CHAPTER 122
This was the cold friend they knew. This was his partial angry state and one, not everybody wanted to witness.
"You are stalking me?" It was Hao Huizhong who spoke up next.
He looked like someone who was about to explode with anger but then again, what if Ye Cheng did?
"That was not the question I asked, Huizhong."
"How can you be monit…"
Before he had the chance to finish his words, Ye Cheng snapped, yelling at him. "Answer the damn question, both of you!" Ye Cheng slammed his hand down against the desk as he spoke.
He hated lies and liars. He hated to be made a fool off and they were doing just that. What did they take him for? A child?
Bai Qing Mei was shocked at his anger and tried to calm down. She did not want to show him any fear so that he would not suspect anything.
She knew Ye Cheng he was thorough and she felt that was it. Left to her, these were just pictures and they proved nothing.
���You acted like you have not met before she came to the office but look at the dates on the pictures, you two have been seeing each other long before then. No wonder your reaction when I told you she was here seemed off."
"So, what if I lied? I reached out to her after the accident and she picked." Hao Huizhong lied.
Noticing that Hao Huizhong was having similar thoughts with her, Bai Qing Mei stood up on her feet to defend him.
"Ye Cheng don't be mad that we lied. Truthfully, Huizhong tried my contact and it went through, that was when he found out I was alive and okay but we could not get through to you so we planned that I would stay hidden for now, just to be safe."
"Yes, and I didn't tell you when you returned because you brushed me off like our past friendship never mattered. I did not know whether you were changed or you were an imposter. That was why I did not want to reveal her whereabouts."
'What a splendid set of liars. They still deny it. Okay, I would see if she can deny it after this.'
"Is that so? Then why lie about it?"
"Yes. We did not want you to think anything wrong about it. That was why we decided to pretend as though we had not seen since," Bai Qing Mei, the lying Queen quickly chipped in another lie.
"Okay. Fine then, if you say so."
"It doesn't change the fact that you had me followed, Ye Cheng. What was the meaning of that?" Hao Huizhong was trying his best to play the victim and turn Ye Cheng's focus from other things.
Little did he know, there was more to come.
Rather than exchanging words with him, Ye Cheng only shot him a cold glare and he immediately shut his mouth and did not say anything further.
Ye Cheng pulled his phone out of his pocket and operated it for a while before dropping it back on his desk and looked over at Qing Mei.
"Qing Mei, do you love me?"
His next question had shocked them again. They did not know what angle he was coming from and did not know how they were going to tackle it.
Bai Qing Mei pretended to have been offended that he would even ask that but his next question again made her own words hang in her throat.
"At the harbour, your skin at your neck was cut with a knife, why am I not seeing any mark or blemish?"
"Oh, that! I did surgery to cover it up. I did not want people asking me about it, so mother thought it best to quickly cover it up."
"Okay. That is good then."
"Ye Cheng, what is it? Is anything the matter? Why do you seem off? We are your friends, we would never do anything to hurt you."
"I know, then what is this?"
Both Hao Hizhing and Bai Qing Mei turned their head to the side to look at each other before returning their gazes to him.
"What is what?"
He leaned forward a bit and touched his phone screen, then relaxed back. His expression was just still calm with blazing cold eyes that looked like they could freeze an ocean with just one look.
He brought both hands in front of his face in an arc form as he listened to the audio that began playing.
In no time, Bai Qing Mei and Hao Huizhong heard their voices and both had a look of pure dread at what they heard.
Bai Qing Mei's jaw drop as her mouth fell open. It was the part when they started talking about him and the accident.
She could not believe what her ears were hearing now. How was it possible that Ye Cheng had come to her house and recorded their conversation without anyone spotting him?
This was it! They were finished. There was no talking their way out of this one.
Ye Cheng watched silently as everyone listened to their conversation. By the time it ended, he left out a soft sigh, then stopped the audio and averted his gaze to them.
"I can…"
"Explain what!" Ye Cheng hollered at her. "What more lies do you want to tell me, Bai Qing Mei, huh?"
"Ye Cheng." Hao Huizhong's hoarse voice broke out in a gentle calm.
"And you, shut up. Wait for your own turn." Ye Cheng's eye blazed with pure hatred as she shot a deathly glare at Hao Huizhong.
"The thing is that I do not know why, why would you do such a thing to me? I cared for you two as my own and you had the guts to stab me in the back."
By now Hao Huizhong looked like a wet rat who was sulking in a corner due to cold.
"And YOU!" he pointed to Bai Qing Mei. "What is your relationship with Chairman Zhang? You both went to conspire with my sworn enemy. The very same man that has been trying to bring my company down in any way possible. What did he pay you. Was it because of money?"
"It was not because of money." Bai Qing Mei stood up on her feet. "What would you know about both of us anyway?"
"That you are betrayals I once called friend."
"Say whatever you want, Ye Cheng."
"Can't I? You think you both still have the right to speak in front of me?"
"Yes! Chairman Zhang is my grandfather!"
