If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 685: Better Die Gracefully

Chapter 685 -685: Better Die Gracefully

“Listen to this crap!” Zhou Peitian no longer had any patience, “Are you trying to play some kind of trick?”

Shen Chi sneered, “With Chaomu in your hands, would I dare to make any rash moves?”

“Impossible!” Zhou Peitian rejected Shen Chi and hung up the phone.

While on the phone with Zhou Peitian, he had been driving up along the mountain road, and he quickly detected the location of Zhou Peitian’s cell phone signal.

Great, he picked up his handgun and jumped out of the car!

Sure enough, he saw several thatched cottages. These cottages, in the darkness, loomed like gigantic creatures, oppressively dark.

It was very quiet around, with only the sound of running water, as if one could hear their own heartbeat in the stillness.

Shen Chi lightened his steps, his sharp eyes scanning and hovering in the darkness.

Suddenly, he saw a flicker of light, coming from a yard.

Shen Chi pressed himself against the wall, peering inside through a hollowed-out section.

Indeed, it was Zhou Peitian!

In the yard, Zhou Peitian was not afraid of the cold and was sleeping on the cold stone table. There was a candle on the table, about to burn out, next to an overturned bottle of wine and several unfinished dishes.

Zhou Peitian lay motionless, sprawled out just like that.

Shen Chi’s gaze continued to search, but after a long while, he still hadn’t seen Xu Chaomu.

However, the wall was very high, and he couldn’t get inside.

He called Zhou Peitian again, and just as he dialed, he heard a phone ringing in the yard.

Zhou Peitian woke up from his sleep; he took the phone, damn it, it was still Shen Chi!

Instantly, all sleepiness vanished, and he cursed coldly, “Shen Chi, if you dare to call again, I will kill Xu Chaomu right now!”

“I’m just outside the wall, come out,” Shen Chi said.

Shen Chi’s voice carried well, and especially in the dead of night, Zhou Peitian indeed heard him!

Zhou Peitian’s sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he stood up, looking around vigilantly!

Only a short bit of the candle remained, but Zhou Peitian was not stupid. Before he prepared to go open the door, he closed the door to Xu Chaomu’s room!

Xu Chaomu, confused, hurried to the window, “Zhou Peitian, you’ve locked the door, how can I go to the bathroom?”

“Hold it in!”

Xu Chaomu’s voice was loud, and Shen Chi outside heard it,

Hearing her voice, as always, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Peitian put the handgun in his pocket. While talking to Shen Chi on the phone, he walked toward the door.

“Shen Chi, how many people did you bring?”

“Just me.”

“Why should I believe you?” Zhou Peitian sneered.

“Open the door and you’ll know, won’t you?”

“Do you think I’m an idiot?!”

Shen Chi no longer wanted to waste words with him. He suddenly kicked at the door of the thatch-roofed cottage!

With a loud “clang,” the door shook. He then kicked twice more and with a “crash,” the door swung open!

As soon as the door opened, Shen Chi immediately charged in, heading straight for Zhou Peitian.

Zhou Peitian saw that the situation was bad and hurriedly ran towards the room. Due to his positional advantage, he was first to place a knife against Xu Chaomu’s throat.

Shen Chi stopped five steps away, his fists clenched tight.

“Shen Chi!” Xu Chaomu saw him by the dim light of the candle.

Not having seen him for many days, he had a bluish stubble on his face, looked haggard, but his eyes were sharp and spirited.

She stared intently at him. In this moment, she both hoped and dreaded his arrival.

Zhou Peitian let out a triumphant laugh, “Hahaha, Shen Chi, do you think you can outrun me? I told you not to try any tricks, not to use any tricks, but why don’t you listen? Now, because of your disobedience, this woman’s face is about to be cut.”

Having said that, Zhou Peitian really did rub the chilly blade across Xu Chaomu’s face.

“Stop right there!” Shen Chi shouted coldly.

A chill spread across Xu Chaomu’s face, and she clenched her eyes shut in fear.

But Zhou Peitian, as if he hadn’t heard, shook his “hand” and really swiped the knife towards Xu Chaomu’s face.

Xu Chaomu turned her head; the knife didn’t slash her face, but it did cut her neck.

“Ah!” It hurt, it hurt a lot.

Piercing pain swept through her, and she cried out, her hands trying to grasp Zhou Peitian’s knife.

Blood flowed down her neck, staining her clothes red.

“Chaomu!” Shen Chi’s eyes turned a bright, furious red, Zhou Peitian really dared to act!

Shen Chi, like a lion exploding in anger, radiated a chilling ruthlessness, his blood boiling, clamoring in fury!

Xu Chaomu grabbed Zhou Peitian’s knife with her bare hands, knowing that if she couldn’t hold on to it, her face would be ruined.

No, even if she had to die, she wanted to die looking somewhat presentable.

Blood dripped down the lines of her palm, now also staining the snow-white blade red.

“Let go, let go!” Zhou Peitian roared at Xu Chaomu, straining to pull his knife free.

Zhou Peitian’s attention was all on Xu Chaomu at that moment.

This woman was like a madwoman, daring to grab his knife with her hands, and moreover, she was incredibly strong!

Just then, Shen Chi seized the opportunity and delivered a side kick with all his might to Zhou Peitian’s waist!

Zhou Peitian hadn’t noticed it coming, and with a cry, the knife slipped from his hand.

Shen Chi delivered another kick, this one to his stomach!

Zhou Peitian stumbled backward, slamming hard against a wall behind him!

Suddenly, just as Shen Chi was pulling out his gun, Zhou Peitian also drew his own gun from his pocket in an instant.

“Mumu, step back,” Shen Chi said evenly.

“Shen Chi… be careful, he’s gone mad. He would rather die with us than give up,” Xu Chaomu said anxiously.

She was frightened, terribly so, and her heart wouldn’t stop pounding.

Blood was still flowing from the cut on her neck, her hands also bleeding, the smell of blood spreading through the air.

But at this moment, the pain was nothing. She wanted to stand with Shen Chi.

“Step back!” Shen Chi bellowed at her.

Only then did Xu Chaomu obediently nod and began stepping back, retreating behind Shen Chi.

Shen Chi’s gun was pointed directly at Zhou Peitian, and Zhou Peitian’s gun was also aimed at Shen Chi.

Both men’s fingers were on the triggers, the tension was palpable!

Xu Chaomu feared she might disrupt Shen Chi; she wanted to go out and call for help.

However, as she stepped back, Zhou Peitian shouted, “Nobody’s leaving! If anyone dares to move, I’ll detonate the explosives!”

Zhou Peitian threatened Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu, his face twisted with cruelty, his tone vicious.

Shen Chi had seen it all on arrival, the ground was covered in explosives.

“Zhou Peitian, after five years, you still fancy these underhanded tactics,” Shen Chi sneered, a scornful curve appearing on his lips.

“How else am I supposed to deal with you, Chairman Shen?” Zhou Peitian laughed heartily.

“Four, these explosives can’t be ignited, I’ve doused them with water!” Xu Chaomu bravely informed Shen Chi.
