Chapter 371 We're Just Kidding
Hearing Shen Jiheng say that he believed in him, Han Xi stroked his face and smiled, "Then will you blame me for slandering her? To tell you the truth, I slapped myself just now."
Shen Jiheng chuckled, his handsome face displaying a captivating smile.
He slowly leaned down, pretending to be serious.
"You lied to me like this, what method should I use to punish you?"
Han Xi hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him on the cheek, smiling as she said, "Is this enough?"
Shen Jiheng's eyes shone brightly. Han Xi was becoming more and more lively, which won his heart.
"It seems like it's still a little short."
This time, Han Xi pressed her lips directly against his. The moment she let go, she saw the look in Shen Jiheng's eyes that could devour her.
"Is this okay now?"
Shen Jiheng's tender gaze could melt her heart. Han Xi knew that this couldn't continue, so she hurriedly reached out to push him away.
Shen Jiheng grasped her hands and said with a wicked smile, "You've only just realized it, but it's too late. I'm going to punish the person who made me worry just now."
Before he finished speaking, his thin lips had already covered hers.
Han Xi gently patted his back, taking advantage of the moment to remind him.
"This is an office, and the door isn't locked."
"Don't worry, no one will come in."
Shen Jiheng grabbed her flailing hands, and just as he was about to take the next step, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and the doorknob began to turn.
The moment the door was pushed open, Han Xi used all his might to push him away.
When Leng Yu came in, he saw Han Xi sitting on the sofa looking flustered, her hair somewhat disheveled, and Shen Jiheng's displeased expression at being disturbed, which seemed to indicate something.
She awkwardly took a step back.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I've interrupted your good time."
Han Xi beckoned her in, "It's nothing, we were just joking around, what's the matter?"
“You asked me to investigate Jefferson’s recent whereabouts yesterday, and I did find out that he went to the Bo Group. There’s also another new discovery.”
Leng Yu handed over the photo in her hand as she spoke.
"Mr. Han, look, our people filmed Tang Yi meeting with Jefferson. Do you think there might be collusion between them?"
Han Xi examined the photos carefully and confirmed that Tang Yi had indeed met with him privately. Could there really be something wrong?
Shen Jiheng crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed, and said, "I've investigated Tang Yi's background. She has never had any dealings with Jefferson before, so there shouldn't be any collusion between them."
Leng Yu pointed out, "Then how does it make sense that she appeared near the other party's company and met with him?"
The fact that such a problem occurred when the new perfume was about to be launched, and that the lead researcher was involved at such a crucial time, certainly raises serious suspicion.
Shen Jiheng analyzed, "Tang Yi is a passionate person. He must be furious that his formula was plagiarized. If I'm not mistaken, he must have found some clues and went to confront the other party."
Han Xi agreed with this statement and chimed in, "Ji Heng is right. I believe she will come to me and explain this matter."
Seeing that the two trusted Tang Yi so much, she didn't say much and nodded, saying, "Then I will continue to arrange for people to follow them, and report back if there are any new developments."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Han Xi knew that she was doing this entirely for his own good, but she also believed that Tang Yi was a person who wouldn't do such a thing.
If it weren't for Tang Yi's reminder, who knows how many of Han Shu Group's formulas would have been leaked.
After Tang Yi closed the door, Shen Jiheng pulled her into his arms.
"We haven't finished what we were doing yet, let's continue."
Han Xi slapped his arm, both amused and exasperated, and frowned, saying, "I'm not in the mood right now. Didn't you see another problem arise?"
Shen Jiheng pinched her chin and said, "There are all sorts of problems every day, how can we solve them all? So the most important thing is to enjoy life while we can."
Han Xi shook his head helplessly; this person was indeed unconventional.
"That's completely fallacious reasoning."
Even if it's fallacy, you have to accept it.
After saying that, he ignored her objections, cupped her face and kissed her again. Today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't interfere with her.
However, things didn't go as planned. Just as Shen Jiheng unbuttoned his coat, the phone rang in his pocket.
His brows furrowed so tightly he wanted to smash his phone, but when he saw it was Qin Chuan calling, he realized something was wrong.
Han Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You should do your job first. I'm not going anywhere, but it won't do if things get delayed."
Shen Jiheng rubbed his forehead in annoyance, answered the phone and asked unhappily, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
"President, Bo Siyue has arranged to meet Miss Bai at a hotel near the international airport tonight and has also booked her a flight abroad tonight."
"No set time."
"At 9:30 p.m., our people had already infiltrated and deployed at this hotel."
Now that the moment has finally arrived, Shen Jiheng is eager to see how Bo Siye will escape this time.
"Make sure to contact the hotel in advance to avoid any problems later."
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiheng's expression changed slightly. Han Xi asked curiously, "Are you worried about Bai Xue's safety? If you're really worried, you can cancel the plan."
Bo Siye will definitely find a way to get rid of Bai Xue; her chances of retaliating are slim.
If something goes wrong, Snow White could really die.
"After all, we've known each other for so many years, and I don't want to see her suffer a tragic end. But she has done so many wrong things, and she should atone for them with her actions."
The mistakes Bai Xue made were unforgivable sins, and now that she is willing to pay for them in this way, she should be given this opportunity.
Han Xi nodded: "Since we've come this far, don't overthink it. We'll see how things go tonight."
Shen Jiheng smiled faintly, stood up, straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, and stylishly loosened his tie.
"That's enough for today. I'll make it up to you after I finish what I'm doing."
Han Xi was amused by him and pushed his shoulder, saying, "Okay, now Young Master Shen, go and get on with your business. We'll contact you later."
Han Xi knew that he was actually very worried about Bai Xue's situation. It was a matter of life and death and could not be taken lightly. Only by letting him personally make arrangements could he feel at ease.
Shen Jiheng walked to the door, turned back to look at her, and paused, as if he wanted to say something.
Han Xi cast a curious glance at him and deliberately walked up to him. In the end, Shen Jiheng didn't say anything, but instead leaned over and kissed her cheek.
What's wrong with him?!
Han Xi sighed, not wanting to think too much about it. He would tell himself when he wanted to. Just as she was about to return to her desk, someone called her back.
"Han Xi~"
The voice she hadn't heard in so long made her frown. Han Xi turned around, and Han Yue walked up to her with great interest.
"Han Xi, why didn't you reply to my message? I happened to be passing by the company, so I came up to see you."
Recently, Han Yue has been acting strangely, sending messages every day to inquire about Han Chuang's situation.
Previously, after learning about Han Chuang's background, he resolutely drove him away, but suddenly he acted like a concerned father, leaving Han Xi unable to figure out his thoughts.
"I have a lot of work to do, so tell me what you need quickly."
"I'm here today to discuss something with you."
