Chapter 482 The Show Is Still Going On
After all this turmoil, Han Xi felt physically and mentally exhausted. If anything else happened, everyone would go crazy.
Ever since their conflict with Bo Siye implicated Zhuo Qingqian, Han Xi had specifically sent someone to investigate the overseas health center. They found no evidence that Bo Siye had placed anyone there, so he had indeed been deceiving them before.
Since there are no problems over there, they want Zhuo Qingqian and the others to go back.
Zhuo Qingqian understood her good intentions and nodded, saying, "I'll go back and discuss it with your brother before making a decision."
Han Xi held her hand and smiled. If she hadn't found Zhuo Qingqian, she really wouldn't know how to face Gu Beichen.
Han Xi can only be at ease now that they are safe and sound.
Shen Jiheng looked out the window, still unsettled about who the person who had been helping them was.
Since Bo Siyue had someone take Zhuo Qingqian to the farmhouse, he must have expected that they would come looking for her. He must be extremely disappointed right now, since none of the people he was waiting for showed up.
Just as Shen Jiheng had predicted, Bo Siye was furious and smashed everything in the farmhouse.
He deliberately used threats to lure Zhuo Qingqian out, intending to bring her to the farmhouse to draw Shen Jiheng and the others over.
He had thugs all around, determined to ensure that Shen Jiheng would not return alive.
To make matters worse, when Li Yuan returned to report that Zhuo Qingqian had been taken away and even Li Hai had died suddenly, he felt like a joke.
"It must have been Shen Jiheng who did it. He ordered people to get rid of Li Hai just to help Zhuo Qingqian get away with her crime. He even dared to arrange for someone to kidnap her halfway. It's simply hateful."
Li Yuan lowered his head and said, "President Bo, I have a feeling that the person who took Miss Zhuo away was not Shen Jiheng's man."
Bo Siye looked over coldly: "What do you mean?"
“Those people didn’t seem like ordinary bodyguards; they looked more like military personnel. And I found out that Shen Jiheng was on his way to the farmhouse at that time, which means he was unaware of it.”
When Li Yuan was leading Zhuo Qingqian to the farmhouse, they were blocked by several cars. The other party was armed and moved swiftly and decisively. The two of them had no chance to fight back and had no choice but to hand her over.
Hearing this analysis, Bo Siye frowned and asked incredulously, "Did you talk to them? Do they look Chinese?"
Li Yuan shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. He did say a few words, but his Mandarin wasn't standard."
Bo Siye vaguely thought of something and couldn't help but smile.
"Well, now she's starting to help her nephew."
"President Bo, do you know who it is?"
"Of course it's Shen Jiheng's all-powerful aunt, Bo Ya. After she married into the royal family, it's said that the Duke gave her an army, and now it's being used on me."
Bo Siye clenched his fists. This aunt who was willing to give him a listed company as an apology was actually going against him behind his back. Was she going to side with Shen Jiheng?
That's true, they are the real family, and it's ridiculous that I've become an outsider.
"So what do we do next?"
"No need to rush, the best is yet to come."
Even with Bo Ya's help, Bo Siye can still defeat Shen Jiheng.
The Gu Family Compound.
Han Xi successfully brought Zhuo Qingqian back, but upon entering the house, he only found the two elderly people in the living room.
While on the way, Han Xi sent a message to Gu Beichen, telling him that he was on his way back and that he should have come out to greet him, so it was a little strange that he didn't see him.
"Grandma, where's my brother?!"
Grandma Gu pointed upstairs: "He went upstairs."
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Gu looked at Zhuo Qingqian and asked, "Qianqian, did you two have another fight? I saw that Beichen looked very upset and stormed upstairs."
Zhuo Qingqian thought that her sudden departure must have worried him, so she nodded and said, "It's because I didn't do some things well. I'll go and comfort him."
"My brother is easy to please, you go ahead." Han Xi knew that Gu Beichen truly loved her and was just too anxious.
Zhuo Qingqian patted her hand and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll go upstairs first."
Finally, the problem was solved, and Han Xi felt relieved.
She suddenly remembered something and hurriedly turned around.
"Ji Heng, I remember you had an important meeting this afternoon. Did I make you late?"
Seeing her self-reproachful expression, Shen Jiheng held her hand and shook his head.
"It's alright, I've already declined. Nothing is more important than you. I just need you to promise me one thing: no matter what happens in the future, you must never do something like what happened today."
It's fortunate that the people behind the scenes helped her this time; what if it was a trap set by Bo Siye that could harm her?
Shen Jiheng dared not let his guard down now, fearing that he would regret it for the rest of his life if danger occurred.
Seeing his panicked appearance, Han Xi said with heartache, "I'm sorry, my mind wasn't working properly at the time. I was just too worried about Qianqian's safety. You know I just lost a loved one."
Shen Jiheng put his arm around her shoulder and nodded: "It's precisely because I understand how you feel that I'm so worried. When people lose their minds, their IQ drops. I'm worried that you're in danger."
I'm sorry for making you worry.
“I don’t blame you, but remember to consider us before making any decisions in the future. Now that Miss Zhuo has safely returned to Beichen’s side, we should leave.”
Han Xi nodded, took his hand, and prepared to leave. However, just as the two stepped out of the house, they heard the sound of something being smashed upstairs, which startled Han Xi so much that she immediately stopped.
She knew their personalities well; although they bickered sometimes after getting together, they never resorted to violence.
"Oh no, something must have happened."
From inside the house, Old Mrs. Gu's questioning voice came: "What are you two doing? Bei Chen, did you lay a hand on me?"
Upon hearing the sound, Han Xi immediately ran back, with Shen Jiheng following closely behind.
Seeing that Grandma Gu had reached the stairwell, Han Xi quickly called her back.
"Grandma, let me go up and take a look."
Grandma Gu said anxiously, "What's wrong with those two? They've been making a fuss lately. Before you came back, Beichen was happily waiting for you in the living room, but after receiving a package, he completely changed."
Han Xi immediately had a bad feeling, and Shen Jiheng's expression also became serious.
Based on his understanding of Gu Beichen, this man cherishes Zhuo Qingqian and would never allow a dispute to occur at a time like this.
Han Xi tentatively asked, "Grandma, do you know what's inside the package?"
Grandma Gu shook her head: "I glanced at it at the time, but Beichen wouldn't let me see it. I vaguely saw some photos or something, like documents."
Han Xi sensed something was wrong and gave Shen Jiheng a look, telling him to stay with Old Madam Gu while she ran up first.
Shen Jiheng understood and supported Grandma Gu's arm: "Grandma, I heard from Han Xi that you are very good at Go. I also studied it for a few years. I would like to play a game with you."
Grandma Gu could naturally see that he was trying to distract her. She couldn't interfere with the young man's affairs, so she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll test your chess skills."
Shen Jiheng nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the stairwell. He wondered what was going on with Gu Beichen and hoped that he wouldn't cause them any more trouble.
