Chapter 441: 441, what do you want to know through me?
Si Chen’s eyes widened in alarm, quickly turning his gaze to him, “You…”
A hint of a subtle yet complex smile emerged at the corner of Shi Mu’s lips. His handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and the long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face, tinting it with melancholy.
The flow of air seemed to slow suddenly.
Si Chen dropped his gaze and softly said to Shi Mu, “So, you never really trusted me. You thought I hadn’t given up yet.”
Shi Mu smirked, “When have you ever done something that made me trust you? Or rather, you’ve never moved forward, staying in the same place. So, what talk is there about not giving up? That’s why you dared not tell anyone about our relationship. You’re not afraid of the people’s judging eyes, but you’re afraid of Shi Yuhuan’s gaze. You thought he didn’t know anything, but he knew about our relationship long ago.”
A wave of intense pain swept over him after he finished speaking, his chest hurting unbearably.
Si Chen seemed to be gasping for air, like a drowning man about to suffocate, staring at Shi Mu with a bleak look.
Sitting in the shadow, Song Qinghuan’s face gradually showed a surprise, she opened her mouth as if to speak, but seemed to have misspoken and fell silent.
It turns out, Si Chen was in love with Shi Yuhuan, and Shi Mu liked Si Chen yet seemed to be with Si Chen too.
So, Si Chen’s anger towards Shi Yuhuan was born out of love.
Suddenly, it started raining outside, silver-purple lightning cutting through the inky-black sky from time to time, followed by rolling thunder and torrential rain.
Shi Yuhuan’s expression remained unchanged, cold and icy: “I remember warning you not to do what you shouldn’t do. My silence does not mean that I am unaware of everything. Shi Mu, I know everything about you and it’s only for the face of our grandfather that I’ve tolerated it.”
An icy glare locked onto him, Shi Mu coldly voiced, “Now what? Are you going to kill me?”
“You only need to tell me where the four fingers are, and I’ll let you go.” Shi Yuhuan’s tone didn’t waver, his lips thin and sharp like a blade.
Shi Mu furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes sharp, “What do you want to know from me?”
“What is Four Fingers? Who is Four Fingers?” Si Chen asked unconsciously, glancing at Shi Mu.
Getting no reply from Shi Mu, she then turned her gaze to Shi Yuhuan.
When their eyes met, Shi Yuhuan’s eyes showed a faint frown of annoyance.
The deep, icy disdain brutally splashed a bucket of cold water on Si Chen.
She only felt her heart choke in that moment, as if it was going to stop beating forever.
Shi Yuhuan’s icy gaze slid over her, his eyes narrowing menacingly as he looked at Shi Mu, “If you don’t know about the Four Fingers, you should know about Yan Pingdan!”
He switched to a different person to question Shi Mu.
The mention of this name significantly changed Shi Mu’s complexion, a trace of suffocating paleness crossing his face.
His eyes widened in shock, complicatedly looking at Shi Yuhuan, seemingly asking him how he knew!
He moved his lips but didn’t say anything, only frantically shaking his chains.
The crisp sound in the empty warehouse was extraordinarily noisy.
Si Chen’s gaze trembled violently, she fixedly stared at him, “Amu, are you hiding something from me?”
