In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Kyoto, a slender figure stumbled out, holding a bloodstained high heel in her right hand. The girl's exquisite and beautiful face showed no panic; instead, her eyes held a hint of triumphant satisfaction at her "scheme" succeeding.
Seconds later, the door opened again, and a roar came out: "Luo Shimiao, you bitch, it seems you really don't want to work in the entertainment industry anymore. If I catch you, I'll make you wish you were dead."
As Luo Shimiao ran, she looked back at the fat man clutching his thigh: "Hey~ Director Ding, aren't you dizzy from losing so much blood? Oh right, the last person who tried to take advantage of me is still in the hospital."
"I've already had all the exits blocked. Do you think you can escape?" Ding Zhou's eyes hardened, a sinister smile appearing on his lips, as he clutched his wound and chased after them.
Luo Shimiao narrowed her eyes, quickly took off her other high heel, and ran towards the stairwell. After passing the corner of the corridor, she saw a door that was not closed properly. Hearing heavy footsteps behind her, she slipped into the room and gently closed the door.
Ding Zhou stared blankly at the empty stairwell. Seeing the stairwell not far away, he immediately took out his phone: "Keep an eye on all the exits. Luo Shimiao just ran down the stairs. Send a few people up here to search for her. Find that bitch even if you have to dig three feet into the ground."
This was a premeditated scheme involving unspoken rules. Luo Shimiao had previously offended a producer with considerable influence in the entertainment industry by refusing such a scheme.
Just a few days after the incident, a large number of false and negative stories about Luo Shimiao surfaced online, such as plastic surgery before her debut, being kept by a sugar daddy in college, and being a mistress.
Luo Shimiao was instantly attacked online, and even the company's statement had no effect, as netizens simply did not believe it.
Now, two months have passed, and Luo Shimiao has not received a single announcement in these two months.
Just yesterday, her agent, Luo Min, said that there was a web series that wanted her to play the role of the third female lead.
Luo Shimiao found it unbelievable that she, who was universally disliked online, could still get acting roles.
At the time, they joked that there might be something fishy going on, but later the agent said that it was Jin Hongxuan who recommended him, which dispelled their doubts.
Jin Hongxuan is a top-tier celebrity and belongs to the same company as Luo Shimiao.
In the year since she entered the industry, he has taken good care of her, introducing her to several roles in small web dramas. He is handsome and has a gentle and considerate personality. Who wouldn't like a man like that? Luo Shimiao is no exception.
In the chaotic entertainment industry, besides his agent Luo Min, Luo Shimiao trusts Jin Hongxuan the most.
To her surprise, this man colluded with the director at the dinner party that night, drugging her drink while she went to the restroom.
If she hadn't forgotten to bring tissues and hadn't turned back halfway to see it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the usually gentle and refined man in front of her would drug her drink.
Jin Hongxuan's image in her heart shattered instantly, and her affection for him turned into hatred.
Luo Shimiao pretended not to see it and decided to play along. Since they wanted to play, she would play along.
"who?"
Leaning against the wall, she closed her eyes and recalled the events of the night. Suddenly, a sharp, cold shout rang out in the dim light, breaking her thoughts.
Luo Shimiao suddenly opened her eyes. There was someone in the room? And it was a man. Could it be that she had just escaped one danger only to fall into another?
My hand reached along the wall to the light switch, and with a snap, the dim room was bathed in white light.
Following the sound, she saw a man sitting on a sofa not far ahead. Her gaze fell on the man's face, and she couldn't help but catch her breath. To be honest, he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, even more handsome than her third brother.
With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his facial features were clean and sharp, his nose was high and straight with a mole on it, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with a strong coldness. His thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he was enduring something.
Luo Shimiao looked away from the man's face and coughed awkwardly.
Pointing to the door, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come in. There were bad guys chasing me outside, and when I saw the door was open, I hid inside in a panic."
The man kept his eyes fixed on Luo Shimiao, not letting his guard down because of her words.
"I'll leave as soon as they're gone. Sir, please do me a favor; saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If you don't agree, I'll leave right now." Luo Shimiao gripped the doorknob, ready to leave as soon as the man said no.
The man on the sofa glanced at the high heels in Luo Shimiao's hand, then coldly turned his head to the side.
Luo Shimiao waited for a while, but the man didn't speak, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She would take his silence as agreement.
They stood in the entryway for about seven or eight minutes, during which no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Luo Shimiao glanced at the man from time to time, not because he was good-looking, but because the man was acting strangely; his face was getting redder and his breathing was getting heavier.
This state looks like...
She slowly took a few steps forward and cautiously asked, "Were you drugged?"
The man raised an eyebrow, looking at Luo Shimiao with surprise.
"I almost fell for it tonight too, but luckily I was quick-witted," Luo Shimiao said, taking a few more steps forward.
Gu Nian watched the girl approach slowly and said coldly, "Since you know that, why are you still getting closer? I'm not some kind of gentleman."
She threw her high heels on the ground and said, "I'm thirsty, I want to drink water."
After saying that, he stopped being timid and strode towards the water dispenser, picked up a disposable cup next to him, filled it to the brim, and drank it all in one go.
Luo Shimiao glanced at the man's bulging veins from enduring the pain and said, "You've been drugged, so you need to drink plenty of water or go to the hospital immediately. You can't just endure it like this."
