Beside his feet quietly lay a corpse with its eyes horrifyingly wide open.
Three minutes ago, this was still a living being and was one of Yang Shoucheng’s bodyguards.
Now, a gaping hole, dripping with blood, could be seen in his forehead between his eyebrows.
He merely uttered a statement that incurred the ire of First Young Master Gu and ended up in such a horrendous state.
Fresh blood splattered all over the floor, filling the room with the heavy smell of blood.
The skin’s temperature was rapidly cooling.
The terrifying atmosphere of death shrouded the vast VIP lounge.
Qin Zhou looked sympathetically at Yang Shoucheng’s ashen face and walked toward the pool table to line up the billiard balls.
At one side, Ji Lin played with a few billiard balls; the expression on his face revealed that he had long been accustomed to such a scene.
Gu Jinglian took his time to sit on the couch and light a cigarette. His slender hand brushed away the slightly messy fringe covering his forehead. “Director Yang, why don’t you say something? Have we not done a good job entertaining you here?”
His body sank slightly onto the sofa.
Beside him, two seductively sexy girls in explicit outfits immediately welcomed him in their arms. Their graceful and delicate bodies draped across his torso as they carefully held his handsome face to pepper him with kisses.
He laughed lasciviously. His big palm reached beneath one of the girls’ dress without qualms and made its way up her body, stirring her lust along the way.
Yang Shoucheng looked visibly horrified. “No! First Young Master Gu, I wouldn’t dare complain…”
“Director Yang, how’s the recovery going for your injured hand?” Absorbed in fooling around with the lubricious woman sitting on his lap, Gu Jinglian did not bother looking at him. Nonetheless, his voice could not hide an icy undertone.
“There’s no issue with my hand now.”
“If Xingze ever does you an injustice, just let me know, and I’ll apologize on his behalf.”
Yang Shoucheng’s face froze. He did not know if he should laugh or cry at his words!
Apologize?
Getting the head of the number one mafia group, Gu family, to apologize was equivalent to wanting his life.
He was deeply regretting his action now.
He did not expect Gu Xingze’s brother to be Gu Jinglian from the most powerful mafia family.
This was a big deal.
He had offended someone whom he should not have offended.
He did not know the superstar’s background at the start, only finding the latter as ostentatious and openly defiant.
Who was Yang Shoucheng?
He was the godfather of Hongkong’s film industry and a living legend.
An important figure that had dominated the Hongkong film industry for over two decades or so.
He was considered as a highly influential figure in the entertainment industry. His hard-handed background and tactics meant that no one dared to offend him.
The superstar was the first and the only one to do that.
After the gala, Qin Zhou had personally brought a few high-level people from Huanyu Entertainment to apologize to him.
He was a proud man, though, so how could he let the matter rest just like that?
He told this top-star manager to hand over the superstar for him to teach a lesson personally. He wanted the young man to know of his formidable position in the vast entertainment industry.
The young man seemed to think that, just because he had been acting for a decade and had become a superstar with overwhelming fame, he could be audacious to anyone.
Even the few top executives of Huanyu had to be mindful of his old self.
Alas, that Gu Xingze, who was only a mere lad, dared to defy him still.
However… he was totally unprepared to discover that Gu Xingze was not that simple.
The powerful Gu family was a legendary mafia group in the capital, and it had been around for hundreds of years.
It could be said that the Gu was the only family comparable to the Mu family in power.
