His subordinates stood below him, trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Su Sheng's icy gaze swept over them. "You failed again."
"Every single time! You bunch of useless trash, what good are you to me?!"
All of them were worthless!
How many years had it been? Let alone killing Su Hua, they couldn't even put a scratch on her!
One of the subordinates lowered his head and answered, "Boss, it's not that we're incompetent. It's just that Su Hua's security is too tight. It's airtight. It's incredibly difficult for our men to deal with her."
"Even if her security is airtight, there has to be a flaw! Can't you find a single weakness?" Su Sheng said through gritted teeth.
The subordinates didn't dare utter a single word.
A weakness... Someone like Su Hua wrapped herself up so securely, how could she ever let them find a weakness?
Moreover, she simply had way too many top-tier experts protecting her.
Forget about killing her, they didn't even have a chance to get close.
Every time their men tried to make a move, they would be discovered and eliminated by Su Hua's people.
Assassinating Su Hua was simply an impossible mission.
"Keep your eyes on Su Hua!" Su Sheng ordered through gritted teeth. "Report to me immediately if there's any news."
"Also, the moment there's an opportunity to strike, take her out immediately! Whoever eliminates Su Hua will get a hundred million in bonus."
As long as Su Hua remained alive, the Su Group would never fall into his hands.
It was all that old geezer Su Guoqiang's fault. His father was also his son, yet the old man gave his father nothing, leaving all the benefits to Su Hua and her family!
He simply couldn't accept it!
He had to personally snatch back what rightfully belonged to him and his father!
"Yes, boss," the subordinates replied respectfully.
Hearing about the hundred million bonus, there wasn't a trace of excitement on their faces.
Let alone a hundred million, even if they were offered ten billion, they still wouldn't be able to kill Su Hua.
"Boss."
One of Su Sheng's subordinates rushed over in a hurry.
"What is it?" Su Sheng asked with a frown.
The subordinate replied, "Boss, our men found out that Su Hua has a boyfriend."
"What?"
Su Sheng abruptly stood up from his seat. "Are you sure?"
Previously, a subordinate had mentioned that Su Hua had a boyfriend. He had sent people to investigate, but they never found anything.
He had assumed the rumor about Su Hua having a boyfriend was false.
It made sense; with Su Hua's cold and ruthless temperament, how could she possibly have a boyfriend?
After that, he hadn't bothered with the matter anymore.
The subordinate answered, "It's true. She really does have a boyfriend. Boss, our men took this picture. Take a look."
He stepped forward and handed the photo to Su Sheng.
However, only Su Hua's face was visible in the photo; her boyfriend was nothing but a blurry silhouette from the back.
A surge of excitement flashed in Su Sheng's eyes.
This Su Hua actually had a boyfriend...
But...
Thinking of something, the smile on Su Sheng's face vanished.
Even if Su Hua had a boyfriend, a person like her would only treat him as a toy for her amusement. She wouldn't actually care about him.
"So what if she has a boyfriend? She's just playing around with him. He'll never be her weakness," Su Sheng said listlessly.
"No, Boss. I looked into it. The rumors about Su Hua having a boyfriend have been circulating for over two years. I heard they are extremely deeply in love, and Su Hua treats him as her everything."
Su Sheng frowned deeply.
To think there was such a rumor.
But no matter how he looked at it, it felt incredibly fake. Would a woman like Su Hua value a man so much?
The subordinate said, "Boss, we heard about Su Hua having a boyfriend a long time ago, but we could never trace him. It must be because Su Hua hid his tracks to protect him. Doesn't this prove exactly how much she cares about him?"
"Also, Boss, aren't you struggling to find a breakthrough to deal with Su Hua? Why don't we target her boyfriend and try using him to threaten her? Even if she doesn't care about him, we won't lose anything. But if she really cares about him as much as the rumors say, then Boss, we'd hit the jackpot."
"That makes sense."
Su Sheng nodded. "Right now, we can only take a desperate gamble."
Let's hope Su Hua actually cares about her boyfriend.
Su Sheng ordered, "Find out who that man is immediately, and then kidnap him and bring him to me!"
A dark glint flashed in Su Sheng's eyes.
Su Hua, oh Su Hua.
You'd better pray this man isn't your weakness.
If he really is...
Hehehe, then he would make very good use of this weakness of hers.
He would use this man to bring her down.
Inside a restaurant.
"Tongtong, are you on your way?" Liang Yilong asked.
Jiang Yutong replied, "I'm heading out right now. Wait for me, I'll be there in about ten minutes."
Liang Yilong sat at the dining table.
He had spent a fortune, shelling out over two hundred thousand to book the entire restaurant, which also had accommodations. This time, he was determined to win Jiang Yutong over and become the son-in-law of the Jiang family. From there, he would gradually take control of the Jiang Group and rise above the rest.
"Alright, I'll wait for you," Liang Yilong said tenderly.
Jiang Yutong drove to the location of her date with Liang Yilong.
Carrying a gift, she walked into the restaurant.
At a glance, Liang Yilong noticed the bag in Jiang Yutong's hand. This must be the watch she was going to give him.
A friend of his worked as a security guard at an auction and had personally seen Jiang Yutong win a watch with a bid of over eighty million.
His friend had informed him about this immediately.
If he walked out wearing an eighty-million watch gifted by Jiang Yutong, he would definitely draw the envy of countless people.
"Tongtong." Liang Yilong stood up from his seat, a smile playing on his lips. Because of the watch, his gaze toward Jiang Yutong became even more gentle.
Liang Yilong strode over to her.
"My princess, you've finally arrived."
"Mhm."
A smile appeared on Jiang Yutong's face as she handed the gift to Liang Yilong. "Happy birthday, Yilong."
"There's a watch inside. I carefully picked it out for you. It suits you very well."
Liang Yilong's face was full of smiles.
Just as he had expected, Jiang Yutong had brought him the watch.
"Tongtong, no matter what you give me, I'll love it." Liang Yilong took the watch and placed it on the table.
"Come, have a seat." He pulled out a chair for her like a gentleman.
"Mhm."
Jiang Yutong sat down at the table.
This time, Liang Yilong had arranged a candlelit dinner.
After the meal, Liang Yilong pretended to be drunk, slumping over the dining table as if he were completely unconscious.
A hotel staff member walked over and suggested, "Miss, we have rooms available here. Would you like to help your partner to a room so he can rest?"
"That works."
Jiang Yutong nodded.

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
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.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
