Chapter 334 Eliminating Hidden Dangers
If Bo Siye hadn't had a backup plan, he would have been doomed tonight. No one expected him to be so meticulous and prepared in advance.
Han Xi's biggest fear right now is that Bo Siye's people are at the old house. If they target the child, it will be terrible, so she must rush over immediately to confirm.
Madam Shen had already received their call and arranged for all three children to stay in her room, where she and the old lady would guard them and not allow anyone to get close.
Originally, everyone in the old house was someone they trusted, but after all these things suddenly happened, they dared not trust anyone easily anymore.
After all, the Gu family's steward had served them for ten years, yet he betrayed them. Who could possibly know what was wrong with the old house?
The car drove into the yard, Qin Chuan took out the wheelchair, and the two of them helped him sit down.
After a whole night of fussing, the sky is now just beginning to lighten.
Upon entering the house, I saw Aunt Wang and two maids, including a gardener, sitting on the living room sofa. They all had solemn expressions, and I knew without a doubt what had happened.
In the tense atmosphere, Aunt Wang spoke first: "Young master, madam, you're back."
Han Xi nodded slightly: "Aren't you getting up a little too early?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Aunt Wang sighed and said, "At dawn, the old lady woke us all up and questioned each of us. She also had the bodyguards raid and check everyone's room, saying that someone had informed on us and that there was a spy here."
As she spoke, she looked at everyone and said helplessly, "Everyone is panicking right now and doesn't understand the situation. Nobody is going to bed early."
Han Xi frowned; this was indeed a difficult matter.
What if it's all fabricated by Bo Siye, or even deliberately created confusion for them?
"Did you find anything?"
"We found nothing, but the old lady still seemed worried, and none of us knew what to do."
Seeing everyone's helpless expressions, Han Xi comforted them, "Aunt Wang, as you all saw, Ji Heng got into this mess, and the Gu family was also taken hostage by their servants. These changes have made us very worried."
Aunt Wang looked at Shen Jiheng with pity and nodded understandingly: "We heard from the old lady that the bastard said he also had people around us, which is why everyone is so panicked."
As soon as Aunt Wang said this, everyone expressed that she was not a spy.
Shen Jiheng waved his hand: "I understand how everyone feels right now, but we have no other choice."
The implication was that he wanted everyone to go back temporarily, as he couldn't take that risk.
Although nothing was found, it doesn't mean the danger is over.
Who can guarantee what will happen in the next second? Right now, they can't trust anyone except their own family.
Han Xi nodded in acknowledgment: "I know that everyone has lived in the old house for many years, especially Aunt Wang, who was there even before Ji Heng was born. We absolutely trust you."
Aunt Wang nodded with tears in her eyes, sighed and said, "Even if you believe me, you will still have doubts. After all, these things have already happened. I don't mean to blame you, I'm just worried that if I leave like this, who will take care of you?"
The gardener also said, "Young master, I just planted a few cherry trees in the backyard. The young master said he liked them yesterday, so I bought them. I also just planted some strawberry seedlings. Please remember to take good care of them."
They all knew that even if they could prove their innocence, they probably wouldn't be able to stay, which was why they couldn't sleep and were sitting here waiting for further instructions.
He looked regretful; they had lived together for so long and were like family.
It's all that damned Bo Siye's fault for disrupting their lives.
"Thank you all for your concern for the old house. Once things have calmed down, I will personally pick you up if you are still willing to come back."
The fact that Shen Jiheng could say such a thing was a comfort to everyone.
Han Xi nodded and said, "I know Grandma will definitely be reluctant to part with you, and Ji Heng will be reluctant to part with you all too. It's just that these are extraordinary times, so I apologize to everyone."
Aunt Wang stepped forward, patted her hand, and said with a smile, "Madam, please don't say that. We servants are so grateful to have such good family members like you. You have never mistreated us and have always treated us like family."
Seeing everyone's reluctant expressions, Han Xi said with emotion, "Thank you on behalf of Grandma. I will arrange for a driver to take you back later."
Aunt Wang nodded and looked at everyone, saying, "We all heard that. Let's go back and wait for the young master to handle things. He will come to pick us up."
We're waiting for you!
Everyone spoke in unison, their eyes filled with determination.
Aunt Wang choked up as she said, "Madam, I've asked everyone to write down a list. If you get too busy, just contact me, okay?"
Seeing how reluctant she was to part with him like a family member, Han Xi felt bad too.
Rather than living in fear, it's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
"Okay, thank you."
The old lady stayed upstairs and didn't come down, because she couldn't bear to see her old friends leave.
Everyone has followed her for over ten years, some for at least eight or nine. How can they be so heartless as to suddenly send her away?
But to avoid the problems that plague the Gu family, this was the only way.
After everyone had been sent away, the old lady came downstairs with tears still in her eyes.
Han Xi comforted her, holding her shoulder, "Grandma, don't worry, they all understand and have no complaints. Ji Heng said that we'll bring them back after things have calmed down."
The old lady sighed deeply, "I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. I'm so sorry for all of you, but you can't keep things from me like this again. My heart can't take it."
Han Xi smiled wryly and said, "Grandma, they can even keep it from me, let alone you."
The old lady nodded helplessly in agreement: "That makes sense. I just hope that such things will never happen again."
Although only family members are left now, other troubles have arisen. Taking care of three children's daily needs is not an easy task, and there is also an elderly person.
Without a helper, Madam Shen would have a hard time managing on her own, and Han Xi was busy taking care of Shen Jiheng at the hospital and couldn't leave, which was a bit of a problem.
“Auntie, you might have a bit of a busy period ahead. Please let the children do the simple chores.”
Han Chuang was the first to stand up and support her: "Don't worry, sister, I can do the laundry, cook, and make fried eggs. I'll take care of my younger brother and sister."
Han Xi looked at him with relief, realizing that she hadn't spoiled this child in vain.
Han Yuxuan added, "I can help too. I can wash vegetables, water flowers, and even feed my sister when she refuses to eat."
“You are all good children. With you at home, Mom feels at ease.”
Seeing the united family was the greatest comfort to Han Xi.
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Isn't this what they call true friendship in times of trouble?"
Han Xi nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. As long as we're a family together, we can overcome any difficulty."
Han Xi took the lead in making a cheering gesture, and the three children immediately responded. Their enthusiastic and well-behaved appearance made everyone laugh.
At least this hidden danger has been eliminated. The next thing to do is to solve the real problem, which is Bo Siye.
Han Xi and Shen Jiheng exchanged a glance, and from each other's angry eyes, they understood each other's thoughts.
