Hearing the commotion, Jiang Qing put away her phone early on and returned to the scene to watch the drama unfold.
She enthusiastically cracked sunflower seeds between her teeth.
As expected, the good show arranged by Young Master Lin was highly entertaining.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Young Master Lin's methods were so formidable. Not only was he smart, but he also had excellent medical skills. Just by taking a sniff, he could tell if his drink had been drugged.
How could he be so easily set up?
Daring to provoke Young Master Lin, this Chen Mo's days were numbered.
Jiang Qing continued cracking seeds, watching the spectacle with great interest.
"Chen Mo."
Lin Xuan got out of bed and walked toward Chen Mo step by step.
"I remember you were a student at Shangqing University. You even colluded with Yundu University to slander me. In the end, you were expelled from Shangqing and lost your job. You must hate me a lot, right?"
Chen Mo inexplicably felt a chill run through his entire body.
His heart was pounding violently out of fear.
"I, I..."
Chen Mo found himself inexplicably speechless.
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and continued, "Today is the gathering for the members of the lithography machine and microchip project team. You work as a waiter in this hotel, and you just so happened to see Lin Jingyue enter my room."
"It's so hard to guess, Chen Mo. Could it be that you orchestrated all of this?"
"No, I didn't."
Chen Mo retorted subconsciously.
He absolutely could not admit it. Once he did, he would be ruined.
"You didn't? Are you sure you didn't plan for Lin Jingyue and me to end up in bed together?"
Lin Xuan's eyes locked onto Chen Mo as he closed in step by step.
Chen Mo retreated step by step.
There was a chair behind him.
Chen Mo collapsed into it.
A layer of terror clouded his eyes.
Lin Xuan looked truly terrifying.
"Chen Mo, with so little courage, you still dared to set me up, huh?" Lin Xuan said in a low voice.
Since Su Hua was here, Lin Xuan didn't dare to go too far.
He took a few steps back.
Su Hua looked at Lin Xuan and curled her lips into a smile.
She just loved seeing Xuan become wicked; this way, they were becoming more and more like the same kind of people.
"Xuan."
Su Hua walked up to Lin Xuan.
"Hua, what's wrong?" Lin Xuan looked at Su Hua in confusion.
Su Hua straightened his clothes.
"Xuan, there's something at my company that I need to handle."
Jiang Qing frowned.
What could possibly require President Su to handle it personally at the company?
As her secretary, how come she didn't know about it?
"I won't be staying with Xuan anymore," Su Hua said as she continued adjusting Lin Xuan's collar.
"Okay."
Lin Xuan nodded.
His eyes lit up slightly.
Hua was leaving, and with her gone, he could properly torture Chen Mo.
"Xuan, remember to miss me," Su Hua said.
"Hua, I think of you every single moment." Sweet words to coax Su Hua came naturally to Lin Xuan.
"Mhm."
Su Hua nodded.
She placed a finger on her red lips, tapping lightly, her gaze locked intently on Lin Xuan's lips.
"We're about to part ways, what is Xuan going to do, hm?" Su Hua practically spelled it out.
Lin Xuan lowered his head and planted a kiss on Su Hua's lips.
"Hua, this is a goodbye kiss."
Su Hua's eyes curved into a smile.
Xuan was so obedient.
"Then Xuan, I'm heading to the company."
Su Hua left the room.
Jiang Qing looked back reluctantly. Now that President Su was gone, Young Master Lin would definitely torment Chen Mo ruthlessly.
It was a pity she wouldn't be able to watch such a good show.
Following behind Su Hua, Jiang Qing asked in confusion, "President Su, I recall there aren't any urgent matters at the company requiring your attention. Yet you said that to Young Master Lin. Don't you want to stay and keep him company?"
Su Hua paused her steps and replied, "If I stayed, Xuan wouldn't be able to have enough fun."
"Ah?"
Jiang Qing was momentarily dumbfounded.
Fun?
What kind of fun was Young Master Lin going to have?
In hindsight, Jiang Qing finally realized that what President Su meant was leaving space for Young Master Lin to torment someone. If President Su were present, Young Master Lin definitely wouldn't dare do anything to Chen Mo.
Jiang Qing couldn't help but shake her head.
President Su and Young Master Lin truly were a perfect match.
Then again, she wondered when Young Master Lin would discover President Su's identity as the Dark Night Rose.
She thought the scene of President Su's secret being exposed would be absolutely spectacular.
Inside the room.
Seeing Su Hua leave, Chen Mo had a sinking feeling that if he stayed, Lin Xuan wouldn't let him off.
Chen Mo quickly ran toward the door.
He needed to leave too!
Lin Xuan suddenly shifted and appeared right in front of the door.
"Chen Mo, trying to escape?" Lin Xuan's voice was eerily calm.
Chen Mo's eyes widened.
"Lin Xuan, you... how are you here?"
Lin Xuan had clearly been far away from him just a moment ago. How did he appear right in front of him in the blink of an eye?
"You don't need to trouble yourself over how I got here. You only need to know that today, you cannot escape," Lin Xuan said with a smirk.
With a click, Lin Xuan locked the door from the inside.
He locked the door not because he was worried Chen Mo would escape, but because he was afraid Su Hua might return.
If Hua saw such a bloody scene, it would affect his image in her heart.
Lin Xuan smirked and once again walked toward Chen Mo step by step.
Chen Mo swallowed hard.
Lin Xuan's current appearance truly resembled a devil.
"Lin, Lin Xuan, what do you want to do?"
As Lin Xuan approached, Chen Mo was so terrified that his legs went weak.
Thud.
His legs gave out completely, and he fell to the floor, almost unable to stand back up.
"Chen Mo." Lin Xuan squatted in front of him, raising an eyebrow. "Are you very curious as to why, even though you clearly arranged for Lin Jingyue and me to be in the same room, she isn't here? And why, even though you spiked the aromatherapy with an aphrodisiac, I am completely fine?"
"Why?" Chen Mo asked through gritted teeth.
He had arranged everything so flawlessly, yet Lin Xuan still found out.
Lin Xuan curled his lips and said, "That's because I knew about your arrangements from the very beginning. Since I knew, how could I possibly fall into your trap?"
"What?"
Chen Mo's pupils suddenly dilated.
He actually knew?
"Chen Mo, I know medicine. The moment you put that sleeping drug into the wine, I could smell it with a single sniff. However, I wanted to see who exactly was trying to harm me, so I played along and pretended to be knocked out by the drug."
"After you left the hotel room, I gave Lin Jingyue the antidote and had her leave the room. Otherwise, how did you think Lin Jingyue vanished into thin air?"
Chen Mo gritted his teeth.
To think that Lin Xuan knew his plan from the very start.
And he was still here acting for him!
He suspected that Lin Xuan had been treating him like a monkey, playing him for a fool.
"Lin Xuan, your mind is truly deep and calculating," Chen Mo said through clenched teeth.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I'm flattered."
"Chen Mo, regarding the time you smeared me online, I didn't lay a hand on you because Hua intervened. But who told you to be so tactless and deliver yourself to my door once again?"
This was fine too.
It had been a very, very long time since he had utterly crushed someone. Since Chen Mo had practically served himself up on a silver platter, he couldn't be blamed for what was about to happen.
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smirk.

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."
