Chapter 374 Being Outmaneuvered
Bai Xue poisoned the water in advance in order to get rid of Bo Siye, but little did she know that this person had already seen through it and was now holding her hand and making her drink it.
Gu Hongyi stood in front of them, confused about the situation. But seeing the look in their eyes, he realized something was amiss.
"Bai Xue, I'm asking you a question. What exactly is going on with you guys?"
Bai Xue looked towards the door and urged, "I told you not to get involved, hurry up and go!"
It was because of his presence that his performance was affected. By leaving Gu Hongyi behind, Bo Siye was essentially being left with a hostage.
The more she acted like this, the more uneasy Gu Hongyi became.
He stepped forward and grabbed Bo Siyue's shoulder, scolding, "You bastard, let go of her right now, or I'll hit her."
Bo Siye laughed and said, "Uncle, there's no need to be so nervous. I just suspect she poisoned the water. As long as she drinks a sip to prove her innocence, I'll let her go."
After saying that, he shook Bai Xue's hand to indicate, "I'm sure I was right, Bai Xue!"
Bai Xue tried to pull her hand back, but he held it too tightly and she couldn't.
Gu Hongyi pressed further, "Is what he said true? Did you add something to the water?"
Bai Xue's face was grim; she had no way out.
On the other side, Shen Jiheng's expression was complicated when he saw what was happening in the room. If he rushed in now, not only would he not be able to punish Bo Siye, but all his plans would be ruined, and Bai Xue's suffering all day would be in vain.
If this situation is allowed to continue, who knows what might happen.
Qin Chuan pushed open the door and came in, reporting, "President, we found out that Bo Siye actually called the police."
Shen Jiheng frowned: "Call the police?"
Why did he call the police?!
"According to the information provided by the police station, Bo Siye said that someone wanted to kill him."
"It seems he had long suspected something was amiss, or perhaps he knew Bai Xue inside and out, even anticipating what she was going to do."
"Should we try to stop him? Mr. Gu is still in the room. If we really make a move, it might be dangerous."
Shen Jiheng tapped his fingers, losing his sense of the current situation.
Just then, the phone in my pocket rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Han Xi calling. Could it be that he already knew the situation here?
He looked at Qin Chuan, waved his phone, and asked, "Have you already told her everything that's happening here?"
Qin Chuan shook his head: "No, Miss Han hasn't contacted me either."
Shen Jiheng waved for him to go down first, then took a breath and answered the call.
"Why did you think of calling me?"
"Ji Heng, did my uncle go to see Bai Xue? My brother just called me and said he went to the international airport hotel. What's going on?"
The Gu family has been in turmoil lately, and Gu Hongyi is their pillar of strength; he absolutely cannot be allowed to make a mistake.
Shen Jiheng truthfully replied, "He is in Bai Xue's room."
"How could this be? Could it be Bo Siye's doing again? Is he trying to use my uncle as a hostage?"
Han Xi's urgent voice made Shen Jiheng even more cautious about the matter. If something really went wrong, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Han Xi.
"That should be the case; they haven't made a move yet."
"Then cancel the plan. No matter what, we can't involve Uncle. There's still a chance to deal with Bo Siye."
Although Han Xi wanted to deal with Bo Siye, her family was more important to her than revenge.
"Don't worry, I'll listen to you and go get him out right away."
However, as soon as Shen Jiheng finished speaking, Bai Xue swiftly pulled a dagger from her pocket and stabbed Bo Siye in the surveillance footage. She had gone to great lengths to get rid of this person.
Bo Siye hurriedly retreated and hid behind the sofa. Shen Jiheng could tell at a glance that he was pretending on purpose.
For skilled fighters like them, a woman who doesn't know martial arts can easily subdue them with either speed or power, without them even needing to dodge.
But Bo Siyue reacted with panic and dodged, could it be that he wanted to...?
Shen Jiheng understood his intention and immediately opened the door to give the order.
"Quickly, rush to Bai Xue's room right now."
Bo Siye must have known there were surveillance cameras in the room, and he wanted to pretend to be a victim in self-defense in order to kill Bai Xue.
If he succeeds, he can easily eliminate this time bomb; if he fails, he still has Gu Hongyi as a hostage. In short, Shen Jiheng can't do anything to him.
Shen Jiheng never expected that even at this point, he would still be tricked by Bo Siye.
In the end, he was still more despicable and ruthless than her.
Shen Jiheng led his men to Bai Xue's door in the shortest possible time, and kicked it open without even knocking.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, and at the same time, a dagger was seen stabbing into Bai Xue's chest.
Gu Hongyi's hands were still in mid-air, clearly intending to pull the two apart. Before he could even shout, Bai Xue collapsed onto Bo Siye.
"White...Snow White..."
The scene before them was Bo Siyue lying on the ground, with Bai Xue sitting on him, trying to stab him with a dagger. Bo Siyue's actions were entirely a form of self-defense to prevent himself from being killed.
Bo Siye turned to look at Shen Jiheng at the door, a smug smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.
He said in a sad tone, "I'm sorry you're late."
Shen Jiheng gritted his teeth and rushed forward, but then he heard police sirens downstairs. That's why he came alone; he didn't need anyone else to solve this big problem.
Gu Hongyi saw Bai Xue convulsing and reached out to support her with trembling hands. When he saw blood gushing from her mouth, he trembled with anxiety.
"Bai Xue, hang in there, I'll take you to the hospital."
In his state of extreme tension, his hands trembled uncontrollably, yet he couldn't lift him up no matter what he did, and could only cast a pleading look at Shen Jiheng.
"Ji Heng, call an ambulance quickly, Bai Xue is injured."
Shen Jiheng squatted down and picked her up. He saw that the dagger in her chest was right in front of her heart. Bo Siye had calculated it precisely.
Bo Siye also stood up in a panic, pretending to be at a loss, and nervously recounted his story while waving his hands.
“I didn’t mean to. Uncle, you saw her poison me and then suddenly pull out a knife to kill me. I kept dodging, but she wouldn’t give up. I only fought back in desperation to protect myself.”
Gu Hongyi glared at him fiercely with bloodshot eyes. Although that was what he said, he knew that things were definitely not like that.
Bai Xue looked at Shen Jiheng in front of her with reddened eyes, coughed twice and said weakly, "I'm sorry, I messed up again. This person is even more despicable than we thought. We can't deal with him at all."
"Don't say anything, just go to the hospital."
Shen Jiheng looked at Qin Chuan, but before he could speak, the police had already arrived, and their plan to arrest Bo Siye had failed.
Bo Siyue became very agitated and hurriedly shouted, "Officers, you've come at the right time! She was trying to kill me, and I accidentally injured her in self-defense. There are witnesses here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hongyi seemed to understand something. He moved in front of Bo Siye, grabbed his collar, and questioned him angrily.
"You're the one who told me to come here, right? Just so I could watch these shows and be your witness."
Gu Hongyi now understood why Bai Xue kept telling him to leave.
