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 400 The Whole Family Turns to Help
This incident has already caused a stir on the internet, and with some people interfering, more butterfly effects will soon follow.
This must be the method that Bo Siye came up with to get rid of Shen Jiheng.
Such a vicious person terrified Han Xi.
It must be because Bo Siye didn't want her to act as Shen Jiheng's agent that he came up with this ruthless move, even suing her as well.
Director Wu said, "I've already made arrangements at the police station. Let's go over there first and then discuss it."
Shen Jiheng nodded in agreement, "Judging from your tone, you believe that I didn't kill the person."
Director Wu laughed and said, "I've known you for almost ten years, so of course I know your personality. It's true that you hit someone, but I've carefully studied the force used, and it's not fatal at all. It's just that those laymen don't understand the intricacies."
"I'm very pleased to hear you say that." Shen Jiheng certainly made the right friend.
However, Director Wu also said: "The situation is not optimistic. I believe you understand without me saying more, unless we find concrete evidence to prove that he was injured before you took action."
Han Xi also raised another unavoidable issue.
"Even if this is confirmed, the deceased's side will still believe that Ji Heng was the one who made the final move that caused the death, since Jefferson was not in any danger before he made the move."
Han Xi wasn't trying to discourage them, but rather pointing out the problem: only by controlling every detail could they have a chance to win.
Director Wu nodded helplessly: "Ms. Han, regarding your point of view on this case, firstly, you need to collect more evidence. As for the higher-ups, I will help you stall for time."
Shen Jiheng was very grateful to have met a helpful person who could assist him at such a crucial moment.
"I'd appreciate your guidance on this case."
"That's natural!"
Although Shen Jiheng appeared calm, he knew that the matter was more complex than any he had encountered in the past and would not be easy to handle.
He was truly impressed by Bo Siye this time; he had actually laid out such a grand scheme, making everyone a pawn.
After arriving at the police station and giving their statements, Attorney Yeh could only take Han Xi away because Shen Jiheng, a key suspect, could not be released on bail.
Before leaving, Han Xi, still worried, reminded him to wait patiently.
This matter has blown up, and the Shen and Gu families will definitely know about it, so Han Xi has no choice but to go back to the old house first.
As soon as she entered the door, Madam Shen grabbed her hand.
"Han Xi, you've finally arrived! Grandma was so anxious she could hardly breathe and almost fainted. I just gave her some nitroglycerin to calm her down."
"Auntie, you've really gone through a lot of trouble."
Madam Shen frowned and said, "How could such a thing happen so suddenly? I don't believe Ji Heng would kill someone."
“He was framed by Bo Siye. We are working hard to collect evidence and will not let him be falsely accused.”
Han Xi regretted that she couldn't do anything right now and could only try to appease her family.
Madam Shen sighed, "This boy has always acted impulsively since he was a child. I knew he would suffer for it one day. Bo Siyue is ruthless and will definitely not let this opportunity pass him by."
"Don't worry, Auntie. The police station will have someone to protect Ji Heng. He won't be in danger. The chief is also helping to find a solution. There will definitely be a turning point."
At least I can't give up hope.
"I feel relieved to hear you say that. Don't disturb Grandma for now. I'll tell her when she wakes up."
"Okay, let me know if anything happens, and I'll come back to see her."
After calming Madam Shen down, Han Xi returned to the Gu family.
Seeing reporters waiting at the entrance, she had to contact Gu Beichen to send them away so that her car could enter smoothly.
Gu Beichen said with a headache, "Shen Jiheng has really gotten himself into big trouble this time. I see a lot of attacks online, but no one seems to be doing anything to stop them."
Han Xi sighed helplessly, "Even if we stop them now, it will only be adding fuel to the fire and won't solve the fundamental problem. We might as well let these people go crazy first."
Seeing her worried expression, Gu Beichen patted her shoulder and said, "This is the trouble of being a celebrity. Who told him to be Shen Jiheng? When something happens, it's all over the internet. Grandpa is waiting for you in the living room. Go inside first."
Han Xi followed behind him and asked curiously, "Brother, aren't you going to ask me the truth of the matter?"
Gu Beichen waved his hand: "I've known Shen Jiheng since I was a child. I know his personality. Even if he's a scoundrel, he wouldn't kill someone on the spot and have it filmed online. It's obvious that he was framed."
Han Xi was very grateful to hear his family's trust in him.
"If he heard these words, he would definitely be moved."
"Grandpa is helping you think of a solution, and we will help you too."
"Brother, thank you."
Han Xi didn't ask about Ding Shan's situation, nor did she want to care how Gu Hongyi would treat her; she really didn't want to get involved in the Gu family's affairs.
The current situation with Shen Jiheng has left her exhausted and without much energy to think about anything else.
The two entered the living room and saw that Grandpa Gu was on the phone. Han Xi overheard that he was asking the other party to help collect evidence.
The old man put down the phone and smiled kindly, "Han Xi, we already know about Ji Heng's matter. I've had people investigate Jefferson's past actions, and we're sure we'll find some clues."
Grandma Gu also said, "My sisters happen to know people in their family, so I asked them to inquire about it. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
Han Xi originally wanted to come back to comfort them, but unexpectedly, she was the one who was being taken care of.
She was deeply moved by the unwavering support of her family members.
"Grandpa and Grandma, it's so good to have you."
Grandma Gu put her arm around her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, child. We'll be there for you through everything. Even if we have to use the entire Gu family's resources, we won't let him be wronged."
"Thank you, Grandma, thank you!"
"Silly child, we're family, no need to thank me. Get some rest, I can see you're terrified."
How could Han Xi bear to move out and leave her wonderful family? Their warmth constantly heals her heart.
Han Xi was indeed a little tired. She had just returned to her room and hadn't even had time to lie down when the phone rang. Seeing a familiar yet unfamiliar number, she immediately guessed who it was.
Bo Siye's phone number had been blocked and deleted by her, so he had to use other numbers to contact her.
Han Xi hesitated for a moment before answering the phone. Unlike before, she wasn't emotionally agitated. Instead, she calmly asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"Han Xi, do you want to save Shen Jiheng?"
Bo Siye's voice was like a trap, making Han Xi feel as if there was an emptiness in front of her, and she could never see what was inside.
"He is innocent, and I will prove his innocence."
"You can't prove it. No matter how much evidence you provide, his final blow was the cause of Jefferson's death. He is still the murderer."
He knew all this as expected. Han Xi pressed, "So you knew all along, didn't you? Could it be that you were the one who hit him?"
"Don't be in such a hurry. I'm here to discuss a condition with you. If you agree, I can get Shen Jiheng released without charge. Otherwise, he will carry the burden of murder for the rest of his life."
Bo Siye's tone was not one of negotiation; it was clearly a threat.
