Kong Sang's call was only the first.
Gu Sheng had barely fallen asleep before the calls started coming one after another.
Gu Sheng simply buried his head beneath the pillow. Instead, Lok Wai-ching was woken up and sleepily shoved the Big Brother Phone into his hands. Then she saw the time on the wall and instantly snapped awake.
"Ah! I have to go to the newspaper office! I'm done for, I'm done for..."
Crash!
Lok Wai-ching had just jumped out of bed to wash up when a Big Brother Phone smashed against the wall and shattered.
At last, it was quiet.
At noon, Gu Sheng sat on the bed, staring at the pieces of the Big Brother Phone on the floor, his expression shifting.
"That woman Lok Wai-ching smashed my Big Brother Phone?"
"Fuck! You think I won't leave you unable to get out of bed?"
Gu Sheng picked up the landline and called reception. "Is Leung Siu-tong downstairs? Send him up!"
Gu Sheng came to this hotel often, and Leung Siu-tong had recently hooked up with the receptionist.
His gaze swept over the table, where he spotted a business card Lok Wai-ching had left behind.
A short while later, there was a knock at the door.
"Brother Sheng!" Leung Siu-tong held several newspapers. "Brother Sheng, you're in the papers!"
Gu Sheng took the newspapers and pointed at the rubbish in the corner. "Take that and buy a new one. Hurry up. Meet me at Tai Wing Wah afterward."
Leung Siu-tong went to buy a Big Brother Phone and get a number, while Gu Sheng took the newspapers downstairs to read over morning tea.
"Even dead, they have to make the headlines. That's the Lee Family for you!" Gu Sheng sneered as he opened the first paper.
