Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Hope Chaomu Can Live Happily Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Hope Chaomu Can Live Happily Xiao Mo lowered his head and saw that it was his subordinate.


    “What’s the matter?” he asked in a low voice.


    “Secretary Xiao, have you seen the emails?” the person on the other end asked.


    “Perfect timing, I just looked at them.”


    “The thing is, ever since you spoke to us last time, we have been keeping an eye on Mrs. Zhou and Director Shen and have not noticed anything unusual. Also, during the time Miss Xu had her premature birth, Director Shen was not in good health, and Mrs. Zhou was busy taking care of him. I think it’s unlikely that they tampered with anything at Waterside Pavilion,” the person analyzed.


    “Then have you found any suspicious places?” Xiao Mo asked.


    “There’s nothing with Mrs. Zhou and Director Shen, and similarly, nothing with the third young master of the Shen family.”


    “What have you investigated regarding Vice President Shen?”


    “The third young master always acts with caution, he has no motive for any criminal activity, and the third young master’s grandmother, even less so.”


    “Is that all you’re basing this on?”


    “Yes, there’s no evidence pointing to the third young master of the Shen family.”


    “So in your opinion, this was all an accident?” Xiao Mo said dissatisfied.


    “I will continue to investigate, next, I plan to check First Hospital.”


    Xiao Mo nodded his head, “Good, also check the hospital, and report back to me immediately if there’s any situation.”


    “Understood.”


    “Mhm.” Xiao Mo hung up the phone.


    The weather was not great today, the sky was gloomy, and the scent of fireworks lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate.


    From morning onwards, the sky had been overcast, and by the afternoon, light rain began to drizzle down.


    Once it rained, the entire C City became enveloped in a sense of dreariness.


    Xiao Mo had to go to the group’s offices in the afternoon to get a head start on preparing for tomorrow’s regular meeting, so he put on his overcoat and left his home.


    Upon stepping outside, the wind-blown drizzle fell onto his face, chilling him.


    He looked up at the sky, which remained as dark as ink, seeming to foretell an even bigger rainstorm was on its way.


    Today was the fifth day of the lunar year, and the entire C City was starting to come alive.


    Xiao Mo arrived at the C City garage, parked his car, and stepped out.


    As he was about to head to the elevator, a familiar figure approached him. It was none other than Vice President Shen, Shen Shihan, who he had just mentioned to his subordinate.


    Shen Shihan was removing his black leather gloves, his tall and upright figure garbed in a long coat.


    His face was always composed, his expression stern and solemn.


    He walked with his head down, not seeing Xiao Mo, but when they reached the elevator, they bumped into each other.


    “Vice President Shen,” Xiao Mo greeted.


    “Hello,” Shen Shihan said in a deep voice.


    Neither of them spoke further, silently waiting for the elevator to arrive.


    The garage was very quiet, it was still not time for work, and no one was coming by. The atmosphere surrounding them grew tense.


    In the company, Xiao Mo and Shen Shihan did not talk much. Shen Shihan also knew Xiao Mo was Shen Chi’s man and rarely asked Xiao Mo for anything.


    Whenever they met, they hardly had any common topics to discuss.


    Then, the elevator slowly arrived. The door opened, and Xiao Mo let Shen Shihan enter first before following behind.


    Only upon entering the elevator did Shen Shihan slowly begin, “I’ve heard about Miss Chaomu’s premature birth.”


    Xiao Mo hadn’t expected Shen Shihan to bring this up to him; of course, Shen Shihan must know that many things were being manipulated by him.


    “Mhm,” Xiao Mo responded indifferently.


    “Shen Chi doesn’t believe that Chaomu’s child is his, right?” Shen Shihan’s tone was very indifferent, his face showing no emotion.


    Xiao Mo looked up at Shen Shihan, surprised that Shen Shihan knew quite a bit.


    “That’s just the way he is, sometimes too confident,” Shen Shihan’s voice echoed in the elevator, deep and forceful. “If you really want to seek justice for Chaomu, I think you should start with Jian Sisi.”


    “Jian Sisi?” Xiao Mo exclaimed in surprise.


    Jian Sisi had been dead for a long time, having drowned. How could one start with Jian Sisi?


    “Many things require time to plan,” Shen Shihan said lightly.


    Xiao Mo frowned, a clever man himself, he understood Shen Shihan’s words immediately.


    Was Shen Shihan suggesting that this had been planned long ago? And that Chaomu’s premature birth and Jian Sisi’s death might be related?


    At this moment, the elevator reached Shen Shihan’s floor.


    With a “ding,” Shen Shihan stepped out of the elevator.


    Before walking out, he didn’t turn back, but said indifferently, “I hope Chaomu can live a happy life.”


    After that, Shen Shihan walked away, and soon, he was out of sight.


    The elevator doors closed and continued to rise, while Xiao Mo remained silent.


    He knew very well that Shen Shihan and Shen Chi were irreconcilable, but what kind of feelings did Shen Shihan have for Xu Chaomu?


    Did Shen Shihan care deeply about his sister, or was it merely guilt?


    Still, Shen Shihan’s words made sense. If Chaomu’s premature birth couldn’t be investigated at once, one might trace back to earlier events, and perhaps find some clues.


    Xiao Mo took this matter to heart, deciding to start working on it after tomorrow morning’s routine meeting.


    Yet, before he even entered his own office, Chaomu sent him a text message: “When will you bring Wealth over?”


    Xiao Mo shook his head and laughed helplessly.


    He replied: “It’s difficult.”


    On the other end, Chaomu immediately sent back a “disappointed” emoji and expressed that she really missed her dog.


    He replied with three words: “I’ll do my best.”


    Only then did Chaomu cheer up, sending back an “OK” emoji.


    Putting down his phone, Xiao Mo continued to work on his tasks.


    As for Chaomu, she sat on the balcony, resting her chin in her hand and looking out the window with a distant gaze.


    The sky over Jin City was overcast, pitch-black everywhere, forcing lights to be turned on inside the house.


    She sat by the window, watching the outside scene, where it seemed to be about to snow.


    This winter had seen no snow yet, and she suddenly found herself looking forward to it.


    However, she had been sitting on the balcony since the afternoon, waiting half the day without seeing a single snowflake, while the sky remained gloomy, devoid of any light.


    Xia Chuqing had already gone back to A City with her parents. Chaomu had always thought that Xia Chuqing’s family was well-off. On the second day of the lunar month, when Xia Chuqing’s parents came to pick her up, she had noticed her father’s driver arriving in a Porsche.


    Now, she kind of missed that girl, Xia Chuqing.


    She had also promised Xia Chuqing that she would visit her in C City when she started school.

    But at such a sensitive time, Shen Chi would likely be on high alert in C City, and going there would be tantamount to walking into a trap.


    Better to stay in Jin City and wait for Xiao Mo to adopt a child for her.


    At around three o’clock in the afternoon, the sky finally began to scatter down snowflakes like pieces of paper!


    Chaomu ran outside excitedly, and indeed, it was snowing!


    At first, the snowflakes were small and sporadic, but it didn’t take long for swathes of snowflakes to come twirling down from the sky.
