Chapter 460 Unleashing the Trump Card
Although Han Xi had considered this possibility on the way here, she hesitated to think about Shen Jiheng because Shen Mingzhu was seriously injured.
But that's how it is; Shen Jiheng never even considered hiding it.
Shen Jiheng nodded: "Yes, after the dean reminded me last time, I knew they would make their move sooner or later. So, before I found out what they were planning, I did something to help her make the act more convincing."
Han Xi frowned and said, "In that case, she will think that she was tricked by Bo Siye and used her life to frame you."
Shen Jiheng said coldly, "I have let her go many times. She has been testing my patience time and time again. It is time for her to know the consequences of her own actions."
That makes sense, and Han Xi also knows that Shen Mingzhu has committed many evils and should be punished.
But one thing worried her was Shen Mingzhu's situation, which was truly heartbreaking.
Shen Jiheng saw through her thoughts and said, "I know you are kind-hearted, and given the special nature of this matter, that's why I didn't tell you, to avoid making you feel bad."
But even now that she knows the truth, she still feels bad.
"Now that things have come to this, I don't know what to say."
"Then there's no need to say anything. Isn't this the situation I need? Bo Siyue tried every means to win their hearts before, and now he'll taste the bitterness of failure."
Han Xi really didn't expect him to be so ruthless, disregarding any feelings.
"He did fail, and he couldn't beat you."
“I’ve said it before, it’s not that I don’t want to fight, it’s that I disdain it. I want him to understand that once I make a move, he won’t even have a chance to fight back.”
"I didn't expect that much. It turns out you really can solve these problems on your own."
No wonder Shen Jiheng always told her not to worry about it, as she couldn't help at all.
Shen Jiheng put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Leave this to me, you go home and be with the children."
Seeing that she was not in a stable mood, Shen Jiheng tried to prevent her from behaving abnormally later and letting them notice.
Han Xi understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first. I'll stay with Dad for now. Come find me when you're done."
Shen Jiheng escorted her to the elevator and instructed Leng Yu to take her home safely.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Han Xi suddenly felt that he was a little unfamiliar, or perhaps this was his true self.
The Shen family are not to be trifled with. How could he, at such a young age, be able to sit firmly in the position of power? Could it be that he only relies on his business acumen?
With a heavy heart, I stepped out of the elevator, where Bo Siye was waiting.
Seeing this, Leng Yu immediately stepped in front of him, and Bo Siye said, "Let's talk."
"President Han, don't go near this person, he's dangerous."
Han Xi patted her shoulder: "If he wanted to hurt us, he would have done it already."
As Han Xi spoke, she gestured with her chin to look behind her. When they came out just now, Bo Siye's two top-notch bodyguards were standing behind them. If they had wanted to make a move, they would have been subdued long ago.
Leng Yu was also terrified when she saw it; the other party moved too fast, and she didn't have time to react at all.
If she really made a move, she wouldn't even have a chance to retaliate.
"It won't take up much of your time. Here's a coffee for you."
Bo Siye was truly frustrated this time. He never expected that his carefully laid plans would be so easily ruined by Shen Jiheng.
Not only that, but they also turned the tables on him, severing his relationship with the Shen family.
Han Xi nodded: "Let's go, there's a coffee shop right across the street."
After saying that, he looked at Leng Yu and said, "If you feel uneasy, you can also inform Ji Heng. I know this is your job."
Leng Yu looked at her with a troubled expression, and had no choice but to follow her.
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Bo Siye ordered her favorite flavor.
The resentment on his face was gone; instead, he wore his usual gentle smile, creating an atmosphere as if they had returned to the past.
"Are the children alright? I heard that your uncle took them back."
"It's better than I expected."
“The last time I saw Yumo in the park, she greeted me first. Now she has become a lively and cheerful little girl. I am really happy for her.”
Back then, Bo Siye loved the children very much and took good care of them. If what happened later hadn't happened, he would have been his best friend for life.
"She has many hobbies now, and communication is no longer a problem."
"That's wonderful, these are all your wishes."
Han Xi was somewhat lost in thought; she had almost forgotten how long it had been since the two of them had sat down and had a proper chat like this.
How wonderful it would be if they could just talk about these comforting topics and stop fighting.
However, Han Xi knew that this was only temporary. Bo Siye harbored too much resentment, and with Ji Heng having tricked him again, he would definitely be even more furious.
“You waited for me specifically, it couldn’t be to tell me this.”
Bo Siye smiled bitterly and said, "Han Xi, you have always stood on the side of justice. You should know that I was framed by Shen Jiheng this time."
Han Xi retorted, "Wasn't it you who instigated Mingzhu to deal with him? If you hadn't gone too far, how would he have had the chance? So if you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself first."
Bo Siyue nodded: "You're right. It's all my fault for thinking of such a stupid idea. But as you can see, I'm now at odds with the Shen family. I finally had a family, and now I'm losing them like this. I'm not willing to accept it."
Han Xi shook his head, and the distance between the two widened again.
"Don't you think your idea is ridiculous? If I help you, wouldn't I be putting Ji Heng in a position of being unrighteous and unjust?"
Even if Han Xi disagreed with Shen Jiheng's actions, he couldn't possibly help Bo Siye deal with him.
Bo Siye smiled and said, "Do you know why I came to you? Only you can make this convincing. Shen Jiheng dared to play me like this, how could I let it go?"
Han Xi firmly stated, "You don't need to say anything more; there is absolutely no way I will agree to that."
Bo Siyue confidently replied, "No, you will agree, because I have leverage."
Hearing this, Han Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a panic, "What do you mean? What are your bargaining chips?"
Bo Siye sat up straight and looked her over, raising an eyebrow to let her think about it herself.
Han Xi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "You're trying to threaten me with something as trivial as this."
Bo Siye nodded. "Smart. It's up to you to choose between your best friend and your loved one. I know they are equally important to you."
Bo Siye still has an ace up his sleeve, and now is the time to bring it out.
Han Xi said angrily, "I thought you had a change of heart after this incident and would no longer fight with us. Why did you have to be so heartless? Qianqian has nothing to do with our struggle."
Bo Siye smiled and said, "No, it's related. Anything that can restrain you is useful to me. I will definitely make Shen Jiheng lose to me."
Han Xi gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.
Bo Siye set a condition: "I'll give you a day to consider it. If you still haven't explained the situation to the Shen family, then I will expose this matter."
He then added, "By the way, I also know that you asked Li Hai for help, but let me tell you, it was completely useless."
