If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 990 - Chapter 990 Chapter 990 Theres No Possibility of Him Letting

Chapter 990: Chapter 990: There’s No Possibility of Him Letting Go Chapter 990: Chapter 990: There’s No Possibility of Him Letting Go Shen Chi narrowed his eyes, gazing into the distant sky.

The area was eerily silent, the only sound came from the waves beating against the rocks, and when the tide calmed, he could even hear his own heartbeat.

He sat for a long time, and as the night progressed, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers gradually died down, and no more fireworks lit the sky.

Shen Chi closed his eyes, and at that moment, all he could hear was the endless sound of the sea.

The sea breeze brushed his face, but he didn’t feel cold, as if he had lost all sensation.

All he knew was that the place in his chest, it hurt a lot.

He remembered this part of the sea was where he had once brought Xu Chaomu, she said it was the first time he took her out.

That day, she had fun, her smile as radiant as sunflowers.

He remembered on that day, he took many photos of her, those photos are still in the album at Waterside Pavilion. One of them, he even made into a crystal frame, placed in his office, where he looked at it every day.

Now, sitting here, he could almost hear her joyful laughter, and the sound of her calling him “Fourth Brother.”

But, once he opened his eyes, there was nothing but the endless night.

He knew, she was resolved to leave, she didn’t want him anymore.

The mere thought of it made his chest tighten, an agony so intense it felt like death.

The tide crashed against the rocks, wave after wave. The sea at night was pitch black, shimmering with a dark luster, just like the sky above, dark and profound.

Gradually, as it got deeper into the night, everything became quieter and quieter.

There were no more fireworks, and it was pitch black everywhere you turned.

Shen Chi’s fists clenched tighter, and as he closed his eyes, tears began to stream down unwittingly.

He truly loved her, cared so much about her, but he knew, many of the mistakes were his…

But still, he would search for her his entire life! He could never, as her letter suggested, find another woman to marry and spend the latter half of his life with.

For the rest of his life, he only wished to spend it with her.

After so many years of knowing each other, there was no possibility of him letting go.

He sat silently on the rock, letting the fierce wind blow his coat, causing it to flutter noisily.

In the deep darkness of the night, his spine stood ramrod straight, like a lonely statue.

Shen Chi sat by the sea all night, his mind full of the shadow of Xu Chaomu, an image he couldn’t shake.

Perhaps it was too much longing, but by morning, his head was throbbing with pain, and he headed to his car alone.

Too exhausted, he couldn’t drive and simply leaned against the driver’s seat with his eyes closed.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t forget Xu Chaomu’s face, especially how just a few days before, she had looped her arms around his neck and said she “liked” him…

The more he thought about it, the more the pain racked his heart, even his brows furrowed deeply, this little liar was really tormenting him to death…

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Xiao Mo made another call to Shen Chi, but again, it went straight to voicemail, unanswered.

Having no other choice, he sent Shen Chi a text message, wishing him a happy New Year.

Starting from the first day, he called Shen Chi every morning and evening, without missing a single day. But, Shen Chi never answered.

He also called the butler, and the butler also told him that Shen Chi hadn’t come back since New Year’s Eve.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day, and Xiao Mo, as usual, made his morning call to Shen Chi, still with no response.

He truly didn’t know where Shen Chi had gone, and the butler was also anxious.

On the sixth day, Shen Group officially opened for business.

Xiao Mo went to the company several times, the door to the CEO’s office was locked tight, with no one having come in.

He also called Li Beiting and Ji Shengxuan privately, but no one had seen Shen Chi.

In the end, he waited at the Waterside Pavillion and Shen Chi returned.

Shen Chi was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Mo, but it was also within his expectations.

“President Shen, work starts tomorrow, about various agendas of the group…”

“Handle it as you see fit,” Shen Chi cut him off directly.

After saying that, Shen Chi walked straight into the Waterside Pavillion.

Xiao Mo saw that Shen Chi’s face was filled with exhaustion and even some faint blue stubble had grown on his face, which had not been tended to; he looked utterly spiritless.

“President Shen, has your phone been off these past days?” Xiao Mo hurried after him, asking.

“Yes,” Shen Chi responded indifferently.

“President Shen, rest assured, Miss Xu will be found,” Xiao Mo said.

“If she can’t be found, then so be it. I, Shen Chi, am not someone who can’t live without her!” Shen Chi said with a resolute face, not turning his head as he walked toward the living room.

“President Shen!”

Xiao Mo wanted to follow, but Shen Chi had already closed the door, leaving him no choice but to depart from the Waterside Pavillion.

What kind of thing was that to say?

Xiao Mo guessed that Shen Chi had gone to search for Xu Chaomu personally these past few days, burdened by heavy thoughts but refusing to admit it aloud.

However, all the surveillance materials and the like about Xu Chaomu were in his hands, so even if Shen Chi were searching, it would be a challenge.

At this moment, with the living room door tightly locked, Xiao Mo didn’t feel it appropriate to enter, so he chatted with the young servant at the door for a bit.

“Has President Shen not come back recently?” he asked.

“Young Master Four would come back at night, but also rarely,” the young servant whispered. “You’re fortunate today; you happened to encounter Young Master Four returning.”

“Take care of President Shen, call me if anything comes up,” Xiao Mo instructed.

“Alright,” the young servant nodded.

“Okay, that’ll do, you can go back now.”

After speaking, Xiao Mo walked toward his car; he was certain that Shen Chi had been out looking for Xu Chaomu but had returned without success.

If he had the intention to cover up for Xu Chaomu, it wouldn’t be easy for Shen Chi to find her in a short time.

It seemed that, in the end, only time would tell.

After returning, Xiao Mo prepared several reports needed for the New Year’s meetings, as tomorrow was the first day back at work after New Year, and Shen Chi was certain to attend the high-level executive meeting at the company.

Xiao Mo knew that Shen Chi was clear-headed, never vague when it was time to work.

He came back and prepared a few things needed for the meetings before sending them over to Shen Chi.

Seeing it was still early, he opened the other emails on his computer.

A few were from his subordinates; previously, he had asked them to investigate the whereabouts of Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian.

Upon opening one, the email stated that during the time Xu Chaomu gave premature birth, Zhou Ran had been in the Luo Family Medical Group’s ward taking care of Shen Cexian, with neither exhibiting any unusual behavior. Zhou Ran’s movements were limited to the ward and some shops, and Shen Cexian hadn’t summoned any subordinates either.

As he read on, Xiao Mo’s frown deepened.

This email, after days of investigation, concluded essentially that Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian were not suspects.

Whether they truly lacked suspicion needed further review; one email wasn’t enough to conclude anything.

He had said it himself; he would certainly root out the mastermind behind the scenes!

If it really were Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian, he could do what Shen Chi couldn’t.

He furrowed his brows in deep thought when, at that moment, his phone rang.
