Chapter 117 What Secret Is Hidden?
Shen Jiheng thought himself clever and capable of strategizing in everything, but now he realized that he had been manipulated by these people all those years ago.
He didn't blame Bai Xue because Dr. Liu's diagnosis made him believe that Bai Xue's injuries were too severe, causing her to lose her mind.
It's normal that she couldn't tell you that Han Xi was tied up in the house under these circumstances.
Now I realize that she was lying all along.
Seeing Shen Jiheng's reddened eyes, Dr. Liu knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for being so foolish. Please forgive me."
Shen Jiheng turned to Han Xi, who was equally angry, and said, "The person you have wronged the most is her. Because of your selfishness, she lost her child."
Dr. Liu quickly bowed to Han Xi: "Mrs. Shen, I'm so sorry. I was foolish back then. You can make it up to me however you want. Please ask Mr. Shen to let me go."
Han Xi shook his head: "Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a doctor."
Shen Jiheng immediately said, "Revoke his medical license. Since he can't save people, then cripple his hands as well."
Dr. Liu stared wide-eyed in horror, about to speak, but Shen Jiheng gestured for her to shut up.
He's already showing mercy by sparing his life; if he's further provoked, Shen Jiheng can't guarantee what terrible things he might do.
He had said long ago that he would not let any of those involved go unpunished.
Dr. Liu collapsed to the ground; this was his own fault, and he had no one else to blame.
Shen Jiheng led Han Xi away, gritting his teeth as he said, "We're going to find Bai Xue now and ask her about what happened back then."
A fire was burning in Shen Jiheng's heart, spreading to every cell in his body.
He can't wait a moment longer; he has to get to the bottom of things.
He thought Han Xi would be even more excited than him, but to his surprise, she looked at the time and shook her head.
"It's already past midnight, let's continue tomorrow."
Shen Jiheng looked at her with a puzzled expression. As the biggest victim, she should have been more impulsive than him when faced with this situation.
Moreover, the investigation has progressed to this point, and the truth is almost revealed. Why is she still backing down?
Could it be that someone is waiting for her?
"Are you in such a hurry to go back because you're going to find Bo Siye?"
Han Xi sighed, "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm just very tired and need to rest."
Han Yuxuan doesn't need her to worry. He's sensible and won't cry even if he wakes up and doesn't see her.
But Han Yumo is different. She has lacked a sense of security since childhood and is introverted. Han Xi would be afraid if he couldn't see her at night, so he had to go back as soon as possible.
Shen Jiheng saw no fatigue on her face, only anxiety.
He secretly observed Han Xi; she kept glancing at her watch, as if she had an appointment with someone.
"Since you're tired, come to my house to rest. We can go find Bai Xue first thing tomorrow morning."
"...You either take me back home right now, or I'll take a taxi myself."
Han Xi almost fainted from anger at his words; he had misdirected his jealousy.
Seeing that she was angry, Shen Jiheng reluctantly opened the car door. They had finally managed to build a friendly relationship, and he couldn't let it be ruined like this.
"Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Han Xi didn't want to go upstairs in the middle of the night looking for a car; during the day, she would stay as far away from him as possible.
Even though Shen Jiheng behaved normally the first few times, he seemed to lose his rationality once it came to matters of the heart.
It's best to stay away from this kind of person.
The temperature inside the bus was terrifyingly low; even though the air conditioning wasn't on, it felt as if everyone was covered in a layer of frost.
It's all thanks to the two people in the back seat.
Back at the Gu family's door, Han Xi said as she got out of the car, "Thank you for bringing me back. I'll contact you again tomorrow."
Han Xi wanted to find out what happened back then even more than he did, but the child was more important right now.
Despite feeling uncomfortable, Shen Jiheng still nodded in acknowledgment as a gentleman.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After Han Xi finished speaking, she left quickly without looking back. Shen Jiheng stared at her back, completely puzzled as to what was making her so anxious.
What secrets is Han Xi hiding that he doesn't want him to know?
"President, shall we go find Miss Bai next?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head: "Go home."
He still wanted to find out about this matter personally with Han Xi.
Han Xi quickly ran back to her room, opened the door and saw Han Yuxuan comforting her tearful younger sister on the bed. Seeing her return was like seeing a savior.
"Mom is back."
Han Xi felt both warm and pained. She stepped forward and rubbed Han Yuxuan's head, choking back tears as she said, "Our brother is so great. It's all thanks to you being there for your sister."
Han Yuxuan yawned and laughed, "I'm a man, I have to take care of my mom and sister."
Han Xi touched his face with relief; his young age always made her feel at ease.
Han Xi picked up her still-crying daughter and wiped away her tears.
"Yumo, don't cry. I'm sorry, Mom came home too late. I won't do it again."
"Mommy~"
Han Yumo let out a cry that sounded like a cat's meow, which broke Han Xi's heart.
Over the years, she has been taking care of her two children alone. Her daughter's poor health and frequent hospital visits have left her exhausted.
"Okay, let's go back to sleep. Mom will tell you a story."
Han Xi lay in the middle, holding one child in each arm. Han Yuxuan, who was already sleepy, quickly fell asleep while holding his mother's arms. Only Han Yumo stared at her with wide eyes, her gaze always lacking a sense of security.
Han Xi hopes that she will be cheerful and happy, and be able to communicate normally like other children, but this process will be a little difficult.
The next day, Han Xi was awakened by a series of urgent rings. She picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Shen Jiheng.
It's only seven in the morning, isn't he being a little too eager?
Han Xi, afraid of waking the child, quietly went outside before answering the phone.
"Shen Jiheng, I'm telling you..."
"Something's happened to Bai Xue!"
Before Han Xi could finish speaking, Shen Jiheng quickly interrupted her.
Han Xi was now wide awake and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Shen Jiheng sighed and said, "I'm in the hospital now. This morning, my grandma was attacked by thugs while she was out for her morning exercise. Luckily, Bai Xue appeared just in time and was stabbed twice while saving my grandma. She was just taken to the operating room."
"......"
Upon hearing this news, Han Xi was at a loss for words. The truth of what happened back then was finally about to come to light, but the prime suspect had just been caught.
Even if Bai Xue has committed heinous crimes, she has done a good deed by saving the old lady, and Shen Jiheng will definitely not blame her.
When Shen Jiheng didn't hear her response, he said, "It seems we can only ask her about what happened back then when she wakes up. I'll let you know when I have any news."
Han Xi responded and hung up the phone. Wasn't all of this too coincidental?
However, their search for Dr. Liu was conducted in secret, so Bai Xue couldn't possibly have heard a word about it.
In addition, she did often accompany the old lady to do morning exercises, so it was not unexpected to suddenly run into her.
Han Xi returned to her room and was no longer sleepy. She changed her clothes and prepared to go somewhere.
Although Snow White cannot answer her question now, there is someone who can give her the answer she wants.
Before leaving, Han Xi asked Gu Beichen to take care of the children. Fortunately, both children are now willing to stay with him, so this nominal father title is well-deserved.
