If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1313: A Violent Explosion

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: A Violent Explosion

He thought again of the sunset in the evening, when he stood alone on the balcony recalling the past.

In his youth, there were disputes, but there was also joy.

Moreover, in the past, Shen Shihan was truly good to Xu Chaomu; to the point where, if Xu Chaomu was scolded too many times, he would stop talking to him and turn to Shen Shihan instead.

Every time Xu Chaomu felt aggrieved with him, he would seek comfort from Shen Shihan.

Actually, back then, Shen Shihan was like a tree in Xu Chaomu’s heart, one that could shelter him from wind and rain.

He knew that although Xu Chaomu liked him, he definitely saw Shen Shihan as a brother.

The incident six years ago had completely wounded Xu Chaomu’s heart, and since then, that tree had fallen.

If the family could get along harmoniously, he would be willing to give Shen Shihan a chance. Unfortunately, just as he said, the possibility was slim; Shen Shihan was already stuck in a difficult position.

Even if Shen Shihan decided to give up now, the boss of the Mafia Forces wouldn’t let him go; after so much investment in goods and manpower, giving up now would be a joke.

"President Shen, look, they seem to be preparing to leave!" Xiao Mo pointed at the video feed.

Shen Chi glanced, and indeed, Shen Shihan and a few others seemed to be talking while preparing to move away from the dock.

"It seems they plan not to wait anymore!" Shen Chi said indifferently.

But, just at that moment, Xiaoteng suddenly said, "President Shen, Vice President Xiao, if we don’t act now, there won’t be another chance. They are leaving!"

"Everyone, retreat," Shen Chi commanded calmly.

"What?!" The other party was shocked, "Just leave without achieving anything?"

Shen Chi didn’t respond; leaving without results was still better than a death sentence!

Just then, as Shen Shihan left the dock, he casually threw his cigarette butt onto a truck!

A loud "bang" was heard, and the truck exploded instantly, flames shot into the sky, illuminating half of the sky in an instant!

"Be careful! Retreat!" Shen Chi shouted.

"Received!" Xiaoteng and the others finally reacted, quickly moving away from the dock.

The video feed broke, and the final screen froze amid the blazing red flames.

Although Shen Chi and Xiao Mo were far from the scene, they also felt the fierce explosion!

"President Shen..." Xiao Mo took a while to recover, "So there were explosives in the truck."

"Hmm." Shen Chi’s eyes were fierce, his demeanor cold, his face growing extremely grim.

"That’s ruthless." Xiao Mo shook his head.

So that was it; the truck was loaded with explosives. If they had gone over tonight, all of them would have died.

Fortunately, they hadn’t gone, and that had perhaps saved them.

In terms of ruthlessness, truly no one could match Shen Shihan.

"Give them a call and ask," Shen Chi said.

"Okay."

Xiao Mo immediately dialed Xiaoteng’s number; it was clear that he had just managed to calm down, breathing heavily, and said urgently, "Vice President Xiao, we’re fine, all of us are fine, we’re on our way back."

"What about those people?"

"They’ve all gone."

"How is the scene?"

"The explosion is over, there’s a smell of gunpowder everywhere, no one at the dock right now. I took down their license numbers, I’ll send them to you shortly."

"Good, you guys head back. Let’s pretend tonight’s incident never happened."

"Yes, yes, Vice President Xiao, you and President Shen had the foresight, indeed, the truck wasn’t carrying goods." The other side was still in shock.

"Hmm, head back," Xiao Mo didn’t say much else.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Mo sighed again.

"Let’s go." Shen Chi said indifferently.

Xiao Mo nodded, then turned the car around and drove away from the area.

Thankfully, they didn’t show up tonight; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xiao Mo shook his head, his eyes filled with immense helplessness. One moment, Shen Chi was thinking about leaving a way out for Shen Shihan, and the next, Shen Shihan had shattered Shen Chi’s merciful intentions with his actions.

"President Shen, Vice-President Shen’s heart is too ruthless," Xiao Mo sighed again.

"To achieve great things, one must be ruthless, but unfortunately, he has lost his heart," Shen Chi said calmly, silently looking ahead.

Xiao Mo felt that Shen Chi was right.

A heartless person is only more ruthless, not the most ruthless.

Soon, the car returned to the mansion, safe and sound, all was tranquil.

"President Shen, what do you think they will do next?" Xiao Mo asked.

"They will definitely make a move these next two days. Shen Shihan is too cautious; it’s clear that tonight has relieved him of his concerns."

"Could what happened tonight happen again?"

"No, using explosives like that isn’t something you can do every day."

Xiao Mo understood and escorted Shen Chi back to his room, then he went alone to organize some documents.

After returning, Shen Chi’s heart was surging with countless emotions; the human heart is indeed a very peculiar thing.

The night was deep and tranquil, dark clouds gradually cleared from the sky after 1am, the moon leaped out from the clouds, and a faint moonlight shone on the ground, enveloping everything in a gentle halo of light.

Shen Chi silently stood on the balcony, frowning in thought.

...

After receiving that phone call from Shen Chi, Xu Chaomu was not at ease, but afraid of disturbing him, he decided to send him a text message in the evening.

"President Shen, what are you up to?"

Shen Chi had only slept for a few hours that night, and was browsing his phone when Xu Chaomu’s name popped up.

He promptly made a phone call back: "Hello, Mumu."

"Did you see it? What are you doing?"

"Negotiating business."

"Still not settled? This client is really tough. I feel like you’ve been dealing with this for a long time, I’ve never seen you fail like this before."

"Yes, I’ve never failed like this before," Shen Chi said indifferently.

The issue with Shen Shihan had dragged on for almost seven years, still unresolved.

But he knew that this time, there must be a conclusion.

"I didn’t mean to tease you, don’t mind me," Xu Chaomu felt he sounded a bit down, thinking she might have said something wrong.

"Do you think I’m that petty? What you said is true, I’ve never failed like this."

"No, no, you are the best in my eyes, don’t worry, you’ll definitely secure this deal, don’t rush."

"Do you really think I’m the best in your eyes?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, of course, always the best, the most powerful, the person I admire the most," Xu Chaomu said dreamily.

"Where am I powerful?" Shen Chi smiled meaningfully.

"..." Xu Chaomu knew, once they start, it would just keep going.

"Silence implies insincerity," Shen Chi teased her on purpose.

Sometimes, teasing Xu Chaomu was also a happy thing; although she used to be too sharp, now she had learned to retract her claws around him.

"Powerful in every aspect, President Shen," Xu Chaomu also pretended to be shy to tease him.
