Chapter 427 Reappearance
Han Xi sensed his helplessness and felt bad too. The Shen family had been harboring resentment for a long time, and now that they knew Shen Jiheng's identity, they would definitely cause trouble.
Moreover, Shen Mu had colluded with Bo Siye in the past, and now that they know the truth, the two will definitely join forces to deal with him.
"I understand. I'll go in and check the situation first, and I'll let you know when I have some news."
"Be careful, and leave if you feel uncomfortable."
"I know."
Han Xi responded with a smile. He couldn't let Shen Jiheng worry about him at this time; he had to make sure Shen Jiheng had no worries.
Shen Jiheng watched her leave, his expression turning serious.
"President, according to news from the newspaper, Bo Siyue has already had someone publish an announcement in the newspaper in preparation for officially revealing his identity."
Shen Jiheng sneered, "He really can't wait a moment longer. The elders of the Shen family haven't even spoken yet, but he's already eager to reveal his identity. He's trying to form cliques."
Qin Chuan asked, "Should we ask the newspaper to suppress this?"
As long as Shen Jiheng intervenes, the newspaper won't dare to offend him.
Shen Jiheng shook his head. "No need. Even if the newspaper refuses, he has many other ways to do it if he's determined to."
After speaking, Shen Jiheng looked at him and asked curiously, "Now that you know about my background, don't you have any thoughts about it?"
Qin Chuan understood his meaning and replied firmly, "I only recognize you, regardless of anyone else."
Shen Jiheng nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, as expected of the person I chose. A lot of things will definitely happen next, and as my confidant, you will definitely become their target. Be careful."
"Don't worry, President, I will protect myself."
Despite knowing the dangers involved, Qin Chuan did not back down.
When Han Xi arrived at the emergency room, just as Shen Jiheng had said, Shen Mu's family was there, along with several elders he had met before.
Han Xi nodded and walked over, asking Madam Shen with concern, "Auntie, is there still no news of Grandma?"
Madam Shen looked worried and sighed, "The dean said she was recovering, but her condition has worsened." She then looked behind her and asked, "Didn't Ji Heng come with you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Mu immediately said, "What is he doing here? The old man was just angered by him. Besides, he is not a descendant of our Shen family."
After Shen Mu finished speaking, he winked at the other members of his clan, and they all stood up to speak.
“Sister-in-law, Shen Mu is right. The most critical issue now is that he controls the economic lifeline of our Shen family. You must stay clear-headed and take back the power as soon as possible.”
“If he takes the Shen family’s assets away, we will all go bankrupt. This matter cannot wait.”
"If you, as an elder, step forward to take back the power, he will definitely give it to you. Before he has any other ideas, you should step forward as soon as possible."
The cacophony of voices gave Madam Shen a headache, so she waved her hand to signal for silence.
"Can you please stop talking? I'm worried about Grandma's health right now, and I know Ji Heng's character; he wouldn't be after these things."
Shen Mu pressed further, "So you mean to continue letting an outsider hold power? What do you think your real son will think?"
Madam Shen glared at him and said sternly.
“This is my business, it’s none of your concern. I won’t let anyone who dares to cause trouble for Ji Heng get away with it. Even if he’s not my biological son, I’ve raised him for thirty years. Can that bond be severed so easily?”
Han Xi was deeply moved by these words, and he believed that Shen Jiheng would also be pleased to hear them.
Shen Mu coughed and said, "Your friendship can continue, but public is public and private is private. Right now, everyone in the group is in a state of panic. We are not at ease with such a huge industry being in the hands of outsiders."
The others echoed her, clearly intending to pressure her.
Madam Shen asked, "So, what do you want to do according to your wishes?"
“It’s simple, just split the shares equally. That will keep him in check. Otherwise, we won’t give up.”
Shen Mu knew that Shen Jiheng was not easy to deal with, so he took advantage of this opportunity to acquire the shares. Even if Bo Siye returned, he would still be the largest shareholder.
Han Xi rebuked, "You're clearly kicking someone when they're down. The number of shares you get is based on your ability and contributions. You think you can get them for free? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Shen Mu turned his attention to her and said, "I think you have ulterior motives. Maybe you already knew about your own background, which is why you transferred the shares to you and your son."
Han Xi glared at him angrily; this person was deliberately targeting him.
“These are all Ji Heng’s own shares. What’s wrong with giving them to me?”
"Of course that's not right. Didn't you just say that shares are based on contributions? What have you done for the group? Did you give birth to those two children, especially since they are descendants of the Bo family?"
Shen Mu's words were pointed, making Madam Shen uncomfortable.
Back then, Shen Jiheng gave the shares to Han Xi and the others, and they were very supportive.
But now that we're talking about it, it is indeed a problem, since they are not descendants of the Shen family.
Han Xi said, "You don't need to use such words to sow discord. I don't care about these shares. I will return them to Shen Jiheng after he has settled everything, but they will be given to meritorious officials, not people like you."
Shen Mu gritted his teeth and walked toward her menacingly: "Han Xi, you are an outsider now. You don't even have the right to stand here. How dare you yell at me?"
Han Xi clenched her fists in anger at his arrogant manner, but soon a pleasant voice came from behind her.
“Uncle, I could hear you shouting from afar. You really haven’t changed at all. I thought you would have learned your lesson after what happened last time.”
The visitor was indeed Shen Jiheng. He had already left, but considering that the Shen family was not easy to deal with, it would be difficult for Han Xi to face them alone.
Even if Han Xi is eloquent, he can't withstand a large number of people. What if they even resort to violence?
Worried about her safety, he turned back and listened to their conversation from around the corner.
What moved him most was that Madam Shen had not given up on him, so he had even less reason to back down.
Shen Mu's arrogance vanished the moment he saw him arrive, and he even managed a smile.
"Ji... Ji Heng, you're here too. I was just worried about your grandmother's condition, so I got a little emotional."
Clearly, after learning Shen Jiheng's identity, everyone was eager to settle scores with him and drive him out of the Shen family.
But when he actually showed up, they all immediately backed down.
Shen Jiheng's backbone did not stem from his Shen family background, but from his innate aura.
Shen Jiheng walked over and said with a faint smile, "How lively! Those who know better will understand that you're staying here because you're worried about Grandma. If they didn't know better, they would think you're here to pressure my mother."
“How could that be? We’re all just concerned about the old lady,” the others immediately chimed in.
Before Shen Jiheng fell, no one dared to push him down; now, he still has enough power to make everyone die.
Shen Jiheng nodded slightly: "That's good. Since you're concerned about Grandma, then everyone should wait quietly. However, it's not suitable for too many people to stay here. You should go to the rest room to wait."
