If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Drawing Blood, Testing DNA

“Yeah, they can barely afford to raise a child, yet they still have money to buy flowers?” someone agreed.

“Xu Chaomu really is beautiful, once her child is born, there will definitely be lots of suitors.”

“Then she can just sleep with any director or manager, and she’d make millions in a year.”

“Oh, didn’t she say last time that she looks down on those, she only likes someone like President Shen.” someone laughed.

“She probably hasn’t even seen President Shen’s face, but it’s normal for a young girl to fantasize. I’ve fantasized about marrying President Shen too!”

“Hahaha…” Everyone burst into laughter.

As they chatted, without any malicious intent, they found it all rather amusing.

When Xu Chaomu left the hotel, it was already very late. She checked her phone and saw that it was exactly nine o’clock at night.

The road outside the hotel was bustling, with many vehicles coming and going, and pedestrians were constantly walking around.

Xu Chaomu walked to the roadside, thinking of hailing a taxi.

However, just as she walked over, there was already a taxi stopped there, with the driver smoking.

“Master, please take me to Splendid World.” Xu Chaomu approached and said.

“Get in.”

“Alright.” Xu Chaomu opened the car door, smiling as she sat down.

As soon as Chaomu got in, the driver tossed away his cigarette and started driving.

At this hour, the downtown area was still bustling, with glittering lights all around, a sight to behold.

Xu Chaomu rolled down the window, feeling a bit cold, the night wind blowing her long hair as she quietly watched the scenery outside.

Such a night was the perfect time to miss someone.

She thought of Shen Chi, missing him terribly.

She wondered what he was doing now—was he asleep? In a meeting? Out drinking? Socializing? Playing?

Without disturbing him, she stroked her belly, silently sitting in the car.

The car took a turn and headed down a road to the south.

Xu Chaomu felt something was wrong—this road didn’t seem to lead to Splendid World.

Being directionally challenged, she hadn’t asked at first, just letting the driver take his course. Perhaps he was taking a detour, which wasn’t unusual since many drivers earn extra by taking longer routes.

But as they drove on, she noticed that the road became quieter and the number of people and vehicles diminished.

Only then did she become alert and asked, “Master, which road are we taking?”

“You’ll know when we get there,” the driver replied indifferently.

Xu Chaomu felt uneasy, “Master, where are you taking me? Who are you?”

She had been slow to realize that something was wrong.

Yes, she saw a taxi right outside the hotel—wasn’t that very suspicious?

And the driver had been smoking, clearly waiting for someone.

How could she, such a fool, have suspected nothing?

It was too late now…

She grew anxious and unsettled, with the driver no longer responding to her questions.

She tapped on the car door, “Please stop the car, I want to get out.”

Still, the driver remained silent, solely focused on driving.

Chaomu promptly took out her phone from her bag, intending to call the Shen Family, but at that moment, the driving driver finally spoke.

His voice was deep and resonant, “Miss Xu, no offense intended, we’re just taking you to the hospital to draw some blood for a DNA test.”

“What do you mean?”

Xu Chaomu’s hand holding the phone dropped as she became more vigilant.

“You’ll know when we get there,” the driver said.

“Who are you?”

“You’ll know when we get there!” the driver snapped impatiently.

Blood draw? DNA test?

Does it have something to do with the child in her belly?

No, the child wasn’t born yet, drawing blood wasn’t an option, at most they could extract amniotic fluid.

She hesitated, torn between calling the Shen Family and deciding against it.

“Relax, we won’t harm you,” the driver, as if seeing through her thoughts, said calmly.

“Which hospital are you taking me to?”

“Luo Family.”

The Luo Family Medical Group? There isn’t a second Luo Family in C City.@@novelbin@@

The car wound through streets, passing traffic light after traffic light, heading toward the Luo Family’s direction.

Chaomu recognized the Luo Family hospital; Shen Chi had been hospitalized there after an injury, and Wen Zhiyuan happened to work there too.

However, if she remembered correctly, Shen Cexian was also hospitalized at the Luo Family.

When Shen Chi was hospitalized, she did not see Shen Cexian; she had deliberately avoided him.

After Shen Chi was discharged, she hadn’t seen Shen Cexian or Zhou Ran either.

Could it be Shen Cexian?

The taxi hurried through the night, rushing down one street after another.

It was very late, and the area surrounding the Luo Family was somewhat secluded, suitable for peaceful recovery.

The closer they got to the Luo Family, the faster Chaomu’s heart pounded.

Finally, the taxi stopped in front of the Luo Family’s entrance.

The hospital, in contrast to the lively street, was eerily quiet, especially at night, unsettlingly so.

The smell of disinfectant lingered everywhere, wafting in waves into her nostrils.

The streetlights were bright, with a few nurses passing by occasionally.

The hospital was quiet today, with not too many emergency patients.

Chaomu crinkled her nose, it hadn’t been many days since she had last been here.

After the car stopped and she was about to open the door, two tall and muscular men dressed in black approached the entrance.

With their stern, empty gazes, standing under the night sky, they were incredibly intimidating.

Startled, Chaomu immediately withdrew her hand and watched them intently.

One of the men pulled open the car door, blocking the rear seat’s exit.

“Come with us,” one said abruptly, his voice low and chilling, sending shivers down her spine.

In their black attire and with no one else outside, Chaomu was frightened.

They stepped aside, and only then did Chaomu nervously get out of the car.

With her hand on her stomach, she followed them fearfully.

They were expressionless, like heartless grim reapers, silent as the grave.

Suddenly, just as Chaomu reached the stairwell, one of them placed a black hood over Chaomu’s head from behind!

“Mmm, help!” Chaomu yelled.

“Don’t shout!” One of them simply heaved Chaomu over his shoulder and ascended the stairs.

The stairwell was dark, akin to a secret passage leading to a small blood-drawing room.

“Let me down, let me down,” Chaomu struggled.

Where were they taking her?

Regardless of how much she shouted, no one paid her any attention; she could even distinctly hear their footsteps.

Such silence assured her that no one was around.

The hallway was pitch-black, with visibility none, but fortunately, there were no obstacles, as they headed straight to the blood-drawing room.

“We’re here,” one of the men said in a grave tone.

As the man carrying Chaomu finally set her down, a strong hand pinned her shoulder, immobilizing her.

“Who are you?” Chaomu asked.

No one responded; even echoes reverberated in the silence.
