Chapter 227 Something's Wrong

Han Xi deliberately said these words to provoke her, hoping to get her to reveal who was behind it all.

The thought that someone was hiding behind them and could harm them at any moment made Han Xi uneasy.

Ding Shan said excitedly, "Don't talk nonsense, they are not accomplices at all."

"Whether they are accomplices or not is not for you to decide. Don't forget that both father and son supported taking the birthday cakes back then. Now that the Shen family wants to investigate, of course they should be the ones to be punished."

Ding Shan shook her head violently, angrily thrashing her body, trying to break free of the ropes binding her.

“It has nothing to do with them. Neither father nor son knew anything about this from beginning to end.”

Han Xi noticed that the gauze on her wrist was dripping blood, which was probably due to her excessive movements, causing the wound to bleed again.

Han Xi took a breath, stepped forward and pressed down on her trembling shoulders, staring into her eyes and said seriously, "That's enough. Don't cause any more trouble for your uncle. Look at what you've done to him since Gu Hanxi left."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shan slowly stopped struggling, her angry eyes now filled with a hint of confusion.

Han Xi sighed and said, "You are a reasonable person, and we can all understand your pain of losing your daughter, but how can you use this to hurt your dearest loved ones?"

Han Xi pressed the call button to notify the doctor to come and reapply the medicine and bandage to prevent further bleeding.

"Putting aside the issue of Gu Hanxi's death, the way you treat your uncle and brother makes them live in constant fear. Your uncle's hair has turned white in just a few days. Are you only satisfied when you've broken this family apart?"

Ding Shan shook her head. She didn't want to break up the family; she wanted to avenge her dead daughter.

It wasn't easy for Han Xi to remain calm and talk to her. Thinking about yesterday's scene, she had the urge to strangle Ding Shan.

"If you didn't want to break up this family, then why did you do this? What did the Shen family do to wrong you?"

Ding Shan gritted her teeth and said, "It was Shen Jiheng. He killed my daughter."

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? It was an accident. Back then, to save Gu Hanxi's last bit of face, I didn't tell you many things. Now I'll tell you everything in detail."

They didn't want the older generation to worry, so they didn't tell them about Shen Tongtong.

Ding Shan said, "You don't need to defend him. I already know everything. Shen Jiheng did all this because he hated Xixi for deceiving him, so he killed her."

Han Xi looked at her with a puzzled expression. Even Gu Beichen only found out about these things at the very end, but she sounded like she knew them very well.

"Who told you that?"

"That's not important. What's important is that you can no longer lie to me."

"The fact that you would say such a thing only shows that you are completely unaware of the real situation. And the person who told you this must be the mastermind behind it all. This person is extremely dangerous. Tell me who he is."

There really was someone behind it all. Han Xi really wanted to pry Ding Shan's mouth open and make her reveal who this person was.

But she simply turned her head away, not intending to say anything. Han Xi had no choice but to tell her the whole story, letting her judge for herself.

Ding Shan's expression changed from indifference at first, to complex and conflicted, and finally to suspicion.

Han Xi said seriously, "That's how it happened. She brought it all on herself from beginning to end. If she hadn't run away and refused to listen to advice, she wouldn't have died. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Ding Shan shook her head in confusion; these things were completely different from what she had heard.

"You're lying to me."

"You can hire a private investigator to investigate. If anything I said is false, you can do whatever you want with me."

Ding Shan fell into deep thought. If what happened was exactly as Han Xi said, then Bo Siye was lying, and it was a very serious lie at that.

Han Xi said solemnly, "Aunt, the person hiding behind you is a treacherous and cunning villain who sows discord. I believe you would never want the Shen family to be buried with you. Those poisons were instigated by the other party, right?"

Ding Shan seemed a little dazed, shaking her head and nodding at the same time, as if she hadn't yet realized the danger.

Han Xi held her hand and said, "It's too dangerous to keep someone like that around. What if he uses you to hurt the Gu family again? You can't protect him."

At this moment, the doctor and nurses arrived and immediately re-bandaged Ding Shan. Han Xi had no choice but to stop talking.

Taking advantage of the break, Han Xi walked to the door, exchanged a glance with Shen Jiheng, and headed into the corridor.

"Judging from your conversation, the person behind this must have fabricated a lot of false information about your aunt to make her hate me."

Han Xi said with a headache, "Indeed, her eyes are full of hatred, but she just started to waver, so perhaps we can get her to talk."

Shen Jiheng patted her shoulder and said, "Now it's up to you. If she refuses to talk, you can try the method you mentioned yesterday."

Han Xi wanted to spread this news so that the culprit behind it would reveal himself.

"I hope everything goes well and the real culprit is found."

Han Xi had a premonition that this person was watching their every move from behind.

A short while later, the doctor and nurses came out, and Han Xi immediately returned to the ward.

Ding Shan closed her eyes, and Han Xi went over and called out to her.

“Aunt, the person behind this is using you. If you expose him, the Shen family will treat you accordingly. For everyone's safety, tell me who he is.”

Ding Shan didn't open her eyes and deliberately turned her head away, using this method to refuse to communicate with her.

"If you insist on doing this, you will regret it when this bad person hurts your loved ones."

"I know what I'm doing. Don't say anything more. I won't tell you."

Something's not right. She was able to have a normal conversation with me just a moment ago, so why did her personality change again after only a few minutes of bandaging?

Han Xi thought of something and chased after them to the door, but the medical staff who had just arrived were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing her serious expression, Shen Jiheng heard Han Xi give him a hand gesture, and he understood and followed after her.

Han Xi turned to look at Ding Shan, wondering who it was that made her so loyal.

"You will definitely regret your choice today. It is your selfishness that has ruined your family."

Han Xi knew she wouldn't reveal the person's identity, so he had no choice but to release the information according to his previous plan. As for whether he could catch any fish, that remained to be seen.

First, Han Xi needed to find out if the medical staff who had examined and bandaged her earlier had any problems.

Han Xi was about to meet up with Shen Jiheng when someone called her back as she was about to enter the elevator.

"Han Xi, wait a moment. I know who you're looking for behind the scenes."

Han Xi felt uneasy upon hearing this person's voice, but these words piqued her interest.

She turned to look at Shen Qingzhou's ever-smiling face, wondering just how confident he was to always have a smile on his face.

"Do you know what I'm investigating?"

Shen Qingzhou stepped forward with a relaxed air and said sternly, "I know about the big thing that happened to the Shen family, and I also know who the villain is. Are you interested in talking to me about it?"
