"This is different," Lin Xuan replied. "I usually handle company matters online. How could I possibly handle the affairs of the Golden Dragon Gang online?"
He absolutely had to keep the fact that he was the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang strictly under wraps.
The punishment for seeking out Su Sheng behind Hua's back, coupled with the revelation that he was the Golden Dragon Gang's leader, would probably keep him confined to the bedroom for at least ten days and ten nights.
No, confined to the Night Manor.
Because for that many days, Hua wouldn't just be satisfied with the bedroom; she would also take things to the garden, the pool, the kitchen, and other places.
Lin Xuan continued, "As for why the Golden Dragon Gang helps me every time, it's mainly because I hired them to deal with the Shang organization the first time and felt their professional capabilities were quite good. So, whenever I needed to deal with someone later on, I hired them again."
"Vice Leader Wang, wouldn't you agree?"
Lin Xuan winked at Wang Ba, giving him frantic hints.
"That's right."
Wang Ba snapped back to his senses.
He nodded. "It's exactly as Young Master Lin said. We were all hired by Young Master Lin."
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ba was usually a bit thick-headed, but he didn't drop the ball at the critical moment.
"Hua, do you believe me now?" Lin Xuan looked back at Su Hua.
"I believe you." A smile curled the corners of Su Hua's lips. "Of course I believe you."
"But Xuan, you'd better pray that everything you said is true."
"Otherwise, you will be punished."
Lin Xuan was speechless.
Now that Su Sheng was taken care of, he absolutely, positively would never show his face at the Golden Dragon Gang again unless he had to!
A faint smile lingered in Su Hua's eyes.
She would let Xuan off the hook for now.
If they went at it for too long all at once, it wouldn't be good for Xuan's health.
There was no rush.
They could take it one step at a time.
"Hua, let's go back first," Lin Xuan said.
"Okay."
Su Hua curled her lips.
It was time to go back and give Xuan a proper punishment.
They walked to the door.
Many of Su Sheng's subordinates were squatting on the ground, their feet bound one by one.
They were shivering uncontrollably.
They had actually been captured by Su Hua and Lin Xuan without anyone noticing.
The strength of these two was just too ridiculously absurd.
What kind of evil gods had their boss provoked? Now they were all dragged down to suffer along with him.
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over Su Sheng's subordinates, his eyes finally landing on Lao Han.
"Lao Han."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Zhangzhongbao Novels welcomes you. Remember to come write novels on my website from now on."
"Let him go," Lin Xuan ordered.
"Yes."
A subordinate stepped forward and untied the bindings on Lao Han's feet.
"Thank you, Lin Xuan, thank you," Lao Han said, shedding tears of gratitude.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, then write your novels well and make money for my novel website."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lao Han nodded repeatedly. "Young Master Lin, I definitely will."
"Young Master Lin, President Su."
A subordinate asked respectfully, "What should we do with them?"
Lin Xuan replied, "These subordinates of Su Sheng are pretty useless. I don't think we need to keep them. Just sell them all. If any of them have money, they can ransom themselves."
Lin Xuan and Su Hua left.
The subordinate who had the foresight to secretly lie about going to the hospital actually came back for a trip.
Seeing the empty villa with blood all around,
he felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Thank goodness he had slipped away in time.
Otherwise, his life would have been lost here as well.
More than four hours later.
The plane landed in Yundu.
Night Manor.
Butler Wang saw Lin Xuan.
He hurriedly walked up to him.
He grabbed Lin Xuan and carefully looked him up and down.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked in confusion.
"I'm checking to see if you're injured," Butler Wang muttered.
If Young Master Lin were injured, it would be a huge sin.
"It's good that you're fine." Butler Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
He clutched his heart. "Young Master Lin, you really shouldn't do such dangerous things in the future. I'm getting old and can't handle the fright."
He never would have imagined that Young Master Lin had actually been taken away.
If something really happened to Young Master Lin, even his death wouldn't make up for it.
"Don't worry, there won't be such dangerous things happening again," Lin Xuan said.
Shang, he had dealt with.
Su Sheng, he had also dealt with.
There was no one left to threaten Hua's life, so naturally, he wouldn't need to take action anymore.
"That's good."
Butler Wang nodded.
Su Hua walked over and cast a cold glance at Butler Wang.
Butler Wang kept his head down, not daring to look up at Su Hua.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
It must be that Butler Wang helping him hide things from Hua had been discovered.
He had forced Butler Wang to keep it a secret from Hua, so he couldn't let Butler Wang get implicated.
The dining table was filled with dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.
"Hua, let me feed you," Lin Xuan said.
"No need, I can do it myself," Su Hua said.
Lin Xuan's heart was drumming.
In the past, Hua had never refused him feeding her.
Why this time...
Could Hua still be thinking about the fact that he lied to her?
The atmosphere in the dining room was exceptionally heavy.
What Lin Xuan didn't know was that he was completely overthinking it.
Su Hua wasn't throwing a tantrum at all.
She was just thinking about finishing the meal quickly so she could eat him up.
Lin Xuan remained on edge the whole time.
They finally finished eating.
Su Hua went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
Fresh out of the bath, her cheeks were a bit flushed from the steam, looking as beautiful as a lotus emerging from clear water.
Lin Xuan was still worried about Butler Wang's situation.
He was afraid that after he fell asleep, or tomorrow morning, Hua would punish Butler Wang.
"Um, Hua."
Lin Xuan said, "I threatened Butler Wang to help me keep it from you. Please don't punish him."
"Heh..."
Su Hua let out a low chuckle.
"Xuan is actually starting to care about others."
"I can spare him from punishment, but Xuan, you will have to pay a price."
Hearing Su Hua's words, Lin Xuan immediately felt that his kidneys wouldn't be able to escape this time.
"Hua, what price?"
Lin Xuan asked weakly.
"Half a month," Su Hua said.
Lin Xuan was speechless.
Holy crap!
Half a month!
"If I don't give Xuan a harsher punishment, Xuan won't learn his lesson."
Su Hua pinned Lin Xuan down on the bed.
"Xuan, you can't escape this time."
Lin Xuan was speechless.
He could guarantee that this time, he truly wouldn't put himself in danger again.
"Hua."
Lin Xuan's voice was very weak. "Could we reduce it by a few days?"
"Does Xuan feel like he can't handle it?" Su Hua raised an eyebrow.
"Then half a month it is!"
Lin Xuan said through gritted teeth.
A man could absolutely never say he couldn't handle it.
At worst,
he would just let Su Hua exert more effort while he slacked off a bit.
Otherwise, half a month would really kill him.
"That's my good boy, Xuan."
Su Hua curled her lips in satisfaction. "Untie it." Su Hua pulled Lin Xuan's hand to the sash of the nightgown at her waist.
Su Hua wasn't wearing anything underneath the nightgown.
The nightgown's sash fell to the floor.
The black nightgown parted, revealing an eye-catching expanse of white.
