Su Hua heard Lin Xuan's answer, and her eyes curved slightly in delight.
That's right.
She and Xuan would always be together.
Even in death, they would die together.
"Chen Ling, Dean Chen is my benefactor. I originally intended to kill the person who smashed his urn."
When Lin Xuan faced Chen Ling, his eyes were freezing cold, devoid of any emotion.
"However, you are the dean's daughter, and I promised him that I would take good care of you."
"This time, I will let you go. Consider it as me fully repaying the dean's kindness."
"Go abroad, and never come back."
Lin Xuan's words were essentially a death sentence for Chen Ling.
Chen Ling was too crazy.
He wouldn't keep a menace like her in the country.
Lest she do something to hurt Hua, or damage the relationship between Hua and him.
He hadn't sent Chen Ling to a mental asylum like he did with Qin Ruoyao; he had already shown the utmost tolerance.
Su Hua's lips curled up.
She was quite satisfied with how Xuan handled this.
Once Chen Ling was sent abroad, she would never have the chance to pester Xuan again.
Because she would make sure Chen Ling stayed abroad and could never return for the rest of her life.
"No, I don't want to go abroad."
Chen Ling's face turned pale. She cried and pleaded, "Brother Lin Xuan, for the sake of us being childhood friends and growing up together, just let me go, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't pester you anymore."
As long as she didn't leave the country.
Then she would still have a chance to be with Brother Lin Xuan.
She had just been too impatient this time.
She should have waited until Brother Lin Xuan and Su Hua had a fight, or broke up, before trying to seduce Brother Lin Xuan.
Su Hua made a phone call. "Come in."
Two men wearing black suits and sunglasses immediately walked over.
"Boss Su," they called out respectfully.
"Take her away," Su Hua ordered.
"Yes."
They stepped forward and pinned Chen Ling down.
Su Hua looked at Lin Xuan, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Leave her to me, how about that?"
Lin Xuan nodded.
"Alright."
"No. You can't." Chen Ling shook her head in a panic. "Brother Lin Xuan, don't let her handle me. Even if you're sending me abroad, have your own people arrange it, okay?"
"Su Hua will torture me."
Chen Ling had a gut feeling.
Su Hua definitely wouldn't let her off so easily.
Lin Xuan said, "Hua isn't that kind of person, you can rest assured."
Su Hua's red lips curled up slightly.
But.
She was exactly that kind of person.
This Chen Ling had always been coveting her Xuan, and she had endured her for a very, very long time.
If she had disappeared or been seriously injured before, people would definitely investigate.
It would inevitably trace back to her.
So she had held back time and time again.
Now, Xuan no longer cared about her and was even sending her abroad.
She naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to deal with Chen Ling.
Chen Ling bit her lip and said, "Brother Lin Xuan, don't believe this woman. She isn't as harmless as she appears on the surface."
Although she hadn't done anything to her yet.
But, she had used manipulative tricks, and! The way she looked at her sometimes was extremely terrifying...
Like she wanted to slice her into pieces.
Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold.
"Do you think I don't know what my own woman is like?"
"Hua is very gentle and kind, how could she possibly go and torture you?"
Those two shadow guards almost wanted to roll their eyes.
Just how thick was the filter Young Master Lin had for Boss Su?
Boss Su had previously been caught red-handed killing Su Hai right in the living room of the Night Garden.
And Young Master Lin still thought she was pure and kind?
The two shadow guards truly couldn't associate Su Hua with purity and kindness.
"Take her away," Lin Xuan said coldly.
"Yes."
Chen Ling was dragged away.
Lin Xuan looked at Su Hua nervously and explained, "Hua, the main reason I came over today was because Chen Ling called me, saying that Dean Chen's portrait and ashes had been destroyed."
"I was anxious, so I rushed over. Later, I checked the surveillance footage and realized Chen Ling did it herself, just to lure me here."
"Hua, I'm sorry. I didn't know Chen Ling would be this crazy. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
He had thought about dealing with Chen Ling's matter quickly and then going back.
He didn't expect Hua to actually come over.
Fortunately, he hadn't let Chen Ling touch him, or he would be doomed.
No, to be precise, his kidneys would be doomed.
Lin Xuan looked at Su Hua apprehensively.
Su Hua smiled slightly. "This time Xuan didn't mean it, so I won't blame Xuan."
Lin Xuan's hanging heart finally settled.
"It's just that..." Su Hua's red lips leaned close to the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth, "Xuan just looked at Chen Ling's body. Tell me, how should I punish Xuan?"
Lin Xuan: "..."
Sure enough, he still couldn't escape.
"Xuan, we should go back now," Su Hua said.
"Hua, wait. I want to light a stick of incense for Dean Chen," Lin Xuan said.
"Okay."
Lin Xuan went to offer incense to Dean Chen, and Su Hua stood right beside him.
A moment later.
Lin Xuan said, "Hua, let's go back."
"Mhm." Su Hua nodded.
On their way back, they even had a late-night snack.
Just at a roadside stall.
Lin Xuan took a few casual bites and then headed back.
Lin Xuan's mind was completely filled with the fact that Chen Ling, a biological daughter, had destroyed Dean Chen's ashes.
His heart felt heavy.
Su Hua looked at his demeanor and frowned.
After taking a shower.
Lin Xuan sat on the bed looking at his phone, while Su Hua went into the bathroom.
When she came out.
She was wearing a snow-white silk nightgown.
Lin Xuan remembered the words Su Hua had said about punishing him at the orphanage today.
Lin Xuan thought Su Hua was going to do something to him.
Su Hua lay down on the bed.
Lin Xuan was already prepared.
But Su Hua simply turned off the lights.
She leaned against Lin Xuan's chest and said, "Xuan, let's sleep."
In the darkness, Lin Xuan looked at Su Hua in confusion. "Hua, didn't you say you were going to punish me?"
"Xuan is tired today. We'll talk about the punishment later," Su Hua said.
Lin Xuan knew that Su Hua was being considerate of his mood, which was why she didn't drag him into doing those things.
How fortunate he was.
To have a girlfriend like Hua...
Lin Xuan was indeed tired today. In less than five minutes, he fell into a deep sleep.
An hour later, Su Hua got up from the bed.
She changed into a black qipao and walked out of the room.
It was time to go settle the score with Chen Ling...

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.
