If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 511: Chapter 461: Taking Care of Mother and Child
 

Shen Chi took a handkerchief from his pocket, clenched his teeth, furrowed his brows, and forcibly extracted the glass from his flesh.

Large beads of sweat emerged on his forehead, but he kept silent.

“Mr. Shen, let me help you,” although Xiao Mo was a man, even he felt distressed watching this.

The glass was forcibly pulled out from the arm, and the blood kept flowing. Xiao Mo’s face was full of worry, and he was very anxious.

How painful it must be!

“You drive!” Shen Chi ordered.

He frowned, wrapped the handkerchief around the wound, and stopped the bleeding.

Xiao Mo had a helpless expression on his face. He had been with Shen Chi for so long, and he knew his character well; it was unlikely to change.

“Mr. Shen, where are we headed now?” Xiao Mo asked cautiously.

He saw that Shen Chi’s facial expressions were always tense and did not dare to say too much.

Shen Chi’s face grew increasingly pale, as there was still no reply to his message.

The dim light shone on Shen Chi’s face, the coldness in his eyes bone-chilling.

After a long while, he finally calmed his expression and uttered a few words, “Go find Shen Shihan.”

Xiao Mo nodded, “Okay.”

The message must have been sent by someone from the Shen Shihan camp. Shen Chi could no longer care to investigate anything else; he needed Xu Chaomu to be safe.

Five years ago, he hadn’t protected her well, and they had missed out on five whole years.

In a lifetime, how many more sets of five years…

More so, Xu Chaomu was pregnant!

He had said that he would treat her child as his own, would treat her well, and also be good to her child.

Even if it meant paying any price, he would ensure her and the child were safe.

Xiao Mo drove toward Shen Shihan’s villa, the temperature inside the car grew cold. Even though it was summer, all of this induced an infinite chill.

“Mumu, you mustn’t have anything happen to you.”

The car passed the business district; neither Xiao Mo nor Shen Chi spoke, the surrounding scenery was rapidly moving backward.

Xiao Mo stepped harder on the accelerator, reaching a speed of a hundred and twenty.

“Mr. Shen, do you need me to bring a few people with us?” Xiao Mo inquired.

“No need.”

“But what if Vice President Shen isn’t home…”

“What if I respond in kind?” Shen Chi’s dark eyes grew stormy.

Suddenly, Xiao Mo understood. What Shen Chi meant was that if Shen Shihan wasn’t home, he could very well take the third young madam away.

“I understand,” Xiao Mo said.

“Do you think I am despicable?” Shen Chi’s face showed a trace of weariness.

“You’re too kind,” Xiao Mo said.

To outsiders, Shen Chi indeed seemed ruthless and heartless, but having been with him for so long, Xiao Mo knew that Shen Chi was a man who valued relationships and loyalty.

Although Shen Shihan was not his full brother, he had never laid a hand on anyone close to Shen Shihan.

Just like five years ago when the Lou Family sabotaged contracts and designs, putting Shen Chi in a difficult position, he did not hold on to any grudges afterward.

But Shen Chi’s concessions did not amount to cowardice; if Shen Shihan did not stop, Shen Chi would be merciless.

Shen Chi did not speak again, with the night outlining his deep contours.

Suddenly, just as Xiao Mo was driving towards Shen Shihan’s small villa, Shen Chi’s phone rang!

The light illuminated Shen Chi’s face, making the coldness in his eyes even sharper.

This time, the message actually included an address!

The location where Xu Chaomu was!

“Wait, Xiao Mo, turn around, head to Su City Garden!”

“Mr. Shen, what happened?”

“He sent the address of where Chaomu is!” Shen Chi said coldly.

“Alright, I’m turning around now.”

Xiao Mo quickly drove onto another road, and at this point, it was obvious that saving Xu Chaomu came first.

“Mr. Shen, could this be a trap? Could it be a ruse to lure you there?” Xiao Mo asked, confusion on his face.

Could it be that Shen Shihan only did half the job?

“Do you think I would leave Xu Chaomu in a deserted, desolate place?”

“I mean, should we call the police?”

“Not for now.” Shen Chi’s eyes twinkled as he raised his hand to stop Xiao Mo.

“Okay,” Xiao Mo nodded.

Su City Garden wasn’t far from the business district. Driving there would take only about twenty minutes.

Xiao Mo’s heart was in his throat, ready to aid Shen Chi if they encountered danger upon arrival.

But since the other party chose to bring Xu Chaomu to a populated residential complex like Su City Garden, they probably wouldn’t make a move.

Even if they did, it wouldn’t be a very loud confrontation.

The other side wouldn’t use guns, and neither would they.

“Mr. Shen, how is your arm, any serious issues?”

Shen Chi had injured his left arm, now bandaged with the handkerchief, which was not only dyeing his shirt but also the handkerchief red.

“It’s nothing.”

Xiao Mo had nothing else to say; with so much blood lost, how could it be fine.

The car approached Su City Garden, and the closer they got, the more Xiao Mo’s nerves were on edge.

Now, there were only Shen Chi and he.

If there was an ambush, they were sure to be in danger.

But what lied ahead was a mystery to them, the only option was to move forward!

“Xiao Mo, when we get there, I will go upstairs alone to save Chaomu, and you will wait for me downstairs,” Shen Chi said.

“Mr. Shen, that’s too dangerous. If they use your wife to threaten you when you’re alone, what will you do?”

Xiao Mo remembered what happened five years ago; they had used such tactics to force Shen Chi to relinquish the diamond mine.

If they resorted to the same methods, given Shen Chi’s love for Xu Chaomu, he would certainly agree to anything.

Shen Chi, loved Xu Chaomu too much.

“That’s why I need you to back me up downstairs,” Shen Chi said.

After deliberating for a moment, Xiao Mo nodded, “Okay, Mr. Shen, I’ll cover you from downstairs.”

Xiao Mo felt that Shen Chi’s plan was also sensible; if both went upstairs and they fell into a trap, then even the chance to call the police would be lost.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi replied solemnly.

After rounding a corner, the car approached the entrance of Su City Garden.

Su City Garden, while not a particularly upscale residential complex, was quiet, with the entire complex seemingly asleep.

It was past three in the morning, and one could hear the chirping of the summer insects, “chee-chee, chee-chee,” intermittently carrying through the air.

Most of the lights in the building were out, and the many buildings loomed like gigantic creatures.

“Stay here, I’m going up,” Shen Chi whispered to Xiao Mo.

“Okay,” Xiao Mo nodded his head.

Xiao Mo parked the car under a lush tree, a good spot for cover. Once Shen Chi got out, he turned off all the car lights.

Unless someone came really close and looked carefully, no one would notice someone was inside the car!

Shen Chi got out of the car, armed with only one gun.

The best outcome was not needing to use the gun at all!

The streetlight cast a long shadow of Shen Chi, and soon, the figure in the dark shirt blended into the darkness of the complex.

Xiao Mo watched as Shen Chi slowly disappeared from view, preparing himself thoroughly for what might come.

Shen Chi had already memorized the address from the message, and now, he made his way there, following the floor numbers.

He advanced with his long legs, his gaze firm, his eagle-like eyes scanning his surroundings vigilantly.
