"Bai Xue, the current situation is very unfavorable to you!" Having both the motive to kill and the physical evidence against her, she could be convicted whether she pleaded guilty or not once the trial began.
In the end, Bai Xue still refused his help.
He felt helpless, so he could only instruct others to take care of Bai Xue. Of course, he did not give up on clearing her name. He called the police officer in charge of this case to get detailed information. After learning more, he felt even more troubled. The other party's tactics were so clever that they left no trace.
The evidence was constantly against Bai Xue. It was undeniable.
Nobody was happier about Bai Xue's arrest than Meng Shaomei. She thought this was heaven's justice. She would finally reign supreme over the Bai household.
"Shengqi, you must seize this opportunity and gain control of the company!" With Su Yan unconscious and Bai Xue in prison, when else should he seize power if not now?
"Of course!" Bai Shengqi too was itching to get started.
All he thought of was seizing power, entirely forgetting about his own daughter's predicament.
"Why was Bai Xue so foolish as to try and murder Su Yan?" After rejoicing in the happenings, Meng Shaomei felt something was not quite right. It wasn't Bai Xue's style. Besides, Bai Xue couldn't hide her intentions from her. She loved Su Yan so much. Why would she try to murder him?
"You're right. This really isn't something she would do." Bai Shengqi only realized something was off after her reminder.
Meng Shaomei cursed herself for her stupidity. He didn't care, so why did she bring it up? What if his conscience struck and he decided to help his daughter? That would be a loss!
"She must have been afraid after what Su Yan said and acted impulsively because she cares about the Bai Clan so much!"
"That makes sense." Bai Shengqi found her words sensible and did not ponder further.
"You should call a shareholders' meeting tomorrow. You're the second-largest shareholder. With Bai Xue in trouble, it's your right to take her place!"
"Right."
Bai Xue was being held in Jin City South Prison, awaiting her trial on Wednesday.
"How is the company doing right now?"
"It's a mess." Xu Qiming heaved a sigh. He was being overwhelmed by calls from the shareholders.
"My father will probably call a shareholders' meeting tomorrow and take my place." Bai Xue understood very well how Meng Shaomei and Bai Shengqi would react after her predicament.
"What should I do?" When Bai Xue was around, he was only second to her. Everybody listened to him. But with Bai Xue gone, he would become a mere assistant. Would the board of directors even listen to him? Besides, Bai Shengqi was his boss.
"There's nothing you need to do." The company cannot run without a leader for a day. She felt relatively assured leaving it in her father's hands during her absence.
"But what if..." What could they do if the company changed hands by the time she got out?
"My father and Meng Shaomei don't have the ability." Bai Xue wasn't belittling them. She just knew their capabilities all too well.
"The situation is very unfavorable to you right now, CEO Bai. Do you have a solution?" Xu Qiming asked worriedly.
"Not at the moment." Bai Xue hadn't identified where things went wrong yet.
"But your trial is scheduled for Wednesday!" Xu Qiming was anxious for her.
"It's okay. Even if they convict me, I can still appeal." Besides, it wouldn't be that easy to convict her!
The Bai Xue that Xu Qiming was seeing now was hard to connect with the Bai Xue of the past. She used to be proud and domineering, easily provoked, and would often be reckless when agitated. However, the Bai Xue of now remained calm even in such a situation, almost as if she were a monk in meditation.
"How is Su Yan doing?"
