If You Could Hear My Heart

Xu Chaomu watched the video with a heavy heart and was certain that that night, he had drunk too much alcohol.

This man typically held his liquor well and wasn’t easily intoxicated, but at this moment, not only was he drunk, he was completely plastered.

Just as the elevator reached this floor and came to a stop, the doors opened, and Shen Chi, leaning against the wall, staggered inside.

The elevator doors closed swiftly.

As the elevator began its descent and Xu Chaomu was about to switch the video, suddenly, she saw a figure appear in the corridor.

She quickly hit the zoom button, staring unblinkingly at the screen.

It was a woman in a white dress!

Xu Chaomu was so startled she nearly screamed. A ghost from the legends?!

A cold sweat broke out on her back, and Xu Chaomu’s hands trembled.

At this point, the surveillance video was completely silent, and Xu Chaomu was too frightened to keep looking at the screen.

This was scarier than any horror movie she usually watched!

She hurriedly shrunk the video, wanting to click the “X” and close it.

But upon reflection, if she didn’t continue watching, she wouldn’t know what happened.

There was no choice but to brace herself and continue watching.

The white-clad woman remained hidden in a corner, the video only revealing a blur of white; nothing else could be made out.

The elevator soon reached the ground floor and stopped.

Xu Chaomu stared at the screen, careful not to miss any detail.

When Shen Chi had first come out, she hadn’t noticed the woman hiding in the corner.

Could it really be… a ghost?!

Xu Chaomu shivered uncontrollably, no… it wasn’t possible, she couldn’t scare herself like this.

Yet at this moment, her whole body was cold, her icy hands crossed over each other, her shoulders shaking.

The image was very dark, her whole body trembling slightly.

Even though it was a summer afternoon, she felt the cold of winter.

A long time passed, and the woman was still there.

Xu Chaomu had no choice but to hit the fast forward button, her hand on the mouse trembling slightly….

Five minutes later, the woman in white finally came out of the corner and walked towards the room where she was staying.

Closer and closer she got, until… when the woman walked under the camera, Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened. Jian Sisi! It was Jian Sisi!

A jolt shot through her chest, her heart pounding away.

Jian Sisi was wearing a white dress and her face was devoid of expression.

Xu Chaomu finally patted her chest and took a deep breath, damn, that scared the crap out of her.

She held her breath and continued to gaze at the screen.

Jian Sisi lingered at the door of her room for quite some time, occasionally looking up at the room number.

At first, Jian Sisi’s face was expressionless, but after a while, she bit her lip, her face filled with an indignant look.

Xu Chaomu didn’t understand what she had to be so angry about but was curious about the child in Jian Sisi’s belly.

Could it be, after Shen Chi had returned from outside, he had been with Jian Sisi…?

Uh… Surely, the man didn’t have that much stamina, right?

And besides, getting pregnant on the same day was way too unlikely.

Slapping her forehead, Xu Chaomu rubbed her temples, wondering what she was thinking.

She was supposed to be reviewing serious investigation videos, yet her mind occasionally wandered off track.

Especially since, the sounds she had just heard in the room were still echoing in her ears.

No, no, no, she was a pure person.

On the video, Jian Sisi lingered at the door for a long time, seemingly contemplating something.

Xu Chaomu watched her intently, wondering what she was up to.

Time ticked away second by second, and the numbers on the video kept jumping.

After a while, Jian Sisi finally walked away from the door.

She didn’t take the elevator; she chose to walk down the stairs.

Xu Chaomu was torn, with only one computer at her disposal, should she watch Shen Chi first, or keep an eye on Jian Sisi…?

After some thought, she figured Shen Chi must have gone down to get some fresh air; it would be better to continue watching Jian Sisi.

Jian Sisi’s appearance plunged Xu Chaomu into deep thought.

This woman, Jian Sisi, she had seen her once at the hospital, and she didn’t seem like a pushover.

Therefore, Xu Chaomu continued to switch through the videos.

She was honestly grateful to Fenfen for getting her hands on all the videos from that day.

There was only a dim light at the stairwell, and Jian Sisi switched on her phone.

The phone’s light illuminated the path beneath her feet, making it visible.

Xu Chaomu had to admire her courage; wandering around the hotel in the dead of night, garbed in a white dress, was truly frightening.

While ascending the stairs, Jian Sisi entered a room and then dialed a number on her phone.

Once the door closed, Xu Chaomu couldn’t see anything and hurriedly checked other videos to see if any happened to monitor that room.

She searched laboriously for a good while but found none.

There was one camera near the window of that room, and Xu Chaomu clicked it opened with a try-and-see attitude.

She couldn’t see the video, but she could faintly hear sound.

Xu Chaomu was really thankful to Fenfen, but had to admit, the hotel’s surveillance was quite intense.

Xu Chaomu turned the volume up to the highest, eager to listen to whom Jian Sisi was talking.

At last, she heard something, even though the voice was very soft.

“Zhuo Fan, he was helped into a room downstairs.”

“Yeah, it was I who drugged his drink, but he didn’t come to my room, did he?”

“Right, he was severely intoxicated.”

“What? You want me to pretend…”

“That’s not an issue, but what if Shen Chi finds out… He’s ruthless, and if I’m exposed, I’m done for.”

“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll go test the waters first, see if he remembers entering someone’s room just now.”

“I got it, I’ll be careful.”

“Mm.”

The voice faded and Xu Chaomu couldn’t hear any more.

As expected, Jian Sisi had drugged Shen Chi.

No wonder Shen Chi lost control tonight.

But what did her words mean? What was Jian Sisi planning to do? Looking at this, the child in Jian Sisi’s belly was probably not Shen Chi’s.

Gradually, she could no longer hear anything…

About ten minutes later, Jian Sisi emerged from the room, draped in a light gray shawl, her hair disheveled, her face looking as if she had been crying.

She was entirely different from the Jian Sisi from earlier.

Xu Chaomu was curious. What exactly was Jian Sisi causing a fuss about?

She closed the room’s door and lingered in the doorway for a long time before wrapping half of her face with a scarf and walking towards the elevator.

Xu Chaomu watched her intently, not daring to fast-forward, growing more curious.

Shen Chi always thought the woman from that night was Jian Sisi, so what exactly did this Jian Sisi do?

Damn it, she was the real victim here.

And it wasn’t just once.

Now, there was an extra little bun in her belly.

Xu Chaomu’s hand involuntarily brushed her abdomen, gently touching it, feeling the changes in the child already.
