The night highway stretched dark and endless as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan sped forward.
Su Yang turned on some music, savoring this moment of solitude. The premium Bespoke audio system of the Rolls-Royce delivered a theater-like experience, immersing him completely.
With a cigarette between his lips and one hand on the steering wheel, Su Yang heard his WeChat ring. He glanced at the screen and answered. Pan Ning's voice came through.
"Are you coming back tonight?"
"Yeah, why? Miss me already?" Su Yang grinned.
"Mhm, I do~"
"Oh? Is Qianyu not around? You’re being unusually direct."
Pan Ning replied calmly, "She’s not here. I actually called to let you know I had to go back home for some family matters. Qianyu left too after I did. I didn’t have time to tell you earlier."
"Went home? When did you leave?"
"This afternoon. Something came up at home, so I had to go back."
Su Yang nodded. "Oh, anything serious? Need my help?"
"No, just an important guest visiting. My dad wanted me there. Nothing major~"
Su Yang thought for a moment. "Alright then. I was actually looking forward to catching up with you tonight~"
Pan Ning rolled her eyes on the other end. "All you ever think about is chatting. By the way, the piano I bought for you has arrived. Some of the other packages have been signed for, but the rest are waiting for you to pick up."
Su Yang chuckled. "Got it..." Before he could say more, Pan Ning cut in. "Alright, I gotta go. My dad’s calling. Bye."
"Sure~"
After hanging up, Su Yang muttered to himself, "An important guest? Probably some relative. Whatever, I’ll ask later."
Switching to a rap track, he accelerated, vanishing down the highway.

At 9:45 PM, Su Yang drove through the Haicheng toll gate and soon entered the bustling city center.
"Where should I stay tonight?"
"The villa feels too empty, and I’m not used to it yet. Might as well go to Senhai. I can switch cars there..."
Just as he was thinking, the roaring engine of a Ferrari 488 Pista erupted from behind him.
Su Yang glanced at the left rearview mirror, spotting the bright red sports car rapidly approaching.
He smirked. "That 488’s exhaust is insane—almost as loud as a Lambo."
As the Ferrari closed in, Su Yang took another look and paused. "Huh? That license plate looks familiar."
"Wait… Xia Li!!"
"That’s her car! No wonder it seemed familiar~"
Vroom!!
Before he could react, the 488 zoomed past him on the left.
Su Yang grinned. "Oh, you’re not getting away that easily!" He floored the accelerator, chasing after the Ferrari.
Luckily, the city traffic kept speeds in check. On the open highway, he’d have had no chance—not that he even knew why he was chasing her.
After tailing her for two blocks, Su Yang watched as the 488 turned right into an open parking lot outside an office building.
"Seriously? Coming to an office building this late?"
"Working overtime? Damn, that’s dedication."
Then it hit him. He looked up at the building’s location.
"Wait… isn’t this where Xingling Media—the company the system gave me—is based?"
"What’s Xia Li doing here?"
Pulling into the parking lot, the gate automatically lifted. He eased the Cullinan inside, where Xia Li had already stepped out of her Ferrari.
But instead of heading toward the building, she stopped and turned to face him.
Su Yang drove up beside her and rolled down the window.
"Long time no see, Xia Li~" He flashed a bright smile.
"Su… Su Yang?" Xia Li stared in disbelief.
Leaning on the window, Su Yang waved. "Hello there."
"You… President Su? Is that really you?"
"Huh?" Su Yang frowned. "Why ‘President Su’ all of a sudden?"
Xia Li exhaled and smiled faintly. "How about you park first? I’ll explain."
"Sure." He pulled into a spot and got out, walking over to her.
Xia Li tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and approached. "I was wondering who’d been following me all night~"
"Just to clarify, I wasn’t stalking you. You just overtook me, and my instincts kicked in."
Xia Li gave him a sultry smile. "No worries. I just didn’t expect it to be you."
Tonight, she wore a sleek black deep-V bodycon dress, her chestnut waves cascading over her shoulders. Her makeup was flawless as always, and she carried a silver-gray Hermès bag, paired with black stilettos.
The dress hugged her curves perfectly, and under the dim evening lights, she looked irresistibly alluring.
Before Su Yang could speak, she continued, "Do you know you’re my boss now?"
Su Yang blinked. "What? I’m your boss?" He glanced up at the building. "Wait… are you with Xingling Media?"
"Exactly. I’m the general manager. The previous owner wasn’t you, but now it’s under your name."
"Though you’ve never shown up since taking over, so I figured you didn’t know I was here."
Su Yang chuckled. "I thought you ran your own company before?"
"I did. Then your predecessor—the old owner—acquired it. I stayed on as GM."
"But soon after, he transferred ownership. That’s when I found out it went to you."
Su Yang nodded. "So we’re colleagues now?"
"Yep~" Xia Li smiled.
Su Yang gave her another once-over. "Seems fate’s playing games. But why are you at the office so late?"
"I’m still working. Had to step out earlier, but there’s more to finish."
"That busy?"
"Not everyone gets to coast like you, Mr. President. Being GM sounds fancy, but I handle a lot myself."
Su Yang grinned. "Well, appreciate the hard work."
"Just doing my job." Xia Li tilted her head. "Want to come up and see the place? You haven’t visited since taking over, right?"
Su Yang shook his head and said, "I really haven't been here before. Let’s go up and take a look—just to get familiar with the place."
"Alright, let’s go then, Mr. Su."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
