If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 972 - Chapter 972 Chapter 972 She is also an ordinary woman

Chapter 972: Chapter 972 She is also an ordinary woman Chapter 972: Chapter 972 She is also an ordinary woman “Hello, Mr. Dai, Mrs. Shen is missing.”

When that handsome young man rushed to the hotel, indeed, Xu Chaomu had disappeared!

He had always been in charge of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu’s itinerary, and now that Xu Chaomu had vanished, he bore a heavy responsibility!

He quickly reviewed the surveillance footage and saw that Xu Chaomu had left the hotel last night and had not returned since.

“How did you guys lose track of her?” he asked.

“Mr. Dai, Mrs. Shen didn’t take anything with her, just a handbag, saying she was going to a nearby shop to buy some things; we… we didn’t suspect anything.”

The young man became anxious and hurriedly led the hotel staff to search for her.

Not wanting to raise alarm, he discreetly searched around the hotel and the airport, but to no avail!

By noon, he decided to call Xiao Mo.

“Secretary Xiao, I have something to report to you,” he said nervously.

Xiao Mo was dealing with some odds and ends at home when he received the call, which took him by surprise, a bad premonition slipping through his mind.

“What’s the matter?”

“Mrs. Shen is missing.”

“What?” Xiao Mo immediately stood up.

Mrs. Shen is missing? Xu Chaomu is missing!

“Secretary Xiao, is President Shen there? I wanted to discuss this matter with you first. Also, should we call the police?”

“President Shen is on a plane and can’t take calls,” Xiao Mo said calmly.

For a moment, he fell silent. Xu Chaomu had disappeared? Shen Chi had just returned from Sydney, and now Xu Chaomu was gone.

“Secretary Xiao, Mrs. Shen left the hotel around evening yesterday, and the surveillance shows she only took a handbag. I’ve led a team to search for her, but we couldn’t find her.”

“Is there anything unusual in the room?”

“Nothing’s amiss, but several pieces of clothing that Mrs. Shen often wore are… missing from the closet.”

As their conversation reached this point, both sides understood–Xu Chaomu had left on her own!

“Don’t report this to the police for now,” Xiao Mo directed calmly.

“Okay.”

“President Shen is still on the plane, I’ll report this issue. You go and track down Mrs. Shen’s whereabouts,” Xiao Mo instructed.

“I’ll do my best.”

Xiao Mo gave him a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

He also called people in Sydney and gave them orders.

After giving all instructions, he walked to the window.

Xu Chaomu had disappeared, vanished in a foreign land…

Xiao Mo thought about Xu Chaomu from the recent past and suddenly understood something–she was letting go.

After losing her child, Xu Chaomu had been excessively calm, sometimes eerily so. Especially that time at the Shen family dinner, when she invited all her close friends and didn’t show much sadness on her face.

Losing a child, a pain that cuts to the bone, yet Xu Chaomu’s reaction was abnormal.

Only now did Xiao Mo realize that she had long contemplated leaving Shen Chi.

He and Shen Chi probably thought Xu Chaomu was strong, sensible, and optimistic, not like others who would break down crying or become sullen.

But they were both wrong.

No matter how stubborn or strong Xu Chaomu was, she was just an ordinary woman!

How strong could she be after losing a little one who had been in her womb for over seven months?

At this thought, Xiao Mo punched the wall.

How had he not seen it sooner!

The sunlight outside the window shone on Xiao Mo’s face, his heart quivered, and his complexion turned as pale as paper.

Alone, where could she go?

The world abroad is so vast, where could she go?

If Shen Chi arrived in Sydney and couldn’t find Xu Chaomu, would he go crazy? Shen Chi loves Xu Chaomu so much!

At this moment, Xiao Mo was extremely anxious. He had dealt with countless affairs, big and small, but he had never felt as panicked as he did in this moment.

When Xu Chaomu left five years ago, he didn’t feel this way, but now that she had left again after five years, he felt as though he had been stabbed in the heart.

This feeling was too complicated; even Xiao Mo himself couldn’t make sense of it…

That day, Xiao Mo put aside all his work and made countless calls to Sydney.

Finally, he got a reply from the other side: “Mrs. Shen went to the airport last night.

The airport… In other words, Xu Chaomu was no longer in Sydney!

If not in Sydney, where could she go?

Paris, maybe? It was possible, after all, Xu Chaomu had lived there for five years. She had friends in that place and would not be easily found by Shen Chi and him.

“Go to the airport, check the ID card,” Xiao Mo instructed the person on the other line.

“Yes, Secretary Xiao.”

Xiao Mo stood by the window, furrowed his brows, and his piercing eyes stared out at the courtyard before him.

In four more hours, Shen Chi’s plane would arrive in Sydney, and he had to give Shen Chi an explanation.

And Xu Chaomu, out there on her own, how would she take care of herself?

Xiao Mo’s thoughts were extremely complex, and he had guessed a little of Xu Chaomu’s intentions…

In this period, countless big and small things had happened, and there had been friction between Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi. He understood the situation between the two very well, even better than Shen Chi himself.

It’s said that insiders are blinded while outsiders see clearly, and as an onlooker, he could see everything distinctly.

Xiao Mo pursed his lips tightly and looked out the window.

Soon after, he received a call from Sydney: “Secretary Xiao, we couldn’t find any information on Mrs. Shen’s ID card.”

“Check one by one!”

“Alright… Secretary Xiao, give us some time.”

“One hour.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Mo knew that Xu Chaomu was very clever; if she wanted to leave, she would certainly be very cautious.

But he also believed that there must be some trace to follow!

Back home, it was one-thirty in the afternoon.

Sydney called again: “Secretary Xiao, we’ve found two suspicious ID cards, one bought a ticket to C City in our country, the other bought a ticket to Canada.”

“I understand,” Xiao Mo said. “What are the times for each?”

The other side stated the times and explained the situation of the ticket purchasers.

C City, Canada, C City, Canada…

Xiao Mo didn’t need to think it over; he directly instructed, “The one going to C City, check it carefully for me. Within fifteen minutes, send all the information to my cellphone. I’ll have someone connect with the domestic airport.”

“Yes, Secretary Xiao.”

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Mo silently gazed out the window.

Five years ago, Xu Chaomu had stowed away on a ship and fled the country; by the time he hurried to Sumatra Island, it was already too late, and thus he failed to find Xu Chaomu.

Five years later, her little tricks could no longer deceive him.

Indeed, Xu Chaomu was very clever, knowing that the most dangerous place could be the safest.

Quickly, the people in Sydney sent all the information to Xiao Mo’s cellphone.

Xiao Mo filtered out the important information and made another call to the people back home.

The domestic team rushed to the airport urgently and secretly, confirming that the owner of this ticket had already arrived at C City International Airport at seven in the morning.

After that, the trail went cold.

By then, it was four in the afternoon back home.
