    She thought that the superstar had fallen sick and was taking this chance to rest. By the looks of it, the reality might not be that simple!


    <i>Has he truly been cklisted? Really?</i>


    She knew, deep down, that this was no hoax, for the news hade from her manager. There was no need for him to lie to her about such things, after all.


    Still...


    Why was the superstar cklisted?


    She gave her agent a perplexed look which spelled her disbelief and confusion.


    “Why was he cklisted?”


    The man did not know what to say.


    Tensing the corner of her lips, she probed cautiously. “Is something going on that is unconfirmed, or... has he offended a bigshot, who caused him to be cklisted?”


    “Let me ask you: Do you know Gu Xingze’s identity?”


    His sudden question caught her off guard.


    Bewildered, she shook her head.


    “Then, do you know that there’s a Gu family in the capital?”


    Her eyes lit up with a start, and she turned speechless.


    <i>The Gu family in the capital?</i>


    She hade across hearsays about that family, but her knowledge about them was superficial at best.


    The Gus here started out as a mafia ring. Subsequently, they managed to turn over a new leaf and established a proper corporation in themercial arena. Now, their power extended to the high society and the underworld. Although they could not match the Mus, their influence in the criminal world could be said to be on par with thetter.


    Within the capital, the Gus were the most powerful next to the Mus.


    All the underground casinos and gambling dens in the capital were controlled by that mafia family.


    In a vige within the capital at East Street, they had amassed arge gang.


    There was a Chinese saying that highlighted the ills of offending a mobsterpared to a gentleman.


    The Gus might not be thugs, but whoever offended them would definitely get a taste of their cruelty!

    There was a story in the past.


    The son of a high-ranking, office-bearer in the capital had lost a big loan in a casino at East Street. The man refused to pay it off and, instead, boasted about his father’s power to the gangsters who hade looking for him. ‘My father is Dai Jianqing! There’s nobody in the capital who doesn’t know him, so how dare you chase me for money still?! All of you are small fries who know no better! Beware: My father may just destroy what you have at East Street if I make aint!”


    The thugs merelyughed it off and forcefully took the arrogant man away in their car.


    What had happened next terrified those who heard the storyter.


    ording to rumors, the fellow continued his high-and-mighty attitude after being taken away. Besides attacking his abductors with supercilious words, he even boasted that he could wipe out the Gu family.


    Unfortunately, his wordsnded on the ears of Gu Jinglian, the big demon in charge of that family, so one could guess the eventual demise of that mboyant man.


    Both his hands and one leg were chopped off without mercy.


    They kept him locked and tortured for half a month before releasing him. By then, the man had turned crazy and his family had to send him to a mental asylum for treatment.


    This frightening incident had alerted even the high-level bureaucrats, but none dared to say a word when they found out that the perpetrators were people of the Gu family.


    When Dai Jianqing saw his son again, thetter had already lost his mind and was without three of his limbs. During one of his visits, his son let out a howl and begged for mercy, ‘Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! Please let me go—’
