TLSOTMTKOGAYWHTDI Chapter 32
by VolareZhuo Huaimo rotated the tail ring on his finger, the cold light of the screen reflecting his grim smile.
“How about 30 million to buy the evidence of the 32 celebrities’ scandals that you’ve exposed before?”
He tapped the tablet and pushed it over – the screen recorded all his chat logs with various media outlets, original videos and photos taken in secret.
Yu Fengran played with his Swiss Army knife, “Cao Ke, you should still have an impression, right? A big shot who is well-connected in both the underworld and the overworld, the one who was exposed last week for playing with transvestites in Thailand…”
He paused, then slapped the knife on “Evil Dog’s” face, turning his head to look at Zhuo Huaimo,
“Oh right, what happened to the media company that broke this news?”
Zhuo Huaimo smiled, looking down without a word, but even without saying anything, he exuded a chilling coldness.
Yu Fengran leaned close to “Evil Dog’s” ear,
“Bang—it seems…the whole office was blown up. It’s said that no one has found out who did it yet!”
“Evil Dog” visibly choked, his entire face turning pale.
Zhuo Huaimo slowly and unhurriedly pushed the tablet in front of “Evil Dog” again, his slender fingers pointing out Cao Ke’s name in the list,
“Tell me, if Cao Ke found out that you sold the news to the media, what…do you think he would do to you?”
Yu Fengran placed the army knife by “Evil Dog’s” crotch, “Want to go to Thailand? After all, he’s familiar with that place?”
Large beads of sweat poured out of “Evil Dog’s” forehead. He wiped them non-stop, still stubbornly saying,
“President Zhuo prides himself on being a businessman, he wouldn’t want to deal with people like them!”
Yu Fengran raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, looking at Zhuo Huaimo,
“Oh, your reputation outside is actually pretty good!”
Zhuo Huaimo crooked a cigarette in his mouth and said jokingly, “You think too highly of me. I’m really not that great of a person, I play around with people, and I love to watch the drama. I really want to see how a man turns into a transvestite!”
“Evil Dog” was so frightened that he “thumped” and knelt on the ground,
“President Zhuo, no, don’t do this, I’ll give you the originals, I definitely won’t say anything, let’s call it even, okay?”
Zhuo Huaimo took a deep drag of his cigarette, gently patting his cheek,
“You’re so good at things, let me give you a big gift, how about it?”
In this situation, “Evil Dog” really didn’t dare to accept Zhuo Huaimo’s big gift!
“No need, no need, you’re too kind!”
With a “thud,” a stack of documents fell in front of him. Zhuo Huaimo raised his chin at him,
“Open it and take a look!”
Inside the file bag were all the records of financial transactions between “Evil Dog’s” wife and his mistress.
Yu Fengran sat down in front of him, “You spend all day watching other people’s backyards, but you don’t even know your own house is on fire. If this gets out, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by your peers!”
“Evil Dog’s” fists cracked with anger, and he stood up to rush out.
“Stop!”
Zhuo Huaimo said coldly, “Give the media companies a heads-up. You know how to report on Qi Yanwang’s matter, I don’t need to teach you, right?”
“Evil Dog” obediently agreed, left the originals, and left.
Yu Fengran looked at Zhuo Huaimo, hesitant to speak.
“Speak plainly!”
Zhuo Huaimo took a deep drag of his cigarette, pressing his thumb against his brow, and said faintly.
“Do you regret it?”
Zhuo Huaimo knew what he was talking about. Back then, he had defied all opinions and insisted on signing Qi Yanwang. Although he had made money for the company, he had also caused a lot of trouble.
Zhuo Huaimo finished the last drag of his cigarette, violently stubbed the butt out in the ashtray, and got up to say,
“I have something to do, I’m leaving first. You take care of the final cleanup!”
When Qi Yanwang was exhausted from venting his anger at the boxing gym, Zhuo Huaimo kicked open the iron mesh door.
Sweat trickled down his abdominal muscles into his waistband, Qi Yanwang tore off his gloves and sneered,
“Is President Zhuo here to discuss terminating the contract or to discuss the penalty for breach of contract?”
Zhuo Huaimo sat opposite him, twiddled his fingers, and asked coldly,
“Why did you do it?”
“For no reason!”
Zhuo Huaimo threw the surveillance screenshots onto his sweaty chest,
“Because they said homosexuals are disgusting?”
He stood up, his fair fingertips pressing on the scar on his collarbone,
“Because you think they’re right, and you seem to have become the kind of person they’re talking about, and you yourself feel disgusted!”
Qi Yanwang suddenly punched the sandbag,
“I didn’t! I just couldn’t stand…”
Zhuo Huaimo loosened his collar with one hand, “Qi Yanwang, I’ll give you the answer you can’t give. Let me tell you clearly, you and I are not the same kind of people!”
“You’re like a child who hasn’t grown up, trying to get my attention by crying and making a fuss. And your obsession with me is just because you’re unwilling!”
“I’m not!”
Qi Yanwang stood in front of him, “I am…”
“You are what?”
Zhuo Huaimo raised his eyebrows and looked at him, “Want to say you like me? Heh, admit it, you’re just unwilling, you feel like I used to like you and always revolved around you, so you took it for granted that I was your possession, and you didn’t allow anyone else to covet me! But now, you’ve found that I’m out of control, you’re just like a child whose toy has been snatched, out of control, angry, and even hurting people!”
He paused, then looked calmly at Qi Yanwang,
“You not only can’t distinguish your own feelings, but also can’t control your emotions. Qi Yanwang, you’ve disappointed me too much!”
Qi Yanwang’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly hugged Zhuo Huaimo from behind, his voice almost trembling,
“I was wrong, I was wrong! You can’t have anyone else in your heart, don’t be disappointed in me, please!”
Zhuo Huaimo’s body stiffened obviously, he was a little dazed. He pried open his hand, looked at him seriously,
“You finally have a little progress in your career, make some achievements for me to see, don’t let me look down on you! I don’t want to clean up your messes a second time!”
As he spoke, he strode out, and Qi Yanwang grabbed his wrist.
“Don’t go!”
Zhuo Huaimo didn’t turn his head, and said faintly, “Today, Yu Fengran and I went to deal with your problem. When it was over, he asked me, do I regret signing you?”
Qi Yanwang’s grip on his wrist suddenly tightened, his fingertips were cold, and his breathing became rapid.
Zhuo Huaimo chuckled lightly, “I regret it!”
Qi Yanwang released his hand, quietly watching his departing back, as if his soul had been emptied, standing blankly in place!
After that day, he never returned to Zhuo Huaimo’s villa.
Zhuo Huaimo’s sentence “I regret signing you” was like a curse that he couldn’t shake off. Every time he thought of these words, Qi Yanwang felt like a layer of flesh and blood was being torn open alive, and he was in crazy pain.
Zhuo Huaimo said he regretted it?
Qi Yanwang bit the cigarette butt between his thin lips, he would one day make him understand that he shouldn’t regret signing him, but regret provoking him!
“Teacher Qi, we’re ready here, we can start filming!” The staff called out.
Qi Yanwang stubbed out the cigarette butt and turned around to meet Zhuo Huaimo, who was going to Studio Two to shoot a variety show poster.
He went straight past him, without the slightest pause.
As if the two had just met, arrogant and unruly!
Zhuo Huaimo’s lips curled up slightly, very good, finally everything had returned to the starting point, this was the best ending!
The promotion and announcements for “Dark Surge” were almost coming to an end. Qi Yanwang had gained a large number of fans with his outstanding acting skills, and job offers kept coming. Soon, he followed the company’s arrangements and prepared to join a new production crew again.
On this day, he was getting his makeup done in the new crew, but the TV was broadcasting,
“Recently, heavy rainfall has caused a landslide in some areas of ‘Fallen Glow Valley’. The ‘Recreating Life’ program crew is trapped, some guests are missing, and rescue work is underway!”
“Recreating Life”?
Zhuo Huaimo?
