Chapter 946: Chapter 946: Unexpectedly, She Committed Suicide
The sounds grew fainter and fainter, and slowly, there was silence.
Peace had returned to the butler’s side, with only the whooshing of the wind by her ear.
She stood in the garden for a long time, unable to regain her composure.
It was now nearly three in the morning, the sky pitch-black, as if dyed with ink; there were no stars or moon, and everything was engulfed in unbounded darkness and cold.
The butler had been considering, once dawn broke, how she should explain the matter to the fourth young master.
The outside was very cold, but the butler felt no chill as she wandered outside.
It was nearly four o’clock by the time she entered her own room.
Now, she didn’t even have a single person to discuss things with.
She lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. It was almost five o’clock when she finally dozed off slightly and closed her eyes.
No sooner had she closed her eyes than her cellphone rang. She hurriedly answered it—it was Xiao Mo.
He finally noticed the call; she really didn’t know why Xiao Mo hadn’t answered her phone during the night.
“Butler Ling, sorry, I slept so soundly I didn’t hear the phone ring,” Xiao Mo said.
The butler knew that Xiao Mo was making excuses. As a chief secretary like him, he had to be vigilant 24 hours a day, his phone always on; there wouldn’t be a situation where he couldn’t be found.
But the butler didn’t press the issue, perhaps Xiao Mo really did have something going on.
“Secretary Xiao, there’s a matter I wanted to discuss with you,” the butler said.
She glanced outside the window; it was still dark out.
“Is it about the servants?” Xiao Mo said.
“Yes,” the butler nodded, Xiao Mo was indeed sharp.
“The culprit has been found, right?”
“Correct, you’re right, let me explain in detail,” said the butler.
At that moment, she recounted everything that had happened that evening to Xiao Mo, leaving nothing out. She knew that before Shen Chi found out, the best solution was to let Xiao Mo know.
Xiao Mo had far more experience than she did, and he was clever. With Xiao Mo involved, the situation would definitely be handled better.

As expected, after hearing everything, Xiao Mo fell silent.
The butler remained quiet too, waiting for Xiao Mo to speak.
After a while, Xiao Mo said, “I’ll come over.”
“Great, great, I’ll wait for you,” the butler was overjoyed; she hadn’t expected Xiao Mo to come personally. His presence would be the most welcomed.
The butler quickly dressed and went to the living room to wait for Xiao Mo’s arrival.
Xiao Mo had been at the bar all night, never leaving. After drinking too much, his head felt heavy and groggy, his eyelids heavy as well.
After a night of drinking, he saw the call from the butler when he woke up, and it was still after two in the morning.
Upon giving it a bit of thought, he understood what it was about and immediately called the butler back.
He put on his jacket, left the bar, and drove toward Waterside Pavilion.
But he hadn’t expected that before his car could reach Waterside Pavilion, the butler called him again.
“Butler.”
“Secretary Xiao, something terrible has happened. Xiuxiu, whom I just told you about, is dead.”
“Dead?” Xiao Mo’s face showed a trace of shock.
“Yes, I went to see her and tried to drag her out for questioning. I didn’t expect that she would commit suicide.”
“Suicide…” Xiao Mo mused over these two words.
“Yes, Secretary Xiao, what should we do now? Shall we tell the fourth young master?” the butler asked anxiously.
“Wait for me to check it out,” Xiao Mo said calmly.
Xiao Mo accelerated the car, and soon, he drove into the Waterside Pavilion.
However, somebody had leaked the news to Shen Chi. Just as Xiao Mo was pulling up to the entrance of the Waterside Pavilion, Shen Chi’s car arrived too!
Shen Chi had driven himself there, and in the dim early morning light, his face was covered with a layer of frost.
Xiao Mo opened the car door for him: “President Shen.”
“I know all about it,” Shen Chi said as he got out of the car, his voice hoarse and low.
His face was still tired and somber, and in the thin mist of the early morning, Xiao Mo glanced at Shen Chi and nodded.
“Let’s go inside,” Shen Chi said.
After speaking, he strode toward the storage room of the Waterside Pavilion, with Xiao Mo following closely behind.
The butler, Ling, had been waiting outside. She was very scared, pacing back and forth with trepidation.
Seeing Shen Chi and Xiao Mo approaching together, she finally felt relieved and followed them into the storage room.
The thin mist outside scattered, drifting freely in the air with the wind, filling the space with a chilling coldness.
The sky was still faintly bright; the Waterside Pavilion was naturally quiet, free of any noisy sounds.
Time ticked by slowly, and gradually, the sun rose from the east, bringing a hint of warmth. Light shone through the thin clouds, brightening the earth, and the mist slowly dissipated.
Today’s mist wasn’t thick, and it had dissipated quickly after the sun came out.
But there was still a layer of frost on the treetops, carrying a chill.
Half an hour later, Shen Chi and Xiao Mo both came out, Shen Chi with a grave expression on his face, Xiao Mo looking similarly somber.
“Go to the living room,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
He put his hands in his coat pockets and started walking towards the living room.
Xiao Mo paused for a few seconds before stepping forward to follow.
From the back, Shen Chi’s figure carried a trace of desolation and loneliness, his back straight, but it couldn’t conceal the heaviness in his heart.
Since returning from Los Angeles, Xiao Mo had noticed that Shen Chi spoke even less than before. He was always a man of few words, but now even more so.
Xu Chaomu’s heart must be in pain, and Shen Chi’s heart probably wasn’t feeling much better.
After they arrived in the living room, Xiao Mo closed the door. The spacious living room contained only the two of them.
Shen Chi stood with a deep gaze.
“President Shen,” Xiao Mo took the initiative to speak, “What are you planning to do about this matter?”
“Do you think there is still a truth to be found?” Shen Chi asked indistinctly.
“…” Xiao Mo fell silent and did not answer.
All the leads had disappeared, and this maid named Xiuxiu had only mentioned Shen Shihan. In Xiao Mo’s mind, although Shen Shihan was ruthless, he probably wouldn’t target Xu Chaomu after five years.
This Xiuxiu making such a claim was obviously under someone’s instruction.
Shen Chi was known for his strong and uncompromising methods, his cold indifference. In the business world, he had made too many enemies with his approach. There were those who truly submitted to Shen Chi, but there were also those who secretly resented him.
Zhou Peitian is a perfect example of this from not too long ago!
Years back, Shen Chi had cornered Zhou Peitian, thinking he was dead. But Zhou Peitian was still alive, and after five years, he committed an act of lunacy.
In the current situation, with the leads gone, it was like looking for a stone cast into the sea.
“Whether it’s Shen Shihan or not, it ultimately comes down to an irreconcilable conflict between him and me,” Shen Chi said in a low voice.
“President Shen, I understand,” Xiao Mo nodded.
The events from five years ago remained a thorn in Shen Chi’s side. He was just looking for a proper and fitting opportunity to ensure that Shen Shihan could never rise again.
