“You're going to start a game company?” Wang Dahe exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes,” Lin Xuan smiled. “The gaming industry is quite profitable. I don’t want to miss out.”
Moreover, gaming is one of the main business lines of Starlight Group.
What he wanted was to seize the gaming market from Starlight Entertainment, expanding from the entertainment industry to gaming.
He would destroy the very business that the Lin family prided themselves on.
A glimmer of darkness flashed through Lin Xuan's eyes.
Wang Dahe nearly fell to his knees, “Godfather.”
Halfway through the meal, Wang Dahe went to the restroom.
Lin Xuan made a phone call.
“Young Master Lin,” the bodyguard said respectfully.
“Someone’s following me,” Lin Xuan’s fingertips tapped lightly on the table, his voice icy.
The bodyguard frowned, “I’ll deal with them immediately.”
“No need,” Lin Xuan smiled, “Let’s play a game of drawing out the snake. I want to see who’s tailing me.”
“Hide in the shadows,” Lin Xuan instructed.
“But, Young Master Lin, your safety…” the bodyguard frowned.
“Don’t worry,” Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, “I can handle it. Just stay hidden and intervene if anything goes wrong.”
This bodyguard had never seen Lin Xuan fight, only heard stories suggesting Lin Xuan was quite skilled.
“Understood,” the bodyguard hesitated for a moment before respectfully assenting.
“Head to the vicinity of the Xuanyu Cake Shop later. Remember, just follow discreetly; don’t reveal yourselves.”
Lin Xuan and Wang Dahe were at a restaurant in the city center.
Su Hua’s enemies wouldn’t dare to openly attack Lin Xuan, so he didn’t bother having the bodyguards follow him.
But Lin Xuan hadn’t expected that someone would actually have the nerve.
Lin Xuan ended the call.
He picked up a cup of tea, his eyes cold.
It just so happened that his skills had improved significantly during his training in the space. He was itching for a fight, and these trackers could serve as his practice targets.
Wang Dahe returned after washing his hands.
After a while, they finished eating. Lin Xuan signaled, “Check, please.”
“Yes,” the waiter checked the bill, “Sir, the total is sixteen thousand yuan.”
Wang Dahe frowned.
That doesn’t seem right. Shouldn’t it be nine thousand?
At that moment, another waiter approached, “Sir, here’s what you requested.”
“This is…” Wang Dahe frowned.
“This is for your mother,” Lin Xuan smiled.
Wang Dahe was moved to tears—such a great friend.
Now that Lin Xuan was wealthy, Wang Dahe didn’t hesitate to take the packed food.
Lin Xuan said, “I have something to take care of. You can take a taxi back by yourself.”
“Alright,” Wang Dahe nodded.
Wang Dahe hailed a taxi and left.
Shen Qianqian’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
With that annoying man gone, her opportunity had arrived.
Lin Xuan approached his Rolls-Royce, opened the door, and glanced toward Shen Qianqian’s car, his lips curling slightly.
Don’t blame me.
Inside the Rolls-Royce, Lin Xuan pressed the accelerator, and the car sped forward.
“Hurry up, follow him,” Shen Qianqian said excitedly.
“Yes, Miss,” the driver stepped on the gas, following closely behind Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan drove to the vicinity of a cake shop.
Su Hua liked desserts, and he planned to buy some cakes for her.
This cake shop was famous for its delicious treats, and although the location was a bit remote, it was still possible to drive right up to the entrance.
Lin Xuan intentionally parked in a secluded spot to give his trackers a chance.
The nearby buildings were slated for demolition, and the residents had already moved out, leaving the area deserted.
Shen Qianqian’s heart pounded.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Looks like destiny is on my side, it's meant for me to be with Brother Lin Xuan."
Just the first day of school, and it had given her such a great chance to meet Lin Xuan.
“Have the hired thugs arrived?” Shen Qianqian asked anxiously.
This couldn’t go wrong. Otherwise, she might not get such a good opportunity again.
“They’re all set,” the bodyguard nodded.
“Great. When we head back, make sure they block Lin Xuan.”
“Oh, and tell them not to hurt Lin Xuan,” Shen Qianqian cautioned.
“Understood,” the bodyguard nodded.
“Carry on with the plan then.”
Shen Qianqian sat in the car, watching as the thugs approached the nearby alley.
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Soon, very soon, Lin Xuan would fall for her.
With her beauty and her courage to stand before him, Lin Xuan would definitely develop feelings for her.
Lin Xuan carried a box of exquisite cakes and walked into the alley. The sun had set, and the sky was darkening.
Lin Xuan heard footsteps, paused, and his lips curved.
Here they come.
Three thugs emerged, blocking his path.
“Where do you think you’re going, buddy?”
Lin Xuan glanced behind him and, as expected, another three thugs appeared, completely cutting off his escape.
He sized them up, frowning.
They looked like small-time hoodlums, not like assassins sent by Su Hua’s enemies.
Compared to these thugs, Lin Xuan would have preferred them to be professionals.
“Who are you?” Lin Xuan asked, frowning.
“Buddy,” the thug leader spat out a piece of grass from his mouth, “I can tell you’re a rich guy by your outfit. I don’t have any other intentions. Just hand over everything valuable on you.”
“What if I refuse?” Lin Xuan smirked.
“If you don’t, then don’t blame us,” the thug leader sneered.
“Boys, strip him of anything valuable!”
The thugs closed in on Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan simply folded up his sleeves at a leisurely pace.
Just as the situation was about to erupt, a woman’s shout rang out, “Wait!”
Shen Qianqian appeared.
Lin Xuan frowned.
Shen Qianqian stood in front of Lin Xuan. “I’m telling you, robbery is against the law!”
Lin Xuan suddenly recalled that from the passenger seat of the car following him, he had vaguely seen a woman’s face.
At the time, he felt it was familiar but couldn’t place it.
She was Shen Qianqian.
No coincidence there—the thugs were probably hired by Shen Qianqian.
Lin Xuan looked at Shen Qianqian standing in front of him, his frown deepening.
So, Shen Qianqian was staging a rescue?
No doubt her bodyguards were nearby, waiting for the right moment to save her.
Lin Xuan rubbed his temples.
Damn it!
Such a mess!
He couldn’t let Hua Bao find out about this.
Shen Qianqian said, “Lin Xuan, don’t be afraid.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not scared,” Lin Xuan leaned against the wall, his hand in his pocket, ready to enjoy the show.
He wanted to see what Shen Qianqian would do next.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
