If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 995 - Chapter 995 Chapter 995 He Longs For Her To Return To His Side

Chapter 995: Chapter 995: He Longs For Her To Return To His Side Chapter 995: Chapter 995: He Longs For Her To Return To His Side Butler Ling searched for Wealth for many days, practically mobilizing all the Shen Family servants, but still couldn’t find him, nor did anyone see when Wealth disappeared.

This naughty dog, who knows where he went.

Butler Ling had no other choice, having searched for a long time without success.

As for Shen Chi, he didn’t take the matter to heart.

He was busy with work every day, he even put away the photo of Xu Chaomu in his office.

“Mr. Shen, will you attend the red wine soiree next Friday?” A secretary called the president’s office.

“Yes,” said Shen Chi indifferently.

“All right, I’ll make the arrangements now.” The secretary was a bit surprised, after all, Shen Chi rarely attended such events.

Moreover, there was going to be a charity fundraising event at the red wine soiree, which many media outlets would attend. Shen Chi always disliked participating in too many public events and usually delegated such duties to his subordinates.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Chi resumed dealing with the business street project he had previously discussed with Ji Shengxuan.

Perhaps because he was in such a bad mood, he lit a cigarette, and looking at the documents while smoking seemed to help a lot.

When the office was filled with smoke, Xiao Mo knocked and entered.

“Cough,” Xiao Mo coughed lightly, not expecting the office to be so full of smoke.

He looked up and, sure enough, there were many cigarette butts in the ashtray, and Shen Chi was looking down at the documents in his hands with furrowed brows.

“Mr. Shen, there’s a fax from Switzerland,” Xiao Mo said, holding a thick stack of documents.

“Leave it,” Shen Chi said without looking up.

“Okay.”

“You’ll also attend the red wine soiree next Friday night,” Shen Chi stated.

“I heard from Secretary Jiang Lin, and I will be attending,” said Xiao Mo.

“That’s all, you can go. Contact Ji Shengxuan and check how far he has gotten with the government regarding the business street project.”

“Right away.”

“Mhm.”

Shen Chi didn’t lift his head and continued to scrutinize the documents in his hand, annotating the pages with his pen.

Xiao Mo hesitated to leave, and after a long while, he finally spoke, “Mr. Shen, about Miss Xu, I…”

“During working hours, don’t bring up personal matters!” Shen Chi cut him off directly.

“Okay.” Xiao Mo nodded and then left the president’s office.

As soon as the door closed, Shen Chi felt a prick in his heart, a hidden ache throbbing.

He lowered his head again, not wanting to think anymore and instead focused on the work at hand.

He couldn’t give her an explanation for what happened thirteen years ago; he knew he didn’t have the courage to send his own birth mother to prison. Similarly, he couldn’t give her an explanation for the lost child, the child was indeed gone.

Now, he just wanted to know if she was doing well.

If possible, he wished she could return to his side.

Leaving the president’s office, Xiao Mo went to his own, and just as he sat down, his phone rang.

“What’s up?”

“Secretary Xiao, we found something at the First Hospital. A series of prenatal test reports done by Mrs. Shen were copied, and traces of the copying were left on the computer.”

“Could it have been for the doctor’s use?”

“No, these ordinary reports are of no use, unless someone wanted to know in detail about Mrs. Shen’s due date, pregnancy cycle, and a series of pregnancy reactions and so on.”

“So who copied them?”

“These are all matters concerning patient privacy; ordinary staff can’t access them at the hospital, only hospital doctors.”

Xiao Mo fell into thought; does this mean someone deliberately went to the First Hospital to get all of Xu Chaomu’s pregnancy information?

Only by obtaining these documents could they pick the best date to act more precisely.

“Continue,” Xiao Mo said.

“When I was investigating the gynecologists, I discovered something, a young female doctor died not long ago.”

“Died?” Xiao Mo spoke in a heavy tone.

However, Xiao Mo’s mind worked quickly, and he swiftly connected all the dots.

Yes, to execute the plan without arousing suspicion, the only way was to ensure the doctor who tampered with things died, and if he wasn’t mistaken, it must be a death that wouldn’t be easily detected.

So Xiao Mo casually asked, “How did she die?”

“Ruled out homicide, she coughed at night, failed to catch her breath, and died.”

“Really clever, able to handle things without leaving a trace,” Xiao Mo remarked with a cold laugh.

“That’s as far as I’ve found; the trail stops here,” the person on the other end of the phone said apologetically.

“Good, keep looking for me,” Xiao Mo’s face showed a trace of satisfaction at last–this matter was finally starting to take shape.

“Also, you asked me to investigate Jian Sisi’s death.”

“What have you found?” Xiao Mo asked.

“It’s been too long, the police concluded it was death by drowning, but whether she fell into the river by accident or was pushed, there’s no way to tell.”

“I understand.”

The death of Jian Sisi was too far in the past; Xiao Mo knew that asking them to look into it was really a tough request.

“Secretary Xiao, I’ll continue to investigate and report to you as soon as I have anything.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

“It’s my duty,” the person replied. “By the way, Secretary Xiao, Miss Shen seems to still be having people investigate Madam Shen’s whereabouts.”

“Lead those people away,” Xiao Mo instructed.

Since he had promised Chaomu, he would help to the end. Of course, should there come a day when Xu Chaomu wanted to see Shen Chi, he would certainly take her to meet him.

But at least for now, Xu Chaomu wasn’t willing.

“Understood.”

“Mhm.”

Xiao Mo hung up the phone, set aside the work in his hands, and stood at the window of his office, lost in thought for quite some time.

The weather today was nice–the temperature was slowly rising. It was early spring, and the willow trees by the roadside were already sprouting fresh, yellow buds.

Standing in the tall building and looking out into the distance, his entire view was filled with skyscrapers, stretching endlessly into the horizon.

He stood at the window for a long time, gazing into the distance.

C City was bustling everywhere, distinctly different from Jin City.

He pondered for a moment. Since he last went to see Chaomu in the evening to deliver the Wealth, it had been a long time since he visited Jin City; he wondered how she was doing recently.

He sighed, retracted his gaze, and continued working in front of his computer.

He prepared a few market reports for Shen Chi, and also contacted Ji Shengxuan’s office, staying busy until past ten o’clock at night.

He had delegated the matters concerning Xu Chaomu to his subordinates; he believed he would present Chaomu with the truth.

The rest was up to fate.

…

By the time of the cocktail party on the following Friday, Shen Chi still hadn’t received any news about Xu Chaomu, truly feeling a sense of disappointment.

At the party, he inevitably drank a few extra glasses of wine. If it weren’t for the charity fundraising event later, he would probably have gotten drunk.

Xiao Mo was at the party assisting Shen Chi with social obligations; he could tell that Shen Chi was not inclined to participate in such events lately.
