Returning to his room, Gu Ziyue sat pondering for quite a while before he eventually opened his laptop and sent an email to a friend, asking for help in gathering so information.
Within twenty minutes, Gu Ziye’s inbox pinged with a reply, along with an attachnt containing all the details about Callia and boy, was he surprised.
“Wow! Is Callia really this incredible?” Gu Ziyue scrolled through the docunt with widened eyes, reading the remarkable details about her, his mouth agape in astonishnt.
Gu Ziye’s eyes glued to the screen, he read aloud, “Beca famous at 17 with a fashion design for the National Beauty Sky. Wow, stunning.
“At 18, entered an international competition alone, standing out amongst nurous renowned designers both nationally and internationally, and won first place. Beca the first person from Leucia to win a gold award globally. That’s badass.
“At 19, founded the highly sought-after brand, Qiyan Studio, which has been unrivaled in the fashion world to this day, specializing only in haute couture. Damn.
“At 20, she retired…? In the design world, she’s known as a
legend—ever-present in stories but absent in person. The Great Artist BlankCanvas. What? Retired at 20? What’s she retiring from at such a young age?
“Wait a minute!” It suddenly hit Gu Ziye. He’d looked into Callia before when he was considering a design venture for Jingsheng Corporation. Back then, he couldn’t find any of this information. He wondered how all these details appeared out of nowhere.
A chill ran down Gu Ziyue’s spine. He shivered, then continued scrolling through the dossier on Callia.
The more Gu Ziye read, the more engrossed he beca as if he was reading not about a stranger but his closest confidant and partner.
“Ha, now with both Qiyan Studio and Callia, I’d like to see who dares to compete with !” Gu Ziyue chuckled.
However, just as he reached the final page, a creepy face suddenly popped up on the screen, giving him quite a jolt. Below it, a line of text floated up.
“Unfilial son, done reading your dad’s files?”
Next to the text, in artistic font, was the word Qi accompanied by a grotesque face with a big nose, red lips, and a face full of freckles.
“What the hell is this monstrosity? My eyes!” Gu Ziye cursed.
But upon a closer look, Gu Ziye realized that the grotesque face resembled his own.
‘Damn it!’ Furious, Gu Ziyue sprang to his feet, tempted to punch his laptop screen into smithereens.
Why did I feel like I’d been played? How could all this be a re coincidence? That cheeky tone, the audacious Qi, and that obnoxious distortion of my face. I refused to believe this wasn’t a prank by Rong Qi!’
Gu Ziye sent another email to his friend, asking, [Are you sure this is the information you gathered for ?]
The reply ca swiftly, [I apologize, Mr. Gu. I’ll refund your million. I just saw the sa information on Baidu as well…]
Gu Ziyue was puzzled. His friend: [Don’t ask , I know nothing. Playing dead is the best course of action now.]
With that, Gu Ziye’s friend’s profile picture turned gray.
Speechless, Gu Ziyue closed the email and opened Baidu.
Sure enough, when Gu Ziye typed Callia’s na into the search bar again, the information matched word for word what he’d just read—except for that infuriating line and his grotesque face.
The handso features of Gu Ziyue’s face began to show cracks of disbelief.. He wondered, ‘Could all this information have been uploaded by Rong Qi herself? Otherwise, how could it be that just after the identity of the Qiyan Studio’s boss had been exposed, all this information had been added?’
