Bai Chenxi also grew suspicious. "How could there be such a coincidence? You even met CEO Bai right when he was on his way here."
He narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that this entire matter of Fang Xinxin asking me here was planned by you?"
Fang Manxue was flustered to death.
Even if this matter was truly done by her, she would never admit to it. "No… how can you wrong me like this! If I really did this, would I appear here for you guys to accuse me?"
"Hmph." Bai Chenxi was a relatively intelligent man.
His gaze shifted onto Bai Qinghao in fear before he glared at Fang Manxue. "Do you dare say that you didn't take the risk to come here and climb into CEO Bai's bed?"
"I… I didn't." Fang Manxue was gnashing her teeth in frustration now.
Admitting it wouldn't do. Denying it wouldn't help either.
If she admitted that she was taking the initiative to climb into Bai Qinghao's bed, she would appear to be too low.
But she feared that if she denied it, she would lose this opportunity.
Bai Qinghao suddenly reached for Bai Chenxi's phone and immediately dialled Fang Xinxin's number.
Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring, ring!
The ringtone played loudly from Fang Manxue's purse.
Fang Manxue instantly turned pale. She deeply regretted not tossing Fang Xinxin's phone card away earlier.
Bai Chenxi's eyes widened in anger. He raised his voice. "Fang Manxue. You cheap whore, it was really you!"
He did not mind her efforts to ruin Fang Xinxin. However, she had dragged him in it with her and nearly caused him to lose his life. She really deserved to die!
Bai Qinghao's tall and broad figure seemed to be enveloped by an aura of death. His sharp, frigid gaze landed on Fang Manxue, appearing as though he was staring at someone who was already dead.
Compared to Bai Chenxi's frustration, Bai Qinghao's anger was a hundred times more frightening. Fang Manxue's legs instantly turned weak. "CEO Bai, I…"
"How did Fang Xinxin's phone end up in your hands?" Bai Qinghao gritted these words out coldly.
"I, I didn't…" Fang Manxue brought her phone out. "This is my phone."
What kind of person was Bai Qinghao? Of course, he easily guessed the answer to this matter. "The phone is yours. You made a new phone card with Fang Xinxin's number and tried to trick her into sleeping with Bai Chenxi?"
"I, I… it's not like that…" Fang Manxue wanted to argue her way out of this.
However, she saw that Bai Qinghao's expression was dark to the point where it was nearly emitting smoke. She knew that she was done for.
She immediately turned and ran down the hallway, straight for the elevators. Out of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best.
But a bodyguard swiftly blocked her path. He held the collar of her clothes and lifted her up like a little chick. He then forcefully brought her back into the room.
"I've never wronged an innocent." Bai Qinghao's voice did not contain any warmth.
He tossed Bai Chenxi's phone onto the bed in disdain and brought out a white handkerchief to wipe his hands. "Several days ago, Fang Xinxin mentioned that her identity card went missing in the Fang home. Did you visit the mobile store to make a brand new phone card under her number? Do you need me to retrieve the surveillance camera records of that time? Or, did you employ someone to do this for you? Did you think that I wouldn't be able to force an admission?"
Fang Manxue was terrified that Bai Qinghao would check the surveillance records. She had indeed employed a girl to make a new phone card for Fang Xinxin to hand it over to her.
She did not expect Bai Qinghao to even consider this tiny detail.
With the way things had developed, there was no longer any possibility of arguing her way out of this.
She copied Bai Chenxi's method and knelt down on the floor. "CEO Bai, please forgive me. It was a moment of foolishness…"
Bai Chenxi thoroughly understood this matter. He glared at Fang Manxue and scolded her ferociously. "You cheap whore! You implicated me with your foolishness!"
He changed his attitude briskly and clasped his hands together to beg Bai Qinghao. "Cousin, you're insightful and attentive. You've also seen that I fell for Fang Manxue's scheme. I'm also a victim. There's absolutely nothing between Fang Xinxin and I. The person I slept with earlier was only a stranger."
