Chapter 248 Trusting His Character
Shen Jiheng originally wanted to help Han Xi resolve the case as soon as possible using his own methods, but she insisted on taking the proper route to find real witnesses, so he could only respect her wishes.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, but thinking about the case at hand, Han Xi didn't have much of an appetite.
Shen Jiheng thoughtfully served her some food, comforting her, "You've been working a lot lately, you won't have the energy if you don't eat enough."
"You've thought of everything, thank you."
Han Xi knew perfectly well that Shen Jiheng was revolving around her, even venturing into areas outside his own sphere just to stay by her side, and she was very grateful.
Everyone has their own way of doing things. If she doesn't want to take this crooked path, then there is no justice to speak of.
"How is the situation with the Shen family? Have they calmed down?"
Now that Ding Shan has been sent to a mental hospital for treatment and has a mental illness assessment in hand, even if the Shen family wants to sue her, it's useless, as the court will not accept such a case.
Moreover, with Gu Hongyi and his son protecting her, it won't be easy for the Shen family to touch her.
Shen Jiheng replied, "Things have basically settled down, but my uncle's family still won't give up, and they've led several families in serious situations to sue the Gu family."
“I thought of that too. I heard his grandson hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet, so he must be anxious and angry.”
As a mother, Han Xi could completely understand this feeling. If her own family members were in this situation, they wouldn't let it go either.
After all, Ding Shan harmed so many people; a mental evaluation alone cannot solve the problem.
"I will keep this under wraps, you don't need to worry."
"Don't interfere. Let them do what they want. Whatever the outcome, listen to the judge's decision."
Han Xi didn't want him to go against his family for her sake; if something happened, she would become a sinner for all time.
Shen Jiheng frowned and said, "You stayed in the Shen family for three years, so you should have heard about what's going on inside the family. They've been eyeing the headquarters for a long time, and this time they want to use this incident to turn against me and try to divide up the assets."
Han Xi had naturally heard many rumors, but at that time Shen Jiheng always avoided her and never talked about family matters.
Following this poisoning incident, the Shen family has become turbulent and has demanded that Shen Jiheng hand over Ding Shan and give everyone an explanation.
Furthermore, some people pointed the finger at Han Xi, believing that she harbored resentment towards the Shen family and wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate.
The fact that the birthday cakes were brought to the birthday banquet in her name is inextricably linked to this matter.
Han Xi said gravely, "Do they want to use this to start a war with you?"
Shen Jiheng nodded: "That's exactly right. They just need an excuse, so we have to suppress it."
Han Xi said worriedly, "I'm afraid that things will turn out the other way around and cause you trouble."
Shen Jiheng shrugged. He had encountered countless troubles before, but he still didn't take these to heart.
He chuckled and said, "Compared to dealing with these things, I think it's more difficult to win you back."
Han Xi was amused by him and understood that he didn't want her to worry.
"Don't hide anything from me, after all, it involves the Gu family."
"With me here, I won't let this fire spread to the Gu family."
As Shen Jiheng spoke, he put more food on her plate. Han Xi felt safe and secure because of him.
After dinner, Shen Jiheng took her to the hospital where Bo Siye was. He originally planned to accompany her inside, but Qin Chuan called him back when they reached the entrance.
Judging from the change in his expression as he left, I wonder what happened this time.
Han Xi heard arguing coming from the ward while she was still in the corridor. She quickly went in and saw that Yan Si was there again, and she was even grabbing Bo Siye's arm.
Han Xi immediately stepped forward and pulled her hand away, angrily asking, "Miss Yan, why are you causing trouble again? Do you only feel satisfied when I call the police?"
Han Xi saw that her eyes were filled with tears and her face was full of sadness, wondering what kind of act she was putting on now.
Bo Siyue looked furious and pointed to the door, saying, "You really are shameless. You think you can move me with a few tears? I already told you, there is no such thing as a USB drive."
Yan Si sobbed, "The day after tomorrow is the final deadline. If we can't prove that the overseas company was framed, it will be shut down and the accounts will be permanently frozen. Zhou Ge and I will go bankrupt and be left with a mountain of debt."
As she spoke, Yan Si walked up to Han Xi, spread her hands in despair, and said with tears in her eyes, "We will have nothing left, and all of this is thanks to Bo Siye."
Han Xi retorted, "If you want to blame someone, you should blame Shen Qingzhou for all the bad things he's done. This is just his retribution."
Han Xi couldn't understand why Shen Qingzhou didn't take matters into his own hands and instead repeatedly had this woman step in.
Yan Si gritted her teeth and asked, "What about Shen Jiheng? Can he just stand by and watch his father go bankrupt without doing anything?"
Han Xi didn't want to discuss such useless topics with her. She didn't get involved in the Shen family's internal affairs. She pointed to the door and reminded Yan Si with her eyes that it was time to go out.
Bo Siye also spoke up: "Today is the last time I will tolerate you appearing in my hospital room. If it happens again, I will send you straight to prison."
Yan Si clenched her fists, glared at the two of them, and stormed off.
Han Xi immediately closed the door and turned back to ask worriedly, "Si Ye, where are your aunt and the others? And the caregiver I found for you, how can we let Yan Si cause trouble in your ward? What if she hurts you?"
Before leaving yesterday, Han Xi specifically instructed the caregiver not to let outsiders get close, but unexpectedly, she ran into Yan Si again when she came back.
Seeing her anxious expression, Bo Siye smiled and said, "My aunt and the others went out to eat. The caregiver was there too, so I told him to go back and rest first."
Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward. Seeing that he looked a little better, she felt somewhat comforted.
"How are you feeling? Does the wound still hurt?"
"I felt a bit when they changed the dressing. The doctor said the inflammation hadn't subsided yet and I'd need to get IV drips for the next few days."
Han Xi nodded slightly, then frowned upon seeing a stack of folders on the bedside table and asked, "Have you already started handling official business?"
Bo Siye nodded with a wry smile: "You know there are a lot of things to do when the base starts construction, and some documents require my signature. It's no big deal, I'll just take a look when I have a spare moment."
Han Xi knew he was busy; if it weren't for the delay in rescuing her, he would still be busy at the base right now.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
Bo Siye shook his head: "It's also possible that God wants me to rest, and this is the only way."
"I feel ashamed that you comforted me with such words."
"Then think about it on a positive note. For example, I survived a great calamity and I'm bound to have good fortune in the future. Plus, we still have time to see each other every day, and I can rest for a while. It's not a bad thing."
Bo Siye has always been so warm-hearted, which is why Han Xi firmly believes that he is a good person and does not believe that he would do something heinous.
"Siye, you are the gentlest person I know. I hope you get better soon."
Bo Siye smiled and said, "Then do you believe that Aunt Ding's poisoning has nothing to do with me?"
Han Xi had some doubts before, but now she believed that he, who was willing to sacrifice himself to save others, would never do such a thing.
