All the blood in his body seemed to be racing, and he desperately wanted to hold her in his arms, using his chin to rest against her forehead.

Mumu, his Chaomu, his cherished little girl for eight years, was now enduring such torment.

“Shen Chi, put the gun down! Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Zhou Peitian roared, pressing the gun against Xu Chaomu’s head.

“Fourth Brother… don’t worry about me, don’t worry about me…” Xu Chaomu screamed with all her might.

Shen Chi’s heart ached with a dull pain. How could he possibly not care about her?

She was the one he had to protect with his life.

“Scream again, and I’ll shoot!” Zhou Peitian threatened Xu Chaomu.

“Don’t touch her!” Shen Chi said in a deep voice, his brows tightly knit.

“Then put the gun down!” Zhou Peitian shouted again.

Shen Chi lowered his hand, his fingers loosening, and with a “thud,” the gun dropped from his hand to the ground.

Wary of Shen Chi playing tricks again, Zhou Peitian kept his guard up: “Kick the gun into the sea!”

Shen Chi did as he was told; she was his Achilles’ heel, he would never play with her life as a joke.

“Good, very good. Now go get the project contract.” A smug smile flashed at the corner of Zhou Peitian’s mouth.

“Fourth Brother! Don’t give them the contract! They won’t do anything to me!” Xu Chaomu yelled.

A helpless smile appeared on Shen Chi’s lips. Silly girl, how could he take her life as a joke?

“Xiaopu, go get the contract.” Shen Chi parted his lips slightly, his tone flat, but without hesitation.

“Mr. Shen… that contract…” Xiaopu was reluctant to move; the contract had been obtained with great difficulty.

“Go!” Shen Chi ordered again.

“Yes.” Xiaopu could not go against him, finally nodded, and left.

The scene was tense and charged, like a tightly drawn bowstring.

“Help, help!” Just then, suddenly, Bai Man burst out from somewhere, crying for help.

Her voice was hoarse, she screamed with all her might, and a man was clutching her arm tightly!

“Shen Chi, save me! Shen Chi!” She yelled in the direction of Shen Chi.

Soon, the man brought Bai Man over: “Boss Zhou, she tried to escape, but I caught her and brought her back.”

“Good, very good. I was just about to have Bai Man brought over too,” Zhou Peitian’s face showed even more smugness.

“Zhou Peitian, what the fuck do you want to do? Can you only use such despicable means?”

Shen Chi’s eyes were blood red, his fists clenched tightly.

“Being despicable is not a problem. As long as I can achieve my goal, what does being despicable matter?” Zhou Peitian gloated.

Bai Man’s arm was held so tightly it hurt, and she cried tearfully, “Shen Chi, save me, save me. I don’t want to die yet, I really don’t want to die.”

Zhou Peitian glanced at Bai Man and laughed loudly, “Bai Man, let’s see if your husband wants to save you.”

“No, he will definitely want me. Right, Shen Chi? Say something. Save me, save me!”

“That might not be certain. Miss Bai, haven’t you noticed another woman beside me? It seems Mr. Shen is very fond of her.”

“It won’t be, it won’t be! Shen Chi, you will save me, won’t you?” Bai Man lost her senses, she just wanted to survive.

She didn’t want to die yet!

Xu Chaomu bit her lip without saying a word.

She saw the troubled look on Shen Chi’s face and moved her lips slightly, “Fourth Brother… you don’t need to worry about me, my life isn’t worth much. Save Miss Bai… she… is carrying your child…”

Xu Chaomu finally spoke; she did not want him to be troubled.

Her heart ached with every furrow of his brow.

Despite her knowing he was annoyed by her. But she wasn’t annoyed by him, she loved him.

No sooner had Xu Chaomu spoken than an indecisive expression flashed across Shen Chi’s face.

Bai Man, fearing her lie would be exposed, immediately yelled, “Yes, Shen Chi, you can’t abandon the baby in my belly. It’s your child too, a tiny life!”

Zhou Peitian laughed loudly, “Shen Chi, your wife is pregnant, surely you must know that?”

“Impossible! Bai Man, stop talking nonsense!” Shen Chi’s face was frosty, and his voice was cold.

He had never touched Bai Man; he was very clear about that.

“Shen Chi, have you forgotten? That night, you were drunk. You ran to my room, you held me, saying ‘love me’ over and over, wanting me. I am your fiancée, of course I didn’t refuse, and we made love. It was that night that I became pregnant with this child!”

Bai Man threw caution to the wind, just wanting to survive. Even if Shen Chi would seek an explanation after tonight, that would be a future concern.

All she wanted was to live.

Xu Chaomu shook her head in agony, her head pounding.

Bai Man’s voice was like a thorn, stabbing her nerves sentence by sentence.

Scenes flashed through her mind quickly: Shen Chi hugging Bai Man, on the broad bed, their passionate love.

“Stop talking…” Xu Chaomu covered her head, her face pale, her lips trembling.

It was as if she had witnessed such a scene herself…

“Bai Man, have you fucking lost your mind?!” Shen Chi’s eyes turned blood red.

Bai Man coldly said, “Shen Chi, it’s your child. You can’t just abandon it, can you? You’re going to be a father.”

“Shut up!” Shen Chi shouted coldly.

He saw Xu Chaomu’s face twisted in pain, and his own heart ached.

At that moment, blood spilled from the corners of Xu Chaomu’s mouth; she had bitten through her lip, biting it until it bled.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiaopu ran over with a thick file in hand. freёweɓnovel.com

“Mr. Shen… the contract.” Xiaopu said with great sorrow.

As soon as Zhou Peitian saw the contract, his eyes lit up, and he almost wanted to snatch it!

But he had learned his lesson; as long as he kept Bai Man and Xu Chaomu as hostages, he wasn’t worried about not getting the contract.

He wanted to see if this man really had no heart!

Shen Chi took the contract, his gaze sharp, and he swept it over everyone present.

“Shen Chi, give me the contract! And sign this voluntary transfer document!” Zhou Peitian took out a document he had prepared earlier.

“Let Chaomu and Bai Man go, and I’ll sign everything over to you,” Shen Chi said coldly.

“Haha.” Zhou Peitian laughed, “Shen Chi, you’re trying to bargain. Releasing two people for one contract, wouldn’t I be at a great loss?”

“What do you want?”

“Choose one, and I’ll release whoever you choose. As for the remaining one… I’ll take her back and torment her well.” Zhou Peitian smiled happily, “I love seeing you in this living hell. Is it hard? Not really, is it?”

Zhou Peitian paused, “Or shall I make the choice for you? Look, if I were you, I would definitely choose my own wife. After all, it’s two lives at stake. Regarding Xu Chaomu, she has no blood ties to you, choosing her wouldn’t make much sense!”

“Fourth Brother… don’t worry about me. Miss Bai is carrying your child; he’s right, two lives at stake.” Xu Chaomu said faintly.

Bai Man also began to shout, “Shen Chi, you can’t leave me alone. Exchange me with them for the contract, you must save me!”
