If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1261: Impossible to Escape the Death Penalty

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: Impossible to Escape the Death Penalty

"The result?" Xu Chaomu laughed, "He was unkind to the young lady again, wasn’t he?"

"Yeah, he straight-up blacklisted her, and her future is ruined," Xiao Mo said with a helpless smile.

"Why is he so petty? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion," Xu Chaomu felt that Shen Chi could be quite childish sometimes, "Won’t even allow others to have a different view?"

"That’s not it, the point is the young lady dared to speak her mind in front of President Shen, which is clueless of her." Xiao Mo explained, "Of course, the most important thing is, President Shen and I both think she... is blind."

Xu Chaomu burst into laughter, blind...

"Chaomu, I’ll come and see you and Xiaobao when I have time, the little guy must have grown a lot, right?"

"Yeah, kids grow up so fast."

"I wonder if he still recognizes me."

"Of course, he does, sometimes he even calls for ’Uncle Xiao Mo’."

"I’ll come when I have time," Xiao Mo laughed.

"Is the company very busy recently? I see that Shen Chi often comes back late at night and leaves before dawn."

"Mm..." Xiao Mo didn’t know quite what to say, "It’s the beginning of the year, you know, there are always a bit more things to deal with."

"You both need to rest well, balance work with leisure, don’t wear yourselves out."

"I’m not too worried about myself, I just worry that President Shen works hard during the day and even harder at night."

"Hey, Xiao Mo, has Shen Chi led you astray! I should ask him to dock your bonus!" Xu Chaomu snorted coldly.

Xiao Mo also laughed: "Alright, no more teasing, you can drop by the company when you have time, we’re still keeping your spot in the design department. Linda also said she hasn’t seen you in a long time, she misses you."

"I’ll go when I have time," Xu Chaomu said lightly.

"Mm, it’s still raining outside, quite cold, do take good care of yourself and Xiaobao."

After chatting for a bit more, Xiao Mo hung up the phone.

Just after hanging up, Shen Chi asked Xiao Mo to come up.

Xiao Mo entered the CEO’s office, and upon opening the door, he smelled a whiff of cigarette smoke. He frowned slightly and said lightly, "President Shen, are you troubled by something? You’re not still angry about that model from last night, are you?"

"She means nothing," Shen Chi said in a hoarse voice.

"Mm, President Shen, the downtown project is about to get started, I’ve prepared the documents for you, please review them when you have time."

"Leave them here," Shen Chi extinguished the cigarette in his hand, "Sit."

Xiao Mo sat down on the couch and looked at Shen Chi.

Shen Chi pressed a button on the remote control, and the screen on the wall slowly descended. Shen Chi inserted a USB drive into the computer, and after a moment, images were projected on the screen.

Xiao Mo stared curiously at the screen: "President Shen, what’s this?"

"I’ve received all the evidence from California. Look at this harbor; this is the most important port for exporting Shen Shihan’s goods, because it’s the territory of the local boss, who is very lax with Shen Shihan’s shipments."

Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes, indeed, the harbor was geographically advantaged.

"Shen Shihan’s company was missing a significant amount of funds before it was established," Shen Chi said.

"I’ve found that out as well, once the funds arrive, the vice president’s company can start operating immediately," Xiao Mo said.

"Where the funds come from, I think, doesn’t need to be said," Shen Chi said with a serious tone and a solemn, earnest expression.

Of course, Xiao Mo knew, and he nodded, "It seems that this last big financial push still relies on this batch of goods. If I’m not mistaken, the next shipment will still be drugs."

"That’s correct, easily transported, high cost, quick transactions," Shen Chi analyzed calmly, "Therefore, Shen Shihan will definitely transport a batch of drugs from this port back to our country."

"President Shen, this is no longer just about Shen Group; this harms the national interest."

"Shen Shihan is very cautious and meticulous in his dealings; aside from us, I’m afraid no one else has noticed."

"Then Mr. Shen, should we make another trip to California?" Xiao Mo stared at the screen.

"We must go, but not now," Shen Chi stated resolutely.

"But the matter is urgent," Xiao Mo said.

"I’ll have someone continue to gather more information. Once that batch of goods reaches the port, we must intercept it; we absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be bitten back like the last time."

Xiao Mo’s face also took on a heavier cast: "I understand. This time we can only succeed, not fail."

"Yes."

"Once we get our hands on that batch of goods and add sufficient evidence, I’m afraid... the vice president of Shen Group might not escape the death penalty." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

At this point, Xiao Mo sounded somewhat regretful in his tone.

He had known Shen Shihan for many years, and that man was indeed very talented and ambitious.

It was precisely because of his pride in his talents that he wasn’t willing to play second fiddle to Shen Chi, and for many years there has been an overt and covert struggle between them.

Six years ago, Shen Chi had nearly been defeated by Shen Shihan. The blowback incident at the beginning of the year had also plunged Shen Group into a credibility crisis that it was still not entirely recovered from.

Actually, if Shen Shihan could turn over a new leaf and earnestly stay at Shen’s, he could definitely work with Shen Chi to make Shen Group even more powerful.

But... human hearts are too hard to predict.

"But we need to be very careful. If we are bitten back, the ones who might not escape the death penalty could be us," Shen Chi said heavily as he slapped the desk.

"Mr. Shen, I understand." Xiao Mo’s mood was also very heavy.

The power of Shen Shihan should not be underestimated; one must be cautious in every action.

Shen Chi pointed to the screen and discussed the situation with Xiao Mo. Throughout the entire process, Shen Chi was neither frivolous nor smiling, his expression stern.

Xiao Mo also raised some of his own opinions; it was only now that he realized the deep-seated reason for Shen Chi’s persistent melancholy.

Such a matter would be a heavy burden on anyone, carrying great responsibility.

What’s more, Shen Group’s credibility was still in the process of recovery; at such a time, even more caution was required.

The two discussed in the office for a whole morning. After finishing the conversation, Shen Chi let Xiao Mo leave.

After putting away the screen, he flipped through the documents in his hands.

The commercial street project was also extremely urgent, but fortunately, Ji Shengxuan was overseeing it, so he didn’t need to focus too much of his energy there. However, as one of the key shareholders, he still needed to find time to visit.

He rubbed his temples and silently leaned back in his chair.

It seemed he would not be able to return home early today; he still had a meeting to attend with the public relations department in the afternoon.

What he didn’t expect was for Xu Chaomu to come over while he was working overtime in the evening.

She had personally made rib soup and prepared several dishes, having Xiaogao send her to Shen Group.

She had called Xiao Mo in advance, knowing he would be working late, and wanted to surprise him.

But she was afraid of being seen, so she quietly stayed in the parking lot and called Shen Chi.

"Come pick me up," Xu Chaomu said coyly.

"Hmm? Where are you?" Shen Chi was somewhat surprised.

"I’m at the Group."

"The Group? Where are you?" Shen Chi was quite surprised.

"In the underground parking lot, come down and help me with something," Xu Chaomu laughed, "The lunch boxes are quite heavy."

Shen Chi was startled, and suddenly, a warm surge spread from his heart; he quickly put down his work.
