Chapter 500 Holding Back a Plan
Although Han Xi was eating, he ate very slowly. After chewing, he would wipe his mouth with a tissue and spit it out, barely swallowing anything.
She saw patterns of longevity cakes on the Kongming lanterns floating in the air. Although they were not very clear, almost every lantern had an abstract pattern, which made her realize that Shen Jiheng was sending her a message.
If she wasn't mistaken, it really was a birthday cake, which was consistent with the poisoning incident in the Shen family, reminding her that the food was poisoned.
After understanding the plan, Han Xi first responded to the other party, and then instructed Bo Ya not to eat anything to avoid poisoning.
"You said you were very hungry, but you seem to be eating very little."
As he spoke, Bo Siyue placed another piece of pork rib on her plate. This was the woman he had decided to spend his life with, so naturally he wanted to treat her well.
Although he used improper means to force her to marry him, Bo Siyue believed that she would not regret it in the future.
Han Xi's current task was to stall for time. She put down her chopsticks and sighed.
"You should be able to understand how I feel right now; I have no appetite."
"You won't be like this once the dust settles."
Han Xi wore a heavy expression; she now needed to find a way to get the key to lock up Bo Ya.
"Can't you really untie your aunt's chains? She's family, and she helped you a lot back then. Although she secretly helped Ji Heng, she never intended to hurt you. She was even willing to give you her personal assets as compensation."
Bo Siye also put down his chopsticks and said earnestly, "Don't you understand that what I need is this compensation? What have I lost because of their selfishness back then? Ask yourself and think about it."
“I understand all of this. Everyone feels indebted to you, which is why we are willing to let go of our hatred. But the problem is that you refuse to give up.”
Han Xi truly sympathized with his plight, and even Shen Jiheng was willing to let go of his past after learning about his background.
The one who has refused to cease hostilities all along is Bo Siye, who even wants to drag everyone down with him.
Bo Siye shook his head, "It hasn't reached what I wanted yet, it shouldn't be like this."
"If you continue like this, you will only deepen the hatred and eventually lead to your destruction."
"They should be the ones to perish. I will not lose."
Seeing that he was angry, Han Xi quickly changed the subject, picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and said, "Forget it, let's not argue about these things. We should get along well in the future. Now that I've ruined the kitchen, we need to fill our stomachs first."
Seeing that Bo Siye didn't intend to make a move, Han Xi took the initiative to serve him some food.
"Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
It was rare to see Han Xi being so considerate, so Bo Siye didn't want to spoil the atmosphere and picked up his chopsticks again.
Han Xi smiled, but secretly glanced at the others. She was surprised to find that not everyone was eating together; half of the people hadn't moved.
She asked curiously, "Why aren't they eating?"
Bo Siye explained, "After all, we're traveling and eating food delivered by a restaurant. It would be troublesome if something happened if everyone ate together."
Han Xi nodded in realization, not expecting that Bo Siye had a trick up his sleeve.
"I see, that makes sense."
After Han Xi finished speaking, she looked at the food on the table with concern. If Shen Jiheng and the others really put something in there, wouldn't that expose them?
Bo Siye added, "They are divided into two groups, and each group eats an hour apart to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"That's really cunning," Han Xi nodded in agreement. "Better safe than sorry. You're very thoughtful."
Bo Siye smiled knowingly. If he couldn't even think of this, how could he lead these people?
Seeing that Han Xi's expression was a little strange, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? You seem absent-minded."
Han Xi shook her head: "I'm just worried about my aunt. She can't eat anything right now and has no energy. What if she has a miscarriage?"
Bo Siye said, "You're telling me all this just so I can unlock the chains on her feet. I can promise you that as long as you don't make that request, everything else is negotiable."
Han Xi saw that he was not going to budge on this issue, and there was no point in continuing. The others hadn't changed after eating the food, so it seemed that there was nothing inside.
Next, we need to contact Shen Jiheng in order to rescue Bo Ya from both inside and outside.
"Then have someone fix the kitchen. If Auntie gets hungry tonight, I can make her something to eat."
Bo Siye nodded: "No problem."
After saying that, he waved to Li Yuan, telling him to immediately find a professional to come and repair it.
Han Xi then said, "I don't know if there's a supermarket nearby. I'd like to go for a walk after dinner. Will you come with me?"
Bo Siye frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Han Xi laughed and said, "What are you worried about? I did all this to take care of my aunt. Besides, she's locked up here by you. Do you think I'd run away?"
That makes sense. Everything Han Xi did was to help Bo Ya get out of trouble. Even if she was allowed to leave, she would obediently come back.
"Okay, I'll go with you later."
Even if it's a brief and insincere friendship, he wants to cherish it.
On the rooftop across the street, Shen Jiheng was using binoculars to check the situation inside the villa. The message he had originally given Han Xi was to poison the food so that he could rush in and rescue the people after they passed out.
They had indeed tampered with the food, but a single comment from the delivery person made them realize they had been tricked.
The delivery person told them that the people inside eat separately, with at least an hour between meals, and that if something happens, the people at the back won't eat.
If that's the case, then their plan will fail. Even if there are only half the people in the villa, it will be difficult for them to safely rescue the hostages.
"President, we received a report about the situation inside the house. They want to find professional repairmen because they say the kitchen has been destroyed."
Bo Siye would never do such a thing; he must have listened to Han Xi's advice. This is indeed a good opportunity to pass on a message.
"Disguise yourself and sneak in. See if they need any help from us. Also, give this to her."
Shen Jiheng took out a bracelet from his pocket and instructed, "This bracelet can make phone calls and track locations. If we can give it to her, we won't have to go through so much trouble to pass messages."
The two sides are currently unable to connect, and Shen Jiheng dares not make any rash moves. This waiting is causing him great torment.
With his beloved in the hands of the enemy and constantly in danger, how could he possibly remain calm?
In order not to hurt Bo Ya, all Shen Jiheng can do now is wait.
"Don't worry, President, I will definitely find a way to deliver the items to President Han."
"Closely monitor their actions and report any information immediately."
Now that he couldn't miss even the slightest piece of information, Shen Jiheng wanted to act as soon as possible.
After Leng Yu left, he picked up his binoculars again to continue observing and was surprised to find that Han Xi walked out of the villa, accompanied by Bo Siye, with bodyguards in front and behind, indicating that they were about to go out.
Shen Jiheng could sense that Han Xi must have managed to get out in order to make contact with them.
