Chapter 954: Chapter 954: The Video is in the Car
Xiao Mo walked up to Xu Chaomu and smiled, “You left your coat behind. I was just planning to head back and passed by here, so I brought it to you.”
In Xiao Mo’s hands was a white woolen coat, and after he finished speaking, he handed the coat to the young servant.
Xu Chaomu smiled, “So it’s about that, thanks, Secretary Xiao.”
Xiao Mo shook his head, slightly helpless, “You’re calling me ‘Secretary Xiao’ again.”
“Forgot, forgot again, Xiao Mo,” Xu Chaomu apologized.
Xiao Mo glanced at the living room, which had several bunches of freshly picked wintersweet flowers, their fragrance rich and soothing.
Xu Chaomu gave Xiao Mo a look, and from his face, she could tell that he seemed to have something to say to her.
She then dismissed a few servants, stood still in front of Xiao Mo, and said, “Got something you want to tell me?”
Xiao Mo couldn’t help but smile, “Miss Xu is very clever.”
“Isn’t it said that secretaries are not only meticulous but also have a great memory? You just reminded me not to call you ‘Secretary Xiao,’ and now you’re calling me ‘Miss Xu.’ Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Xu Chaomu said.
Xiao Mo was taken aback; he hadn’t really thought about it.
It had to be said, Xu Chaomu was incredibly sharp-witted.
“Um… Chaomu.” Xiao Mo curved his lips, his eyes shimmering with a sparkling luster.
At that moment, there were no other people in the living room, just Xu Chaomu and Xiao Mo.
However, Xiao Mo probably always thought of Xu Chaomu as the boss’s wife. In moments like this, as long as Xu Chaomu didn’t speak, Xiao Mo seemed a tad embarrassed.
Xu Chaomu cleared her throat softly, “Have a seat, there’s no one else here.”
“No need, I’ll leave after a few words,” Xiao Mo looked into her eyes.
Xu Chaomu’s eyes were beautiful, always fluttering with innocence and loveliness whenever she blinked.
“Then speak, I’m listening,” Xu Chaomu said, looking at him earnestly.
“Chaomu, Shen Chi asked me to check on the incident at the Paris Grand Hotel on the 18th of April,” Xiao Mo said straightforwardly while looking at Xu Chaomu.
As expected, the moment he said this, Xu Chaomu’s expression changed, and her big eyes also betrayed a different emotion.
“Oh,” Xu Chaomu said faintly, she didn’t expect it to be about that, “What did you find?”
She hadn’t expected Shen Chi to have Xiao Mo check. But why?
“I didn’t find much, only that the person in charge in Paris gave me a video surveillance tape claiming it’s the entire footage from the hotel on that day.”
“Video surveillance?” Xu Chaomu looked up at Xiao Mo, puzzled.
If she remembered correctly, when Fenfen sent her the video, she had said that there was only one copy of the surveillance footage, not to lose it, because if it was lost, it would be gone.
Now, Xiao Mo was telling her that he had gotten a copy of the surveillance footage!
“Yes, I also heard from the person in charge that you were at the Paris Grand Hotel that night.”

“When did Shen Chi ask you to look into this?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“While he was attending the meeting in Los Angeles.”
“I see,” Xu Chaomu said, her expression calm, “Actually… it doesn’t really matter anymore whether you looked into it or not.”
What did it matter? Her baby was already gone.
“The video is in the car, I’ve watched it,” Xiao Mo continued.
Xu Chaomu was even more surprised, Xiao Mo’s news was indeed shocking, “What did you see?”
“That night, someone came out of the same room as Shen Chi, a woman with short hair,” Xiao Mo said.
“What woman with short hair?! Xiao Mo, could you have seen it wrong?” Xu Chaomu’s emotions were a bit agitated.
Finally, her face was no longer one of indifference and calm but showed a different kind of excitement!
In the video she obtained, that night, it was her and Shen Chi! There was no woman with short hair at all!
“I saw it very clearly, it was a woman with short hair,” Xiao Mo said calmly.
He noticed that Xu Chaomu’s complexion was off. He paused and silently watched her.
“Impossible!”
“I also think it’s impossible,” Xiao Mo said, “That night it was you and President Shen, correct?”
“How do you know?”
“I don’t know. You told this to President Shen, and he also happened to tell me; I choose to believe you,” Xiao Mo said.
“Thank you for believing in me.” Xu Chaomu suddenly felt drained and her smile had a hint of bitterness.
Xiao Mo moved his lips as if he wanted to say “Just like President Shen, I am someone who values logic and evidence, but this time, I simply believe in you.” But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
“Xiao Mo, can you give me the video?” Xu Chaomu asked with a trace of pleading in her eyes.
“I came here to give you the video, not President Shen,” Xiao Mo said calmly.
“Xiao Mo, haven’t you ever suspected that the video might have been tampered with or forged?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“Suspected,” Xiao Mo replied.
To choose to believe Xu Chaomu was the same as choosing to suspect everything that contradicted her statement.
Hearing Xiao Mo’s words, Xu Chaomu was momentarily touched. Was Xiao Mo trusting her unconditionally?
“If you give me the video, do you plan to not investigate further?” Xu Chaomu looked at him.
“Yes, I’ll tell President Shen that too much time has passed, and there are no leads.”
“Then keep the video,” Xu Chaomu changed her decision, “This matter, for me, is no longer necessary to pursue.”
Her baby was gone; why should she bother with these things anymore?
“Chaomu, I just feel that if the video has been altered, then the matter isn’t so simple,” Xiao Mo voiced his most pressing concern.
“There’s no need to investigate anymore.” Xu Chaomu seemed to come to a sudden realization.
Nothing matters anymore…
“Alright… I understand,” Xiao Mo nodded.
“Xiao Mo, thank you for telling me all this.”
“Actually, I should be the one saying ‘sorry,’ there are many things for which I haven’t fulfilled my responsibility.”
“Xiao Mo, let me ask you a question. If I ever need your help in the future, will you take my side or Shen Chi’s side?” Xu Chaomu inquired.
Xiao Mo looked at Xu Chaomu, his eyebrows gradually furrowing. What did she mean by asking this?
“Can’t I choose both?” he asked.
Xu Chaomu smiled; she knew she was asking too much of him.
She shrugged with an indifferent smile, “Just a random question.”
Xiao Mo nodded, “If there’s anything… just call me directly, I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
His voice carried a deep and calm timbre. Xu Chaomu raised her head to look at him, and in his dark, inscrutable eyes, she saw a different kind of emotion.
She seemed to have never seen this side of Xiao Mo before, profound as the ocean.
“Alright…” Xu Chaomu agreed.
“Then… I’ll be leaving now, there are some things I need to handle,” Xiao Mo said.
“Wait,” Xu Chaomu stopped him, “Xiao Mo, some things… really, there’s no need to investigate further.”
