Chapter 442 Exploiting Her Weakness
After leaving the Bo family compound, Han Xi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhuo Qingqian's hand, attracting Gu Beichen's curious gaze.
"What happened to Han Xi?"
Zhuo Qingqian turned around and said, "Xi Xi, don't worry about me. I'm really fine. I'm just a little tired and want to rest for a while."
Gu Beichen looked worried. "I still think we should take her to the hospital for a check-up first, to see if she has harmed the fetus."
Zhuo Qingqian smiled and said, "You're all making a big fuss over nothing. I just have mild anemia. I'll be fine after a rest. Let's go home first so you won't worry."
As Zhuo Qingqian spoke, she gently patted Han Xi's hand and got into the car, not daring to look at her for too long.
Han Xi wanted to ask more questions, but Shen Jiheng pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Don't rush, take it slow."
Zhuo Qingqian was clearly avoiding her, and now, in front of everyone, it was even less likely that she would speak her mind.
Shen Jiheng led her to a car behind, and Han Xi sighed and said, "Bo Siye did all of these things, and he has admitted to them."
Shen Jiheng nodded: "I knew it was him."
Now, apart from Bo Siye trying to cause them trouble, no one else is their enemy.
“I originally wanted to persuade him to let go of his hatred, but it was more difficult than I thought.”
"He won't stop until he's completely satisfied."
"What about Assistant Qin? I'm very worried about his safety."
Bo Siye's purpose in taking Qin Chuan away was obvious. He understood the importance of this person to them, and eliminating him would undoubtedly cut off Shen Jiheng's right-hand man.
Furthermore, Qin Chuan had followed him for over ten years and was Shen Jiheng's confidant, so he must know all sorts of secrets about the Shen family.
Shen Jiheng frowned slightly and said heavily, "I would rather Qin Chuan cooperate with them than have him pay the price with his life for it."
“But he’s so loyal, how could he betray you? If all else fails, I’ll go find Bo Siye again and make sure to rescue Qin Chuan.”
Han Xi couldn't let their struggle kill innocent people.
Shen Jiheng shook his head: "Isn't he doing all this just waiting for you to come to him? Knowing his personality, he'll definitely try to negotiate with you again. Can you agree to that?"
Han Xi was stunned. Of course she wouldn't agree to Bo Siye's request, so going there would be pointless.
“We have found some clues based on his last traces, and I will bring him back.”
There was no better solution at the moment, so Han Xi had no choice but to nod.
"If there's anything I can help you with, please remember to let me know."
"You know that you're the one I worry about the most. Remember to avoid Bo Siyue as much as possible, even if he's currently using the guise of peace. Don't trust this person."
Just by looking at what Bo Siyue has done in private, you can tell that what he's doing on the surface is just a pretense.
“I remember. There’s another thing. It’s said that Uncle has regained consciousness and can hear the people around him.”
Shen Jiheng looked ahead, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.
"Some things are unavoidable, so we can only let nature take its course."
Han Xi sighed and said, "Bo Siye keeps whispering certain ideas in his ear, and I'm worried that he'll target you when he wakes up."
Shen Jiheng held her hand calmly and said, "It's okay, I can handle it. As long as I don't hurt you, I won't lay a hand on him."
Han Xi leaned on his shoulder, hoping things wouldn't get too complicated.
Shen Jiheng dropped the person off at the Gu family's door and then left. Qin Chuan's matter was still a bit tricky, and he needed to deal with it personally.
Back inside, Grandma Gu quickly walked over, took Zhuo Qingqian's hand, and asked with concern, "Qianqian, are you alright? It's all our fault for being so careless and failing to take good care of you."
The old man's face was also full of worry: "We were really worried when we heard you were missing. Are you alright? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
Faced with the elderly's concern, Zhuo Qingqian smiled and replied, "Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry. I was just a little tired and rested for a while. I'm sorry my phone was stolen, so I couldn't notify everyone in time."
The old man said angrily, "These thieves are truly despicable. I have already contacted the authorities in charge here, and they must be found."
Zhuo Qingqian nodded gratefully: "Grandpa, thank you for your trouble. I'm still a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Seeing that Gu Beichen was about to step forward, Han Xi quickly ran over and took her hand, saying gently, "Brother, you stay with Grandpa and the others. I'll help Qianqian back to her room to rest. After all, I've been through this before, and if she's not feeling well, I'll know how to take care of her."
Hearing this, Gu Beichen could only nod and said with concern, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Han Xi and Zhuo Qingqian exchanged a glance and helped her upstairs.
The moment the door closed, Han Xi's expression turned serious. He looked at her earnestly and asked, "Now you should tell me what really happened. Did you really encounter a thief, or were you threatened by Bo Siye?"
Zhuo Qingqian stared at her without speaking, but she could tell from her conflicted expression that she was no ordinary person.
Han Xi pulled her hand and sat her on the bed, whispering, "Qianqian, we are best friends, and now we are family. No matter what happens to you, I will help you. You don't need to hide anything from me."
Zhuo Qingqian shook her head and sighed, "Xi Xi, this matter is very complicated, you can't help me."
“You didn’t even say it, how do you know I’m not good enough? And now that Bo Siyue knows, he’ll definitely use it to threaten you. We need to find a solution.”
Han Xi took her hand, turned her to face him, and looked at her with sincere eyes.
Zhuo Qingqian took a deep breath and said, "Two years ago, Li Hai received a very complicated case, but the reward was very generous. He asked me to help him and promised to give me a house if I won the case."
Han Xi couldn't help but feel flustered. As someone in this line of work, she naturally understood the situation. The fact that he could be so generous must mean that there were many connections behind it.
Han Xi asked cautiously, "Are we the defendants?"
Zhuo Qingqian nodded and said painfully, "For so long, I have never let myself cross that line. But when Li Hai took out the sea view house, I wavered."
As she spoke, she clasped her hands tightly to her chest, her expression a mixture of conflict and sorrow.
Han Xi gently patted her shoulder to comfort her: "So you helped him win this lawsuit and get the sea view house?"
Han Xi understood her personality; she always acted with justice in mind and would never do anything against her conscience.
However, there are too many temptations in this society, and people often cannot withstand the test of money and interests.
Everyone makes mistakes, and Zhuo Qingqian made one this time.
Zhuo Qingqian covered her face with tears streaming down her cheeks and recounted the story in anguish.
“I gave him false testimony, and the other party lost the case. I got the house as I wanted. But Bo Siye told me today that the couple who lost the case committed suicide that same day.”
Han Xi patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying that this matter was indeed difficult to handle.
“I really didn’t know it would be that serious. I had no idea it was a life-or-death gamble for them. If it weren’t for the disguise I gave them, they wouldn’t have died.”
No wonder Bo Siye was able to control her; he had grasped Zhuo Qingqian's weakness. Once this matter became public, not only would her legal career be over, but she would also face legal consequences.
Bo Siye's move was truly ruthless, leaving them utterly powerless to retaliate.
