As for the other paparazzo, he was looking at the Bugatti Chiron through his camera, lost in thought.
"What's up?"
One paparazzo asked him.
"Haven't you noticed this car looks familiar?"
"Familiar? Do you know who the owner is? Damn! Tell us quick. If we find out the guy's identity, our bonus will probably double!"
Upon hearing this, the paparazzo sighed and said, "You better hope this car doesn't belong to the person I'm thinking of. If it really is, our scoop will be shot down the moment it reaches the editor, let alone get us a bonus."
"?"
The two were puzzled.
"This car is the Bugatti Chiron Sky Legend, the only one in Hua Country. It was previously used for display by the Yao Lai Group, and was purchased recently. As for the buyer's identity...
Black Swan Group, Gu Bai."
Hearing his words, the two were momentarily stunned.
They were aware of Gu Bai's fearsome reputation in the entertainment industry. It wasn't just his status but his methods of sealing off threats at will. There's an unwritten rule in the industry: even if by accident you snap pictures of big shots, you can't publish them, lest you face retaliation.
Now they're at a crossroads. Having figured out Gu Bai is in the car, should they still leak the scoop on Di Li Ruo Ba?
After a few seconds, one of the paparazzi said sharply, "Doesn't matter, I don't even know who's in the car anyway. Let's just keep this to ourselves and let the higher-ups decide! I've been out in the cold for so long for these shots, I can't just toss them away."
Before his colleague could respond, the streetlight's glow was suddenly blocked.
Several people looked up.
Four large men in suits stood right in front of them.
Leading them was a burly man, two meters tall, Gu Bai's robot bodyguard, Gu Yi.
Gu Yi wasted no words, extending his hand towards them, saying, "Hand it over."
Gu Yi's intimidation was overpowering. Three paparazzi stared at him, instantly stuttering.
"Wh... What is it?"
Without further waste of time, Gu Yi grabbed one of the paparazzi's cameras and smashed it to the ground, and the valuable camera shattered into pieces.
The paparazzo, watching his livelihood destroyed, was filled with distress but dared not react.
"Do you two want me to smash yours, or will you do it yourselves?"
Gu Yi's words struck like a decree, issuing an immediate order.
The burly men stared directly at them, their presence engulfing like a rising tide.
The two gritted their teeth and smashed their cameras fiercely to the ground as well.
Gu Yi let the black-suited bodyguards beside him search for memory cards, then told them, "From today, inform everyone in the paparazzi circle that there is to be no more photography regarding Di Li Ruo Ba. If they have any objections, let them talk to my boss."
Finishing, Gu Yi turned and walked toward a nearby Maybach, ready to continue following Gu Bai.
Suddenly, a paparazzo shouted at Gu Yi, "May I ask who your boss is?"
Gu Yi did not look back, directly getting into the Maybach. As the car slowly started, Gu Yi's voice came through the window.
"Gu Bai."
The voice faded as the Maybach's engine hummed away.
The three paparazzi heard the name and could only sigh, crouching down to gather the pieces of their broken cameras.
...........
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Gu Bai had already brought Di Li Ruo Ba to a Darry Jewelry boutique.
Having made a reservation, as soon as they entered, the store manager personally greeted Gu Bai.
The entire store had closed early due to Gu Bai's visit, and there were no other customers at this time.
"Welcome, Chairman Gu, to Darry Jewelry."
As for Di Li Ruo Ba, standing by Gu Bai's side, there was no particular concealment as before, and as soon as the sales staff saw her, their gossip-loving hearts ignited.
Unexpectedly, Gu Bai had a connection with Di Li Ruo Ba.
"Is what I asked you to prepare ready?"
"Chairman Gu, please come this way."
Gesturing with both hands, the manager led Gu Bai to another jewelry counter.
On the counter lay over a dozen rings of various styles, prepared in advance, appearing extraordinarily dazzling under the glittering lights.
"This is the most premium selection of diamond rings in our Capital City Darry Jewelry, Chairman Gu, please take a look."
Gu Bai didn't hold back, casually picking up one of the rings. The manager immediately began to introduce it to Gu Bai: "This ring is one of our Darry Jewelry DR diamonds, a precious piece named 'Lover's Heart.' The main diamond is 5.20 carats, symbolizing lovers' sweet words, 520, plus 11 auxiliary diamonds representing wholehearted dedication."
Gu Bai's aesthetic towards diamond rings was indifferent. He glanced briefly and directly handed it to Di Li Ruo Ba, saying, "Try it on."
"Ah?"
"Don't like it?"
She hadn't expected that at ten o'clock at night, Gu Bai's plan was to buy her diamond rings. Her heart couldn't help but flutter a few times.
"If you don't like it, we can change it."
"I like it!"
Finishing, she eagerly snatched the Lover's Heart from Gu Bai's hand.
The diamond ring, shimmering with romantic light, adorned Di Li Ruo Ba's hand, and her well-defined knuckles were highlighted alluringly by the luxurious ring.
Di Li Ruo Ba shook her hand in front of Gu Bai, then slowly placed it by her collarbone, smiling, "Does it look good?"
Gu Bai nodded in satisfaction.
"How much does this ring cost?"
"This ring was meticulously designed and crafted by our Darry Jewelry masters, the only one in the World."
Gu Bai directly interrupted him, furrowing his brows, "I just want to know the price."
"5.2 million."
"Wrap it up."
The manager was stunned for a moment. From Gu Bai entering the store to asking about the price, just a minute had passed, and he was already buying it?
But his professional instinct quickly kicked in, and he hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, Chairman Gu, we need your ID for registration."
"Such a hassle?"
Gu Bai grumbled but nonetheless handed over his ID, respecting their protocol.
He then continued, "Also, pack 10 more rings of similar caliber."
The ten members of his entourage were waiting, and favoritism was not an option.
The manager quickly replied, "It's like this, what you're looking at belongs to our Darry Jewelry DR series, where each man can only purchase one ring. If you need more, I can show you other series for your selection."
"?"
Gu Bai directly stared at the manager.
Gu Bai's gaze was intensely compelling. The manager of the Darry Jewelry store found it hard to resist, his face turning pale, lowering his head involuntarily.
"Am I not paying?"
"It's not that. Our DR rings have always insisted on each man customizing only one with their ID, as a gift to their true love in this life, symbolizing 'One Lifetime · One True Love...'
"Don't tell me so much, just wrap them up. I'm here for your gimmick. Otherwise, with so many top jewelers in the World, why would I choose you?
If you're incapable of making this decision, I'll have someone contact your CEO directly."
What true love for life?
Just a gimmick. In his past life, Gu Bai knew someone who used this DR diamond gimmick to deceive many girls.
As for true love? Just crush its baseline with money.
