A thought struck her, making her eyes light up.
She understood.
"This Secretary Jiang is being duplicitous and acting on her own authority. Young man, you must report this to your alliance leader. You might even get a reward. Tell him, I know who the Golden Dragon Gang leader's girlfriend is, and that I'm locked in the basement."
The leader of the Night Rose Alliance likes their gang leader, so she must want to have him for herself.
In that case, she certainly wouldn't tolerate the woman the gang leader loves.
It seemed the Night Rose had been investigating the gang leader's girlfriend these past few days. Bringing this information would be doing the Night Rose leader a huge favor.
The Night Rose leader had no reason to be unhappy about it.
Xu Hui grabbed the guard's hand. "Really, listen to me. Go tell the Night Rose leader what I said. This could be your chance to gain merit."
The guard said with a cold expression, "Secretary Jiang is a highly trusted confidante of our leader. Her will is our leader's will. If she's doing this, she must have her reasons."
"Just stay put here."
The guard shoved Xu Hui away.
"Ah—" Xu Hui fell to the floor.
The guard exited the basement room and closed the door.
The room in the basement was surrounded by iron bars, offering a clear view of the outside.
Many other people were also imprisoned in this basement.
Members of the Night Rose were interrogating them.
"Ahhhhh—"
Waves of agonized screams erupted from their mouths.
Xu Hui shuddered.
She rubbed her arms.
She had to stay calm.
It was because Secretary Jiang was being duplicitous in front of the Night Rose leader that she was locked up here.
As soon as the Night Rose leader arrived, she would tell her everything she knew, and the leader would surely release her.
Thinking this, Xu Hui's panicked heart settled slightly.
At the Golden Dragon Gang base.
Su Hua and Lin Xuan sat at the dining table.
Su Hua cooed again, "A-Xuan, my arms are weak. Will you feed me today?"
The Golden Dragon Gang members in the dining room pricked up their ears.
Weak arms?
Besides manual labor, there was another reason a woman's arms might be weak...
Thinking of that, the expressions of those gang members became rather complicated.
Seriously, was it appropriate to talk about such things in front of outsiders?
"Okay, Hua Bao, I'll feed you." Lin Xuan cautiously glanced around.
When Lin Xuan's gaze swept over them, the gang members hastily lowered their heads, pretending they hadn't seen or heard anything.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed the distance was a bit far; they hadn't heard his conversation with Hua Bao.
Thank goodness, they hadn't heard. Otherwise, as the gang leader, he'd probably suffer social death within the Golden Dragon Gang.
"Hua Bao, we can talk about these things in our room. It's not good if others hear." Lin Xuan lowered his voice.
Su Hua curled her lips, not agreeing to Lin Xuan's request.
She was eager for people to know how affectionate she and A-Xuan were.
Especially some women within the Golden Dragon Gang who secretly coveted A-Xuan.
She couldn't help but want to flaunt their love in front of them.
To show them clearly whose man A-Xuan really was.
So, how could she possibly agree to A-Xuan's request?
Seeing Su Hua didn't agree, Lin Xuan knew she would continue like this in the future.
Ah.
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly.
He didn't know where Hua Bao picked up this mischievous habit.
After breakfast, the two returned to their room.
Su Hua snuggled in Lin Xuan's arms watching TV.
A call came through to Su Hua's phone.
Su Hua looked at the caller ID and frowned.
Jiang Qing was still at Night Rose.
Her calling at this time was likely related to Night Rose affairs.
She couldn't answer here, lest A-Xuan overhear something.
"A-Xuan, I need to take this call and also use the restroom."
Su Hua got up from Lin Xuan's embrace, walked into the bathroom, and closed the door.
"What is it?" Su Hua put the phone to her ear.
"President Su," Jiang Qing reported respectfully. "A woman claiming to be a member of the Golden Dragon Gang came to our Night Rose. She says she knows who the Golden Dragon Gang leader's girlfriend is, and she even brought your photo."
"Is that so?" Su Hua's eyes turned cold.
"Targeting me? It seems she can't stand me being close to A-Xuan and wants to use Night Rose to get rid of me."
Jiang Qing could sense the chill in Su Hua's voice.
Jiang Qing silently lit three metaphorical candles for Xu Hui in her heart.
This Xu Hui wouldn't escape without losing a layer of skin, even if she survived.
After all, Young Master Lin was President Su's bottom line.
Daring to covet Young Master Lin was seeking death.
"Where is she now?" Su Hua asked coldly.
"I've already locked her in the basement," Jiang Qing answered respectfully.
"Well done. I'll go meet her shortly."
Su Hua hung up the phone.
Another peach blossom.
Su Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Why were these women always so blind as to flock around A-Xuan?
Su Hua came out of the bathroom, her gaze falling on Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan keenly sensed something off about Su Hua's look.
What's wrong?
Hua Bao just went to take a call.
Why did her mood turn so sour upon returning?
Did something happen at the company?
Su Hua walked up to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan asked with concern, "Hua Bao, did something happen?"
"There's a small matter. I need to go out later to discuss a partnership." Judging from Su Hua's expression, one couldn't tell she was lying at all.
Lin Xuan asked, "Hua Bao, do you need my help?"
"No need, I can handle this small matter myself."
Su Hua sat on Lin Xuan's lap.
One arm wrapped around Lin Xuan's shoulder, while the other hand drew circles on his chest through his clothes.
"But A-Xuan, your ability to attract admirers is quite something," Su Hua said, her red lips parting.
Lin Xuan thought Su Hua was bringing up the matter of Liang Xiaoxia again.
Wasn't the Liang Xiaoxia issue over?
Why was Hua Bao bringing up old scores again?
"Hua Bao," Lin Xuan raised two fingers as if swearing. "No matter how many women like me, I will only ever love you."
"Really, Hua Bao, believe me."
With just Hua Bao alone, she was more than enough for him to handle. Any more, and he really couldn't take it.
Su Hua's red lips pressed against Lin Xuan's ear, her breath like orchids. "If you want me to believe you, A-Xuan, you need to prove it to me."
Lin Xuan's Adam's apple bobbed.
So Hua Bao was indeed using this as a pretext to lure him back to bed again.

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)
