Chapter 165 He was faking it
Shen Jiheng had already been tolerant, but he didn't expect that the man would escalate his actions and come to threaten and provoke him. Today, he will completely shatter all of Shen Jiheng's hopes.
Shen Qingzhou felt flustered as he watched him grab the sculpture and walk over, but he decided to take one last big gamble.
If he wins, Shen Jiheng will get half of his assets, which is half of the Shen Group. How could he not be tempted?
They say fortune favors the bold, so this time he was going all out.
"Fine, since you're letting me choose, then you can go die."
There was no sign of backing down in Shen Jiheng's eyes; his hatred and anger had reached their peak.
When a person is extremely angry, they often cannot control their emotions, which is why there are so many cases of accidental killing.
It seems that something like this is going to happen to Shen Jiheng today.
Shen Qingzhou shifted her body back slightly, accidentally picking up a shard of glass from the ground, wincing in pain.
A person who is truly suicidal wouldn't react so strongly to such a small pain; he's just faking it.
Han Xi originally wanted to step forward to stop her, but she gritted her teeth and held back, believing that Shen Qingzhou wouldn't be able to hold on until the end.
Shen Jiheng had already walked up to him, raising the sculpture high in his hands, his eyes filled with nothing but hatred.
Just as it was about to hit, Shen Qingzhou's defenses were indeed breached.
He hurriedly reached out to stop him: "No, no... don't do it! I just want money. Do you really want to kill your own father? You're too cruel, Wei Mian."
Although Shen Qingzhou begged for mercy, Shen Jiheng showed no sign of stopping.
He had only one thought: to silence this villain.
Seeing that Shen Jiheng was about to make a move, Han Xi hurriedly ran forward to stop him.
"Stop, Shen Jiheng! Are you crazy?"
Upon hearing Han Xi's voice, he paused with both hands. Taking advantage of this moment, Han Xi hurriedly ran forward and snatched the sculpture from his hands.
This thing weighs at least ten pounds. Han Xi carefully put it down. If it had really hit Shen Qingzhou on the head, there would have been no chance of him surviving.
Shen Qingzhou was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't dare to lie on the ground anymore and quickly got up and sat on the sofa to wipe her sweat.
Seeing the hatred in Han Xichen and Ji Heng's eyes gradually fade, it was clear that for a split second, he had truly lost his mind and almost caused a disaster.
"Why are you here?"
"How could I not come in this situation? What's wrong with you? What made you lose your temper?"
Shen Jiheng remained silent with a stern face. Han Xi pulled him to sit on the sofa, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him to calm down.
He then looked at the still-shaken Shen Qingzhou opposite him, wondering if he even knew that he had just narrowly escaped death.
"Uncle, you really are stubborn. Even now, you still dare to cause trouble. Do you really think we won't dare to touch you?"
Shen Qingzhou said resentfully, "I did think you wouldn't dare in the past, but now I know that this brat really doesn't care about the bond between father and son and wants to kill me."
Shen Jiheng said coldly, "Since you already know, then remember it and stop provoking me."
Han Xi asked curiously, "What exactly did he do to make you so angry?"
Han Xi had been thinking about this question the whole way. Although Shen Jiheng had a bad temper, he had good self-control and wouldn't be driven to this point.
Shen Jiheng looked up at her, and Han Xi saw the pain in his eyes.
"He knows about Tongtong."
Han Xi frowned. "And then?"
Shen Jiheng said angrily, "He wants me to give him half of the Shen family's assets, or he will make Tongtong's matter public and tell Grandma and the others."
Han Xi: "......"
No wonder it angered Shen Jiheng; it turns out he was up to these tricks again, and he was even using a terminally ill child. He deserves to die.
Shen Qingzhou had her own reasons, and instead began to criticize Shen Jiheng.
“Your grandmother has always wanted to hold her great-grandson. Your older brother clearly has an heir, but you kept it a secret for seven years. Now the child is dying. Do you want him to leave this world all alone? You are so heartless.”
Han Xi was unaware of this situation. The last time she saw Gu Hanxi, she hadn't heard her mention the child's condition. She assumed that after several years, a suitable bone marrow transplant had been successfully found.
Looking at Han Xi's expression, Shen Jiheng said, "Tongtong found a suitable bone marrow donor four years ago and the transplant was successful. We thought he would get better, but his condition relapsed after only half a year."
So that's how it is. Han Xi felt strange after returning to China, wondering why she didn't see the child at the Shen family's house. She thought Shen Jiheng had other concerns and didn't bring him back, but she didn't expect that his condition had worsened again.
The main reason I didn't interfere was that I didn't want to get involved in the Shen family's affairs.
"What is his current condition?"
"The doctor issued a critical condition notice, and I also asked the prison guard to inform Gu Hanxi that she will be given two days off to handle the child's funeral arrangements."
Shen Jiheng had suffered for seven long years, but unfortunately, he still couldn't make him better. He had done everything he could for this child and had a clear conscience.
But at this critical juncture, he naturally didn't want his family to worry. Who would have thought that Shen Qingzhou would step on his sore spot and threaten him at this crucial moment? How could he not be angry?
Shen Qingzhou hurriedly said, "This is the time to let him see his last relatives. I, as his grandfather, have never seen my grandson."
Han Xi frowned, feeling uneasy. Shen Jiheng still didn't know the child's true identity, and she really couldn't bear to tell him.
"The fact that I brought these things up shows that I have prepared enough information in advance. If you don't do as I say, all of this will be exposed tomorrow morning, just like the Han Yue incident."
Shen Qingzhou even used this as a cost for blackmail. Han Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't go too far. As a member of the Shen family, how can you do such a thing? If Grandma finds out, she will be heartbroken."
This is the point that Shen Qingzhou wanted to grasp.
He laughed and said, "If you don't want me to do this, you can just do as I say. But Shen Jiheng just won't listen and even wants to hit me. Let's see how badly he beats me."
Han Xi gritted his teeth and said, "I really shouldn't have stopped him just now. I should have just beaten a villain like you to death. Anyway, I can testify for him that it was self-defense. I also have a lawyer's license, so I can help him get away with it."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou panicked and quickly stood up.
"How could you do this? You're a lawyer to uphold justice, not to cover up for him."
Han Xi stood up and blocked Shen Jiheng's way, saying seriously, "Every word you're saying now is threatening him, and I can sue you."
Shen Jiheng looked up at Han Xi. The woman who used to hide behind him was now standing in front of him.
Shen Jiheng was truly happy to feel this kindness.
He stood up, patted Han Xi on the shoulder, and glared coldly at the person shouting in front of him.
"You're talking big before you've even left here. Believe me, I'll bury you in the backyard and nobody will ever find you."
Shen Qingzhou retreated in a panic, pointing at him and saying, "I'm telling you not to do anything reckless. I've already told Yan Si about the child. If anything happens to me, she'll release it immediately, and then you won't be able to hide it from her anymore."
He wouldn't dare to come over rashly if he wasn't prepared.
