“By the way,” Lin Xuan began, asking, “Where have they taken Huo Shen?”
A subordinate respectfully replied, “It was a plane heading to the Black Triangle.”
“Look into it,” Lin Xuan said. “Find out where Hua’s plane is flying to.”
If Hua was also heading to the Golden Triangle.
Then he could basically confirm that Hua was the Dark Rose.
“Boss, why are you checking on President Su?” The subordinate looked puzzled.
Weren’t they just talking about Huo Shen and the Dark Rose a moment ago?
How did they suddenly jump to President Su?
Wasn’t that too big of a leap?
“Just do it,” Lin Xuan said. “I need to verify something—to see if it’s really what I suspect.”
“Yes, Chief.”
The subordinate nodded respectfully.
He could tell that Lin Xuan’s tone was somewhat urgent.
Not daring to delay, the subordinate immediately arranged for personnel to investigate Su Hua.
Within less than fifteen minutes.
The subordinate called Lin Xuan again to report.
“Boss, I’ve found out. President Su’s flight was at seven tonight, heading to the Black Triangle.”
Lin Xuan’s eyes widened.
Hua really was heading to the Black Triangle.
Just as he’d guessed!
He could almost confirm it now.
Hua was the Dark Rose!
No wonder.
He had always felt that this Dark Rose was strangely familiar.
And no wonder the Dark Rose had come on to him right from the start.
Wait.
Hua only loved him; she wouldn’t get close to any other man. Since Hua was the Dark Rose, back in the Black Triangle when the Dark Rose had flirted with him…
Lin Xuan slapped his forehead.
Hua must have known long ago that he was the Golden Dragon Guild’s chief. She had just secretly teased him without calling him out. That’s why she said those suggestive things to him back then.
Hadn’t he disguised himself pretty well?
He’d worn a human-skin mask and changed his voice too.
Hua still managed to see through it?
That must be why she later invited him, as the Carefree Doctor, to treat her illness—so she could flirt with him a little more.
Lin Xuan sat down on the sofa, feeling a bit defeated.
He should have realized it sooner.
His identity as the Carefree Doctor was deeply tied to the Golden Dragon Guild. Since Hua already knew he was the Carefree Doctor, if she dug deeper, she could definitely figure out that he was the Golden Dragon Guild’s chief.
His cover had been blown completely in front of Hua.
Hua had only exposed his Carefree Doctor identity without revealing his Golden Dragon Guild chief status. She was probably saving that for later, as part of some punishment.
“No,”
Lin Xuan muttered, rubbing his chin. “From now on, I’d better go to the Golden Dragon Guild less often so Hua has no excuse to find out about my chief identity.”
If Hua ever got the chance to expose him,
a night of punishment in bed would be unavoidable.
But then again, knowing that Hua was the Dark Rose was also a trump card for him.
If she revealed he was the Golden Dragon Guild chief, he could simultaneously expose her as the Dark Rose.
Perfect.
Lin Xuan’s heart eased a little.
Come to think of it,
Lin Xuan mused, scratching his chin, he wondered how Hua would deal with this Huo Shen.
Curiosity rose in his heart.
He called his subordinates again.
“Go,”
Lin Xuan ordered. “Find out how badly the Dark Rose has treated Huo Shen.”
“I want details—the more detailed, the better.”
Watching a scumbag like Huo Shen, who coveted another man’s woman, meet his downfall—that was a show he’d thoroughly enjoy.
In the Black Triangle.
A dark, gloomy basement.
Huo Shen, still in a sack, was tossed carelessly onto the floor.
“Who? Who grabbed me?” Huo Shen muttered through clenched teeth.
“Let me go right now!”
The Dark Rose members stared coldly at Huo Shen.
Even after being caught, he was still this arrogant.
They shook their heads.
After shouting for a long time without anyone responding, Huo Shen gradually calmed down, and fear crept into his heart.
Whoever brought him here wouldn’t let him off easily.
He had to find a way to escape.
“I have money,”
Huo Shen gritted out. “If you kidnapped me for money, I’m willing to give it to you.”
A man could always earn more money if he kept his life.
He had to protect his life at all costs!
“How much do you want? One million? Two million? Three? Five? Or ten million?”
“I can give you all of it,” Huo Shen said.
The Dark Rose members remained unmoved.
One of them finally spoke. “Give up. No matter how much money you offer, we’re never letting you go.”
This was an order directly from their leader.
Let Huo Shen go? Only if they wanted to die.
Huo Shen clenched his fists.
Despair overtook him.
Who had captured him?
Was it Lin Xuan?
Thinking this, Huo Shen began to firmly believe it was Lin Xuan.
It had to be Lin Xuan.
He’d known Lin Xuan wouldn’t let him off so easily.
Back then, in front of Old Master Su, he had dealt with him so lightly, merely to leave a good impression on that old bastard of the Su family.
He pretended to send him abroad.
After sending him abroad, he had people capture him!
Drag him here to torture him!
"Lin Xuan!" Huo Shen gritted his teeth.
A figure appeared—Su Hua, dressed in a black trench coat and black boots, her wavy hair cascading down, her lips painted a bold scarlet red.
The members of Night Rose rose to their feet one after another, calling out in reverence,
"Leader."
Su Hua walked step by step toward Huo Shen.
The sack over Huo Shen’s body was removed.
"Lin Xuan, you..."
Huo Shen was about to curse.
He lifted his head, and Su Hua’s figure suddenly burst into his sight.
Babes, I don’t know why, but my head hurts so much today. I’ve only written this much after three hours, and I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the neighboring province, Guangji. I need to sleep early. Ugh, I feel like as the story nears its end, I’ve been getting lazy, wah wah wah.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
