Late at night, James Fu came to the theatre to visit the team. But surprisingly, he wasn’t alone. Joey Xiao could feel the tension as he faced the two persons who just came in. He was breathing in the dark, deliberately ignoring everything that he sees and proceeded with the female colleague calmly. \"Uncle, I haven\'t seen you in a long time.\" Larry Lin nestled beside James Fu, as he greeted Joey Xiao. Joey Xiao was still immersed in the play at the moment, and it took him a few moments to register that Larry Lim had just greeted him. Hearing Larry Lin talking, he briefly glanced at him and continued watching the play. Larry Lin felt that Joey had deliberately embarrassed him for the public to see, and this made him furious. He wanted to attack Joey Xiao again, but he couldn’t, with James Fu around. This time, he must behave in front of James Fu. He had been very disappointed with Larry for beating up Joey Xiao
Despite Lawrence Chu’s dislike of James Fu, he still organized a welcome party after the play. He did this because James was the largest investor in the film industry at present. At the banquet, James Fu poured Joey glass after glass of wine. People saw what was happening, but nobody dared put a stop to it. While Lawrence Chu drank his share of wine, he also took Joey Xiao’s drinks given by James Fu. Halfway through his meal, he had fallen asleep. James Fu took that opportunity to call somebody to take Lawrence Chu away. Then he sat beside Joey and poured another glass of wine. \"Jimmy, you know I have a low tolerance for wine.\" Joey Xiao said in a soft tone, as they continued to eat their food. James Fu, still in a poor state of mind, laughed out loud when he heard Joey’s refusal. “What, Mr. Xiao refuses the wine I offer? Or, is there somebody trying to stop you from drinking?” Then, James Fu grabbed the chopst
Since getting rid of Larry Lin, Joey was able to work in peace. For about a month, nobody bothered him. Joey Xiao was very happy. He only ever saw Larry Lin and James Fu in media coverage of the venues they visited. Neither of them contacted him or bothered him in any way. After his new movie, Joey went straight to the capital Before he could get into the hospital, he was surrounded by a group of reporters. \"Mr. Xiao, are you gay?” \"Joey Xiao, it was reported that your first movie was the work of Director Chu? What was your relationship with director Lawrence Chu?\" “How did you come out of the scandal years ago?” The expression on Joey Xiao’s face was very neutral when he said, \"Sorry, I don\'t know what you\'re talking about.\" \"Mr. Xiao, you have been working with Lawrence Chu since the beginning of your career, what exactly is your relationship with--\" He interrupted the reporter.
“Why won’t you come clean about your relationship with Lawrence Chu?” James knew Joey was pretending to sleep. He himself had closed his eyes. There was no joy in his voice Joey Xiao sighed but responded carefully. \"Is there even a need for explanation? So what if I am still in a relationship with Lawrence Chu? Would that change anything between us?” \"So you do admit to having a relationship with him.\" James slowly opened his eyes, got up and threw a newspaper right at Joey Xiao’s face. Joey frowned as he picked up the pages, and in a sarcastic voice, “I’ve been paying these idiot writers to spread gossip about people, and they’re so good even I believe what they write!.” He returned the newspapers to James. “You’ve been in the entertainment industry for years, but you still can’t tell when the reporters are talking bullshit.” James Fu pinched Joey Xiao\'s chin with his finger, and asked once again. \"What is your rel
A few hours later, Fu stood by the bedroom’s wide window, smoking while making a phone call. “How is the public opinion on the Internet? ”Sir, we’ve been working hard for two days and two nights. The situation is under control. The video source was clear, and everyone has been briefed.” James, with his eyes slightly narrowed, recalled the situation at that time, and expecting a great deal. “Try to get more information about the deal between this man and Larry Lin.” Danny Cheng paused for a second. \"Sir, if all this was really Larry’s handiwork, what should we do?\" James made an unusual humming sound. Danny Cheng heard it. There was a slight fear in him and decided to stop asking about the private affairs of his boss. James Fu turned to another topic. “Any news from the Ministry of Culture? “Lawrence Chu hasn\'t folded yet. It’s been two months.” \"Two months of pressure?\" He was rath
Larry Lin sneered. On his face was contempt. “Your father was a murderer,” He went on. “If it wasn’t for James, you would have been ruined.” All of a sudden, Joey punched him in the face. Joey Xiao now towered over Larry, who now lay on the ground. “Watch your mouth, my father didn’t kill anyone! Larry Lin was on the floor with his left hand covering his face. His right hand was clenched. He was just about to get up and punch him back but suddenly he saw a figure standing at the door. \"I know you don\'t like me, but I just stated a fact. Why do you have to beat me up!\" James Fu heard the words, and his eyebrows were deep and he shouted at him. \"Joey Xiao, what are you doing!\" It was James Fu, who had just come home. In spite of himself, Joey had to smile at Larry Lin\'s silent provocation. Now Joey Xiao understood that Larry had intentionally provoked him. It was a perfect
The blood drained from Joey Xiao’s face. The nightmare he had experienced five years ago was once again unfolding before his very eyes. The man touched Joey Xiao\'s cheek and ordered through his hand to \"get the camera up.\" Looking at himself in front of the camera, Joey Xiao was in a panic but forced himself to calm down. It’s not easy to be a big star. This flesh that we failed to try five years ago, we have the chance to taste it now.” The man sighed and took off Joey Xiao’s clothes but were not taken off properly. He was tied tightly and firmly. The bad guy moved his cold feet. He also looked at the pair who were assigned at the left and right part of the door next to the camera and suddenly it opened. \"Wait, I have a request.” The man stopped. \"What is it?\" \"I\'m almost coming now, am I?\" Joey Xiao finished, lowered his eyes, gently smiled. \"It’s just a small request. I don’t want anyone wat
Shocked, James almost dropped his mobile phone. \"What did you just say?\" Even though they were speaking to each other from across the globe, the line was very clear. Danny could tell from James’s heavy breathing thathe was very upset. He hesitated for a second, then carefully repeated his words. \"Joey Xiao was missing.” He paused, then continued. “We have already sent people to look for him. No news yet, so far.” “You had one job. One job. What the hell happened? How could you let this happen?” “I don’t care how you do it. Before I get off the plane I want to hear positive results.” He hung up. James Fu had just ended the phone call when his mother, Cora Liao, pushed the door open. “James, you promised you’ll take Ms. Smith out for dinner today, make sure you don’t forget.” Mrs. Fu noticed the mess on the floor. With much concern she asked, “What’s the problem? Mind if I ask?” \"It’s nothing.
