After Xu Chaomu swallowed the medication, she had no appetite for breakfast, so Shen Chi tucked some snacks into her bag.

“I’ll take you to school,” Shen Chi took her hand.

“Are you not busy today? If you’re busy, let the driver take me,” Xu Chaomu said.

Shen Chi lifted his eyes and headed straight outside, “I’m not busy.”

It wasn’t until Shen Chi drove the Maybach away from the Shen Family that Liu Rumei climbed up the stairs to the west building and sat on the roof.

On the rooftop, the sunlight was just right, the clouds were light and airy, and the breeze was gentle.

Shen Shihan was leisurely looking at the newspaper and drinking coffee all by himself, in complete comfort. The sunlight shone on his face, on his dark shirt, making him look even more stern and steady.

He leaned back in his chair, his slender fingers flipping through the newspaper, making a rustling sound.

“Aren’t you going to the Group?” Liu Rumei spoke indifferently, sitting across from him.

“I’d be looking at the newspaper there as well, might as well read it at home.

The weather is nice today, sunny and breezy.”

“Shen Chi will be off to A City the day after tomorrow,” Liu Rumei glanced at Shen Shihan.

Shen Shihan always acted as if nothing involved him, as if everything was unrelated to him. No matter how anxious Liu Rumei was, Shen Shihan remained calm.

Sometimes Liu Rumei thought that her son was not as good as her daughter. At least Shen Yanrou had quite a bit of prestige in Shen Group, and everyone below feared her, Shen Yanrou.

Shen Yanrou had tactics and ability, but unfortunately, the Shen Group still ended up in Shen Chi’s hands.

“I know,” Shen Shihan said without lifting his head.

“So you plan on reading newspapers here for a few days?” Liu Rumei’s tone was quite dissatisfied.

“As the vice president of Shen Group, how could I not go to A City? Don’t you think?” Shen Shihan picked up his coffee and took a sip.

“I definitely trust you; you have your own plans. I came today to talk to you about another matter,” Liu Rumei said.

“What is it?”

“I heard that the day after tomorrow, Bai Man is also going.”

“That’s normal, Bai Man is the fiancée of my fourth brother. This time, if she goes, it could be a good opportunity.”

“If she goes, the position of Shen Family’s daughter-in-law will be solidified once she attends the press conference.” Liu Rumei sighed, not sure if her son truly did not understand or was just pretending not to.

“I’ve heard Bai Man and my fourth brother have known each other for many years, passionately in love. Getting married is only a matter of time.”

“I won’t talk to you anymore, it’s like playing the lute to a cow, I’d better go talk to your second sister,” Liu Rumei got angry.

She stood up and left the rooftop.

As for Shen Shihan, he showed no particular expression, just a slight movement at the corners of his lips.

After he finished his cup of coffee, he stood up. Looking up, the sunlight was just right, but somewhat scorching.

Since it was spring, the Shen Family’s villa looked even more beautiful, especially the garden, full of vibrant colors and life. There were many kinds of flowers in the garden, with servants weeding and pruning.

He casually picked up a black coat, came down from upstairs, took his car from the garage, and left the Shen Family’s estate.

The day after tomorrow, Shen Chi was scheduled to go to A City. Still, he was not so keen on letting him go. Since that was the case, he needed to make a trip to the bank first.

The Ferrari sped along the highway, his destination was not in C City and would take two hours to reach.

Along the way, the air was fresh, the scenery pleasant, and Shen Shihan’s mind rapidly processed his recent thoughts.

Just as he was about to turn a corner, suddenly, not far away, a truck abruptly changed lanes and, overloaded as it was, wobbled and struck a van next to it!

With a loud “bang,” the truck crashed onto the van, and the cargo tumbled out! The entire van was instantly deformed, dust and debris scattered all over!

Shen Shihan quickly turned the steering wheel, stopping his car on the side of the road.

The dust kicked up choked him; he grabbed his phone and dialed emergency services m a rush!

Saving people was urgent!

He jumped out of his car and rushed to the scene of the accident!

The truck driver was trapped inside, high up and unable to climb out, but was largely unharmed. The van, however, suffered extreme damage, its front completely crushed.

Shen Shihan took out a safety hammer and tapped on the van’s window glass, being careful to prevent shards from flying into the interior.

Looking through the window, he saw two people inside, a driver and a young girl in the passenger seat.

Both were unconscious, the girl especially so, severely injured, with blood already flowing from her head.

The road was not busy with traffic, and there were no cars passing by at the moment. Shen Shihan had no choice but to carefully break the window, hoping to rescue the individuals inside.

“Hang in there, the ambulance will be here soon!” Shen Shihan shouted into the window.

The van’s driver seemed to hear his voice and faintly opened his eyes, only to pass out again after a short while.

The girl in the passenger seat remained motionless, and Shen Shihan did not even know if she was still alive.

Finally, he brushed away the glass shards by hand, cautiously working the door open bit by bit. He dared not force it, afraid that any sudden movement could make the van collapse, bringing the heavy cargo down on them all at once.

He could only gradually open the door, trying to let fresh air into the vehicle.

When he finally managed to open the door, his hands were slashed by the glass and covered in blood.

He cleared off the heavy items sitting atop the van, hoping to save time for the emergency crew when the ambulance arrived.

Before long, the ambulance arrived with its lights flashing quickly followed by the police cars!

Shen Shihan was drenched in sweat; he collapsed to the side, allowing the medical staff to take the driver and the girl away.

The sunlight was somewhat dazzling, the crimson blood and dust-covered rubble swirled in his vision. He could hardly imagine that he still harbored compassion in his heart.S?@rch пewпo?el .?rg on g?ogl?

Soon, the driver and the girl were loaded into the ambulance, and Shen Shihan glanced at it—C City’s First Hospital.

“Sir, as a witness to the scene, could you come with us to make a statement?” a police officer approached Shen Shihan.

Shen Shihan was originally heading to a town on the outskirts of C City, but upon hearing the officer’s request, he nodded.

Later, he thought, sometimes fate is so strange; if he had refused to leave by car then, would the trajectory of his life have been completely different?

The police took photos at the scene and collected evidence, taking the truck driver back to the station as well.

Shen Shihan drove his car following them. At the police station, he cooperated with the statement, which didn’t take much time.

“Mr. Shen, we’re very grateful for your cooperation, and we will keep your information confidential.” The police officer knew Shen Shihan had acted bravely and treated him with great respect, even seeing him out when he left.

Shen Shihan did not say much, putting on his sunglasses and leaving the police station.

He felt an odd sensation in his heart, a cold smile spreading across his lips. Wasn’t he, Shen Shihan, supposed to be heartless?

The Ferrari circled the police station and, when passing by C City’s First Hospital, for some reason, he stopped the car..
