Chapter 366 Betting with one's life
Han Xi calmly said, "You feel wronged now, but when you did these things back then, why didn't you think about the consequences? Although he instigated it, you are the one who really did the evil."
Bai Xue clutched her head and shook it violently, saying in anguish, "I want to get rid of you, I've always wanted to get rid of you, but I have neither the courage nor the ability."
Someone like her, who has the desire to steal but lacks the courage, naturally becomes a weapon for those with ulterior motives.
Bo Siye exploited her jealousy and used her as a pawn to harm Han Xi.
"You didn't know any of the people who kidnapped me back then, nor do you know where they went."
Bai Xue shook her head: "He arranged for them all to come. I don't know them at all. He also took care of things afterwards. I don't know where they went. I tried to find out where these people are."
When asked about finding her, she quickly added, "I remember he once mentioned that these are fugitives fleeing from various countries, and they'll do anything as long as you pay them."
Shen Jiheng had anticipated this situation; if it were a normal person with real status, they would have found them long ago.
Because these people are like rats, often hiding in their holes and committing crimes all over the country, finding them is no easy task.
"How are you feeling staying here now!"
Bai Xue raised her blank head and stared at her, spitting out each word slowly and deliberately.
"Life is worse than death!"
Seeing the hatred and resentment in her eyes, Han Xi walked over and said, "I can give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you complete the task, you will be free, but it may endanger your life. Will you do it or not?"
Bai Xue's eyes shone brightly. From the moment her bad deeds were exposed, she already knew the outcome and never thought she could regain her freedom from Shen Jiheng.
She asked excitedly, "I'll do anything you ask."
Han Xi said, "Just as you plotted to rob an old lady to escape punishment, and even got stabbed while trying to save her, I now want you to show that same determination."
Hearing this, Bai Xue already knew how dangerous the situation was, but she nodded without hesitation.
Rather than being locked up here for life, I'd rather risk my life for freedom.
She nodded vigorously: "I'll listen to you."
Looking at her like this, Shen Jiheng was filled with emotion. The innocent, gentle, and kind Bai Xue in his mind had now turned into this.
He thought he had seen countless people and could see through their hearts, but over the years he trusted the wrong people and lost the people he should have cherished.
His regretful gaze fell on Han Xi. This time, he would never let go of her hand again.
Sensing the strange gaze, Han Xi looked over and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I've become vicious too?"
Shen Jiheng smiled calmly, "I just regret why I let go of your hand back then."
Han Xi was both amused and exasperated, having no idea what he was thinking at a time like this.
She covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Let's put our business aside for now and deal with the immediate problem first."
Seeing the smile on her lips, Shen Jiheng understood that all the unpleasantness of the past was over.
He was glad that Han Xi finally came back to his side, and that she was able to let go of the past and accept him again.
No matter what he encounters in the future, he will protect Han Xi to the death.
"Tell me what I should do next," Bai Xue said impatiently.
Han Xi regained his seriousness and said earnestly, "I'll have you pretend to escape from here, and then pretend to go abroad to blackmail Bo Siye. He's afraid you'll testify, so he'll definitely fall for it and give you money to run away."
Shen Jiheng understood her meaning and added, "With this person's vicious heart, he would naturally not leave any harm behind. He will definitely get rid of you to prevent future troubles."
A hint of worry flashed across Bai Xue's face; this was indeed a life-or-death gamble.
Han Xi added, "From the moment you leave here, all your movements will be under our control, but we cannot guarantee your life. The purpose of doing this is simply to obtain evidence of Bo Siye's murder."
Bai Xue swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded again.
“I understand. I’m willing to go, no matter how difficult it is, even if I die, I want to settle things with him.”
Having done so much, Bai Xue has seen through everything and is determined not to let Bo Siye, that despicable person, get away with it.
Everything went as Han Xi expected; for freedom, she was willing to take this risk.
"I'll arrange everything later, you just need to be careful."
Bai Xue asked again and again, "As long as I survive his clutches, you won't pursue what I did before, and you'll let me go, right?"
Han Xi and Shen Jiheng exchanged a glance, then nodded.
"Yes, whether you can be reborn depends on yourself."
"I will survive!"
Seeing her determination, Han Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everyone worked together, they couldn't possibly fail to defeat him.
Bai Xue walked up to Shen Jiheng and bowed deeply.
"Brother Ji Heng, I'm really sorry for lying to you so much. I want to take this opportunity to atone for my sins. If I'm lucky enough to survive, I will definitely live an honest and down-to-earth life."
Bai Xue knew how dangerous this plan was. If Bo Siye acted immediately, she was afraid she wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
But at least this provides evidence of his murder, which helps bring the bad guy to justice.
Shen Jiheng said, "Since you're so aware of this, then live on!"
Bai Xue nodded, moved by his encouragement, and replied with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for giving me another chance. I will do my best."
Han Xi noticed that she had changed a lot, so she must have understood what had happened while she was locked up.
After making arrangements with Shen Jiheng, she left, leaving the rest to fate.
When she left, Shen Jiheng noticed her serious expression, and she remained silent after getting into the car.
He took Han Xi's hand and asked, "Are you worried?"
Han Xi leaned on his shoulder, sighed, and said, "I'm wondering if what I did was right. It seems like I have a vengeful feeling. At least when I first thought of it, I didn't care about Bai Xue's life or death."
How could Han Xi possibly have any sympathy for someone who had repeatedly tried to harm him?
She didn't know if she had ulterior motives and wanted to get rid of her in this way.
It's impossible for her not to hate Bai Xue.
Shen Jiheng patted her head and laughed, "I believe you wouldn't treat human life as a joke. Anyone would feel anger when facing an enemy who has hurt them."
Han Xi sighed and said, "But my plan is indeed very dangerous. In addition, Bo Siye has long been determined to kill her. If we try to extort her at this time, her chances of survival are slim."
Even if she manages to escape, there's absolutely no way she'll come back unharmed.
Shen Jiheng comforted her, "Isn't that why you made her risk her life? She knows the situation better than you do. Since she agreed, it means she's prepared."
The things Bai Xue did deserved her death a thousand times over; Han Xi could never forgive her in this lifetime.
Giving her this opportunity now serves two purposes: first, to allow her to atone for her sins, and second, to convict Bo Siye and ensure that those who have made mistakes receive the punishment they deserve.
Han Xi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Whether she lives or dies next depends on her fate."
Shen Jiheng nodded, thought for a moment, and asked curiously, "There's something I'm not sure if I should ask."
