Please Behave Yourself

"I'm not so sure about that. The leader of the Golden Dragon Gang is no pushover," one member of Night Rose mused, stroking his chin.

For some reason, he had a strong feeling that their alliance leader would lose to the Golden Dragon Gang leader in these upcoming matches.

"Sure, I admit the Golden Dragon Gang leader is formidable in combat, but don’t forget—our leader holds the title of 'Sharpshooter'! Just wait and see how gloriously she’ll defeat him."

"Yeah, don’t dampen our own morale. Our leader is definitely the strongest."

Wang Ba glanced at them.

Their boss losing? Not necessarily.

Heh, soon enough, they’d witness their boss’s true prowess.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Hua and Lin Xuan fired their guns simultaneously.

Members of the Golden Dragon Gang and Night Rose counted each other’s hits.

"Night Rose—all bullseyes."

"Golden Dragon Gang leader—all bullseyes."

The announcement sent shockwaves through Night Rose’s ranks.

"At this distance, the Golden Dragon Gang leader actually scored all bullseyes?"

Heavens, this was the first time someone’s marksmanship rivaled their alliance leader’s.

Keep in mind, the bullseye in Night Rose’s target was as small as a mosquito.

"This… this Golden Dragon Gang leader’s skill is terrifying. If only he’d agree to be our leader’s man—imagine the power couple they’d make."

Su Hua stared at the target, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Lin Xuan was far more skilled than she’d imagined.

A faint smile curled her lips.

He really was a perfect match for her.

"Leader Lin, your abilities are quite unexpected. You mentioned having a girlfriend—does she know just how capable you are?" Su Hua arched a brow.

Ahem.

Lin Xuan cleared his throat and quickly averted his gaze.

Hua Bao didn’t know.

He’d been hiding the truth about the Golden Dragon Gang from her all along.

The Golden Dragon Gang was an underground syndicate, dealing in illegal activities like murder and robbery. If Hua Bao found out he was its leader, it would shatter the refined, gentlemanly image he’d carefully maintained in front of her.

Besides, the underworld was dangerous—he didn’t want her worrying.

"My relationship with my girlfriend is none of Night Rose Leader’s concern," Lin Xuan replied coolly.

"Well, it seems you’re hiding quite a lot from her. I wonder how she’ll react when she finds out." Su Hua’s tone carried a teasing edge.

Jiang Qing frowned deeply.

Something was off. Very off.

Su Hua always kept her distance from men outside of Young Master Lin. She never engaged in idle chatter like this.

Could she actually be falling for this imposter Golden Dragon Gang leader?

No, no—Su Hua’s man could only be Young Master Lin!

Jiang Qing itched to message Lin Xuan: Hurry, Su Hua’s being seduced by another man!

But doing so might damage their relationship.

Worse, it’d expose Su Hua’s identity as Night Rose’s leader.

If Su Hua found out she’d leaked this to Lin Xuan, her life would be over.

Jiang Qing was at a loss.

"I bet Leader Lin’s girlfriend will punish him thoroughly," Su Hua purred, her crimson lips curving suggestively.

Punish…

Lin Xuan’s mind involuntarily conjured images of Su Hua’s bedroom antics.

If Hua Bao discovered he’d hidden something this big, his kidneys would suffer.

She might lock him in bed for three days straight, leaving him drained—literally.

No way!

He had to keep this secret. At all costs.

Su Hua subtly studied Lin Xuan’s expression. Seeing his reaction, she barely suppressed a smirk.

Another excuse to lock him up later.

Achoo!

Achoo!

Lin Xuan sneezed repeatedly.

His temples throbbed—a foreboding sense of doom settled over him.

Su Hua frowned. "Let’s move indoors for the next round."

The wind outside was chilly.

She didn’t want Lin Xuan catching a cold.

Jiang Qing’s eyelid twitched.

The imposter sneezed, and Su Hua immediately switched to an indoor match?

No way that was a coincidence.

Was Su Hua worried he’d fall sick?

Lin Xuan didn’t understand Night Rose Leader’s sudden shift, but this was her turf—her rules.

The two factions moved inside.

The space was vast, spanning over a thousand square meters.

"The first round was a tie. This time, we’ll blindfold ourselves and shoot at oranges carried by moving targets. Agreed?" Su Hua proposed.

"Deal." Lin Xuan agreed without hesitation.

He’d practiced this often in his training space—no challenge for him.

Lin Xuan went first.

Su Hua took the blindfold from a subordinate.

"Leader Lin, shall I help you put it on?" she teased.

"No need." Lin Xuan declined stiffly. "I’ll manage."

He reached for the blindfold.

Su Hua deliberately brushed her fingers against his palm.

Lin Xuan recoiled, his expression icy. "They say Night Rose Leader is aloof and disinterested in men. Seems exaggerated."

Su Hua smirked. "I am disinterested—unless the man is you. You’re quite… appetizing."

Jiang Qing despaired internally.

It’s true. Su Hua’s into him. Young Master Lin, hurry! Before she’s stolen away!

Wait—

Su Hua wasn’t the type to fall for someone lightly. Once she loved, it was for life.

So why this sudden shift?

Lin Xuan’s voice turned frigid. "If Night Rose Leader isn’t serious about cooperation, we’re done here."

He turned to leave.

"Wait!" Su Hua called out. "Leader Lin, relax—it was just a joke. I have a man I love deeply. I’d never betray him."

Maybe I pushed too far. Time to dial it back.
