Chapter 24: Gu Chuan’s True Identity

Jiang Feng had saved Gu Chuan by chance when he was just seven years old.

Back then, Gu Chuan was skinny and small, covered in dirt, but his eyes were bright, fierce, and resilient.

Jiang Feng had offered to take him in as an adopted son and sponsor his education, but Gu Chuan refused.

All he asked was for Jiang Feng to send him to the Golden Triangle, a place filled with bloodshed and violence, a realm of absolute darkness.

Afterward, Jiang Feng kept an eye on the Golden Triangle and learned that a fierce character had emerged there, eliminating the most powerful gang and causing turmoil throughout the region, with violence and chaos everywhere.

A few years later, someone united the Golden Triangle, and this person was known by the codename “Xiao.”

Twenty years later, Gu Chuan sought out Jiang Feng to repay his debt, and through a twist of fate, he became the bodyguard of Jiang Feng’s eldest daughter.

“No one really knows his true background, not even I. I only vaguely suspect that he’s connected to Xiao Long.”

Xiao Long is the top-ranked mercenary group, which could also be considered an assassin organization.

In the original storyline, there was a brief mention that Xiao Long was related to the multinational company Amixx.

Perhaps…

“Mimi, remember your father’s words: never offend him,” Jiang Feng warned seriously.

Jiang Mi snapped back to reality and replied with a hum, “What if I’ve already offended him?”

Jiang Feng’s expression shattered. “!!!”

After leaving the study, Jiang Mi was in high spirits, ready to find Gu Chuan for a chat to strengthen their bond.

But just then, she received a call from her manager, Zhao Xiaomin, which dampened her mood.

In the original storyline, Zhao Xiaomin was a fan of Shen Mingxuan, worshiping him to the point of unhealthy obsession.

To Zhao Xiaomin, the original Jiang Mi was nothing but rotten, stubborn mud, not worthy of even a strand of Shen Mingxuan’s hair.

So, Zhao Xiaomin loathed the original Jiang Mi, even willing to sacrifice her career to plot against her.

But she treated Bai Ruoruo like a little angel, going to great lengths to please her. The reason?

Partly because the heroine had an irresistible charm that attracted everyone, male and female alike.

And partly because the heroine always claimed to be Shen Mingxuan’s god-sister, and Zhao Xiaomin, wanting to climb up to the position of his wife, naturally tried to please the “sister.”

Later in the storyline, when Zhao Xiaomin learned the truth, she turned dark and sought revenge on the heroine, only to be decisively dealt with by the male lead she loved most.

It all sounded foolish and pitiful.

…

Half an hour later, Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan entered the company building. With their stunning looks, they immediately drew the attention of many onlookers.

“Wow, what a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. They make such a perfect pair.”

“Are they newly signed artists? Their looks are off the charts—they’re sure to become famous.”

“I strongly suggest we ship them as a couple. Just standing together, they look perfect for each other.”

Someone snapped a side profile photo of Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan and posted it in the company group chat, which Zhao Xiaomin happened to see. Her eyes lit up, and she felt an overwhelming urge to act.

Although the entertainment industry is full of handsome men and beautiful women, top-tier looks are still rare.

Even in a blurry photo, their superior bone structure and exceptional aura were evident. With the right packaging, they were sure to become stars.

Zhao Xiaomin immediately forgot about staying in the conference room to scold Jiang Mi. She hurried downstairs, afraid that another sharp-eyed manager might sign them first.

Just as she put away her phone, someone posted a clearer, full-face photo in the group chat, followed by a string of shocked replies.

—It’s Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan!!!

But Zhao Xiaomin didn’t see any of that. She was rushing down in her high heels, and just as the two were about to enter the elevator, she quickly called out to them.

Her voice was dripping with flattery and eagerness.

“Miss, Sir, please wait! I’m a manager at Chenxing Entertainment. Would you be interested in signing a contract to become artists?”
