Su Sheng smiled. "Cousin, we haven't seen each other for so long. Why bring up an outsider instead of catching up?"
Su Hua asked again in a deep voice, "Where is Xuan?"
Now that Su Hua had fallen into his hands, Su Sheng was in an incredibly good mood.
"Alright, alright," Su Sheng said with a smile. "Since your bond is so deep, I'll let you two have a proper reunion."
Su Sheng raised his voice and ordered, "Bring Lin Xuan up here to me."
"Yes, sir."
One of his subordinates immediately went to carry out the order.
He jogged to the small room where Lin Xuan was being held.
"The boss ordered to bring Lin Xuan to the main hall."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan frowned deeply.
What was going on?
Why was Su Sheng suddenly taking him there?
Could it be that Hua was here?
But that should be impossible. It had only been about three hours since Su Sheng notified Hua of his capture.
Hua was in the United States handling company affairs; she couldn't have rushed over so quickly.
Su Sheng looking for him at this time must be for something else.
"Take him over as quickly as possible."
After giving the instruction, the subordinate returned to the main hall.
Old Chen and Lao Han stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm throughout. His gaze fell on Lao Han, and he didn't forget to say, "If you want to write a novel in the future, remember to come to my company's website. If you write well, my company will definitely give your novel a lot of promotion."
Lao Han was speechless.
He was genuinely somewhat tempted by Lin Xuan's words.
No.
He couldn't be tempted.
Lin Xuan was about to die, and the Tianmu Group would soon belong to their boss.
Such promises from Lin Xuan were useless.
Lao Han steadied his heart and continued to escort Lin Xuan to the main hall with Old Chen.
Su Sheng was still chattering away.
"Cousin, oh cousin, I really don't know what you were thinking, to actually fall in love with a man one day." Su Sheng shook his head.
"You women are just so easily blinded by love."
If he hadn't known she was with Lin Xuan, he wouldn't have believed that someone like Su Hua could actually fall for a man, and not just in an ordinary way.
She was willing to die for Lin Xuan.
But this worked out perfectly. If Su Hua hadn't fallen for Lin Xuan, he wouldn't have found a way to deal with her.
Su Hua stared at Su Sheng with a dark gaze. "You said that as long as I came, you would let Xuan go. Is that true?"
Su Sheng smiled and answered, "Of course it's true."
Only, he would wait until he killed Lin Xuan before letting him leave.
And he would torture him right in front of Su Hua.
He absolutely had to let Su Hua truly feel what it meant to be in a living hell.
Lin Xuan was brought up.
"Su Hua, look, your sweetheart," Su Sheng gestured to Su Hua.
Lin Xuan was shocked!
Holy crap!
It was Hua!
Wait, wasn't Hua in the US?
How did she get here so fast?
"Xuan."
Su Hua looked at Lin Xuan nervously. Her first reaction was to carefully look Lin Xuan up and down.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was safe and sound without a single scratch on him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Xuan was okay.
Lin Xuan wanted to die.
Not because he was worried Su Hua would get hurt, because he had already arranged everything perfectly; it was impossible for Su Hua to get hurt.
Mainly, it was because Hua found out he had intentionally gotten captured. Hua would definitely punish him severely.
His original plan was to take out Su Sheng before Hua arrived, and then quietly return to Night Manor without anyone knowing.
Hua would just think that his capture was a lie Su Sheng told her...
Su Sheng took a drag of his cigarette, raised an eyebrow, and said, "If you two have anything to say, say it soon. If you don't say it now, you won't have the chance later."
Su Hua pursed her lips, looking at Lin Xuan.
"Didn't I tell you to stay home properly? Why did you go out?"
Su Hua just looked at Lin Xuan like that, her voice tinged with pain.
As well as the guilt of not having protected Lin Xuan.
Even Lin Xuan couldn't tell that Su Hua was acting, and his heart ached.
It was his negligence.
He should have sent someone to track Hua's whereabouts. If he had known earlier that Hua was not far from the Golden Triangle, he definitely would have dealt with Su Sheng before she came over.
Lin Xuan wished he could go up and hug Su Hua, to tell her he was fine.
However, now was not the time.
Lin Xuan lowered his head, his gaze dodging, not daring to meet Su Hua's eyes.
He said in a low voice, "I just thought that while you were away, Hua, I'd go out and hang out with Wang Dahe. I ended up getting caught halfway. Hua, I'm sorry, I dragged you into this."
Old Chen frowned deeply and whispered to Lao Han, "Lao Han, didn't you say that Lin Xuan wasn't truly with Su Hua? But no matter how I look at it, they seem deeply in love. It doesn't look at all like Lin Xuan has a death wish."
A strange feeling also welled up in Lao Han's heart.
If things weren't as he said, then there was only one other possibility... Lin Xuan coming here was premeditated.
But if Lin Xuan willingly fell into their hands, how could the boss not know?
"Hua," Lin Xuan spoke up, "you shouldn't have come. Now that you're here, Su Sheng will absolutely not let you go."
Su Hua shook her head. "If you die, I don't want to live anymore either. So what difference does it make whether I come or not? By coming, I might still be able to trade for your life."
Hindsight kicked in.
Lin Xuan finally realized.
Something was wrong, absolutely wrong.
Hua should know that even if she came over, Su Sheng would never let him go.
Hua couldn't bear for anything to happen to him.
She definitely didn't come recklessly; she must have come prepared.
Hua's current performance must be an act to stall for time.
Perfect, he needed to act too.
In fifteen more minutes, his people would be able to take out Su Sheng's men outside the villa and in the various rooms.
Once the people outside were dealt with, the ones inside would be even less of a problem.
Hua must be putting on a show with him right now.
Since that was the case, he should cooperate well with Hua.
"Hua, why bother?" Lin Xuan began his performance, his eyes growing moist. "For the first two years we were together, I was always running away, always breaking your heart."
"I'm simply not worth you sacrificing your life for me."
Su Hua's voice was hoarse as she said, "There is nothing that isn't worth it."
"Xuan, I love you. No matter how you treat me, I am willing to give up everything for you, even my life."
"Hua..." Lin Xuan's face was full of emotion.
Su Sheng's men were also moved.
Especially Lao Han.
He wiped away his tears with his hand. "So touching."
What a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Listening to their conversation, it seemed that Su Hua had forced herself on Lin Xuan before, and Lin Xuan didn't want to be with her, constantly running away. Later, they finally truly connected with each other.
They finally got together with great difficulty, only for Lin Xuan to be caught by their boss.
For the first time, Lao Han felt that Su Sheng was quite despicable.
