Lin Li curled his lips into a smirk.
Lin Xuan had collapsed—his plan was halfway complete. All that remained was to deliver Lin Xuan to the hotel room.
The two men were already prepared.
Fat-faced and thick-necked, they were brothers, both tops. From the videos he’d seen, their skills were impressive—they’d surely serve Lin Xuan well.
"Lin Xuan’s drunk, huh? Who’d have thought the boss of such a big company would pass out after just a few drinks?" someone remarked, noticing Lin Xuan slumped over the table.
Even drunk, Wang Dahe instinctively defended Lin Xuan.
"What’s the big deal about getting drunk? If any of you dare talk shit, get the hell out of my birthday party! I’ll treat you to food and drinks, but badmouthing my brother? Not happening!"
"Xuanzi, I—I’ll take you back to Su Hua."
Wang Dahe swayed as he stood, trying to haul Lin Xuan up.
Lin Li, dressed in hotel staff attire, quickly approached.
"Sir, are you planning to take this gentleman home?" he asked, feigning deference.
"Yeah," Wang Dahe nodded. Even drunk, he hadn’t forgotten about Su Hua, swatting away the opportunistic women trying to get close to Lin Xuan.
"Drunk people are easy targets for scheming women. Gotta get him back fast."
"Xuanzi, I’ll take you straight to Su Hua." Wang Dahe staggered to his feet.
"Sir," Lin Li interjected, "driving drunk isn’t safe. Why not book a room here at the hotel to rest first?"
Wang Dahe thought for a moment, then nodded. "Fine."
Lin Li’s eyes gleamed.
Almost there!
Soon, he’d have Lin Xuan in that hotel room—with a special surprise waiting.
"Then, sir, enjoy the party. I’ll go arrange the room and return shortly."
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Li hurried off. In under three minutes, he was back in the private room.
"Sir, I’ve prepared a room for this gentleman. I’ll take him there now."
"Go ahead," Wang Dahe waved dismissively.
Lin Li hoisted Lin Xuan up and left the room.
As the door shut behind them, a cold smile twisted Lin Li’s lips.
Hah.
Lin Xuan, you’re finished this time.
Wait.
Lin Li paused mid-step, Lin Xuan still draped over his shoulder.
Had everything gone too smoothly?
And where were Lin Xuan’s two bodyguards who’d been posted at the door?
Had Lin Xuan suspected something and set a trap?
Lin Li’s mind flashed back to the moment Lin Xuan drank the spiked wine.
He shook his head.
The dealer had sworn the aphrodisiac had no antidote.
If Lin Xuan had recognized him, why would he have drunk it?
This was just paranoia.
Lin Xuan, oh Lin Xuan.
You got lucky the last few times. But this time? No escape.
Lin Li hauled Lin Xuan into the elevator.
From the shadows, Cheng Da and Cheng Er emerged.
Cheng Er frowned. "You sure this’ll work?"
Cheng Da chuckled. "Second Brother, don’t forget—our boss has masterful medical skills. You think he wouldn’t notice if Lin Li drugged him? That ‘unconsciousness’ is probably an act."
"Remember, our boss never takes risks without certainty."
Hearing this, Cheng Er finally relaxed.
Meanwhile, Lin Li dragged Lin Xuan all the way to the hotel room and shut the door.
He dumped Lin Xuan onto the bed.
Standing over the unconscious man, Lin Li grinned triumphantly.
"Lin Xuan, you’ve always been so smug, haven’t you? Scheming against me, ruining Starlight Group, turning me into a laughingstock—into a goddamn eunuch."
"I told you, Lin Xuan, you can’t win forever. One loss, and you’ll fall into the abyss."
"And now? I’ve won!"
Lin Li burst into manic laughter.
"Lin Xuan, soon you’ll be just like me—broken, disgraced. Su Hua will cast you aside."
"Oh, and the Jiang Family? After all my time with them, I know how much they value reputation. They might fawn over you now, but once you’re ruined? They’ll scrub you from their history."
His face twisted with glee.
He could already picture Lin Xuan’s downfall—humiliated, despised, crushed beneath his heel forever.
"Lin Xuan, why’d you have to cross me?" Lin Li spread his hands mockingly. "Look where it’s gotten you—about to lose everything, while I trample you into the dirt."
This feels too damn good.
"Next, you can enjoy yourself properly."
Lin Li burst into raucous laughter as he strode out of the hotel room.
Little did he know.
The moment the door of the private room closed, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
His gaze was sharp and clear—there wasn’t the slightest trace of being drugged.
Lin Xuan smirked. "Lin Li, don’t celebrate too soon."
He wanted to see exactly who would end up ruined.
Soon, he’d make Lin Li experience the taste of pride before a fall.
After leaving the room, Lin Li pulled out his phone.
He typed out a message:
[Lin Xuan is currently in Room 1103 of Crown Hotel, in bed with two men. The door isn’t locked—you can go straight in.]
With a single tap, he sent it to multiple reporters.
When they received the message, their first reaction was disbelief.
Lin Xuan—that upright, untouchable figure—how could he possibly be into something so wild, and with men, no less?
Too fake.
But… what if it was true?
Lin Xuan was handsome, a computer genius, and the head of Starlight Group.
He was insanely famous. If this tip turned out to be real, getting the first-hand scoop would bring them massive traffic and a hefty payday.
Checking it out was no loss—if it was fake, they’d only waste a little time.
But if it was real? Jackpot.
The reporters immediately packed their gear and rushed to the location Lin Li had provided.
After sending the message to the press, Lin Li texted the two men he had arranged:
[You two, get over here now.]
He’d found these two online.
He’d tested them—they were reliable.
"Lin Xuan, I’m about to give you a night you’ll never forget, something you’ve never experienced before. See how generous I am?"
"HAHAHA—"
Lin Li laughed triumphantly once more.
Little did he know.
Cheng Da and Cheng Er had been watching him the whole time.
