Something's Odd

Lin Xuan hadn't fallen completely asleep; his slumber was light, and he could hear their conversation.

He rolled over and calmly continued to sleep.

Su Sheng had captured him to deal with Hua. For now, his life was not in danger.

Hua was on a business trip.

She had been abstaining for quite a while now. Once Hua returned from her trip, she would definitely seduce him into bed again.

He needed to get a good rest before then.

Four hours later, the plane arrived at the Black Triangle.

A subordinate asked, Boss, are you still not going to call Su Hua?

No rush. Let her panic for a while; I'll call later.

Su Sheng's face was full of gloom.

Because of Su Hua, he had previously lived like a rat in the gutter, hiding everywhere, and had suffered quite a bit of torture at her hands.

What he wanted was for Su Hua to wish she were dead. Only then would the hatred in his heart be satisfied!

Wait another three hours before contacting Su Hua, Su Sheng ordered.

Lin Xuan pricked up his ears.

Three hours.

Plus the ten hours it would take Hua to rush over from the States.

That made a total of thirteen hours.

Before Hua arrived, he would have plenty of time to take care of Su Sheng and his men.

Yeah. He could take his time.

Boss, before Su Hua gets here, how should we handle this Lin Xuan? the subordinate asked.

Su Sheng yawned.

His only target was Su Hua; he had no interest whatsoever in this guy named Lin Xuan.

Su Sheng instructed, Find a place and lock him up for now.

Yes, sir. The subordinate complied.

Lin Xuan was locked in a small room.

Two men were guarding him.

These people all thought Lin Xuan was just a defenseless pretty boy, so they didn't pay him much attention.

The two guards even started dozing off.

Lin Xuan used a knockout drug to knock them out.

Then, he entered his spatial dimension, crafted a human skin mask, stripped the clothes off one of the guards, and put them on himself.

He hacked into the surveillance system of the entire villa compound.

He began to leisurely stroll around.

As for the security system, Lin Xuan easily bypassed it as well.

Boss.

A subordinate rushed hurriedly into Su Sheng's room.

Su Sheng was right in the middle of a sweet dream. Being interrupted, he looked extremely displeased.

This better be important, Su Sheng said, his face full of annoyance.

Bad news, Boss. Our surveillance system has been completely destroyed, and we can't figure out the cause.

Facing such a situation, the subordinate was panicking inside.

Such a bizarre situation had never happened before.

Could something bad be about to happen?

If you don't know what to do, then go find a way to fix it, Su Sheng said in dissatisfaction. I don't know how to fix cameras. What's the point of coming to me?

Boss, the subordinate said worriedly, I'm mainly concerned that someone is targeting us.

Su Sheng said casually, So what? We have so many people here, fully equipped, and lots of traps. If anyone dares to come, I'll make sure they never leave.

His face was full of smugness.

Right now, there were hardly any people who could deal with him. Even if the Dark Rose personally led her people to strike, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Once he took down Su Hua's Su Group, he would also take over the Sky Canopy Group that she had helped her toy boy develop.

By then, he would have endless wealth.

He would use part of the money to develop his underground gang.

At that time, no one would dare mess with him.

I'm going back to sleep, Su Sheng said. If there's nothing else, don't bother me.

For the past few days, he had been busy trying to capture Lin Xuan and rarely had time to rest.

Now that Lin Xuan had fallen into his hands and Su Hua hadn't arrived yet.

During this time, he just wanted to get a good rest. Only well-rested would he have more energy to enjoy Su Hua's misery.

Yes, sir.

The subordinate exited the room.

Little did Su Sheng know that while he was sleeping, their security system had been silently destroyed by Lin Xuan.

Furthermore, a batch of his subordinates had been replaced.

However, because Lin Xuan couldn't get intel on his specific subordinates and hadn't prepared human skin masks for them, he just inserted his own men as ordinary grunts so as not to attract attention.

After doing all this, Lin Xuan returned to the room where he was being held.

He had his Golden Dragon Gang subordinates tie the ropes back on him.

When the two men guarding Lin Xuan woke up, they only felt groggy.

What happened? Why does my head hurt so much?

Mine too. It feels like I was drugged.

Drugged...

They nervously turned their heads to look at Lin Xuan.

They found Lin Xuan still tied up and sleeping in the corner.

The two exchanged a glance and let out a collective sigh of relief.

They thought Lin Xuan had escaped.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan was still here.

Lin Xuan was someone the boss had gone to great lengths to capture. If they really let him escape, the boss would definitely not spare them.

Besides, it would be hard to catch Lin Xuan next time.

It was just strange. Why did they feel like they had been drugged? But it was impossible. If they had really been drugged, Lin Xuan would have definitely escaped. Why would he still be here?

Thinking of this, their anxious hearts settled down.

They must have just been overthinking it.

Lao Han, what kind of fate do you think he'll end up with? Old Li glanced at Lin Xuan and asked.

Lao Han replied, There are two possible outcomes. First, Su Hua, who is keeping him as a sugar baby, doesn't care if he lives or dies. The boss lost a lot of money trying to catch him earlier. If catching him turns out to be useless, the boss will definitely kill him.

Second, if Su Hua really cares about him and comes looking for him, once the boss takes care of Su Hua, he'll also be killed by the boss. No matter which outcome, he can't escape the fate of death.

That's quite tragic, Old Chen sighed.

What's tragic about it? Who told him to be so stupid? He clearly knew our boss had his eyes on him, yet he still ran off to such a remote place. Isn't that just offering his head on a silver platter?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Having founded such a huge company like the Sky Canopy Group, he's going to die without even enjoying it for long. He really doesn't have the destiny for a good life.

Lao Han sighed and shook his head.

But he only had himself to blame for following the wrong person. That female demon, Su Hua, had an exceptional number of enemies. As her man, he was bound to be targeted by many people. It was only a matter of time before something happened.

But why do I get the feeling there's something fishy going on here? Hasn't everything gone a bit too smoothly tonight? Old Chen said with a frown.
