CHAPTER 807
Bai Qing Mei's mother could barely believe what her eyes had seen and instantly called for her bodyguard who rushed into the room immediately after hearing her screams.
He took one look at the bloody mess on his Bai Qing Mei's bed and froze like a statue. His expression changed slowly as he realized that something terrible must have happened. He glanced back at Bai Qing Mei who stood trembling beside him.
"What happened? Who did this?" The bodyguard asked, his gaze darting about.
"That's what I would like to find out," Bai Qing Mei's mother voiced. "Make sure you get everything straightened out. No one torments my daughter and go scot free. It is time to make a scapegoat of one of them."
"As you wish madam."

After finalizing their plans, Li Xiu and her mother hastily made a phone call to Bai Qing Mei. Unfortunately, the timing couldn't have been worse, as Bai Qing Mei had no desire to answer the call.
"Qing Mei, aren't you going to pick that up?" her mother inquired, observing her daughter closely to gauge her reaction.
Bai Qing Mei clutched the duvet that covered her lower body and vigorously shook her head, trying desperately to hold back her tears.
She knew exactly what the call was about and had a strong feeling about who had tried to harm her. At the moment, she preferred not to cause any trouble.
"Fine. Just silence your phone then. You need to rest. Or should I answer the call for you?"
As her mother reached for the phone, Bai Qing Mei acted swiftly and held it close to her chest.
"No. Actually, I think I will answer the call after all," she replied in a squeaky voice.
She didn't want anyone else to know the extent of her injuries, or worse, someone might exploit her vulnerability.
Understandingly, her mother nodded and turned towards the door, where two men were waiting. They respectfully bowed upon seeing their mistress emerge, followed by her daughter.
Stopping at the doorway, her mother turned back to look at Bai Qing Mei and smiled.
"I will never let anything happen to you. Trust me."
Bai Qing Mei nodded in response. After all, her mother was Mrs. Bai and the only daughter of the Chairman of the Zhang Enterprise. Ruthlessness ran in their blood.
"My first move will be made now."
Bai Qing Mei nodded again. As soon as the door to the guest room closed, she quickly turned on her phone and dialed Li Xiu's number.
"Hello."
Liu Xiu's voice immediately came through the line, loud and clear. "I never expected you to answer the call."
"You're right. I got caught up with something. So, what's going on?"
"Well, my mother and I have devised a plan that can finally take down Li Jing and give me the opportunity I need to get Ye Cheng."
Bai Qing Mei rolled her eyes at the mention of Ye Cheng. Even though she was with Hao Huizhong, a part of her still held onto hope for Ye Cheng.
"Okay."
"Just okay?" Liu Xiu asked, sounding slightly disappointed.
"Yes, what else did you expect me to say?"
"I don't know. You just sound off."
Bai Qing Mei sighed, feeling too tired to argue. "It's nothing much. By the way, since you're here, I can take this chance to tell you something important."
Immediately, Li Xiu became attentive. "What is it?"
"I know who has been trying to frighten me."
"Who?"
"It doesn't matter anymore because he won't dare try again."
Confused, Li Xiu furrowed her brows and asked, "Why? What happened?"
"I was with my mom when we received a report. Sooner or later, he'll realize not to mess with the Bai and Zhang family."
"Tell me!" Li Xiu exclaimed, face-palming herself. "What's been happening? Someone has been trying to scare you?"
At that moment, Bai Qing Mei realized she had revealed more than necessary and shook her head.
"It's nothing major. I was greeted with a dead body in my bed this morning."
"What!"
"Hey, keep it down. Anyway, putting that aside, what are your plans for Li Jing?"
"I'm going to infiltrate her house today, and I can..."
"No, you can't," Bai Qing Mei interjected, adjusting the position of the phone on her ear as she sat up straight on her bed.
"My mother conducted an investigation, and the report shows that Ye Cheng and Li Jing are returning home from their vacation today. They might already be on their way. I'm guessing your plan involves them not being at home, right?"
Li Xiu fell silent for a moment before answering, "Yeah. Damn it."
"Relax. I think I may have a better idea."
"You do?"
"Yes."
"And what might that be?"
"I'll let you know after I do some research first."
"Okay."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Bai Qing Mei turned toward the door of her room and found her mother standing there, patiently waiting for her to finish talking to Li Xiu.
"Huh, Mom! How long have you been there?" Bai Qing Mei asked, her eyes widening with shock.
Her mother walked in with a sweet smile, accompanied by a maid carrying a tray.
"I just came in. Mrs. Peng prepared our family's secret porridge recipe for you, along with a warm glass of milk to help you relax," she said.
The maid placed the dishes on the bed in front of Bai Qing Mei and left the room.
Meanwhile, her mother moved closer to the dressing table, examining her own reflection in the mirror.
Her eyes swept over her hair, neatly tied in a bun atop her head, while the rest of her long black tresses flowed gracefully down her shoulders like silk threads.
"You'll be fine, honey. Eat up and get some rest."
A smile played on her lips as she admired her own beauty. After one final glance at herself, she left the room.
Watching her mother's departure, Bai Qing Mei narrowed her eyes at the closed door and swallowed hard.
"I hope she didn't overhear that. I don't want her to interfere with my plans," she silently commented to herself.
