After completely breaking ties with Su Fengxi, the president's office on the top floor of Starlight Entertainment's headquarters became busier than ever. Elite personnel such as company executives, public relations managers, publicity managers, security managers, legal teams, and accounting teams were shuttling back and forth, all with one goal in mind: to drive Su Fengxi to a dead end.
"Mr. Zhao, here's the lawsuit. Please take a look." The chief lawyer of Starlight Entertainment passed a document to Zhao Wenyan.
Zhao Wenyan carefully read through it line by line, made some modifications, and then signed his name.
The chief lawyer, still feeling uneasy, inquired, "Are you sure you want to sue Miss Su Fengxi?"
"Absolutely sure. If you think I shouldn't sue, then our cooperation must be terminated immediately," Zhao Wenyan said firmly, staring tightly at the chief lawyer's face.
He knew just how bizarre Su Fengxi's charm was, so he had to be on high alert. Over the past five years, he had witnessed firsthand Su Fengxi's rise and glory, as well as her incredible flirting ability. It was not an exaggeration to say that as long as she set her sights on a man, no one could resist her. What's even more unsettling is that even those men, no matter how high their status or proud their temperament, would become submissive and tolerant of her promiscuity and infidelity after spending time with Su Fengxi.
This was clearly abnormal, but none of those around Su Fengxi had noticed it, which was very frightening.
Zhao Wenyan dared not say for certain that there were no hidden traps set by Su Fengxi in the company, so he maintained a high level of vigilance and suspicion against all men. He was grateful that Su Fengxi showed no interest in women, otherwise, all the male and female employees around him would have to be thoroughly screened!
The chief lawyer was quite adept at reading people's expressions, so he immediately explained, "I'm just worried about whether Mr. Zhao, after all, has deep emotional ties with Miss Su. You must understand that once the lawsuit is filed, it's too late to retract."
"I will never back down," Zhao Wenyan said decisively.
"Alright, I will handle the litigation. We have solid evidence in this case, we have a one hundred percent chance of winning. Mr. Zhao, please wait for my good news." The chief lawyer said, bowing slightly to Zhao Wenyan before leaving with a stack of documents.
Zhao Wenyan led his grandfather to the meeting room, where he saw Fangelo half-leaning on a soft armchair, seemingly already asleep. The bright sunlight streamed onto his fair face, making his skin appear almost translucent. Whether it was an illusion or not, after absorbing so much negative energy, Fangelo's complexion didn't appear pale, but rather healthier. The chaos and entanglements from before seemed to have been forgotten by him, and he only remembered the peace and tranquility in the moment.
Looking at Fangelo's calm face, Zhao Wenyan's emotions churned, and his cheeks slowly grew warm. Thinking of the harm Fangelo suffered in the online violence and his own helplessness, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
He pointed at Fangelo and then raised his index finger to his grandfather, saying in a barely audible voice, "I'll explain to you after he wakes up."
"I wasn't asleep." Fangelo had opened his eyes at some point and was now looking at the two men.
"Not under a spell, not under a curse, not a ghost, it's an enchantment. Those affected by the spell will be wholeheartedly devoted to Su Fengxi, and only those with exceptionally strong willpower can resist her attraction. Luckily, your willpower is stronger than most, so among the men around her, you are occasionally able to break free of her control and remain clear-headed. However, watching yourself head towards destruction with clarity is your greatest misfortune." Fangelo revealed everything he knew without waiting for Zhao Wenyan to ask.
He glanced at Zhao Wenyan's speechless grandfather and continued, "My abilities are still weak and not enough to completely help you break free from her, so you must stop meeting her. Your previous decision was very wise, and your bodyguards should accompany you for twenty-four hours. If you are forced to meet her, remember not to look into her eyes, and then leave within five minutes. This is the extent of the help I can provide you for now. Our agreement..."
Zhao Wenyan was worried that he wouldn't have another chance to repair his relationship with Fangelo, so he hurriedly interrupted, "I'll take care of it immediately!" He instructed the finance team to transfer eighty million to the company account, specifically stating that it was the penalty fee owed by Fangelo, a meager amount compared to the ten billion.
Fangelo was very satisfied with the results of this trip, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Grandfather Zhao had yet to digest this huge amount of information and saw his grandson and Fangelo leaving the office and heading to the parking lot.
"Wait!" The old man suddenly realized and asked anxiously, "You have been taking medication for five years, has it affected your health?" Other issues could be discussed later when they got home, but his grandson's health was of utmost importance.
Zhao Wenyan turned around and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I've been taking the medicine as instructed by the doctor. I just need to stop for a while to recover. I'm taking Fangelo home now, so you can go back first, and we'll talk about it tonight."
"Yes, that's the feeling. If he also gave me a three-minute prophecy, I'm afraid I couldn't handle it!" Yang Shengfei was moved, and there was a hint of supplication in his gaze as he looked at Zhuang Zhen.
Zhuang Zhen said firmly, "Xiaofei, I know you want to prove to me that Fan Galo is indeed a medium, but I prefer to trust my own judgment. These days, I have also checked a lot of information. Do you know the success rate of cases involving mediums in the world?"
Yang Shengfei eagerly asked, "How much is it?"
"Less than 1%. In other words, there's no scientific or factual basis for mediums helping solve cases. If we hand your sister's case over to Fan Galo without verifying anything, can you guarantee that he won't lead us to a more remote path and let the truth be completely obliterated? My opinion is that we should investigate the case first, and if we can't find any clues, then seek his help. What do you think?"
Yang Shengfei fell silent. His sister's murder was a wound that would never heal for their family, whether the person was alive or dead. He had suffered greatly because of it, and now he couldn't wait a single minute longer. But reason told him that the captain was right. Only desperate people seek help from spirits and gods, but his sister's case was not yet at such a desperate stage. If he didn't put in any effort, he would indeed feel unwilling.
"Okay, let's investigate the case first. If we have no other choice, then we can turn to Fan Galo!" he finally nodded.
Zhuang Zhen sighed with relief, thanked the East City branch repeatedly, and then booked train tickets to the desert in the north.
At the same time, Zhao Wenyi dropped Fan Galo off at the entrance of Moon Bay community, only to find a tall and elegant man already waiting there. Several strong bodyguards were holding heavy metal password boxes, creating a grand scene.
As the car approached, Zhao Wenyi carefully looked at the man with raised eyebrows. This person turned out to be the tycoon Bai Mu, who recently acquired two medium-sized enterprises in the market. Who was he waiting for? Were those boxes full of money?
