Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio

Gu Shaoting’s simple words made everyone shudder.

His voice was like ice, so cold that it made people shiver.

Mr. Zhang replied quickly, “Leave it with me, CEO Gu. I will definitely find out who did this.”

Director Wang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He patted himself on the back for his decision to inform Mr. Zhang when things got out of hand. This was, after all, about the CEO’s private life. It wasn’t his place to intervene.

It was best dealt with by the person in question.

Investigate thoroughly?

Everyone in the room was scared when they heard that. The expressions they wore when mocking Shu Pan vanished completely.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, worried that they would be implicated.

“Let me reiterate my point. If anyone dares to make things difficult for Shu Pan, they are making things difficult for me and I won’t let them off.”

Gu Shaoting’s words were sonorous and forceful, and everyone felt even more apprehensive. They couldn’t help but decide that they must never offend Shu Pan in the future.

Shu Pan pursed her lips and finally looked up at Gu Shaoting. She looked at him quietly, intending to smile, but tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Gu Shaoting’s heart wrenched when he saw her tears. He lowered his head to kiss away her tears, but she cried even harder. It took a long time before she stopped crying.

Shu Pan’s heart felt warm. Her heart was at ease now and she no longer felt helpless.

It felt good to have someone to lean on.

“Silly girl, you always have me. Don’t be afraid of anything.” Gu Shaoting caressed her hair.

He then looked up and scanned everyone in the room, his gaze cold and terrifying.

MO Lan saw that things were going awry and wanted to hide in the crowd.

“Miss, you hurt my precious. Do you think this is the end of it?” Gu Shaoting’s voice made MO Lan’s heart jump to her throat.

“CEO Gu, Shu Pan hit me first. You can ask the people here. I’m also a victim…” MO Lan tried to argue with a pitiful look on her face. But when she met Gu Shaoting’s cold eyes, she was so scared that she quickly shut up.

“You must have provoked Shu Pan. So what if she hit you?” Gu Shaoting knew Shu Pan very well. She was the kind of person who wouldn’t attack unless she was attacked first.

Moreover, the other person must have gone overboard and pushed her over the edge.

“Did you make the video?” Gu Shaoting suddenly thought of this point. Why else would Shu Pan lose it?

MO Lan looked at him timidly and didn’t say anything for fear of making things worse because Mr. Zhang would find out eventually.

“Mr. Zhang, I won’t allow the person who hurt Shu Pan to remain in the company. And I’ll take legal actions against those who slandered her.” Gu Shaoting’s words were like a death sentence for MO Lan.

She was dumbstruck. Had she been fired from her job? Then all her efforts over the years would be in vain. Would she still be able to survive in this industry in the future?

After MO Lan realized what happened, she tugged at Gu Shaoting’s sleeve and begged, “CEO Gu, please don’t fire me. I won’t do it again.”

Gu Shaoting looked at her coldly before he flung her hand away. MO Lan fell to the ground again.

She looked even worse with this fall. Her face was covered in tears and snot, and her makeup was ruined. She looked awful.

Seeing that Gu Shaoting was unmoved, MO Lan tugged at Shu Pan’s pant leg. “Shu Pan, I will never argue with you again. Please persuade the CEO not to fire me. I’ve worked hard all these years to get to where I am. Please… I beg you.” MO Lan said in tears..
