Chapter 201 Bathroom Ambush! A Disregard for Martial Morality

Gu Yifan turned on the gas stove, boiled water, and deliberately turned the flame down to a low simmer.

This way the pot won't boil too vigorously.

He'll take a shower soon, and then we can make the hot and sour hangover soup.

Gu Yifan walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and felt that something was not quite right.
Looking at the tightly drawn bathroom curtain, Gu Yifan frowned and tentatively reached out his hand towards it.

The next second, a shadow swept in accompanied by a fragrant breeze!

"Who?"

A bright red face, exuding both domineering and alluring charm, came into view.

"Sister Yifei?" Gu Yifan was taken aback.

Taking advantage of the moment, Hu Yifei, who was proficient in judo, rushed out, locked Gu Yifan's joints, pushed him against the wall, and covered his mouth.

As you can see, Ms. Hu is only wearing a thin bath towel.

Yukiko, wrapped tightly in a bath towel, looked as if she might break free from it at any moment due to any sudden movement.
Show Gu Yifan how good his flexibility is.

"Sister Yifei, where did you come from?"

Gu Yifan was taken aback. He was so close to Hu Yifei that he could see the resentment flashing in her phoenix eyes.

Ms. Hu's hair was wet and loose, her jet-black hair clinging to her domineering yet charming face, her delicate nose raised in dissatisfaction.

Gu Yifan noticed out of the corner of his eye that the bathtub curtain had been closed. Could it be that Hu Yifei had been hiding in the bathtub all along?

She fell asleep in the bathtub? But that doesn't make sense either; how could she be wearing a towel while asleep?
"Shut up!"

Seemingly noticing Gu Yifan's wild thoughts, Hu Yifei blushed even more, her heart pounding with embarrassment.

However, he showed no intention of letting go.

He pressed his entire weight down on Gu Yifan's body to prevent him from escaping.

She wants to prove something!

"what?"

Faced with Gu Yifan's wary and puzzled gaze, Hu Yifei took a deep breath and unexpectedly...
The soft white bath towel slipped down and landed beside Ms. Hu's shapely, fair ankles.

Hu Yifei bit her lip, grabbed Gu Yifan's wrist, and pressed it upwards.

Gu Yifan stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Ms. Hu's flushed face.

Hu Yifei's stubborn voice entered my ears.

"I'll give you one more chance. Take another look! Between me and Wanyu, whose figure is better!"

Half a minute later.

"You absolutely mustn't tell Wanyu about this! I... I was just trying to win! Do you hear me!"

"Um"

Watching Hu Yifei's figure, still muttering "I didn't lose! I didn't lose!", squatting down to pick up a bath towel to wrap around herself, then turning around and stumbling hurriedly running out.

Hmm, the towel on her back wasn't draped properly.
Still standing there, Gu Yifan, who hadn't reacted yet, was full of question marks, and a thought popped into his head.

Is she sick?

This is absolutely outrageous! Hu Yifei waited here specifically to see if Gu Yifan would be excited about her figure!

She won.
Hu Yifei was too strong-willed throughout her life.

Gu Yifan doesn't know whether he's at a disadvantage or has gained something.

I stood there for a while.

In the silence, Gu Yifan shook his head, trying to shake off the image in his mind, and muttered sullenly, "You're sick!"

He then locked the bathroom door and stepped into the bathtub.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wednesday.

Shanghai Hongqiao Airport
Gu Yifan came to see Lin Wanyu off. Standing at the floor-to-ceiling window, he watched the Boeing plane with the Lin's Bank logo roar across the runway and soar into the sky.

I felt a little reluctant to part with it.

Lin Wanyu was the same; she cried her eyes out at the airport, clinging to Gu Yifan and refusing to let go.

Mr. Lin softened and sighed, telling his daughter to stay, saying he would bring her mother to visit her next time. However, Wanyu thought about it and decided to go back.

Since completing her transformation from a girl to a woman, Lin Wanyu's thinking seems to have quietly changed as well.

She knew that Gu Yifan was working hard for their future, and she didn't want to stand still and wait.

Lin Wanyu plans to whisper in her mother's ear during her trip back home, hoping to win over Gu Yifan in advance and gain some favor with her future mother-in-law.

In addition, she also resigned from her job as a telephone editor for Teacher Zeng's program.

When he returns, he will probably take over the Lin Group's company at Dongda University.

"Gu Yifan~ Wait for me to come back!"

on the plane.

The luxurious private jet is lavishly decorated and even has private rooms with a huge bed that can be flipped over.

Window seat.

Lin Wanyu sat alone, still clutching the heart-shaped diamond ring that Gu Yifan had hastily given her, staring blankly out the window.

Her beautiful eyes, red and swollen from crying several times, reflected the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, as well as the endless bustling city.

Lin's father, who was working nearby, looked at his daughter's slender figure, sighed inwardly, frowned, and paused the remote meeting.

He got up and went to his daughter's side, placing his hand on Lin Wanyu's shoulder.

"Silly girl, I'll be back soon. Look how reluctant you are to leave."

"Dad," Lin Wanyu's nose tingled again.

These past two days, she and Gu Yifan have been almost constantly intimate, trying to make up for the longing they felt during the time they haven't seen each other.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, as if her body was there but her soul had already followed that boy, Lin's father felt sorry for her and cursed Gu Yifan in his heart.

I wonder what kind of bewitching potion this kid gave Wanyu!
"Dad, I'm going back home. Can you teach me how to manage the company?"

Lin Wanyu suddenly blurted out a sentence.

Mr. Lin was taken aback. "Didn't you dislike managing the company?"

"Is it because of your boyfriend, that Gu Yifan again?" Lin's father said with a hint of jealousy.

Lin Wanyu nodded, then said shyly, "Mmm."

“That means you’ll have to stay in New York for a while longer. How can you not miss him?” Lin’s father said helplessly.

Yesterday, Gu Yifan promised to keep his daughter smiling, but now she's crying like this.

"I want to leave, but it's for a better reunion," Lin Wanyu said shyly.

Lin's father: "."

That's it, my daughter is completely smitten with that guy.

Without lingering, Gu Yifan drove back to his apartment from the airport.

Without the clear, melodious laughter of a young girl, I felt a little empty inside.

Suite 3601, Yifei went to school.

I didn't call him Gu Yifan.

Since the bathroom attack two days ago, Ms. Hu has been acting strangely and has started avoiding Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan didn't care if she was just drunk and acting crazy; he just assumed she was shy.

Since he didn't need to go to school, Gu Yifan planned to continue organizing the outline and detailed outline for one person.

In two days, he had almost finished the initial arrangements. Guan Gu told him that there would be a Shanghai cartoonist forum meet-and-greet in September.

At that time, all the top cartoonists in Shanghai will be going.

Gu Yifan planned to seize this opportunity and go with Guan Gu to find a cartoonist to collaborate with.

To be honest, once Gu Yifan actually picked up a pen to write, he found that expressing what was in his heart in words was not easy at all.

Just as Gu Yifan was sitting at the restaurant table, typing away on his laptop.

The door to suite 3601 was pushed open, and Lü Ziqiao strolled in. His eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yifan, and he came closer.

"Hey Lao Gu, why are you all alone? Did Wan Yu leave?"

"Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?"

Gu Yifan glanced at Lu Ziqiao, too lazy to pay him any attention, and continued creating.

Lu Ziqiao shrugged, stepped forward, put his arm around Lu Ziqiao's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Still working on your novel?"

"This isn't a novel; it's a textual retelling of a comic book storyline," Gu Yifan explained, adding that it differs from a novel and is more like a storyboard.

Lu Ziqiao had a headache listening to this and interrupted Gu Yifan.

"Old Gu, you need to balance work and rest. There's no time to wallow in grief over Wanyu's passing! Get in the car!"

"Speak like a human being!"

Lu Ziqiao smiled and said, "Guan Gu and I are planning to go to my newly signed agency. Are you interested in coming along?"

"Not interested," Gu Yifan said instinctively, then froze, "Wait, a talent agency? What the heck?"

Lu Ziqiao then proudly announced that on the very day he was avoiding Lisa, he had unexpectedly encountered a manager—Sister Shan.

Upon seeing him, the other person was immediately awestruck, saying it was a real shame that someone with such a face wasn't in the film and television industry.

"With this attitude of experiencing different professions and enjoying different lives, I resolutely devoted myself to the film and television industry, contributing to the further development of the country's film industry."

"Enough!" Gu Yifan couldn't stand Lu Ziqiao's long-winded self-praise any longer.

"Just tell me the result."

Lu Ziqiao smiled mysteriously, "The person standing in front of you is now the artist Lu Xiaobu! A rising star about to enter the entertainment industry!"

Gu Yifan rolled his eyes. He wasn't even a rising star yet, and his solo concert, which he had been preparing for for ten years, had turned out to be a complete waste.

"I have absolutely no interest in whether your future lies on stage or in a bar restroom. Now, Mr. Lü, please don't disturb my train of thought!" But Lü Ziqiao simply grabbed Gu Yifan's computer and ran away.

Shout as you run!

"Come on, buddy, you can't dwell on the pain of Wanyu's departure. Writing alone isn't enough; you need to go out and find some inspiration."

Gu Yifan's forehead veins throbbed, and finally he smiled and raised his finger.

"Lu Ziqiao!"

"Labor and management!! Shu Road Mountain!!!"

Suite 3602.

Surrounded by a bunch of mischievous friends, I can't even concentrate on my creative work.

Although Gu Yifan explained to Guan Gu and Meijia that Wanyu was just going back to see her mother and would be back soon.

However, it seems that Lu Ziqiao's version of "a rich girl and a poor boy meet and their love is fleeting" is more popular.

This shows that rumors mislead the public; people only want to see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.

Beside the sofa.

Guan Gu sat down next to Gu Yifan and comforted him, "It's okay, Yifan. I believe in you. You'll definitely meet Wanyu again in the future. There's an old saying at Dongda University: 'It's fate. It's fate.'"

"A chance encounter brings us together from a thousand miles away?" Gu Yifan silently prompted.

"That's right!" Guan Gu smiled happily. "I believe Wan Yu will definitely come back. Cheer up, Gu Jun! Let's go out for a walk together!"

Gu Yifan sighed and moved Guan Gu's hand away.

"I told you, Wanyu is only going home for a while. Forget it, Guangu, why are you messing around with Ziqiao?"

When Gu Yifan saw that Guan Gu was also advising him to go out for a walk, he knew that Zi Qiao must have promised Guan Gu something.

When Guan Gu's little scheme was exposed, he said shyly, "Zi Qiao said that if I could get you involved, he would help me contact his agent, and my comic might be adapted into an anime or even a movie!"

"Please, Mr. Gu!"

Guan Gu stood up and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan turned his head with a forced smile and roared, "Lu Ziqiao! Get out here and die!"

Lu Ziqiao quietly peeked out of his room, forced to bite the bullet and come out.

At the same time, he looked at Guan Gu with a resentful expression.

"Hey buddy, what happened to keeping it a secret?"

"I'm sorry, Ziqiao."

Gu Yifan remained expressionless, pointed to the sofa in front of him, and said, "Tell me, what are you up to?"

"How could that be?" Lu Ziqiao stubbornly insisted. "I really care about you. I'm worried that Wanyu's departure will make you depressed."

Seeing Gu Yifan's deadpan expression, Lü Ziqiao couldn't continue his fabrication and awkwardly added in a low voice.

"Mainly because my agent, Sister Shan, heard I have a handsome friend and asked me to invite you to come along."

Lu Ziqiao glanced around furtively and muttered something under his breath.

"Okay, here's what happened. I accidentally let it slip that there's a super handsome guy next to me who's even more handsome than Takeshi Kaneshiro."

"Sister Shan told me I have to bring Yifan with me, otherwise my acting career, which was just taking off, will crash. Don't blame me, bro."

"Oh?"

Gu Yifan's guess was confirmed, and he was both angry and amused. "Lu Ziqiao, you betrayed your brother with your looks?"

"No, no, no, we're just chatting. Don't worry, I already told Sister Shan that you have a girlfriend!" Lu Ziqiao quickly swore.

Seeing that Gu Yifan remained unmoved, Lü Ziqiao pleaded desperately.

"Good brother, I've helped you so many times, you have to help me this time too. I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a bunch of beautiful girls waiting for me to make something of myself."

"Why don't you just hang yourself from a tree in the southeast? That way you'll be able to live a second life and rise above others much faster." Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

"Besides, I've asked you to do things twice, and both times you succeeded."

Lu Ziqiao fell silent, still clinging to Gu Yifan's leg, wailing, "Godfather, please, Godfather!"

Gu Yifan originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, since Hongtongtong Performing Arts Company would eventually be wiped out anyway.

And let Ziqiao learn a lesson along the way.

However, considering that Guan Gu is innocent, and also because if Guan Gu has a sty, we won't be able to take him to the comic artist forum.

Gu Yifan decided to give Ziqiao a heads-up.

"Ziqiao, I advise you to stop dreaming about becoming a star. You're not a professionally trained star, you're not handsome, your singing is mediocre, and you have no acting skills. Why would anyone want to sign you?"

"I!"

Lu Ziqiao found himself seemingly unable to refute.

"What if, by some chance, someone sees that I'm a gem? I'll shine eventually," Lu Ziqiao still held onto that hope.

Gu Yifan shook his head. "There are very few people in this world who can discover jade carving. Unless you shine first, they won't flock to you. Old Lü, you've been in the world for so many years, don't you understand this simple principle?"

Lu Ziqiao was speechless, seemingly still clinging to a sliver of hope.

Gu Yifan didn't waste any words.

I opened my laptop and did a quick search for keywords: talent scout, talent agency, scam.

Soon, all sorts of accusations from victims began to emerge.

"Look for yourself."

Gu Yifan handed the laptop to Lü Ziqiao.

Ziqiao took it with some skepticism, and Guangu also stepped forward to take a look.

"Invited by a talent scout to become a model, then subjected to unspoken rules? And blackmailed because a video of her was secretly filmed."

"Help! I didn't pay attention when signing the contract, and there's an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract. My agent isn't giving me any work, and I can't survive. I want to terminate the contract, but now the company is demanding compensation. What should I do?"

"And this one too, the fee for filming a foot massage parlor advertisement was taken all by the agency under the pretext of deducting operating expenses. And she even got athlete's foot?!"

Guan Gu immediately turned to look at Zi Qiao, his eyes darting around.

"Ziqiao, did you go to film a foot massage parlor commercial yesterday?"

Lu Ziqiao's smile vanished. He said blankly, "Sister Shan did seem to mention something about commission or something."

"I was so engrossed in the joy of filming the commercial that I didn't pay attention to what I was hearing!"

"No way, Sister Shan wouldn't do that, right?" Lu Ziqiao gritted his teeth, but after seeing so many cases, he felt a little guilty.

He remembered the thick stack of contracts he had signed, thicker than a dictionary!
I wanted to look closely, but Sister Shan urged me on, so I reluctantly signed my name.

If it's really like what Baidu says, then his life is ruined.

Gu Yifan shook his head and then found Tianya Forum, "What's your agent's name?"

"Lightning Gorge".

Gu Yifan typed on the keyboard, and soon, several posts accusing the agent, Shandianxia, ​​were dug up.

Many of the victims, like Lü Ziqiao, signed contracts without fully understanding what was going on, only to find out later that they had been scammed.

Some people even got caught in the Lightning Gorge and ended up with itchy skin, and were diagnosed with a bacterial infection at the hospital.

Gu Yifan quietly watched Lu Ziqiao's expression change from green to purple, and finally to deathly pale.

"How was it? Was it similar to your experience?"

Lu Ziqiao fell silent.

After a while.
"Godfather, save me!"

Gu Yifan smiled slightly, and seeing Lu Ziqiao's lips trembling, he deliberately asked.

"Didn't you say that you might be the lucky one? Maybe this Lightning Gorge and your manager, Sister Flash, aren't the same person?"

"impossible."

Although Lu Ziqiao was momentarily intimidated by Lightning Gorge, he had been a seasoned figure in the martial world for many years.

With so many cases before him, many of which are similar to his own experiences, if he still can't figure them out, then he's lived in vain.

Seeing Gu Yifan's expression of wanting to stay out of it and watch the show, Lu Ziqiao blushed.

"Brother Gu, although I, Lü Xiaobu, possess unparalleled courage, I have never encountered a strategist of such great talent as you, sir. If you do not despise me, I am willing to become your godfather! I only ask for your assistance."

Gu Yifan couldn't stand this guy's constant nonsense, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright."

"What should I do now? Request to terminate the contract? Should I find a lawyer?" Lu Ziqiao asked anxiously.

"Did you notice that although these people were all deceived by Lightning Gorge, there is still one difference?" Gu Yifan said calmly.

"What's the difference?" Guan Gu asked curiously.

“The brokerage firms they were scammed by were all different.”

Gu Yifan didn't keep him in suspense and pointed it out to Lü Ziqiao.

"It does seem so! Hongyanyan Performing Arts Company, Hongfangfang Performing Arts Company, Hongzhanzhan Performing Arts Company!" Lu Ziqiao noticed the key point and read it aloud.
"But what's the point?"

Gu Yifan: "."

"Ziqiao, have you wasted the last few years of your life? Can't you even see this?"

"This shows that these are all shell companies, and they may not even have business licenses, so the contracts they sign are mostly not legally binding."

Lu Ziqiao suddenly realized, "You mean, my contract is actually invalid?"

Gu Yifan nodded, "Moreover, most of these scams are illegal."

Lu Ziqiao's eyes gradually turned dangerous; he had already made up his mind and was gritting his teeth.

"Fine, you dare to lie to me, Lü Ziqiao! I'll make you pay!"

"Guan Gu, let's go!"

"Ah? I'm going too?"
