Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Another Child Added
“Secretary Xiao, why are you standing outside? Where is the Fourth Young Master? Has the Fourth Young Master gone back?” Butler Ling walked up to Xiao Mo.
She didn’t see Shen Chi’s car when she came out, it seemed he had left.
But the wind was so strong, and the weather was very cold, why was Xiao Mo just standing outside?
Xiao Mo nodded slightly, his face bearing a hint of helplessness, “President Shen went back.”

“Please come inside, I’ll pour you a cup of hot tea, it’s too cold outside,” Butler Ling said.
With Butler Ling’s invitation, Xiao Mo entered the living room of the Waterside Pavilion, coincidentally, he also had something to ask Butler Ling.
Butler Ling poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
“Secretary Xiao, have some hot tea, have you… been outside for a long time? Did you see the Fourth Young Master?”
“I did, he wasn’t in a very good mood,” said Xiao Mo.
“Yes, that’s right. The Fourth Young Master hasn’t been in a good mood recently, but he has to pretend everything is normal when he’s with his grandmother,” Butler Ling sighed inwardly.
“Butler, why didn’t you go back with him to the Shen Family?”
“Oh, speaking of that, actually, Secretary Xiao, are you busy tonight? If you have time, could you help me with something?”
Butler Ling thought about the matter Shen Chi had asked her to investigate, Xiao Mo was very capable, and with him involved, they would certainly be more effective.
“I’m free tonight,” he agreed.
“Well, let me tell you about it.”
Concerned about eavesdroppers, Butler Ling closed all the doors and windows, then spoke in a hushed voice about everything that happened on the day Xu Chaomu went into early labor.
As Xiao Mo listened, his brows furrowed. So the real reason behind Xu Chaomu’s early labor was this…
For some reason, as he listened to Butler Ling’s calm narrations, his heart stirred violently, and pangs of pain hit him wave after wave.
“Secretary Xiao, I know you’re very smart. Help me look into it, find out who has the biggest suspicion,” Butler Ling requested.
“Alright, it just so happens that I have nothing else on tonight,” Xiao Mo replied.
“That’s great then, the Fourth Young Master has already told me some details, let’s investigate further together.”
Xiao Mo nodded, not saying much.
Butler Ling took out the milk test report and told Xiao Mo that there was a substance in the milk which could induce premature labor in pregnant women.
Xiao Mo examined the report carefully, and listened as Butler Ling went over the entire situation.
“Butler, who do you suspect the most?” Xiao Mo inquired.
He believed that after all these days, even just by intuition, one would sense who was untrustworthy.
Sure enough, Butler Ling nodded and circled several names on the paper, “Look, these few are my prime suspects. This Xiaoying keeps quiet, but she was the one who prepared the milk and the cup; this Xiuxiu claimed she felt unwell that day, lying in bed all the time, yet someone saw her entering the kitchen, though she said she was just there to talk to a friend…”
Butler Ling analyzed the suspects she circled for Xiao Mo, with sound reasoning.
“In that case, Butler, have this Xiaoying bring in a pot of tea,” Xiao Mo said, pointing to the name on the paper.
“Alright,” Butler Ling didn’t understand Xiao Mo’s intent, but did as instructed.
Soon after, Xiaoying brought in a pot of tea.
Xiao Mo gathered up the items on the table, pretending to discuss some trivial matters with Butler Ling.
However, during the conversation, he watched Xiaoying out of the corner of his eye.
Butler Ling cooperated very well, maintaining a calm facade.
As for Xiao Mo, there was no need to mention how well he managed, accustomed to being a secretary, he always knew how to control his expressions and measure discretely.
Therefore, the entire process was serene, normal.
“Please take your time,” Xiaoying said, bowing her head respectfully.
“Alright, you can go now,” Butler Ling said.
“Okay,” Xiaoying replied and carried the tea tray out again.
Once she left, Butler Ling asked in a low voice, “Secretary Xiao, is there anything amiss?”
Xiao Mo shook his head, “She’s not the problem.”
“Eh?” Butler Ling was puzzled.
“The milk and the cup were prepared by her, so logically, she should be the prime suspect, but she showed no signs of psychological pressure, especially after just being questioned by Mr. Shen.”
“Could it be an act? Perhaps she has a strong psychological fortitude?”
“No, you can tell from her eyes, her face didn’t flush, and her heart didn’t race, not a single sign of lying.”
Butler Ling was baffled, but Xiao Mo said it, there must be his reasoning.
“We’ll call another one over to test later,” Xiao Mo hooked the corner of his mouth, “As for the rest, we’ll do as Mr. Shen said, have that Xiaozheng go undercover. I guess, by tomorrow noon, the culprit will be uncovered.”
Seeing Xiao Mo so confident, Butler Ling was very happy, “Secretary Xiao, I really thank you. If I were investigating this alone, it might take me days more.”
“It’s what I should do,” Xiao Mo said indifferently.
“Still, I’m very thankful; by the way, have you had dinner? If not, let’s have a simple meal at the Waterside Pavilion.”
“Thank you, Butler Ling,” Xiao Mo didn’t refuse.
For some reason, usually at night, when he wasn’t working, he would chat with a few friends or go to a bar for drinks, but tonight, he just wanted to talk to Butler Ling.
At this moment, he recalled the scene he saw through the car window in the afternoon when Shen Chi rolled down the window.
Xu Chaomu was nestled in Shen Chi’s arms. Although her face was not visible, he could feel her body trembling slightly.
Shen Chi was holding her, holding her tightly.
These scenes lingered in his mind and refused to fade away.
That night, Xiao Mo didn’t go anywhere but spent it chatting idly with Butler Ling.
Butler Ling didn’t treat Xiao Mo as an outsider and told him a lot.
It was also from Butler Ling that Xiao Mo learned much news.
“Secretary Xiao, I have been sleeping poorly recently. Every time I think of young master and his grandmother, my heart aches,” Butler Ling sighed.
“You have been very good to Miss Xu, I have seen it all,” Xiao Mo said.
“The other day, Miss Bai got engaged. I saw the news in the paper, and then I looked at the young mistress; I just feel… sigh.” Butler Ling didn’t know what else to say.
“The matter is in the past, Butler. You should take care of Miss Xu,” Xiao Mo reassured.
“I know, I know,” Butler Ling nodded, “Now, all I hope for is for young master and his grandmother to be well, and perhaps add another child in due time.”
“Hmm,” Xiao Mo responded, not saying anything further.
He lowered his head and silently took a sip of tea from his cup.
The tea was somewhat bitter, filling his throat, adding a tinge of bitterness to his heart as well.
That evening, Xiao Mo stayed to dine at the Waterside Pavilion, and Butler Ling told him many things.
It wasn’t until after ten o’clock at night that he finally drove away from the Waterside Pavilion.
As soon as he got into the car, he received a phone call.
“Secretary Xiao, I have something to report to you.”
