Chapter 118 The Unknown Secret
Han Xi arrived at the prison gate. She had submitted her application yesterday, and after signing the papers today, she was able to enter smoothly.
When Gu Hanxi heard that her family had come to visit her in prison, she excitedly followed the prison guard to the reception room, but her expression changed when she saw that the person sitting inside was Han Xi.
Since Han Xi is no longer a lawyer, she can only come here as a member of Gu Hanxi's family to avoid other troubles.
Gu Hanxi said sarcastically, "I really didn't expect that someone who hates me to the bone would actually call himself my family."
Han Xi was not angry when he heard this, but laughed instead.
"There's nothing I can do about it. Now that I'm back in the Gu family, I'm loved by your parents and grandparents every day. It's all thanks to your bad deeds that they owe me so much. They want to give me all the good things!"
Gu Hanxi was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. That damned Han Xi, was he deliberately showing off to her?
"Han Xi, you wait. The warden said I've behaved well and I'll be out in two years. When that happens, I'll definitely take back everything that belongs to me."
Han Xi couldn't help but laugh at her confident demeanor.
Gu Hanxi felt a little flustered upon hearing the laughter and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"
Han Xi leaned closer and asked, "Do you really think you still have a chance to get out?"
Gu Hanxi's already flustered heart sank, and she asked nervously, "What do you mean?"
Han Xi smiled but remained silent, crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair, staring intently at Gu Hanxi.
She looked much more haggard after not seeing her for several years, but you could still see the resentment in her eyes.
Han Xi's silence drove the other party crazy. Gu Hanxi clenched her fist and placed it on the table, angrily asking, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't deliberately keep me in suspense."
Han Xi deliberately kept quiet, making her feel uneasy under his gaze.
"Han Xi, what do you want from me? Tell me quickly."
Seeing how anxious she was, Han Xi placed his fingers together on the table and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"In the kidnapping case four years ago, who were you taking the blame for? I used to think it was you, but after your father's analysis, it was determined that you had nothing to do with it."
When this topic was brought up, Gu Hanxi lowered her head; she absolutely could not admit to this.
Han Xi knew something was wrong from her reaction.
"So I was wondering if it was Bai Xue who did it, but I couldn't figure it out. After all, you hate that woman more than I do, so you would definitely want her dead. Why would you help her?"
This is what Han Xi has never been able to understand.
Gu Hanxi had wanted to get rid of Bai Xue, this illegitimate daughter, many times before, so how could she possibly take the blame for her?
There's no way to get an answer from Bai Xue in such a short time; the only option is to contact her directly.
“I have pleaded guilty to this matter, and the court has sentenced me. What else do you have to ask?”
"You're so pitiful. How much hatred must you be harboring? You did nothing wrong, yet disaster struck you out of nowhere, and you're taking the blame for the person you hate the most."
Gu Hanxi gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred. If she hadn't been caught red-handed, why would she have swallowed her anger?
Han Xi added fuel to the fire, saying, "She's doing just fine outside now, and she's always trying to please your father. Who knows, your uncle might bring her back one day to replace you as the young lady."
To provoke someone, you have to pick on what they hate most. Sure enough, that's what came out of her mouth, and Gu Hanxi jumped up.
"That shameless bitch dares to do that. If she goes back to the Gu family, I'll skin her alive."
"So you're stupid and don't even know it, they're still out there trying to increase your crimes so she can never leave this prison for the rest of her life."
Gu Hanxi was trembling with anger. Han Xi continued, "Now Shen Jiheng and I have discovered that the kidnapping case four years ago was unusual. She is once again putting all the blame on you and is even swearing that you will confess."
Gu Hanxi bit her lip so hard it was almost bleeding. "That damned woman, I will not let her off easily from now on."
“I already told you you have no chance to get out. I wasn’t there when you were sentenced, so now I’m definitely going to settle this score. Since you admit to kidnapping and killing my child, how can I let you off the hook?”
Gu Hongyi had tried for four years without getting her to tell the truth, so Han Xi had no choice but to use this reverse psychology tactic.
Seeing the anger on her face, Gu Hanxi said in a panic, "This is all in the past, why are you..."
“Who told you about the past? This is just the beginning. I have already hired the best lawyers in the country and collected all the evidence against you. In addition to Bai Xue’s accusations and Shen Jiheng’s promises to me, we can preliminarily determine that you will be sentenced to at least 20 years in prison.”
Gu Hanxi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. If Shen Jiheng were to take action, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Han Xi took out a new lawsuit and placed it in front of her. It was filled with a list of Gu Hanxi's crimes, some of which were things she had never seen before.
She had no idea how many bad things that bitch Bai Xue had done during this time, and how she had pinned it all on her.
"Bai Xue said you did all of this, so you're willing to confess, right?"
Gu Hanxi's anger had reached its peak, and Han Xi added fuel to the fire.
"I really envy Bai Xue for being able to do whatever she wants. No matter what she does, there's always a fool to take the blame, and she can comfortably wait to be a pampered young lady."
"Enough!"
Gu Hanxi slammed her fist on the table and roared angrily. Seeing this, the prison guard quickly pressed her back into her chair and reminded her to be quiet.
Gu Hanxi's chest heaved with anger, and she said with trembling hands, "I didn't do it. From the time she returned to China and started slandering you, it has nothing to do with me."
Han Xi nodded: "Actually, I've thought about this too. You want to get out of prison so badly, how could you be so stupid as to let her deal with me?"
Gu Hanxi suppressed the pain in her heart, her lips almost bleeding from being bitten.
She clenched her hands, hesitant to speak: "Because she has something on me."
"You've been holding it in for years, do you really want to die taking the blame for something?"
Gu Hanxi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "It was my stupidity that allowed her to live a good life for several years by stepping on my head. Let me tell you, Shen Tongtong is not actually a member of the Shen family, but is my child with my ex-boyfriend."
The truth shocked Han Xi so much that her pupils dilated, and she stared at Gu Hanxi in disbelief.
Before she arrived, she was curious about what leverage Bai Xue had over Gu Hanxi that made her willing to take the blame and refuse to speak up until now.
I really didn't expect it to be related to Shen Tongtong's identity.
Such a big event, no wonder he could control her.
It's worth noting that Shen Jiheng devoted all his energy to taking care of his elder brother's only child.
If Shen Jiheng knew that the child he had painstakingly cared for was actually a joke, how much he would hate this woman, he would definitely kill her.
Gu Hanxi cried, "Back then, Shen Jiheng and that bitch Bai Xue were childhood sweethearts. She was two-faced, and shamelessly seduced Shen Zhaohua, trying every means to marry into a wealthy family."
Han Xi was shocked again, "You mean Bai Xue and Shen Zhaohua have a relationship?"
Han Xi never expected that following the clues would uncover so many unknown secrets.
