"Mm, I know." Su Hua's lips curved slightly upward.
Lin Xuan readjusted his phone camera to face himself again.
"Hua Bao, see? There are no women here," Lin Xuan said.
Su Hua raised an eyebrow. "But those people just now looked oddly familiar, like I’ve seen them somewhere before?"
Lin Xuan stiffened.
If Hua Bao found them familiar, could it be that she had encountered them during her dealings with the Mourning Organization?
If she found out they were all members of the Golden Dragon Gang, she’d realize his claim about coming here for a business meeting was a lie.
Lin Xuan hurriedly replied, "Hua Bao, you must be mistaken. These guys have been overseas the whole time—there’s no way you’ve met them. Maybe they just resemble someone you know, so they seem familiar."
"Oh?" Su Hua’s smile lingered.
"Hua Bao." Lin Xuan’s gaze wavered, avoiding her eyes. "Uh, I should eat now. I’ve got things to take care of later."
Su Hua propped her chin on her hand, arching a brow. "And what exactly will you be busy with, Ah Xuan?"
"Nothing major. Just someone causing trouble for us—we need to handle it."
Well.
That gang had been provoking the Golden Dragon Gang, but their methods of "handling" it weren’t exactly peaceful. He was going to teach them a brutal lesson.
"Oh?" Su Hua’s eyebrow lifted higher. "How exactly will you handle it? Could you video call me and let me watch?"
"Hua Bao, that… wouldn’t be appropriate. It’s something that needs to be dealt with privately," Lin Xuan said.
The other side was about to get crushed by the Golden Dragon Gang—how could he let Hua Bao see that?
"Hua Bao, I’ll be heading out soon. Let’s talk later, okay? We’ll discuss everything when I get back."
Afraid she’d insist on a live feed during the "handling," Lin Xuan hastily ended the call.
The Golden Dragon Gang members couldn’t resist whispering among themselves.
"The boss’s girlfriend is so gorgeous. That little smile just now—my heart’s still racing."
"Right? If she weren’t the boss’s girl, I’d be tempted to chase after her myself."
"Our boss is something else, landing a woman that beautiful and loaded."
Hearing them talk about Su Hua, Lin Xuan’s voice turned icy.
"If food can’t shut you up, then don’t eat at all."
The gang members immediately fell silent.
They knew Lin Xuan was protecting Su Hua’s dignity.
Tsk, tsk.
Their boss was completely wrapped around Miss Su’s finger.
But then again, Su Hua was stunning, wealthy, and had a killer figure—while their boss had the looks, the build, and the skills. They were a perfect match.
If only the boss could also win over the Dark Rose… now that would make him the ultimate winner in life.
The men dining with Lin Xuan were all core members of the Golden Dragon Gang, privy to the fact that Su Hua was his girlfriend.
Lin Xuan quickly finished his meal.
"Boss, how do we deal with them?" Wang Ba asked eagerly.
Lin Xuan countered, "They’re planning to steal our weapons tonight?"
"Yeah." Wang Ba nodded. "Their gang’s sent quite a few men."
Lin Xuan smirked coldly. "Brave of them."
But… daring to target the Golden Dragon Gang? They had a death wish.
His eyes narrowed dangerously.
"If they want to steal our weapons, let’s stick to the original plan—catch them in a trap."
"You got it, boss! We’ll set it up right away." Wang Ba grinned.
With their boss leading, the Black Right Gang was in for a world of pain.
Wang Ba immediately rallied their men.
At one of their bases, Lin Xuan personally designed a mechanism.
Anyone who stepped inside wouldn’t be leaving.
From the outside, the base looked like an ordinary house—perfect camouflage.
An hour later, Wang Ba reported respectfully, "Boss, they’re heading for the base now."
"Good."
Lin Xuan stood. "Let’s go greet them."
The Black Right Gang leader glanced at the fallen Golden Dragon Gang members and sneered.
"Pfft. So much for the Golden Dragon Gang’s reputation. Pathetic." Luo Fenhao scoffed.
He’d always said they were all talk.
Hmph.
If not for the Black Right Gang’s past troubles forcing them to lay low and rebuild, the Golden Dragon Gang would never have risen to prominence in the underworld.
Tonight, he’d crush them and restore his gang’s glory.
"These Golden Dragon fools actually thought their ‘second-largest underworld syndicate’ title made them untouchable? Leaving weapons guarded by a handful of men in this flimsy place? Then they’ve only got themselves to blame when I take them." Luo Fenhao smirked.
He motioned to his men. "Load everything up!"
"Yes, boss!"
As they moved to carry the weapons, a masked young man stepped in.
"Who said you could take those?" Lin Xuan’s voice was frosty.
Luo Fenhao frowned. "You’re with the Golden Dragon Gang?"
"Correct."
Luo Fenhao laughed mockingly. "The Golden Dragon Gang must be desperate, sending a snot-nosed brat like you."
"I didn’t come alone." Lin Xuan smiled.
He snapped his fingers.
The lights cut out instantly.
The night was already overcast, threatening rain—now, pitch blackness swallowed the room.
"Lights! Turn the damn lights on!" Luo Fenhao barked.
His men fumbled for flashlights and phones—
Only to freeze in confusion moments later.
What the—?
Where were their lights? Their phones?
Gone.
Lin Xuan had tossed them far away.
Darkness was ideal for his plans—no way was he letting them ruin it with light.
The room was now utterly lightless.
A bad feeling twisted in Luo Fenhao’s gut.
"Someone—get those lights working now!" he roared.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
