Chapter 378 I'm afraid someone will be jealous
Han Xi did not want to defend Ding Shan's mistakes. Although she was used by Bo Siye, it was Ding Shan who took the actual actions.
However, the one who started this whole thing was Bo Siye, so he should bear the main responsibility.
Ding Shan should also accept her punishment; her sins cannot be erased simply by letting time pass.
“I think we don’t need to ask Attorney Ye to bail her out this time.”
Shen Jiheng looked puzzled, thinking that she was worried about Ding Shan's impending punishment, which was why she asked him to go back and talk to Shen Mu. He didn't expect her to ask him to recall Lawyer Ye.
"What are your thoughts? If she isn't released on bail, she will be detained today."
"Of course I know that, but it's a fact that she forged a mental illness assessment to escape punishment, and it's also a fact that she poisoned dozens of members of the Shen family. Aren't you going to investigate those?"
These words stumped Shen Jiheng. Of course he wanted to pursue the matter, but he hadn't done so because of Han Xi.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Han Xi said, "I know she was bewitched, but the crime is true, and she should be punished."
Shen Jiheng held Han Xi's hand and asked curiously, "Are you really serious? If this is investigated, she could go to jail."
Han Xi nodded: "I thought about this during the two hours I waited. If she hides, she will forever bear the stigma of escaping, and she will also be resented by those in the Shen family who have ulterior motives."
That makes sense; the Shen family has always been dissatisfied with Shen Jiheng's handling of the situation.
Although he did give the victims a lot of benefits, some of them still suffer from lingering effects and are often reminded of him.
Now that Ding Shan's alleged impersonation has surfaced, another storm has arisen. If this is suppressed again, who knows what trouble might arise in the future.
"You're right, so what are your plans?"
“My aunt was in a bad mental state at that time, and she was also instigated by others. In the end, no one was injured. As long as she had a good attitude in admitting her guilt, she would only be detained for a month at most. But at least she showed her attitude and stopped running away from this matter.”
Shen Jiheng agreed with her opinion, but asked, "These are your ideas, but will your uncle and Beichen approve?"
Han Xi smiled wryly and said, "Uncle is definitely reluctant. As for my brother, I believe he understands this principle and will not object. If you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment. That's the rule."
Shen Jiheng knew she was reasonable in everything, so he cupped her face and said helplessly, "If I had known you had this idea, I wouldn't have needed to use this trick on Shen Mu."
Han Xi laughed and said, "You should have wanted to deal with this arrogant uncle for a long time, but you just had the opportunity. Would you have stayed away from him if this hadn't happened?"
Shen Jiheng was both amused and exasperated. Han Xi really understood his character. With his decisive and efficient personality, how could he tolerate someone acting wildly in front of him?
Dealing with Shen Mu was only a matter of time, it just happened a little earlier than planned.
"You've become like a mind reader to me now, you can even read my mind. It seems I can't keep any secrets from you anymore."
"You overestimate me. Anyone with eyes can see through your personality."
Shen Jiheng is high-profile in his actions, and it's quite obvious that he wants to deal with someone.
Shen Muming knew his personality perfectly well, yet he still insisted on going against him; he was practically courting death.
During a casual chat, the lights in the emergency room were turned off, and the hospital director was the first to come out.
Seeing the two nod in acknowledgment, he said, "His life has been saved, but his heart meridian was damaged, so it will probably take a long time for him to wake up. He will also suffer from serious aftereffects and his body will be very weak."
Han Xi nodded, her feelings a mix of emotions: "Thank you for your hard work, Dean!"
"She will be sent to the intensive care unit for observation for two days. We will report to you in a timely manner if there are any changes."
Thank you!
Han Xi didn't have much affection for this person, and was relieved to hear that she had survived.
If Bai Xue dies because of this incident, she will not be able to face Gu Hongyi.
Shen Jiheng patted her shoulder, not wanting to say too much about the matter.
"Let's go back first."
The Gu family must be in complete chaos right now; Han Xi needs to deal with Ding Shan's problem.
Han Xi nodded, looked at him and asked, "Aren't you worried about Bai Xue's situation?"
Shen Jiheng joked, "I'm afraid someone will be jealous."
Han Xi walked forward with her head held high, confidently declaring, "Someone is devoted to me and will love only me forever. Why would I be jealous?"
Shen Jiheng smiled and chased after him, feigning curiosity.
"You look so smug. Can you tell me who this person is?"
"This is a secret; I can't tell anyone."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled. Shen Jiheng held her hand tightly and said gently, "You're right, this person will love you forever."
Sweet words filled her heart, and Han Xi was very glad that the two of them hadn't drifted apart in the end.
Back at the Gu family home, Zhuo Qingqian quickly beckoned her over.
"Xi Xi, you're back just in time. I was just about to call you."
Is it your aunt's situation that's making you so anxious?
Zhuo Qingqian nodded, glanced at Shen Jiheng and said, "You should know about the Shen family suing her. I just heard from Beichen that President Shen called away the lawyer he arranged, and your aunt is going to be detained."
Hearing her full of resentment, Han Xi replied, "This is what I requested."
Zhuo Qingqian was completely confused and asked, "What do you mean? Do you want your aunt to go to jail? Bei Chen is very worried and has already rushed to the police station."
Han Xi said seriously, "Qianqian, we are all lawyers, and we should be very clear about what your mother has done and what she should face. Is it really right to continue to protect her like this?"
These words calmed Zhuo Qingqian down, and she focused on the fact that the other person was family, forgetting all the wrong things she had done.
Han Xi said, "More than fifty people were poisoned by the longevity cakes. Among them, the elderly and children still have aftereffects. Although these people have been comforted, they complain to Ji Heng whenever they have an attack. Sooner or later, there will be bigger problems."
Zhuo Qingqian frowned, sighed, and sat back down on the sofa.
“You’re right, these are all hidden seeds of trouble, and they won’t give up until they are truly resolved.”
Han Xi nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. Now that this matter has been exposed, if we don't take action, the situation will only get worse."
After saying that, Han Xi added, "Those who do wrong are destined to be punished, and you should know that better than I do."
As a lawyer who upholds justice, one should naturally approach this issue from a legal perspective.
Ding Shan's crimes are clear, and she must be punished in order to truly resolve this matter.
Zhuo Qingqian was initially confused and almost forgot the truth of the matter.
"I understand what you mean, but I have another request, and I'm sure you won't refuse."
Han Xi looked at her with suspicion: "What do you want me to do?"
“It’s very simple. I hope you can be my aunt’s defense lawyer. Although she is guilty, I admit that. But she made a mistake under the circumstances of being deceived. I believe that you, as a righteous lawyer, will help her reduce her sentence.”
If Zhuo Qingqian hadn't been pregnant and unfit to appear in court, she definitely would have shown up to defend Ding Shan.
