It didn't take long for the tied-up shadow guards to wake up.
Looking at the ropes binding them, their eyes widened in shock.
"What is going on? How did we get tied up?"
They had received professional training and were highly vigilant.
They wouldn't normally be taken down so easily, let alone all of them falling at the same time.
Suddenly, they remembered the bowl of mung bean soup Lin Xuan had given them earlier.
It was Young Master Lin!
Young Master Lin was the one who knocked them out.
Lin Xuan walked in.
"You are all awake."
"Young Master Lin, why did you drug us?" a shadow guard asked, his face full of confusion.
"I have something to take care of, and it is not convenient for you to follow me. Just stay here and wait for my return. Once I am back, I will naturally let you go."
After saying that, Lin Xuan walked out of the room.
The shadow guards' hearts leaped into their throats.
If Young Master Lin wasn't going to do something dangerous, he would never have locked them up.
Please let nothing happen to Young Master Lin.
If anything happened to him, the Young Miss would never spare them.
Lin Xuan arrived in the living room, where twenty members of the Golden Dragon Gang were already waiting.
Lin Xuan spoke, "I am worried Su Sheng will notice something is off, so I need you to play the role of the bodyguards my girlfriend sent to protect me."
"You have to play dead and let Su Sheng's men take me away. Remember, do not show any flaws."
Lin Xuan actually already knew Su Sheng's location.
Su Sheng had some power, and a rash attack might cause heavy casualties for the Golden Dragon Gang.
He wanted to wipe out Su Sheng and his gang with the minimum amount of losses.
Moreover, doing it this way would infuriate Su Sheng to death.
He loved nothing more than doing things that would anger people to the point of no return.
"Yes, Gang Leader."
The subordinates agreed respectfully.
Lin Xuan went to an empty, deserted place and deliberately spoke loudly on his phone.
"Dahe, do you want to go to Zihong Villa at eight o'clock tonight?"
"Alright, I will wait for you at Zihong Villa. All expenses tonight are on me."
Lin Xuan hung up the phone. He inconspicuously glanced at a man hurrying away not far off, and the corners of his lips curled up.
He took the bait.
Now he just needed to wait for them to deliver themselves to his door.
He had thought Su Sheng would catch him quickly, saving him the trouble of carefully arranging all this.
Who knew Su Sheng was such a piece of trash that he couldn't catch him after all this time.
He could only take the initiative to let them catch him.
After the man hid in a secluded spot, he immediately called Su Sheng.
"Boss," he said, "Lin Xuan is going to Zihong Villa with his friend at exactly eight o'clock tonight."
"Good, I got it."
A cold sneer appeared on Su Sheng's face.
The opportunity had arrived.
Zihong Villa was located in a remote area. Going there required passing through a sparsely populated stretch, specifically a valley section.
It was perfect for an ambush.
This Lin Xuan was practically serving his own head on a silver platter.
As expected of a man kept by Su Hua, he had absolutely no sense of danger.
"Now it is time for me to make a move and meet this Lin Xuan."
"Tell everyone we depart at six to ambush Lin Xuan."
At seven in the evening.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the chirping of birds and the occasional passing car.
Lin Xuan's car reached the valley.
There were several cars in front of and behind him, protecting him.
Suddenly.
The car slammed on its brakes.
Lin Xuan curled his lips.
They were here.
Bang, bang, bang! Countless gunshots rang out outside.
Lin Xuan sat calmly in the back seat of his car.
His men fell down one by one.
There was blood everywhere.
When the gunfire ceased, Lin Xuan finally opened his eyes.
Su Sheng snorted coldly.
"They are just a bunch of trash, yet they kept you from catching Lin Xuan for so long. You guys are truly useless!"
A subordinate quickly replied, "Boss, it is not that we are useless, it is mainly that you are too amazing. Otherwise, how could we succeed the moment you stepped in?"
These words pleased Su Sheng greatly.
A look of delight appeared on his face.
"You all better learn from this. If you perform too poorly, do not go around saying you are my men. I would find it embarrassing."
The subordinate looked at the bodies on the ground in confusion.
Why did he feel something was off?
These people protecting Lin Xuan seemed exceptionally fragile today.
The subordinate even reached out to check their breath and heartbeats.
His tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed.
They indeed had no vital signs.
He must have been overthinking it.
It was probably because the Boss had arranged the deployment so well that these people were taken down so quickly.
Thinking about it, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to have deliberately fallen into their trap.
Knock, knock, knock.
Lin Xuan's car door was knocked on.
Lin Xuan pretended to look terrified as he stepped out of the car.
"Who exactly are you people?"
With a pale face, he asked, "What do you want to do?"
His acting skills were masterful, leaving no visible flaws.
Su Sheng sized Lin Xuan up.
"Heh," he said with great interest. "No wonder a monster like Su Hua could fall for you. You really do look quite good."
"It is a good thing she likes you, otherwise, how could I have grasped her weakness?"
Su Sheng burst into loud laughter.
The thought that Su Hua would soon be kneeling and begging him brought him immense joy.
"Lin Xuan, you could have stayed safe and sound, but who asked you to be the man Su Hua likes."
Lin Xuan's voice trembled with fear. "Who exactly are you?"
Su Sheng smiled and answered, "Su Hua probably never mentioned me to you. My name is Su Sheng, Su Hua's biological cousin. I am not afraid to tell you that I captured you just to deal with Su Hua."
"Take him away!"
With those words, a sack was thrown over Lin Xuan's head, and he was shoved into the trunk of a car.
What Su Sheng did not know was that not long after they left, the people who were supposed to have died protecting Lin Xuan...
...stood up from the ground one by one.
They sighed in admiration, "The Gang Leader's acting just now was truly excellent. If I were on Su Sheng's side, I probably would have been fooled by him too."
It would really be a pity if the Gang Leader didn't go into acting with those skills.
"The fake death pills the Gang Leader gave us really worked." One subordinate looked completely impressed. "How is it that the Gang Leader can get his hands on all sorts of bizarre things, like fake death pills and human skin masks?"
He genuinely suspected he was living in a fantasy world.
The Gang Leader was just too awesome.
"Of course! He is our Gang Leader, an omnipotent existence. Isn't it completely normal for him to produce such things?"
These subordinates of the Golden Dragon Gang practically treated Lin Xuan as a god-like existence.
"Sigh, what a pity we cannot follow the Gang Leader to deal with Su Sheng and the others. The scene would definitely be spectacular."
Lin Xuan was taken onto a plane, his hands and feet bound.
His eyes were also blindfolded.
Su Sheng's subordinates looked at Lin Xuan in confusion.
"He is such a coward. Shouldn't he be trembling and frantically begging for mercy right now? How did he fall asleep? He looks so peaceful."
"That is normal, right? He probably knows he cannot escape, so he has given up struggling."

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on?
