Chapter 461 Easy Victory

For a moment, Han Xi thought that Bo Siye had contacted her to resolve the grievances between the two sides, since the initial conversation had been very warm, as if they had returned to the past.

But she was wrong; this person was only looking for her to threaten her.

After hearing his words, Han Xi laughed and said, "Very good. Now you're starting to plot against me. I must be your last pawn."

Bo Siye gritted his teeth. He had never treated Han Xi as a pawn, but only she could help him in this matter.

"In short, you only have one day to consider it. I'll wait for your response."

Unable to face her critical gaze, Bo Siye had no choice but to leave. If possible, he would also like to sit down and have a proper get-together with Han Xi.

But he was unwilling to accept it. Why should Shen Jiheng be able to take away what he had worked so hard to obtain? Everything in the Shen family belonged to him.

Han Xi put his hands to his forehead, truly baffled as to how things had turned out this way.

Bo Siyue suddenly used Zhuo Qingqian to threaten her, saying that if her secrets were exposed, she wouldn't survive.

However, if Shen Jiheng's actions were made public, his relationship with the Shen family would be completely severed, and she would never do such a thing, even if it meant death.

Seeing that Bo Siye hadn't come out for a long time after leaving, Leng Yu knocked on the door of the private room.

"What happened to President Han? What did he say?"

Leng Yu was waiting outside the door and didn't hear their conversation.

Han Xi shook her head: "It's nothing, we were just chatting."

Leng Yu whispered, "The president is on his way. He's a little angry about this."

When Han Xi brought it up, Leng Yu apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told him."

Han Xi waved his hand: "It's none of your business. Reporting my whereabouts is your duty. Besides, even if you don't say anything, he will know. I'll just wait for him here."

Shen Jiheng was worried about her safety, so naturally he wouldn't just let Leng Yu protect her.

Leng Yu nodded and went out; she could sense that Han Xi had something on her mind.

Shen Jiheng rushed over in less than ten minutes. He pushed open the door of the private room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Han Xi was safe and sound. Then he put on a serious expression.

"Han Xi, you should know how dangerous this person is. How can you be alone with him at a time like this?"

Shen Jiheng rarely treated her this way anymore; his worried expression also showed some dissatisfaction.

All of that stemmed from hatred towards Bo Siye, and an unwillingness for Han Xi to have any further connection with him.

"Ji Heng, he gave me two paths."

Han Xi didn't explain the problem, but instead told him the situation directly.

Shen Jiheng frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What road?"

Han Xi calmly said, "He made me decide between you and Qianqian, either to report you to your aunt and the others, saying that you took the opportunity to frame Shen Mingzhu."

Shen Jiheng understood, and said with a dark face, "Or should we expose Miss Zhuo's affairs?"

Han Xi nodded; she didn't want any secrets between them.

“You know I can’t do either of those things; he’s deliberately making things difficult for me.”

"In that case, leave it to me."

Seeing his determined expression, Han Xi was a little worried, because the Shen Jiheng in front of her seemed to be somewhat different from the one in the past.

In the past, he would have many concerns when doing things, but now he seems to be willing to do anything to win.

The current Shen Jiheng reminded Han Xi of how cold and ruthless he was four years ago. What made him revert to his old self?

"Ji Heng, tell me honestly, what can you do?"

Seeing her worried expression, Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "It's better that you don't know, but I can assure you that it won't affect Miss Zhuo."

Han Xi shook her head; that wasn't the guarantee she wanted.

She discovered that what Shen Jiheng dared not tell her now were methods she could not accept.

"Are you willing to do anything to beat him now?"

Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "I can only say that I have awakened again. The Shen Jiheng of the past was omnipotent. No one dared to challenge me. Bo Siye had been arrogant for a long time."

Han Xi was somewhat frightened. Shen Jiheng was not joking; this indifferent attitude could really mean that Bo Siye would be eliminated.

She grabbed Shen Jiheng's hand and said, "Jiheng, he is the only male heir in the Shen family. You must not act impulsively."

Shen Jiheng held her hand in return to comfort her: "Don't worry, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, I won't hurt him. I just don't want to give him another chance."

The implication was that if Bo Siye dared to act recklessly, he would be killed.

Han Xi felt anxious and uneasy, knowing that Shen Jiheng's actions would hurt many people.

"Ji Heng, what made you suddenly change your mind?"

Shen Jiheng is a cautious person, how could he suddenly become like this?

Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Don't you think this is a good thing? We no longer need to have any worries, and we can just do things that are beneficial to us."

That's what they said, but Han Xi still felt uneasy, perhaps because he couldn't see any human warmth in him.

His heart hardened from the moment he started targeting Shen Mingzhu.

He would use his own strength to protect those around him, and he would never compromise with Bo Siye again.

"Han Xi, you can no longer look at Bo Siye with pity. He doesn't deserve it."

Madam Shen and the old lady tried their best to persuade him, but Bo Siye was still only thinking about revenge and did inhuman things.

He repeatedly tested Shen Jiheng's patience until it was completely worn down.

When Shen Jiheng finally stopped caring about whose descendant he was, Bo Siye should have realized that he didn't have much of a chance left.

From this moment on, he would absolutely not allow this person to pose any threat to them again.

"So you're going to confront him head-on? Are your aunt and the others okay too?"

“After this incident, they are completely disappointed in Bo Siyue. Now they are threatening Miss Zhuo. I believe they won’t feel anything if I take action.”

“Ji Heng, this also seems like something you planned.”

Shen Jiheng nodded with a smile. If it really came down to scheming to harm others, Shen Jiheng was no less capable than him, but he simply disdained it.

Unfortunately, Bo Siye still thought that Shen Jiheng would consider the Shen family relationship and would never take his life.

"Han Xi, you must understand me and support me, right?"

Han Xi was speechless, unsure how to respond.

Shen Jiheng understood her personality, so he held her hands and said, "I know you're in a difficult position, so you don't need to interfere. Just leave it to me."

Han Xi really didn't want to get involved in his conflict with Bo Siye anymore, but she had to figure out Zhuo Qingqian's problem.

“Ji Heng, I can listen to you and not concern myself with your relationship with Bo Siyue, but Qianqian’s matter is too serious. I want to know how you plan to handle it.”

Shen Jiheng frowned slightly, seemingly unwilling to tell her, and forced a smile, saying, "There's a reason I won't tell you. Knowing too much about some things won't do you any good."

Han Xi shook her head: "But you never used to talk to me like this. What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"

Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. I just feel that the old ways can't solve problems. It's better to stay calm, just like this time, and easily turn the tide. Isn't that great!"
