"Don’t cry. Be good." Su Xuan gently picked up the delicate Lin Tiancheng and left the dark room that had brought her endless nightmares. He then drove Tian Cheng straight to Kangnai Hospital. "Master, did you really come to save me?" Tian Cheng lay in the back seat of the car, forcing herself to stay awake as she asked Su Xuan. "I..." Su Xuan’s heart softened when he heard her words. Why did I *really* come to save her? This means she was hoping I would the entire time! He immediately improvised, "I was just passing by. I sensed you were there and rescued you on a whim." "Master, I don’t believe you." Tian Cheng didn’t believe a word of it. The "on a whim" that Master mentioned must have involved countless hardships! He probably thought of me out of the blue, couldn’t reach me when he called, and then reported it to the police. He must have found out I was in a pyramid scheme through them and came to rescue me. Yes. That has to be it. That’s the most logical explanation I can think of. "Master, please tell me the real story!" Lin Tiancheng hadn’t slept properly for God knows how long. Her eyelids were growing heavier by the moment as she murmured, "Otherwise, I’m going to fall asleep." "Alright!" With one hand on the steering wheel, Su Xuan stretched his other hand to the back seat. He gently patted Tian Cheng and began to explain in detail how everything had happened. Lin Tiancheng, who had been on the verge of sleep, became more and more alert as she listened, her beautiful eyes beginning to sparkle. It slowly dawned on her... Su Xuan had actually done so much for her! Just for a little girl like her, he had personally infiltrated the pyramid scheme, rapidly risen to a leadership position, taken control of the entire den, and even had all the organization’s leaders arrested... This kind of "passing by" was earth-shatteringly incredible! Moved, Tian Cheng began to sob again. Master! Why are you so good to me? How can I ever repay you! "Master..." Lin Tiancheng gazed intently at Su Xuan’s silhouette as he drove and said slowly, "I, Lin Tiancheng, owe you my life. From now on, I’m yours. I’ll do whatever you ask of me. I’d even be willing to be the bed-warming maid in your Scholar’s Mansion!" Su Xuan was amused by her words. He glanced back at Lin Tiancheng and said with a smile, "Once you’ve recovered, I’ll find you a proper job. That way, you won’t get scammed again!" Lin Tiancheng said, "Master, as long as it’s a job from you, I’ll do my best. What kind of work will you find for me?" Su Xuan listed them off, "Lycar, Kangnai Hospital, Caranda, TQ Capital, Fei Lian Airlines, Heaven’s Reward Cinemas... Which one do you want to work for?" "Master, you..." Listening to Su Xuan list his various enterprises, Lin Tiancheng’s beautiful eyes widened once again. It turned out Su Xuan was far more incredible than she had ever imagined! She could no longer even begin to calculate Su Xuan’s net worth. She could only exclaim, "Master, you’re simply too amazing! I’m completely in awe!" Su Xuan said, "Think about it over the next few days. Decide which of my companies you want to join, and once your health has recovered, you can start working." Lin Tiancheng nodded vigorously. "Mhm!" Just as they finished their conversation, Su Xuan’s phone suddenly rang. It was Su Zimo. Since he was driving, Su Xuan put the call on speaker. "Su Xuan, I have something to tell you," Su Zimo said. "That Chang Sasha jumped from the roof of the hotel where Zhai Dean was hiding to escape arrest. Thankfully, she’s alive, but she might be better off dead. She suffered a severe brain injury and is now in a vegetative state." She told Su Xuan about this because he had immediately gone to rescue Lin Tiancheng after making his arrangements, so he likely didn’t know what happened afterward. Su Xuan indeed did not know. When he was recounting the story to Tian Cheng, he hadn’t mentioned Chang Sasha or Zhai Dean. Hearing that Chang Sasha was in a vegetative state, Su Xuan said without any change in expression, "It would have been better if she had just listened to me." He had already given Chang Sasha a chance to release Lin Tiancheng, but she had refused. She had brought all of this upon herself and deserved not an ounce of sympathy or pity. "Zhai Dean from the pyramid scheme was also arrested," Su Zimo added. "He surrendered without a fight!" "That’s good," Su Xuan replied. A hint of irrepressible excitement entered Su Zimo’s voice. "Su Xuan, the footage from this raid is incredible! And this wasn’t a performance; it was a real event. I’m sure that once this hits the news, it will cause a huge sensation!" "So, will you be able to win a journalism award for this?" Su Xuan asked. Gratitude now filled Su Zimo’s voice. "It should be all but guaranteed. Thank you, Su Xuan!" "Then you should get to editing the video and preparing the news report!" After they hung up, Lin Tiancheng said softly, "Sasha was just trying to make a lot of money..." "A gentleman desires wealth but obtains it through righteous means," Su Xuan replied. "You even had their founder arrested..." For her, just one young girl, Su Xuan had annihilated an entire pyramid scheme! Every last leader, big and small, had been caught in the net! Lin Tiancheng’s eyes instantly welled up with tears again. Just then, they arrived at Kangnai Hospital. Su Xuan suddenly adopted a mischievous tone. "Tian Cheng, the facilities at Kangnai are truly top-notch, so try to stay for a few extra days. Get everything checked out, and don’t worry about the cost. I can waive the bill for you. Also, old Director Ma loves fruit, and he has a huge stash. Just ask him for whatever you want to eat. If he’s reluctant to share, just mention my name. Right now at Kangnai, my word is law..." Lin Tiancheng couldn’t stop laughing, which brought on a coughing fit. That night, Lin Tiancheng was admitted to the legendary Kangnai Hospital and received top-tier treatment. She lay comfortably in her hospital bed and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, completely oblivious to the drool soaking into her pillow. She even had a dream. In it, Su Xuan stood with his back to her, a sword slung across his shoulders. "Lin Tiancheng," he said, "no one under the heavens can bully a person who belongs to me, Su Xuan!" "Otherwise, my sword will have something to say about it!" Lin Tiancheng was so moved that fresh tears streamed onto her pillow. 「The next day, at the Scholar’s Mansion.」 Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩 "Ah! What a beautiful day!" Su Xuan emerged from his room, faced the rising sun, and stretched lazily. Then, he saw Butler Liu and the two children. The old butler was teaching them Tai Chi. "Su Xuan, time for breakfast!" An unexpected voice called out. Su Xuan turned toward the sound and was surprised to see Wang Xuehan. She had actually come over early in the morning to make him breakfast! Is it because of the kiwis I gave her? "Ah! Life is pretty great!" Su Xuan sighed with contentment again, then joined everyone for a warm and sumptuous breakfast. But after the meal, he felt like something was missing, as if he had overlooked a crucial detail. He immediately gave Zhong Huilan a call. "Director Zhong, could you do me a favor..."
