Chapter 521 Taking Action Against the Gu Family
Although Shen Jiheng didn't have much affection for Old Master Bo, he didn't want to see him hurt himself.
Since he had already promised Bo Ya that he would take care of him, he naturally had to fulfill his responsibility.
Old Master Bo looked at the two with some doubt in his eyes. Han Xi understood what he meant and reassured him, "Grandpa Bo, we have already agreed to let you stay, so we won't send you back. Give me the knife first, otherwise it will be troublesome if you get infected."
Bo Xilai stated, "In short, I must stay."
Shen Jiheng was already getting impatient, so Old Master Bo slowly handed him the knife.
Han Xi examined his hand and found a long cut on his palm with congealed blood, indicating that someone had pulled on it while trying to take the knife.
Han Xi frowned and said, "It looks quite serious; we need to take him to the hospital."
Mr. Bo quickly said, "I'm fine."
Shen Jiheng said seriously, "I don't want you to run into problems right after I take over. Old man, please don't be so stubborn."
After saying that, he arranged for Su Qiang to personally take him to the hospital to treat his wounds.
Seeing the departing car, Shen Jiheng's expression turned somewhat solemn.
Han Xi held his hand and smiled, "It's okay. Grandpa Bo knows you care about him. You'll have to get used to each other in the future, but I believe you'll get along well."
Shen Jiheng smiled wryly and said, "You seem to have a good impression of him."
Han Xi nodded: "Grandpa Bo has always given me a very good impression. Even if he did something outrageous, it was out of concern for your safety. I can't hate him."
Shen Jiheng didn't respond, so how could he blame someone who was protecting him?
The two returned to the Shen Group, where Leng Yu approached with the latest newspaper.
"President, President Han, as expected, Bo Siyue has made a move against the Gu family."
The newspapers were full of exposés of Gu Hongyi and his wife's past illegal and terrorist crimes, especially the release of several videos of Ding Shan injuring people, which shows how much effort Bo Siye spent to find these things.
Shen Jiheng frowned and asked, "How has the situation developed?"
Leng Yu replied, "It's going viral on all major websites, and even some people on foreign websites are posting it. Public opinion is flying everywhere, and it has already alarmed the international police."
Han Xi had a terrible headache. She had long anticipated that if these things were released, they would definitely cause a huge uproar.
They thought Bo Siye would still negotiate with them, but it seems he's lost patience and is resorting to ruthless tactics to deal with them.
Shen Jiheng took a deep breath and said, "I have already given advance notice to the major officials these past two days, and they will help suppress the situation."
Han Xi shook his head; things wouldn't be that simple.
She immediately turned on her phone and saw that the entire internet was reporting on these events.
The main problem is that many people are projecting their own emotions onto the victim in the public discourse, pushing the incident to its peak.
“This matter is far more serious than we thought. With Bo Siye pushing it forward, they won’t be able to withstand the pressure from public opinion. I’m going back to the Gu family now.”
If things escalate, other members of the Gu family will also suffer.
We are afraid that some criminals might take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble, so we must take the elderly and children away first.
Shen Jiheng nodded: "You're right, I'll go with you."
Before Han Xi could say anything more, Shen Jiheng had already pulled her out.
"Ji Heng, you still have a lot to deal with."
"The same goes for phone communication. Don't forget that you are also a member of the Gu family. It's not advisable for you to travel alone now to avoid being threatened."
Han Xi knew he was worried about her, so she didn't say anything more at this point.
However, neither of them expected that the car would be unable to get close to the Gu family compound because the area was packed with people, blocking the road completely.
Some people claiming to be relatives of the victims unfurled banners, stood at the door in mourning clothes, and shouted at Gu Hongyi and his wife to get out.
Seeing this, Han Xi said worriedly, "What should we do? We can't get in, and we can't get through to our home phone. We don't know what's going on."
On their way here, they discovered that they couldn't reach anyone from the Gu family by phone. They wondered if someone had cut off the internet here to make them worry.
Shen Jiheng patted her shoulder and said, "Don't rush. I'll call Director Wu and have him bring people over to suppress them. Let's clear them out first."
Han Xi nodded. The Gu family compound contained elderly people, children, and Zhuo Qingqian, a pregnant woman, so they couldn't be frightened.
If Han Xi had known these things would happen, she wouldn't have brought Gu Hongyi and the others back; she would have let Zhuo Qingqian stay abroad instead.
After finishing the call, Shen Jiheng saw Han Xi's regretful expression and comforted her, "Don't blame yourself. Bo Siye is deliberately targeting the Gu family. No matter where you run, you can't escape. Since it has already happened, we'll find a way to resolve it."
Han Xi sighed and said, "When I found out about this, I was also very conflicted. You know, there's only one way to solve it."
As a lawyer, Han Xi knew the whole story and understood that the only way to resolve the issue was to go to jail.
Seeing her expression, Shen Jiheng understood and calmly said, "If that's really the case, don't blame yourself. They made a mistake and deserve to be punished."
Han Xi nodded: "I believe they understand this now, but the problem is that with Bo Siye interfering, it's not just a legal issue. Look how agitated these people are; even if they go to jail, they'll be in great danger."
In such a chaotic situation, no one can guarantee safety, which is what Han Xi is worried about.
Shen Jiheng naturally understood his meaning and said sternly, "Therefore, we must first ensure their safety and absolutely not allow them to be detained."
Once detained, they are no longer under their control.
Han Xi frowned and nodded, listening to the deafening roar, wondering how the children were doing.
Half an hour later, Director Wu arrived with his men, but there were hundreds of people present, and their dozen or so men were of no use at all.
“As the bureau chief, you are protecting evildoers. You should arrest and interrogate them. They must have done other bad things as well.”
“My daughter was missing for several years. When she was finally found, she was unrecognizable. It was all done by this vicious woman, Ding Shan. She is a murderer. Why can she live comfortably in a mansion while my daughter has to be buried underground forever?”
"I will make the murderer pay for her crimes in blood. If the law cannot restrain them, I will personally eliminate her!"
......
Director Wu's arrival did not have a deterrent effect; instead, it aroused public anger, with many people even trying to push and shove them away.
Shen Jiheng frowned upon seeing this and muttered, "Some of these people are deliberately stirring up emotions; they must be people arranged by Bo Siye."
Han Xi saw people starting to bang on the door, and some even picked up stones and threw them into the yard. She clenched her fists in distress, never expecting that such a riot would happen to them.
Han Xi opened the car door but was stopped by Shen Jiheng.
"Don't be impulsive. Going down now won't help, and it will only make us the target."
“But they’ll break down the door sooner or later. If we don’t stop them from rushing in, it will be a problem. Even if it’s dangerous, I have to do it.”
Shen Jiheng grabbed her hand and shook his head, saying that acting impulsively wouldn't solve the problem.
