“I think you’ve lost your marbles. Yuan Heng is dead. She’s been dead for 25 years!” Su Yi yelled furiously. A shadow of malignity was caught in the undertones between his clenched teeth.

“She has come back. She’ll come back for us. She’s already onto me. She will come after you too.” Li Jingran shouted back in despair. With the immense fear rocking her to her core, she rambled on.

Yuan Heng was in front of her, regardless of whether she opened or closed her eyes. All Li Jingran could see was Yuan Heng’s mangled face and resentful eyes that were trying to drag her down to hell.

“Have you been tired lately?” Su Yi had no idea why she was suddenly so worked up. Once he regained his composure, he rubbed his temples. “Where’s Wanwan? Isn’t she with you?”

Li Jingran had only joined the set, yet she was already acting psychotic. If anyone were to find out, God knows what would be written in the papers.

The company was not doing too well right now as many organizations had suspended cooperation with Su Corporation. The company could not afford Li Jingran’s bad press to blow up in their faces.

“Su Yi, get a shaman. Get the famous Master Lai from Harbor City. I heard many good things about him.” Mingling in showbiz, Li Jingran had always been a firm believer in feng shui. She viciously spewed, “I’m going to dig her grave so she can rot in Hell forever!”

Su Yi frowned. Although he believed in feng shui, feng shui was not the answer to everything. She had clearly lost her mind. “How many scenes do you have left?”

“Look for the shaman. Look for him.” Li Jingran was boiling. Yuan Heng was no longer in sight.

She was almost certain that her shaky nerves were an illusion. Otherwise, Yuan Heng she saw would kill her.

Whatever Li Jingran saw, be it an illusion or a ghost, Yuan Heng was going to pay. Li Jingran vowed to dig up Yuan Heng’s grave and feed her remains to the dogs.

“Check yourself into the hospital after your filming. You need to see a psychologist.” Su Yi bluntly uttered without giving her a chance to refute.

Perhaps she should go to a mental hospital.

Just then, there was a knock on his office door.

Listening to Li Jingran hysterically kicking up a fuss about Yuan Heng over the phone, Su Yi’s eyes flickered with obvious hatred. “I’ve got work to do. I’m hanging up.”

The assistant waited until Su Yi ended the call before saying, “Mr. Su, Fang Chu, the assistant from Li Corporation, called and said he had read your proposal. He was interested in setting up a meeting to discuss the details at his office.”

Su Yi’s eyes lit up with joy. “When?”

The assistant respectfully answered, “Any time.”

Getting on his feet, Su Yi put on his jacket and eagerly walked out. “Let’s go now.”

Su Yi needed not be afraid of those small businesses shying away from him if he was able to hang on to the magic money tree that was Li Corporation.

No matter what, Su Yi must seal the deal with Li Corporation. The fate of Su Corporation rested on the partnership.

Fang Chu had been waiting in Li Corporation’s meeting room. He grabbed a tiny pill and dropped it in a teacup after the secretary knocked on the door to inform him that Su Yi was on his way up.

Boss’s lady said that the pill could cause hallucinations and awaken the selfishness, nastiness, and filthiness buried in the depths of the soul. Fang Chu had been itching to try it.

He wondered what kind of beast he would summon after taking the pill. Nevertheless, it was best for Fang Chu to give up that thought since young missus said a cure had not been developed yet.

Soon.

The secretary knocked on the door and mentioned that Mr. Su was here.

With a smile, Fang Chu picked up the purple clay teapot with his long and lean fingers and poured the aromatic golden tea into the cup. It only took a second for the pill to dissolve without a trace.

Boss’s lady wanted to do it the hard way. If he had a say in it, the Su family should be crushed with one stomp. It was as easy as ABC. Yet, that was not enough for the missus. She wanted to bring down the Su family bit by bit.

Su Corporation had been facing operational troubles since paying off the wager on the gambling platform. In the past few months, Yuan Yu had been working to get many companies which were working with the Su family to suspend their contracts, leaving the Su family knee-deep in financial woes.

It was not an easy task for Yuan Yu to accomplish as he was not equipped with much leverage and skills.

Fang Chu mentioned to Boss that they should help out whenever necessary, but Boss disagreed. Boss merely maintained to let the missus have all the fun she wanted.

This was the first time the missus sought Boss’s help to feed Su Yi the pill. The mission fell on Fang Chu’s shoulders.

A scum like Su Yi was not good enough to dirty Boss’s hands. If it were not to mess with Su Yi, Fang Chu found it beneath him to even glance at the man.

The door was pushed open.

Su Yi respectfully took strides in and greeted Fang Chu. This man was one of Li Yuan’s the head of the Li household’s, right-hand men. Fang Chu carried a lot of authority.

It was said that the head of the Li household rarely handled his own businesses. Instead, his assistants would do the work for him. Each of his assistants was a force to be reckoned with in the business world. Now that Su Yi was meeting one in the flesh, he had first-hand experience of Fang Chu’s commanding mien.

“Mr. Su, come in.” Fang Chu grinned charmingly as he sized up the man. Su Yi definitely had the looks, considering he was once a movie star in showbiz.

However, Su Yi had no resemblance to the missus. With the manipulativeness and glum in his eyes hard to miss, it was clear that he was a shrewd and petty man.

Fang Chu enjoyed screwing with these kinds of people. He loved making these people kneel at his feet and cry in remorse.

An hour later, the collaboration contract was not signed. Instead, Su Yi signed a different agreement prepared by Fang Chu.

Su Yi seemed pleased as he left hot with emotions.

Once at the car, the assistant inquired with worry, “Mr. Su, Li Corporation isn’t going to invest in us. Instead, we must first come up with sufficient funds. This is putting a lot on our company.”

Su Yi glared at his short-sighted assistant. “What do you know? You have to give in order to get returns. If we’re able to close a deal with a major company like Li Corporation, a quadrillion yuan investment’s only a drop in the bucket for them.”

The Su family would be able to soar sky-high thanks to the Li family.

“But…” Su Yi’s displeased eyes made the assistant swallow his words.

Money was more important than anything else to Mr. Su. He refused to even slightly lose out in any partnerships with other companies. However, the huge investment in the early stage would basically drain the Su family of its funds.

While Li Corporation would not suffer any losses if the deal fell through, Su Corporation would be faced with bankruptcy.
