Su Lin didnât expect Xiao Chen to have saved Blood Rose so soon and use her to seek revenge. It was indeed the style of a protagonist.
However, Su Lin already had a complete plan in his mind. He intended to set a trap for Xiao Chen, the kind that would leave him speechless.
After Luo Sihai finished his phone call and returned, he asked, âBoss, that Li family kid is still gambling. Do you want me to take action now?â
Su Lin waved his hand, âNo rush, just watch for now.â
âWatch?â
Su Lin nodded, not elaborating. Luo Sihai might not understand Su Linâs plan, but he had already adjusted his attitude to follow Su Linâs lead without question.
Blood Rose quickly caught Li Ziyenâs attention â her allure was irresistible, drawing the eyes of everyone at the table.
Li Ziyen, trying to act like a gentleman, asked her, âBeautiful lady, are you alone?â
Having been abandoned by his family, Li Ziyen was ready to live a carefree life, relying on Li Ziyu for his expenses.
Blood Rose smiled slightly, âWhat else? Itâs not like I can suddenly become two people.â She then changed her posture, resting her chin in her hand, glancing at him.
Li Ziyen prided himself on being experienced with women, but even he felt overwhelmed by Blood Rose. He flirted, âYouâre quite interesting, miss.â
Confident due to his ârelationshipâ with Luo Sihai, Li Ziyen boldly grabbed Blood Roseâs hand, mistaking her for one of the women arranged by Luo to accompany gamblers.
Blood Rose forcefully withdrew her hand, coquettishly saying, âSir, I donât even know your name yet, and youâre already getting handsy?â
Li Ziyen replied, âMy name? Just a down-and-out rich second-generation, not worth mentioning.â
Blood Rose insisted, âBut thatâs basic courtesy in making friends.â Blood Rose had easily confirmed Li Ziyenâs identity, as the men of these families often appeared in various news stories.
âAlright, since youâre so curious, Iâll tell you. Iâm Li Ziyen of the Li family.â
Blood Rose probed, âLi familyâs young master, indeed a rich second-generation. But why the âdown-and-outâ part?â
Li Ziyen was smitten by Blood Roseâs every gesture and didnât feel any anger. Unaware of Blood Roseâs murderous intent, Li Ziyen was completely under her charm.
Blood Rose wanted to kill him right there but remembered Xiao Chen wanted him alive, so she restrained herself.
âSo what if Iâm the young master? Iâm just another second-generation waiting to inherit. By the way, now that Iâve told you my name, shouldnât you tell me yours?â
âYou can call me Rose,â Blood Rose said coolly.
âRose? Got it, those in your line of work donât use real names, only codenames,â Li Ziyen understood.
Blood Rose nodded, âCorrect, we use codenames in our line of work.â
âHeh, how about you play a few rounds with me, Rose? Iâll help you win some money.â
âSure~!!â
Seeing them getting along, Su Lin turned to Luo Sihai, âCheck if Li Ziyen brought any bodyguards with him.â
Luo Sihai immediately replied, âI already checked. He came alone today to gamble, without any bodyguards.â
âOh~!! I see.â
âArrange for this young master to lose money, as much as possible. Then have some thugs hassle him.â
Luo Sihai understood and signaled a subordinate to make arrangements for Li Ziyen. With the houseâs manipulation, Li Ziyen began losing money, while those around him, betting the opposite, kept winning.
Half an hour later, Li Ziyen couldnât take it anymore. His allowance, though substantial to ordinary people, was insufficient for his lifestyle. He grabbed Blood Rose, patting her buttocks, âLetâs go, beautiful. Iâll take you somewhere exciting.â
Blood Rose stood up, following Li Ziyen, her eyes flashing coldly. No one in the assassin organization dared treat her this way.
Xiao Chen had asked for him alive if possible, but dead if necessary. Initially, Blood Rose didnât want to kill Li Ziyen, but at that moment, she changed her mind. Li Ziyen must die.
âBoss, theyâre leaving.â
Su Lin waved, âNo rush. Just have someone keep an eye on that woman. They donât need to follow her closely, just a casual glance to know her approximate location.â
âUnderstood, my men are professionals at this,â Luo Sihai said confidently.
Su Lin chuckled, âCall Li Ziyu and tell her to bring the money for the Beihai land deal to meet you. If she ignores you, tell her youâre working for me now, and the entire Sihai Group is under my command. Sheâll come.â
âIf she agrees, tell her I have another deal to discuss with her.â
âUnderstood, boss. Iâll do it right away.â
After finishing his call, Luo Sihai dialed Li Ziyuâs office. He didnât have her personal number but easily got through on the official line.
Initially, Li Ziyu refused, but upon hearing Luo Sihai had pledged allegiance to Su Lin, she hesitated and then agreed to his request.
In Liâs Group headquarters, Li Ziyu hung up the phone, frowning, âWhy would Luo Sihai choose Su Lin over Su Zhenguo?â
She was surprised at how quickly the world had changed overnight. Su Lin, an unexpected player, had suddenly entered the game.
She had heard of Su Lin before, especially during the opening of Quan Le Gou Donghai branch when Qin Gong personally sent him a flower basket.
When news of Su Linâs involvement in the opening of that Donghai branch was reported to Li Ziyu, she didnât pay much attention, focusing more on the sudden emergence of 4G communication technology and Su Zhenguoâs rise to prominence.
She only knew of Su Lin as the owner of Quan Le Gou and the son of Su Zhenguo.
However, now hearing that Luo Sihai had pledged allegiance to Su Lin, she began to take the name Su Lin seriously for the first time, realizing that he might be more than meets the eye.
âXiaomei, prepare the car for me. I need to go out in five minutes, and arrange some bodyguards,â Li Ziyu instructed her assistant.
âOkay, General Manager!â
After hanging up the phone, Li Ziyu began to analyze Su Linâs intentions. It was one thing for Su Lin to ask her to deliver money, but another to discuss additional business.
What could Su Lin possibly want to discuss, given that Su Zhenguo was handling the 4G communication pilot project? Her mind raced, piecing together recent events.
Meanwhile, Li Ziyen had left the casino with Blood Rose. He proudly showed off his Ferrari to her, expecting her to be impressed like other women, either screaming in excitement or fawning over him. He was mistaken.
Blood Rose merely glanced at the car and said, âIâve driven this model before.â
Surprised, Li Ziyen doubted her, âYouâre sure you can handle a sports car like this?â
Blood Rose nodded confidently, âOf course. Donât believe me? Let me show you.â
âGreat, Iâd love to see your driving skills,â Li Ziyen said, pleased. He thought the Ferrari was alluring and fun to drive, but also high-maintenance.
As Li Ziyen gallantly opened the car door, Blood Roseâs murderous intent surged. Once he got into the car, she would make her move.
Just as Li Ziyen settled into the car, a flash of silver light zipped by. He clutched his neck, eyes wide with shock, staring at Blood Rose.
Blood Rose spoke coldly, âYour mistake was touching what you shouldnât have.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Ziyen could only gasp in horror.
