Chapter 433: 431

What a mess!

Lu Tianxing felt an urge to cry. Zhang Wuji’s mother was right, the prettier the woman, the more dangerous she is, and the better she is at deceiving people!

"Assistant Lu, heh heh, I forgot to tell you, Mr. Bai recently upgraded the hallway cameras to hidden pinhole cameras for the company’s security. Unfortunately, they captured us in action. And my expression just now was spot-on, like an oppressed delicate woman with no choice but to compromise. I’d give my performance 99 points, reserving one point for your cooperation."

Lan Xin said in a voice audible only to the two of them, her face graced with a schadenfreude smile. Although she was unclear about the exact relationship between Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, she was certain that if Bai Zhiqing saw what had just transpired, Lu Tianxing was in for some bad luck.

Damn it!

Lu Tianxing’s expression darkened. No wonder he hadn’t noticed the camera earlier. This was too devious; how could anyone expect pinhole cameras hidden around them?

"Heh heh, Assistant Lu, you better watch out! That’s for taking advantage of me. Now you’re definitely done for, hahaha."

Lan Xin, watching Lu Tianxing’s as-if-seeing-a-ghost expression, suddenly felt very relieved inside. This dead pervert dared to take liberties with her, and now he finally got what he deserved.

With Bai Zhiqing’s methods, Lan Xin believed, Lu Tianxing was in big trouble, really big trouble.

As she spoke, Lan Xin turned around, and the moment she did so, all expression vanished from her face, replaced by a look of sadness.

"Mr. Bai, there was nothing much happening just now. Assistant Lu was only joking with me."

Lan Xin softly called out to Bai Zhiqing, then cautiously glanced back at Lu Tianxing, fear appearing in her eyes, looking utterly pitiful as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Fuck!"

Seeing Lan Xin’s expression, Lu Tianxing cursed inwardly. Lan Xin was definitely trying to screw him over, feigning innocence and playing the victim. She had mastered this tactic.

Lu Tianxing felt incredibly miserable, to the extreme. He had taken no advantage but had somehow gotten himself into a mess. From Bai Zhiqing’s increasingly icy gaze, he could tell he was in for some bad luck.

Seeing Lan Xin’s helpless expression, Bai Zhiqing’s face grew colder, more convinced of her suspicions.

Although she hadn’t seen the whole incident, she had seen enough. When she turned on the surveillance feed, she saw Lu Tianxing waving his phone at Lan Xin with a sleazy smile on his face while Lan Xin looked anxious, angry yet helpless.

From this, it was clear that Lu Tianxing had something on Lan Xin, which he used to threaten her. Out of desperation, she chose to submit to Lu Tianxing and agreed to become his maid. The phone he was waving probably contained evidence of Lan Xin’s, perhaps some indecent photos or highly inappropriate covertly taken videos.

Perhaps Lu Tianxing was so tired this morning because he had sneaked out last night to take nude photos of Lan Xin. Given Lu Tianxing’s agility and his recent history of sneaking around, the more Bai Zhiqing thought about it, the more she believed it was possible.

Lan Xin’s behavior had demonstrated everything: pitiable and trying to absolve Lu Tianxing at every turn, even stealing glances at him, as if to indicate, "I did as you asked, please don’t leak my photos, I’m begging you."

One had to admit, at that moment, Bai Zhiqing’s imagination was running wild, painting Lu Tianxing as a heinous devil with lustful intentions, using his leverage to blackmail an innocent young beauty.

If at this moment Lu Tianxing knew what Bai Zhiqing was thinking, he would have to admire her power of association while feeling wronged. It was worthy of a chairman to have such fertile imagination, inferring hidden photos from mere changes in facial expression. The leap in logic was enormous, maybe even a bit too rich in creativity.

At this point, Lu Tianxing felt his misery had reached its peak. He hadn’t done anything wrong, and it was only because of a bet that he ended up being framed by Lan Xin. That would have been tolerable, but now it seemed as if he were the villain, the big bad guy.

"Mr. Bai, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work. Mr. Bai, please don’t be too hard on Assistant Lu. It’s got nothing to do with him; we were just joking around," said Lan Xin pitifully, her fingers tightly intertwined.

"Damn it, your grandpa, can you just stop talking?"

Lu Tianxing felt like crying. Although Lan Xin appeared to be pleading for him, in reality, she was kicking him deep into the Eighteenth Layer Hell. In Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, Lan Xin was a victim, and the more Lan Xin spoke on his behalf, the worse his situation got.

It only made it seem as if Lan Xin had something incriminating on him, forcing her to make excuses for him. The more Lan Xin said, the more grievous his sins appeared.

Hearing Lan Xin’s words, Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and glared fiercely at Lu Tianxing, gently patting Lan Xin’s shoulder with consolation, "Secretary Lan, don’t worry about it. Go back to your work. I’ll deal with Assistant Lu properly, and you go on with your work. The company will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Okay!"

Lan Xin nodded feebly, "Mr. Bai, please don’t be hard on Assistant Lu. It was my fault, not related to Assistant Lu at all."

As she spoke, Lan Xin twisted her head to throw a glance at Lu Tianxing, the corners of her mouth curling slightly upwards revealing a fox-like smile, but as she turned back around, she resumed her timid and delicate demeanor. She tiptoed to the desk, her head bowed, not daring to even breathe heavily.

Watching Lan Xin’s behavior, Bai Zhiqing sighed softly. How did such a lively and pretty girl become like this? All because of that bastard, Lu Tianxing.

The instigator was Lu Tianxing.

There was a flash of menacing light in Bai Zhiqing’s eyes as her gaze fixed on Lu Tianxing, her voice devoid of inflection, "Assistant Lu, why are you still standing there? Come to the office, I need to talk to you."

Even though Bai Zhiqing’s voice was as calm as when she normally issued orders in the company, Lu Tianxing felt as if it was the grim reaper’s death knell, and the office seemed like the chilling Ghost Gate. If he stepped in, he would never have the chance to come out again.

"Assistant Lu, hurry up, I’m very busy. Do you want the whole company’s operations to be hampered because of you?"

Bai Zhiqing swept a glance over Lu Tianxing and walked straight into the room.

"Fuck, am I, a grown man, really afraid of a bitch like her? Piss me off and I’ll just press you down in the office and execute you on the spot."

Clamping his jaw, Lu Tianxing strode towards the office with a defiant air. As he was about to enter, he twisted his head and glared fiercely at Lan Xin, thinking he should find an opportunity to bedevil that damn pretty girl for being so treacherous.

"Take care, Assistant Lu."

Feeling Lu Tianxing’s gaze, Lan Xin raised her head and gestured a ’take care’ sign, her beautiful eyes crinkling into crescents, her smile radiant, thinking that the pervert was finally getting his comeuppance.

How pitiable heaven is, after work she would definitely find a place to celebrate properly, finally getting her revenge.

Lu Tianxing walked cautiously into the office, tiptoeing towards his spot, not daring to breathe heavily.

"Assistant Lu, don’t you know to shut the door after coming in?"

Bai Zhiqing sat on the executive chair like a queen, exuding a cold and domineering presence.

Lu Tianxing hastily turned to close the door.

Just as he was turning around, he heard Bai Zhiqing’s voice again, "Lock it."

"Wife, there’s no need to lock the door, right? Besides, it’s broad daylight, and with us alone in a room, people might gossip. Wife, how about I step out first?"

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing with trepidation. The calmer Bai Zhiqing appeared, the more furious she must have been inside. Haven’t you seen how still the air is before a storm?

Provoking Bai Zhiqing now would surely lead to a dire fate; crushed to dust—he certainly couldn’t slap his own wife, could he?

Remembering Bai Zhiqing’s exceedingly vicious methods of punishment, Lu Tianxing immediately shuddered. He thought it best to steer clear for a while and, with that in mind, turned around to head outside.

"Stop right there, where do you think you’re going?"

Bai Zhiqing stood up abruptly, her arms crossed, scoffing coldly, "What’s wrong with being alone with a man and a woman? You’re my husband. Is it strange for a husband and wife to be in the same room? Get back here and behave, or you’ll bear the consequences."

"Click!"

Lu Tianxing quickly locked the door and darted to the sofa to sit down, adopting the perfect military posture, looking straight ahead like listening to a report.

"Lu Tianxing, good going, you’re really getting somewhere. Not only did you ’borrow’, you even learned to threaten others with their nudes, Lu Tianxing, you’re becoming more impressive by the minute. I think it’s a waste to have you as an assistant; you should be a paparazzo," Bai Zhiqing mocked as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

"Wife, what are you talking about? When did I take anyone’s nudes? Do I need to do that? You must have misunderstood something. Besides, what’s so great about those women’s bodies outside? Fake boobs made of silicone, faces that have gone under the knife, waists cinched and butts perked up through Photoshop. How do those compare to your natural figure, wife? If I were to ’borrow’, I’d ’borrow’ your nudes—why bother with others?"

Lu Tianxing was speechless, this was a total misunderstanding. When had he ever taken others’ nudes? It was fine just to look openly, he wasn’t Master Chen, who carried a camera around and liked to take photos everywhere.
