Chapter 455 Greed knows no bounds; a snake tries to swallow an elephant.
Han Xi felt a vague unease. Shen Mingzhu's eyes were filled with hatred just now, which was completely unexpected.
The hatred between them has been resolved. Is it really necessary to help Bo Siye deal with them?
After the dean's reminder last time, Han Xi always felt that Shen Mingzhu wouldn't be so hostile as to them, but now it seems that he had underestimated her.
If she does something wrong again, Han Xi will absolutely not tolerate it.
Seeing that she had stopped, Madam Shen asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Han Xi smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing."
If she realizes these things, does Madam Shen understand that if she and her brother fall out again in the future, it may be too late to mend the relationship?
Upon arriving at Madam Shen's room, Han Xi got straight to the point: "Auntie, I've come about Bai Xue. I want to know where she was taken."
Madam Shen frowned and apologized, "I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you beforehand. When you appeared, I guessed that you came for this. Although Si Ye didn't want me to know at the time, I still arranged for someone to follow you and that's how I found this address."
As she spoke, Madam Shen took out a photo of a house from the cabinet, with an address on the back of the photo.
"Auntie, do you know why Bo Siye did this?"
Madam Shen shook her head. "He told me about Bai Xue and Liang Dong's story, saying that he had traveled thousands of miles just to come back and find her. We couldn't keep him detained in the hospital forever, so we agreed to let him take him away."
Han Xi had mixed feelings, knowing that Liang Dong's return wouldn't bring good news.
Madam Shen continued, "I had heard that you two had a grudge against each other, so I was on my guard and had someone follow you secretly. Si Ye was unaware of this."
"Thanks to you for writing down this address, it has been a great help to me. Si Ye has been secretly targeting us. He called Liang Dong back this time so that he could announce Ji Heng's crimes on the international news."
Han Xi felt it was necessary to tell her about Bo Siye's actions.
Madam Shen said with a headache, "We've come this far, what else could he possibly be dissatisfied with? We've given him everything he wanted."
"Human desires are insatiable; he wants too much. I must stop Liang Dong now and not let him listen to Bo Siye, otherwise it will bring unexpected trouble to the opportunity."
Judging from Han Xi's anxious look, it was clear how serious the matter was.
Madam Shen paced back and forth anxiously, saying in a panic, "What should we do? Maybe I should try to bring Bai Xue back."
Han Xi shook his head: "It's probably too late now. Let us handle this."
Madam Shen looked guilty and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Han Xi added, "I know you're in a difficult position, so it's best not to interfere in either matter and let them handle it themselves."
Madam Shen sighed helplessly, realizing that the current situation was far from what she had hoped for.
"You've had a tough time. It's good that you're here for him."
"Auntie, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will protect Ji Heng and won't let anyone hurt him."
Madam Shen nodded with satisfaction. At least with Han Xi around, Shen Jiheng would be more cautious in his actions.
What she feared most was that Shen Jiheng would target Bo Siye; no one knew how to deal with that.
Madam Shen originally thought that as long as she did her best to be good to Bo Siye and make up for everything he lacked, she could heal the wounds in his heart and stop fighting with Shen Jiheng.
However, given the current situation, it seems pointless to proceed.
On the contrary, Madam Shen also felt that Bo Siye was constantly demanding the Shen family's assets from them. Although he was indeed a descendant of the Shen family, he had never made any contribution to the family.
Even many of the troubles that the Shen Group encountered were due to him.
Despite this, Madam Shen still wanted to influence him, believing that it was because she hadn't taken good care of him back then that he had become the way he was today.
If their love is useless to Bo Siye and instead becomes a tool for him to hurt Shen Jiheng, then she will also take action.
"Han Xi, I have a request, and you must grant it."
Han Xi nodded: "Auntie, please speak."
Madam Shen held her hand and said earnestly, "From now on, no matter what happens between you, you must tell me. Don't worry about making things difficult for me; I have my own judgment."
Han Xi said with difficulty, "But Ji Heng doesn't want you to get involved."
“I understand his thoughts, but this is what I mean, you must tell me, I'm begging you.”
Compared to Bo Siyue, Madam Shen naturally trusted them more. She didn't want to speculate behind their backs anymore and wanted to get to the bottom of things.
Han Xi thought back to how she had also made wild guesses behind people's backs before, and that feeling was indeed unpleasant.
"Okay, Auntie, I promise you, I will report to you as soon as possible if anything happens."
Madam Shen nodded gratefully, "It's a deal."
Han Xi nodded firmly, promising to keep his word.
Time was of the essence, and she couldn't stay too long. She bid farewell to Madam Shen and prepared to go find Liang Dong.
The fact that this person informed her upon returning shows that they still value their relationship and there is hope of persuading her.
When Han Xi returned to the car, he first reported what had happened to Shen Jiheng. He was very pleased to learn about Madam Shen's attitude.
"You must be careful when you go there, and leave immediately if you find anything wrong."
"Don't worry, I've turned on location tracking as you requested. You can detect my location at any time."
During this critical period, Shen Jiheng was worried about her going out. Even though Leng Yu was with her, he still had concerns and asked Han Xi to take the GPS tracker with her when she went out.
Shen Jiheng said, "I also have some good news for you. I already know Assistant Qin's whereabouts. We'll discuss it in detail when you get back."
This was indeed good news, at least it gave her some comfort.
"That's wonderful! I hope he comes back safely and that I can successfully persuade Liang Dong."
"Do your best without pushing yourself too hard. If it really doesn't work, I have other options."
"Leave this to me, I guarantee success."
Having decided to fight alongside him, Han Xi was determined to do everything in her power to help him.
Even knowing that the road ahead would not be easy, she would never back down.
Shen Jiheng could sense her feelings and chuckled softly, "This feeling is wonderful."
He's no longer moving forward alone, and there's no need to hide it anymore; now the two of them are standing on the same side.
"I think so too. Just wait for my good news."
Be careful in everything.
Neither of them felt relaxed after hanging up the phone. Although things had improved, the problem was not yet solved, and they could not let their guard down.
Following the address she received from Madam Shen, Han Xi arrived at the door of an ordinary farmhouse. She knocked on the door and heard footsteps coming from inside, which made her nervous.
The door opened quickly, and sure enough, Liang Dong was standing in front of them.
He hadn't expected Han Xi to appear, and when he tried to close the door, she quickly stopped him.
"Liang Dong, wait a moment. I have something to tell you and something to show you."
"You can leave now. That's all I have to say. I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Han Xi said sincerely, "Although we haven't known each other for long, you should trust my character. Even if you only listen to what Bo Siyue said, at least give me a chance to explain. Do you really trust him that much?!"
