Chapter 132 Holding Back a Plan
Han Xi's worst fears came true; the negative news continued to escalate, which would only bring her more trouble in the future.
She didn't want to bother with that idiot Han Xiao, but she didn't expect her to be so reckless as to cause trouble.
Han Xi didn't want to answer questions and tried to walk inside, but the reporters stopped her.
"Ms. Han, can you tell us some information? We heard that you are planning to hire someone to get rid of the brother and sister because you are worried that they will take your property. Is this true?"
"Your brother is in the hospital waiting for treatment, are you really not going to care?"
"Ms. Han, how do you plan to quell this public opinion?"
......
The noise annoyed Han Xi; she knew these reporters wouldn't give up until they dug up some inside information.
She raised her hand to stop everyone from speaking again, and said seriously, "You are reporters, not rumor-mongers. Think carefully about every question you ask before you speak, or I will sue you for defamation."
"But......"
"No buts. The clue I can give you is that everything Han Xiao said is fabricated. I will be suing her, and if any newspapers make up stories, I will also sue them."
Upon hearing this, some reporters quietly put away their cameras, but others continued to press the issue, hoping to dig up some sensational news to boost their fame.
"Ms. Han, are you trying to use your power to suppress this and cover up the truth?"
Han Xi was furious when she heard this, but before she could retort, someone behind her beat her to it.
"I think this reporter is cunning. I wonder which newspaper he works for. The Shen Group is relatively free lately, so I can challenge him."
A deep, powerful voice came from behind, making everyone look back.
Shen Jiheng strode forward aggressively, causing the reporters surrounding Han Xi to instinctively move aside.
Shen Jiheng walked up to Han Xi and saw her livid face, clearly indicating that she was very angry about what had happened.
Are you alright?
Han Xi smiled wryly and said, "It doesn't seem too good."
Shen Jiheng reassured him, "Leave this to me, you go in first."
Han Xi was very grateful that he would come to help.
"Thanks then."
She really needed to go back and deal with these matters first. With Shen Jiheng handling the aftermath, he would definitely be better at it than she was.
After all, no one in the Chongqing newspapers would dare to go against Shen Jiheng.
Han Xi walked into the company lobby, where Peng Ling had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Han, Han Xiao is in your office."
Upon hearing this person's name, Han Xi couldn't help but laugh. He had originally intended to look for her, but it seemed he could skip that now.
"Okay, notify the security department to be on standby at any time, as they may take action later."
Upon hearing this, Peng Ling said anxiously, "President Han, would you like me to go with you?"
Han Xi shook her head: "No need, dealing with her is more than enough. You can focus on your work first, I'll contact you if I need anything."
After saying that, Han Xi strode back to the office and, sure enough, saw Han Xiao sitting casually on the sofa, with his legs crossed in a smug manner.
Seeing Han Xi's sour face, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister, how about the generous gift I prepared for you?"
Han Xi was about to cry at her stupidity and asked, "Han Xiao, why don't you use your brain before you do things? Do you know how much loss a stock market crash will cause to the group?"
Han Xiao stubbornly said, "I don't care about that. Anyway, if you don't give me the money, I'll make a scene. Since I can't have it, you won't have a good time either."
Seeing that she had no idea, Han Xi walked to the table, took out a piece of paper, calculated it for her, and then held it up for her to see.
"Han Xiao, take a good look. The trouble you caused today will cost the company at least five million."
Hearing this number still made Han Xiao's eyes widen, but thinking about its great power, she felt a little smug.
In that case, Han Xi would definitely surrender to her.
She arrogantly said, "Who told you to go against me? If you're willing to give me half of your assets, I'll help you clear your name. Otherwise, I have other dirt on you that could cause you even greater losses."
Han Xi was speechless. She thought that telling her about the loss would make her realize the truth, but instead, she seemed to see a business opportunity.
She was so stupid that she had no way out, and Han Xi's last bit of patience was completely exhausted.
"Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being impolite."
"What, are you really going to kill me?"
Han Xi walked up to her and slapped her across the face.
Han Xiao was already angry, and when she raised her hand to retaliate, Han Xi quickly slapped her across the face and then pushed her to the ground.
Han Xiao didn't expect that he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back. He pointed at her and cursed, "Han Xi, you just wait. I'll make good use of these two slaps."
Han Xi squatted down, grabbed her fingers and twisted them hard, causing Han Xiao to cry out in pain.
"Han Xiao, listen carefully. The five million I just calculated for you is the loss you have to pay back later. You think releasing this will hurt me? You're too naive."
Han Xi shook off her hand, stood up, and sat on the desk, looking at her as if she were an idiot.
Han Xiao didn't believe she had a solution and said angrily, "I'll go out and tell those reporters later that you not only refused to admit your mistake but also hit me."
Han Xi couldn't help but laugh at her imposing manner.
“Go ahead and tell me. I haven’t told you yet, but ever since you were kicked out, I’ve had people monitoring your every move every day.”
Han Xiao's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "What did you say?"
Han Xi smiled and said, "On my way back, I already notified the public relations department to write an article and publish the whole story online and in newspapers."
Han Xiao felt her body go limp and collapsed to the ground.
Han Xi crossed his arms and said casually, "I don't need to remind you what you did after you were kicked out. It was definitely ten times more sensational than what you posted."
Han Xiao immediately stumbled to his feet and hurriedly walked towards her.
"Sister, no, it's all my fault. Please don't send these messages out. I know I was wrong."
Han Xi sneered, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at her.
She placed her hands on the table, looking down at Han Xiao.
“I told you long ago that I was letting you off the hook at first, and you never had the right to cause trouble. But before you exposed these things, why didn’t you think about what I would face?”
Han Xi had kept a backup plan because he was afraid they had ulterior motives, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
She discovered that Han Yue frequented various nightclubs and casinos every day, and Han Xiao was also living a life of debauchery, completely neglecting their child at the hospital.
In an attempt to create negative news about Han Xi, they deliberately hired people to film those tragic scenes, but unfortunately, all of these were filmed by the people arranged by Han Xi.
Han Xiao was well aware of what she had done, which was why she was so anxious and afraid.
"Sister, I was just confused for a moment. I will never dare to make things difficult for you again."
There was no longer any trust in Han Xi's eyes. Seeing her panicked expression, he decided to give her another blow.
Han Xi took a paternity test report out of her bag and handed it to her.
"Given what you've done, I'm giving you this so you can get a feel for the two storms of different degrees that you're about to face."
Han Xiao took the book with trepidation, but dared not look at the contents.
