Jiang Qing was utterly baffled.
Why would President Su hire a dance instructor?
President Su didn’t even care about her cousins or other relatives, so it was highly unlikely she’d hire a teacher for them.
As for hiring one for herself—that was even more improbable.
"President Su, why are you hiring a dance instructor?" Jiang Qing asked, puzzled.
Su Hua: "I want to learn to dance."
Jiang Qing: "???"
President Su… learning to dance?
What was going on?
Su Hua tapped her fingers lightly on the desk, her crimson lips curving into a smile. "I’ll perform for Xuan. I looked it up—men love watching women dance."
It’d be a fun little flirtation.
Jiang Qing: "..."
So that was the reason.
Great.
President Su’s lovesickness was beyond cure.
"President Su," Jiang Qing suggested, "Actually, classical jazz dance has more charm and is better at seducing men."
Su Hua frowned.
Was that true?
She picked up her phone and glanced at a video, her lips quirking.
This did look quite good.
"Arrange it," Su Hua ordered.
"Right away, I’ll get it done."
As Jiang Qing was about to leave, Su Hua suddenly added, "Double your bonus this month. Go inform accounting yourself."
Jiang Qing reminded her, "President Su, you already promised me double this month."
Su Hua: "Then triple it."
"Got it!" Jiang Qing couldn’t hide her delight. "Thank you, President Su!"
Jiang Qing had her team clear out an empty room next to the CEO’s office and turned it into a dance studio.
The classical jazz instructor was on standby at all times.
Whenever Su Hua wasn’t busy, she’d practice. Her body was naturally flexible, and she had a strong aptitude—just the first day of practice showed remarkable progress.
Jiang Qing watched Su Hua dance from the sidelines.
She couldn’t help but think: With President Su’s alluring, seductive moves, what man could resist?
Young Master Lin would probably be completely spellbound.
Tsk, tsk.
He’d end up tangled in bed with President Su again.
Meanwhile, on Wang Ba’s side—after waiting impatiently for over two days—Lin Xuan finally arrived.
"Second Master, the person you’ve been waiting for is here," a subordinate rushed in to report.
"He’s here?"
Wang Ba’s eyes lit up. Finally!
He strode out to greet Lin Xuan.
"Boss," Wang Ba said with a cheerful grin, his attitude respectful. Though Lin Xuan had only taken over their gang a few days ago and rarely showed up, the development strategies he’d proposed had already brought significant progress.
Not to mention, using the alias "Dr. Free Wanderer" to heal people had also brought the gang plenty of resources.
Who knew their boss was so versatile? Skilled in computers, martial arts, sharpshooting, and even medicine to a godlike level.
They’d really struck gold.
At this point, Wang Ba had no complaints about Lin Xuan being their leader.
Being second-in-command wasn’t bad either.
"Call me ‘Young Master Lin’ in front of Lin Li later, not ‘Boss,’" Lin Xuan instructed.
If Lin Li found out he was the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang, it might cause unnecessary trouble. He didn’t want to deal with that.
"Understood," Wang Ba nodded.
Soon, Wang Ba noticed the dark circles under Lin Xuan’s eyes and asked curiously, "Boss, what have you been up to these past few days? You look like you’ve been drained dry by a seductress."
Lin Xuan paused mid-step, giving Wang Ba a deadpan look.
Wasn’t that exactly what happened? Hua’er, that little temptress, had sucked him dry.
He had no idea how a woman could be more obsessed with that than a man—and so skilled at teasing him too. It was downright unnatural!
"Spending time with my girlfriend. What do you think?" Lin Xuan said dryly.
Wang Ba: "..."
So the boss had been… with President Su this whole time?
Damn!
Why did it feel like he was being shown off to?
Wang Ba and Lin Xuan entered the basement together.
Lin Li was still tied to a wooden post.
The Golden Dragon Gang had been treating him well—feeding him good food and drink—all to ensure he’d last longer for their… entertainment.
When Lin Li saw Lin Xuan, his pupils shrank. "You! Lin Xuan!"
Lin Xuan casually took a seat in a chair.
Wang Ba stepped forward, massaging Lin Xuan’s shoulders. "Bos—uh, Young Master Lin, I’ve learned some massage techniques. How does this feel?" he asked obsequiously.
"Not bad," Lin Xuan nodded.
Wang Ba grinned. "Glad you like it, Young Master Lin."
Lin Li frowned, watching Wang Ba fawn over Lin Xuan.
What the hell was going on?
Why was Wang Ba acting so subservient to Lin Xuan?
"Long time no see, little brother," Lin Xuan said, crossing his legs with a smirk.
"Lin Xuan! You actually paid the Black Tiger Gang to deal with me?" Lin Li glared.
Lin Xuan raised a brow. "What, you can hire them to come after me, but I can’t do the same to you?"
Lin Li clenched his fists.
"What do you plan to do to me?" he gritted out.
Lin Xuan smiled. "Oh, just return the favor—with interest."
If Lin Xuan was planning to do to him what he’d tried to do to Lin Xuan…
Realization dawned, and Lin Li’s face paled.
His… thing was already gone.
If Lin Xuan tried to remove it, he’d find out.
And if that got exposed…
During his time abroad, Lin Li had calmed down enough to realize the kidnapping probably wasn’t Lin Xuan’s doing.
If it had been, Lin Xuan would’ve flaunted his… condition to the world by now.
Lin Xuan smirked. "I’ll make sure you suffer. And, of course, turn you into a eunuch."
"Lin Xuan! You can’t do this to me!" Lin Li shouted, frantic. "Mom and Dad adore me! If you hurt me, they’ll never take you back!"
Lin Xuan chuckled darkly. "You really think I give a damn about Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin? After how the Lin family treated me, you think I’d ever want to go back?"
Lin Li’s face twisted with fury.
True—Lin Xuan didn’t need the Lin family. Not when he had Su Hua backing him.
She’d helped him build Skyline Corporation. With her support, he’d probably surpass the Starlight Group soon.
He’d originally hired the Black Tiger Gang to cut off Lin Xuan’s… assets, ensuring Su Hua would lose interest.
But it backfired.
Not only was Lin Xuan unharmed—he was the one captured!
He couldn’t stand losing to Lin Xuan like this.
When Lin Xuan cut ties with the family, he thought he’d won everything. But then Lin Xuan latched onto Su Hua.
Now, he was the one being trampled underfoot!
"Lin Li, enjoy the hospitality," Lin Xuan said with a wicked grin.
"Wang Ba, what special… entertainment does the Golden Dragon Gang have?"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
