Chapter 501 Making Contact

The supermarkets in the tourist area mostly sell local specialties and some expensive items; Han Xi hardly saw any of the dishes she wanted.

Seeing her disappointed expression, Bo Siye said, "Make a list of what you need, and I'll have someone deliver it to you from the city."

Han Xi nodded: "It seems this is the only way. There's a fruit section up ahead, let's go take a look."

Han Xi was only using grocery shopping as an excuse to come out. She believed that Shen Jiheng would definitely find out and find a way to meet with her.

The problem was that there were bodyguards closely watching from both the front and back, so no one could get close.

Bo Siye praised her as she carefully selected her items, saying, "Han Xi, you are truly a virtuous wife and loving mother who knows how to manage a household. We will be happy together in the future."

Han Xi smiled but remained silent, continuing to pick through the items.

She glanced around, but no one seemed suspicious. Had Shen Jiheng not noticed her presence?

Han Xi waited for someone to approach, but no one appeared even after she filled the shopping cart, and not even a salesperson came to promote her purchases.

When Han Xi arrived at the cashier, she had already given up hope.

After Bo Siye paid the bill, the cashier brought out two exquisite boxes.

"You two look so well-matched, are you newlyweds?"

Bo Siye raised an eyebrow as he listened; such words were comforting to hear, and he unconsciously replied, "You're right."

The cashier smiled and said, "Spend over a thousand here and receive a pair of couple bracelets as a gift. We wish you both a long and happy life together."

Bo Siye had never liked these kinds of freebies, but this time they pleased him greatly, so he took them and handed the pink box to Han Xi.

"Even outsiders can see how well-matched we are. You see, do you like us or not?"

How could Han Xi possibly like it? She pushed it back immediately.

"I don't like wearing this kind of thing."

The cashier looked at the two awkwardly upon hearing this, while Bo Siyue still had a smile on his face and gestured for her to open the package with his eyes.

Faced with his threatening gaze, Han Xi took the box; keeping this person calm was more important now.

Han Xi opened the box, and inside was indeed a seemingly ordinary bracelet. However, when she picked it up and saw the few rose petals left at the bottom, she was slightly taken aback.

Because the last time she found the birthday gift Shen Jiheng had given her in her closet, he had also placed similar rose petals at the bottom of the box.

Seeing her reluctant expression, Bo Siye said, "Just keep it as a souvenir."

Han Xi feigned nonchalance, casually put the bracelet back in the box, and nodded, saying, "I understand."

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that she doesn't like this.

This was the first time Bo Siye had ever cherished something like this. In the more than ten years he had known Han Xi, there had never been any item that could prove their relationship. This bracelet was their new beginning.

As they left the supermarket, Han Xi said, "I need to go to the restroom. You guys wait for me in the car."

Bo Siye smiled and said, "You know that scenic spots aren't always safe. I'll have someone check it first, and then I'll wait for you at the entrance."

The implication was that it was impossible to let her leave alone; even in that case, she would only be allowed to go after everyone had confirmed it.

Han Xi nodded helplessly: "Then tell them to hurry up, I want to go back to my aunt as soon as possible."

Bo Siye nodded and gave the bodyguards a look, signaling them to check everything before letting Han Xi in.

Han Xi went in with a stern face, quickly walked to the farthest corner, reopened the box, took out the bracelet, and only after confirming that no one had followed her in did she turn it on and was surprised to find that the bracelet could make phone calls.

She took a deep breath and tried calling Shen Jiheng, who answered almost instantly.

"Han Xi".

Shen Jiheng called out her name directly, indicating that he had arranged for the bracelet and was waiting for her call.

"Ji Heng, it's me!"

The two had only been separated for half a day, but hearing each other's voices now felt like a lifetime had passed.

Shen Jiheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He had originally planned to have Leng Yu take the bracelet to the villa and try to give it to Han Xi, but he happened to see Han Xi and Bo Siye leaving, so they would miss each other.

Moreover, it's not safe for Leng Yu to leave the bracelet in the kitchen. If Han Xi can't get it, they'll lose a golden opportunity.

After much thought, Shen Jiheng decided to take a risk and give it to them openly as a free gift, making it impossible for Bo Siye to resist.

As it turned out, his gamble paid off; Han Xi did indeed get the item and was successfully contacted.

“I know you’re pressed for time right now, so let’s get straight to the point. Leng Yu sneaked into the villa today and left something for you in the kitchen. It’s marked, and you know how to use it.”

Shen Jiheng emphasized his words, and Han Xi immediately understood.

"I understand. Is this thing dangerous?" Although he wanted to take down these people, he was also worried about causing someone to die.

"Don't worry, this thing won't kill them, it will only make them faint, and the plan to make longevity cakes will not be able to be carried out."

Just as Han Xi had thought, Shen Jiheng had made this arrangement.

No wonder she saw that the bodyguards were fine after they finished eating; it turns out that Shen Jiheng already knew about this.

"I understand, I'll figure something out tonight."

"I must find out how my aunt is doing."

“My aunt is fine, but she is chained up and Bo Siye refuses to give me the key.”

Shen Jiheng gritted his teeth. This damned Bo Siye did such a thing to his elders; it was simply unforgivable.

He instructed, "The bracelet has a video function. Find an opportunity to turn it on and let us see what's inside."

Hearing these words made Han Xi a little nervous. She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Also, don't worry, Bo Siye's wrist only has a normal timekeeping function. He won't think too much about it. As long as you don't show it, he won't notice."

"You're so thoughtful. A few minutes have passed, I'll go out first."

To avoid arousing Bo Siye's suspicion, Han Xi must go out first.

Despite his deep reluctance, Shen Jiheng had no choice but to hang up the phone. Once they were rescued, it would be the end for Bo Siyue.

Han Xi took a deep breath to compose herself before walking out. Bo Siye was still fiddling with the bracelet in front of her, and it was clear that he really liked it.

Seeing Han Xi come out, he greeted him with a smile: "Is there anything else you need to buy? If not, we'd like to head back."

He is now doing his best to satisfy Han Xi.

Han Xi shook her head: "That's enough. There are still some ingredients left. I'll make a list for you when we get back."

Bo Siye nodded gently: "No problem, as long as you like it."

Bo Siye's friendliness sometimes made Han Xi feel dazed, as if they were just getting along normally, without these thrilling events.

But she knew that a long time ago, their relationship had become irreversible.

From the moment Bo Siye began to kill them, Han Xi's only thought was to eliminate him.

Even when he was standing right in front of her, Han Xi had the urge to kill him many times, but unfortunately she couldn't do it now, as Bo Ya was still in his hands.

The two returned to the villa, and Han Xi immediately carried the things to the kitchen.
