Chapter 88 I'd Already Planned My Escape Route
Han Xi opened the email and saw the whole story, including everything Shen Jiheng was manipulating behind the scenes, all of which was exposed without any changes.
Han Xi still hoped that he could give her justice, after all, how important is a woman's reputation, doesn't he understand?
Moreover, he is a lawyer; if he were to lose his reputation, how could he continue in this profession?
But in order to protect Bai Xue, he tried to use his power to cover up the matter, which made Han Xi furious and unable to forgive him.
Han Xi didn't know how much self-control she used to hold back her anger at the beginning, just wanting to see if Shen Jiheng would take the initiative to confess to her.
But there was nothing there!
I didn't even see a trace of guilt on his face.
How could he be so cruel to himself, and still have the nerve to say he's important?
Han Xi now feels disgusted by anything related to him.
"Things aren't as complicated as you think. It's all a misunderstanding. I've already arranged public relations, and I can help you sort it out tomorrow."
Shen Jiheng did find out that Bai Xue was responsible for the incident. When he confronted her, Bai Xue honestly confessed what had happened.
Bai Xue said that she happened to see the two of them together and thought they were having an affair, so she took the photos. She happened to be having dinner with a reporter friend when the topic came up. She said that the other party took her phone and stole the pictures when she was not there.
Shen Jiheng was worried that Han Xi would find out and make her angry, which would deepen the conflict between the two, so he wanted to resolve the issue secretly.
Han Xi threw the information he had gathered next to Shen Jiheng.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly, isn't this a misunderstanding? What has your white moonlight done?"
Shen Jiheng picked up several documents from the table and saw photos of Bai Xue making a deal with a reporter, as well as evidence that she had hired online trolls to smear Han Xi.
Not only that, but even the fact that she and Shen Jiheng trended on social media on the day she returned to China was orchestrated by her behind the scenes.
Shen Jiheng was incredulous after reading it; Bai Xue clearly hadn't said that.
Han Xi then said, "Since things have come to this point, I'll be frank with some things. A few days ago, she came to my apartment and said that you were the one who instructed her. Is that true?"
Shen Jiheng was completely dumbfounded. When did he let Bai Xue go?
He paused for a moment before figuring things out.
"What else did she say when she came to see you?"
"So it's true. She said you agreed to the divorce, but on one condition: I have to cure your nephew. You said you didn't need me to donate bone marrow anymore. Which statement is true?"
Shen Jiheng was shocked. He never expected that Bai Xue would do these things behind his back. No wonder Han Xi looked at him with such hatred. It turned out that this was the reason.
In his mind, Bai Xue was an innocent and naive girl who couldn't possibly be scheming.
If they really did these things, then their scheming is so deep that they have manipulated themselves completely.
Han Xi said angrily, "I called you here today to tell you seriously that your nephew's life or death has nothing to do with me. If you dare to touch the child in my belly, I will fight you to the death."
Shen Jiheng understood her anger and stepped forward to hold her shoulders, explaining, "I knew nothing about what you're talking about, nor did I know she went to see you."
Han Xi pushed him away and glared at him with disdain.
"You're ridiculous. Now you're trying to shirk responsibility, but didn't you just admit it?"
"That's not how it works. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation."
Shen Jiheng was visibly anxious. Every time she argued with Han Xi before, although she was angry, she never had this desperate expression.
Her current attitude made Shen Jiheng realize that there was really no room for reversal.
"I will no longer trust you, Shen Jiheng. If you still refuse to divorce me, I will post all of this online and let everyone see what you have done to me."
Han Xi's toughness was beyond Shen Jiheng's control, and things became increasingly complicated, far beyond his control.
If these messages are actually released, they will cause unpredictable damage to the Shen family.
"I'll consider it, but give me some time."
"Impossible, see you in court."
After finishing her sentence, Han Xi picked up her bag and left. She went to the front desk and asked the waiter to carefully clean up the mess in the private room. She also gave him compensation.
Shen Jiheng stood there stunned, only coming to his senses when the waiter came in.
He immediately drove to Snow White's residence.
Bai Xue ran up to the door when she heard the doorbell ring, opened the door, and saw Shen Jiheng. Her eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "Brother Jiheng, what brings you here?"
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Chen Jiheng, only to find that he seemed to be in a very low mood today, and she couldn't pull him at all if he stood still.
"Brother Ji Heng, what happened? You seem very angry."
Shen Jiheng looked at her. Her face was harmless, and her eyes were innocent and pure. She didn't seem like someone who would do bad things at all.
"Xue'er, I'm giving you a chance to confess now. Tell me honestly, did you do all this?"
Bai Xue's heart skipped a beat. Did Shen Jiheng know the truth?
She gave an awkward laugh: "I don't quite understand what you mean. Didn't I already explain it to you?"
Shen Jiheng frowned, realizing that Bai Xue was no longer the innocent girl she used to be.
He took out the evidence he had brought back from Han Xi and handed it to her. Bai Xue pretended to be calm and took it.
Upon seeing the irrefutable evidence above, she collapsed to the ground, her body going limp.
"Brother Ji Heng..."
"Because I protected you, I hurt Han Xi, and you even impersonated me to make her abort her child and completely give up on me."
Bai Xue hurriedly shook her head and knelt down at his feet to hold his thigh.
"Brother Ji Heng, I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this either, I was forced to."
"If you're still trying to shirk responsibility now, then tell me, who forced you to do this?"
Bai Xue cried bitterly and said, "It was Gu Hanxi. She made a deal with me: if I could get you two divorced, she would let me return to the Gu family. If I didn't obey her orders, she would have her friends kill me."
Fortunately, Bo Siyue had planned this escape route for Bai Xue beforehand: if the plan failed, she could blame it all on Gu Hanxi.
Anyway, Bo Siye still has dirt on her, and she dares not deny these crimes.
Shen Jiheng never expected that Gu Hanxi would be implicated in the end.
Are you telling the truth?
Bai Xue nodded pitifully: "I didn't lie to you. You can go to Gu Hanxi to verify. I was quickly targeted after I returned to Yucheng. They kept threatening me. I didn't want you to worry, so I had to do what they asked."
Shen Jiheng's expression was extremely ugly. That damned Gu Hanxi is locked up in prison and still won't behave.
Bai Xue sobbed, "I didn't want to hurt my sister-in-law either, but she was pressuring me so much that I had no choice but to say these things to her to make her angry and leave you. Brother Ji Heng, I know I was wrong. You can punish me however you want."
Bai Xue knew that Shen Jiheng, who appeared cold and ruthless on the outside, was actually a person who valued loyalty and affection.
If Bai Xue was truly forced into it, Shen Jiheng naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her.
“I will verify this. If I find out you lied to me, you should know the consequences.”
