Lin Xi didn't expect the other party to say that.
"Aren't you the person Liu Xu cheated with?"
"Liu Xu and I are just pen pals. We met at an online book exchange meeting. She likes to read my novels. We often exchange letters and emails, but we have never met in person. How can there be any accusation of infidelity?"
Fang Qibai thought the other party was looking for trouble, so he quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"Our letters are all about sharing our readings or sharing unpleasant things in life."
"Because she was generous and organized a book fair for me, I comforted her."
"But a few months ago, she suddenly scolded me and blocked me. I still don't know who she is."
Lin Xi listened to Fang Qibai's narration thoughtfully. This was different from what she expected. They had never met before.
"Have you never expressed your love for each other?"
"Of course not. Maybe she has feelings for me, but the content of the letters she sends me is very restrained, without any ambiguous words."
Lin Xi didn't believe what Fang Qibai said and questioned.
"Impossible! Didn't you give her a novel called 'Becoming a Shadow to Love You'?"
Fang Qibai's eyes darkened. He didn't expect that this woman even knew about the book.
At that time, he wrote a corny confession on the last page of the book, intending to win Liu Xu's heart with it, but Liu Xu did not give him any response.
"I did send her this book, but she didn't respond to me, and we broke up soon after, so don't accuse me of having an affair with a married woman."
"Who are you? Why do you know so much?"
Fang Qibai once again questioned the woman on the other end of the phone, thinking that she must be no ordinary person, knowing exactly that he owed 10 million yuan and also knew which book he had given her.
"I told you you didn't need to know who I was."
"Whether you and Liu Xu have cheated on each other or not, if I say you have, then you have. I will provide you with evidence. All you have to do is claim that you and Liu Xu are lovers."
Fang Qibai's heart skipped a beat.
“Why are you doing this? What is Liu Xu’s true identity?”
Lin Xi felt that Fang Qibai was very noisy and annoying, but she couldn't hang up the phone, so she could only speak patiently.
"To be honest, Liu Xu is Lin Xuqiu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen Group in Kyoto."
Hearing this, Fang Qibai was stunned for a few seconds before reacting and couldn't help swallowing.
"You want me to slander the eldest young lady of the Wen Group for having an affair with me?"
"Are you dissatisfied that I'm not dying fast enough? The Wen Group is very wealthy. If I offend them, how can I survive?"
"Besides, this is slander. If it gets discovered, I'll be sent to jail and my life will be ruined."
Lin Xi sneered.
"Isn't your life pretty much ruined now?"
"Don't forget, if you can't pay back the money, those loan sharks won't let you go, and then you'll be living a life worse than death."
After finishing the threatening words, Lin Xi began to give reassurances.
"You don't have to worry too much about the Wen family's retaliation. The Wen family doesn't like Lin Xuqiu as their daughter-in-law. If she gets involved in a scandal, the Wen family will definitely not hold you responsible, and they will even pay you to keep your mouth shut."
"You can then get the 10 million I give you to pay off your debts, and you can also get hush money from the Wen family, killing two birds with one stone."
Fang Qibai was in a dilemma. He knew he had no choice. If he couldn't pay the money back in a week, Brother Leopard would definitely chop off his fingers.
If he offended the Wen family, the worst case scenario would be going to jail, but a wealthy family like the Wen family would definitely care about their reputation, and they might actually use money to shut him up.
So Fang Qibai made the final decision.
"Okay, I agree to trade with you, but you need to pay me half of the deposit first. In exchange, I will give you all the chat records between me and Liu Xu."
"No problem, I'll have someone transfer the deposit to your account. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
