"Ding~"

Yan Huan came to the first floor of Golden Lion International to press the elevator button alone when she noticed that all the elevators upstairs were heading downward.

An Le and Sakuragi Hitomi were both here, so Yan Huan didn't call Ye Shiyu to come along.

Originally, Yan Huan thought it was normal foot traffic, but several elevators simultaneously stopped on the first floor, and crowded Golden Lion Group employees rushed out.

"Tap tap tap..."

"..."

Employees all around scrambled out of the elevators, many glancing at their phones while walking, seemingly sharing some big gossip with friends via Plane.

Or perhaps, it was simply because they suddenly didn't need to work, so they took the chance to relax with a smile on their faces.

What on earth happened?

Yan Huan glanced around at the employees walking past her, carrying coffee, equipment, and even a white cat…

"Meow?"

The cute white cat seemed quite timid, burying its head nervously in its owner's chest.

Respecting privacy, Yan Huan merely took another glance at the chubby white cat before looking up at the floors above.

Is there a war up there?

"..."

Yan Huan recalled which floor these elevators had descended from, realizing it was exactly where Golden Lion Entertainment was located.

"Hey hey, what's going on, did anyone hear?"

"Oh my, that shrew is just too outrageous…"

Listening to the vague conversations around her, Yan Huan didn't hesitate, she was about to press the "up" button for the elevator but suddenly felt like someone was watching her...

"Hmm?"

Yan Huan quickly looked around, catching a fleeting glimpse of stardust.

But upon trying to discern who it was, she only saw the backs of countless employees.

"..."

Yan Huan blinked and pressed the "up" elevator button.

"Ding~"

Soon, Yan Huan arrived at the floor where Golden Lion Entertainment was located.

The elevator door had just opened when the inside chaos startled Yan Huan.

She saw the office with the Golden Lion Entertainment sign covered in fallen documents, with office chairs overturned everywhere, looking as if it had been ransacked.

What's going on?

Has the modifier appeared again?

"Ahhhhhh!!"

Just as Yan Huan was surveying the surroundings, a "battle cry" suddenly emerged from the depths of an office far away.

Yan Huan found the sound familiar, seemingly belonging to the woman named "Zuo Jiangqin."

Covering her ears to avoid the sharp female screech, Yan Huan curiously moved towards the source. Just then, the previously closed door of the break room suddenly opened, and a pair of hands reached out to grab Yan Huan.

"Xiao Huan…"

"An Le?"

Yan Huan turned her head to see An Le and Miyake Huhu huddling furtively inside the break room; Miyake Huhu even put an index finger to her lips.

As if they were hiding in this "safe haven" to seek refuge.

"??"

Yan Huan found it strange and glanced at the office where the battle cry continued before following suit into the break room.

"Click~"

The door closed, and Miyake Huhu behind An Le finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That damned woman didn't come around, did she?"

"...What's going on?"

At that moment, Miyake Huhu spoke, and Yan Huan realized she was clutching a graphics tablet like a treasure, afraid the demons outside would find it.

In reality, the comic company An Le now signed with belonged to Golden Lion Entertainment, which covered a variety of businesses in the entertainment and culture sector, including erotic manga and books.

That's why they were here.

But as for the studio, they basically brought their own equipment, not relying on company assets, so Miyake Huhu cherished her graphics tablet dearly.

Upon hearing Yan Huan's inquiry, An Le pursed her lips and explained,

"Xiao Huan, didn't you mention Bai Yi's name before? This morning, when I went to the studio, I saw people from Golden Lion Entertainment approach Bai Yi's mother, Zuo Jiangqin, to talk about Bai Yi…"

"Bai Yi… wasn't she missing?"

Yan Huan thought it was a typical business accountability issue stemming from Bai Yi's disappearance, but An Le shook her head in confusion upon hearing this,

"Missing? Bai Yi isn't missing, is she?"

"Hmm?"

Yan Huan blinked, and Miyake Huhu by her side chimed in, nodding toward her chin,

"I heard it, Golden Lion Entertainment's boss William said Bai Yi met him these past few days… But whatever he said to Zuo Jiangqin, it made her go nuts…"

Miyake Huhu sighed, wiping sweat from her forehead,

"She rolled on the floor as if she were mad, smashing office items… Everyone on this floor got scared off, I bet soon security or the police will show up…"

Bai Yi…

Came to see Golden Lion Entertainment's boss?

And recently?!

"..."

Yan Huan squinted and turned to walk toward the door, intending to push it open to uncover more details about William meeting Bai Yi.

As she twisted the door handle to leave, the office erupted again with Zuo Jiangqin's anguished screams,

"You liars!! How could Yiyi do this?! It must be you… You're lying!!"

"Tap tap tap tap…"

Coincidentally, Yahashiki and Ashley also hurriedly clutched their ears and ran over from the other end of the corridor.

"Hey hey, President?"

"… Why are you guys down here too?"

Sakuragi Hitomi, Yahashiki, and Ashley all worked upstairs, yet surprisingly came down because of Zuo Jiangqin's incident.

"Well, once everyone heard there was a ruckus, they either took the opportunity to slack off or came down to watch the excitement… Who would work when there's gossip to catch?"
