"What?" The members of the Golden Dragon Gang were furious. "How dare they try to steal our leader? Are they tired of living?"
Flames of rage burned in each of their eyes.
They would never allow anyone to take their leader away!
"Second Master, we have to teach them a lesson!" one of the gang members growled.
"Yeah, yeah!" the others chimed in. "We’ll make sure they remember this—make them think twice before trying to snatch our leader!"
"Brothers, grab your weapons!"
"Hold on, hold on!"
Wang Ba stopped them.
"Let’s just drop it," he said. "We can’t resort to violence."
The boss seemed to have a pretty good impression of the Black Right Gang right now.
If they acted against them without the leader’s approval and he found out, wouldn’t that just push him further away?
The leader’s strength was unmatched.
Even though the Golden Dragon Gang was the second-largest underground faction, if anyone else became the leader, they wouldn’t leave the gang willingly.
But their current leader was different—his power was on another level. He could easily build another Golden Dragon Gang from scratch in no time.
They had to leave a good impression on him.
"But Second Master, if we don’t deal with them, what else can we do?"
One member spoke up, "I think we need to make an example out of them, so the Black Right Gang won’t dare covet our leader again."
Wang Ba shook his head. "Our leader is extraordinary. If one gang starts eyeing him, there’ll be a second, a third, a fourth… Can you really take them all down?"
"Then what’s our move? We can’t just sit back and watch them steal him away!" another member frowned.
"There’s another way," Wang Ba said.
"What is it?" the subordinates pressed eagerly.
Wang Ba answered, "We focus on making the leader want to stay—make him reluctant to leave the Golden Dragon Gang."
The gang members’ eyes lit up.
That was a solid plan.
But…
"Second Master," one of them asked hesitantly, "how do we make him stay?"
Wang Ba thought for a moment. "It’s simple. We ensure the leader has a smooth and pleasant experience with us. We treat him with sincerity, obey his orders, and never defy him."
The members nodded.
That wasn’t hard—they already followed the leader’s commands.
"And one more thing," Wang Ba added. "Next time the leader visits, stay sharp. Serve him well—pour his tea, massage his shoulders, do whatever it takes. Got it?"
"Yes, Second Master!" the gang roared in unison.
Wang Ba nodded. "Our goal now is clear—don’t let any other gang snatch our leader away."
"Also, keep an eye out for any factions eyeing him. We’ll make an example of one or two to scare the rest—make sure they don’t even think about stealing him."
Even if they did, they wouldn’t dare show it.
They had to cover all bases.
"Understood!" The gang members looked fired up.
"Alright, that’s all. You’re dismissed," Wang Ba said.
With that, the members scattered.
Lin Xuan returned to his room.
Tonight, he could finally rest.
He’d head back the day after tomorrow.
Two days apart—Hua would definitely drag him to bed the moment he returned.
And last night, during their video call, she had teased him so much he barely slept.
He needed a good rest now to prepare for her.
Humming to himself, Lin Xuan sprawled on the couch and scrolled through his phone, browsing the latest gossip.
Lin Li’s scandal was still everywhere.
The incident with those men had blown up beyond control.
Reporters were scrambling to get into the hospital for an interview.
Images of Lin Li breaking down kept popping up in the news.
Lin Xuan smirked.
These reporters were doing a great job. Nice.
Meanwhile, at the Night Rose base…
Jiang Qing knocked and entered Su Hua’s room.
Su Hua glanced up. "Speak," she said coldly.
Jiang Qing bowed slightly. "President Su, Young Master Lin has finished dealing with the Black Right Gang and has returned."
Su Hua’s lips curled.
Since Xuan was back, it was time for their video call.
"Good. You may leave," she said.
"Yes."
Jiang Qing exited, leaving Su Hua alone in the spacious room.
She opened her phone and initiated a video call with Lin Xuan.
He answered immediately.
"Hua."
Su Hua arched a brow. "What were you up to just now?"
"Nothing much. Just had a little… discussion with someone who crossed us."
Well, he beat them up, extorted a hefty sum, and forced them into cooperation. Close enough.
"And when will you be done and come back?" Su Hua’s tone was casual, but there was a hint of something beneath it.
"Day after tomorrow," Lin Xuan replied.
Su Hua frowned.
Day after tomorrow… That was too long.
"Hua, what about you? When are you heading back?" Lin Xuan asked.
Su Hua smiled. "Same as you—day after tomorrow."
"Really? What a coincidence!"
Lin Xuan was thrilled.
If Hua was also returning then, maybe she wouldn’t be upset about his delay.
"Hua, I got you some gifts while I was abroad. I’ll bring them when I see you," he said.
The presents were bought in the U.S.—part of the act to keep her from suspecting anything.
"Good. I’ll be waiting. I have a gift for you too," Su Hua purred.
That gift… was herself.
"What kind of gift?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
Su Hua’s red lips curved. "That’s a secret."
"Xuan," she shifted the topic, "it’s only ten. Still early. Should we… do something fun?"
Lin Xuan’s eyes gleamed.
Last night, she had teased him until he couldn’t sleep.
Maybe tonight, he could turn the tables.
