Chapter 367 Isn't that too cruel?

Shen Jiheng had a question in his mind: Han Xi had spoken a few words to Bai Xue alone, away from him, and he was curious about what it was.

Logically, they shouldn't have needed to hide their plans from him, which piqued his curiosity.

Han Xi smiled and said, "It's nothing. I didn't let you know so as not to ruin the impression I have on you."

Shen Jiheng said with interest, "If that's how you put it, then I'll be even more interested. Tell me about it."

Han Xi took a deep breath and said, "I told Bai Xue that if Bo Siye really made a move against her, she could fight back if she had the chance."

"A counterattack? Bo Siye is a man of hidden strength. Bai Xue has no chance against his skills, especially since he is always accompanied by bodyguards."

“It is precisely because none of you take her seriously that she was able to launch a sneak attack when they were off guard. I told him that if she could really kill Bo Siye, I could guarantee her innocence.”

These words truly overturned Shen Jiheng's understanding of her. He never expected that a pacifist like Han Xi would be forced to take this path.

Thinking back to how she used to protect Bo Siye, and now trying every means to get rid of him, it's a stark contrast.

This is what he wanted to see.

Seeing that he was staring at her intently, Han Xi asked awkwardly, "Do you think I'm too ruthless, always coming up with dirty tricks?"

Shen Jiheng shook his head repeatedly: "Absolutely not. Your idea is excellent, I agree with it, and if we catch them off guard, we do have a chance. Let's wait for news."

After saying that, Shen Jiheng looked out the window, suppressing his laughter. He never expected that Han Xi would care about his opinion of her.

Seeing his trembling shoulders, Han Xi slapped his arm in displeasure.

"Hey, are you laughing at me?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Shen Jiheng still didn't turn around, lest he see her serious expression and burst out laughing.

Han Xi patted his shoulder and said unhappily, "I was originally considering your opinion, but you still laugh at me."

Shen Jiheng turned around, pinched her cheek, and leaned in with a mischievous smile, saying, "I just didn't expect that the woman in front of me was actually a little devil."

I used to think she was just vindictive, but I never imagined she had this side to her.

Han Xi slapped his hand away and said, "So, you feel that I am different from what you think, so you won't like me that much."

Shen Jiheng held her shoulders to make her face him, and said with a smile, "On the contrary, I like you even more because you are vengeful and unpredictable."

Han Xi stared at him with her bright eyes, listening as he said, "I just want to tell you that no matter what you become, as long as you are Han Xi, I will love you as always."

His deep, magnetic voice was touching. Han Xi threw herself into his arms. She liked Shen Jiheng's acceptance and tolerance of her ever-changing personality.

She felt foolish for worrying that Shen Jiheng wouldn't accept her other side.

"No matter what I become in the future, you must never change your mind."

Shen Jiheng held her hand and promised, "Even if your hair turns white and your teeth fall out in the future, I will still love you."

Han Xi was amused by him, and her originally heavy mood relaxed. She only hoped that their plan would go smoothly.

Whether we catch him red-handed for murder or Bai Xue kills him in return, we must succeed this time.

Shen Jiheng escorted her to the company entrance and personally opened the car door for her and helped her out.

His gentlemanly demeanor combined with his regal aura made him seem shrewd and calculating.

His gentle smile could completely melt Han Xi's heart.

"I have some things to take care of at the company. I'll pick you up later."

Han Xi looked at him with a hint of reluctance. So this was how Shen Jiheng felt when he parted ways with her before.

Shen Jiheng sensed the change in her gaze, leaned slightly closer, and said with a smile, "Of course, you can give me a goodbye kiss if you like."

Han Xi would never have paid him any attention before, but this time it was beyond his expectations.

Han Xi tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips to his in front of everyone.

Shen Jiheng was stunned. At first, he was worried that she was embarrassed and just pointed to her cheek, but Han Xi's actions were completely unexpected.

See you later!

Before he could recover, Han Xi had already quickly released him and walked towards the hall. Looking at this figure, Shen Jiheng's face was filled with a happy smile.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Qin Chuan stepped forward and reminded him, "President, Miss Han has already gone inside. Shouldn't I now address her as 'Madam'?"

Shen Jiheng said with satisfaction, "You're still as savvy as ever. I'll give you a raise when we get back."

Qin Chuan beamed: "Thank you, President. Also, Assistant Yang reported that Bai Xue has escaped as planned, just as you said, and the people Bo Siye arranged have already followed her."

Shen Jiheng sneered. This person strives for perfection in everything he does, afraid of leaving any evidence against him. He will definitely try to get rid of Bai Xue.

Now it remains to be seen how Bai Xue will atone for her sins. Shen Jiheng, however, hopes that she can truly eliminate that scourge herself.

"Don't get too close. She has a chip on her and won't get lost. If Bo Siyue finds out, all our efforts will be in vain."

"Understood. Our people are keeping their distance and moving with the chip's location."

Shen Jiheng nodded and praised, "I have always trusted you to do things. I apologize for what happened before."

Qin Chuan stared at him in disbelief, his eyes wide.

The man in front of him was Shen Jiheng, a notoriously unruly man from Chongqing, whose dictionary contained no word for apology.

Of course, Han Xi is an exception!

However, even if he was truly in the wrong, he would never take the initiative to admit his mistake to outsiders. Now that he suddenly said this, Qin Chuan was somewhat flattered.

He responded excitedly, "President, you must have had your reasons. We don't blame you. Now it's good that things are back on track."

Shen Jiheng was right about him. He had originally planned to keep him by Han Xi's side to help manage affairs, but it seemed that it was more convenient to keep him by his side.

Inside the Bo family compound!

Bo Siye was in the yard with his grandfather, who was basking in the sun. After being treated by specialists, his grandfather's condition had improved, and he was now able to go home to recuperate, which was Bo Siye's only source of relief.

The woman he considered his most beloved had completely broken ties with him, and no matter what he did, he couldn't salvage their relationship.

But he had once thought of helping her take care of her child and cherishing her for the rest of his life...

Seeing his absent-mindedness, the old man sighed, "Siye, I never thought I'd be able to return to my own courtyard. It's only at times like this that people realize the preciousness of time."

Bo Siye got up and massaged his shoulders. "The doctor said you're recovering, so you can stay home from now on."

“You’re someone who could be in your coffin at any moment, and I’m worried about you. Are you still fighting with the Shen family? And Han Xi, I haven’t seen her visit me lately. Have you two had a falling out?”

The old man had always admired Han Xi and could see that his stubborn grandson had feelings for her, so he wanted to bring the two of them together.

But Han Xi hasn't come over recently, and hasn't even called, so he knew something must have happened.
