Chapter 167 Thank you for not letting her down
If you were to ask who hates Gu Hanxi the most in this world, it would definitely be Han Xi.
She had never forgotten how much this woman had hurt her.
However, one thing is one thing. When it comes to the child, Gu Hanxi is both hateful and pitiful. She was willing to be used by Bai Xue in order to keep this secret, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and told the truth.
“I’m not trying to excuse her, I just think that as a mother, she wanted to do everything she could to keep her child alive.”
Shen Jiheng retorted, "Then you're wrong. Whether in the past or now, this woman has always acted in her own self-interest."
Han Xi looked at him, puzzled: "Why are you so sure?"
Shen Jiheng replied coldly, "The hospital issued a critical condition notice to Tongtong yesterday. I had the prison guards inform her that if she wants to come out now, I can bail her out."
In this respect, Shen Jiheng was quite kind, allowing the mother and son to spend their last two days together.
He appears rebellious on the outside, but is actually soft-hearted on the inside.
"And then, she'll definitely be very grateful to you."
"Then you're mistaken. Not only was she not grateful, she said she didn't want to see him."
This result surprised Han Xi. How could a mother say such cruel things?
Did she say anything else?
"No, but I asked her to personally handle the child's funeral arrangements in the end, so that it would be a proper ending."
Han Xi listened with a sigh, wondering what kind of person could be so heartless.
She ignored her child's serious illness, showing no concern even at this time. Is she really that heartless?
Shen Jiheng said, "If I let her go, I would be letting down all these years of foolish sacrifices."
Considering that Gu Hongyi has been pleading for Gu Hanxi lately in hopes of a reduced sentence, today's events will likely cause more trouble.
However, Gu Hanxi has committed many evils, and this is the punishment she deserves.
Han Xi knew she couldn't stop him, so she didn't say anything more.
"I won't interfere in this matter; you can decide for yourself."
Although Shen Jiheng initially blamed her, he was also grateful that she spoke up at the last minute.
"Thank you for telling me, and for speaking up for me just now."
Han Xi crossed her arms and said, "I didn't help you for nothing. I need you to do me another favor."
Han Xi took the initiative to ask him for help, and Shen Jiheng was a little interested, asking curiously, "What could it be that made you ask?"
Han Xi originally wanted Gu Beichen to help her, but she was afraid that he would tell her grandparents, and then they would be worried every day.
When Han Xi recounted what happened in the parking lot earlier that day, Shen Jiheng's expression immediately changed.
I thought it was a company matter, but I didn't expect it to involve her safety. This can't be taken lightly.
Shen Jiheng immediately took out his phone, but Han Xi quickly stopped him when she saw the number he dialed.
What are you doing?
"Call the police! This could be a big or small matter. What if they're kidnappers?"
Shen Jiheng seemed to be traumatized; the thought of someone following Han Xi made her panic, and she didn't want to repeat the tragic events of that year.
Han Xi noticed that he seemed even more nervous than when he was threatened by Shen Qingzhou earlier, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of place she held in this man's heart.
"What I wanted to tell you is that if they want to capture me, they will definitely try again if they don't succeed. I'll have you set up an ambush, and I'll act as bait to lure out the person behind the scenes."
"no!"
Han Xi had barely finished speaking when Shen Jiheng refuted him, saying that he would not agree to anything that was dangerous for Han Xi.
Han Xi frowned: "Then what do you suggest we do? Even if we find out who was following us today, what if they refuse to talk, or they're just doing their jobs for money and don't know who's behind it all? We'll just be alerting them."
Shen Jiheng remained silent, fearing that Han Xi might get hurt again.
Han Xi said earnestly, "As long as your people track me down in time, find the hideout, and take action when the person behind the scenes appears, I will be fine."
Shen Jiheng sighed: "Can't we try another method?"
"This is the most convenient and effective method at present. Can you think of a better method in a short period of time?"
Han Xi didn't want to delay. Since there was a situation, he wanted to figure it out to avoid any unforeseen complications.
Shen Jiheng thought for a moment and nodded. He wasn't afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves eyeing him.
Waiting any longer is not a solution; Han Xi's suggestion makes sense.
"Alright, to avoid losing track of you, I need to put a tracker on you to make sure you're safe."
"That's no problem."
"It would be best to implant a chip under your skin. Go to the tech company tomorrow, and I'll have the CTO arrange it for you."
Han Xi sighed, thinking that Shen Jiheng was being too meticulous, making it seem like he was about to do something big.
Han Xi initially wanted to refuse, but seeing his serious demeanor, she knew he wouldn't agree unless she did, so she had no choice but to nod.
"Alright then, I'll come over tomorrow morning. There's something else I need to do."
Shen Jiheng frowned, sensing that Han Xi had brought quite a lot of things with her today.
He nodded patiently: "Go ahead, is there anything else?"
Han Xi asked seriously, "What have you thought about the matter I told you yesterday, about arranging for Grandma and Grandpa Bo to meet?"
Shen Jiheng frowned again. It was all because of Shen Qingzhou's matter that his thoughts had been disrupted and he hadn't seriously considered this issue yet.
Seeing Han Xi's expectant gaze, he countered with a question: "Do you really want them to meet?"
Han Xi nodded: "Yes, I sincerely hope they can meet. If Grandpa blames me in the future, I will take the blame."
Shen Jiheng gave a wry smile. He wasn't worried about being blamed, but rather that the two had different viewpoints.
Of course, as a person deeply in love, he also knows the pain of unrequited love, which is why he would give in.
"I'll take responsibility for anything that happens. I'm fine with this. You can arrange it yourself."
Han Xi nodded happily, "Shen Jiheng, this is the best thing you've ever done. How about I go to the old house and talk to Grandma so they can meet tomorrow afternoon?"
Shen Jiheng smiled indulgently and said, "Judging from your reaction, you probably already made arrangements with the Bo family."
Unexpectedly, he saw through this, but Shen Jiheng's reaction was not anger, but a helpless smile.
This way of getting along seems pretty good.
Today, Shen Jiheng's performance made Han Xi realize that he is actually a very sensitive and kind person.
"Thank you, Shen Jiheng."
Shen Jiheng looked at her, puzzled: "What are you thanking me for?"
Han Xi smiled but remained silent, thanking him for not disappointing her again. His change made Han Xi very gratified.
Shen Jiheng was worried about her safety and personally escorted Han Xi to the old house. He didn't want to face the matter, so he let Han Xi talk to the old lady herself, while he had more important things to do.
Han Xi saw the anger on his face and knew that he was definitely going to settle accounts with Gu Hanxi. What this woman had to face, she couldn't escape.
Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes; you can't get away with it by hiding them.
However, Gu Hanxi would definitely blame her for revealing the secret, but Han Xi could bear that. In order to help Shen Jiheng break free from his constraints, she did not regret her decision.
Shen Jiheng did indeed arrive at the prison. Recalling Gu Hanxi's deception, he felt an urge to strangle the woman.
