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.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
. 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!"
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?
