"Su Hua, I know you care about him a lot." Su Sheng sat in a rocking chair, propping both feet on the table, looking incredibly relaxed.
"I will send you an address. If you want Lin Xuan to live, head to the address I send you alone. Remember, you must come by yourself! If you don't show up, then I'll have no reason to keep this Lin Xuan alive."
"I'll give you twelve hours. If you haven't arrived within twelve hours, there's no need for me to keep him around. Food costs money, and I won't waste my provisions feeding a useless piece of trash."
Su Sheng hung up the phone.
After sending the address, he stared at the phone resting on the desk, an indescribable excitement gleaming in his eyes.
This time, he would make sure Su Hua never returned.
No!
Not just never returning.
He was going to lock Su Hua up and torture her day and night.
Besides, Su Hua was so beautiful; that great figure and pretty face couldn't go to waste.
He would treat Su Hua as a bonus and let his brothers have a good time enjoying her.
When that time came, Su Hua would definitely wish she were dead.
Just thinking about the miserable state Su Hua would face made Su Sheng unable to stop smiling.
"Boss," one of Su Sheng's subordinates said worriedly, "this is an obvious trap. Are you sure Su Hua will come?"
"After all, it's just a man. What if she doesn't come? What do we do then?"
"No, no, no," Su Sheng said. "She will definitely come."
The subordinate asked curiously, "Boss, why are you so certain?"
Su Sheng replied, "When I mentioned to Su Hua that Lin Xuan had been captured, even though she tried hard to keep her tone calm, I could still feel the tremor in her voice."
"Su Hua has always been as calm as still water. Even if you put a knife to her neck, she wouldn't be afraid."
That's why they said Su Hua was a monster.
This monster, Su Hua, wasn't afraid of death. She was incredibly cold towards everything, even her own grandfather and parents.
For someone to cause an uncontrollable tremor in Su Hua's voice...
That person must be extremely important in her heart.
She would definitely come to save Lin Xuan!
"I see," the subordinate nodded.
For some unknown reason, even though everything was going so smoothly, the subordinate still felt very uneasy.
They always say villains die from talking too much.
Just now, when the boss was on the phone with Su Hua, he really did talk a bit too much.
Could something actually go wrong?
Although he was a man, his intuition had always been quite accurate.
"Boss," the subordinate spoke respectfully, "the surveillance cameras still haven't been restored. I feel there's something weird about this. Boss, just in case, should we send someone to inspect the surroundings again?"
Su Sheng spoke brimming with confidence, "No need for all that trouble. The brothers have worked hard these past few days to catch Lin Xuan. Let them get some good rest."
"You don't need to be so paranoid, it's no big deal. Now that Lin Xuan is in my hands, I doubt Su Hua can make any waves."
Unless Lin Xuan was some big shot.
And intentionally fell into his trap.
But was that possible?
Lin Xuan was just an unarmed pretty boy. How could he possibly have heaven-defying abilities?
Su Sheng said very calmly, "You go do your work for now. I'm going to sleep a little longer. Wake me up when Su Hua gets here."
Su Sheng went back to his room and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.
Previously, his father had been killed by Su Hua.
His father's head was separated from his body, and the body was torn apart by tigers, eaten bite by bite, dripping with blood.
A partial video of his father's gruesome death had been sent to his phone.
That day, he was scared half to death.
He didn't even dare to keep his father's belongings and had someone burn them all.
Often, the moment he closed his eyes, he would see the scene of his father's tragic death. Sometimes he even dreamed that he too was killed by Su Hua using extremely terrifying methods.
For over two years, he hadn't slept well, terrified that Su Hua would deal with him just as she had dealt with his father.
Now that Su Hua was about to fall into his hands, he could finally get a good night's sleep.
Su Sheng closed his eyes and slept soundly, even letting out loud snores.
The subordinate looked at Su Sheng's appearance.
He clenched his fists tightly.
No.
He still felt very uneasy.
Something was definitely going to happen.
Before, he didn't think much of it, but ever since they caught Lin Xuan, he felt that Su Sheng had gotten carried away.
Being in the underworld required extreme caution; one careless mistake could lead to death.
An arrogant person like Su Sheng would face a disaster sooner or later.
Also, if Su Hua was really that easy to deal with, she wouldn't have been able to sit securely in the position of CEO of the Su Group for so long while countless people eyed her greedily.
Furthermore, he had heard a rumor that Su Hua was also the leader of a major gang.
For his own safety.
He shouldn't stay here today.
He needed to slip away quickly.
He would come back after Su Sheng had truly taken care of Su Hua.
Thinking like this.
He hurriedly rushed outside.
One of his own subordinates saw him, frowned, and said, "Brother Yong, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Running for my life," Li Yong blurted out.
"Huh?" The subordinate was a bit bewildered. "Running for your life?"
Li Yong's face stiffened.
How did he speak his inner thoughts out loud?
"Cough, cough, cough—" He covered his mouth, pretending to look pained. "I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest today."
"It feels like I'm about to drop dead. I need to hurry to a hospital to get it checked out, which is why I just said I was running for my life."
"I see," the subordinate suddenly realized.
"I'm leaving." Li Yong drove his car and hurriedly departed from the villa.
He drove all the way to a place thirty kilometers away.
It should be safe here, right?
Only then did Li Yong's wildly beating heart finally settle down.
"Butler Wang. Tell me, is Xuan really in the Night Garden?" Su Hua's voice trembled slightly, a scarlet hue showing in her eyes.
Butler Wang's heart skipped a beat.
Listening to the Miss's tone, could Young Master Lin have really run into some trouble?
Out of concern for Lin Xuan's safety, Butler Wang didn't dare to help Lin Xuan deceive Su Hua anymore.
"Miss."
Butler Wang replied, "Young Master Lin is indeed not in the Night Garden."
"Not long after you left, Young Master Lin also left. He even asked me to help him keep his departure a secret."
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
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.
