"Celebrity? Are you saying she's the same as them?"

As soon as Gu Bai finished speaking, Jung Soo-yeon, Zheng Xiujing, and Lin Yun'er all sensibly removed the masks from their faces.

"Then why can they appear in public?"

Lee Ji-eun's assistant was startled at the sight of the three of them.

Working in the Goryeo entertainment industry, especially as Lee Ji-eun's assistant, it was impossible not to recognize the three of them. In terms of personal influence alone, Jung Soo-yeon and Lin Yun'er were not any less influential than Lee Ji-eun. It was only because Zheng Xiujing debuted later that her influence was slightly lacking. For three celebrities who could be considered top idols in Goryeo to appear beside a man simultaneously, even if Lee Ji-eun's assistant were naive, it would be clear that Gu Bai's identity was extraordinary.

"I have no interest in saying too much to you. Go back and tell Lee Ji-eun that I'm waiting for her here for five minutes. If she doesn't show up after five minutes, then don't bother coming."

With that, Gu Bai glanced at Jung Soo-yeon, who then poured half a glass of champagne into Gu Bai's glass.

"Just go and tell IU, I was the one who invited her over."

Lin Yun'er spoke up at just the right moment.

Lee Ji-eun's assistant nodded solemnly and said to Gu Bai, "Please wait, sir; I'll report to IU immediately."

Gu Bai, with a casual expression, gently shook the champagne glass in his hand, watching the transparent bubbles rise without responding.

Watching Lee Ji-eun's assistant leave, Gu Bai downed the champagne in his glass in one gulp. Then he stood up and tidied his slightly wrinkled clothes, before speaking softly to Lin Yun'er, "When Lee Ji-eun comes later, tell her that if she's willing, I can pay her breach of contract penalty directly, and let her become one of the first wave of artists to be promoted after S·M Company and YG Entertainment merge, like you guys. If she doesn't believe it, just have my assistant call Lee Boo-jin.

As for what she will have to offer, I don't need to spell it out, do I?"

Lin Yun'er nodded seriously with a solemn face.

Seeing this, Gu Bai didn't say much more and directly turned around to head toward the nearby nanny car.

Although Gu Bai was somewhat interested in Lee Ji-eun, there was no need to stay here personally to promise anything. Some things were better left for Lin Yun'er, who was more familiar with Lee Ji-eun, to say. As for why he'd have Lin Yun'er make the call to Lee Boo-jin, the logic was very simple: on Goryeo's turf, Eldest Princess Lee Boo-jin's reputation was far greater than his, Gu Bai's.

..............

In the nanny car, Gu Bai rested his left foot on his right knee and leaned back against the chair, comfortably closing his eyes.

Jung Soo-yeon stood behind him, using her long fingers to gently massage his temples, while Zheng Xiujing sat beside him, kneading the muscles in his leg.

If this scene were seen by the fans of these sister idols, they might have their hearts shattered enough to fill several trucks; how could they accept their goddesses serving the same man together?

But judging by their expressions, there was no sign of resistance; rather, they seemed to somewhat enjoy it.

Gu Bai had been sitting in the nanny car for over half an hour, waiting for news from Lin Yun'er.

Suddenly, the sound of the door of the nanny car opening was heard, and Gu Yi, who had been standing by the door all along, opened it.

Standing outside, Lin Yun'er was there, alongside a girl with equal looks, none other than Lee Ji-eun. Perhaps the five minutes Gu Bai gave was too short; Lee Ji-eun didn't even have time to change out of her performance attire, standing beside Lin Yun'er. However, as the night was so dark, Gu Bai couldn't make out her facial expression.

But none of that mattered; the fact that Lee Ji-eun and Lin Yun'er appeared here together was enough to explain everything.

With this, Gu Bai revealed a small smile at the corner of his mouth and chuckled softly, "Get in and sit down; it's pretty cold outside."

Upon hearing Gu Bai's words, Lin Yun'er hurried to pull a somewhat reserved Lee Ji-eun onto the car.

Suddenly, Gu Yi, who had been maintaining a calm demeanor, seemed to sense something amiss. In a quick motion, he pushed Lin Yun'er and Gu Yi onto the car hurriedly as they let out cries of pain, not knowing what had happened.

But Gu Yi had no time to explain further; his two-meter-tall body blocked the car door, right at the spot where Gu Bai's body was exposed.

"Bang!"

A huge sound rang out, seemingly from a great distance, and a muffled sound came from within Gu Yi's body as he blocked the door, with a bloody bullet hole suddenly appearing on his shoulder, with bright red blood splashing onto Lin Yun'er and Lee Ji-eun's faces.

Both of them hadn't yet figured out what had happened when Gu Yi quickly shut the door.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Duang! Duang! Duang!"

After three successive loud noises, metal clashing sounds were heard on the bulletproof glass, causing Lin Yun'er to touch the blood splashed on her face, and she let out a deafening scream.

"Someone wants to kill us."

Faced with this situation, Gu Bai's mind was instantly flooded with this thought.

Gu Bai was fine. Although this was his first time experiencing such a situation, he placed quite a bit of trust in the four bodyguard robots, remaining relatively calm despite having a pale face.

But Lin Yun'er and the others were different. They were just twenty-something-year-old girls, unused to such circumstances, and they hid in various corners of the nanny car, letting out deafening screams.

Outside the nanny car, 20 Soldier King Level bodyguards who had been following from afar instantly rushed towards Gu Bai.

The bodyguards Samsung Group had assigned to Gu Bai also followed along.

Suddenly, the car was hit with a fierce impact, which caused Gu Bai to fall off his seat from the shock, but through the car window, it could be clearly seen that several people got out of a black, unmarked car in front, shooting at the tires, with gunfire sounding continuously.

Gu Bai's mind was blank.

Since his rebirth, Gu Bai had been worried about this day arriving, but when faced with this scene, he didn't know what to do next. Fortunately, this nanny car was a bulletproof model custom-made by Lee Kun-hee. Not to mention regular bullets; even large sniper rifles at a distance would struggle to pierce the car's body. As long as Gu Bai hid in this metal turtle and the bodyguards weren't all dead, he wouldn't be in mortal danger.

The riskiest wave had been blocked by Gu Yi with his own body.

By now it was eleven o'clock at night, and there weren't many people on the streets of Jeju Island, just a few scattered groups out enjoying the night scenery. A few tourists not far from Gu Bai were caught off guard by the situation, screaming as they ran back in the direction they had come from.

Goryeo, though controlled by capital, wasn't the Beautiful Country; gun-related incidents were indeed rare. Such large-scale street gunfights were mostly seen in films, and many wouldn't encounter them in their lifetime.

Dozens of bodyguards arrived from afar, and those attacking Gu Bai began to flee as things seemed unfeasible.

Meanwhile, Gu Yi remained by the car door, standing watch without giving chase.

In his programming, Gu Bai's life safety was paramount, and nothing else mattered.

Gunfire persisted, and Lin Yun'er and the others kept screaming.

But Gu Bai didn't pay them much mind, hiding behind the seat and peering through the window to observe the situation outside.

A few minutes later, police sirens began ringing out.

With such a major street shooting incident, Goryeo police responded reasonably quickly. Through the car window, Gu Bai saw a larger group of individuals in Goryeo police uniforms promptly encircle the area.

Seeing this, Gu Bai felt somewhat relieved.

Official forces getting involved indicated that the situation was stabilizing.

Gu Yi held the gun firmly, guarding the door closely. Even when the gunfire ceased, he didn't budge. Though curious about checking outside, Gu Bai abandoned the idea; who knew if these people might launch a surprise counterattack? There was no need to take such risks.

Lin Yun'er and the others remained curled up in the corners of the nanny car, shivering, though far less hysterical than before.

About ten minutes later, the door was opened, and Gu Yi, covered in blood, said to Gu Bai, "Boss, it's over."

A few officers in Goryeo police uniforms also approached to walk through the procedures.

However, Gu Bai had no mood to interact with them, as his mind raced to figure out who wanted to kill him. Fearing for his life, the first thought that crossed his mind was that he couldn't stay in Goryeo anymore.

Eventually, Gu Bai was driven to the local police station in the nanny car, which was far more secure than the police cars.

Upon receiving the news, Lee Boo-jin immediately set out to Jeju Island and also informed Lee Kun-hee and Lee Jae-yong.
