15: Five-year agreement

"What did you say?"

Lin Fan's Aura changed completely, and he looked at the woman in front of him with sharp eyes.

"No matter how many times I say it, it's the same."

Facing Lin Fan, who was subtly revealing a dangerous Aura, Hei Mei's eyes were full of disappointment.

All this time, she had misjudged Lin Fan.

During their conversation today, she deeply realized that hurting Li Quan for Lin Fan was not worth it at all!

Seeing the unyielding attitude of the woman he had designated as his own, Lin Fan took a deep breath and slowly reined in his Aura.

In the past two days, that inexplicable irritability had made him easily angered.

He now somewhat regretted releasing his Aura towards Hei Mei just now.

However.

Hei Mei was not a little girl like Li Shiya; she wouldn't stand rooted to the spot, waiting for him to comfort her.

"From now on, I will secretly ensure the network security of Lis Group.

Considering our friendship, I will not actively do anything to Tianyu Company."

Leaving the final sentence, Hei Mei put on her earphones, turned around, and left.

Watching Hei Mei leave helplessly, Lin Fan could no longer bear it and punched fiercely into the air.

"Boom!"

A giant sound like muffled thunder reverberated throughout the entire floor.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Lin Fan roared, feeling a sense of pent-up frustration with nowhere to vent.

First, Li Shiya betrayed him.

Then, Wang Biao disappeared without a trace.

Next, the company's spy was found out.

Also, Ghost Tooth inexplicably lost contact.

Now even Hei Mei was treating him like this!

Lin Fan felt as if some entity was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

A large net was constantly closing in on him!

And even now, he didn't even know who that entity behind the scenes was!

"Buzz buzz buzz ~"

On the ground, the telephone with a shattered screen vibrated, showing an incoming call—Cheng Jun.

Calming his irritable emotions, Lin Fan answered.

"Hello, Brother Jun."

"Xiao Fan! Good news, great news!"

On the other end of the telephone, the Middle-aged man's thick voice came through.

"What good news?"

Lin Fan was a little confused.

"The location of the treasure vault left by Master has been found!"

"Really?!"

Lin Fan was first surprised, then his face was filled with joy: "Where?"

"Let's meet and talk in detail."

...

When Hei Mei returned to the house with her computer bag, Li Quan had already left.

There was a small note on the table.

'Something came up at the company.

This house is yours.

Let's catch up when we have time.'

"This guy."

Looking at the cold house, Hei Mei's tone sounded resentful.

However, thinking about it, she sighed inwardly.

Indeed, Lis Group was already in a precarious situation, and it was impossible for Li Quan to spare time to accompany her.

She was back to being alone.

Hei Mei opened her computer, preparing to surf the internet.

A news push on the computer piqued her interest.

'Lis Group Press Conference, Lis Group's current director Li Quan is present.'

She clicked on this news article.

This was a live news conference.

There were already two million people watching in real-time, and the number was still increasing.

On the stage of the press conference, facing hundreds of reporters with a calm and composed demeanor, was none other than Li Quan.

Watching this scene, Hei Mei quieted down.

Meanwhile, the scrolling comments in the live stream were very active.

"I didn't expect Li Quan to be quite handsome in person."

"Hmph, he looks decent, but who knows how many outrageous things he's done behind the scenes!"

"Alas, speaking of it, he's quite pitiful.

At a time like this, when everything has fallen apart and both his parents are dead, how old is he that he has to step forward?"

"Front row, front row, melon seeds, beer, drinks, and fruits."

...

"Mr. Li, may I ask, are the negative revelations about your company exposed by Dark Rose true?"

The reporter who asked the question was exceptionally straightforward.

Regarding this question, Li Quan smiled faintly: "I believe that the truth will always come to light one day."

He did not answer directly, nor could he answer directly.

Li Quan understood that if he answered anything to this kind of question, it would be deeply analyzed by the media to who knows what extent later on.

"The day the truth comes to light..."

Hei Mei's heart trembled.

"Then, Mr. Li, did your parents commit suicide because the company went bankrupt?"

Another reporter asked.

Any information about Lis Group, no matter which aspect, had the potential to make headlines for reporters!

Since they caught up with the press conference organized by Li Quan this time, they naturally wanted to ask Li Quan about everything, inside and out.

Seeing this reporter's question.

Li Quan's expression paused, and then, in front of these hundred reporters and millions of people in the live stream, he slowly shook his head.

"They were not suicides; they were massacred!"

"Wow!"

In an instant, everyone present exclaimed in astonishment.

"Mr. Li, is what you said true? Then do you know who the murderer is?"

"I know the murderer, and at the same time, I have already initiated legal proceedings to sue the other party."

Li Quan's tone remained calm.

But the reporters and the audience in the live stream couldn't stay calm!

Murder, Li Quan said his parents were killed by someone!

"Who is it? Can Mr. Li tell us?"

The reporter clearly smelled a headline and immediately asked.

In response, Li Quan shook his head: "This is my personal matter.

I will ensure that the criminal receives the punishment they deserve.

Other details are inconvenient to disclose."

"Actually, the reason I called this press conference is to tell everyone that the cinematic masterpiece, directed by me, Li Quan, and taking five years to complete, will be officially released at the end of this month."

"Movie release?"

Upon hearing Li Quan's words, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

The live stream also shifted from the topic of Li Quan's parents.

"Hahahaha, Brother, what time is it, and you still have the mood to promote a movie?"

"I'm laughing.

Is he using the popularity of the company going bankrupt to promote a movie?"

"This move is brilliant.

A press conference turned into a movie promotion conference."

"Heh heh, just a Clown.

Does Li Quan really think he can bring the company back to life with a single movie?

I will not watch any movie released by such a black-hearted company!"

The entire press conference venue completely descended into chaos.

Seeing that the goal was basically achieved, Li Quan did not linger and left directly.

When Li Quan returned to the company, the internet was, not surprisingly, dominated by the information he had just revealed.

At the press conference, Li Quan mainly disseminated two pieces of information.

One was the death of his parents, and the other was the movie.

Both pieces of news had their respective purposes.

The death of his parents, this news, was directly revealed by Li Quan to put pressure on Lin Fan.

Under the close attention of countless netizens, Lin Fan would have to consider many things if he wanted to harm him or Li Shiya again.

As for the second, the purpose of promoting the movie... was because of Qi Li.

"Buzz buzz ~" Li Quan's telephone rang.

Incoming call display—Qi Li.

Seeing the caller, Li Quan knew that the fish had taken the bait.

He answered the telephone: "Hello?"

There was silence for two breaths on the other end of the telephone, and then the woman's voice came through: "Our engagement will be canceled next month, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you're releasing your movie at the end of this month?"

There was a hint of Qi Li's confusion in this sentence.

"This is, after all, an agreement between us.

Although it ultimately had no result, I will still fulfill it."

Li Quan's words were calm.

Five years ago, both he and Qi Li were 18 years old.

Due to their family backgrounds, both entered the entertainment industry.

From that time on, both sets of parents arranged an engagement for them.

Qi Li was dissatisfied and found Li Quan to break off the engagement.

Being rejected by a woman, Li Quan naturally couldn't tolerate it, so the two made an agreement.

On a certain day five years later, both would present their best film and television work.

Whoever's work was better would decide whether to dissolve the engagement!

Li Quan had not forgotten this agreement, nor had Qi Li.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the telephone, and after a long time, Qi Li finally said: "At the end of the month, my movie will also be released.

If you keep your promise, I will win, and I should be the one to propose dissolving the engagement."

"Heh, still as strong-willed as ever."

Without saying more, Li Quan hung up the telephone.
