If You Could Hear My Heart

Although Miao Xiu had just returned to the country, with his capabilities, he could investigate everything clearly and thoroughly.

Moreover, during this period, he was helping Shen Chi investigate events from seventeen years ago, so he had some understanding of Bai Man as well.

"It's the first time I've seen such a vicious woman." Miao Xiu clapped his hands and moved a little further from Bai Man.

"Mrs. Shen! Madam!" Suddenly, Ayu's anxious voice came from behind.

Miao Xiu turned his head and saw Xu Chaomu fainting in Ayu's arms.

He hurried forward, "Take Mrs. Shen to rest."

"Okay." Ayu nodded.

"I'll go ahead and check the situation."

"If there's any bad news, keep it from her for now," Ayu instructed Miao Xiu.

"I know my limits." After speaking, Miao Xiu looked at Xu Chaomu worriedly and sighed internally.

The power of the bomb was considerable. Even as a man, he didn't dare to step forward to see.

In the distance, the sound of ambulances and police cars was still blaring continuously, the fire truck swiftly came to extinguish the fire, yet the acrid smell still wafted continuously in the air.

Faintly, he could hear voices and screams in the crowd, Miao Xiu frowned tightly.

Ayu led Xu Chaomu into a police car, directing it to the nearby hospital.

Bai Man sat silently on the ground, and soon, the police took Bai Man away as well.

"Officer Feng, how's the explosion situation up front?" Ayu asked worriedly.

The driving officer shook his head, "The situation is dire, I'm also waiting for updates from the frontline; the specifics, how many casualties, we have to wait for notification."

Ayu was about to speak when suddenly her phone rang.

She looked down and saw it was Xiao Mo.

"President Xiao."

"Ayu, what exactly happened?" Xiao Mo was still overseeing matters at the group and was on his way to the scene.

Xiao Mo's brows were furrowed tightly, his face filled with extreme worry and tension.

"You'll know when you get there." Ayu didn't say much.

She wasn't someone skilled at organizing her words; all she could do was keep calm.

"Okay." Xiao Mo didn't ask further questions.

"President Xiao, when you reach the scene, I hope you can contain all the information," Ayu said.

"I've already ordered that no media is allowed to get close."

"Good."

Hanging up the phone, Ayu glanced worriedly at Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu's face was pale, devoid of any color, Ayu recalled the terrified look in Xu Chaomu's eyes as the explosion occurred, and she couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for her.

The police car headed toward the hospital, gradually the sounds of the scene faded.

Looking up, smoke and dust were still visible in the distance.

Due to the complete information lockdown, Ayu casually checked some websites, only finding scant bits and pieces.

The reports mostly stated that there was a suspected gas explosion at a household near the amusement park.

Just as they were about to reach the hospital, Xu Chaomu woke up, trembling, clutching Ayu's arm in panic.

"Let me get off, where is this? Fourth Brother, Xiaobao…" Xu Chaomu struggled to break free from Ayu's grasp, attempting to open the car door.

Ayu hurriedly held her back, speaking calmly, "Mrs. Shen, you can't get out, the car is still moving. The scene is being handled, even if you go, it won't help."

"Let me go, let me go…" Xu Chaomu cried, her voice choked, her face full of tears.

Her fists pounded on Ayu's shoulder, but Ayu refused to let go.

"Let me see them… Ayu…" Xu Chaomu wept uncontrollably.

Even the driving officer felt a twinge of sadness; he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Ma'am, please calm down, Mr. Shen and the young master will be all right," Ayu said.

"How could they be fine, you're lying to me, you're lying to me…" Xu Chaomu cried, "Let me go see them…"

Ayu stubbornly refused to let go, unable to do anything, Xu Chaomu lowered her head and bit onto Ayu's arm.

Ayu winced in pain, but frowned, still refusing to release her grip.

"Ma'am, it's too dangerous to go now," Ayu stated bluntly.

They arrived at the hospital, and the police car came to a stop; Xu Chaomu continued to struggle, tears streaking her face, soaking her scarf.

The driving officer glanced back, regretfully saying, "Ayu, let the madam sleep for a bit, once she wakes up, she'll forget everything."

Ayu glanced at Xu Chaomu; it seemed that was the only solution now, she was finding it increasingly hard to manage Xu Chaomu.

"No, I don't want to, let me go see them, I need to be by their side, alive or dead, I must be with them; how could they leave me…" Xu Chaomu screamed hysterically at Ayu.

Ayu wasn't her; she couldn't understand her heart-wrenching pain.

Her heart was already riddled with holes, as if being stabbed over and over.

This sensation of pain rushed over her again and again like a tidal wave, all she knew was that the cold tears slid down her eyes, her hands beginning to numb.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry." Ayu had no choice but to administer a sedative to Xu Chaomu.

The drug worked quickly, and in no time, Xu Chaomu went limp in Ayu's arms.

Ayu shook her head, "Truly sorry."

The driving officer said, "I'll park the car, and then I'll send some people to help you watch over Mrs. Shen."

"Okay."

Ayu escorted Xu Chaomu to the room upstairs; outside the room, several police officers stood guard to ensure Xu Chaomu's safety.

Ayu stayed by Xu Chaomu's side without leaving, waiting for updates from the scene.

Seeing Xu Chaomu's pale face and disheveled hair, she understood this gut-wrenching feeling.

When her parents perished on a mission with criminals years ago, she felt the same despair…

No one knew how long it took; Miao Xiu called Ayu on the phone.

Ayu lowered her voice, walking to the restroom outside, "What's the situation?"

Miao Xiu said, "The scene is being cleared."

"What about Mr. Shen and the young master? How are they?"

"This…"

"Don't beat around the bush."

"Say you love me, and I'll tell you," Miao Xiu shamelessly laughed.

"Get lost!" Ayu immediately hung up with a dark face.

Honestly, what a person.

Back in school, Miao Xiu wasn't this shameless; who knew returning to the country, he'd become so thick-skinned.

Ayu glanced at major news portals and social media on her phone, indeed, the news about the Shen Group was well-censored, completely suppressed across the board.

The released news claimed a gas explosion, the residential building was on fire, and the scene was temporarily sealed off.

Nobody knew it was a premeditated murder.

Nobody knew this murder involved C City's renowned actress Bai Man back in the day and Shen Group's president Shen Chi.

Ayu felt somewhat emotional, staring blankly at her phone screen.

The light from the phone shone on her face, and she thought of her parents again.

But she wasn't a sentimental person, especially since these events had happened many years ago.

She closed the page, deciding to call Xiao Mo.

"President Xiao, where are you?"

On the other end of the call, chaotic and noisy sounds came through.
