To Assert Sovereignty

Zhang Guo stared at the document in his hands, a sinking feeling in his gut. As he took it and read its contents, his eyes widened in shock.

This... this was...

Zhang Guo's hands began to tremble.

The document was filled with evidence of his son's illegal activities, all meticulously documented!

If this were handed over to the police, his son would face at least ten years in prison!

But it didn’t end there. Jiang Qing handed him another file. "Mr. Zhang, this is about your company."

Zhang Guo's hands shook even more violently.

What had Jiang Qing uncovered about his company?

As he flipped through the pages, Zhang Guo's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.

Stock market manipulation.

Tax evasion.

Stealing trade secrets from competitors...

Any one of these would devastate his company, and he would end up behind bars.

"Mr. Zhang, so let's just pretend your son's incident never happened. That way, everyone wins. Don’t you agree?" Jiang Qing smiled faintly.

"Secretary Jiang, rest assured, we won’t pursue this matter further," Zhang Guo hurriedly nodded, his tone submissive.

"Since Mr. Zhang is being so cooperative, we’ll also pretend we never saw anything about your son or your company."

With that, Jiang Qing left with the lawyer.

Zhang Guo collapsed into his chair, utterly drained.

"Dad, why aren’t you helping me?" The Rich Young Master's eyes were red, unable to believe his father would let the person who ruined him off the hook.

"Help you? Look at what they’ve dug up!"

Zhang Guo threw the documents at his son.

The Rich Young Master's face turned ghostly pale.

Zhang Guo said gravely, "If we insist on pursuing this, our company will go bankrupt, and both of us will end up in prison."

"It’s that serious?" Liu Yan was stunned. She took the documents from the Rich Young Master and read through them. After finishing, she fell silent.

"Zhang Li, why did you have to provoke Su Hua of all people?" Zhang Guo felt a wave of fear.

He was just glad his son had only ended up in this sorry state. Otherwise, the evidence Su Hua’s team had gathered would have been handed straight to the police.

"Dad, it’s not my fault. Who knew Su Hua was so mysterious and didn’t bring any bodyguards, just a secretary? If I’d known she was the head of Su Corporation, I wouldn’t have dared to mess with her even if you gave me a thousand lives," the Rich Young Master said, feeling wronged.

"Just focus on recovering."

Zhang Guo slammed the door as he left.

His son was as good as useless now. He needed to find a few mistresses to start over.

"My son..." Liu Yan, realizing Zhang Guo’s intentions, hugged the Rich Young Master and began to cry.

That day.

Lin Xuan was preparing to head to school when Su Hua leisurely wiped her mouth.

"Xuan, I’ll go with you," Su Hua said.

"Su Hua, don’t you have work at the company?" Lin Xuan frowned.

"Company matters aren’t as important as sending my boyfriend to school."

Even though Lin Xuan wore a ring symbolizing his relationship, many girls at Qing University still called him "husband" from afar.

Su Hua felt it was necessary to personally go to Qing University and stake her claim.

"Lin Xuan seems hesitant. Is your girlfriend that embarrassing?" Su Hua’s voice carried a hint of danger.

"No, no," Lin Xuan shook his head frantically. He had only hesitated because Secretary Jiang mentioned last night that Su Hua had an important meeting at nine this morning. He was just worried about disrupting her schedule.

Well, if Su Hua wanted to take him to school, she probably wasn’t too busy.

Lin Xuan and Su Hua sat together in the back seat of the car.

The driver discreetly lowered the partition.

Miss Su and Young Master Lin were bound to be affectionate, and he had already eaten breakfast. He didn’t need to be stuffed with more "dog food."

In the back seat, an intimate atmosphere filled the air.

Su Hua’s fingers lightly traced Lin Xuan’s body, stirring his desires. Lin Xuan’s face was a mask of restraint.

Su Hua’s lips curved into a smile.

She knew Lin Xuan’s body inside and out, and she knew exactly how to ignite his passion.

She teased him the entire ride.

By the time they arrived at Qing University, Lin Xuan’s veins were bulging on the back of his hands.

Su Hua pinned him against the car seat and kissed him deeply. When they finally broke apart, she bit his lip.

"Ouch..." Lin Xuan winced.

"Xuan, it’s time. You should head to class."

Su Hua’s gaze lingered on the faint mark on Lin Xuan’s lip, her smile widening.

Meanwhile, a crowd of girls had gathered around the Rolls-Royce parked near the school building.

"What do you think Lin Xuan is wearing today?"

"No matter what he wears, he’s the handsomest guy at our school. He’d look good even in a sack."

"Who do you think his girlfriend is?"

In the car, Lin Xuan hastily straightened his clothes and stepped out.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had stayed with Su Hua any longer, he might have lost control. Su Hua was just too alluring.

The onlookers frowned.

"What’s going on? Lin Xuan looks flushed, and his eyes seem a bit misty. Is he sick?"

"Doesn’t it look like he just had a romantic encounter? Maybe his girlfriend is in the car?"

"Girlfriend?"

Some girls craned their necks to peer into the car, but the tinted windows revealed nothing.

Just then, the car door opened.

Holy crap!

There’s someone in the back seat!

Everyone stretched their necks to get a better look.

Su Hua extended a long, slender leg from the car.

A woman?!

Then, Su Hua stepped out, fully revealing herself to the crowd.

Su Hua’s beauty was breathtaking. Anyone who saw her would never forget her face.

Everyone present recognized her instantly.

Their eyes widened in shock.

"Holy cow, isn’t that Su Hua? Why is she in the same car as Lin Xuan?"

"Wait, does this mean the rumors on the forum were true? Is Su Hua really Lin Xuan’s girlfriend?"

"That can’t be. What does Su Hua see in Lin Xuan?"

"Hey, maybe they’re related, or just friends?"

The crowd buzzed with speculation.

"Xuan," Su Hua called out affectionately.

Lin Xuan turned around, and Su Hua quickly walked up to him. "You forgot your books."

Of course, Lin Xuan hadn’t forgotten. Su Hua had secretly taken them from his backpack while they were kissing.

She wanted to create a legitimate reason to reveal her identity.

Lin Xuan frowned.

Hadn’t he packed his books properly? The zipper had been closed.

He checked his backpack and found it partially open.

Lin Xuan frowned. Had he misremembered?

He took the books from her.

Su Hua stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "Xuan, I’ll pick you up tonight."
