"What if I don't agree?" Bai Qingyi's husband laughed in self-ridicule.
"If you don't agree? You may have to stay in this hospital for the rest of your life..." Bai Qingyi threatened with a smirk. "I'm not going to force you. The choice is yours."
The man fell silent, no longer saying a word. After all, he had already gotten used to this.
Bai Qingyi never treated the people around her like they were human. She treated them whatever way she wanted.
"I was blind to have married you. Bai Qingyi, go to hell."
Bai Qingyi laughed and did not reply; she knew he had already given in.
"The reporters will come in to interview you in a minute. Remember what I told you..."
At that moment, even though he didn't want to, the man could not defy Bai Qingyi's orders. After all, he couldn't even protect himself, how was he supposed to speak up for Song Linlin? So, when he was faced with the cameras, he said stiffly, "I can't comment on other things since I indeed cheated. But, I want to say that I didn't lie to Song Linlin. If you don't believe me, you can investigate her chat records - she made them up."
"She actually knew that I was still married from the start!"
"A little bit of research and she would have known the truth. How could she possibly think that I was divorced?"
During the entire time that the man responded to the media, Bai Qingyi sat by his bedside with a smirk. Because, after this, she would officially be known as the victim. At least, in everyone's eyes, this was the case.
It didn't take long before the man's response became a hot topic.
But, it also made the entire situation oddly interesting. Song Linlin claimed that she didn't know anything and had been deceived, yet, according to Bai Qingyi's husband, she knew everything and was putting on an act. The two attacked each other, turning the scandal into a mystery full of speculation.
Trouble began brewing again for Song Linlin because, whether she knew or not, Bai Qingyi had already been hurt too badly.
Now that her words clashed with the jerk, it seemed like they were both trying to avoid taking responsibilty.
"Let's see how Hai Rui clears her name this time!" Bai Qingyi humphed. "She's just a mere artist. Everything would have been over if they just handed her over to me. Yet, Hai Rui didn't know what was good for them! Why try to act nice? Tangning, I know how ruthless you are. I learned from you..."
"Since they chose this path, they should sit back and accept the negative consequences!"
...
Inside Mo Ting's office, Tangning had already seen the jerk's interview. As she put away her phone, she turned to her husband, "Ting..."
"This is a voice recording that Lu Che got from the hospital," Mo Ting place a voice recording pen on the table. "It's exactly what Lu Che concluded from his previous investigation: this man has been living under Bai Qingyi's shadow for many years. He actually considered calling the police after he was beat up this time."
"According to this recording, if we can guarantee the man's safety, I'm sure he would be more than happy to free himself from her control."
"Have you already made arrangements?"
"I already prepared everything yesterday." From the moment they set out their PR plan for Song Linlin, Mo Ting had already sent Lu Che to follow up on Bai Qingyi and her husband.
In the end, the person arranged by Lu Che to spy on the couple, waited at the hospital for a long time before he finally retrieved a useful recording.
