Deep Fog Kiss

At nine o'clock in the evening, the stars were hidden in the inky sky, heavy and somber.

In the director's office at Shile Media, Luo Hui, with a handprint on his face, was reviewing a lawyer's letter prepared by the legal department.

"Is losing money enough?!"

Enraged, he told the legal department, "Get me a PR team, contact media outlets, and spread the word about Jiang Li's despicable behavior. I want to ruin her reputation in the industry and make it impossible for her to continue working here!"

His eyes were filled with malice. He was a well-known director, and to be slapped twice by a screenwriter, who was also a woman, was a great humiliation.

He couldn't swallow this insult.

"Isn't she arrogant? I'll make her taste the bitterness of cyberbullying, and she'll crawl on her knees begging me for mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the head of the legal department immediately prepared to take action.

Just then, the phone on the table rang. He glanced at it and his expression immediately changed drastically. He answered it with an awkward laugh.

"Hello, hello, I'm Luo Hui from Shile Media."

"Really? Mr. Gu invited me?" Luo Hui was overjoyed. "Now? That's wonderful! I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, the man who had been furious moments before was now excited. He patted the head of the legal department on the shoulder and said, "Put everything else aside for now and prepare a cooperation agreement with Tianze Capital. We need it now!"

Ten minutes later, Luo Hui left Shile Media with the contract and headed to Lingge Club.

......

The top floor of the Lingge Club is luxuriously and exquisitely decorated.

Unlike the romantic atmosphere of the lower-level private rooms, the top-floor private rooms were clean, comfortable, and brightly lit, with a cold and intimidating air about them.

This private room is only accessible to the elite Gu family, a powerful and prestigious clan; it is something that others can only dream of.

Being invited by President Gu to this private room to discuss cooperation put Luo Hui's mind at ease.

This collaboration is 100% secure.

Unexpectedly, although President Gu didn't give him much time that night, he actually listened to their investment strategy.

The waiter led him to the door of the private room. "Mr. Luo, please."

Luo Hui straightened his suit and tidied his hair before stepping inside.

The private room was spacious and quiet, with no one else in it.

After passing through the large entertainment room and the movie theater, you finally arrive at the hall in the center of the private rooms.

Luo Hui immediately spotted the man sitting in the center of the sofa in the bright hall.

Gu Zhishen sat casually on the leather sofa with his legs crossed, his gaze as calm as the night sky yet concealing a chilling aura.

He casually rested his elbow on the back of the sofa, a cigarette burning between his fingers.

He simply sat there, without saying a word, exuding an aura of authority and an inviolable dignity.

Even the surrounding air became choking.

Having worked in this industry for many years and seen many impressive scenes, Luo Hui felt somewhat apprehensive and timid standing in front of this young man.

In Jingzhou, everyone knows the Gu family, a top-tier wealthy clan.

In the business world, who doesn't know the all-powerful Master Gu?

"Mr. Gu, hello. I am Luo Hui, the founder and chief director of Shile Media."

He mustered his courage, stepped forward, reached out to the man, and said with an awkward smile, "It is a great honor to see you again."

The man glanced at him, slowly took a drag of his cigarette, and neither offered him a seat nor extended his hand.

Luo Hui's hand was outstretched in mid-air, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy and awkward.

The man stared at him intently for two seconds, then suddenly gave a light chuckle.

"I heard that Mr. Luo knows me very well."

The man spoke slowly and deliberately, yet Luo Hui felt a chill run down his spine.

His heart skipped a beat, and his smile froze on his face.

Feeling the chill emanating from him, Luo Hui nervously withdrew his hand, bowed slightly, and said humbly, "President Gu, you flatter me too much! I have long admired your reputation in the business world and sincerely wish to cooperate with you."

"Is that so?"

The man slowly puffed on his cigarette, his detached gaze sweeping over him. "How do you want to cooperate?"

A disdainful smile played on his thin lips. "You think sending me a woman will make the deal work?"

The question was not harsh, but it carried a hint of danger, like a cold blade that chilled one to the bone.

Alarm bells rang in Luo Hui's mind, his expression changed, and he quickly explained, "President Gu, you may have misunderstood—"

Before he could finish speaking, a man in black next to him suddenly kicked Luo Hui in the back of the knee.

Luo Hui suddenly knelt down, his eyes wide and his face deathly pale.

It's widely rumored that you should never offend anyone from the Gu family, especially their second son, Gu Zhishen.

He appears aloof, arrogant, and self-possessed, but in reality, he is ruthless and decisive.

If you offend him, you'll be severely punished, if not killed.

"Mr. Gu!"

Luo Hui disregarded his pride and obediently knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said, "You've really misunderstood... I wouldn't dare do this even if I had ten lives..."

He quickly calculated in his mind how this matter had reached Gu Zhishen's ears.

Could it be that Jiang Li, that woman, filed the complaint?

impossible!

Aside from being pretty, Jiang Li's background and status were nowhere near as impressive as the powerful man in front of her.

How could she possibly have the ability to complain to Gu Zhishen?

Luo Hui's heart pounded, and cold sweat poured down his back.

Before he could react, a cold, hard, shiny, thin-soled leather shoe rudely lifted his chin, forcing him to look up, startling him so much that his eyes widened suddenly.

Gu Zhishen raised the corner of his eye, chuckled, and used the top of his shoe to lift Luo Hui's chin, as if teasing a dog.

"Since you enjoy trying to figure out what other people are thinking so much..."

His voice was deep and cold, tinged with mockery, "Then you might as well try to figure out how you're going to behave so I'll let you go."

After saying this, Luo Hui's face turned ashen.

......

Late at night, a majestic Maybach slowly drove out of the Lingge Clubhouse garage.

Yin Ming steadily steered the wheel, glancing out the window at the dark sky, which seemed to be about to bring a downpour.

He asked, "Boss, are we going back to Beishan Villa?"

"West Nine Yue".

Yin Ming hesitated for a second, then said, "Yes."

Immediately, the phone rang.

After answering the phone, Yin Ming reported to his supervisor, "Boss, Luo Hui has already notified their company's legal department to draft a breach of contract compensation agreement for Echo Studio."

Looking at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror, he asked, "What's next?"

In the dim light, the man's deep features flickered between light and shadow, making it impossible to discern his expression.

His slender fingertips tapped the phone screen, the light illuminating his cool, clear eyes. He tapped the screen a few times and handed it to Yin Ming.

Yin Ming glanced at the screen and saw only the word "raise". He understood immediately and nodded, "Okay, boss."

I put my phone away, and then I heard the sound of a lighter being lit in the back seat.

The tobacco burned, and white smoke billowed around it.

The man's expression was cold, and his voice was icy. "Since he likes having his shoes licked so much, then let him lick them to his heart's content until then."

At this moment, in a dimly lit private room inside the Lingge Club.

Luo Hui was kneeling on the ground, his face pale as he licked the leather shoes of more than a dozen waiters.
