Chapter 902 -902: Investigate the Incident in Paris That Night

“Xiao Mo, help me look into something,” Shen Chi finally spoke after a long while.

“Hmm?” Xiao Mo lifted his head and set down his coffee cup.

Why would Shen Chi ask him to investigate something at this time? He was about to fly to Los Angeles.

Shen Chi showed no emotion, his gaze shallow as he slowly said, “Check who’s room I entered at the Paris hotel in April.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a look of great surprise appeared on Xiao Mo’s face.

“Mr. Shen, didn’t you say you wouldn’t look into this matter?” Xiao Mo asked curiously.

Previously, Shen Chi had thought it was Jian Sisi. After Jian Sisi confessed, Shen Chi said he had no desire to investigate, as it was a rather depressing matter.

Xiao Mo understood that Shen Chi was busy with work and there was no need to add chaos to his life because of a one-night stand.

For other CEOs, such matters would be quite normal. Although Shen Chi maintained a clean reputation, he wasn’t the type to brood over such things.

It was just that Shen Chi suddenly brought it up now, and Xiao Mo was a bit surprised.

They had just been discussing the merger and acquisition, and he had to admit that Shen Chi’s thought processes jumped greatly; he was totally unprepared.

Shen Chi’s lips thinned, and after a long silence, he finally said, “I need some peace of mind.”

“Okay, but Mr. Shen, you’re flying to Los Angeles today and we still have the merger and acquisition to deal with. I’ll get on it as soon as possible, how about that?” Xiao Mo inquired.

Shen Chi was asking him to check on what happened in Paris that night, which meant he would have to send someone to Paris, but Xiao Mo feared he might not be able to give his best with his attention divided between C City, Los Angeles, and Paris.

Shen Chi considered for a moment, then nodded, “One month’s time.”

“Possible,” Xiao Mo nodded in agreement.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi acknowledged.

Xiao Mo also fell silent for a long while, then curiously asked, “Mr. Shen, didn’t you say you wouldn’t investigate that matter?”

“What if another person with ulterior motives like Jian Sisi appears? What should I do?” Shen Chi countered.

His tone was very even, his eyes fixed on the window, showing no expression on his face whatsoever.

Xiao Mo was somewhat puzzled at this point and pressed, “Then Mr. Shen, why didn’t you check the last time?”

By “the last time,” he meant when Jian Sisi was detained in the ‘black room.’

“Previously, I was upset and didn’t want to check, but now… I’m feeling uneasy,” Shen Chi stated indifferently.

Xiao Mo glanced at Shen Chi; on this man’s face, he could never detect any emotions or unease, only an unfathomable depth.

What was he thinking? Did someone say something to him?

Even though Xiao Mo had followed him for so long, in this moment, he couldn’t guess what Shen Chi was thinking.

“Mr. Shen, rest assured, I will try my best to investigate, but it might take time, and I’ll do as much as I can,” Xiao Mo dared not promise that he would definitely find out.

Investigating matters was feasible, but investigating people was quite difficult. After all, the person was alive and overseas.

Paris hotel was one of Paris’s best and biggest hotels, with countless rooms and many guests—it would be very difficult to investigate.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi responded from his throat.

“Mr. Shen, if I may ask one more question, do you have something on your mind?” Xiao Mo ventured.

Shen Chi was always cautious in his actions; such sudden thoughts would not surface overnight, but must have been considered for a long time.

“There’s something I’ve never told you,” Shen Chi said.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Mo’s curiosity intensified. He had been with Shen Chi for so long, handling many of Shen Chi’s concerns, big and small. Could there still be something major he didn’t know?

“Let me ask you a question first. Xu Chaomu’s child, who do you think it belongs to?” Shen Chi asked.

His low voice carried no emotion, neither joy nor sorrow, and his gaze was as subdued as ever.

Xiao Mo fell silent, lost in thought.

He concerned himself solely with the affairs of the group at work, and as for this matter, he had thought about it but had never delved deeper.

After all, Xu Chaomu was Shen Chi’s woman, and everything about Xu Chaomu shouldn’t be his business to inquire about.

“Tell me the truth.” Shen Chi spoke in a deep voice, discerning the difficulty on Xiao Mo’s face.

“If you really want me to say it, it would be the Crown Prince of Feili Group, right?” Xiao Mo said, struggling.

He knew that before Xu Chaomu returned to the country, she had always been with Nie Chenglang.

It was said that Nie Chenglang was Xu Chaomu’s boyfriend and had even proposed to her. Xu Chaomu’s return to the country was for their engagement.

Given this relationship, it was very likely that the child in Xu Chaomu’s belly belonged to Nie Chenglang.

And he had always thought so too.

If there was anyone to blame, it had to be President Shen himself, who, five years ago, had too many reservations and never even told Xu Chaomu “I love you,” let alone claimed her completely.

At this thought, Xiao Mo felt somewhat helpless.

“Besides him?” Shen Chi asked again.

“President Shen, I’d rather not speculate about such matters,” Xiao Mo said, finding it difficult.

He was truly struggling—making such speculations would make Xu Chaomu seem like a fickle woman.

However, that wasn’t the case in his heart.

Xu Chaomu… loved Shen Chi deeply.

“You know about the incident before the trade fair, right?” Shen Chi said.

Xiao Mo considered for a moment. Was it the incident where Shen Chi and Nie Chenglang came to blows?

“I know,” Xiao Mo said, without elaboration.

“That stranger is the vice president of Feili, and he said that the child in Xu Chaomu’s womb is his,” Shen Chi stated indifferently.

Xiao Mo frowned. What did Shen Chi mean by that?

“President Shen, didn’t I investigate it later? That man only said so because of the trade fair matter, as a form of suppression and retaliation against Shen Group, a tactic by Feili Group. You should be clear about that,” Xiao Mo said earnestly.

Shen Chi turned his head, giving Xiao Mo a glance, his gaze still as deep as water.

Xiao Mo’s eyes shifted. Had he just… gotten a bit emotional?

However, what he said was the truth.

“Xiao Mo, Nie Chenglang has confessed to me that the child in Xu Chaomu’s womb isn’t his,” Shen Chi said.

“Is that so?” Xiao Mo was even more surprised.

“Xu Chaomu told me that her child is mine,” Shen Chi said.

After finishing, he let out a light chuckle, his tone full of disbelief and nonchalance.

Xiao Mo looked up at Shen Chi. The man was smiling, but there was a clear bitterness in that smile.

“Xiao Mo, let me ask you, do you believe it?” Shen Chi asked again.

Just now, as he looked at the mist at the window, he was thinking of Xu Chaomu again, thinking of her very much…

How much did he love her? Sometimes, even he himself did not know. All he knew was that he hated that he couldn’t give her his life, all of it.

The fog outside was still thick, and the weather today wasn’t good. The sun hadn’t come out and the mist lingered in mid-air, reluctant to disperse.

Looking through the hazy window to the outside, he could only make out some blurry landscapes.

The blurry branches, the blurry lawns, everything was blurry.

The world outside was obscured, shrouded in white.

Xiao Mo too fell silent, not knowing what else to say.
