Isn't this voice a little too pleasant?
Cold yet laced with a hint of seduction.
The two police officers couldn’t help but follow the sound, their eyes locking onto Su Hua’s face, utterly mesmerized.
This… this… this is too beautiful. It was their first time seeing such an stunning woman.
Their gazes then shifted to Lin Xuan. Could she be the girlfriend he mentioned?
Admittedly, just by looks alone, the two of them were a perfect match. With genes like theirs, any child they had would undoubtedly be exceptionally good-looking.
The officers quickly shook their heads.
They were here on official business—why were they suddenly shipping the couple in their minds?
Butler Wang briefly explained the situation to Su Hua. "Miss, Starlight Group was hacked, and Lin Chang reported it. These officers are here to investigate."
"Is that so?" Su Hua’s red lips parted slightly, her entire aura turning icy.
The two officers shivered under the sudden chill.
"Let me introduce myself," Su Hua narrowed her eyes at them. "I’m Su Hua, CEO of Su Corporation."
Lin Xuan looked puzzled.
Why was Hua Bao introducing herself like this right away? This wasn’t like her at all.
The officers’ eyes widened.
Su Corporation!
She was actually the CEO of Su Corporation!
No wonder she lived in such a luxurious place!
The CEO of Su Corporation—this was no ordinary person. Damn it! How had they ended up investigating her boyfriend?
The officers became even more convinced that Lin Xuan had nothing to do with the hacking of Starlight Group’s system.
With Su Hua by his side, Lin Xuan wouldn’t need to go through the trouble of hacking Starlight Group.
He could just have Su Corporation deal with them directly.
And one more thing!
Rumors said the CEO of Su Corporation kept men at a distance.
How impressive was Lin Xuan to have won over someone like her?
But that wasn’t the main point. The real issue was that Su Hua was known as an untouchable force. Anyone who crossed her would regret it.
"CEO Su, greetings." The two officers grew restless, their voices tinged with nervousness.
Su Hua replied coolly, "My boyfriend is timid and law-abiding. He would never do anything outrageous, let alone illegal. You’ve got the wrong person."
Butler Wang glanced up at the sky.
Right, right. Young Master Lin was the most timid and law-abiding of all.
In Su Hua’s eyes, he was always the one being bullied.
The officers hurriedly said, "Our apologies for the misunderstanding. We’ll take our leave now. CEO Su, Mr. Lin definitely has no connection to the Starlight Group hacking incident."
Truly, the CEO of Su Corporation—her presence was overwhelming.
And they had dared to suspect her boyfriend?
For the sake of their own safety, they’d better not stick around any longer.
With that, the two officers made a swift exit, returning to the police station.
Lin Chang was already waiting there. The moment he saw them, he rushed over and asked, "Well? Did you find any evidence linking Lin Xuan to the hacking?"
The officers replied coldly, "No."
They had nearly been dragged into disaster because of Lin Chang—why would they give him any courtesy now?
If CEO Su decided to come after them, it would be effortless. And they had actually investigated her boyfriend? That was practically asking for death.
All they could hope for was that Su Hua wouldn’t hold it against them.
At least they hadn’t done anything to Lin Xuan.
"No? How is that possible? Officers, Lin Xuan admitted it himself! You just didn’t find the evidence yet. If you investigate more thoroughly, you’ll uncover something!" Lin Chang pressed anxiously.
"We said there’s nothing. Do you not trust us?" The officers’ expressions darkened.
"No, no, officers, please don’t misunderstand!" Lin Chang quickly apologized.
The officers snorted and turned away.
"Mr. Lin, we’ll continue investigating. If anything comes up, we’ll notify you. Just wait at home for updates."
With that dismissive remark, they sent Lin Chang on his way.
Lin Chang left the station in despair.
No wonder Lin Xuan had dared to admit he was the hacker—he had prepared everything in advance, knowing they couldn’t touch him even if they knew the truth.
He had been completely unrestrained in revealing his identity.
Hah.
Lin Xuan… very well. He was truly something.
Wait—he still had connections. Over the years, he had built up plenty of influence in the police force. Maybe he could use that to get Lin Xuan imprisoned.
Lin Chang called his contacts.
One of them scoffed, "Lin Chang, your company is barely holding on. Why are you still trying to frame others? My duty is to serve the people, not help you throw innocent men in jail!"
His tone was righteous.
What a joke. Lin Xuan had saved the Jiang Family, and they had even bailed him out before. With the Jiang Family backing him, if they listened to Lin Chang and went after Lin Xuan, they’d be digging their own graves.
Besides, Starlight Group was already collapsing. There was no point in helping him now.
"Lin Chang, let’s cut ties. You’re on your own."
With that, the call ended.
Lin Chang tried several more contacts, but the answer was the same—no help.
A sense of powerlessness washed over him.
For the first time, he truly understood the saying: "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter."
Just then, his phone rang urgently. The sound sent an inexplicable chill down his spine.
The caller ID showed it was the head of the gaming department.
A deep sense of foreboding settled in Lin Chang’s chest.
Hands trembling, he answered.
"What—" Before he could finish, the department head’s frantic voice cut in.
"Chairman, it’s bad!"
"Speak!" Lin Chang suppressed his unease and demanded.
The department head rushed out, "Chairman, Skyline Group planned this all along! They’ve laid out their game development timeline clearly and even showed early versions to industry experts. Those experts are now publicly supporting Lin Xuan!"
"The public opinion has completely turned against us. People are demanding we provide proof that we developed the game before Skyline Group!"
Lin Chang’s grip on the phone tightened.
So, Lin Xuan had prepared for this all along!
Everything happening now was likely part of his plan.
(Ugh, the May holiday is over...)
Thanks to the lovely gifts from Dou Yangguan (who loves lasagna), Xuan, Dreaming, Shan, Fei Fei, and others!
Ugh.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character.
