Chapter 74: Punching the Agent

"Su Yan is in trouble!"

Li Yunzai's phone fell to the ground with a thud, and his mind went blank in an instant. Usually very self-controlled, he was now completely at a loss after hearing this news.

In the next moment, Li Yunzai roughly took off the clothes he was wearing for the poster shoot and changed into his own clothes. Standing at the door, Park Chan-hwan, who had come with Li Yunzai, frowned at his hurried appearance. There were only three more hours left for the shoot; where could he be going at this time?

Park Chan-hwan was one of the agents under LOEN Entertainment, and Bae Song-in had also intended for him to be Li Yunzai's agent. The two were currently in the process of getting to know each other.

"Li Yunzai, where are you going? We only have three more hours to finish the shoot. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after we're done!" Park Chan-hwan approached, frowning.

"Brother, something happened at home. I need to go back!" Li Yunzai said as he changed his clothes. If it weren't for the conspicuous fashion outfit, he would have rushed out already.

Park Chan-hwan's heart sank. "No, even if it's an emergency, everything has to wait until the shoot is finished! We only have three more hours. Just hold on a bit longer!"

"Brother... I really can't wait. Also, please ask the president for a day off. I'll come back the day after tomorrow..." Li Yunzai finished changing and stuffed his things into his backpack.

"No means no. Do you know how much it costs to rent a studio? If you leave now, the shoot will only be half done. This is just being unreasonable! No, no... hurry up and change back into your clothes. The break is almost over!"

"Brother... there's really an emergency at home... can't I just come back and work overtime the next day... I really have to go!" Li Yunzai was worried about Su Yan and couldn't care less about the poster shoot.

"Li Yunzai!!!" Park Chan-hwan was furious and shouted, "You need to understand that you are an artist, and you are working now. If every artist did what you're doing and left whenever they got a call from home, it would be chaos... No matter how big the family issue, it's still a small matter. No matter how small the work issue, it's still a big matter. You need to get your priorities straight!"

Park Chan-hwan, who had been suppressing his frustration with Li Yunzai for a long time, now lost his temper. He had always been gentle with the artists he had worked with, but Li Yunzai was different, doing whatever he wanted. This time, he was determined to put him in his place. The photographer, lighting technician, and other staff members turned their heads at the sound of the argument.

Li Yunzai's mood, already darkened by Su Yan's situation, became even more gloomy. He had heard that entertainment companies treated artists like they weren't human, making them finish their work or run errands before they could deal with personal matters. He had thought LOEN was different, but it seemed that all crows were black after all.

Li Yunzai glanced at him indifferently, not wanting to argue, and walked past him. But in the next second, Park Chan-hwan picked up a magazine from the makeup table, rolled it into a stick, and lunged at Li Yunzai, swinging it at his head.

Thud... The magazine made contact with Li Yunzai's head, and a dull sound echoed in everyone's ears. Li Yunzai staggered a few steps.

Xiao Yang wanted to stop Park Chan-hwan but didn't have the courage to reach out. Park Chan-hwan was known in LOEN for his "cruelty." Almost every artist in the company had been under his management, and everyone described him behind his back as a "temperamental maniac."

"Damn it, who do you think you are, doing whatever you want? If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think no one can control you!" Park Chan-hwan was furious.

Li Yunzai took a few steps back, staggering away from Park Chan-hwan, and shook his head. Damn... Li Yunzai was seething inside.

The staff around them were stunned, staring at Park Chan-hwan in disbelief. They couldn't believe he was so "cruel," starting a fight after just a few words.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how to be an artist... I am your agent. I'm not asking you, I'm ordering you. Put down your backpack and get back to the shoot!" Park Chan-hwan shouted at Li Yunzai, finally calming down.

Li Yunzai dropped his backpack and wiped the foam from his face. Seeing Li Yunzai put down his backpack, Park Chan-hwan sneered. In front of me, even a dragon has to coil. We'll see if you dare to defy me again. Without another look at Li Yunzai, Park Chan-hwan turned and walked back to the makeup table, throwing the magazine onto it. At that moment, he felt someone tap his shoulder and turned instinctively, only to be met with a huge fist that slowly filled his vision.

Bang!!!

Li Yunzai's fist hit Park Chan-hwan's right cheek, followed by another punch to his left cheek.

"You... you dare to hit me!" Park Chan-hwan covered his face, stepping back a few steps when he saw the fierce look in Li Yunzai's eyes. He shouted, "You're finished... you're finished! I'll report you to the president. How dare you hit an agent? You're going to be fired!"

Before Park Chan-hwan could say more, Li Yunzai kicked him in the stomach, and Park Chan-hwan fell to the ground. Li Yunzai rushed over, grabbed his collar, and started pounding him with his fists. The sound of Park Chan-hwan's cries filled the studio.

"Damn it, who do you think you are? Just because you're an agent, you can treat artists like they're not human? Do you speak for Bae Song-in? If you have the guts, let him come and talk to me. I don't provoke others, but I'm not to be trifled with. If you want to fight, I'll see it through to the end!" As he spoke, Li Yunzai's fists didn't stop, hitting Park Chan-hwan repeatedly.

Li Yunzai's mood was already dark and anxious because of Su Yan. Now, with Park Chan-hwan's provocation, it was like a fuse had been lit, setting off a bomb. Li Yunzai, who had lost his composure over Su Yan, seemed like a different person, far from the gentle, warm, and sunny boy he usually was. He exuded a violent aura that made everyone hesitate to approach.

The staff in the studio stared with wide eyes, amazed by the dramatic turn of events. Agents hitting artists was a common unspoken rule in the industry, and they had seen similar incidents before. But an artist fighting back against an agent was unprecedented, leaving everyone in shock.

Park Chan-hwan was no match for Li Yunzai. Under Li Yunzai's fierce attack, he could only cry out in pain.

"Go tell Bae Song-in. If he treats artists like you do, I'll terminate my contract immediately. I won't release the album. Let him do it himself; I'm out! And if anything happens to my sister because I'm late, you're dead. I'll come after you first!" As he spoke, Li Yunzai slapped Park Chan-hwan hard, and the sound echoed. Park Chan-hwan screamed in pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which included a tooth.

Seeing this, everyone shuddered. As Li Yunzai stood up, they instinctively took a few steps back. At that moment, Li Yunzai seemed to exude a powerful aura that made everyone in the studio hold their breath.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for what you've seen!" Li Yunzai bowed slightly, then quickly picked up his backpack and ran out of the studio.

Ten seconds after Li Yunzai left, everyone finally came to their senses, realizing they had broken out in a cold sweat.

"Li Yunzai... you... my... tooth... I... will... sue... you..."

Park Chan-hwan lay on the ground like a dead dog, mumbling incoherently. His face was bruised, his veins broken, and his eyes swollen and bloodshot, making his head look like a pig's head.

Everyone looked at him with a mix of schadenfreude. Just a moment ago, he was full of himself, but now he was lying on the ground like a dead dog. He had no idea how strong Li Yunzai was and still dared to hit him first. This was his own fault. Moreover, since he was the one who started the fight, even if he wanted to sue Li Yunzai, he had no grounds, as he was the one who initiated the attack, and Li Yunzai was defending himself.

The photographer shook his head, glanced at the door, and thought, "A young bull isn't afraid of tigers. It's been a long time since I've seen such a spirited artist. Good kid, I hope you keep this attitude and go far."

The photographer then called an ambulance and lazily returned to editing photos, not bothering to look at Park Chan-hwan on the ground. The others, while marveling at Li Yunzai's "cruelty," also didn't bother to call the police. This was LOEN's internal matter, and they didn't want to get involved.

Moreover, everyone present found Park Chan-hwan's actions despicable. As Li Yunzai said, artists are human, not animals, and shouldn't be hit on a whim. Someone like Park Chan-hwan didn't deserve sympathy. Calling an ambulance was already more than enough.
