There Is a Price to Pay

The smile on Chen Mo's face abruptly vanished.

That voice...

Chen Mo frowned deeply.

Why did that voice sound a bit like Boss Su's?

Tap, tap, tap—

A series of footsteps came from behind him.

Chen Mo turned around and saw Su Hua walking toward him.

She was dressed in a black qipao, her soft, long, straight black hair resting on her shoulders.

Although a smile played at the corners of her lips, she looked like a female demon of death.

A chill ran through Chen Mo's entire body.

He had never had much interaction with Boss Su. For Boss Su to bring him here at this hour, her purpose was obvious—to teach him a lesson for Lin Xuan.

B-Boss Su.

May I ask what your purpose is in bringing me here?

Chen Mo's voice was trembling.

Su Hua, in her high heels, walked step by step until she stood right in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, you certainly have a lot of nerve, actually daring to scheme against my Xuan, hmm? Su Hua's voice was wrapped in a layer of frost.

The way she looked at Chen Mo was as if she were staring at a dead object.

He truly deserved to die.

The man she treasured like a jewel was repeatedly being set up and framed by these blind fools.

Chen Mo shivered from the coldness of her tone.

He had heard that Boss Su was a living Yama.

Since he had moved against Lin Xuan, she definitely wouldn't let him off.

Boss Su.

Chen Mo hurriedly spoke up, Even though I schemed against Lin Xuan, isn't he completely fine now?

Heh—

Su Hua sneered. Did you really think you could escape punishment just like that?

If Xuan hadn't been smart and seen through his trick early on, he probably would have succeeded in his scheme and gotten Xuan entangled with another woman.

The mere thought of Xuan rolling in the sheets with another woman...

Made her want to murder someone...

Jiang Qing shook her head, looking at Chen Mo with sympathy.

Chen Mo was truly miserable.

Having just been tortured by Young Master Lin, he had now fallen into the hands of Boss Su.

These two were both living Yamas, the kind who could torture a person until they wished for death.

Chen Mo clenched his fists tightly.

He had to think of a way to make Boss Su let him go.

Boss Su lacked nothing; he couldn't give her any gifts to curry favor with her.

There was only one way left, and that was to make Boss Su dislike Lin Xuan.

But that was even harder.

He had no idea what method to use to make Boss Su abandon Lin Xuan.

A flash of inspiration struck Chen Mo's mind.

He had it!

In front of Boss Su, Lin Xuan had always acted completely harmless.

Boss Su surely liked this side of him.

Boss Su definitely didn't know about Lin Xuan's demonic side.

As long as he exposed Lin Xuan's true colors, Boss Su would definitely no longer like him.

Boss Su.

Chen Mo spoke up, Actually, Lin Xuan has been acting this whole time. He isn't the gentle and kind person you think he is.

Lin Xuan is a devil.

Su Hua raised an eyebrow.

She didn't say anything, continuing to listen to Chen Mo speak.

Boss Su, you don't know this, but he has been torturing me all day today. Look at me. Chen Mo rolled up his sleeves. These injuries on my arms were all from Lin Xuan beating me.

Boss Su, Lin Xuan beat me for half an hour.

Oh, right, there's more. He even sent two dark and ugly women to sleep with me. I was tortured by them in bed using all sorts of methods. The injuries on my face were inflicted by them.

Chen Mo lifted his shirt.

When Jiang Qing saw it, she gasped.

She knew Chen Mo would be taught a harsh lesson by Young Master Lin, but she never imagined he would end up this miserable.

Thank goodness, thank goodness she had always wanted to cling to Young Master Lin's thigh and had never really offended him.

Otherwise, if she had incurred Young Master Lin's grudge, she would be finished.

She still stood by her belief: it was better to provoke anyone, even Boss Su, than to provoke Young Master Lin.

Provoking Boss Su meant only suffering a lesson from Boss Su alone, but provoking Young Master Lin meant suffering a mixed double-beating from the couple.

Boss Su, these whip marks on my body, and the burns from dripping candle wax, were all done by those two women under Lin Xuan's orders.

Whenever Chen Mo thought of the scenes in bed with those two women, he felt an unbearable sense of humiliation.

Furthermore, just thinking about it made him want to throw up.

It was truly too disgusting.

Boss Su, everything I'm saying is true. If you don't believe me, you can look into it.

Lin Xuan is a two-faced man. He acts in front of you just to gain your affection, Boss Su, so you can help him develop his company. He doesn't truly love you.

Jiang Qing shook her head.

Chen Mo actually thought he could sow discord between Boss Su and Young Master Lin.

He was really overthinking it.

Boss Su actually loved seeing Young Master Lin do these sorts of things.

Chen Mo said these words thinking they would arouse Su Hua's suspicions toward Lin Xuan.

As a result, when he looked up, he saw Su Hua wearing a smile. It wasn't a cold sneer, nor was it a laugh born of extreme anger from being deceived.

It was a genuine, heartfelt smile of pleasure.

Moreover, her eyes were actually filled with a doting fondness.

He must have seen wrong.

Chen Mo rubbed his eyes and opened them again to look at Su Hua.

Su Hua was still the same!

Her face was full of smiles and doting fondness.

Chen Mo was stunned.

What in the world was going on?

Someone with Boss Su's status and position should hate being deceived the most.

Lin Xuan had deceived Boss Su, wasn't Boss Su angry at all?

Su Hua began to laugh softly. Chen Mo, did you know? I actually love seeing the way Xuan tortures people.

The more Xuan liked to torture people, the less he would mind that she was a devil who could kill without blinking an eye.

Chen Mo's eyes widened in shock.

How could Boss Su possibly like this side of Lin Xuan?

Boss Su, keeping Lin Xuan by your side is like keeping a ticking time bomb. Who knows, he might kill you one day.

You can't fall for Lin Xuan's tricks! Boss Su!

Chen Mo's appearance made it seem as though he was truly thinking for Su Hua's sake.

Xuan won't lay a hand on me because he likes me, Su Hua's lips curled into a smile. Even if Xuan were to kill me, dying by his hands is something I would gladly endure.

Crazy, she's truly crazy.

At this moment, Chen Mo clearly realized just how much Su Hua liked Lin Xuan.

Even if Lin Xuan had truly fallen into his trap and rolled in the sheets with Lin Jingyue, Boss Su probably wouldn't have abandoned Lin Xuan.

And he, the person who schemed against Lin Xuan, would be tortured by Boss Su.

He was wrong.

He had always thought that Boss Su only saw Lin Xuan as handsome and was just playing around with him.

He never in a million years imagined that Boss Su would like Lin Xuan this much.

Chen Mo.

Su Hua's voice was freezing to the extreme. There is a price to pay for moving against my Xuan, you know.

A chill ran through Chen Mo's entire body.

What exactly was Boss Su going to do to him?

Hold him down, Su Hua said, curling her lips.

Yes.

Two subordinates stepped forward and pinned Chen Mo down firmly.

Su Hua reached out her hand.

Jiang Qing then handed Su Hua a pair of white gloves.

Su Hua methodically put the gloves on her hands.

A small knife, Su Hua said.

Yes.

Jiang Qing then handed Su Hua a small knife.

Those who dare to scheme against Xuan deserve a fate worse than death, Su Hua said, her eyes carrying a bloodthirsty coldness.

Recently, she had a dream.

She dreamed that Xuan was thrown into a lake and killed.

Thank goodness it was just a dream.

But this dream felt so real.

Regardless, anyone who dares to hurt Xuan deserves to die...

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

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.
