352: Chapter 327: Rules 352: Chapter 327: Rules Xue Gang began humming the songs written by Liu Hun and sang a few lines of each before discarding one after another. Out of ten meticulously crafted songs produced by some of today’s top talented music producers, Xue Gang threw half of them away. “Just these five songs might be passable, but forget the rest. By the way, who wrote these ten songs?” Xue Gang asked Liu Hun. “Modestly speaking, I wrote them all myself,” Liu Hun simply replied to Xue Gang. Xue Gang’s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected Liu Hun to live up to his reputation as rumored. In truth, all ten songs were exceptional, but Xue Gang was looking to extort more money and had deliberately caused trouble, not expecting them all to be the work of Liu Hun alone. “Hmm... Manager Liu is indeed impressive, but having Bi’er sing only your songs might limit her opportunities. Therefore, I hope you can involve talented producers like Ou Ye and Jia Tianhao to write a few songs, to avoid limiting Bi’er. I’ll start with five songs, and you can slowly plead for the remaining seven,” Xue Gang casually found a pretext to say to Liu Hun. “In fact, Manager Liu he—” Shi Bi’er started to say that Liu Hun was extraordinarily talented and capable of writing songs with completely different styles, such as “Watch My 72 Changes” and “It’s Time to Say Goodbye” which are entirely different in style, but she stopped talking when she saw Liu Hun shaking his head at her. “Alright! Since you have no other comments, let’s start by paying half the money. How about we start production now?” Xue Gang asked Liu Hun, his underlying motive being money. Liu Hun immediately agreed. Seeing Liu Hun so compliant, Xue Gang grew even more arrogant and casually grabbed Shi Bi’er’s hand, saying, “Then let’s go inside and start recording, my goddess.” After receiving a nod from Liu Hun, Shi Bi’er followed Xue Gang into the recording studio. The studio was separated from the outside by a soundproof glass, so Liu Hun could see clearly inside and wasn’t worried about Xue Gang making any improper moves. It took Xue Gang one whole day to somewhat finalize a song’s sample which sounded quite good, and he didn’t make any inappropriate moves, so Liu Hun temporarily eased his worries. A week had passed, and under Xue Gang’s direction, only three song samples had been completed for Shi Bi’er’s album. Contrary to Xue Gang’s slow production pace, the costs were surging higher each day and exceeding the budget. Liu Hun received the living expenses sent by Xue Gang for these three days. The amount had doubled from the originally agreed fifteen hundred to three thousand, and the messenger had also left a message that Xue Gang thought the finalized three songs were perfect, hence a celebration was planned for tonight, expecting an expenditure of twenty thousand. Liu Hun heavily put down his pen with which he had been writing songs. These few days, he had been pondering how to finish the remaining songs, but Xue Gang, like an annoying fly, truly irritated him. He had to warn Xue Gang, otherwise he would take even more liberties! Thinking so, Liu Hun left his house and hailed a taxi to the east of the city. Upon reaching the recording studio, the scene before him felt wrong—the recording studio was closed! Liu Hun quickly pulled out his phone and called Shi Bi’er, but her phone was turned off. Calling Xue Gang yielded the same result—his phone was also off, and Liu Hun immediately had a bad premonition. “Are you Manager Liu?” a production assistant approached and asked Liu Hun. “Yes, I am Liu Hun. And you are?” Liu Hun asked with some confusion, not recalling having met this assistant before. “That’s correct, Miss Shi Bi’er asked me to tell you that she and Producer Xue have gone to celebrate and might not return tonight. Please don’t worry, Manager Liu,” the assistant told Liu Hun. Even if Shi Bi’er would say such a thing, she should’ve called to inform him—as something was definitely wrong. Feeling alert, Liu Hun gripped the assistant and quickly offered him three hundred, saying, “Tell me the truth, did Miss Shi Bi’er tell you this directly or was it conveyed by someone else? Also, where have they gone to celebrate?” The assistant looked at the three hundred yuan in Liu Hun’s hand, smacked his lips, and remained silent without leaving. Liu Hun immediately pulled out seven hundred-yuan notes and said, “Talk!” With a sly smile, the assistant took the money and said, “It was Producer Xue who asked me to convey this, not Miss Shi Bi’er. Plus, I saw Miss Shi Bi’er seemed reluctant when she got into the car.” “Where did they go?” Liu Hun pressed urgently. “Mingli Field!” Mingli Field, a renowned private club, nestled next to the National Park in the west of the city with its beautiful scenery and unique natural features, was seldom known by ordinary people. What activities transpired within were thus even lesser known. Liu Hun took a taxi directly to Mingli Field Private Club and, after a short walk, saw the inconspicuous entrance hidden amongst lush greenery. “Hey! Stop there! Who are you, and do you even know what this place is?” a security guard stopped Liu Hun and demanded. Pulling out a thousand yuan from his bag, Liu Hun handed it to the guard and said, “I’m here to find someone. Please, let me through.” The guard glanced at the money in Liu Hun’s hand, accepted it, and pocketed it, making Liu Hun realize that the situation was settled. “Stop! Where are you going?” The guard suddenly blocked Liu Hun, who was about to walk inside. “This... aren’t you...” Liu Hun started with a puzzled expression. “I’m not what? Get lost! Get lost! A poor ghost without even a car trying to get into Mingli Field! Daydreaming! What are you looking at! What do you want to do? What can you do? If you don’t scram right now, I’m going to start hitting!” The security guard said shamelessly, and seeing Liu Hun not moving, he pulled out a stun baton and struck at Liu Hun. “Snap!” Liu Hun firmly caught the wrist of the security guard, a fierce glint crossing his eyes. The security guard suddenly felt as if his whole body was electrified, shuddering while something vital surged out of him. “Thud!” The guard fell to the ground, his eyes showing a vacant stupid look. Liu Hun dragged the guard into the security room, then dressed in his uniform and swaggered into Mingli Field. Mingli Field, true to its reputation as a den for celebrities and rich businessmen, was a vast place with multiple overlapping greenery and buildings. Liu Hun walked in, feeling lost like a headless fly, and aimlessly wandered into a Baroque-like building when he suddenly heard someone talking not far away. “Hey! Honey, do you know who I entertained today? Your favorite, Shi Bi’er! Yes! She’s in room 204 with a producer; I was just about to take them some fruits. I’ll try to get you an autographed photo. Okay! Bye!” The waiter who tucked away his phone suddenly felt something pushing against his back. “Tell me how to get to room 204?” Liu Hun stood behind the waiter, brandishing the stun baton in front of him. Seeing the blue sparks from the stun baton, the waiter shivered and said, “Go straight from here, it’s the fourth room.” “You better take a rest.” After saying that, Liu Hun grabbed the fruit tray from the waiter’s hand and pressed the stun baton against him. Liu Hun changed into the waiter’s uniform and dragged him to a secluded spot then headed toward room 204 with the tray. Just as he reached the door, he heard Xue Gang’s voice inside; he seemed to be on a phone call. “Mr. Hong, rest assured! With your words, I guarantee everything will be handled perfectly! Yes! With your support, with Tianxing behind me, I don’t care at all about Chai Rong or not Chai Rong. Yes, yes, yes, I’ll certainly show you the wildest side of Shi Bi’er..........” The voice gradually faded and Liu Hun knew Xue Gang had hung up. To his surprise, Xue Gang was actually colluding with Tianxing Group and was even planning to set up Shi Bi’er. “Knock, knock, knock... knock, knock, knock...” Liu Hun thought and immediately knocked on the door. “Who?” Xue Gang asked from inside. “Delivery for the fruit tray,” Liu Hun replied. After a few seconds, Xue Gang opened the door of the room. The dim lights inside prevented Xue Gang from recognizing Liu Hun, but Liu Hun immediately spotted Shi Bi’er, who was drunk and passed out on the sofa, thankfully still fully dressed, relieving Liu Hun considerably. “Just leave it on the table and you can go,” Xue Gang said as he followed Liu Hun inside. Liu Hun placed the fruit tray down, stood up, turned to leave, and at the very moment he was passing by Xue Gang, he extended his stun baton. “Zap, zap, zap...” Blue sparks flashed, and Xue Gang’s eyes rolled back as he immediately collapsed to the floor. Liu Hun carefully packed up the stun baton after checking to make sure Xue Gang was unconscious and then placed his left hand on him. Using the power of Black Water Dragon, Liu Hun drained away Xue Gang’s talent, no longer planning to use this treacherous Xue Gang for producing music for Shi Bi’er. Liu Hun kicked Xue Gang aside and approached the sofa to check on Shi Bi’er. Fortunately, it seemed she was just drunk, mumbling drunken words as if calling his name. Liu Hun called out “Shi Bi’er” a few times, but she was too heavily intoxicated, so he decided to carry Shi Bi’er out of the room. Liu Hun, carrying Shi Bi’er, planned to leave Mingli Field the same way he came in. Not long after stepping out of the room, a shout came from behind, “Hey! Stop right there!” Liu Hun turned around and saw that the waiter he had knocked unconscious had been revived and was patrolling with two security guards; they had just spotted Liu Hun. Seeing the inevitable encounter and with Shi Bi’er on his back, Liu Hun, concerned about further complications should more people arrive and the situation become public, decided... to run! “That’s the guy! Chase him! Stop! Don’t think about running!” With three people relentlessly occupying him, Liu Hun zigzagged through the vast clubhouse like a headless fly, ultimately running into a dead end in his panic. Forget it! Might as well handle these three guys first! He thought a dead end was actually a pretty good spot. But the growing noise of the approaching crowd messed up his plan, judging from the raucous sounds there were now more than three people outside. What to do now? If people recognized Shi Bi’er with him, it could really complicate things. As Liu Hun was fretting, suddenly the door on his left was opened. “Hey? Who are you? Why are you here... Shi Bi’er!” An astonished voice immediately recognized Shi Bi’er on Liu Hun’s back.
