Chapter 877: Chapter 877 The Witness to That Incident
She struggled fiercely, trying to leap out of Uncle Mo’s arms, but the strength of a ten-year-old girl could never match that of an adult, and besides, Uncle Mo would never let her go.
And so she watched as everything burned to ashes.
The fire consumed the house, the trees, the crops… like a beast, devouring everything in one night.
She was held in Uncle Mo’s embrace, and at that time she longed for a torrential rain to fall from the sky, but sadly, it did not come.
The air was filled with the smell of charred destruction, irresistible and unforgettable to this very day…
The audio continued to play the man’s voice: “That’s all I can think of for now.”
Then there was no sound, the audio was filled with a “hissing” noise, and shortly after, even that noise ceased abruptly.
Xu Chaomu slumped into the chair, cradling her head, which was throbbing with intense, dull pain.
The man’s voice echoed in her ears, constantly revolving like buzzing bees, loud and persistent.
Who had sent her this audio? Who was this man?
Without a doubt, this man was a witness to the incident thirteen years ago; if he appeared, she could fully accuse Zhou Ran…
Who sent her this? Who was it…

Her heart was torn, on one hand, she couldn’t let go of her mother’s vengeance, she didn’t want to see Zhou Ran get away with it, she wanted to gather evidence, she wanted Zhou Ran to be punished; but on the other hand, Zhou Ran was Shen Chi’s mother, his biological mother. If she proceeded, Shen Chi would never forgive her, he definitely wouldn’t.
At this moment, her heart felt like a deer rampaging inside, her whole heart in complete disarray.
She raked her hair frantically, at a loss for what to do.
Why send these things to her, why…
Her mind was too cluttered, unable to settle down at all, her entire being in a state of extreme agitation.
She wanted to cry, but she wanted to smash things even more!
Why make her see these things after thirteen years, why five years ago did she have to discover the cruel truth, why, why everything…
She covered her face, and tears slipped through her fingers.
Too distressed, she threw a cup from the table onto the floor!
With a “clang,” the cup shattered, and upon hearing that sound, her heart felt somewhat relieved.
She tried to calm herself, but the more she tried, the less calm she felt. What should she do, what to do…
Why did this have to happen to her, why put her in such a dilemma, she really couldn’t make a choice…
Because she was overtaken by anxiety and tension, she felt severe stomach pain.
She clutched her stomach with one hand and gripped the armrest of the chair tightly with the other. Large beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, dampening her hair.
She struggled to keep herself calm, too much emotional fluctuation was not good for the baby.
She picked up the water cup from the table, intending to take a sip.
But her hand shook violently, and before the cup could reach her lips, it slipped from her palm to the ground with another jarring sound.
Xu Chaomu was starting to lose control over her emotions, a feeling of breakdown she had last experienced five years ago.
It had been five years, and she hadn’t anticipated that such emotions would surface again.
She had thought herself to be invulnerable, but now realized that was simply naive thinking.
She clutched her stomach, her whole body nearly collapsing onto the table.
With too much tension, nervousness, and agitation… her stomach cramped and hurt fiercely.
Unable to bear it, she struggled towards the bed, hoping to lie down and rest for a while, perhaps she would feel a bit better lying down.
She supported herself against the bed and slowly made her way to the headboard.
She was almost walking with a bent back, because it hurt too much…
Sweat droplets fell one by one from her forehead, as the little one inside her stomach wouldn’t stop kicking, as if in discomfort.
Having finally reached the headboard, she flipped back the covers and sat down on the bed.
Taking deep breaths, she closed her eyes, trying her best to stabilize her emotions.
In her heart, she told herself not to think too much, that what had passed was gone…
But the more she thought like that, the less she could forgive herself, because this was a chasm between life and death, how could she just forget?
She tried to divert her attention, shifting her thoughts elsewhere.
For instance, when Shen Chi took her to the seaside to clear her mind, or when Shen Chi proposed to her, or when he played piano for her…
The time he gave her was mostly warm.
Recalling these beautiful moments and breathing deeply a few times, at last, her heartbeat slowly returned to normal.
The pain in her belly eased a bit, and she leaned back against the bed as if she had just walked across the edge of a knife.
She slowly opened her eyes, and that’s when her belly finally felt a bit better.
The room was very warm, and she rubbed her belly, whispering softly, “Baby… what should Mommy do…”
She really didn’t know what to do, how could she know what to do…
Of course, the little one in her belly wouldn’t answer her, so she just caressed him gently.
Only this little one could bring her endless happiness; with him, she knew, no difficulty was truly a difficulty.
If she made the audio evidence public or found this man, she was certain she could take Zhou Ran to court and unveil her true face as an executioner. But, she feared losing Shen Chi.
Caught between her mother and Shen Chi, she couldn’t make a balanced decision; they were both people she loved…
In this world, one can’t always have it all.
She sighed, caressing the little bun in her belly, and loving her baby.
She didn’t know how much time had passed as she just sat on the bed…
The sunlight outside was pleasant, shining through the curtains onto the floor, filling the entire bedroom with sunbeams, adding a touch of warmth to the chilly season.
The bedroom heater was on, and Xu Chaomu didn’t feel cold, but her hands were still icy.
As if she had been sitting for a very long time, not knowing what time it was, a maid knocked on her door.
“Madam Four, are you awake? It’s time for lunch.”
Xu Chaomu felt weak, as if she was nothing more than an empty shell.
Struggling, she managed to squeeze out a few feeble words, “I’ll be right there…”
Fortunately, the maid heard her and cheerfully replied, “Alright, then I’ll go downstairs and get everything ready for you.”
As soon as the maid left, Xu Chaomu struggled to get down from the bed.
She remembered, there was still a video file on the USB drive.
Having just listened to that audio file was already excruciating, she didn’t know if she had the courage to watch that video file to the end.
Struggling off the bed, she dragged her weary body to the computer.
She clicked open the video file, trying hard to keep herself calm.
At first, the video was pitch black, then suddenly, while Xu Chaomu was intently staring at the screen, the video emitted a “whooshing” sound.
