Chapter 387 Family Relationships Gradually Deteriorate
Faced with Gu Hongyi's accusations, Han Xi felt extremely guilty. If she were given another chance to make a choice, she would definitely not interfere in this matter.
Now that Ding Shan is in this situation, if she can't get out of the emergency room, how will she face the Gu family?
Although Gu Hongyi said these words in a state of emotional turmoil, they were his true feelings.
Even if they survive, that scar will hinder their relationship in the future.
Han Xi now wants to know whether Ding Shan was truly provoked into doing this, or whether she was framed.
Gu Hongyi waved his hand weakly and said coldly, "You can leave now. Don't interfere in our family's affairs from now on."
"Dad, what are you doing? Han Xi didn't mean any harm. She just wants Mom to live an honest and upright life from now on. There's nothing wrong with that."
Gu Beichen hadn't expected his usually reasonable father to act this way; it seemed he had been provoked.
Gu Hongyi roared angrily, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet, so it's not your place to lecture me."
“Dad, what’s wrong with you? We’re just as worried and upset as you are about this, but it has nothing to do with Han Xi. Saying things like that will put a lot of pressure on her.”
Gu Beichen was also involved in this plan, so the blame doesn't fall solely on Han Xi.
Gu Hongyi retorted angrily, "But everything that happened in our family started because of her appearance, there is no doubt about that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jiheng's voice of objection came from behind him.
“A thousand-foot dike can be breached by an ant’s bite. The Gu family has long been in potential danger, it’s not something that just happened now. It’s really too far-fetched to blame Han Xi.”
Gu Hongyi became even more agitated upon seeing him and immediately turned his anger towards him.
"How dare you say such things? If you hadn't been entangled with my daughter, these conflicts wouldn't have arisen."
Shen Jiheng frowned. The usually polite Master Gu had suddenly turned on him and even targeted him, which showed that he was really angry.
But he refused to take the blame, replying coldly, "I think you have some misunderstandings about these things. I have never provoked them. It was Gu Hanxi who deceived me from the beginning."
Gu Hongyi seemed like a completely different person, angrily saying, "I don't care, all of this is related to you. If it weren't for you, our Gu family wouldn't be in this state now."
Things were already in a mess, and Gu Hongyi's antics made the atmosphere even more tense.
Seeing that he still wanted to argue, Gu Beichen had no choice but to pull him away, "Dad, what are you doing? You are a reasonable person, how can you push all the blame onto them?"
To his surprise, Gu Hongyi pushed him away, his expression one of hatred for everyone.
“In the past, I was always lenient, thinking that as long as I was patient, things would get better and all the misfortunes would disappear. However, I was too naive. I lost my most beloved daughter.”
Seeing his usual composure, Han Xi never imagined that he was so bothered by Gu Hanxi's death.
He looked at Han Xi and said, "I finally managed to get out of this heavy mood. All I wanted was to protect my beloved wife, but it turned out like this. Doesn't this have anything to do with you?"
Gu Hongyi's critical gaze made Han Xi feel sorry for him; she never imagined things would develop this way.
Shen Jiheng quickly stood in front of Han Xi, not wanting his gaze to hurt his beloved.
Since the topic had come up, he didn't hold back in his rebuttal.
"Don't forget that you made all the decisions. If you really have someone to blame, blame yourself for having no self-control, for indulging the wicked woman in doing bad things, and for tolerating your wife breaking the law, which led to the situation we have today."
Shen Jiheng's words were quite impactful, leaving Gu Hongyi stunned on the spot.
He continued, "You're blaming everyone else for your mistakes, but why don't you think about what you've done? You're the one who should be blamed."
The situation was about to get out of control when Gu Beichen stepped forward: "Ji Heng, that's enough. My father is already suffering enough. Don't say anything that will only provoke him."
Shen Jiheng said unhappily, "Did I provoke him? It was his words that were too hurtful. Why blame Han Xi for the mistake?"
Han Xi grabbed his hand, not wanting to argue about this anymore.
"Ji Heng, let's go first."
Shen Jiheng was naturally unconvinced, so Han Xi had no choice but to increase the force of his grip and pull him away.
As she turned around at the corner, she met Gu Beichen's gaze. Both of them had complicated expressions and felt bad.
Shen Jiheng reassured him, "Don't take it to heart, this person is just completely insane."
Han Xi was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to say.
Shen Jiheng pulled her into his arms and stroked her head.
"Alright, it's all in the past now. Whatever you want to do, I'll do it with you."
"I want to go to the detention center in person to find out what happened and who was behind this."
Shen Jiheng nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you. Qin Chuan has already sent people to investigate, and they should have some news."
Han Xi felt vaguely uneasy, sensing that this matter was inextricably linked to Bo Siye.
When did this person begin to become an obstacle for them, causing trouble everywhere yet impossible to eliminate?
When they arrived at the entrance of the detention center, they ran into Qin Chuan, who was holding a phone and seemed to be preparing to report to him.
"President, Miss Han, you've arrived."
Han Xi asked anxiously, "Assistant Qin, what clues have you found?"
Qin Chuan took out his phone and took a few photos, then reported: "Half an hour before Madam Gu's accident, she talked for a long time with someone staying in the same room. I found out that this person is a hypnotist."
These words caused Han Xi and Shen Jiheng to exchange a glance, as they had not expected this situation to occur.
Qin Chuan continued, "This person was detained overnight for causing trouble yesterday, but was released by his family after Madam Gu's incident, and boarded a plane half an hour ago."
He submitted all the information he had found, and it was clear that this was a planned scheme. By the time they realized what was happening and looked for the culprit, the operation had already been completed.
Shen Jiheng's handsome face was filled with anger; it was clear that the other party had come here specifically to confront Ding Shan.
"Find all the information about this person, including who they have recently met with, and report it all. Also, contact the international airlines and ask them to try to return to their destination."
Qin Chuan frowned and said, "President, this time it's probably going to be difficult. There are important people on this flight. Even if we are willing to compensate, the airline will not dare to offend them rashly."
Qin Chuan's words indicate that he had investigated and communicated thoroughly; otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
But Shen Jiheng was very anxious. Only by catching this person could he find out who was instigating him.
Seeing his anxiety, Han Xi suggested, "Ji Heng, I have another idea. We can contact the local embassy, tell them that this is a fugitive, and ask them to cooperate in arresting him."
Shen Jiheng was so angry that he forgot about this arrangement. He immediately looked at Qin Chuan and instructed him, "Contact them immediately to avoid any unexpected incidents along the way."
Shen Jiheng absolutely cannot let this person escape his grasp.
