Cannot Be Fired

Lin Xuan handed the phone back to the principal and reached up to massage his temples.

It seemed that Jiang Yutong had come fully prepared this time...

Kicking her out of the chip project team and Shangqing University was no longer a viable option.

The principal asked in confusion, "Lin Xuan, is there a problem here?"

"No," Lin Xuan shook his head. "Forget it. If there's no way to make her leave, then so be it."

He would just visit the project team less often in the future.

He deeply regretted it. Why did he let Jiang Yutong join the project team in the first place?

Lin Xuan felt that no matter where he went, Jiang Yutong would follow him, unless he stayed at the Su Corporation and the Night Manor all the time.

These two places were fine to stay at normally, but once Hua's body recovered and they could do that kind of thing, these two places would become more dangerous than anywhere else, because his kidneys wouldn't be able to handle it.

If he hadn't agreed to Jiang Yutong's request because of that ninety million donation, none of this would have happened.

Sigh.

Such regret.

Lin Xuan took a trip to the medical laboratory. Researching cancer drugs wasn't as complicated as researching chips and lithography machines. Lin Xuan only needed to provide a research direction; he didn't have to manage the rest. He just strolled around the lab and left.

Inside the small villa on campus that Su Hua had specially arranged for him to use as a dorm, he got a headache just thinking about Jiang Yutong. And whenever he had a headache, he couldn't control his urge to torment someone.

Speaking of which, it had been a very, very long time since he last tormented anyone.

It was about time to pay Su Sheng a visit.

Lin Xuan picked up his phone and dialed Wang Ba's number.

"Boss," Wang Ba asked with a grin. "You haven't contacted me in a long time. Are you planning to take me along for a big job?"

"That is the plan," Lin Xuan nodded.

Wang Ba instantly perked up.

He had only asked casually; he didn't expect the boss to actually take him out to cause some trouble.

He loved causing trouble with his boss more than anything.

The boss was exceptionally ruthless and devious when doing things. Moreover, whenever the boss made a move, he never failed, and it was always a crushing victory.

It was just a pity that the boss rarely took action personally.

"Boss, who do you want to deal with?" Wang Ba asked curiously.

"Su Sheng," Lin Xuan replied.

A trace of cold light flickered in his eyes.

Su Sheng's father, Su Hai, was the main culprit who caused Hua to go missing when she was a child, leading her to fall into the hands of the Shang Organization.

If it hadn't been for Su Hai, Hua would never have experienced so much pain, nor would she have turned into such a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Su Hai had already been captured and killed by Hua. As for his son, Lin Xuan was going to deal with him personally.

"Su Sheng?" Wang Ba was slightly surprised. "Boss, are you talking about the Su Sheng who cooperates with the largest arms syndicate and has close ties with the Queen of Britain?"

Su Sheng wasn't very smart, but he had married the daughter of the kingpin of the biggest arms syndicate, and he had saved the Queen of Britain.

His sheer luck was enough to make anyone envious.

"That's right."

Lin Xuan nodded.

Wang Ba couldn't help but think that when the boss didn't act, everything was quiet, but the moment he made a move, he dropped the ultimate bomb.

Relying on his connections with the arms syndicate, this Su Sheng had been thriving in a certain Western continent.

Now, he was gradually shifting his power towards the domestic front and the Black Triangle.

This Su Sheng was quite terrifying to the underground organizations, making them tremble at the mere mention of his name.

And the boss actually wanted to deal with him...

He had heard the boss mention it before, but at the time, he thought he was just bringing it up casually. He didn't expect the boss to be serious.

"Go and investigate his whereabouts now. Also, tell the brothers in the gang to get ready. We might strike at any moment," Lin Xuan said.

"Alright, I'll go make the arrangements right away," Wang Ba nodded.

The boss wasn't afraid of Night Rose or the leader of the Shang Organization, so dealing with Su Sheng shouldn't be difficult for him either.

In Wang Ba's eyes, Lin Xuan was now practically a god-like existence, capable of anything.

"Boss, I have some gossip here. Do you want to hear it?" Wang Ba said.

"What gossip?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.

"It's about Dark Night Rose," Wang Ba said. "Hasn't Dark Night Rose always been known for being cruel, ruthless, and cold-blooded? Well, boss, do you know what she's been doing these past few days?"

"What?" Lin Xuan showed a look of curiosity.

Wang Ba replied, "She actually went to do charity work. She's been donating to orphanages everywhere, sponsoring impoverished students, and even setting up free medical care."

"Boss, a female demon who kills without blinking an eye actually ran off to do charity. Isn't that extremely bizarre?" Wang Ba said.

He couldn't help but feel that something weird was going on.

Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. "That is indeed quite unbelievable." He nodded.

Dark Night Rose killed people like flies.

Logically speaking, a person like her should be numb to poverty, illness, and death, and wouldn't go out of her way to help others.

However... having killed so many people, it wasn't entirely impossible that she was doing charity work to wash away her sins.

"Boss, I also heard another rumor," Wang Ba said secretively.

"What is it?" Lin Xuan furrowed his brows slightly.

Wang Ba answered, "They say Dark Night Rose is doing all this charity work for you, boss."

"For me?" Lin Xuan's frown deepened.

Wang Ba continued, "Boss, Dark Night Rose never used to do any of this. But ever since she sparred with you, she started doing charity work, and her methods of dealing with others have become much gentler. A lot of the brothers in our gang are guessing that she's doing this to leave a good impression on you."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but retort, "You guys have been watching too many soap operas."

Dark Night Rose might have had a little interest in him at first, but that was just a fleeting whim.

He already had a girlfriend. Even if someone like Dark Night Rose took a fancy to him, she wouldn't do so much for a man who already loved another woman.

Furthermore, she had personally said that she already had a man she liked, and she wouldn't betray him.

Lin Xuan changed the subject away from Dark Night Rose and said, "Wang Ba, if you get any news on Su Sheng's whereabouts, remember to tell me immediately."

"Got it, boss," Wang Ba nodded.

Lin Xuan hung up the phone.

Wang Ba looked at his phone and muttered, "Why do I feel like Dark Night Rose is actually doing all this for the boss?"

This was all based on his male intuition.

Forget it.

Maybe he was just overthinking things. After all, a man's intuition was notoriously unreliable.

"Su Sheng."

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Last time, he had personally severed his old man's head; this time, he would send him down to keep his old man company.

Tsk.

To actually dare to lay a hand on Hua, he had truly brought doom upon himself.

A trace of coldness flashed through Lin Xuan's eyes.

"Achoo."

"Achoo."

In a basement, Su Sheng, who was sitting in the main seat, sneezed several times in a row.
