Chapter 489 Overheard
After the dinner, Li You returned to the top floor of the Golden Gate Hotel, where someone was already waiting.
When he pushed open the door, a faint scent of jasmine hit him in the face. The air near the bathroom was filled with water vapor from the bath, mixed with the lingering scent of women's usual perfume.
Li You looked at the woman in the living room of the suite with interest.
She had obviously taken a shower, as her wet hair on both sides was smoothly draped over her shoulders, with some water droplets still remaining between the strands.
She casually half-tied up her hair at the back with a white ribbon, and a few strands of soft hair gently fell on her fair cheeks and swan neck.
Because of the drama My Sassy Girl, women nowadays are taking the route of the domineering queen in the entertainment industry.
However, the royal sister makeup she had worn at the dinner party had been changed. Now her face no longer had the sharp edge of the cold and beautiful makeup just now, and it looked more like an undecorated sketch.
The woman was sitting quietly on the leather sofa in the living room, her slender body sunk into the soft leather.
She was wearing a black silk nightgown. The silk texture glowed softly under the light of a circle of yellow lights on the ceiling. A small patch of snow-white was revealed at the neckline of the nightgown. The hem of the skirt fell just above her knees, not appearing revealing, yet maintaining just the right amount of elegance.
The woman who had just finished taking a shower had bare legs and was not wearing stockings. Her skin looked white and delicate under the light.
After hearing the noise, the woman quickly stood up and greeted Li You a little stiffly, "President Nim."
"Sit down first," Li You waved his hand, "I just have something to ask you."
There is a cup of steaming floral tea on the coffee table. The light tea fragrance blends perfectly with the freshness after bathing.
Li You glanced at the scented tea on the table, and without him saying anything, the woman quickly poured another cup for him.
Li You held the tea and his eyes swept over her calmly.
The woman noticed Li You's gaze, gently adjusted the hem of her skirt, and gathered her scattered hair.
Her movements seemed natural, but they revealed a subtle hint of deliberateness.
"Jun Ji-hyunxi," Li You lazily took a sip of tea, "You and your boss don't seem to have a good relationship?"
After the dinner that ended earlier, although the representative of Sidus Records named Cha Seung-jae was full of respect, Jun Ji-hyun, who was brought by him, looked a little annoyed every time she looked at him.
"." Jun Ji-hyun pursed her lips, nodded, and said with some difficulty, "Not only him, but also our president Zheng Xuntuo."
"Why?"
Seeing that Li You asked so clearly, a hint of surprise appeared on Jun Ji-hyun's face, which was originally suitable for a pitiful expression.
"They are all benefactors in my career," she said softly, "but we have some disagreements now."
"After My Sassy Girl became a big hit, I did become famous too, becoming a hit actress and advertising queen."
Looking at Li You's thoughtful expression, she lowered her head and said, "Because it's hard for me to get rid of the setting of the wild girlfriend now. This role is too classic and it limits my acting options."
"They got me a lot of advertising jobs, which made me earn a lot of money. I was busy shuttling between various advertising invitations every day."
Li You nodded. There really hasn't been any works in the past few years. If Jun Ji-hyun keeps taking advertisements like this, it will consume a lot of life for the character of "My Sassy Girl".
In recent years, Jun Ji-hyun has become a standard gossip on TV. Whenever a TV series is broadcast, her advertisements will appear.
This excessive advertising does have a very negative effect.
It will also gradually erode the favorability that the character brings to the audience. Is Jeon Ji-hyun an actor or a celebrity artist who makes a living by advertising? In the eyes of the people of the Korean Peninsula, these two are completely different professions.
Although advertising revenue was booming, Jun Ji-hyun entered a low period in her career and stayed there for several years.
"I want to change because this is not the 'red' I want."
Jun Ji-hyun hugged her legs in disappointment, with the whiteness of her chest pressed against her legs, making her already perfect legs look even more beautiful. She sat on the sofa in this pose, with her silky skirt slightly pulled back, making her posture even more seductive.
"In this year's release of 'Sisters in Law', the audience said that my acting was rigid and exactly the same as it was three years ago."
Li You was about to raise his hand when he remembered something.
As a person who came from the future, he remembered one thing about Jun Ji-hyun very clearly.
Li You frowned, "What's the situation with the rumors about you and Zheng Xuntuo? Wasn't there a rumor that you were going to get married at the beginning of this year?"
Jun Ji-hyun waved her hands in panic, "No, it didn't happen. I wanted to use this opportunity to hype up the movie, but in the end, many fans left and even the company's stock price fluctuated drastically. After we responded, it was nothing."
“But the agent did express something.”
Li You understood. He didn't believe that a company boss who personally served as the agent of his most popular artist didn't have some ulterior motives. He probably wanted to tie her to his chariot in this way.
You should know that before Jun Ji-hyun collaborated with Kim Soo-hyun in the future, she had never filmed a kissing scene with any male star in the Korean Peninsula.
Even the person she kissed for the first time on screen was Hollywood star Hugh Jackman several years later.
"So you had a conflict with them and were sent here by them?"
Jun Ji-hyun lowered her head, and after a long while, she nodded slightly with disappointment. She was also very nervous before coming here. After all, she is not even 24 years old this year, and she became very popular just a few years after her debut. This is also the first time she has encountered such a thing.
Li You sneered. She was indeed a very attractive woman, but before that, he had to check what he remembered.
"cell phone."
"What?" Jun Ji-hyun looked up in confusion.
"Your phone," Li You said, crossing his legs.
Li You was looking through his phone. He didn't say anything and the atmosphere in the suite began to become heavy.
A man and a woman sat opposite each other. Under the light, Jun Ji-hyun stared at Li You in front of her, checking his future phone.
She didn't know what was going on, she just remained silent, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes and a somewhat melancholy look on her face.
Li You raised his eyebrows, his eyes as sharp as a knife. He held Jun Ji-hyun's future second-generation mobile phone in his hand, and his fingertips slid quickly across the screen.
He was familiar with the administrator background of the future mobile phone. After finding what he wanted, Li You paused with a sneer on his face.
He gently put the phone to his lips and said in a cold voice, "You are very brave."
After saying that, Li You turned off his phone and threw it on the sofa.
He pulled the phone next to the sofa in the hotel and called Long Da.
"President Nim," Long Da Miao answered the phone, "What do you want me to do?"
"The woman sent here tonight has her phone tapped," Li You squinted his eyes. "The representative of this entertainment company is in Jeju Island. Let's arrest him first and have Quan Zaijun investigate and take control of all the people involved."
Long Da's thin face showed a hint of anger, and even more murderous intent, "Understood!"
After hanging up the phone, Li You put his hands on the armrests of the sofa and said, "I have participated in the development of future mobile phones. The traces of monitoring on your phone are too obvious."
Jun Ji-hyun's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes trembled slightly. She tried to find a little comfort in Li You's eyes, but only got a deeper chill.
"Chairman Nim" Jun Ji-hyun felt the chill from the bottom of her heart, "I... I don't know."
"They monitored all your communications," Li You's voice was calm, but the weight of his words was enough to freeze the air in the room.
Jun Ji-hyun's fingers unconsciously grasped the hem of her skirt that had slipped down to her thighs. Her lips opened slightly, but no sound came out.
This means that all her secrets, including what she had just said to Li You, have been exposed to the ears of the eavesdropper.
"So. So it's the president and others?" Jun Ji-hyun said with some difficulty.
Although she had conflicts with them, she always felt that they, especially the president Zheng Xuntuo, were the first benefactors in her acting career.
It is precisely because of this gratitude and trust that Jun Ji-hyun transferred her agency contract to SidusHQ.
The clock in the room is ticking, also counting the fate of some people.
Li You's eyes swept across the aggrieved and distraught woman's face, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "This is not your business now."
He twisted his neck and drank up the tea on the table. "If I hadn't noticed tonight, they would have heard everything that happened between us."
Li You's eyes flashed with coldness, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Jun Ji-hyun buried her face between her knees and responded weakly.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but she felt wronged no matter how she thought about it.
Ten minutes later, Yong Dae knocked on Li You's door himself. Li You stood up and looked down at Jun Ji Hyun, then patted her head and said, "Wait here first."
After he left, Long Dazheng bowed 90 degrees and waited for him, "President Nim! It's my fault!"
"It's none of your business," Li You waved his hand, and Long Da immediately stepped forward to help him light a cigarette, "Did you catch the person?"
"We've caught them," Long Dae stood aside with his head still lowered. "All the people from this entertainment company in Jeju Island have been caught. The leader, Cha Seung Jae, was intercepted by us on the way to the airport."
Li You exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Let's go and check out these people."
On a dark and windy night in Jeju Island, there are shadowy figures on an undeveloped coast.
Long Dazheng waved his hand and directed several members of Kinmen Security to throw three sacks tied with large stones into the sea. The sacks were sealed tightly, and not only were there many shadows on the sacks, but they were also covered with blood.
Li You sat on the front of the car, blowing out smoke rings, and watched indifferently as the three sacks sank quickly. The ripples on the sea surface quickly became smaller until there was no sound anymore.
These three people died in a few short moments without any trial.
It doesn't matter whether they know about it or not.
Cha Seung-jae, who had been smiling broadly in front of Lee Woo at the dinner, now looks extremely pitiful.
One of his legs was broken in a car accident when he was intercepted, and it was simply bandaged with clothes. There were also many abrasions and bruises on his body.
Cha Seung Jae, with a bruised face and nose, knelt down at Lee Woo's feet, trembling, "Chairman. Chairman nim."
Che Shengzai kept begging Li You, "I really don't know. The president just called me tonight to tell me. I really don't know. I don't have the courage."
At this point, it doesn't make any sense to interrogate him or not, because he followed the wrong boss.
A cold wind continued to blow off the coast of Jeju Island at midnight, and the sound of waves was getting louder. The waves washed past, washing away Cha Seung-jae's pleading cries.
Long Dae walked up to Li You and kicked Che Shengzai in the face without any sympathy. He waved his hand and said, "President. He is the last one."
There are eleven people in total from this company who came to Jeju Island, and they have all gone snorkeling.
"Long Da," Li You asked calmly, "Do you think they are here to eavesdrop on me on purpose?"
"Do you want to create a hidden rule or eavesdropping gate on me?"
Yongdae lowered his head and didn't look at Cha Seungjae who was wearing a sack-style swimsuit, "I don't think they dare."
“Whether they dare or not,” Li You exhaled the last puff of cigarette and threw the butt on the beach, “They have already done it.”
"They monitored me 24 hours a day, and even though they knew they were going to send Jun Ji-hyun to my bed, they still didn't take her phone away."
"It can be seen that although I have supported many politicians in the past two years and have been quietly developing white-collar businesses, many people have forgotten what we did in the beginning."
Li You looked at the last sack like water and said calmly, "Start investigating from now on, how did the people from this company get into the dinner, and what were they doing in Jeju Island? Arrest and interrogate the officials involved, and let them die if they can't explain clearly."
"The interests of Jeju Island are too big to be involved, and there are always many hands that shouldn't be involved," Li You smiled disdainfully, "Using this as an excuse, we are going to clean up Jeju Island. Do you understand?"
"Understood," Long Da gritted his teeth, "I will never let anyone involved go."
Li You returned to the hotel, pushed open the door, and saw Jun Ji-hyun lying on the sofa, already half asleep.
There were boxes and wine glasses scattered on the coffee table, and next to it was a bottle of red wine. There was only a thin layer of liquid left in the bottle. She had almost finished the whole bottle in more than an hour.
Jun Ji-hyun's face lay on her arm, her light makeup looked a little messy under the light, and even the corners of her eyes were red, with traces of tears not completely dried yet.
She was still wearing the black silk nightgown. The soft fabric fit her slender body and outlined her charming curves.
Jun Ji-hyun was holding a wine glass in her hand, and some of the wine spilled onto her chest, adding some color to the snow-white color.
Li You sat on the sofa opposite her, and the slight movement woke her up.
"President Nim, you're back," Jun Ji-hyun lowered her head and looked at herself. She knew her condition without even looking. She had the urge to cover her face.
"I'll go change my clothes," she stood up gracefully, her slender waist swaying slightly, but the clicking sound of her slippers on the floor was very rapid.
Jun Ji-hyun first trotted to the bathroom, and two minutes later came out wrapped in a bathrobe and pulled the suitcase in.
Not long after, after taking a bath, Jun Ji-hyun reappeared in the living room. At this moment, she changed into a creamy white nightgown, and ultra-thin black stockings were tightly attached to her legs.
Jun Ji-hyun sat back on the sofa, her legs wrapped in stockings crossed together, and her toes in slippers trying hard to hold on to the slippers.
But soon she felt something was wrong, so she stood up awkwardly and sat next to Li You.
"President Nim," Jun Ji-hyun said softly after hesitating for a while, "What will happen to them?"
Li You naturally embraced her, "Guess?"
