Han Xi posted a picture of a meal on her social media account: stir-fried kidney blossoms, scrambled eggs with chives, stir-fried celtuce and yam, oysters, sheep testicles... From then on, the whol...
Chapter 105 An Important Secret
At this moment, Han Yue was like a stray dog, having lost his job at the company and now facing being kicked out of his home.
"Are you really not giving me even the slightest chance?"
Han Xi nodded without hesitation: "You don't deserve a chance."
From the fact that he had the audacity to bring his two children to claim kinship, what else wouldn't a shameless person like him do?
If you show him even the slightest leniency now, he'll take advantage of you. Only by completely extinguishing the flame in his heart and letting him know there's no chance will he calm down.
"I understand, I will move out as soon as possible."
No matter what he looks like, Han Xi will not pity him; such a person will never deserve sympathy.
Watching them leave in such a sorry state, Han Xi felt no joy at all. The person she missed most would never come back.
Just as Han Xi turned to go back, applause sounded behind him.
"That's really impressive, solving a problem that's lasted for years in one go."
Han Xi turned around, and Shen Jiheng walked over carrying a bouquet of flowers.
Han Xi asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Jiheng handed over the flowers, saying, "I want to pursue you again."
Han Xi put his hand in his pocket, showing no intention of taking it, but instead took two steps back to keep his distance.
"I don't want to have any more bad luck. You should go and cause trouble for other people."
"You might not like flowers, but I've brought you a secret that you'll definitely be interested in."
Shen Jiheng knew, of course, that Han Xi wouldn't accept the flowers. If he wanted to get closer to Han Xi, he had to find a topic that interested her.
He had been researching her for years to ensure they would have more opportunities to meet after her return.
Han Xi knew he wasn't a bored person; if he dared to say such a thing, there must be something going on.
"Then tell me."
Shen Jiheng pointed to the car behind him: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to a coffee shop to discuss this in detail."
Han Xi couldn't help but laugh: "What makes you so confident that I'll go with you?"
Shen Jiheng dared to appear in front of her, so he must have come prepared.
He took a lab report out of his bag and handed it over.
Han Xi curiously took the book and stared wide-eyed when she saw what was written on it.
This is my mother's medical report from eight years ago. It clearly states that her condition has improved, and even her bodily functions are gradually returning to normal.
But what they saw back then was that their mother's condition was serious, her organs were failing, and she passed away in less than half a month.
With trembling hands, Han Xi held up the test report and asked, "This...where did you find this?"
Seeing her expression, Shen Jiheng didn't try to negotiate as he had in the past, but instead told her directly.
"I asked Professor Yang to help me find this information."
Han Xi looked at him in confusion. They hadn't been in contact since they parted ways, so why was he suddenly going to investigate these things, especially since she had never mentioned them to him before?
"How did you come up with the idea of investigating these things?"
"Because I wanted to know more about you, I had Qin Chuan investigate everything about you, and it turned out that there were irregularities in your mother's death."
Han Xi covered her mouth and shook her head, trying to hold back her tears.
Overwhelmed with grief, she didn't think of anything else, assuming her mother had fallen ill from overwork, unaware of the conspiracy hidden behind it all.
"What else did you find out? Who is the person behind this?"
Shen Jiheng originally wanted to take this opportunity to invite her over for a visit, but seeing her eagerness, he couldn't bear to make her anxious, so he beckoned Qin Chuan to bring up the file folder.
Qin Chuan stepped forward and nodded in acknowledgment, "Ms. Han, this is the information the president asked me to investigate. All the details are in here."
Qin Chuan smiled apologetically, almost forgetting to correct it.
Han Xi's attention was now entirely focused on the file folder in her hand. She quickly opened it, and its contents infuriated her.
She never imagined that the doctor who treated her mother back then was actually Ji Qing's cousin. The two of them conspired to turn her mother, who originally just had a cold, into a seriously ill patient step by step.
Han Xi was so angry that her face turned pale and her chest heaved. Seeing this, Shen Jiheng went over and supported her arm.
"Are you alright? Let me help you back to your room to rest for a while."
I hope that this generous gift will lessen the hatred she feels towards me.
Han Xi took a deep breath and shook his head. The two children were inside and didn't want to see him.
Even if the siblings remain here as Gu Beichen's illegitimate children, they are not allowed to have contact with Shen Jiheng.
Moreover, he has been very cautious since I returned to China, so it's hard not to suspect that he has other motives.
"I'm fine. Thank you for giving me these documents. I will check them again. If they are true, it will be time to take them down."
Shen Jiheng nodded. What he needed to do now was to respect all of Han Xi's decisions and not let her feel any resistance.
We must pick up what we've lost, little by little.
"Alright, please let me know if you need anything. I'll be going now."
Although I didn't get to drink the coffee, I could sense that Han Xi's tone had softened, which was at least a good start.
Seeing that Shen Jiheng left without lingering, Han Xi became even more confused about this person, but she could clearly sense that Shen Jiheng was more cunning and deep than before.
After getting into the car, Qin Chuan asked curiously, "That was a great opportunity, why didn't the president take the chance to talk to her more?"
Shen Jiheng calmly said, "There's plenty of time in the future, why rush? She's full of anger and questions right now, this isn't the time for conversation."
Now that Han Xi has returned, he's not in a hurry.
Seeing that he had finally figured it out, Qin Chuan couldn't help but say, "President, you are very observant. I believe it will be soon that you will be questioning your wife."
Shen Jiheng curled the corners of his lips; he knew all too well that winning Han Xi back would not be easy.
What he needed to do was to use every means to keep Han Xi by his side and make her unable to leave him; that was the best way.
Han Xi showed the documents in her hand to the Gu family elders. They had already suspected that their daughter's death was suspicious, as someone who rarely suffered from illness suddenly died of a serious illness.
During that time, Han Xi was busy with her studies and, lacking medical knowledge, relied on the advice of experts.
Who would have thought that the expert she trusted most was now using every means to harm her mother?
The culprit behind this is Ji Qing.
Han Xi wanted to find out what role Han Yue played in all of this.
Grandma Gu was so angry that her hands were trembling. They had someone investigate inside the hospital and found something amiss, but the way they had handled things back then was so meticulous that they couldn't find any actual documents.
If it weren't for Shen Jiheng's intervention, Han Xi would probably have remained in the dark for the rest of his life.
"That wicked woman! I must avenge my daughter's wrongful death and make her pay a terrible price!"
Old Master Gu was heartbroken and furious. He said, "I'm calling the police right now and having the chief establish a major crime unit to thoroughly investigate this matter. No one involved should be allowed to escape."
After saying that, the old man couldn't wait a moment longer and immediately called the police, then used his connections to get them to issue an arrest warrant right away.
Ji Qing, unaware of the impending disaster, was still at home helping Han Yue devise a plan when the housekeeper rushed in to report that the police had come knocking.
