"Not right," another person shook his head.
"What's not right?" his accomplice asked in confusion.
The man replied, "It's impossible that he's alone. It's too suspicious. Why wouldn’t Boss Su send more people to protect him?"
The accomplice frowned. "You mean this might be a trap?"
"Exactly," the man nodded. "They probably think hiding forever isn’t a long-term solution, so they set up this trap. Don’t be fooled—even though he looks alone, there must be people hiding all around."
His voice was firm. "They’re doing this to lure us out and wipe us out in one go. We can’t fall for it. We should observe a little longer and gather more people first."
"Makes sense," the accomplice agreed with a nod.
They unanimously decided not to act against Lin Xuan yet, opting instead to watch and prepare.
Lin Xuan knew they wouldn’t buy it so easily.
He deliberately arranged to meet Wang Dahe at a hotel.
"Yo, Xuan," Wang Dahe said with surprise. "Aren’t you supposed to be with Boss Su? What brings you out today?"
They used to hang out often, but ever since Lin Xuan got together with Boss Su, he’d practically forgotten about his old friend. Wang Dahe had invited him out plenty of times, but Lin Xuan rarely agreed.
Thinking of something, Wang Dahe asked with interest, "Xuan, be honest—did you and Boss Su have a fight? Are you two in a cold war now?"
Lin Xuan’s eyes flicked toward the men watching him from the next table.
"You’re overthinking it. Hua and I are doing great—why would we fight?" Lin Xuan picked up his glass and said, "She’s on a business trip. Lately, she’s been into this ‘dark room’ game. I sneaked out today."
The men from Shang nodded.
So he snuck out—that’s why there’s no one protecting him.
If that’s the case, then this was perfect.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
One of them stepped out with his phone. "Gather the men. Send people to the location I’m giving you. Set up an ambush. The moment Lin Xuan shows up, grab him."
Even though Lin Xuan was alone, they weren’t taking any chances. They’d send more people to be safe.
If they missed this chance, who knew when they’d get another shot?
Honestly, Lin Xuan was an idiot. Last time they tried to grab him, they failed—yet here he was, wandering around alone again.
Hah.
He really had no sense of self-preservation.
Inside the hotel—
Wang Dahe gave Lin Xuan a deadpan look. "Xuan, you really don’t have to share the details of your and Boss Su’s… activities with me."
He didn’t need the secondhand embarrassment.
Lin Xuan raised a brow. "You could always get a girlfriend yourself. Then you wouldn’t be so jealous of my life with Hua."
"Oh, wait," Lin Xuan added, as if just remembering, "You’re still recovering from that heartbreak. PTSD from women, right? Probably not in the mood for dating yet."
Wang Dahe: "..."
This guy was doing it on purpose. Absolutely.
"Xuan," Wang Dahe glared, "You know that smug look of yours is just begging for a punch, right?"
It was only because he had a good temper that he didn’t start anything.
But…
His fists were itching.
If he wasn’t afraid of Boss Su coming after him, he’d have decked this bastard already.
Lin Xuan smirked. "Anyone who wants to try me is welcome to."
Wang Dahe choked.
Boss Su adored Lin Xuan. She’d assigned him a small army of bodyguards. No one could lay a finger on him.
"Ugh."
Wang Dahe sighed.
Why couldn’t he meet a girl like Boss Su?
Lin Xuan took a sip of his drink, glancing at Wang Dahe. "What’s with the sigh?"
"Xuan," Wang Dahe asked curiously, "How did you make Boss Su fall for you?"
"You want to learn?" Lin Xuan arched an eyebrow.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Dahe nodded eagerly. "Xuan, teach me!"
Of course he wanted to learn!
He’d been single his whole life. The one time he finally got into a relationship, the girl was just after his money. Then she ditched him the second she met someone richer—Lin Xuan.
Meanwhile, a woman as incredible as Boss Su was head over heels for Xuan.
If he could learn Xuan’s tricks, he wouldn’t have to worry about finding a genuine girlfriend.
Lin Xuan said, "Don’t bother. You can’t learn it."
"Listen, I may not have many talents, but I’m a fast learner. Just tell me—I’ll get it!" Wang Dahe thumped his chest.
Lin Xuan: "I didn’t do anything."
Wang Dahe rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right."
How could he have done nothing?
Even as a brush-off, that was weak.
"I’m serious. Hua fell for me at first sight," Lin Xuan said earnestly.
From what he remembered now (though he suspected they might have met during his lost memories), Hua had been instantly smitten.
"They say love at first sight is just lust. So, my friend, you’re out of luck," Lin Xuan added.
Wang Dahe: "..."
If that was true, then yeah—he was screwed.
Damn it!
Wang Dahe gritted his teeth, glaring at Lin Xuan.
How was Xuan this lucky?
He had talent, looks, and now an insanely powerful girlfriend?
Life wasn’t fair.
Lin Xuan checked his watch. Time was up.
He waved. "Waiter, the bill."
The waiter approached. "Sir, your total is 4,500."
Wang Dahe leaned back, legs crossed. If he were paying, he’d never eat somewhere this fancy.
Having a rich best friend had its perks.
"Here." Lin Xuan handed over a card.
The waiter returned shortly, bowing as he returned it. "Sir, your card."
Lin Xuan stuffed it carelessly into his pocket.
"I’m done. Heading back," he said.
"Xuan, it’s been over two weeks since we last met, and you’re leaving already?" Wang Dahe frowned.
Lin Xuan shrugged. "Can’t help it. I sneaked out. If Hua finds me missing, she’ll be pissed."
Wang Dahe ground his teeth.
Priorities! This guy had them all wrong.
Lin Xuan stood to leave.
Wang Dahe wiped his mouth with a napkin and hurried after him. "Wait, Xuan—give me a ride."
Lin Xuan: "I drove a sports car."
Wang Dahe blinked. "And?"
Lin Xuan: "It only fits two. The passenger seat is Hua’s spot."
Meaning: No room for you, Wang Dahe.
