Jiang Qing let out a sigh.
Boss Su could indeed hit the orange—it just depended on whether she wanted to win or not.
This time, Boss Su had clearly gone easy on him.
Boss Su was treating this fake gang leader differently.
Ah.
Jiang Qing sighed deeply in her heart once more.
How could Boss Su, who loved Young Master Lin so much, shift her affections to someone else?
Or was it that Boss Su had fallen for two men at the same time?
"What's the result?" Su Hua removed her blindfold and asked.
"Alliance Leader," one of the Night Rose members answered nervously, "one orange was missed."
"Then it seems I lost this round." Su Hua smiled.
She then turned to Lin Xuan, raising an eyebrow as she said, "Gang Leader Lin is truly impressive."
This time, Lin Xuan hadn’t noticed that Su Hua had gone easy on him.
He asked, "What’s the next challenge, Alliance Leader of Night Rose?"
It would be better to finish this sooner rather than later.
Once the matter with Night Rose was settled, he could return early to see Hua Bao.
Besides, he was worried Hua Bao might call him unexpectedly. If he didn’t answer promptly, she might overthink things.
Su Hua yawned. "Let’s discuss this tomorrow. I’m a bit tired and need to rest. How about Gang Leader Lin stays overnight at Night Rose and we continue tomorrow?"
"No need," Lin Xuan said with a frown. "Since Alliance Leader is tired, I’ll come back tomorrow."
"Very well," Su Hua nodded.
"What time should we resume tomorrow?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Eleven in the morning," Su Hua replied.
Tonight, Xuan would likely stay up late.
Since Xuan had hidden his identity as the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang from her, he deserved some punishment.
Su Hua curled her lips.
Tonight would just be an appetizer.
Once she officially revealed his identity, there would be a "dark room" waiting for him.
"Why so late?" Lin Xuan frowned.
Su Hua smirked. "Because I’m afraid Gang Leader Lin might not wake up early tomorrow."
"Alliance Leader might be overthinking it. I can be at Night Rose by nine," Lin Xuan said.
Unless Hua Bao tempted him into certain activities, he usually woke up early.
This time, since Hua Bao wasn’t by his side, he could rest early and arrive at Night Rose by nine without issue.
Su Hua chuckled. "Gang Leader Lin, I think eleven is better. My boyfriend and I have plans, so I might not wake up early." She raised an eyebrow.
So that was the reason.
Lin Xuan nodded in understanding.
"In that case, Alliance Leader, we’ll meet at eleven tomorrow morning."
Lin Xuan left.
Su Hua watched his retreating figure, her beautiful eyes shimmering with amusement.
The reason she didn’t continue the competition was that she feared she might lose control and give herself away.
Playing with Xuan a little more tomorrow sounded fun.
"Alliance Leader," one of the Night Rose members asked curiously, "have you taken a liking to the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang?"
"Yes."
Su Hua nodded. "I have. The Golden Dragon Gang leader is talented, handsome, and exactly my type. I want him to be my man for life."
This is bad, this is bad, this is bad.
Jiang Qing felt utterly hopeless inside.
As Su Hua walked back to her room, Jiang Qing followed closely behind.
She hesitated, wanting to ask something but holding back each time.
Su Hua suddenly stopped. "Secretary Jiang, if you have something to say, speak up."
"Boss Su," Jiang Qing ventured carefully, "getting so close to another man might upset Young Master Lin."
"If he finds out about your interactions with the Golden Dragon Gang leader, he might make a scene. Now that Young Master Lin is finally willing to be with you, teasing the gang leader like this might push him away."
Few men would tolerate their woman being intimate with another man.
Take Boss Su, for example—whenever Young Master Lin was around other women, she would get fiercely jealous and flaunt their relationship in front of them.
Young Master Lin was talented and capable, having single-handedly built the Sky Veil Group.
He wasn’t after Boss Su’s money. If he saw her flirting with another man, he’d likely leave without hesitation.
She didn’t want to see Boss Su and Young Master Lin break up.
"He won’t," Su Hua said confidently.
"Boss Su, how can you be so sure? Young Master Lin loves you, but he won’t tolerate you being with another man," Jiang Qing pleaded earnestly.
Su Hua replied, "Because he is Xuan."
"Boss Su—" Jiang Qing had been about to argue further when she froze. "What? He’s Young Master Lin?"
"Yes," Su Hua nodded.
Another man? She would never get close to anyone else.
It was only because he was her Xuan that she kept teasing him.
"Boss Su, are you mistaken?" Jiang Qing questioned. "He looks nothing like Young Master Lin, and his voice is different too."
He appeared to be a man in his thirties.
"I’m not mistaken. Even if Xuan turned to ashes, I’d recognize him," Su Hua said with a smirk.
Of course, to be sure, she had double-checked.
The mark on his neck matched the bite mark she had left on Xuan.
And besides Xuan, no other man in the world could be so skilled.
Golden Dragon Gang leader—Xuan had really outdone himself, secretly joining the underworld behind her back.
"Xuan must be wearing a disguise. As for his voice, Secretary Jiang, can’t we alter ours too?" Su Hua pointed out.
Jiang Qing suddenly understood.
If he was Young Master Lin, everything made sense.
Come to think of it, negotiations with Night Rose were too important for Young Master Lin to delegate to someone else.
And his skills—so extraordinary that, apart from Young Master Lin, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could match him.
Now that she knew the Golden Dragon Gang leader wasn’t an imposter but the real Young Master Lin, Jiang Qing finally relaxed.
Thank goodness. Boss Su still loved Young Master Lin—she hadn’t shifted her affections.
That meant Boss Su and Young Master Lin wouldn’t break up.
"Boss Su, if you recognized Young Master Lin, why not just reveal yourself to him?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
Why go through all these twists and turns? If they openly acknowledged each other, letting everyone know that the Night Rose and the Golden Dragon Gang leader were a couple, wouldn’t that be better?
"I don’t want Xuan to know I’m the Night Rose yet," Su Hua said.
Xuan had probably heard of the Night Rose’s reputation—merciless, cold-blooded, a killer.
She didn’t want to leave a bad impression in his heart.
