Chapter 173 He deserved it.
Shen Jiheng considered countless possibilities in his mind. Perhaps Gu Hanxi really was just taking the child to look for them because she couldn't find them and got lost somewhere else.
Or perhaps she didn't want to go back to prison, so she ran away with Shen Tongtong.
Or perhaps Shen Tongtong wanted to go somewhere else to play, and she didn't have her phone to notify her.
In short, Shen Jiheng never thought the worst. After all, this was the child's last moment, and he wanted to leave behind the best memories.
However, now that he sees the child he has carefully raised die in such a place, clearly abandoned, how can he let it go?
Han Xi ran forward and was shocked to see this scene. Judging from the situation, the wind must have blown away the leaves covering their heads to reveal their heads; otherwise, they would not have noticed them at all.
Shen Jiheng knelt down on one knee and picked up the child, who was still warm to the touch. Although he had been angry after learning that the child was not his relative, at this moment, his heart was breaking.
"Tongtong~"
Shen Jiheng called out softly, but he could no longer hear that sensible child calling him "uncle".
"Tongtong, did you hear what your uncle said?"
He had hoped to create a beautiful memory, but it became a painful one that Shen Jiheng could never forget for the rest of his life.
Han Xi took a deep breath, stepped forward, squatted down beside him, checked the child's breathing, and said heavily, "Please accept my condolences, he is gone."
Shen Jiheng knew the child would leave, and he was mentally prepared.
But the current situation is so heartbreaking that he finds it unacceptable.
Shen Jiheng picked up the child and stood up, gritting his teeth as he said, "Immediately notify Qin Chuan and have everyone mobilize to hunt down Gu Hanxi. We must find her alive or dead."
Gu Hanxi's performance today had already changed Shen Jiheng's hatred. As long as she could properly send the child away and handle the funeral arrangements, Shen Jiheng would retract his punishment of her.
However, she remained incorrigible and even went so far as to commit such heinous acts, which Shen Jiheng could not forgive and was determined to kill her.
Han Xi knew the situation was serious. As a mother, she couldn't bear to see her treat her child in such a cruel way.
She called Qin Chuan to explain the situation and asked him to immediately send people to search for her.
Seeing his guilty expression, Han Xi comforted him, "Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. Your intentions were good. Even we outsiders were deceived, let alone you."
Who would have thought that Gu Hanxi's tearful remorse, her displayed sadness and maternal love, would deceive everyone?
Shen Jiheng's original intention was simply to prevent the poor child from having any regrets, but he did not expect to fall into Gu Hanxi's trap.
“She was only gone for five or six minutes. This location is a bit far from several exits, and she probably hadn’t been here before and couldn’t have found the exit in time. Plus, she was hiding the child on the way, so she probably hasn’t run out yet.”
Han Xi's analysis gave him hope, and under her persuasion, he agreed to take the child back to the ambulance and let the nurses look after him while he went to arrest the person himself.
Shen Jiheng's face was cold, his eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent.
He had shown the same expression to Shen Qingzhou last time. If Han Xi hadn't snatched the sculpture from his hand, that man would probably be meeting his maker.
At this moment, he must have wanted to eliminate Gu Hanxi with his own hands.
Han Xi also wanted to ask her in person what she was thinking when she abandoned her child in such a place.
"Han Xi, whatever I'm going to do later, you mustn't stop me, okay!"
Han Xi hesitated for a moment before nodding, understanding Shen Jiheng's feelings at this moment. If he wasn't allowed to vent, he might suffer for the rest of his life.
"Okay, I promise you, but I also hope you'll think about your own situation."
Shen Jiheng nodded, but Han Xi knew he hadn't listened at all.
Soon, Shen Jiheng's phone rang, and Qin Chuan quickly reported, "President, we have located her; she is in the direction of the East Gate."
Shen Jiheng looked at the roadside sign, gritted his teeth and said, "Great, we're in this direction. I'll go and block them right now. You come over here immediately."
Upon receiving the news, Shen Jiheng quickened his pace, determined to capture the person.
Han Xi felt uneasy, vaguely sensing that something was about to happen, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she could only follow closely behind Shen Jiheng.
When the two arrived at the East Gate, they indeed saw someone sneaking out. Although she had changed her clothes and was wearing a baseball cap, Shen Jiheng spotted her at a glance.
"Gu Hanxi, you stop right there!"
Gu Hanxi trembled upon hearing the angry voice, and without daring to stop, she turned and ran.
Shen Jiheng hurried forward, his mind focused on only one thing: he had to catch this woman.
Gu Hanxi ran out recklessly, not even noticing the cars speeding by on the road ahead. She knew that if Shen Jiheng caught her, she would surely die.
He thought running away would give him a new life, but he was discovered at the last moment.
Gu Hanxi refused to admit defeat and ignored the loudspeaker warning in her ear, preferring to take the risk rather than be dragged back by him.
Han Xi ran to the side of the road and stopped in fright. The traffic ahead was very fast. Gu Hanxi must be crazy to run forward like that.
Seeing Ji Heng walking towards the middle of the road, Han Xi called out anxiously, "Ji Heng, be careful! It's too dangerous! Come back quickly!"
Shen Jiheng's eyes were red with anger. He disregarded the danger before him and was determined not to let Gu Hanxi escape right under his nose.
Just as Gu Hanxi was about to reach the other side, Han Xi saw the road conditions ahead and shouted, "Gu Hanxi, stop! It's dangerous ahead, there's a car!"
From where Han Xi was, he could just see a large truck speeding towards him around the bend.
However, at this moment, how could Gu Hanxi possibly listen to her? Naturally, she thought it was a trick by Han Xi to make her stop.
Not only did she ignore it, she quickened her pace and rushed over.
Bang!
With a loud crash, Gu Hanxi was hit by the truck and sent flying several meters through the air, tracing an arc before crashing down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the screeching sound of brakes rang out, the whole world seemed to fall silent instantly.
It wasn't that the world had become quiet; rather, Gu Hanxi could no longer hear any sound. Her pupils were slowly shrinking, and the people in her vision were gradually disappearing, leaving only darkness.
Her body trembled, and blood kept spitting from her mouth, preventing her from making a sound.
"Gu Hanxi, you deserve to die, you're no match for us."
She could still hear voices; it was Shen Jiheng cursing at her. Gu Hanxi wanted to call for help; she didn't want to die yet.
Qin Chuan was also startled by what he saw, but thinking of what he had done to the young master, he angrily cursed, "This is a heinous crime, even God can't stand it, let him go to hell to make amends to the child."
Gu Hanxi's consciousness faded. She had schemed her whole life, and in the end, she wanted to take a gamble and use the child to escape. And this was indeed the outcome.
It must be that the child doesn't forgive her and wants to take her with him...
Han Xi sighed. This was wicked people getting their just desserts. She was courting death, and no one could stop her.
Shen Jiheng turned and left, instructing Qin Chuan to arrange for someone to handle the scene.
Han Xi took out her phone and hesitated for a while before deciding to call Gu Beichen. No matter how bad she was, now that she was dead, the Gu family had to find out.
