Lin Xuan's expression was indescribable.
He replied to Jiang Qing.
[Jiang Qing, no need to recall the message. I saw it.]
Jiang Qing laughed awkwardly. [Well, Young Master Lin, as long as you understand...]
Lin Xuan sighed deeply.
It seemed everyone in Night Garden knew his kidneys were in jeopardy.
His dignity as a man!
Thankfully, his skin was thick enough—otherwise, he’d have wanted to crawl into a hole out of sheer embarrassment.
A hole…
Lin Xuan immediately recalled that day in the lounge when the executives of Su Corporation had witnessed him pinning Hua against the wall and kissing her.
Back then, he’d also wanted to vanish into a hole.
What had Hua said at the time…?
A hint of discomfort flickered across Lin Xuan’s face.
Shaking off the inappropriate thoughts, he got down to business.
[Jiang Qing, what’s this about Hua meeting a killer organization? What exactly is going on?]
Jiang Qing frowned.
[Jiang Qing]: Young Master Lin, why are you asking about this?
[Lin Xuan]: I want to eliminate the danger for Hua.
[Jiang Qing]: Their forces are formidable, Young Master Lin. It’s too risky. If anything happens to you, Boss Su will lose her mind.
[Lin Xuan]: Don’t worry. I won’t go down so easily.
He wouldn’t let himself be harmed.
If something happened to him, who would avenge the Lin family? And Hua would surely follow him in death.
He would never allow such a thing.
Jiang Qing hesitated. [But… Young Master Lin, your assurances aren’t enough. You’re just one man. How can you possibly take on the Shadow Organization alone?]
Even their own group, Dark Night Rose, couldn’t escape unscathed from a confrontation with them.
[Lin Xuan]: I’m the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang.
[Jiang Qing]: !!!
Holy shit!
The leader of the Golden Dragon Gang?
Originally called the Black Tiger Gang, it had been in decline until a few months ago, when a mysterious man emerged as its new leader.
Under his command, the gang underwent sweeping reforms and grew at an alarming rate.
Among its ranks was a figure known as the Wandering Physician—a man whose miraculous healing skills could supposedly bring the dead back to life.
His reputation had earned him countless followers and resources.
Come to think of it…
A few days ago, Jiang Qing had tried to enlist his help to treat Boss Su, but he’d refused, citing urgent matters.
And now, Young Master Lin was the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang?
If that was the case, and the Wandering Physician was part of the gang, then couldn’t Lin Xuan pull some strings?
[Jiang Qing]: Young Master Lin, since you’re the leader, can you get the Wandering Physician to treat Boss Su? You know how she gets during her episodes—she recognizes no one, not even you, and treats you like her personal…
She immediately deleted the last part of the message.
[Lin Xuan]: …
[Lin Xuan]: I am the Wandering Physician. Right now, I still can’t cure Hua’s condition, so I had to make an excuse to refuse.
[Jiang Qing]: Holy fucking shit!!!
Young Master Lin was the Wandering Physician?!
Since when did he learn medicine?!
Jiang Qing’s eyes widened.
She needed a moment to process this…
[Lin Xuan]: So, can you tell me now which organization is targeting Hua?
[Jiang Qing]: Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely!
With Young Master Lin’s insane credentials, maybe he really could take on the Shadow Organization.
[Jiang Qing]: It’s the world’s top assassin syndicate—the Shadow.
The Shadow?
Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed deeply.
He’d heard of them.
Their assassins were trained from as young as four or five years old.
Fifteen recruits were grouped together and forced to fight to the death—only one survivor emerged from each batch.
The survivors were then sent on high-risk missions.
They also conducted human experiments, turning people into "medicine subjects" to develop new poisons.
Why were they after Hua?
[Lin Xuan]: Jiang Qing, give me the details.
[Jiang Qing]: Got it.
She quickly briefed Lin Xuan on the situation.
His frown only deepened.
It seemed the Shadow was deliberately luring Hua in.
What was their connection to her?
What was their endgame?
[Jiang Qing]: That’s about all I know, Young Master Lin.
[Lin Xuan]: One more thing—don’t tell Hua that I’m the Wandering Physician or the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang. I don’t want her to worry.
The Golden Dragon Gang was, after all, an underground syndicate.
Violence, killing, and death were part of the job.
If Hua found out, she’d never let him stay as its leader.
[Jiang Qing]: Understood.
Jiang Qing set down her phone and shook her head.
Boss Su and Young Master Lin really were a match.
Both were leaders of powerful factions.
Both hid their identities to protect the other.
She couldn’t help but wonder—what if Dark Night Rose and the Golden Dragon Gang ever clashed?
A spark of amusement lit in her eyes.
If that happened—no, more accurately, if Boss Su and Young Master Lin ever faced off—things would get very interesting.
Lin Xuan booked a flight from Myanmar to the Golden Triangle.
Wang Ba and a group of Golden Dragon Gang members arrived as well.
"Boss," Wang Ba said eagerly, "why’d you call us here? Some big mission?"
Since Lin Xuan had taken over, aside from ordering Lin Li’s capture, he hadn’t assigned them any major tasks.
Heh.
Now the boss had summoned them to the Golden Triangle—and even came personally.
This had to be something big.
Lin Xuan nodded. "There is."
"What is it?" Wang Ba pressed.
Lin Xuan’s voice turned cold. "The world’s top assassin syndicate, the Shadow, is based here. I need you to track them down—their location, their base’s layout, everything."
Wang Ba’s eyes bulged.
"Boss… we’re really going after the Shadow?" He swallowed hard.
"Yes," Lin Xuan confirmed.
"But…" Wang Ba hesitated. "Even if they’re not at their peak anymore, they’re still terrifying. Picking a fight with them could cost us dearly. Especially now, while our gang is still growing—provoking them won’t do us any favors."
"Are you scared?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Wang Ba immediately bristled. "Hell no! Wang Ba fears nothing!"
"Then do as I say," Lin Xuan commanded coldly.

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
