If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 451 - : Pull up the Video of That Day

Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Pull up the Video of That Day

Fenfen lived up to being her good friend, as she had also written down specific dates, categories, and viewing methods for the video footage on a slip of paper inside the cloth bag.

Right when Xu Chaomu was about to use the computer to view the videos according to the instructions, Fenfen happened to call.

“Chaomu, did you get the package? I saw it was signed for,” Fenfen said with a laugh.

“Just got it, your call is really timely.”

“Chaomu, tell me, what do you need these surveillance videos for?”

“Oh… nothing much, just that, about three months ago, I lost a very expensive bag in this hotel, which had valuable jewelry and design drawings inside.”

“Why didn’t you call the police at the time?”

“I had an emergency at the time, so I let it be.”

“Now that you’re back in the country, you remembered it?”

“There’s a design drawing I need to use, so yes, I remembered it.”

Xu Chaomu was sweating bullets, she really was not cut out for lying. This lie sounded totally fake no matter how one heard it.

Fortunately, Fenfen didn’t think too much of it or ask any further, instead, she just shared her troubles with her.

“Chaomu, let me tell you, I’ve talked my mouth off trying to get this surveillance footage for you. Although my senior is working at the hotel, he just wouldn’t relent, saying it was about guests’ privacy.”

Xu Chaomu could understand; such things certainly couldn’t be given away.

“Then what? Fenfen, you didn’t offer yourself in exchange, did you?”

“What are you thinking? Is there anything in this world I, Fenfen, can’t get?”

“Yes. For example, entrance tickets and chess manuals, you don’t have those.”

“Screw off, speaking of which, when are you going to send me the autographed photo?”

“Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will definitely mail it to you tomorrow. Thank you for your big gift bag.”

“Why thank me, hurry up and sort out the entrance tickets and the chess manuals for me! Do you hear me?!” Fenfen threatened Xu Chaomu.

“Okay, okay, yes, Miss Fenfen.”

“That’s more like it.”

“Fenfen…” Xu Chaomu blinked her eyes and lowered her voice, “Is there only one copy of this surveillance video?”

“Of course, now that you have it, the hotel doesn’t have it anymore. It’s a good thing it’s from three months ago, they don’t need it now and were planning to destroy it soon. Their video is very high-definition, and, it has audio.”

“Your senior is really slick,” Xu Chaomu praised.

“He’s the hotel manager, his dad is one of the hotel’s top executives, you tell me, is he slick?”

“Slick,” Xu Chaomu praised again, then asked, “So that video… have you watched it?”

“Why would I watch such a tedious and boring video? Take your time and don’t fall asleep.”

Fenfen on the other end yawned first, “I’m going to catch some more sleep, bye.”

“Sleep well, peacefully wait for the signed photo, I promise it will dazzle your titanium-alloy eyes.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chaomu took another look at her text messages; still, no activity whatsoever.

She couldn’t believe Shen Chi hadn’t checked his phone after all this time.

Really, she shouldn’t have sent that message; it just made it seem like she was anxiously hoping for his reply.

Although, at that time, she really did miss him.

She put the phone down, turned on the computer, and brought up the video.

Xu Chaomu drew the bedroom curtains and started watching.

Just as expected, the video was lengthy and dull; people just kept coming and going, and that was it.

She fast-forwarded until suddenly, she saw the part where she, drunk, was helped into the room.

That day, her only memory was being fed too much wine, and in the end, she couldn’t even remember who had helped her into her room.

From the video, it looked like her coworker was helping her in.

After they came in, they closed the door behind them.

She wanted to access the video inside the room, thinking there wouldn’t be such private footage, but to her surprise, after searching, there was indeed!

Fenfen’s senior was really slick! ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Xu Chaomu stared unblinkingly at the computer screen.

After being helped into the room by her female coworker, they changed her clothes for her and then tucked her in bed.

During this time, she was babbling nonsense.

Xu Chaomu turned the volume up to the maximum, never expecting that, when she was drunkenly inebriated, she would be calling out Shen Chi’s name!

At that time, she had been away from him for a full five years. She hadn’t expected that, once drunk, the person etched deepest into her mind was still him.

“Shen Chi… Shen Chi… you liar, bastard… Shen Chi… why did you deceive me for eight years… why…”

Her coworkers looked at each other in bewilderment: “Who is Xu Chaomu calling for?”

“I don’t know.”

“This girl really drank a lot today.”

“Yeah, she wants to be regularized, she had no choice but to drink with the partners.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that the vice president of the partners seemed to have taken a liking to Chaomu, he kept praising her.”

“Oh? Then what?”

“Don’t know, but you all understand. If our manager lands this project, the commission will be in the seven figures.”

“So… will our manager…” They glanced at Xu Chaomu as they said this.

“Who knows what means he might use, let’s hurry and leave.”

“So we’re just going to leave Chaomu here by herself?”

“What else can we do? If those people really have any bad intentions, we can’t stop them.”

“That’s true, let’s go, let’s go, let’s not invite trouble for ourselves.”

The group turned off the lights of the room and left the scene.

The room that was bustling just moments ago suddenly fell into silence and darkness.

In the room, only Xu Chaomu lay on the bed, crying in pain.

“Shen Chi… you’re a bastard… you’re so heartless…”

Xu Chaomu cried in agony, nearly suffocating several times. She cried and threw things around and, after a long while, fell asleep in a daze.

Watching the surveillance, Xu Chaomu rested her forehead in her hand. Indeed, alcohol was something not to be trifled with.

She hadn’t expected to be like this when drunk, calling Shen Chi’s name.

In those five years in Paris, she had very rarely mentioned him.

But unexpectedly, once drunk, it was his name she called out.

The room was plunged into darkness, but luckily there was a moon that night. The shallow moonlight streaming through the window allowed Xu Chaomu to make out the video clearly.

In the video, she clutched the blanket and fell deeply asleep; for over half an hour, there was no movement.

Watching this part, Xu Chaomu dared not fast-forward, fearing she would miss a detail.

For that half hour, nothing unusual, no one entered the room.

She didn’t sleep very deeply, occasionally turning over and muttering in her sleep.

Later, she couldn’t make out what she was saying anymore.

When nearly an hour had passed, suddenly, the door of her room opened.

Xu Chaomu’s heart clenched, she held her breath and watched the video intently.

The room was dark, but there was moonlight. By the weak light of the moon that filtered in, she clearly saw the face of the person who came in!

Shen Chi, it was Shen Chi!

Xu Chaomu’s heart nearly leapt to her throat. It really was him…
