Chapter 471 The Mysterious Package
The two disagreed on this matter. Han Xi understood what he meant, but he didn't understand his own feelings.
Although she and Han Chuang are not related by blood, she has come to regard him as family after spending time together.
Moreover, they were Han Chuang's only support; if they abandoned him at this time, who knew what awaited him?
Shen Jiheng said, "I understand how you feel. You have feelings for him. I will arrange for people to continue the search and bring him back, but..."
Shen Jiheng's tone suddenly turned serious, which startled Han Xi.
Shen Jiheng held her shoulders and said earnestly, "Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Some people are just too demanding. If you back down, they'll take advantage of you."
Han Xi understood that he didn't want to complicate things further; only by staying out of it could he prevent the other party from gaining momentum.
"I see."
"And no matter what Han Xiao does, don't let it affect you. You should know what kind of person she is, so you should be aware of that."
Han Xi nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable with Shen Jiheng's serious demeanor.
"Then there's the issue with Li Hai. Leave it to me. Don't go see him, not even if he asks to. I have a plan."
Han Xi was somewhat surprised, wondering what exactly Shen Jiheng had arranged.
"Ji Heng, you've really changed a lot."
"As I said, the changes are for your better protection. Please remember to let me know if there are any actions you take in the future."
As Shen Jiheng opened the car door for her, he looked at Leng Yu and said, "You failed in your duty today, and I don't want it to happen again."
If it weren't for Director Wu's notification, Shen Jiheng wouldn't have known that she had arranged to meet with Li Hai.
Leng Yu lowered her head in remorse: "I'm sorry, President!"
"Don't blame her, I told her not to say it. I know you have a lot of things to do in the morning, and I was worried about bothering you."
Han Xi didn't think too much about it at the time; he just wanted to find out Li Hai's intentions.
Shen Jiheng put on a gentle smile and tenderly tidied the stray hairs around her ears.
"Okay, I don't blame her. You go back now, see you later."
Han Xi nodded: "Then we'll be going now."
Shen Jiheng blinked, waved goodbye to her, and smiled as he watched the car drive away.
Looking at Shen Jiheng, who was still standing in the same spot, through the rearview mirror, Han Xi frowned and said, "Xiao Yu, have you noticed that Jiheng seems to have changed a lot?"
Leng Yu said calmly, "The president has indeed changed, but the way he looks at you hasn't changed. On the contrary, he seems more concerned. Recently, the president has been surrounded by people with ulterior motives, and I think that's why he's changed."
Han Xi suddenly realized, "Even you understand this principle, but I didn't."
"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly; you'll gradually understand."
Leng Yu did not resent being blamed; instead, she spoke up for Shen Jiheng, knowing that her boss was judging the matter, not the person.
When Han Xi returned to the company and turned on her computer, she found several new emails. When she opened them, she was surprised to find photos of Han Chuang tied to a tree. His face was covered in bruises and blood, and he looked miserable.
Not only Han Chuang, but Han Xiao was also lying on the ground, and it seemed that both of them were being controlled.
The email also contained a few warnings, telling them not to be too arrogant, and that if they didn't let Li Hai go, Han Chuang would pay with his life.
Han Xi immediately told Shen Jiheng about what needed to be done and also forwarded the photos to him.
Shen Jiheng answered her call immediately. Han Xi said in a panic, "Jiheng, did you see that? It's not just a matter of Han Xiao taking him away anymore; they're both trapped."
Shen Jiheng frowned, but still patiently comforted her.
"Don't panic. I've already had the technical team analyze the authenticity of the photos. They might be putting on an act. We'll be able to find the sender soon. Don't panic at this time."
Shen Jiheng's calm tone contrasted sharply with Han Xi's anxious and uneasy demeanor.
Han Chuang was only a few years old. He had finally started to live a peaceful life, and then all this happened. Han Xi felt sorry for him and was worried that he would be in danger.
"Ji Heng, Xiao Chuang will really be alright, right?"
"Yes, I assure you, I will bring the person to you safely."
Shen Jiheng knew very well that Li Hai wouldn't dare to target his people, which was why he had to settle for targeting Han Yue instead.
Han Xi took a deep breath to calm herself down; she had to trust Shen Jiheng.
"Tell me immediately if you have any news."
"Of course, and you must remember what I told you: no matter what they say or show you, don't compromise. As long as we don't fall for their tricks, they can't do anything about it."
These words made Han Xi even more worried. Was it because of Han Chuang's identity that Shen Jiheng didn't care about his life or death?
“Ji Heng, I also hope you remember that Han Chuang is my family, and I must save him.”
Shen Jiheng paused for a few seconds before replying, "I know, don't worry."
The moment Han Xi hung up the phone, she had an indescribable feeling. She wondered if she was overthinking things, but she felt that Shen Jiheng didn't seem to care much.
She seemed to have forgotten that Shen Jiheng used to be really cold-hearted, completely self-centered, and never cared about the life or death of others.
He hates threats the most, and he would rather die than compromise.
If it were Yu Xuan and his sister who were arrested, would he still be so calm?
Looking at the pictures on the computer, Han Chuang's expression was so painful, his eyes filled with helplessness, which pierced Han Xi's nerves.
Han Chuang trusted her so much, treating her like an idol, how could she possibly ignore him?
Now that Bo Siye has stopped causing trouble, she didn't expect there to be other things troubling her.
Han Xi quickly shut down the computer and put her hands to her forehead, wondering how she could possibly save Han Chuang.
Han Xi waited at the company until evening without any news, and she began to doubt whether Shen Jiheng had put his heart into this matter.
She paced anxiously back and forth in her office. If she went back now, Han Yue would definitely come after her, demanding an answer.
what to do?
Knock knock...
The office door opened, and Han Xi turned around to see Leng Yu enter.
She walked forward with a package in her hand.
"Mr. Han, this is a package that the front desk just brought. The delivery person claims that the contents are very important and that you must open it as soon as possible."
Han Xi nodded, and when he reached out to take it, Leng Yu withdrew his hand.
"I'm worried it might be a scam, so I'll dismantle it myself."
As her personal bodyguard, Leng Yu is responsible for her safety. Now they are surrounded by enemies on all sides and must be careful about everything.
But Han Xi still took the things back and smiled, "We're no different. If something really happened, I would also feel uneasy. Let me take it apart."
Leng Yu wanted to stop Han Xi, but Han Xi had already placed it on the desk. She casually picked up a pair of scissors and opened the tape on the outside.
Leng Yu quickly walked to her side and held out her hand in front of her so that she could protect her immediately if anything happened.
As the tape was removed, Han Xi became uneasy.
When the package was fully opened, Han Xi's pupils dilated, and she took two steps back in fright.
Inside was a bloodstained finger. Through the tattoo on the finger, Han Xi trembled and said, "This, this is Han Xiao's ring finger."
