The hall was still ringing with Jasmine's final words when suddenly a sound broke the silence.
Clap. Clap. Clap.
Everyone froze. The sound of clapping was neither loud nor soft, but it carried a weight that made the air freeze in place. All eyes turned toward the entrance.
From the shadows, a young man slowly walked in. His steps were steady, his face calm, but his eyes gleamed with amusement.
It was Gu Jihu.
The moment people saw him, the atmosphere became even heavier. No one expected him to appear here. Even Jasmine blinked in surprise, her lips parting slightly.
Gu Jihu looked straight at Mr. Long, then chuckled. "I have seen shameless people before," he said, his voice smooth but filled with mockery. "But never have I seen someone as shameless as you, Mr. Long."
The entire hall went silent. Everyone froze.
Wasn't this the exact same thing Jasmine had said before?
