Although feeling anxious, Huang Zihe seized the opportunity and, avoiding Lin Xiang and the prince, dialed the number.
Sure enough, the phone rang, and soon Jolie's voice came through the receiver.
She let out a cheerful laugh, "I didn't expect you to call back so quickly!"
"Get to the point; I don't have time for small talk!" Huang Zihe said in a low voice.
Hearing the emotion in Huang Zihe's tone, Jolie remained unhurried. "Straightforward, I think our alliance should take action next!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Huang Zihe deliberately lowered his voice, which sounded particularly seductive through the receiver to Jolie's ears.
She wanted to indulge in it but quickly regained her composure. "Alright, I won't beat around the bush. I hope you can help me seduce a woman named Erin!"
Liu Jian was indeed charming and handsome, but he paled in comparison to Huang Zihe. Moreover, being with Liu Jian would only make people think she was after a wealthy man. With Huang Zihe's status, he could easily make Erin famous throughout Taiwan with just a snap of his fingers.
Jolie was confident that Erin wouldn't be able to resist such temptation. As long as she captured a hint of flirtation between Huang Zihe and Erin, she could take advantage of it to defeat Erin and reclaim Liu Jian.
In Jolie's eyes, if Autumn Wind's combat power was 1 and the difficulty of destruction was 10, then Erin was exactly the opposite: combat power 10 and destruction difficulty 1. Not to mention that with someone as captivating as Huang Zihe involved, it would surely be devastating.
"Don't worry; as long as you help me get Erin away from Liu Jian, I guarantee that woman will completely disappear from your sight within a week!" Jolie said with a fierce expression. She thought of Wang Jiaru and recalled the scheme she had implemented on Qiu Hai back then. Although Qiu Hai did not die because of it, that disaster clearly devastated him; otherwise, how could he have become so cold?
"What do you think?" Jolie asked disdainfully.
She fully expected Huang Zihe to respond with a low cheer like last time. To her surprise, Huang Zihe's reaction was unusually quiet. "I'm sorry, Sister Jolie; I just want to focus on my own job... I don't understand your plans!"
"What do you mean? Have you forgotten our alliance? Hello!" Jolie was startled by Huang Zihe's cold tone and anxiously pressed for answers.
Huang Zihe took a deep breath. "The front line can end now; I will not participate in any of your future battles!" His tone was firm, allowing no room for doubt.
"You, Huang Zihe, listen to me. The battle lines have already been drawn, and the war has already begun. If you want to back out now, I can tell you clearly that there is no way back. I will give you two options: one is for you to go seduce that woman named Erin, and the other... heh heh, don't blame me for using another method to increase your exposure..." Jolie laughed loudly, her voice transmitted through the waves to Huang Zihe's ears, enough to truly damage his eardrums.
The man's pride prevented him from escaping. "Do whatever you want!"
"Good, Huang Zihe, just wait for me..." Jolie angrily hung up the phone, her fury boiling over. She picked up a leather bag beside her, opened it, and took out a metal box, her eyes gleaming with malice as she murmured, "Huang Zihe, just wait!"
Jolie acted quickly; by the next morning, before the signing event began, major media websites exploded with a recording of Huang Zihe and Jolie.
Aside from the ambiguous tone and vulgar language, the conversation involved a very important topic: an agreement reached between Jolie and Huang Zihe. Although the specific content was not mentioned, anyone who heard this recording would come to the conclusion that Jolie and Huang Zihe were reaching an agreement related to the wealthy Autumn Wind.
When Autumn Wind heard this recording, she was flipping through the diary that Huang Zihe had given her about Li Gu. Coincidentally, this diary, which she had long forgotten where she placed it, was inexplicably dug out by Oke from a corner of the room.
"Oh my goodness! How can this thing be eaten?" Autumn Wind exclaimed as she snatched the diary from Oke's mouth. "Fish, have you fed your son yet?" She pulled the diary out using her fingers and looked at Fish, who was sitting in front of her bed scrolling through his phone.
Just as her words fell, another voice rang out from Fish's phone—a dialogue between a man and a woman.
"You are really bad; how could you come up with such a vicious scheme!" "Heh heh, am I really bad? Isn't it excessive of you? Eliminating Autumn Wind has always been your plan, right?"
"Oh, Mr. Huang, how can you hate her so much? After all, Autumn Wind is considered your financial benefactor; why such animosity?" "That's something I don't need to tell you! But I believe she won't survive this year!"
"When do you plan to put the plan into action?" "Immediately!"...
Autumn Wind immediately recognized that this was a conversation between Jolie and Huang Zihe. When she heard her name from their mouths, her body involuntarily stiffened, especially at Huang Zihe's gritted teeth.
What are they planning? To eliminate me?
Sweat broke out on her back as she realized Jolie's hatred. What about Huang Zihe? He...
Her gaze shifted slowly to the black diary. Could it be because of Li Gu? Holding the diary in hand, she walked woodenly to the windowsill and gently flipped through it, carefully reading every word in the diary.
The fish gently called out the name of Autumn Wind, but there was no response. Picking up the rolling Oke on the ground, he quietly closed the door and walked out.
Autumn Wind sat by the window for an entire morning. After finishing the last page, his eyes were already dry and sore. He lifted his head, and tears fell from his eyes. He finally found the reason why Huang Zihe hated him—he must believe that Li Gu died because of him.
—I cannot let anyone hurt Autumn Wind; I would risk my life to protect her!
Autumn Wind lay on the bed in a daze, wondering what he had missed. Scenes from the past surged into his mind like two streams of heat, quickly connecting all events into a single line, filling his mind with a warm intensity.
The death of Shaolan, the suicide of Chen Shanni, and Li Gu's imprisonment—these were not mere "coincidences" that could be easily explained.
Uncle Liu's deep voice sounded at the door, "Sister, there is a guest here to see you!"
Autumn Wind slightly raised his head and asked softly, "Who is it?"
"A Korean; he handed over a business card saying he is the agent of y()."
Upon hearing this from Uncle Liu, Autumn Wind coughed lightly. Is it about 'Xiang'? He controlled his emotions and immediately guessed why he had come to see him. "I understand; I will go down right away!"
Hastily adjusting his attire and drying his tears with a tissue, he feigned calmness as he stepped downstairs. Standing at the staircase, Autumn Wind quickly spotted the anxious Korean Man, with Qiu Haiduan standing straight behind him.
Seeing Autumn Wind appear, the agent immediately stood up. When Autumn Wind approached him, he respectfully bowed deeply and spoke in a low voice.
Just as Hai was about to step forward to browse through something, Autumn Wind waved his hand to interrupt. "Just get to the point!"
Hai handed over documents to the agent. The agent bowed low and spoke for a long time before solemnly bowing to Autumn Wind. Hai immediately translated for Autumn Wind, "It's about Jolie and Ahe; we hope Sister Qiufeng can help out. Ahe has already been summoned by the police..."
At this point, Hai's tone was still normal, but he suddenly paused and switched to another tone. "I beg you, Sister Qiufeng! Please don’t stand by while someone is in danger! I know Ahe has been used by that woman! I beg you; just go tell the police that this is a misunderstanding... Ahe didn’t do anything..."
If it weren't for others around them, Hai would have likely reached out to grab Autumn Wind's arm.
"What kind of misunderstanding is this?" Autumn Wind did not think the situation was serious. She really wanted to just walk away, but the guilt she felt towards Li Gu pierced through her heart like a needle, so she glanced sideways at the sea.
"A video that only has sound without images; perhaps they were just reading a script, and coincidentally there is a woman in it named Autumn Wind," as soon as Hai finished speaking to Autumn Wind, he immediately turned to his manager to translate. After hearing what Hai said, the manager's eyes suddenly lit up, and he bent towards Autumn Wind at a ninety-degree angle: "????!"
Autumn Wind was taken aback. "A script? Who would believe that? I think you have made a mistake; you should be asking Jolie!" After saying that, Autumn Wind turned to go upstairs but was blocked by Hai, who stretched out his long arm in front of her.
Ah Wei and Ahe, who had been standing by the door, rushed over immediately. However, before they could reach Autumn Wind, her low voice sounded, "You all go down first!" She looked at Hai with a questioning gaze, "Do you have something to say?"
Hai suddenly knelt on the ground and hugged Autumn Wind's thigh. "I beg you, if something happens to Ahe, the whole thing will be over... Our record release event scheduled for today has already been postponed... I beg you, Sister Qiufeng, please save him!"
The living room fell silent in an instant; everyone's attention was focused on him. The hand gripping Autumn Wind's leg tightened slightly. "I beg you, please!"
Autumn Wind weakly looked down at Hai, took a deep breath, and nodded slightly. "Send me what I need to do via email!" After saying that, she strode upstairs.
Hai got up from the floor and relayed everything to his manager. After listening, the manager straightened up again and deeply bowed to Autumn Wind as she walked up the stairs.
Autumn Wind could never understand why Huang Zihe would take action against her in the recording. Had he really done something to her? Her mind raced as she tried to find any memory but couldn't recall anything at all.
