At this moment, the hospital room was empty, with only Lin Li inside.
He lay listlessly on the sickbed, his face unnaturally pale.
Lin Qingwan walked over and asked with concern, "Li'er, I heard about what happened today. Are you alright?"
Lin Li's eyes were red as he replied, "Elder Sister, my reputation is completely ruined now. I’ll be nothing but a laughingstock, despised by everyone."
This incident had unfolded with such absurdity—it was even more sensational than when he was exposed as a eunuch.
In less than a day, the news had likely spread far and wide.
He would probably become the butt of jokes for everyone.
Lin Qingwan didn’t know how to comfort her younger brother.
She could only sit quietly beside him.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Su Corporation—
Su Hua set down Lin Xuan’s phone.
"Are you upset that I turned down Lin Qingwan’s invitation for you?" Su Hua asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It’s fine," Lin Xuan shook his head. "I wasn’t planning to go anyway. The Lin family hasn’t been my real family for a long time."
Su Hua smirked.
She loved this ruthless, detached side of Lin Xuan.
This way, no one could compete for his affection in her heart.
However…
The figures of Jiang Yutong and the rest of the Jiang family flashed through Su Hua’s mind.
They were still eyeing Lin Xuan greedily.
Su Hua’s expression darkened.
How utterly annoying they were.
Unfortunately, the Jiang family’s influence was formidable—she couldn’t simply eliminate them.
A knock sounded at the office door.
"Come in," Su Hua said.
A senior executive entered and, upon seeing Lin Xuan sitting on the couch, breathed a sigh of relief.
Young Master Lin was here—that was perfect.
At least he wouldn’t have to worry about Su Hua losing her temper.
Though Su Hua’s mood had soured thinking about Jiang Yutong and the Jiang family, Lin Xuan’s presence helped suppress the fury simmering inside her.
The executive smoothly delivered his report and left.
Before exiting, he glanced at Su Hua reviewing documents at her desk, then at Lin Xuan lounging on the sofa, scrolling through his phone and thoroughly enjoying the drama surrounding Lin Li.
He couldn’t help but murmur, "CEO Su and Young Master Lin are such a perfect match."
He really wished they would just get married already.
Another half hour passed.
Lin Xuan received a call from Lei Hui.
"Boss, we’ve hit a snag in the development of the battle royale game. We’ve been stuck for days—could you come take a look?"
Lei Hui was confident Lin Xuan could solve it.
To a computer genius like him, such issues were trivial.
"Alright, I’ll be there soon," Lin Xuan agreed before hanging up.
Turning to Su Hua, he said, "Hua Bao, something came up at the company. I need to head over."
Su Hua pressed her lips together.
She wanted Lin Xuan to stay with her, but…
"Mm," she replied, her voice tinged with displeasure.
"Hua Bao, I’ll be waiting for you at home."
Lin Xuan pressed a kiss to Su Hua’s lips, instantly dissolving her irritation.
Her mood visibly brightened.
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief.
Su Hua was sometimes easy to placate—just a kiss would do. If one wasn’t enough, two would suffice. And if that still didn’t work… well, he’d have to offer himself entirely.
After Lin Xuan left for Tianmu Group, Su Hua’s expression turned icy.
She picked up the phone and ordered, "Come in."
Jiang Qing entered promptly and bowed. "CEO Su."
"Have you finished investigating what I asked?" Su Hua demanded coldly.
Just as Jiang Qing was about to say no, a message arrived on her phone.
She checked it and replied respectfully, "CEO Su, it was Lin Li’s doing. Those two men were hired by him to target Young Master Lin. The aphrodisiac was also prepared by Lin Li—he likely intended to use it on Young Master Lin, but Young Master Lin saw through it and turned the tables on him."
Lin Li had dared to scheme against Young Master Lin? What a fool.
Now that Su Hua was involved, Lin Li would be lucky to escape with just a few layers of skin peeled off.
Su Hua let out a low, chilling laugh, her gaze growing colder.
Jiang Qing asked cautiously, "CEO Su, should we send Lin Li to prison?"
The evidence was more than enough to land him a lengthy sentence.
"If we can find this evidence, so can Xuan," Su Hua said coldly.
"If Xuan hasn’t sent him to prison, there must be a reason. I won’t interfere with his plans."
"Then… what do you intend to do, CEO Su?" Jiang Qing couldn’t help but ask.
She had a feeling Su Hua had something particularly vicious in mind.
The CEO was just as ruthless as Young Master Lin when it came to tormenting enemies.
Su Hua smirked. "Since he orchestrated this, he should experience it firsthand."
"Is he still in the hospital?"
"Yes," Jiang Qing confirmed.
"Get him out of there. Hire a few homeless men—pay them well—and have them deal with Lin Li," Su Hua instructed.
Jiang Qing hesitated. "Like what happened between Lin Li and those two men?"
"Exactly," Su Hua nodded.
Jiang Qing inwardly winced.
CEO Su and Young Master Lin were truly a match made in hell—each more merciless than the other.
"Make sure he’s watched closely. Don’t let him die," Su Hua added.
If he died, Lin Xuan would lose his entertainment.
Lin Li was too much of an idiot to pose any real threat, so she’d leave him for Lin Xuan to toy with.
"Understood," Jiang Qing acknowledged.
As she turned to leave, Su Hua called out again, "Wait."
"CEO Su, is there anything else?"
"Bring Shao Xingfan to me," Su Hua ordered.
Jiang Qing silently pitied Shao Xingfan.
It seemed the CEO was ready to settle accounts.
Assistant Shao, you’re on your own.
"Yes."
After leaving Su Hua’s office, Jiang Qing headed to Shao Xingfan’s workspace.
Shao Xingfan was engrossed in studying the programming solutions Lin Xuan had left for him.
"Brilliant," he muttered.
"Absolutely brilliant."
"How did I not think of this?"
If left to him, he’d probably still be stuck on this problem a year from now.
Thank goodness for Young Master Lin!
Jiang Qing pushed the door open.
"Assistant Shao."
Shao Xingfan looked up. "Secretary Jiang? What brings you here?"
Was there an urgent task for him?
"CEO Su wants to see you in her office," Jiang Qing said.
"Got it. I’ll head over right away," Shao Xingfan replied.
He assumed Su Hua had some new assignment for him.
This was his chance to impress her.
"Assistant Shao…" Jiang Qing hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Shao Xingfan asked with a puzzled expression. "Secretary Jiang, what did you want to say?"
