"This..."
The two bodyguards glanced at each other, their expressions slightly unnatural.
However, after hesitating for a mont and seeing Li Zheng Yi’s cold, mocking gaze, they awkwardly answered truthfully, "Young Master Li, the woman, it was us... we called her back to accompany you."
After speaking and seeing Uncle Hua’s stern look and the extrely grim expression on Li Zheng Yi’s face, they quickly gestured with their hands in panic, explaining loudly, "Young Master Li, this matter, it isn’t our fault, last night... the situation was extrely urgent, you were incessantly demanding a woman..."
"What exactly happened, quickly tell the whole process!"
Li Zheng Yi’s face darkened as if it were ink, and in his mind, an ominous premonition beca more and more overwhelming. Uncle Hua’s expression next to him also gradually turned grave.
"Yes, yes, it’s like this..."
Seeing the expression on Li Zheng Yi’s face, the two n dared not hesitate any longer and hurriedly spoke all at once, recounting everything without omission, starting from when they were in charge of security at the door, hearing soone co to report the news, learning that Li Zheng Yi had lost composure after drinking, then they quickly rushed over and stopped Li Zheng Yi from continuing to publicly harass that female star, dispersing the party...
As he listened to the recounting of his subordinates, Li Zheng Yi’s face grew increasingly green, then pale, then purple, then black. Towards the end, he felt his head spinning again, his vision darkening, and he almost collapsed, but thankfully Uncle Hua’s quick reflexes saved him, catching him just in ti to prevent his falling to the ground.
After listening to the two n’s story, Uncle Hua couldn’t help but sigh with relief, at least he knew that Li Zheng Yi’s current condition wasn’t caused by any special thod and there was no life-threatening danger, it was rely due to excessive indulgence.
But his heart couldn’t help being sowhat puzzled and filled with confusion. Why would soone target him? Could it be that the person just wanted to sneak in for so good wine? And after being caught by accident, they retaliated by taking him down?
"Everything happened just like that!"
The two n’s ability to express themselves was not exactly stellar. After much difficulty, they finally managed to convey the sequence of events completely to Li Zheng Yi, their faces twisted into a bitter gourd expression, indicating their own helplessness.
"Ring, ring, ring...!!!"
Li Zheng Yi’s expression had already gone completely blank, with no reaction whatsoever, while Uncle Hua looked at him, sighed, and was just about to comfort the two subordinates, but at that mont, his phone suddenly rang stridently. He quickly turned his head, pulled out the phone, and pressed the answer button.
"What?"
Just hearing the sentence that ca through the phone, Uncle Hua exclaid sharply, his expression revealing a trace of panic. He glanced at Li Zheng Yi subconsciously, quickly covered the phone, and lowered his voice.
However, his exclamation had already attracted Li Zheng Yi’s attention. Perhaps, had there been no signs of him rashly trying to hide sothing, with Li Zheng Yi’s current state, he might not have asked anything, but his deanor exactly triggered Li Zheng Yi’s curiosity.
"Uncle Hua, that call just now, what did it say?"
The mont he put down the phone, Li Zheng Yi imdiately turned his gaze onto him.
"Young... Young Master..."
Uncle Hua’s eyes were sowhat frantic, trying to hide sothing, but he was really not good at lying, especially in front of Li Zheng Yi, and his tone of voice imdiately beca stamring.
"Speak!"
Li Zheng Yi’s eyes turned cold.
"That... soone has posted about last night’s incident online, the dia has already started reporting on it... Young Master, rest assured, we will make sure this gets handled properly for you..."
Uncle Hua looked into Li Zheng Yi’s eyes, finally managed to convey the news he had just received with so difficulty. After finishing, he looked at Li Zheng Yi warily, rushing to offer reassurance. However, before he could finish...
"Puh!"
Li Zheng Yi could no longer control himself, could no longer withstand the shock, feeling a sharp pain between his heart and lungs, and with a gasp, a mouthful of fresh blood violently sprayed out.
"Young Master Li, Young Master Li!"
"Young Master!"
The three of them almost simultaneously let out a cry of alarm, supporting Li Zhengyi as they anxiously spoke.
Even the actress next to them was startled, not expecting Li Zhengyi’s reaction to be so severe. However, her mind quickly beca preoccupied with the news she’d just heard. After digesting it for a mont, she could barely conceal the indescribable excitent and joy that spread across her face. She thought by connecting with Young Master Li, it was for the sake of her future career in show business. Now, suddenly being exposed, wouldn’t her fa skyrocket, making her path to stardom all the more rapid?
Just who was the person who spilled the beans? So thoughtful! She would definitely have to thank them properly later...
The more the actress thought about it, the happier she beca. She even began to plan how she would handle future interviews and craft her statents to reignite the montum, allowing herself to ride this wave of publicity and beco famous throughout the world. If it weren’t for the fact that there were several other people in the room, and Li Zhengyi was throwing up blood, making it an utterly inappropriate ti for her to laugh, she might have burst into uncontrollable laughter...
"Young Master, are you alright, alright?"
Uncle Hua and the others had no ti to bother with the little starlet, as they were too anxious, their behinds as if on fire, closely watching over Li Zhengyi’s condition.
"Bastard!"
Li Zhengyi clenched his teeth and turned a ghastly shade, his lips purple as he spat out three words with eyes that seed to devour, not having the chance to clarify who those words were directed at before his vision darkened and he lost consciousness once again. This left Uncle Hua and the others in a panicked frenzy, calling out in disarray.

"Boss, who do you think leaked the news? Was it that male blue athlete who was rumored to have a disagreent with him, or that actress he was involved with in a scandal? Or perhaps, it was the actress molested just last night? In my opinion, the latter is more likely. Nowadays, these entertainers, especially the female stars, will stop at nothing to create hype and boost their exposure. And who could pass up the chance to cling to a scumbag of the Li surna? But the second one is also highly possible—’hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,’ and if she was offended by Li..."
"I don’t know who leaked the news, but I do know if you keep rambling on and on, I’m likely going to be the source for the next news story," Xiao Yi finally couldn’t stand it any longer, stopped eating his al, and gave Fatty Tang a glare.
"Ah? What do you an?"
Fatty Tang was taken aback, not imdiately grasping Xiao Yi’s aning.
"The next hot piece of news headlines: ’A first-year maths student from Z University turned neurotic after reading a newspaper article...’"
Xiao Yi said slowly, "I’m sure that news would be no less sensational than the other, and might just overshadow it completely."
"Boss, that’s too much... I’m just paying more attention to gossip and news, that’s all. I’m just passionate about the world and life, unlike you, emotionless as a log. Besides, I’m just concerned about you..."
Fatty Tang’s face froze, his features tensed, his cheeks flushing with anger as he retorted.
"Thanks a lot. If you really care about , then please shut your mouth and let have a quiet lunch," Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and picked up his chopsticks again, continuing to work his way through the al.
Just paying more attention? Ever since he discovered the news, he’d been yamring nonstop, and even the teachers couldn’t curb his fervor. Xiao Yi had hoped that after enduring two classes, Fatty Tang’s enthusiasm would’ve died down, but even in the cafeteria, it showed no sign of waning.
"Hey, Boss, I think sothing’s off with your reaction," Fatty Tang, having been the target of Xiao Yi’s jabs quite often, developed a stronger immunity to them. After a brief mont of gloominess, he quickly perked up like a cockroach that couldn’t be squashed, and, eyeing the lackadaisical Xiao Yi, he had an epiphany, exclaid in surprise, and a hint of suspicion filled his eyes.
Xiao Yi couldn’t be bothered with him, continuing to eat while pondering the breakthroughs and doubts of the Chen Jianguo assassination case in his mind.
"Your calmness is just too strange. Did you leak the news? Did you hire a private detective to snap those photos? Boss, you are too cool, that move is just too ruthless, too brilliant!"
Fatty Tang spoke, and as he did, his eyes began to sparkle. The more he talked, the brighter his gaze beca, and he increasingly felt that his guess was incredibly plausible. Li Zhengyi had co to the classroom in front of so many people to try to embarrass Xiao Yi. Even though Xiao Yi seed composed at the ti, that was just a facade, he must have hated Li Zhengyi to death... The motive was clear, a hundred percent; also, Xiao Yi’s reaction when he saw the news... though he paused, it wasn’t the reaction he should have had; it was as if he already knew...
"Pff!"
Xiao Yi almost choked on his al upon hearing Fatty Tang’s words. It took him a while to catch his breath before raising his head and staring at Fatty Tang, stunned by the explorative spirit on his face.
