Chapter 232 Was he really that happy?

Han Xi was startled by his action and sensed that he was somewhat emotionally unstable, so she patted him on the shoulder.

How did you get here?

Shen Jiheng didn't respond, but instead pulled his arms closer and hugged her even tighter.

"Han Xi, I really don't know anything. During those four years, all I heard was how loving you and Bo Siye were. I never knew that the person you loved was me."

Han Xi gently pushed his shoulder away, looking at him with a puzzled expression. How did Shen Jiheng know about this?

Seeing Han Xi's puzzled look, Shen Jiheng picked up her handbag, took out a bugging device, and made Han Xi understand immediately.

No wonder he knew these things; it turns out it was this.

Han Xi said angrily, "You actually put a bug in my bag? How little do you trust me?"

Shen Jiheng held her shoulders and said, "Don't be angry. It's not that I don't trust you, but I want to find out the whole story. I was worried that there were some things that even you wouldn't be able to say, so I thought of using this method."

If this method hadn't been used, Shen Jiheng would probably never have known that Han Xi had always loved him all those years ago.

Thinking of the things she said when she was drunk, Shen Jiheng felt a pang of pain in his heart.

If he had known these things earlier, he wouldn't have missed out on so many years with Han Xi.

"You should understand that nobody likes being eavesdropped on."

“You can blame me or hate me, but at least let me find out the truth. Why were you so foolish? You didn’t even ask me for confirmation once. During the three years of our marriage, you never asked me.”

"No matter how I ask, you always look at me with a cold expression. Then, because of Gu Hanxi's appearance, I feel like I'm just a substitute."

Shen Jiheng said angrily, "It's all Bo Siye's fault. He's the one who interfered, which is why we missed each other for so many years. Han Xi, I will never let go of your hand again."

No matter how difficult it is this time, Shen Jiheng will never let her go.

Han Xi sighed, feeling overwhelmed by the numerous problems at hand and having no energy to discuss matters of the heart.

"Now that you've heard it all, you should know about the feud between your father and them. What do you plan to do about it?"

Shen Jiheng frowned and said, "That person should bear the consequences of his mistakes, and it has nothing to do with the Shen family. But I will never let the matter of poisoning go unpunished."

After hearing what his father had done, Shen Jiheng was filled with rage.

If these things are true, he can completely understand Bo Siye's revenge and doesn't blame him.

But he won't give up easily on other things.

“Come back to the hospital with me now. Since he’s pinning all this on my aunt, we should listen to her explanation.” This was what Han Xi was going to do next.

Originally, I planned to clarify everything before explaining to Shen Jiheng, but since he's already here, I might as well figure it out together.

Shen Jiheng nodded; he had been planning to do just that.

Han Xi was about to drive when Shen Jiheng quickly snatched the keys.

"I'll do it, you can rest for a while."

After realizing that Han Xi had fallen in love with him during their university years, Shen Jiheng's feelings underwent a significant change.

Although Han Xi had mentioned it before, he was still skeptical. But now that it has been implemented, he is genuinely happy.

Even sitting in the passenger seat, Han Xi could sense that this person seemed somewhat different from usual.

Whenever he stops, he always steals a glance at me. We both live under the same roof and see each other every day, so why does he have this long-lost reunion expression?

Upon arriving at the hospital, the two entered the elevator. Shen Jiheng stared intently at her, as if afraid she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Han Xi, unable to bear it any longer, said, "How long are you going to stare at me like that before you stop?"

Shen Jiheng slightly curled his lips and said honestly, "It might not be able to stop."

"...Please calm yourself down and get down to business." Han Xi didn't want him to keep looking like this.

Shen Jiheng coughed and loosened his tie to compose himself, but the thought of missing out on Han Xi for so many years made him feel like he had a knife stuck in his heart.

As the elevator doors opened, Han Xi was about to step out when Shen Jiheng suddenly hugged her from behind.

"I'm so happy to have been loved so deeply by you, thank you."

After saying that, he walked out before Han Xi could scold him, leaving Han Xi stunned. She didn't leave until the elevator doors were about to close.

Shen Jiheng's words were strange. Was he really that happy to know that he loved him back then?

The two arrived at Ding Shan's ward and found Gu Hongyi and his son inside.

When Gu Beichen saw the two of them arrive at the same time, he put on a serious expression, made a 'shh' gesture, and led them out first.

"Han Xi, why did you come back again? My mother is making a fuss again. The doctor gave her a sedative, and she won't wake up today."

Now that things have come to this, Han Xi has no choice but to explain everything to him.

“Brother, according to Bo Siye’s confession, the poison was bought by my aunt at her request. On my way back just now, I received a recording of a phone call from Bo Siye. He said he recorded the conversation because he was afraid of causing trouble.”

After Han Xi finished speaking, he played the recording for him. Although the content was indeed as Bo Siye had said, he still didn't believe it.

Gu Beichen shook his head excitedly and said, "Han Xi, you should also believe my mother, right? Although she has been in a bad mood lately, I believe she wouldn't do such a vicious thing."

Han Xi really didn't dare to say that when Ding Shan went crazy before, she even attacked the old lady and her own husband, and she also hit Gu Beichen quite a bit.

Seeing that the two did not answer, Gu Beichen panicked and said, "In short, I believe my mother. She would never hurt innocent people. There must be a misunderstanding. Maybe it is a way that Bo Siye came up with to get away with it."

Anything is possible now, so the only way to find out the truth is to confront Ding Shan.

"Unfortunately, my aunt is asleep and can't tell the truth right now. All the evidence points to her, which is very bad for her."

This is no longer just a simple case of poisoning; it has now become a serious criminal case. The police have intervened in the investigation, and if it is proven that Ding Shan was the one who poisoned the victim, she will face severe criminal penalties.

Gu Beichen said anxiously, "I know all that, but Han Xi, you will definitely help us. She is your aunt."

Han Xi could only say, "As long as it's confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with her, I will definitely protect her."

Shen Jiheng added, "What if she herself admits to committing the crime? What are you going to do then?"

These words left the brother and sister stunned. If even Ding Shan admitted it, then no one could help her.

Even if Shen Jiheng doesn't file a lawsuit, the Shen family won't let her off the hook, especially Shen Mu, who has already made his stance clear and hired a lawyer to seek justice for his family.

Once this matter goes to trial, it will have a significant impact on both families. Of course, the most difficult situation will be for Shen Jiheng and Han Xi, who are caught in the middle and can't please either side.

Gu Beichen frowned and said firmly, "Even so, I can't abandon her. I can't lose my mother. Even if it means breaking ties with the Shen family, that's the last thing I want to see."
