Chapter 406 A Stranger's Help
Shen Jiheng didn't believe that Bo Siye had accidentally sent the wrong video. He hadn't even shown Han Xi the complete video because he was afraid she would find out about the drug used to numb her.
Han Xi dialed the number back, but the other party's phone was switched off, further proving that it wasn't a mistake, but rather that it was intentionally sent to them.
Han Xi said excitedly, "This is great! With this, we can prove Ji Heng's innocence. But I can't understand how anyone could get the complete video from Bo Siye. Did you plant your own people around him?"
The only explanation now is that Shen Jiheng planted an undercover agent by his side, which enabled him to successfully obtain the evidence.
However, Shen Jiheng shook his head and said bluntly, "Bo Siye is too wary. I have tried to arrange for someone to get close to him many times, but I have failed."
Han Xi was even more confused and asked curiously, "Then who sent me this evidence? This is to help you, and at such great risk. Only someone on your side could do this."
Shen Jiheng stared at the videos in deep thought; what happened today was indeed unusual.
First, Grandpa Bo admitted his mistake and helped them leave, and then a stranger sent over the evidence. All of this seems too coincidental.
"Give me your phone, and I'll have Assistant Qin investigate the identity behind this number."
Han Xi handed over the phone, and she was really happy that Shen Jiheng would be alright soon.
However, Shen Jiheng's expression was complicated, and he immediately ordered Qin Chuan to investigate.
Three minutes later, Qin Chuan responded that it was a call from an ordinary person. His phone had been stolen half an hour earlier, and he was just about to report the thief to him. There was nothing wrong with his background.
So the person who messaged him was very cautious; in order not to be discovered stealing someone else's phone, they didn't want their identity to be revealed.
But if you're trying to help them, why are you hiding?
Moreover, given this favor, Shen Jiheng and Han Xi would give him whatever he wanted.
Seeing that he hadn't taken any action, Han Xi urged him, "Ji Heng, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send these to Director Wu so you won't be detained in the detention center anymore."
Unexpectedly, Shen Jiheng said the opposite.
"I don't want to hand this evidence over to the police for the time being."
Hearing this, Han Xi was stunned and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"Until I find out who sent the message, I want to stay in the detention center. If this person wants to help me, they might assume you didn't receive it if they see that I haven't submitted any evidence."
Shen Jiheng was extremely curious and wanted to find out the truth about this.
Han Xi shook his head: "Since they are avoiding us in this way, why bother to investigate further? As long as you are safe and sound, that's all that matters."
Han Xi sought peace of mind and didn't want to pursue these so-called answers; all she wanted was for Shen Jiheng to return to her side as soon as possible.
Shen Jiheng frowned and said, "I know you're worried, but I'm really curious."
"So what if you find out? To thank them?"
Han Xi really couldn't understand his thoughts.
In such situations, not disturbing the other person is the proper courtesy of an adult.
"I want to know who he is."
Shen Jiheng's expression was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Normally, no matter what the matter was, Shen Jiheng would always listen to her opinion, but this time he was determined to do this, which Han Xi really couldn't understand.
Why is he so interested in the person behind this?
And even if they knew, so what? This person clearly doesn't want their identity to be discovered.
"Since you've made your decision, I have no choice but to respect it. But you must be careful in the days to come, I'm afraid someone might try to harm you."
After all, the detention center wasn't his own territory, and anything dangerous could happen there. The longer he stayed inside, the more worried Han Xi became.
Shen Jiheng could hear her anxiety and reassured her, "Han Xi, I'll be fine. Once I find out who this person is, I'll submit the evidence immediately. Besides, I also need to find out who this guy who hit me is."
Han Xi said, "Judging from his build, he must be one of Bo Siye's bodyguards."
As she spoke, she turned to the dean and asked urgently, "Have you thrown away Jefferson's clothes?"
The dean replied, "No, these were taken away by the police for testing as evidence."
Han Xi said, "These clothes definitely have fingerprints from more than just Ji Heng. There are many other people on them. If we can get these fingerprints and match them, we can find out whether they are Bo Siye's bodyguards or not."
Shen Jiheng nodded: "That is indeed a solution. I will go to the detention center and discuss it with Director Wu."
Han Xi couldn't feel happy at all when she heard that he was going back to this place.
Despite having evidence to prove his innocence, he resolutely refused to submit it in order to find the person behind it all.
Shen Jiheng pulled her aside and said, "Don't think too much about it. I'll take you home first, and I'll contact you if anything happens."
Han Xi nodded: "Okay!"
She didn't want to say too much; everyone has their own convictions.
Shen Jiheng escorted her to the Gu family's gate; given his current condition, it was not appropriate for him to go inside.
Shen Jiheng rubbed her cheeks and leaned forward to kiss her.
Han Xi responded with a smile. No matter what he wanted to do, he should support him, just as Han Xi unconditionally stood by his side.
Be careful in everything you do.
He only left after watching Han Xi enter the door with peace of mind. The Gu family members were already waiting at the door. As soon as Han Xi entered, Zhuo Qingqian hugged her.
"Xi Xi, are you crazy? You're so brave to go to a place like that. It's a den of dragons and tigers."
"Qianqian was worried about you. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed over to find you. You're not allowed to do such dangerous things again," Gu Beichen said in a reproachful tone.
Seeing the worried expressions on the two elders' faces, Han Xi felt extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry everyone, I made you worry. I will never do this again. Please don't be angry."
Zhuo Qingqian said, "You've made it clear, if you dare to do this again, we'll ignore you."
Seeing her puffed-up face, Han Xi hugged her and coaxed her, "It was my fault for sneaking out and making everyone worry. If you're still angry, hit me a couple of times."
Zhuo Qingqian actually raised her hand. Seeing her obedient and submissive manner as she accepted the punishment, how could anyone bring themselves to do it?
"I'll let you off this time, but this is really not going to happen again."
Han Xi nodded vigorously and looked at the group, saying, "I promise, this won't happen again."
Grandma Gu sighed, stepped forward and took her hand: "Silly child, don't bear things alone. We can all be with you. I won't criticize you since you already know you're wrong, but you mustn't do it again."
Han Xi hugged her and rested her head on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Grandma. I won't do it again. Don't worry about me."
With such a sweet and affectionate granddaughter, how could the old man bear to get angry?
Gu Beichen then asked, "Where is Ji Heng? Has he gone back to the detention center? Today, his company's intranet was hacked, and his products are being boycotted. He must be in a terrible state."
Shen Jiheng didn't tell her any of these things, probably because he didn't want her to worry.
He would rather ignore all these things than not find the person who helped them. Han Xi didn't understand why he was so persistent.
But she knew that once Shen Jiheng made a decision, he would definitely do it, so she could only support his choice.
