It wasn't until she became the head of the Su Family that she dared to orchestrate various "chance encounters" with Lin Xuan and became his friend.
She had originally thought she could use the "slow-boiling frog" approach to gradually edge Qin Ruoyao out of her A-Xuan's heart.
But she overestimated herself.
She simply couldn’t tolerate another woman by A-Xuan’s side.
Finally, when Lin Xuan confessed his feelings to Qin Ruoyao with flowers and a necklace, she snapped. She sent people to capture A-Xuan and brought him back, locking him up in Night Garden.
As for Lin Xuan, the day he was sent back to the Lin Family from the island, he developed a fever. When he woke up, he remembered everything—except those two months. At the time, he didn’t pay much attention to the missing memories.
He also completely forgot about Su Hua’s existence.
These memories ended here.
In his unconscious state, scenes flashed through Lin Xuan’s mind—moments where he had screamed at Su Hua for Qin Ruoyao’s sake, doing things that broke her heart and saying words that pierced her soul.
Even so, after his death, Su Hua had avenged him by eliminating all his enemies—and even took her own life to follow him in death.
"Hua Bao, Hua Bao!"
Lin Xuan jolted awake from the nightmare, gasping for air. His eyes gradually reddened.
So…
This was what had happened between him and Hua Bao.
He had always assumed Hua Bao fell for him at first sight, but that wasn’t the case. It was during their long time together on the island that she grew to love him.
Lin Xuan clutched his chest.
That day on the island, his words must have devastated Hua Bao. No wonder she reacted so strongly when couples acted lovey-dovey in front of her. And no wonder she was afraid of him regaining his memories.
Hua Bao must have worried that if he remembered, he would abandon her.
They had missed out on so much.
Truthfully, he had already fallen for Hua Bao during their time on the island. As for Qin Ruoyao, it was only because she had saved him and was the only one who treated him kindly after he returned to the Lin Family that he clung to her.
Later, after losing his memories, he forgot about Hua Bao and went back to chasing Qin Ruoyao.
"Tap, tap, tap." Footsteps echoed outside the door.
Lin Xuan’s gaze sharpened.
Wang Ba and the others hadn’t infiltrated yet—he couldn’t let them know he was already awake.
He lay back down, closing his eyes and pretending to still be unconscious.
The assistant stared at Lin Xuan on the hospital bed, puzzled.
She had heard noises coming from the medical room earlier and thought he had woken up.
Had she misheard?
She must have.
Most people wouldn’t wake up this quickly—it usually took several more hours.
This time, instead of leaving, the assistant sat on a chair, scrolling through her phone while occasionally glancing at the bed.
She couldn’t help but stare.
There was no denying it—this man was the most handsome Eastern man she had ever seen.
Maybe once this matter was resolved, she could beg Zhao Long to give him to her as a plaything.
The assistant smirked.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan’s consciousness had entered his mental space.
Inside, he had already prepared a phone.
He picked it up, found Wang Ba’s number, and dialed.
In a remote mountain valley…
"Second Master." A subordinate of the Golden Dragon Gang chewed on a blade of grass before plucking it from his mouth and twirling it between his fingers.
"Are you sure the boss will have a chance to contact us? If he’s inside the Mourning organization, after what happened last time, they’ll be watching him like hawks. How could he possibly reach out?"
At this, even Wang Ba couldn’t confidently say Lin Xuan would be fine.
It had been over ten hours with no word from the boss. Had something really happened to him?
"Let’s wait a little longer," Wang Ba muttered, brows furrowed.
"Second Master," the subordinate pressed, "I think the boss took too big a risk this time. Going alone into the Mourning organization—that’s like walking into a dragon’s den. If something goes wrong, what then?"
The Golden Dragon Gang’s rapid rise in recent times was entirely due to their boss.
If anything happened to him, the gang would likely decline.
So the boss absolutely could not be allowed to die!
Forget the long term—just a few days ago, they had offended the Night Rose. She would surely seek revenge. Without the boss leading them, they stood no chance against her.
The Golden Dragon Gang would scatter, its members either fleeing or dying.
Wang Ba said, "We should trust the boss. Think about it—since he took over, has he ever failed at anything he set out to do?"
"But…" the subordinate argued, "that’s because he was acting rationally before. This time, he’s probably doing it to avenge Su Hua. I think his brain’s in ‘love-struck idiot’ mode, not ‘logical leader’ mode."
Wang Ba had been worried, but hearing this actually calmed him.
"The first time we fought the Mourning organization, the boss used himself as bait—also driven by love—and still dealt them a heavy blow," Wang Ba snorted.
Even when love-struck, the boss never lost all rationality.
There was no need to worry.
The subordinate had no rebuttal.
Still, they couldn’t shake the feeling that this time was different. What if the boss really messed up?
Just then—
Wang Ba’s phone rang. He immediately checked it, and his face lit up with joy.
It was the boss!
"Thank heavens! The boss is safe!"
Wang Ba answered immediately.
"Boss," he said respectfully.
The subordinates: "!!!"
The boss had actually managed to call them from inside the Mourning organization?!
How the hell did he pull that off?
They exchanged stunned glances.
"I’ll send you the location. Also, wear the masks I gave you and infiltrate quietly," Lin Xuan instructed.
These masks were replicas of actual Mourning members’ faces—created after Lin Xuan hacked their system to obtain the data.
"Understood," Wang Ba replied.
"And don’t mix up the names of the people you’re impersonating," Lin Xuan added.
"I’ll make sure of it," Wang Ba assured.
Lin Xuan then laid out his plan in detail, which Wang Ba committed to memory.
After hanging up, Wang Ba distributed the ultra-thin masks to his men.
Thanks to the gifts from "Doggo Who Loves Matriarchs" and "Yao Ge Who Adores Piggy"!
More gifts, please, lovelies~
