Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Report Any Intelligence Immediately
Several young girls had never seen such a situation and were so frightened that their legs were shaking, almost bursting into tears.
Shen Chi stood before them, silent, his eyes sweeping across everyone’s faces!
There was surprise, astonishment, confusion, fear… all sorts of expressions, complicatedly mingled on each person’s face.
The spacious living room was silent as a grave; it seemed as if one could hear everyone’s heartbeats.
When Shen Chi stopped in front of them, they immediately felt an overwhelming aura and pressure, and none dared to look up.
Shen Chi glanced around; there were roughly fifteen people present.
“November 28th, anyone who entered the kitchen, step forward,” Shen Chi finally spoke.
Everyone was trembling, and after a while, a few people stepped out.
More women than men.
“Starting with you, tell me in complete detail, without missing a word, what you did from the time you got up in the morning until noon, and the places you went. If you dare lie, I will have you dragged out immediately,” Shen Chi pointed at the woman on the far right, warning.
“Yes, Fourth Young Master…” the woman’s voice trembled, “After I got up in the morning, as usual, I went to take care of cleaning the southeast corner of the villa. After cleaning, I joined everyone for breakfast, these… everyone was there. During breakfast, probably… probably around seven in the morning…”
She was trying hard to recall the details of that time, while Shen Chi paced around the living room, listening intently.
After one finished, another man continued, “Fourth Young Master, I am responsible for villa security. In the morning, as per my routine, I first checked for any security risks…”
One by one, they spoke, and Shen Chi sometimes closed his eyes in thought, sometimes interjecting a few words.
The butler stood by, quietly listening.
Her initial findings pointed to the milk as the problem. As she listened to these people, she was particularly sensitive to anything about the milk.
She now dearly regretted not being at the Waterside Pavilion on the 28th.
But even if she had been there, what then? Those intent on committing the crime would surely find all sorts of opportunities.
If not by poisoning the milk, they would ingeniously add harmful substances somewhere else…
What’s meant to be a blessing will be, and what’s not can’t be avoided; it seemed like someone had carefully arranged it all.
A round of questioning lasted a full hour; Shen Chi asked about everything in detail.
He had a good memory, and after these people had finished speaking, he already had a complete structural map and the flow of events in his mind.
After clarifying all the matters, Shen Chi said gravely, “You may all go down now.”
“Yes, Fourth Young Master.” Everyone responded respectfully.

The crowd finally let out a sigh of relief, and their faces showed a bit more ease. They all walked out of the living room and closed the door behind them.
After the crowd dispersed, the oppressive atmosphere in the living room lifted significantly.
Now, only the butler and Shen Chi were left in the living room.
The butler walked up to Shen Chi and whispered, “Fourth Young Master, who do you suspect? Listening to them, it seemed like there was nothing particularly suspicious.”
“After hearing their stories, the least suspicious one here is Xiaozheng, and he is quite clever. Therefore, have him closely watch everyone here, especially those who often sneak away to make phone calls. Have him report any intelligence immediately,” Shen Chi said.
“Oh, I understand!” the butler nodded, “I’ll start arranging that.”
The Fourth Young Master meant for Xiaozheng to act undercover!
“Hmm, and bring the surveillance footage for me.”
“Okay, it’s all ready, I can bring it to you now,” the butler said.
Having said that, the butler went to retrieve the stored video footage for Shen Chi.
“Fourth Young Master, it’s all here, especially the footage from those days, it’s quite comprehensive. However, since there are no cameras in the living room, you might want to ask the servants about what happened there,”
“Okay.”
Shen Chi gathered the videos and said indifferently, “Handle the next steps. I’m heading back to the Shen Family now.”
“I won’t let you down,” Butler Ling nodded.
Shen Chi took the items and strode toward the living room’s entrance.
He opened the grand doors to the living room. Outside, it was already dark; the black of night hung low, and the only sounds were the howling north wind and the trembling branches.
The entire Waterside Pavilion was engulfed in silence, free from any noise.
A servant saw Shen Chi coming out and quickly bowed, “Fourth Young Master.”
Shen Chi walked down the steps and headed straight for the entrance. His expression remained somber, like the sky before a storm in June, suppressed and unexpressed.
The dark night further accentuated his cold and stern demeanor.
But as he reached the entrance, he saw a tall, upright and particularly lonely figure.
It was none other than Xiao Mo.
Shen Chi halted in his steps, and at that moment, Xiao Mo also saw Shen Chi.
Xiao Mo wasn’t dressed formally that evening, but in a black sweater instead. He stood under the veil of night, his face somewhat dim and lusterless.
“Mr. Shen,” Xiao Mo walked briskly towards Shen Chi.
“Why are you here? I have other matters to attend to,” Shen Chi glanced at him icily and continued towards his car.
Xiao Mo stepped forward, blocking Shen Chi’s path.
“Mr. Shen, I didn’t come for business,” Xiao Mo stated outright.
“Sorry, I have no time tonight to discuss anything with you, whether it’s business or personal!” Shen Chi rejected him flatly, his expression cold.
“Mr. Shen, I can understand your feelings. As your secretary, I’ve watched you and Miss Xu come this far together. I’m also deeply saddened by Miss Xu’s incident,” Xiao Mo said.
He suppressed the impulse in the depths of his heart; this time, he kept his emotions official and formal.
As the Chief Secretary of the Shen Group, saying such things came naturally to him.
He could only care about all that he wished to from a detached status.
“It’s none of your business,” said Shen Chi.
After that, Shen Chi calmly got into his car, his face as cold and unfeeling as ever, not a trace of emotion showing.
With a “bang,” Shen Chi closed the car door. He didn’t need anyone’s sympathy or pity right now.
“Drive,” Shen Chi ordered Lao Cheng in a deep voice.
“Yes, Mr. Shen,” Lao Cheng obeyed the command and drove the car out of the Waterside Pavilion immediately.
The car brushed past Xiao Mo without stopping and drove off.
Xiao Mo still stood in place, shaking his head, watching Shen Chi’s car drive away.
Shen Chi didn’t want him meddling in this matter, but Xiao Mo had a weight on his heart, like a stone that occasionally struck him squarely in the chest, intense and painful.
The north wind was cold, howling as it blew over him, cutting against his face like a knife.
Xiao Mo thus stood in the north wind, having been in the same spot for an hour now, until that moment.
When Butler Ling came out and saw Xiao Mo, he was a bit surprised and hurriedly ran over.
