After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 28
A week later, Jiaolong Investment Group.
The four team members gathered together, excitedly discussing—
“Lou’s new products are going to explode this season, this rising sales volume is too good right?”
“The new exterior design is so brilliant! Although I got a gift as an insider, I still bought all the other lipstick cases. Who can resist this! Say, how did Designer Shi, as a man, come up with interchangeable case design?”
“Designer Shi is young, powerful, and good-looking. It’s a pity that the famous grass has an owner1.”
“Then again, there are times when the Investment Analysis Department made some errors in their valuation. Lou’s performance in this quarter must have increased by more than 2%, right?”
A week ago, the public opinion of Zhao’s Meiji air cushion’s ‘rotten face’ became more and more heated, causing strong protests from countless consumers.
At the same time, Lou company, a small domestic cosmetics brand, stood up and took out a series of evidence and the copyright certificate of appearance patent, pointing directly at the appearance plagiarism of Zhao’s new products.
The rotten face Zhao’s products hold themselves high with the ‘domestic brand’ gimmick, but they actually plagiarized the product appearance in secret?
What the f*ck?
The anger of consumers was ignited all at once. They made more and more complaints to the Industrial and Commercial Supervision Department.
They seized the behind-the-scenes leaders of the air cushion brand and poured dog blood2 on all of them.
Even if Zhao and their brand denied the ‘plagiarism’ at the first, the ‘rotten face’ caused by the air cushion was a fact that they couldn’t get rid of, so they failed to win back the trust of consumers, and the stock value continued to plummet and evaporate within a week. Their losses were becoming increasingly serious.
On the contrary, Lou’s Hua Zhong Ge, which had always called themselves ‘a small domestic brand’, had entered the netizens’ and customers’ radar.
Although Lou’s Hua Zhong Ge used to follow the minority route, the reputation of their products had always been very good because they were conscientious.
At present, Hua Zhong Ge had attracted the attention of netizens by relying on the beautiful national-style outer packaging, and immediately the water army spontaneously jumped out to recommend the product——
“Oops! My favorite domestic brand is about to be discovered by everyone!”
“Sisters, listen to me! Hua Zhong Ge’s stuff is really easy to use! The packaging used to be quite plastic, so I’m embarrassed to recommend it! This time the new product packaging is simply divine. Must buy!”
“To tell the truth, her house stuff works pretty well.”
This was an era that required marketing and traffic. Only by finding ways to enter the vision of consumers could they open up the situation of blocked sales.
With Luo’s investment, Hua Zhong Ge had gone all out to launch overwhelming publicity, online promotion, video , and even printed was not spared!
Of course, there were also doubts from netizens——
“Start throwing away the money to the water army again? You guys haven’t learned enough lessons from Meiji’s air cushion? It must be another plastic quality product!”
“I no longer believe that domestic brands can produce anything good. They deceive consumers by preaching supporting domestic products and national-style design!”
In the face of such distrustful voices, Lou did not argue, but seized the time to distribute the existing new products in stock. Therefore, the first batch of customers who placed orders received the goods within three days.
Before long, these first batch of customers screamed out on the online sharing platform one after another. To sum up in one statement——
“Good quality! High appearance value! The price is conscientious! The product itself works very well!”
Released at the same period as Zhao’s Meiji Air Cushion with the title of ‘domestic brand and national style design’, Lou’s Hua Zhong Ge simply pressed their opponent to the ground with a dimensional reduction strike3!
After the first round of customer verification, more and more online beauty bloggers and ordinary netizens also started to purchase, evaluate, and recommend.
In just one week, Lou’s added three additional rounds of pre-sale and all of them were sold out!
Whether it was the brand owner Lou or the investor Luo, this was a win-win situation with big profits for both parties!
Some members of the team secretly rejoiced, “Fortunately, we didn’t listen to Chen Hui’s instigation and left the team. I feel like we’ve picked up good things with a cheap bargain this time.”
They thought Lou company would have no future development4, but unexpectedly the other party was actually a dark horse that made their own way through the fiercely competitive cosmetic market.
The rest of the team nodded in agreement, and some couldn’t help but gossip in a low voice, “Say, how did the first version of the design get leaked?”
“Who knows?”
“Didn’t the group headquarter order a thorough investigation of this matter? Why is the efficiency so slow this time? It’s been almost a week…”
Only halfway through the sentence, Yuan Hong, who was in the independent office, slammed the door open, and left anxiously in front of all the team members.
“What happened to Brother Yuan recently? He seems restless?”
“Who knows?”
Yuan Hong had no time to pay attention to the team members’ discussion. He rushed to the stairwell according to the WeChat message he had received. As soon as he opened the safety passage door, he saw Chen Hui smoking and waiting there.
The two looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
Yuan Hong slammed the door of the stairwell shut, his chest heaving, “Chen Hui! Can you please stop bothering me?”
Luo and Lou not only sued Zhao and others for ‘appearance plagiarism’, but also ordered a thorough investigation to find the mole. Yuan Hong had been living in fear for a week!
“If I’m not looking for you, then who should I look for?”
Chen Hui threw his extinguished cigarette to the ground, and crushed it with the sole of his shoe, “Damn, Luo Yanchuan, that son of a b*tch who didn’t keep his words! He’s a rich young master but is still so stingy.”
At the banquet that day, Luo Yanchuan said, “The assistant will give the cash later”. But no one would have thought that bad comments about the brand would suddenly break out on the Internet.
The celebration banquet ended in a hurry, and the money Chen Hui longed for was gone.
Because he lost his job and was idle at home, Chen Hui’s wife kept talking all day long. Unable to hold himself back, Chen Hui slapped his wife twice during a quarrel. Now the other party was determined to divorce him!
Chen Hui’s family relationship was not smooth, and he was more and more concerned about the money that hadn’t been settled.
He repeatedly tried to contact Luo Yanchuan’s assistant, but the other party was either busy or hung up his calls. This morning, he was directly blocked by the other side.
In a fit of rage, Chen Hui went to find Yuan Hong.
He clicked his tongue again, “Without company permission, I almost couldn’t get in. Fortunately, I recognized a familiar security guard downstairs.”
The other party didn’t know that Chen Hui had resigned. He believed that he didn’t bring his access card, so he(CH) was let in with a pack of cigarettes.
Yuan Hong was disgusted with Chen Hui in his heart, but asked with a straight face, “What’s the use of coming to me?”
“Old Yuan, since you’re working for Luo Yanchuan, why don’t you pay me the labor fee on his behalf?”
Chen Hui relayed the idea he had in mind.
Yuan Hong seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and replied angrily, “Chen Hui, I advise you to find a new job if you have the time. I don’t know the situation with Young Master Luo. I can’t contact him these days. I don’t have the spare money to give you.”
“No money? How dare you guys trick me?”
Chen Hui’s expression immediately changed, both warnings and threats were sent out, “Old Yuan, I advise you to think clearly, or I’ll break into the office now and tell everyone clearly—”
“Shi Yunnan’s design draft was given to me by you. You asked me to secretly hand it over to Luo Yanchuan and the others because you were afraid of taking the blame!”
Chen Hui pointed to the closed safety door behind him, and began to show his real greedy face, “I’ve already resigned anyway, but you’re different. Luo company has no use for the son of a b*tch who lives off them but secretly helps outsiders.”
Yuan Hong’s face suddenly turned ashen, “Chen Hui! You dare to curse at me? Don’t be too shameless! What kind of shit are you! How dare you threaten me?”
This design draft was not sent through the company’s computer, nor was it personally handed by Yuan Hong to Luo Yanchuan. Even if the company wanted to investigate, there was no direct evidence that led to him.
Chen Hui immediately spit at him, “Getting angry due to shame, huh? The more you’re not calm like this, doesn’t it mean that you’re not that confident in your heart?”
“Old Yuan, how can I still not understand you old fritter5? Two hundred thousand, I want two hundred thousand!”
He paused and used his hand to compare the figure, “Your annual salary and commission are more than that, right? Isn’t it good to spend money to protect your future?”
Yuan Hong stared at Chen Hui’s disgusting face and smiled, “Are you sure you only need this much?”
Chen Hui thought that the other party had relented, and nodded, “Of course, for the sake of us being former colleagues, I specially give you…”
–Bang!
Before Chen Hui could finish his sentence, he was punched to the ground by Yuan Hong.
“Twenty thousand? Are you f*cking worth it?”
“If you have the ability, run to your colleagues and company boss to talk about it! Let’s see who will believe you!” Yuan Hong couldn’t wait to have a scapegoat, and kept insisting that he himself was in the right.
“I think it’s clear that you, Chen Hui, harbor a grudge after being dismissed by Shi Yunnan, so you stole his design draft and sold it to the other competitor! Now I’ve caught you!”
Yuan Hong didn’t want to put the blame on Chen Hui.
No matter what, even if he was involved in the incident and tragically resigned, Luo Yanchuan promised to help him find a new and more respectable job.
Why should he be afraid of the threat from a despicable villain like Chen Hui?
Chen Hui touched the blood on the corner of his mouth. He failed to get the money and was even unexpectedly injured? All of a sudden, he was furious, how could he tolerate this!
He grabbed Yuan Hong’s legs and threw him to the ground with all his strength.
Yuan Hong lost control of his center of gravity and fell to the ground. He felt intense pain all over his body. By the time he reacted again, he had already been pressed down and punched several times by Chen Hui in return.
The two of them refused to give in. They scuffled in this narrow corridor, both fighting fiercely against each other.
Unknown amount of time later, there was an ear-splitting sound of the door being pulled, and the outside light was cast into the dimly lit corridor.
The two people in the scuffle stopped at the same time, in the next second, they were pulled apart and controlled separately by four security guards who had just entered.
“Why are you tying me up? Get lost!” Chen Hui turned his head and shouted anxiously, only to find that one of them was the security guard who had just let him into the company.
“Security guard, you’ve got the wrong person! He’s not an employee of our company. Hurry…” Yuan Hong didn’t have time to finish before he swallowed it back into his stomach due to fright.
Shi Yunnan approached slowly and stopped outside the safety door. Qin Jian, Luo Lingsheng’s assistant and Luo company’s general secretary, was beside him.
Yuan Hong suddenly felt a sense of impending crisis. He couldn’t even care about his physical pain anymore, “Shi, Mr. Shi, general secretary Qin.”
Shi Yunnan’s playful eyes swirled around the two of them, “What a good dogfight. You guys were fighting so fiercely that I was too embarrassed to disturb while listening to the commotion outside the door.”
“Mr. Shi, what do you mean?” Yuan Hong asked.
“What do I mean? Didn’t you guys already spill all the truth just now?” Shi Yunan sneered and signaled to Qin Jian beside him with his eyes.
Qin Jian nodded at him and stepped forward, “Yuan Hong, Chen Hui, there is enough evidence to suspect that you have leaked the company’s trade secret and caused losses in business investment.”
Trade secret?
Raising the design draft to the level of trade secret?
Yuan Hong realized the seriousness of the implication. His legs went weak and he almost couldn’t stand properly, “Mr. Shi, there is a misunderstanding here! The product design is not my…”
“Pei! Yuan Hong, you shameless bastard!”
Chen Hui interrupted Yuan Hong’s explanation, and shouted at Shi Yunnan with dissatisfaction, “Shi Yunnan, are you mistaken?”
“The day you entered the post, I quitted my job! I don’t know anything about the design draft! All I know is that you have no right to have someone restrain me! That’s illegal for you to…”
“Are you worthy to talk about the law with me now?”
Shi Yunnan stepped into the corridor unhurriedly. His smiling and playful eyes instantly became extremely sharp.
Qin Jian was the first to feel the sudden change in his aura, and secretly sighed—
When the patriarch was present, Mr. Shi always called out ‘husband’ this and that in front of outsiders. He looked aggrieved and soft, as if anyone could bully him.
In fact, as soon as the patriarch was not present, he completely changed into a haughty and not easy to bully attitude. He could frightened others with might when he flared up.
“I’ll tell you guys a popular science6fact for free. If one leaks trade secrets and causes losses to the company, just like you, paying compensation and fine is considered as a light punishment. Generally, you can be sentenced up to three or seven years in prison depending on the circumstances.”
“Guess how many years each of you will be locked up?”

It means that he has a partner or he likes someone else.
2
Curse at someone.
3
This is a term that originated from a novel. It basically means those with overwhelming strength could easily crush ordinary people with their knowledge and ability.
4
The saying here is 扶不起的阿斗[fú bu qǐ de ā dǒu] which translated to Ah Dou Who couldn’t be support. Ah Dou refers to Liu Shan, the son of Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms period. This person was very incompetent. Today this term is generally used to describe a person who is disappointing and has no future.
5
A derogatory term refers to a slick and experienced person that worked in an organization for a long time. They’re quite dishonest and good with lip service.

Not literally science. On the Chinese internet, the word popular science is mostly used to ask for explanation or information from others when encountering something that you don’t understand.
As a designer, Shi Yunnan had zero tolerance for ‘design theft’.
Today, he and Qin Jian came to the company for Yuan Hong, one of the moles. He didn’t expect to see the sneaky Chen Hui as soon as he arrived at the ground floor of the company.
Therefore they didn’t catch one but two turtles in the urn1.
Yuan Hong and Chen Hui suddenly panicked when they heard that they were going to jail.
“I didn’t do it! Yuan Hong instructed me! I have resigned from the company! I’m not an employee here anymore! This matter has nothing to do with me!”
“Mr. Shi, I…”
Shi Yunnan turned around and left, not intending to listen to their explanation at all. Of course, he never planned to let them go.
Qin Jian came up and firmly stopped the two of them from retreating, “We have already called the police. If you have anything to say, please slowly explain to the police!”
Chen Hui and Yuan Hong stared at Shi Yunnan’s back. Beaten black and blue, they were covered with wounds and cut a sorry figure at the moment.
Chen Hui’s face turned red, wishing he could kill Yuan Hong. He endlessly throwed profanity at him.
Yuan Hong’s face was pale, his body was covered in hot and cold sweat, and his head was buzzing.
He no longer had the energy to stop Chen Hui’s scolding. His guts turned green with regret at this moment—
He originally had a stable and decent job. His annual salary was enough to make his wife and children happy, and to make relatives and friends envious.
Why did he walk into this mess?
When all is said and done, it was all his fault. He was deceived by Luo Yanchuan’s ‘big pie’. Now that he had self-destructed his own future, would the other party come to the police station to fish him out? Obviously not.
With such a big disturbance in the safety passage, it would be difficult for the employees inside the company not to know about it.
Under the disbelieving and contemptuous gazes of a group of people, Yuan Hong and Chen Hui were both taken away from the company by the police, their lives completely turned into a joke.
As soon as Yuan Hong left, his place was naturally vacant.
During this period, Chang Le, an intern who helped run errands in secret, was promoted to the position of team leader by Shi Yunnan and other high-level executives.
Without including the bonus commission percentage that Lou company would give after the quarterly summary, his salary alone had doubled several times!
This incident attracted the envy and admiration of the other investment department’s employees.
What is this called?
Stand on the right team! Get the well-deserved money!
…
Shi Yunnan was in a particularly good mood after dealing with the two moles Chen Hui and Yuan Hong. Seeing that it was still early, he temporarily decided to follow Qin Jian to the headquarters of the Luo Group.
The exclusive elevator went straight to the top floor.
As soon as the two got out of the elevator, a young and beautiful female secretary greeted them, “Brother Jian.”
The female secretary looked at Shi Yunnan’s unfamiliar but handsome face and asked politely, “Who is this gentleman?”
The person who could make Qin Jian take him to the top office must have a big background.
“Shi Yunnan, Mr. Shi.”
Qin Jian introduced him in one short phrase without deliberately publicizing the relationship between Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan, for fear that the two of them would not be used to it.
“Ling Na, is the patriarch busy?” Qin Jian asked.
Ling Na replied somewhat hesitantly, “Mr. and Mrs. of the second house are here. It hasn’t been ten minutes since they entered Director Luo’s office.”
“Mr. Shi, would you please come to the reception room with me first?”
When Shi Yunnan heard the first half of the sentence, he probably guessed some reasons.
Last week, Luo and Lou’s Huazhongge jointly sued Zhao and their brand for design plagiarism, and the case was still in process.
However, due to the attention and criticism of online public opinion, as well as sufficient time and evidence, it was almost certain that Lou could win this infringement lawsuit.
According to the relevant regulations, they should be able to reap a considerable amount of compensation.
According to the lawyer’s words, Zhao pushed the main responsibility onto Yalan brand, and also said that it was a scam deliberately created by Xie Keyue.
Xie Keyue’s factory had been closed down by the relevant departments, and he had piled up a lot of messy lawsuits. Perhaps he would also alarm old man Shi this time because of this big problem.
In addition, Luo Yanchuan’s activities of hiding behind the shell company ‘Yate’ to hurt Luo Group interest couldn’t be hidden.
It could be assumed that Luo’s second house was informed of this, that’s why they rushed to cover up for their worrisome son.
“Mr. Shi? Please come with me to the conference room?” Ling Na asked again.
As soon as the word ‘yes’ came out of Shi Yunan’s mouth, the closed office door opened.
Luo Dexing and his wife walked out of the office one after another. The former didn’t look very good, while the latter carried the look of ‘life after surviving a disaster’ happiness.
The two seemed to recognize Shi Yunnan, but because of the current situation, they bypassed him and others without saying a word.
“It’s less than fifteen minutes since they went in, how come they’re out so soon?” Ling Na whispered to Qin Jian.
Shi Yunnan stood where he was, staring at the second house couple as they entered the elevator and left.
Ling Na glanced at Shi Yunnan, who was standing in the same place, and said cordially, “Mr. Shi, wait a moment, Director Luo will have an international conference in fifteen minutes. Let me go in and inform him of your visit…”
“Fifteen minutes?” Shi Yunan muttered.
He didn’t wait for the other party to finish speaking, and then walked towards the office with a smile.
Seeing his ‘rash’ words and deeds, Ling Na immediately wanted to stop him, but Qin Jian stopped her first, “Let Mr. Shi go, the patriarch will not be angry.”
The only person who could enter and leave the Patriarch’s office at will without any announcement was probably Mr. Shi.
…
Shi Yunnan pushed open the office door, only to find that there was actually a small compartment inside.
Yuan Meng and another bodyguard were guarding the door on the left, and on the right was a small glass office, which seemed to be Qin Jian’s usual work space.
Shi Yunnan took two steps forward, and the bodyguard at the door alertly reached out his hand to stop him, “Stop!”
Shi Yunnan stopped in cooperation, but shifted his gaze to the more familiar Yuan Meng, jokingly said, “Yuan Meng, you won’t let me in? But Qin Jian let me in.”
“…..”
Yuan Meng silently withdrew his hand that was stopped in mid-air, and said solemnly to his bodyguard colleague, “No need to stop him.”
Otherwise, if Mr. Shi patted his butt and left, the patriarch would definitely be angry when he found out, and the last to suffer would be them.
Then he would definitely be teased by Qin Jian in private, absolutely not!
Yuan Meng was the main captain of this group of bodyguards. Seeing this, the other person had no choice but to withdraw his hand.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, and politely knocked on the door of the inner office.
“Come in.” A clean and sharp monotone sounded.
Shi Yunnan decisively opened the door and entered.
Even at the end of September, the air-conditioning in the office was still turned on at full force. The interior space was larger than expected, and the overall tone was a sedated black.
Luo Lingsheng sat at the desk, bowing his head. It was unknown what document he was examining and approving, but his eyebrows were furrowed, all of which showcased intimidating pressure.
He had changed into a pair of unremarkable black filament-framed glasses, but it unexpectedly set off his cold and stern facial features even more. The three-piece suit he wore outlined the proportions of his body to the extreme.
For Shi Yunnan, Luo Lingsheng was a superior person who could form a deadly aggression by his appearance.
Perhaps sensing the excessive staring at the entrance, Luo Lingsheng raised his eyes with unpleasant resistance, “Who let you in…”
It seemed he was about to issue a warning but stopped after saying only four words.
Luo Lingsheng’s brows subconsciously loosened. Staring at the person who suddenly appeared at the door of the office, his cold and sharp temperament suddenly eased.
“Busy? I’m not here at the right time?”
Shi Yunnan said apologetic words, but his feet walked toward the table without any hesitation.
Luo Lingsheng hadn’t finished reading the document he was going to use in the meeting later, but he closed it and replied without changing his expression, “I’m not busy.”
Shi Yunnan stopped at the table, “What did Luo Dexing and his wife come to see you for? Is it to plead for Luo Yanchuan?”
“They didn’t mention Luo Yanchuan the whole time, they only said they wanted to retire when they were older, and wanted to transfer 5% of their shares to me.”
Luo Lingsheng had a contemplating look when he talked about it, and it was mixed with a trace of not-so-serious contempt.
Shi Yunnan reacted, “They are using this bargaining chip to let you spare Luo Yanchuan this time? What do you think?”
“Do you know how much Luo’s five percent share is worth?”
Luo Lingsheng remembered the hellish ‘fight’ that year, and his pupils were vaguely flooded with hostility.
Back then, the main house and the third house could compete for even 1% of the shares. Behind the scenes, there was no telling how many schemes they had plotted.
Only the husband and wife of the second house played it safe and kept themselves from troubles by living like a shrinking turtle. Now they were willing to take out nearly half of the shares at once in order to protect Luo Yanchuan.
No one really knew whether the couple was eager to protect their beloved son, or they were too afraid of Luo Lingsheng’s cruel means.
“Compared to Luo Yanchuan’s small loss in the cosmetics industry, this share was like a piece of fat meat.”
Originally, these shares should have been left for Luo Yanchuan, their only son, but now they had to transfer it to Luo Lingsheng unconditionally.
If Luo Yanchuan knew about this, he would have been angry enough to vomit blood. Not only that, he had to be more prepared than ever for Luo Lingsheng’s oppression.
The psychological lesson was the most tormenting.
Luo Lingsheng was like a hunter who had already taken control of the situation, letting the prey throw mischief within his controllable range.
He was always standing high waiting till his prey thought it was safe to try crossing the line, then he would ruthlessly kill it in his own territory.
Shi Yunnan realized that Luo Lingsheng had his own plans, so he didn’t say anything against it for the time being——after all, compared to the plot development in the original story, today’s Luo Lingsheng had already taken precautions early.
Luo Lingsheng looked at him and changed the subject, “What are you doing here?”
“Can’t I just come to see you?”
Shi Yunnan detoured most of the long table, stopped and bent down for Luo Lingsheng as always, saying, “If I didn’t come here, how would I know that Mr. Luo’s female secretary is so beautiful? She also speaks softly and is particularly pleasing to the eyes.”
“Oh? You think so?”
Luo Lingsheng took off his glasses, his lips curved slightly, “I forgot to tell you…”
“Whether it’s Miss Lou or the secretary, second young master Shi doesn’t have to use them to test me. I’m not interested in women.”
Is he confessing his sexual orientation?
Shi Yunnan obviously didn’t expect to get this answer. After a slight paused, he happily responded——
“What a coincidence, neither am I.”
Shi Yunnan glanced at the watch on Luo Lingsheng’s wrist, and his smile became more obvious, “Luo Lingsheng, I’m here to report to you.”
The female secretary said that Luo Lingsheng would have an international conference in fifteen minutes. Shi Yunnan was not a clingy person who would disturb other people’s work, so she simply mentioned the purpose of coming here.
Luo Lingsheng asked, “Report?”
“The nightclub I invested in and cooperated with Fu Ziyu has been in trial operation for almost a month now. I was too busy a while ago and couldn’t find a suitable time to go.”
“Tonight I want to go check out the situation. I will definitely drink less and won’t ever mess around.”
Shi Yunnan leaned a little closer, with a smiling tone that was affectionate and provocative.
“Husband, will you let me go?”
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng’s breathing was tightened. He didn’t expect Shi Yunnan to actually remember his previous promise and mistake.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Shi Yunnan added, “Or do you want to accompany me? I’d be happy to have you personally supervise me.”
Luo Lingsheng looked at the thin lips that were close at hand, and when he regained his breathing rhythm, he moved a little closer, and their breath became entangled.
“So well-behaved?”
Three simple words, the low voice was pressed in the throat, there was an indescribable sexiness and…
desire.
In the end, Shi Yunnan was the first to lose. He felt his heartbeat start to accelerate and quickly moved a little further away, but his speech started to be out of tune.
“Of course, there are not many partners under the sky who are as well-behaved as I am. Mr. Luo must treat me better, so others won’t be envious.”
Luo Lingsheng let out a short chuckle without any objection, “Go ahead, I’ll be busy in a while.”
The implication was that he definitely didn’t intend to accompany Shi Yunnan to the nightclub.
Shi Yunnan got the expected answer, and while he secretly calmed his heartbeat, he also felt an indescribable sense of loss. Before he could understand this inexplicable emotion, he heard Luo Lingsheng add:
“Give me the address of the nightclub. I’ll pick you up later when I finish my work.”
