Chapter 209 He Wants a Reward
Ai Bao'er's condolence was undoubtedly a trap set specifically for Han Xi, and she would inevitably face many unknown risks if she went.
Shen Jiheng was definitely unwilling, but she insisted on going, so all he could do was minimize the danger.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid; Han Xi simply wanted to use this opportunity to change the situation.
Seeing that Shen Jiheng was even more nervous than she was, she smiled calmly and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. I'll also arrange for people to mingle in the fan group so they can step in immediately if there's any danger."
Shen Jiheng nodded. Time was of the essence, and he could not afford to delay any longer.
“I will proceed according to the plan. If he still chooses to pledge allegiance to Chang Long at the last minute, then I will have no choice but to resort to my last resort.”
When necessary, Shen Jiheng wouldn't care about morality; all he wanted was for Han Xi to be safe.
As for what trouble he might cause, let him bear it all alone.
Han Xi understood his meaning and said worriedly, "I understand that everything you do is for my own good, but if this matter is exposed, it will implicate the entire Guan family, while the culprit will still go unpunished."
Shen Jiheng held her shoulders and said, "But I can't let you be in danger. Also, I have to remind you that if this fire doesn't spread to other places, it will spread to the Gu family."
Han Xi looked at him in confusion, and Shen Jiheng took out his phone and handed it to him.
"Fans have been loitering outside the Gu family compound, as well as the Han family compound, but there's no one there, so the fans are disappointed."
Although Han Xi had heard of many extreme incidents involving fans, she still didn't quite understand the psychology of these people who would do such crazy things for an idol, even at the cost of hurting others.
"They are truly lawless."
“Some people place their emotional support on their idols, and with the added pressure from the outside world, things have turned out the way they are now. These fans are holding a grudge.”
Han Xi sighed, "I didn't expect that so many revelations wouldn't wake these people up."
"These kinds of people usually have psychological problems. They may not actually love their idols that much, but rather use such events to vent their dissatisfaction."
Han Xi had never stepped into this circle before, and only now that she has actually come into contact with it does she realize how terrifying it is.
“I understand what you mean. They are like keyboard warriors hiding behind a screen, and now they are doing evil in the name of fans.”
"Not only that, but I'm also worried that Chang Long might find someone to infiltrate and cause trouble. Han Xi, it's not too late for you to change your mind now."
He made the problem sound so serious; he was just trying to persuade me not to go.
Han Xi smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for your good news."
Shen Jiheng sighed. Since he couldn't persuade her to change her mind, he had no choice but to carry out his plan.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
Han Xi saw him to the door and noticed that his furrowed brows hadn't relaxed at all, so she gave him an encouraging smile.
Shen Jiheng took a few steps and then turned back, saying affectionately, "Han Xi, after this matter is resolved satisfactorily, you must promise me one thing."
Han Xi smiled wryly and said, "This is not the time to negotiate."
"It's not a condition, I want a reward." Shen Jiheng corrected her seriously.
Han Xi knew he wouldn't pressure her like he used to, and asked curiously, "What do you want?"
Shen Jiheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "You just need to nod, and I'll tell you when the time comes."
With such a serious expression, Han Xi couldn't bear to refuse.
I promise you.
Shen Jiheng raised his eyebrows and smiled broadly, finally giving him a glimmer of hope.
Han Xi felt uncomfortable with his smile and urged, "Don't waste time, hurry up and go."
It was rare to see a hint of shyness on Han Xi's face, and Shen Jiheng left with great satisfaction.
But as soon as he entered the elevator, the smile that had been on his face vanished, replaced by a cold expression.
Shen Jiheng clenched his fist. That damned Chang Long wanted to use this method to deal with Han Xi. If Han Xi hadn't wanted justice, he would have just eliminated this person to save himself from other troubles.
After leaving Han Shu Group, Shen Jiheng made two phone calls in a row. In order to ensure Han Xi's safety at the event tomorrow, he had to make full preparations.
Starcom Entertainment, CEO's Office.
Chang Long was still planning for tomorrow's event. Just as Shen Jiheng had guessed, he had arranged for a number of thugs and hooligans among these fans, so that if Han Xi appeared, she would never leave alive.
Anyway, with so many people around, it'll be hard to tell who's behind it, making it even more difficult to investigate.
His office door was suddenly knocked open urgently, and his assistant Guan Ming rushed in with a serious expression.
"Brother Long, something bad has happened."
Chang Long leaned back leisurely on the sofa. Now that no one was attacking Xingtong online anymore, there was nothing he was afraid of.
"What is it now?"
“My brother filmed the video of me pushing Bao’er downstairs that day.”
A fleeting look of panic flashed in Chang Long's eyes, but he quickly regained his smile.
“It is indeed a big deal, but what is there to worry about? Isn’t the other person your own brother? Would he really harm you?”
“You don’t understand my brother’s character. He’s always been upright and capable of betraying his own family for the greater good. Plus, he has some connection with Shen Jiheng. What if he hands over the video?”
This is quite serious. Chang Long can't laugh now. He stands up and walks to the window. That damned Shen Jiheng, why is he always picking on him?
"Are those videos still in your brother's possession? Has he handed them over?"
“I asked him, and he said he hadn’t yet. He wanted to persuade me to turn myself in and implicate Brother Long.”
Why is it another person who's not afraid of death trying to oppose him? He has to be forced to use poison.
Chang Long tentatively asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
Guan Ming stated unequivocally: "I will not betray Brother Long. If someone really gets hold of this video, I will admit that it is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with you."
Chang Long was very satisfied with his attitude. It was rare to have a loyal dog willing to die for him, and he didn't want to lose it.
So the ones who deserve to die are those who sabotage them.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you. Try to persuade your brother, and if that doesn't work..."
"No, Brother Long, I'm willing to take the blame and go to jail. I'll do anything you ask, but you absolutely cannot hurt my brother."
"But he's willing to sacrifice his own family for the greater good, and you're still protecting him."
You can only say he's stupid; otherwise, why would he have been working so hard for him all this time?
Guan Ming said, "We brothers depend on each other for survival. If I do something wrong, it is right for him to punish me. I can die, but no one can touch him, otherwise I will fight him to the death."
Chang Long patted him on the shoulder with a forced smile; he really was a stubborn mule.
"Okay, okay, I know you love your older brother and would never hurt him. I'll find a way to resolve this. I don't want to lose such a good assistant."
Chang Long comforted him and sent him away, determined not to let the video fall into Shen Jiheng's hands.
After a two-second pause, he immediately contacted the underground organization and asked them to send someone to the Guan family to steal the video and then get rid of Guan Zhihong, this menace. Only when he was gone would Guan Mingcai only listen to him in the future.
