Chapter 208 Two Hearts Drawing Closer
Chang Long wasn't afraid of things escalating because Guan Ming was there to take the fall and stop him.
If things have truly reached a point of no return, then Guan Ming should step forward and confess his crimes; no one can punish him.
Shen Jiheng said, "I asked Director Guan to communicate with him in the hope of persuading him. If there is no breakthrough, we will release the video first."
Han Xi immediately objected: "No, although I also want to resolve the company's issues as soon as possible, once this video is released, all the blame will fall on Guan Ming. Even if we find other evidence, netizens may not believe it."
Shen Jiheng prioritized Han Xi's matter and did not consider what trouble it might cause Guan Ming.
Han Xi was afraid that once this was done, there would be no turning back, so he had to be careful with every step he took.
"But what's the current situation with your company...?"
“It’s okay, I can hold on. People have already died, and I don’t want this tragedy to happen again. You should understand how I feel.”
Although he didn't like Ai Bao'er, he didn't want her to die. This matter caused Han Xi considerable harm.
Shen Jiheng patted her shoulder and nodded: "You're right, I was thinking too one-sidedly. Let's wait for news first, and then think of other ways to break through."
Han Xi was still very grateful to him for going to great lengths for her. Now that she had this evidence, she felt half confident, as it could at least prove that Ai Bao'er's death was murder.
What we need to do now is get Guan Ming to talk, while also preventing him from foolishly taking the blame.
"Ji Heng, thank you for your hard work too."
Shen Jiheng leaned forward and said with a smile, "Considering how hard I've worked, shouldn't I get some kind of reward?"
Han Xi pushed his head away, saying with a headache, "I'll owe you for now. Right now, I'm preoccupied with figuring out how to solve the problem at hand."
Shen Jiheng rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Actually, there's another solution to this problem, though it's a bit underhanded."
Looking at Shen Jiheng's sly smile, you can tell he definitely has bad intentions.
At this critical juncture, Han Xi couldn't care less about anything else and asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "The reason why Guan Ming is so willing to risk his life is because he is grateful to Chang Long. As long as we turn that gratitude into hatred, things will change."
Judging from his confident expression, he must have already made up his mind.
"So what do you plan to do?"
"The Guan brothers are known for their good relationship. What do you think would happen if Chang Long found out that he filmed these scenes?"
Han Xi frowned and asked uneasily, "You want to leak this information to him? What if he sends someone to harm Director Guan?"
Shen Jiheng looked at her meaningfully, and Han Xi suddenly realized, "This is what you call a dirty trick, directly cutting off their lifeline and causing them to break up. Isn't that a bit ruthless?"
Judging from Han Xi's conversation with Chang Long today, this person definitely has psychological problems and his methods are even more vicious.
If they knew someone had the evidence, they would definitely take action.
"So it's a matter of taking a risk to win; we have no choice but to gamble."
Han Xi was caught in a dilemma. At that time, it would depend on whether Guan Ming loved his brother more or favored the boss who had saved his life.
However, the thought of what might happen still worried her, and she reminded him, "This is dangerous, and we must be fully prepared before we can carry it out."
"Of course, I'll arrange it right away if you agree."
"Instead of asking me, it's better to let the person involved decide for himself. I believe he also wants Guan Ming to get out of this predicament and stop doing evil for bad people."
Shen Jiheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll go find him now."
After Shen Jiheng finished speaking, he was about to leave when Han Xi stopped him. He looked down at the slender hand on his wrist with curiosity and looked at Han Xi with confusion.
She smiled faintly, "There's no rush. You've been running around all day and haven't even had lunch. There's a Western restaurant downstairs; I'll treat you."
Is the sun rising in the west?
Han Xi was so kind as to invite him to dinner, but judging from her expression, she didn't seem to want anything to happen.
Seeing his questioning expression, Han Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Stop your inner monologue. I just feel bad that you've been busy all day."
Shen Jiheng laughed heartily, "Then I'll thank you for your kind offer, President Han."
It's true that everything he says sounds different when it comes out of his mouth, and Han Xi regrets making this decision.
Seeing that she didn't move, Shen Jiheng grabbed her wrist and walked out. He didn't care about outsiders at all now.
Shen Jiheng could feel the change in Han Xi towards her; her cold heart was being melted little by little by him.
After lunch, Shen Jiheng insisted on taking her back to the company. As soon as they entered, they saw Peng Ling pacing back and forth in the lobby with a serious expression.
"Mr. Han, you're finally back."
"What now?"
A lot has happened in the past few days, but Han Xi has been able to face it calmly.
Peng Ling pointed to her office and said, "Xingtong Company just sent you an email asking you to attend Ai Bao'er's memorial service tomorrow."
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal; it could easily escalate into another controversy.
Shen Jiheng pulled Han Xi back to the office quickly, and sure enough, they saw the email when they turned on the computer.
Han Xi frowned and said angrily, "This person has no good intentions. Ai Bao'er's fans think I'm the murderer. Asking me to participate at this time would be like sending myself to my death."
Peng Ling nodded: "We all know that, and he has already announced to the media that you will also be participating. Many fans are cursing you, and some extreme netizens even said they would kill you to accompany the goddess in death."
This is clearly a trap. Whether Han Xi goes tomorrow or not, people will gossip about it.
It seems someone is behind this, and Chang Long wants to make a big fuss about Ai Bao'er's death.
Peng Ling said anxiously, "President Han, you absolutely must not go tomorrow, otherwise you will definitely be attacked."
Han Xi could have imagined this situation. She turned to look at Chen Jiheng and asked seriously, "When will we see results with the method you just mentioned?"
Shen Jiheng asked, puzzled, "What do you want to do?"
“I’m going to the memorial service tomorrow. These fans will make a huge fuss, and they’ll feel even more guilty after they find out the truth. I want Chang Long to suffer the consequences of his actions.”
Shen Jiheng broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head, saying, "This kind of thing is uncontrollable and carries great risks. I can't let you suffer like this."
Han Xi calmly said, "If you don't want me to suffer, then you should figure out the method you mentioned as soon as possible. I believe you can definitely help me turn the tide."
This was the first time Han Xi had given him such high praise, and Shen Jiheng was overjoyed.
He understood Han Xi's meaning: she wanted to exploit people's guilt and direct their final anger at Chang Long, thereby resolving all the problems facing the Han Shu Group.
"Okay, I agree to let you go, but it must be done under safe conditions. I will arrange for female bodyguards to accompany you. You must take them with you wherever you go."
Shen Jiheng couldn't let her take the risk alone; he had to minimize the danger.
