Hong Kong, Shallow Bay, located on the southern side of Taiping Mountain on Xiangjiang Island, nestled along the mountains and sea. The bay is crescent-shaped and is known as "the world's number one bay," also famed as the "Oriental Hawaii," representing the most iconic bay in Hong Kong.
At the same time, the villas here at Shallow Bay are also the best luxury residences in all of Hong Kong. Everyone who can reside in a villa at Shallow Bay is either wealthy or noble!
The Fang family is considered a prominent clan in Hong Kong, so naturally, they own a villa at Shallow Bay!
Inside the villa, Fang Zhilan originally intended to have a deeper acquaintance with a certain celebrity known as the Jade Maiden, but the phone call from Shu Mengjun instantly dissipated Fang Zhilan's inner desires. He even lightly tapped the celebrity's upturned backside, signaling her to leave.
The celebrity pouted discontentedly, the desire in her eyes burning like fire yet not extinguished. However, seeing Fang Zhilan's gaze gradually turn cold, she dared not defy him, obediently put on her clothes, and quietly left the bedroom.
Fang Zhilan is a big shot in the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle, speaking with authority. Deciding the fate of a star is remarkably easy for him.
For anyone wanting to thrive in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, pleasing Fang Zhilan is a common knowledge.
Thus, seeing Fang Zhilan's gaze turning increasingly cold, the celebrity promptly walked out obediently.
After the celebrity left, Fang Zhilan slowly picked up the phone and dialed Dongfang Shu's number.
Though Fang Zhilan had never met Dongfang Shu in person, he had seen her several times in videos and had to admit this widow was indeed charming.
Yet Fang Zhilan knew this woman, despite her beauty and appeal, was a thorny rose, possibly a femme fatale, biting you once, leading to death or harm!
Fang Zhilan also understood how Dongfang Shu attained her position, admiring her methods greatly.
Fang Zhilan had seen Dongfang Shu in videos mainly because they had some business dealings and interactions!
After all, their circle is small. Though they might not know each other personally, they surely are aware of each other's existence. Finding one another, even if unfamiliar, is just a matter of making another phone call!
Jiangzhong City, Xiangzhang Mansion!
Dongfang Shu had just taken a bath and was lying in bed when the phone beside her suddenly rang.
Startled by the vibrating sound of the phone, Dongfang Shu, with a hint of doubt, slowly picked up the phone. Upon seeing the number displayed, her brows knitted slightly!
What's Fang Zhilan calling for?
Though Dongfang Shu and Fang Zhilan knew each other and had some cooperation, they rarely connected. Now, Fang Zhilan suddenly calls, making Dongfang Shu puzzled as to his intentions!
Nevertheless, Dongfang Shu answered the call!
"Miss Dongfang, calling you this late disturbs your rest, many apologies!" Fang Zhilan didn't dare act high-handedly with Dongfang Shu, realizing he needed her help with a matter now!
If he adopted a lofty attitude, would Dongfang Shu help him?
In seeking help, one must display humility, a fact Fang Zhilan grasped as a teenager!
"It's nothing, I usually sleep late!" Dongfang Shu said lightly, "What matter brings you to call me so late, Mr. Fang?"
As they say, one doesn't visit the temple for nothing; Dongfang Shu didn't believe Fang Zhilan had called merely for a chat!
"Miss Dongfang, I have a matter requiring your assistance!" Fang Zhilan hesitated briefly, ultimately choosing to speak frankly!
"You're too kind, Mr. Fang. If there's anything I can help with, feel free to mention it!"
"It's about my son who has disappointed me!"
Fang Wenbai is Fang Zhilan's son, well known to Dongfang Shu, and she knew about Fang Wenbai hosting a concert in Jiangzhong City.
Yet reportedly, the concert was very successful. She hadn't heard of Fang Wenbai causing any trouble!
Dongfang Shu found herself brimming with intrigue.
"Yes, that's the ungrateful child!" Fang Zhilan said helplessly, "After the concert ended, he, full of himself, hosted a celebration banquet and invited many..."
Upon hearing Fang Zhilan's words, Dongfang Shu's brows knitted again: "Did something happen at the banquet?"
"It's embarrassing to talk about!" Fang Zhilan said with immense shame, "Miss Dongfang, you must know how impure the entertainment circle is..."
Not only Dongfang Shu knows about the murkiness in the entertainment sphere, everyone knows it's a mess!
"Wenbai carries prestige abroad, in Hong Kong, I can protect him fully, but outside of Hong Kong, it's uncertain who might disregard my influence." Fang Zhilan spoke softly, "This time, some unknown deity played a trick at Wenbai's celebration banquet, drugging Wenbai's drinks..."
Dongfang Shu was taken aback.
Someone drugged Fang Wenbai's drinks?
How is that even possible!
Considering Fang Zhilan's influential standing in the entertainment circle, even beyond Hong Kong, others would likely respect him, not treat Fang Wenbai poorly, right?
"Mr. Fang, what about young Fang anyway..."
"He's physically fine but caused an immense scandal!" Fang Zhilan sighed in resignation, "I'm ashamed to speak of it!"
Dongfang Shu remained silent, knowing Fang Zhilan would certainly explain.
Exactly as Dongfang Shu expected, Fang Zhilan soon continued: "Someone spiked his drinks with some aphrodisiac, leading Wenbai to fall into others' schemes, actually pinning a female celebrity to the ground during the banquet..."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Shu's lips gently curved into a subtle smile.
She seemingly had already guessed what Fang Zhilan wanted her to do. Read full story at novel✶fire.net
"So, Mr. Fang means...?"
"Miss Dongfang, you realize that if this scandal leaks, even if Wenbai is innocent, his career would be over." Fang Zhilan said resignedly yet fiercely, "I'm hoping Miss Dongfang could warn those celebrities and directors present at the banquet!"
"Mr. Fang, I can agree to that; however, if there were other attendees at the banquet, I might not be able to warn them!"
Dongfang Shu didn't mull over it much, finding it relatively straightforward; just a matter of a few words.
Yet what Dongfang Shu didn't know was that Ye Xunhuan was involved. Otherwise, she might not have agreed so readily.
No matter, Dongfang Shu's warning wouldn't conflict with Ye Xunhuan, as Fang Zhilan only sought warnings for the celebrities and directors!
"I understand. As long as Miss Dongfang handles the celebrities and directors, I'll take care of the rest!"
"Alright. Mr. Fang, please send me the list of those people!"
"Miss Dongfang, setting aside other concerns, I, Fang Zhilan, will remember this favor!"
