Chapter 56

"Don't move!"

Seeing the shocked look on Park Sae-byuk's face and her trembling hand, Li Huanle grabbed her hand. Of course, it wasn't to take advantage of her, but to take the glass of wine from her hand. Then, he pulled her up with his other hand and walked her outside the booth.

"What's inside, you can guess, but I think you can understand. Now that this thing is in my hands, if you want to hold someone accountable, we can call the police right now. Don't worry, everyone here can be a witness, and that guy still has the stuff on him!"

Li Huanle's words brought Park Sae-byuk back to her senses. She felt extremely relieved and at the same time, incredibly angry. Although the dinner party had already made her very uncomfortable, she never imagined she would encounter something like this. She had heard of such things, but never thought it would happen to her.

At this moment, with her hand held by Li Huanle, Park Sae-byuk felt inexplicably reassured. She thought to herself that this was the second time Li Huanle had saved her.

The other three were terrified. "Call the police..."

"Sir, you might have misunderstood... This has nothing to do with us, I don't know anything!" The middle-aged man tried to explain, but seeing the change in Li Huanle's eyes, his words turned sour.

As for the young man, he didn't know what to say. The man in front of him and the seven or eight bodyguards or thugs behind him were already scary enough. Now, with the sudden mention of calling the police and the knowledge that he had drugs on him, everything made him panic. He didn't even have the courage to run.

"Whether there's a misunderstanding or not isn't up to you. Sae-byuk, how do you want to handle this?" Li Huanle asked with a smile, gently shaking the wine glass in his left hand, which seemed to have a special meaning.

Park Sae-byuk was, of course, furious, and not just a little. Who wouldn't be angry if they weren't willing to be a victim?

But as an artist, what would happen if this incident became public? And how would the company treat her?

For a moment, Park Sae-byuk was conflicted. Turning her head, she saw Li Huanle looking at her curiously, and she suddenly remembered something.

"What did you mean by what you said last time?" Park Sae-byuk's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Li Huanle was taken aback and laughed. "It definitely won't meet your expectations, but if you're interested, we can try together. If you trust me... you'll become famous!"

Again, such strange words. Park Sae-byuk was a young artist known for her kindness and authenticity in the entertainment industry. She was actually a very simple person, but the ups and downs of the past few years had made her more mature. However, her nature hadn't changed. Compared to the people in front of her, she trusted the man who had just saved her more.

Seeing the man looking at her with a hint of anticipation, Park Sae-byuk remembered the cold-faced Li Huanle from junior high school. It was this cold-faced guy who drove away the senior girls who bullied her and pointed at her, saying, "This one is under my protection." After that, no one bothered her anymore.

But it wasn't until their last meeting that Park Sae-byuk realized Li Huanle didn't even know who she was. It had nothing to do with memory. Perhaps from the beginning, he didn't recognize her or care about her, even when he said he would protect her.

The experiences of the past two years had left her exhausted, and today's incident made her even more indifferent. Looking at Li Huanle's not-so-obvious anticipation, Park Sae-byuk said impulsively, "I trust you!"

"Are you sure you trust me? No matter what I do?" Li Huanle wasn't excited but asked again.

This time, Park Sae-byuk nodded without hesitation.

Li Huanle felt a surge of warmth and turned his head to look at the three trembling people. "You are from Sae-byuk's company!"

The middle-aged man and the still groaning fat man weakly responded.

"What's your position?" Li Huanle asked the middle-aged man curiously.

The middle-aged man laughed dryly. "Head of the Planning Department!"

"Great, I need you to do something. Of course, it would be better if this gentleman could help too!" Li Huanle said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely!" The young man was self-aware and not too foolish, and didn't start shouting about who his father was.

The middle-aged man also nodded hurriedly.

"I want you to help terminate Park Sae-byuk's contract with the agency after the next album is released. I need to see the written document. Of course, I can also go directly to your CEO. I'm giving you one day... no, one day is too long. By noon tomorrow, I want to see the new contract. You can choose to refuse, but if you do, I'll call the police immediately. I won't say what will happen to the three of you, but the agency and this gentleman's company will definitely suffer significant repercussions. I'll give you a small... minute, that's one minute to think about it. Don't rush, a small minute is quite long!"

Li Huanle's words stunned the three. Park Sae-byuk, who was somewhat prepared, was only slightly surprised.

"How is that possible? I..." The middle-aged man called out anxiously.

Li Huanle didn't care and interrupted him, his face suddenly turning cold. "I don't care if it's possible or not. There's physical evidence here, and there are witnesses. Once we search this guy, there will definitely be fingerprints. With both physical and witness evidence, even if what you tried to do didn't succeed, it doesn't mean you don't need to bear legal responsibility. Please hurry, there are only ten seconds left!"

Today's incident was, in Li Huanle's view, a heaven-sent opportunity. After their last meeting, Li Huanle had thoroughly researched Park Sae-byuk's background and even asked his junior high school classmates. It turned out they were in the same class.

The conclusion of his research was that Park Sae-byuk had great potential, but her career had declined due to the agency's bizarre arrangements and the attacks from her detractors in the past few years.

She was clearly a singer, but had very few works. Her solo career path was also strange, neither fitting the role of an actor nor a singer, which could be seen as a failed transformation.

Li Huanle felt that her initial popularity was being wasted. Since Park Sae-byuk was the same age as him, even though her current popularity was low, if she could really develop, Li Huanle thought she would be a good candidate for endorsements. However, that was for the future.

In fact, Li Huanle's thinking had evolved. Besides considering her as an endorsement candidate, he was also thinking about finding more celebrities to shoot narrative advertisements, which would definitely have a better effect.

Undoubtedly, Li Huanle's help to Park Sae-byuk was more for the company's benefit. Although it was dangerous to suggest she terminate her contract with the agency, especially since Li Huanle wasn't yet famous.

But opportunities don't come every day. If he had only talked about it last time, but now that there was an opportunity, not taking action would be a waste.

As for whether he would harm Park Sae-byuk, Li Huanle believed that even if he was terrible, he could still help her have a better future than what he remembered.

Li Huanle's words were indeed shocking. However, the young man wasn't from Park Sae-byuk's company, so he immediately said, "It can be done, definitely. My father has a long-term partnership with GTB Entertainment. Many of the roles in the movies we invest in are played by GTB's artists. This can be done!"

Li Huanle looked at him and smiled. "Actually, I don't really care if it can be done. If this incident is exposed, we can also apply to the court for a contract termination, and the success rate would be several times higher than if you handle it. I'm just giving you a chance. Anyway, by noon tomorrow, if there's no result, you'll be waiting for the police. Also... don't have any bad ideas, or you'll bear the consequences!"

With that, Li Huanle turned and pulled Park Sae-byuk away from the booth, heading towards the staff entrance.
