"Tell those people to continue keeping an eye on Su Corporation. I refuse to believe she’ll never show up there!" Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth.
"Yes, Miss," the bodyguard replied respectfully.
Shen Qianqian got into her family's car.
Her expression was stubborn. "Lin Xuan, sooner or later, you’ll be mine!"
Shen Qianqian returned to the Shen residence.
Shen Mao, looking haggard, sat in the study, staring at the content on his computer.
"Dad," Shen Qianqian walked into the study, "can you assign more people to me?"
She wanted to ensure her plan against that woman was foolproof.
So she needed more manpower.
Shen Mao frowned. "Six people aren’t enough?"
"No," Shen Qianqian shook her head. "That woman is too arrogant. I haven’t found the right moment to act. Today, in front of everyone, she pushed me. Look, my knees and hands are injured."
It was actually Lin Xuan who had pushed her.
But Shen Qianqian stubbornly believed that if it weren’t for Su Hua using some trick to make Lin Xuan despise her, he wouldn’t have treated her like this.
So she blamed everything on Su Hua.
Shen Mao, who usually indulged Shen Qianqian and granted her every wish, didn’t comply this time.
"Qianqian, six people should be enough. The company is going through some issues right now, and we can’t spare more manpower," Shen Mao said, massaging his temples wearily. "By the way, deal with that woman quickly. I’ll need those people for something else in a few days."
Recently, the company had been hit by a series of crises, leaving him no time to focus on Shen Qianqian’s matters.
"Fine," Shen Qianqian nodded dejectedly.
After Shen Qianqian left, Shen Mao went back to reviewing documents.
He had a feeling someone was manipulating the Shen Corporation’s affairs, but he couldn’t figure out who it was.
The opponent’s methods were sophisticated, and their power was formidable.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to push Shen Corporation, one of the top companies in Yundu City, to this point.
Who had they provoked?
Shen Mao racked his brain but couldn’t come up with an answer.
Shen Qianqian returned home, still fuming. She went to Chen Yu’s house.
Behind a closed door, hiding from Chen Yu’s seriously ill mother, she began tormenting Chen Yu.
Chen Yu clenched her teeth, enduring Shen Qianqian’s beating without a sound.
After Shen Qianqian left, Chen Yu changed into clean clothes and put on a mask to hide her swollen face, afraid her mother would see.
She then carried the medicine into her mother’s room.
"Mom, wake up. It’s time to take your medicine."
Chen Yu tried to shake her mother awake but instead found her mother’s face pale and a large pool of blood on the bed.
Her mother had slit her wrists.
"Mom—"
Chen Yu cried out in anguish.
Beside her mother was a letter that read, "Yu Yu, I know you’ve been bullied because of me and your father. You’re my beloved daughter, and I want you to live your own life without having to endure any more suffering because of me. Yu Yu, don’t be sad. Your father passed away in a car accident last week, and I’m just going to join him."
Tear stains had dried on Chen’s mother’s face.
She had witnessed her daughter being tormented by Shen Qianqian and couldn’t bear to be a burden anymore.
"Mom—"
Chen Yu knelt on the floor, clutching the letter to her chest as she wept.
In the private room, after Shen Qianqian left, Su Hua didn’t let Lin Xuan go. She straddled him and said, "Ah Xuan, now that the nuisance is gone, let’s continue what we started."
Su Hua mimicked the poses from a romance novel, gradually drawing Lin Xuan deeper into her charm.
Another book had taught her that women shouldn’t be too domineering in front of men. They should play the role of the delicate one when necessary.
So Su Hua no longer forced Lin Xuan as she had before.
Instead, she enticed him, letting him take the lead, though occasionally she would take charge. The book said this was part of the spice in a relationship, adding freshness to their bond.
Su Hua wanted Lin Xuan to be completely dependent on her, body and soul, with no room for anyone else.
She had even stopped taking the tonics Jiang Qing had recommended.
In the end, Lin Xuan carried Su Hua out of the private room.
Jiang Qing checked the time. It had been three hours since Shen Qianqian left. So, they had spent those three hours in the room…
Not bad, not bad at all.
It must have been quite intense.
Just look at Su Hua’s lips—they were so red and swollen, though there was a small cut at the corner.
Back at Night Garden, Lin Xuan placed Su Hua on the sofa in the bedroom and knelt down to apply medicine to the corner of her mouth.
Su Hua watched him with a smile the entire time.
Lin Xuan frowned disapprovingly. "Hua Bao, don’t do this again in the future."
Su Hua didn’t respond.
As long as Lin Xuan was happy, she was willing to do anything…
Lin Li had sent members of the underground organization Black Net to capture Lin Xuan, but there had been no news of success.
He couldn’t help but contact them again.
"What’s going on? It’s been so long, and you still haven’t succeeded?"
The person in charge replied, "We don’t know his whereabouts. How can we succeed? My people have been staking out Qing University and Tianmu Corporation, but they’ve found nothing."
"Sir, please be patient."
Lin Li thought of Su Hua.
If Lin Xuan wasn’t at Qing University or Tianmu Corporation, he must be at Su Hua’s place.
But he didn’t dare tell them that Lin Xuan was being kept by Su Hua.
Given Su Hua’s status, they wouldn’t dare touch Lin Xuan, or they might demand a huge sum of money to take action.
Lin Li had no choice but to wait.
"Lin Xuan, enjoy your freedom while it lasts," Lin Li said darkly.
"Make the most of your remaining days."
Once Black Net captured Lin Xuan, his good days would be over.
Lin Li went downstairs.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Qingyan had brought Jiang Shuqin back to the Lin residence. Jiang Shuqin was in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.
"Why? Why has everyone betrayed me?" Jiang Shuqin kept muttering.
"Big sister, second sister, what’s wrong with Mom?" Lin Li asked worriedly.
Jiang Shuqin’s vacant gaze fell on Lin Li.
For some reason, she saw Wang Yajun in him.
"Bitch! You’re Wang Yajun’s son, aren’t you? You and your mother are both shameless bitches!"
She began clawing and scratching at Lin Li.
Lin Li’s eyes widened in shock.
His heart raced.
What did Jiang Shuqin mean?
Was he Wang Yajun’s son?
Did the Lin family know about his true origins?
Lin Li’s face turned pale. If Jiang Shuqin found out he was the son of a mistress, she would surely kick him out of the Lin family and bring back Lin Xuan, her real son.
Then he would lose everything.
What should he do?

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life.

However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink.

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
