My Brilliant CEO Wife

No matter whether Yun Hao likes it or not, the upcoming time basically belongs to Li Zhongzhuo's personal showtime, answering every journalist's questions methodically and acting very courteous and polite. That's the way things are in South Korea; no matter what his true circumstances are, he will always act like a gentleman.

Mad idiot, in a moment I'll tear off your hypocritical mask!

Yun Hao also got a bit of information about Li Zhongzhuo from Park Yueyao. Back then, Li Zhongzhuo emerged like a rising star, swiftly securing roles in numerous top-rated TV series and movies.

It's said that quite a few people wanted to deal with Li Zhongzhuo at the time, but they disappeared quietly, without a trace. Park Yueyao had even sent someone to assassinate Li Zhongzhuo, but none returned alive, and later Park Yueyao herself was nearly assassinated, almost costing her life.

So eventually, someone from Li Zhongzhuo's side came to negotiate with Park Yueyao. Anyway, one's a male star, one's a female star; their interests don't conflict. Both sides had taken action once each, so it's considered even. Otherwise, continuing to fight would be disadvantageous for both parties.

Since that incident, Park Yueyao and Li Zhongzhuo have minded their business and have never acted together.

However, over the years, Park Yueyao kept investigating the forces behind Li Zhongzhuo, and finally found a clue: the power that has been supporting Li Zhongzhuo is called Black Moon!

God knows how Yun Hao felt when he heard about Black Moon backing Li Zhongzhuo; anyway, at the moment, Yun Hao has only one thought: kill Li Zhongzhuo, destroy Black Moon!

Just as Yun Hao nearly fell asleep, the press conference finally ended, and as reporters gradually departed, Li Zhongzhuo walked toward Zhao Shishi with a smile, followed by three bodyguards in black.

"Manager Zhao, I apologize; it exceeded the expected time by ten minutes. I'll have my assistant transfer the extra fee to you." Originally, Li Zhongzhuo and his people booked an hour, but it exceeded by ten minutes, requiring additional payment.

"Okay, Xiaomin, please contact Mr. Li's assistant." Zhao Shishi instructed Zhou Xiaomin, her secretary who graduated from Harvard, beside her.

Soon after, Zhou Xiaomin directly contacted Li Zhongzhuo's assistant. This child is a bit low in emotional intelligence; why be so direct? It's like implying they might not pay.

Indeed, Zhou Xiaomin, with her high educational background, typically has high IQ but low EQ!

Yet Yun Hao found Zhou Xiaomin cute. How wonderful it is to give one's account directly; clearly, Li Zhongzhuo isn't a good person. What if he runs off?

No, Li Zhongzhuo won't be leaving alive tonight, because Yun Hao will personally settle him...

Next, Zhao Shishi and Li Zhongzhuo set out together down the stairs, with Shishi still closely accompanied by Li Zhongzhuo's bodyguards.

Suite 502!

Li Zhongzhuo had pre-booked it; tonight, he intended to invite Zhao Shishi for dinner. Yun Hao discreetly followed them downstairs but paused outside the suite, sizing up a passing waiter and pondering.

Not long after, Yun Hao donned the waiter's uniform, having knocked the waiter unconscious and dragged him into a nearby room. After the mission ends, he plans to find a good opportunity to compensate the guy properly.

Transformed into a waiter, Yun Hao entered the room carrying dishes alongside other waitstaff!

"Manager Zhao, I'm honored to dine with you this time. I managed to get a piece of Southern Jade by chance, which offers great health benefits when worn long-term!"

Li Zhongzhuo, with a gentle smile, presents a Jade Pendant to Zhao Shishi.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, but this gift is too precious; I cannot accept it!" Smiling at the Southern Jade, Zhao Shishi graciously declines.

"While it may be precious to others, to Manager Zhao, it's merely the most ordinary accessory!

Hell, trash, this little trick of yours, I've mastered it ages ago." After arranging the dishes, Yun Hao didn't exit like other waitstaff, rather stood arrogantly at the side.

"Thanks again, but I already have a necklace on, and I don't plan on taking it off!" Zhao Shishi again refuses to accept the Jade Pendant, instead showing the Ice Crystal Mermaid Stone necklace around her neck to Li Zhongzhuo with a blissful expression.

That's the girl I picked indeed; obviously, I have good taste, and so does Zhao Shishi!

"Oh, then, the person who gave Manager Zhao the necklace must be very important to you?"

"Yes, my boyfriend gifted it to me!"

Listening to Zhao Shishi's words, Yun Hao nearly felt euphoric; look, look, that's what a well-trained wife is about. Even such a proud woman like Zhao Shishi behaves outside, right?

However, just as Yun Hao felt like floating, Zhao Shishi's next words brought him crashing down into the dust.

"Unfortunately, he's already passed away, so this necklace is his final relic left to me..."

What the heck? I'm dead? Crap, how am I dead without knowing it?

Yun Hao was dumbfounded, displaying a husky-smitten expression.

Zhao Shishi is up to something here, cursing me dead? What is she trying to do? Could she be planning to cuckold me? No way, that's absolutely unacceptable!

"Manager Zhao, one must look forward; why not discard this necklace and start anew in love?" Seeing the chance, Li Zhongzhuo decisively sought to advance his conquest.

"Can I really start anew?" Zhao Shishi feigned hesitation, inwardly observing the people moving inside and out, as the suite's door was not closed, revealing those passing outside easily.

Xiaoyan called her, telling her Yun Hao would come and explained there had been prior secrets concerning Yun Hao, but despite observing for long, she hadn't found Yun Hao.

"You can, as long as Manager Zhao is willing to move on from the past relationship, you can definitely start anew!" Li Zhongzhuo seized the moment, believing Zhao Shishi's psychological defenses to be most fragile and easiest to breach.

Admittedly, Li Zhongzhuo's approach was commendable here; he knew Zhao Shishi lived in the same villa as Yun Hao's group but was unaware of Yun Hao's close relationship with Zhao. Hence he assumed Zhao Shishi's so-called deceased former boyfriend was just expendable.
