Wan Jia got angrier when she read the article again. Underneath were her drafts against the corresponding outfits produced by those studios.

She took a picture of the page and sent it to Lin Lihua. Before facing Lu Aotian's wrath, she had to let Qing Tai Media face Lin Lihua first.

Then she dialled a number. It got connected after a few rings and the other party seemed in disbelief.

"W..Wanwan?"

Wan Jia instantly started her barrage of words. "Drop the act Yun Xuan. You know why I called, don't you?"

"I indeed don't." came the reply after a short while.

"Oh?" Wan Jia snorted. "Then can you explain why your oh so wonderful studio produced my work?"

"Huh?" Yun Xuan sounded shocked and went silent for a while before she replied. "Are you talking about the new silk dress that was produced yesterday? I thought it was close to your style too but Ran Ran told me you are her idol. How could I have been stupid to believe her?"

Yun Xuan thought of something and shrieked. "Wanwan, please tell President Lu not to destroy my studio. I'll handle this matter properly, okay?"

Wan Jia did not listen to her and hung up. Why was Yun Xuan pretending it had nothing to do with her? Why can't she just become an actress? She might even be better than Sis Lihua.

Yun Xuan, on the other hand, was scared when Wan Jia hung up on her. She was at home at the time and rushed to her studio. "Tell Ran Ran to come to my office right now!" she ordered her secretary.

However, she was too late. Ran Ran and two other designers were currently in an interrogation room owned by Lu Aotian.

Although he called it an interrigation room, it was more of a torture room with the smell of death right in the air.

The two men and one girl were not even tied up. Lu Aotian knew they were not brave enough to try anything funny.

"Who hired you?" he asked with a grave expression.

No matter how strong the two men were, Ran Ran shook in fear and burst into tears. "It...it was a man that I don't know. I don't even remember how he looks. He gave me the draft and told me to release it and....and if I tell anyone about it, he would chop off my tongue."

Lu Aotian frowned. "That man should have told you, he is not the only one who knows how to chop tongues off."

He was blatantly threatening her. Under Ran Ran's nervous look, he signalled a man behind him. The man understood and without batting an eye, took a knife and went towards Ran Ran. He looked at another bulky man who stepped foward and helped him open the girl's mouth.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! " the girl made inaudible sounds as her mouth was being pressed but Lu Aotian understood it and stopped the men.

She sobbed. "I really don't know that man but I can describe him perfectly."

Lu Aotian signalled a man who knew how to draw.

"He...he has red curly hair, black eyes...." she described him as well as she could remember and when the artist was done, she exclaimed, "That's him!"

Lu Aotian took the drawing and observed it. Then he looked at the two men. They were so scared that they almost fainted. Before they spoke, he warned them. "Liars get their tongues chopped off."

Their plan for making the same description as Ran Ran went south. In the end, it turned out to be three different men.

"The three of you know what to do." with that, he left.

As they were being escorted out, they asked each other, "What does he mean, know what to do?"

"I guess he means not to tell anyone about this. Honestly I wouldn't dare."

"I bet it's that too."

The bulky man behind them sneered at them. "Boss means you should apologize to Miss Wan Jia publicly and disappear from the fashion industry."

"W-what?" they were all shocked.

"Do you have any opinions?"

"No. No opinions." They would rather keep their lives.

...

Lu Aotian placed the three drawings on his desk. Lu Shaoting, who he had called to his office, frowned as he looked at them.

"I've never seen any of them before, but I'm an alien from space if they are not General Yun's men."

Lu Aotian looked at him. "You are an alien. They are Yun Jifeng's."

Lu Shaoting frowned. "What would Yun Jifeng gain from this? On the other hand, if Lu Enterprises' subsidiaries get into trouble, General Yun would gain because the weaker Lu Enterprises is, the easier it is for him to conquer it."

Lu Aotian massaged his temple. "Turns out my little brother has been swayed silly by love. Do you really think he would continue doing his dirty deeds himself when he knows I'm keeping watch on him? Of course he would use someone else as a weapon, and Yun Jifeng just happens to be that weapon."

Lu Shaoting looked on in awe. "My brother is always the wisest."

"Mmh. So, Alien Shaoting, my wife's phone is switched off. Help me call her over for lunch."
