Chapter 456: 456 He is a Beast

Chapter 456: Chapter 456 He is a Beast
“`

“Mr. Shen… I… I’m sorry…” Jian Sisi covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Go back!” Shen Chi shouted again.

“Yes…” Jian Sisi clenched her teeth, bent down, and picked up the silk scarf from the ground.

As she bent down, Xu Chaomu caught sight of the hickey on her neck, and Shen Chi lowered his eyelids, seemingly noticing it too.

Xu Chaomu was taken aback, he hadn’t seen the hickey in the hallway earlier!

At this moment, Xu Chaomu’s heart was almost collapsing, this woman’s tactics were worth learning indeed.

They were impeccable, without a single flaw.

He guessed that if he pushed open Jian Sisi’s room right now, he’d probably find the bedsheets to be… cough, cough, cough.

Currently, the lights in the hallway were dim, and Xu Chaomu couldn’t see clearly how she had managed to create that hickey.

Maybe… it was done with lipstick?

Anyway, it looked very realistic.

Xu Chaomu really admired her, unwillingly.

Shen Chi stared at her neck for a while, not saying anything, but Xu Chaomu saw a hint of apology on his face.

“Mr. Shen… take care and rest, I’ll be going back now,” Jian Sisi said, fastening her scarf, her face a picture of aggrievement.

“Wait.” There was suddenly a touch of indifference on Shen Chi’s face.

As soon as he spoke, Jian Sisi trembled, and Xu Chaomu could tell that she was very nervous.

She was waiting for Shen Chi to continue, not daring to look him directly in the eyes.

“Remember to take your medicine,” Shen Chi said coldly, four words cutting through the air.

Those words, like the morning bell, struck directly at Jian Sisi’s heart, causing her whole body to tremble and her lips to quiver.

Tsk tsk, Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but sigh.

This man was indeed as cold-hearted as the rumors suggested.

Having lived with him for so many years, Xu Chaomu, upon reflection, realized he had been quite polite to her.

It was just the usual punishments of not allowing her to eat and tearing up her comic books when she was being naughty.

Moreover, many times, he wanted to hit her, his hand raised but never quite able to bring it down.

After dropping those icy words, Shen Chi turned and used his key card to open the door of his hotel room, without a trace of sentimentality, harshly closing it behind him.

In the hallway, only Jian Sisi remained.

She stood in place, biting her lower lip hard, her face filled with resentment and anger.

Xu Chaomu really wanted to rush over and beat her up a few times—did she feel wronged?!

From the surveillance camera, Jian Sisi lingered in front of Shen Chi’s room for quite a while, not leaving for a long time.

Finally, after a long while, she opened the door to her own room and went inside.

The hallway became quiet all at once, except for the occasional sounds of drunken revelers causing a commotion in the distance.

Xu Chaomu quickly switched over to adjust the surveillance camera outside Jian Sisi’s room.

Although that camera could only pick up sound, it was sure to provide clues.

Xu Chaomu was curious, whose child was Jian Sisi carrying in her womb?

It was clear that Shen Chi hadn’t been intimate with her again.

Indeed, as soon as Jian Sisi entered her room, she threw a cup!

With a “clang,” Xu Chaomu herself was startled.

Then, Jian Sisi dialed a number.

“Zhuo Fan, this man is simply no good.”

Xu Chaomu cracked sunflower seeds—sure, he was a beast.

“He didn’t suspect anything, but he told me to take the morning-after pill.”

“I know, I know…” Jian Sisi said angrily.

“Anyway, it’s no loss to me, Zhuo Fan. This man is too cold-blooded, probably beyond our means to threaten.”

“Okay, Zhuo Fan, as we agreed, once we get the money, we’ll leave C City forever. I don’t want to see Shen Chi again; he’s not someone to mess with.”

“After plotting against him today, my heart is still racing—I’m scared I might end up dead at his hands.”

Xu Chaomu couldn’t hear the man’s voice; she could only fill in the gaps with her imagination.

Was Shen Chi really that frightening?

“Okay, okay, I’m counting on you, I trust you.”

Xu Chaomu was curious—who was Zhuo Fan? What were they planning?

Extortion? Quite likely.

After a while, Jian Sisi and the man seemed to really hit it off.

At first, they were cautious, but then they started to flirt and banter.

“I miss you, of course I do. I have an afternoon flight, I’ll see you soon.”

“What are you saying, that’s not serious. Don’t go to a hotel, let’s stay at your place…”

“You hurt me last time; if you do that again, I won’t talk to you anymore…”

Xu Chaomu covered her face—could they be any more vulgar?

However, Xu Chaomu listened patiently to the end, it’s a pity that after all this time watching the video, she didn’t catch a glimpse of any high-definition pornographic material.

She switched to the surveillance feed of her own room—nothing happening, presumably in deep sleep.

Fast-forwarding… fast-forwarding…

By the time the dawn’s light began to show faintly, Xu Chaomu still hadn’t seen any movement; she must be sleeping heavily.

Wondering what the room looked like, Xu Chaomu covered her face—the imagery must have been too beautiful…

Too bad Shen Chi had drawn the curtains; she couldn’t see anything now.

Xu Chaomu gave up and went back to reviewing the corridor’s footage, switching between several feeds.

In the morning, the hallway was bustling with activity, many people up early, washed up, and ready to leave the hotel with their suitcases.

She didn’t see Shen Chi leave his room, but she did see Jian Sisi going in and out several times.

Jian Sisi also thoughtfully bought breakfast, probably for Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu thought, to play the part to such an extent was indeed hard work.

She reviewed the footage again, fast-forwarding…

Then, in the crowd of people moving about, she spotted the figure of Nie Chenglang!

Nie Chenglang was talking to her colleague, “Which room is Chaomu in?”

Her colleague pointed, “That one over there.”

“Did she drink too much last night?”

“Yeah, she was pretty wasted,” her female colleague said, shaking her head helplessly.

“I see.” Nie Chenglang strode toward her room.

Halfway there, as if remembering something, he turned back.

“Mr. Nie, is there something else?” the female colleague asked with a smile.

“Your advertising agency, which company were you discussing cooperation with yesterday?” Nie Chenglang asked seriously.

“It was with Faye Jewelry Group. Their Paris branch was looking for an advertising partner.”

“Their CEO Lu Feili came personally?” Nie Chenglang asked with a cold voice.

The female colleague was startled, probably wondering how Nie Chenglang even knew who the CEO of Feili Group was.

“We’re not that influential, it was their Vice President who came.”

“I understand.” Nie Chenglang’s face paled a bit.

He walked briskly towards her room and paused as he arrived at the door.

This part, Xu Chaomu didn’t quite understand.

Why was Nie Chenglang asking this?

However, it made sense because the Vice President of the group did look lecherous, seeming to be quite a womanizer.

That night, he had continuously tried to make her sit next to him, fortunately, she found an excuse to decline.

The consequence of refusing was that she got plied with a lot of drinks.

Nie Chenglang was probably worried about her.
