180 The Pursuit

“Caught you red-handed. Miss Shen, are you still thinking of denying it?”

Shen Lan’s face turned red and white, she lowered her head and stammered, unable to speak.

“Since you’re my nephew’s family, I won’t punish you. Which company do you have a management contract with?” Tong Pei coldly asked.

“I’m at Hang Zhen’s studio,” Shen Lan said in a low voice.

Hang Zhen’s studio had also signed up a few small-time artistes.

“Alright, be prepared to terminate the contract.” Tong Pei stood up and left the room.

Shen Lan stood rooted to the ground, stunned. Wasn’t directly terminating the contract going to completely destroy her career?

“I beg you! I beg you, Young Master, I beg you. I’ll do anything you want. Please!” Her sharp scream echoed in the room, and Tong Huan stood there and looked at her expressionlessly.

“Mr. Tong Huan, please help me. Please help me talk to Tong Pei. I’m begging you.”

“There’s no use begging me. You’d better pray for yourself.” Tong Huan glanced at Shen Lan.

Shen Lan hurriedly said, “I merely had a crooked thought once. In this circle, there are many people with crooked thoughts. Why are you only investigating me?”

“You’d better think about what you’ve done before. Young Master Tong isn’t a fool.”

Shen Lan was stunned on the spot as she knew what Tong Huan was talking about.

But the way she revealed that to Gu Yi had been very secretive, so how did Tong Pei know?

This man was simply too scary.

…

Guo Miao’s mood was not very good after such chaos, so she returned to her room very early.

Ning Zheng kept apologizing to Guo Miao, but Guo Miao did not think that it was a problem. For a female director like Ning Zheng who had made it to the top among men, it was normal for her to encounter such a situation. It was not just Ning Zheng’s problem.

Back in the room, Guo Miao took the portable neural transmitter that she had been testing recently. This neural transmitter device was placed on something like a helmet and was very light to use.

However, because the stability still needed to be tested, Guo Miao didn’t promote it.

Star Empire was a holographic game, but it was too expensive to buy a sleeping pod for every game, so Guo Miao was prepared to use a helmet when it was officially released.

Putting on the helmet, Guo Miao entered Haiqin city.

There was a parkour competition in the game today. A hundred players would be sent to the slums in the western part of the city.

Although it was a slum, there were still many high-rise buildings because of the large number of poor people.

Because of poverty, most of the buildings here were very old. The players had to move through these old buildings and fight each other. The one who reached the destination first was the final winner.

During this process, everyone’s health bar was virtual, and when the health bar was depleted, they would automatically withdraw from the game.

Guo Miao tightened her grip on her equipment and gripped the dagger in her hand. Her current in-game avatar was the image of a female jester that had been drawn recently. Her hair was tied into two ponytails, one side blue and the other red, and she was wearing a titillating belly-baring cropped top and a pair of bell bottoms.

There were about a hundred people participating in the competition. Some of them were closed beta players, and some were employees of the Jinyue Group’s Haicheng branch.

I, who won first place in the car race last time, was also among them. However, today, he had changed into a denim outfit, a black beret, and a head of dazzling red hair. His face was still covered with a mask.

In Star Empire, he could only use his original face to enter the game, and he could not set his avatar.

Guo Miao looked at the other person’s exposed eyes and felt that they were familiar. Who was this “I”?

As the golden fireworks exploded in the sky, the parkour competition began.

Guo Miao followed the crowd as they shuttled through the high-rise buildings while keeping a close eye on the figure in denim.

‘I let you off the last time, but I’m not going to let you off this time.’

That person should be a gaming expert, and his skills in the game were quite good.

When everyone was stuck in the skyscrapers, he had already used a hook and a rope that he had produced from somewhere. He moved nimbly between the skyscrapers like he was swinging.

Guo Miao followed closely behind, but her equipment wasn’t a rope or a hook. Instead, she used a pair of flying shoes that she had prepared long ago.

The rules of the competition stated that one could only bring three pieces of equipment other than the flying device. This was one of the pieces of equipment that she had modified.
