Chapter 402 Two Layers of Protection
In the past few days, Bo Siye has changed several caregivers, but he would fly into a rage whenever he got close to the old man, throwing things and cursing. He was difficult to get along with, so naturally the caregivers were unwilling to work with him.
But to Bo Siye's surprise, as soon as Han Xi entered the room, the old man waved to her and called out her name.
After learning about his situation, Han Xi felt sorry for the old man's plight and only fed him at Bo Siye's request.
"Xi Xi is so nice, I still want to eat."
The old man, who hadn't eaten for the past two days, was really hungry now. Han Xi fed him a bowl and he still kept asking for more.
Although he recognized him, Han Xi could sense from his eyes and tone that he was different from before.
"Grandpa Bo, you have a sensitive stomach, so you should eat smaller, more frequent meals. I'll feed you later, okay? I'll get you some fruit."
In his current condition, eating too much at once would definitely cause indigestion, so Han Xi could only patiently persuade him.
Bo Siye, standing beside him, was afraid that he would go crazy again, but to her surprise, he nodded obediently.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Xixi."
"Then you have to cooperate with eating from now on, and you also have to take those medicines. You can't throw tantrums or curse people."
"Okay, I won't swear while eating."
Seeing the trust in his eyes, Han Xi felt a pang of sadness.
If Bo Siyue hadn't made their relationship so strained, she would still have been happy to visit the elderly woman whenever she had the chance.
Bo Siye sighed and said heavily, "Grandpa often mentioned you before, asking me why you didn't come to see him. I said you were on a business trip abroad. I didn't expect him to still be thinking about you."
The score between the two hadn't been settled yet, and Han Xi hadn't had a chance to get any information out of them.
“The elderly person’s condition can change very quickly. If we don’t send them to the hospital for treatment, we should arrange for a family doctor to stay with them at all times.”
"You're so thoughtful. I'll contact the doctor to come over. Thank you for helping me despite our past grievances."
Han Xi corrected him, "I'm not helping you. This is about my friendship with Grandpa Bo. He has always taken good care of me. I can't just ignore this situation."
Even if Bo Siye doesn't say anything, Han Xi will still help the old man.
Bo Siye's eyes were complicated. Han Xi didn't know if he regretted turning their relationship into this.
“I know you hate me, but you also need to understand that I am definitely no worse than him, so why can’t you be with me?”
“Even when we were on good terms, I didn’t choose you. Now that things have come to this, we can’t even be friends anymore.”
We can't even be friends anymore!
Bo Siye gave a bitter laugh, feeling as if countless sharp blades were piercing his body.
Han Xi tried to ask, "You said you have a way to prove Ji Heng's innocence. I need to know if it's true or not. Who knows if you're trying to trick me?"
Bo Siye replied, "So, if you're sure I have it, you'll agree to my terms."
Han Xi would certainly not agree, but when dealing with despicable people, she didn't need to talk about ethics or morality.
"Maybe, but I need to see if it's worth it."
Han Xi implied that he would make a decision after reviewing the information, but at the same time, he did not completely reject his conditions.
Bo Siye hesitated. He knew Han Xi was clever and that it was very likely that she was trying to get information out of him.
"The fact that I dare to state this condition shows that I am absolutely certain that if I cannot fulfill it after marriage, you can do whatever you want with me."
"You don't even think about how many bad things you've done. How can I trust you?"
"You can choose to trust me one last time, and perhaps that will plunge Shen Jiheng into the abyss."
Han Xi glared at him angrily; this man was clearly coercing her.
He knew that Han Xi's coming alone meant she was prepared to take a desperate gamble; she was willing to do anything to save Shen Jiheng.
Han Xi took a deep breath and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, are you going to let me see it or not? If I'm not sure, how can I agree to your request? If you still refuse, then I'm leaving."
Han Xi was very determined; she didn't want to be deceived for nothing.
Seeing her attitude, Bo Siye said helplessly, "Come to the study with me."
It seems that she won't fall into his trap unless he gives her a taste of sweetness.
He knew that Han Xi was in a state of confusion at the moment. She was conflicted but did not want to give up, so he would reassure her.
Han Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In order to help Shen Jiheng find evidence, she was going all out.
She followed Bo Siye to the study, where he gestured for Han Xi to sit at the desk.
"Come here, I want to show you something."
Han Xi sat down nervously, and Bo Siye put one hand on her shoulder and used the other to turn on the computer.
Han Xi awkwardly moved his hand away to keep her distance.
Bo Siye didn't approach, but calmly turned on his computer.
As the computer was turned on, Han Xi discovered that the screensaver was a photo of Bo Siye with her and her two children.
That was when they were abroad. The four of them went on a picnic. To outsiders, they looked like a happy family of four.
At that time, they had a very good relationship. Han Xi would consult with him on everything she did and trusted him completely.
However, times have changed, and they have become enemies.
"What are you going to show me!"
Seeing that Bo Siye hadn't made a move, Han Xi had no choice but to remind him.
Bo Siye smiled wryly, "Do you remember this photo? It was taken by our neighbor. Back then, they always..."
"Let's get down to business!" Han Xi interrupted his reverie.
Realizing that everything was part of his scheme, Han Xi felt no lingering attachment and even wanted to completely forget about it.
Bo Siyue sighed and opened a video, murmuring, "My feelings for you have never been fake. I'm so sorry for lying to you."
Han Xi had already said that these issues couldn't be resolved simply by apologizing, but he didn't want to argue with him about it.
The video started playing, and what it contained made Han Xi's eyes widen.
Han Yue was seen punching and kicking Jefferson, and the positions he was attacking were almost identical to those of Shen Jiheng.
Han Xi looked at him in astonishment, completely unexpected that he would be involved with Han Yue.
"How could this happen? Why is my dad backstage at the exhibition?"
"Because I told him that Jefferson had stolen the Cloud Love formula, he was furious and went to settle scores with someone, and beat him up, causing him to be seriously injured."
Han Xi exclaimed in shock, "You really are a devil."
Although Han Xi and his father had a bad relationship, they were still blood relatives, and he couldn't just watch him bear the blame.
"You planned all of this, didn't you? Whether it's Shen Jiheng or my father who gets arrested in the end, you know I won't stand idly by. You're trying to use this to threaten me."
His calculations were so precise that Han Xi was ashamed of his own ingenuity.
"But you're scheming against both of them at the same time, aren't you deliberately making things more difficult for me?"
If Han Xi releases this video to save Shen Jiheng, then the murder charge will fall on Han Yue. Isn't that just a change in name only?
Bo Siyue didn't argue and nodded, saying, "Because I know that having Shen Jiheng alone would make you hesitate, but now their fates are in your hands, and I believe you won't consider it anymore."
"What do you mean?" Han Xi felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
