Huo Shen Has Been Taken Away

“Come here, hmm?”

Su Hua took Lin Xuan’s hand.

Hong Yuanjie, who was driving in the driver’s seat, had already lowered the partition, completely separating the front seats from the back seat.

Hong Yuanjie was no naive young man.

He could imagine what Su Hua and Lin Xuan might be doing in the back seat. In the past, this would have infuriated him.

He would have cursed under his breath, calling Lin Xuan a seductive fox who spent all his time luring their Miss Su.

But now, he felt nothing but joy.

He was glad to see Su Hua and Lin Xuan getting along so well.

Hong Yuanjie now believed Lin Xuan was the most worthy match for Su Hua, and he hoped their relationship would remain this strong.

Under Lin Xuan’s attentions, Su Hua’s body had already softened into a puddle.

Her lips were slightly parted.

Her expression and the flush on her face made it look as if she had been thoroughly ravished by a man.

Su Hua had initially planned to help her dear Xuan with his desires afterward.

But after Lin Xuan’s actions,

her body was so weak she couldn’t move.

She just leaned against Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan noticed Su Hua’s unusual state.

A flicker of doubt rose in his eyes.

It had only been half an hour—how had his Hua Bao turned out like this?

She seemed much more sensitive than before.

Was it because of the pregnancy?

Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up as a thought crossed his mind.

If Hua Bao remained this sensitive throughout her pregnancy, he could easily tempt her. He would seize this chance to fully display his manly authority.

Although Hua Bao was pregnant, there was still a period during which they could cautiously try intimate relations.

When the time came, he would take great care of her.

“Ah Xuan,” Su Hua spoke after recovering for a while, “I have to go on a business trip tonight. Wait for me at home, okay?”

Lin Xuan thought that since Hua Bao was pregnant now, she couldn’t drag him to bed for that sort of thing.

Besides, he wanted to stay by her side and take good care of her.

“Hua Bao, let me come with you,” Lin Xuan said.

He expected Su Hua to agree without hesitation.

But she refused.

“Ah Xuan, I can handle the deal on my own. Just wait for me at home,” Su Hua said.

Lin Xuan was taken aback.

This didn’t make sense.

Didn’t Hua Bao enjoy having him by her side?

Why was she refusing this time?

Could it be that whatever she was doing this time wasn’t something she wanted him to know about?

“Alright, then,”

Lin Xuan didn’t insist. “Hua Bao, take care of yourself.”

“Mm.”

Su Hua leaned in and quickly kissed Lin Xuan on the cheek.

“I’ll finish things as soon as I can and come back to you. Ah Xuan, be good and wait for me at home, okay?”

That evening,

Su Hua boarded a plane abroad.

Lin Xuan’s subordinates from the Golden Dragon Gang reported to him.

“Boss, Huo Shen has been taken. It seems someone was waiting for him—he was snatched within an hour of landing.”

Lin Xuan frowned.

Anyone who could snatch Huo Shen from his grasp was no ordinary person.

If Huo Shen had such capable men at his disposal, he would have brought them the day he tried to strike against Lin Xuan.

That left only one possibility—

those people wanted to take Huo Shen down too.

Lin Xuan stroked his chin.

Who could it be?

Last time, someone had taken Chen Mo, and this time it was Huo Shen.

Why did this person always like to snatch people from him?

Lin Xuan suddenly grew curious about who this person was.

“Investigate and find out who took Huo Shen,” Lin Xuan ordered.

“Yes, sir.”

The subordinate acknowledged.

“Also,” Lin Xuan added, “once you find out who it is, check if Huo Shen and the kidnapper have any connection, and what their goal might be.”

“Understood.”

The subordinate immediately set off to investigate as Lin Xuan had instructed.

Two hours later.

The subordinate called Lin Xuan again: “Boss, we found out. Huo Shen was taken by the Night Rose group.”

“Our people overheard members of Night Rose saying that Dark Night Rose intends to deal with Huo Shen personally.”

This was not easy to uncover.

It was only by chance that their people overheard the Night Rose members discussing it.

Lin Xuan was stunned.

It was Night Rose again.

Last time, this same Night Rose had taken Chen Mo.

Such a coincidence?

Everyone who had been taken turned out to be people targeting him?

“Is there any connection between Huo Shen and Night Rose?” Lin Xuan frowned deeply.

“No,” the subordinate shook his head.

“We haven’t found any relationship between them at all.”

“Then why would Dark Night Rose target Huo Shen?” Lin Xuan rubbed his chin, looking puzzled.

Now that Huo Shen had left the Su Group and had not built up much influence elsewhere, Huo Shen was of no use to Night Rose.

Why would Dark Night Rose personally deal with Huo Shen?

The subordinate thought for a moment.

“Boss,” he said, “a possibility just occurred to me.”

“What possibility?” Lin Xuan asked with a frown.

The subordinate replied, “That Dark Night Rose has a crush on you and has been secretly watching you. So, anyone who offends you, she eliminates.”

“How could that be possib—” Lin Xuan started to deny it.

But then he stopped, frowning deeply.

Come to think of it, it was actually possible. When he first met Dark Night Rose, she had teased him with both words and actions.

She also said she had a lover herself.

She only loved her lover.

And this Dark Night Rose gave him a very, very familiar feeling.

He had only met Dark Night Rose once.

For a leader of an underground gang who had built Night Rose into the top gang, she wouldn’t secretly eliminate those who offended him just from meeting him once or twice.

Lin Xuan recalled what Dark Night Rose looked like.

Now that he thought about it, Dark Night Rose’s figure, height, and eyes all seemed very similar to Su Hua’s.

Could it be…

Oh, right, Su Hua was on a business trip tonight, and the timing matched when Dark Night Rose personally went after Huo Shen.

Su Hua had seen Huo Shen target Lin Xuan and had seen Lin Xuan let him off so easily.

She probably wouldn’t have let it go.

It was very possible she would secretly go after Huo Shen.

And there was another thing.

That time he met Dark Night Rose, Su Hua claimed she was in the U.S. negotiating a deal, but she had actually ended up at the Black Triangle.
