Chapter 438 Another Trick
Shen Jiheng winked at Qin Chuan at the door, and he immediately brought in bodyguards, making it clear to Gu Hongyi and his wife that there was no way out now.
Gu Beichen said, "I have chosen the best villa for you, which will help you relax. I will come to visit you when I have time."
Although they were under house arrest, they lived comfortably.
Gu Hongyi said indignantly, "I never thought that I would be forced to this point by my own son. I think you are the one who is bewitched."
"I really gave birth to an ungrateful child. You actually teamed up with outsiders to deal with me. This Shen Jiheng is so smart, be careful he doesn't seize power from the Gu family." Ding Shan is now on Gu Hongyi's side.
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, I'm not interested. Please!"
Shen Jiheng gestured for him to follow, and seeing the bodyguard step forward, Gu Hongyi had no choice but to go out. However, when he reached the door, he turned back and glared at Gu Beichen.
Ding Shan glared at him with hatred, then reluctantly followed the bodyguard away.
As soon as the two left, Gu Beichen collapsed onto the sofa.
He had never disobeyed his parents since he was a child, but this time he actually locked them up.
Han Xi reassured him, "Brother, you don't need to worry too much. They have people taking care of them in the villa. It's best to let them calm down."
“That’s right. Maybe this opportunity can help them get closer to each other and repair their relationship,” Shen Jiheng comforted him.
Gu Beichen sighed and nodded: "You're right. I can't be soft-hearted at this time. If we don't stop them from making such a fuss, things will definitely get out of control."
Han Xi patted his shoulder: "Brother, seeing that you can stand on your own now, I'm sure you can make the Gu family even better. I believe in you."
Gu Beichen smiled with relief: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to do it. But what should I do next? If what they did in the past is exposed, it will bring a devastating blow to the Gu family."
Gu Beichen is angry, but the real issue is resolving these matters.
Shen Jiheng reassured him, "You don't need to worry about that. I've taken care of everything, and no one will find any evidence."
Gu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thanks to your help, I was just complaining that you kept it from me, but now I really would rather never have known."
Han Xi wanted to maintain the perfect image of his parents in his heart, but unfortunately, he couldn't escape it.
"Brother, although what they did was hateful, one thing is true: they all loved you very much, which is why they raised you into the responsible and dependable man you are today."
This was the only thing Han Xi felt fortunate about: they hadn't dragged Gu Beichen into the abyss.
Gu Beichen took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand that too, which is why I chose to lock them in the other courtyard, hoping they can think things through."
Gu Beichen didn't want to dwell on the past; he only hoped his parents could go back to how they were before.
Shen Jiheng said, "Leave the rest to time; you just need to keep moving forward."
With the encouragement of these two, Gu Beichen was full of confidence.
Han Xi asked Shen Jiheng to accompany him, while he went to the park to pick up the children.
When she arrived at the park, she saw Han Yue in the distance, playing football with some children on the grass.
Han Xi saw the two elders sitting on a bench under a big tree. She smiled and walked behind them, gently putting her arms around their shoulders.
Grandpa and Grandma~
Grandma Gu laughed and patted her arm, "You little rascal, you came without saying a word, trying to scare me, huh?"
Han Xi buried her head in her shoulder and said coquettishly, "I just want to hug Grandma. You smell so good. I love this scent."
Grandma Gu turned around and stroked her face, her eyes filled with undisguised affection.
"I'm too old for that kind of fragrance."
The old man immediately retorted, "Han Xi is right, I can smell it too, the old lady smells wonderful."
Grandma Gu was amused by the two of them and pointed to Han Yue in front of her, saying, "Your father is quite thoughtful. Knowing that we were here, he immediately came to be with the child. Isn't it a cruel twist of fate that he abandoned such a good child?"
Han Xi nodded. If he hadn't kicked Han Chuang out back then, things wouldn't be like this now. He should take responsibility for his actions.
The old man also asked, "If Xiao Chuang is willing to stay with him in the future, will you let him go?"
Seeing how much fun they were having, Han Xi nodded and said, "Whatever he chooses in the end, I will support his decision."
Grandma Gu sighed, "He is blessed to have you as his sister. No one else could be as magnanimous as you."
Han Xi smiled knowingly. He was just a child, and she didn't think too much about it.
"By the way, where is Qianqian?"
Grandma Gu looked around and said, "Hey, didn't we just see her asking us if we were thirsty? She must have gone to the shop up ahead to buy water."
Han Xi nodded: "Then I'll go find her, you guys wait for me."
Han Xi took out her phone to contact her, but no one answered the phone.
However, after Han Xi searched around the nearby shops, he couldn't find the person, and there was no reply to his messages.
The current situation was making Han Xi anxious, so she had no choice but to contact Shen Jiheng to ask if Zhuo Qingqian had returned early.
Upon hearing the phone conversation, Shen Jiheng intentionally avoided Gu Beichen and answered it outside, as he had many things to deal with and couldn't afford to be distracted.
"She didn't come back? Where did she go? I've looked all around here and can't find her." Han Xi became even more panicked when she heard that she hadn't returned.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to come and help us look for it. It's possible that it's resting somewhere."
Shen Jiheng didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately sent someone over to help, while he stayed behind to help Gu Beichen handle the follow-up matters.
"Please, please don't let anything happen."
"No, don't worry."
Han Xi was still restless after hanging up the phone. She was about to go look for it again when she turned around and saw Bo Siye standing behind her.
Bo Siye stepped forward with a smile and asked with concern, "What's wrong? You look very anxious. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Han Xi shook his head; he couldn't have appeared here for no reason.
"It was you, wasn't it? You took Qianqian away."
Bo Siye smiled and said, "You're exaggerating. Miss Zhuo is just a guest at my house. I'm here to pick you up so you can meet her."
Han Xi glared at him and stepped forward, questioning, "What do you mean by this? Didn't you want to bury the hatchet and live in harmony? Now you're pulling this trick again."
Bo Siye said aggrievedly, "You really wronged me. I just happened to see Miss Zhuo feeling unwell, so I took her to my place to rest. If you don't believe me, go ask her yourself."
Han Xi, of course, didn't believe it; now she doubted every word Bo Siye said.
“If she was really unwell, why didn’t you take her to the hospital? And she wouldn’t even answer the phone; you’re the one restricting her freedom.”
"You'll have to ask her yourself. The car is ready, let's go."
Bo Siye made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation. Seeing that Han Xi was questioning him, he had no choice but to take out his phone to show her the home surveillance footage. Sure enough, he saw Zhuo Qingqian sitting in the yard.
Han Xi took a deep breath and got into the car with him. The most important thing right now was to bring Zhuo Qingqian back.
