If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Send Her to the Mental Hospital
 

Shen Chi remained silent, and Jian Sisi continued, “We just thought of this move…”

As soon as she finished speaking, her heart was inexplicably uneasy. Doing these things was like plucking hairs from a tiger’s head—a sheer act of recklessness.

But once a person is tempted, they can’t extricate themselves.

With interests and money hanging before her eyes, she kept chasing after them, using every means at her disposal.

Shen Chi’s face remained grim, and Xiao Mo asked, “Is there anything else?”

Jian Sisi shook her head, “There’s nothing else, I’m telling the truth, I didn’t lie. President Shen, Secretary Xiao, although I did tell a lot of lies before, this time, I’m not lying!”

Xiao Mo’s face was cold, “Jian Sisi, just for the fact that you drugged President Shen, I could throw you out to feed the dogs!”

“No, please, don’t. I’m telling the truth. President Shen, I didn’t intend to deceive you, and I’m only telling you the truth now because you just said that as long as I tell the truth, you will spare me once.”

Jian Sisi tried to crawl closer to Shen Chi, but Xiao Mo resolutely blocked her way, not allowing her to get anywhere near Shen Chi.

“President Shen, I won’t cause you any trouble, I will leave C City, and I won’t tell anyone I know you. Really, you can believe me.”

“You won’t tell anyone?” Shen Chi sneered coldly.

“Yes, I swear, I will forget everything that happened in C City.”

“Jian Sisi, do you know what kind of person never speaks out of turn?” Shen Chi looked at her with cold eyes.

Jian Sisi shivered, terrified and trembling.

“No, President Shen, please spare me this once, give me a way to live, please…”

Jian Sisi cried, her wails piercing in the silence of the night, chilling to the bone.

“President Shen, please pity me, Zhuo Fan is dead, and I’ve lost my child. It was just a moment of madness, I swear, I will rectify my ways, be a good person, and never deceive anyone again.”

“President Shen, please let me off… for the four years I’ve been by your side, spare me this time.”

Shen Chi still didn’t speak, and Jian Sisi then grabbed onto Xiao Mo’s leg.

“Secretary Xiao, we’ve been colleagues for four years, could you please plead for me, just this once? I know President Shen isn’t that heartless, Secretary Xiao, you can understand my predicament, can’t you…”

Xiao Mo was impassive, he pushed Jian Sisi away, expressionless, “I’m sorry, I can’t sympathize with you.”

It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, Jian Sisi felt chilled from head to toe.

She slumped onto the frigid ground, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

This cold, this despair, seeped into her bones from her body, slowly turning into pain…

No one was willing to help her; indeed, as the saying goes, you reap what you sow.

When she stopped talking, the room once again fell into silence.

A wind had picked up outside, blowing the bamboo leaves by the house and making a “swoosh” sound that startled a few birds and crows resting on the bamboos.

The crows cawed a few times and, with the wind, flew away.

Shen Chi walked up to Jian Sisi, looming over her.

His icy gaze fell upon Jian Sisi, who was so scared that she kept scooting back, as if she were being slowly executed.

“Shen… President Shen…”

She retreated, and he closed in step by step. Until he cornered Jian Sisi with no way out!

“Shen… President Shen…” Jian Sisi was shivering. She had never before seen such a terrifying look in Shen Chi’s eyes.

“If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price,” Shen Chi said.

Jian Sisi curled up in the corner, “President Shen… please let me off… I was really just blinded by error… I didn’t do it on purpose… and I was instructed by Zhuo Fan… I never thought of plotting against you… really…”

She held her trembling shoulders as tears fell once more.

But Shen Chi had no pity for tears, especially Jian Sisi’s.

Xiao Mo sneered coldly; this woman really was heartless.

Zhuo Fan was dead, and now she started using him as a shield. Wasn’t she afraid that Zhuo Fan might climb out from underground at midnight?

“Since I’ve promised you, I will leave you your life,” Shen Chi said.

In Jian Sisi’s eyes, hope flickered. She looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The dim light elongated Shen Chi’s shadow. The man, even his shadow, was cold and chilling.

She couldn’t help trembling, shaking violently, not knowing what Shen Chi would say next.

“President Shen…” she looked at him.

“Xiao Mo.”

“President Shen, I’m here,” Xiao Mo stepped forward, coming to Shen Chi’s side.

“Cut off her tongue and throw her in the mental hospital!”

Shen Chi’s handsome face was full of chilling indifference. In the light, his features were sharp and shadowy, with a cold curve at the corner of his mouth, exuding an air of somber and untamed coldness.

After speaking, he casually glanced at Jian Sisi, who was slumped in the corner, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Turning, he left the room without looking back, his steps steady and firm!

Jian Sisi was evidently stunned, only after Shen Chi left did she scream hysterically!

“President Shen, don’t leave, you can’t do this to me! I’ve worked under you for four years, I was sincere, please forgive me… President Shen, President Shen…”

Jian Sisi stumbled to her feet, trying to chase after him!

Xiao Mo, tall and formidable, blocked her path, extending his arm to stop her, and once again, he cornered her.

“Jian Sisi, do you also remember that you worked under President Shen for four years?”

“Secretary Xiao, I… I was just bewitched for a moment. Could you please plead for me, just this once… please… I’m begging you…” Jian Sisi clutched at Xiao Mo’s clothes.

Xiao Mo’s clothes quickly wrinkled under her grasp, and her tears fell upon them too.

“Jian Sisi, this is already President Shen’s leniency,” Xiao Mo said.

“No, you might as well kill me, I’d rather die than go to a mental hospital!”

“Then die!”

Xiao Mo uttered these four cold words, glared at her once, and also walked out of the room.

“President Shen! Secretary Xiao!” Jian Sisi attempted to lunge forward.

But Xiao Mo, quick and agile, swiftly closed the door to the room, locking Jian Sisi inside.

Shen Chi was already outside, someone watching over the door.

Xiao Mo said to them, “Keep a close watch, report back to me immediately if anything happens.”

“Yes, we understand.”

“Hmm.”

Xiao Mo also quickly left, pursuing the departing Shen Chi.

Outside it was very dark, with barely a light hanging outside.

This place was already quite remote, devoid of people, lifeless. Surrounded on three sides by bamboo, one could hear only the “swoosh” of the wind.

Now, the wind blew, bringing with it a slight chill.

Shen Chi was already standing outside, his tall silhouette in the moonlight, his back ramrod straight, emanating an aura of coldness.
