Aside from the lively atmosphere inside the Lin Mansion, a car was parked in the shadows outside the Lin Mansion at a secluded corner. A man was sitting inside the car covered with gloom and unhappiness. Long Xun looked at the vibrant mansion, and in every few minutes, he could see big cars going inside the Mansion.

Simply closing his eyes, he leaned his head on the headrest and his thoughts started to wander. He thought about every information he got in the last 24 hours about Li Xiaolu, his father, and Li Youbin. Today was the moment of truth for him. By hook or by crook, today he was going to clarify everything related to that incident and only then he can be sure about his enemies and he will be able to plan his next move.

Just as Long Xun was thinking about all of these, somebody knocked on his car window. Opening his eyes, Long Xun noticed the person standing outside his car and he motioned the person to get in.

"Boss, why did you call me here?" Layla asked with a confused look as she sat on the passenger seat.

"You know how angry Housekeeper Qin was because I had to leave Su Yanyan alone and in his care. He even asked me about my whereabouts but because you have told me to keep this meeting a secret, so I lied to him and somehow got out of the Mansion." Layla informed remembering about the all the shouting she got from Housekeeper Qin.

"What is all this secrecy, Boss?" Layla asked.

"Layla, what I am about to tell you is a very serious thing. So listen carefully." Long Xun said seriously.

Layla nodded on seeing Long Xun's dark and serious expressions. She knew that whatever he was going to tell her now would be a big thing because Long Xun never acted like this. Even before, if there was any serious issue among the gang, her Boss, Long Xun would always be calm and swift in his actions. This time he was super duper serious and so she listened carefully to everything that he said.

As Long Xun continued speaking, Layla's eyes went wide as saucers with all the information and facts she was hearing. She was completely shocked and surprised to know that something like this was going on right under their nose and they were completely unaware of it.

"Shit!" she cursed loudly after Long Xun had finished telling everything that he knew to her.

"Boss, I still can't believe it. How can they do this to us?" she fumed angrily. After knowing the facts, if she could be this angry then she could only imagine what Long Xun might be going through. After all, it's not easy to face the fact that people you are trusting the most are the very same ones who are betraying you.

"I'm not sure about it, Layla. This is just my speculation for now. After today's party, I'll know the whole truth." Long Xun added.

"Boss what if it is all true? What if your assumption is true? What will you do then?" Layla asked.

"What do you think will I do, Layla?" Long Xun asked instead of answering her question.

"Umm.... take revenge.... kill them," Layla answered.

Long Xun nodded. His eyes turning murderous and a killing aura spread throughout the whole car scaring Layla. "Killing is a must. After all, everyone has to pay for everything that they had done to me and Li Xiaolu." he sneered.

"But before that, don't they like to see me dancing on their tunes? They want me to be their puppet then I'll become the best puppet they would have ever seen," he smirked.

"I'll dance and dance and dance like an obedient puppet until I turn this whole game around and smash it on their face," he added.

"Yes, Boss." Layla agreed with an exciting look. Thinking about something she asked, "Boss before telling me all of this, weren't you worried that I would also be one of the traitors?"

Long Xun smiled, " I know you, Layla."

"Thank you, Boss." Layla smiled. "Don't worry. I won't disappoint you," she vowed solemnly.

"I know."

"So what do I have to do now?" she asked.

"Wait for my message. I'll tell you what to do next. And Layla is very careful. They have their eyes and ears everywhere." Long Xun reminded.

"Don't worry. I won't let you down." Layla winked before she got down from the car.

Long Xun took a deep breath and he drove towards the Mansion. On seeing his luxurious car, the guards let him in without any questions. At first, Long Xun thought of doing something to get inside the Lin Mansion because he didn't have any invitation but later on he got a call from his secretary who kindly reminded him that they have received an invitation for the party. He was a little surprised because he didn't think that the Lins would dare to invite him but soon he realized the reason. He was the owner of Xunlu Corporation and nobody knew that.

When he entered the Lin Mansion many childhood memories passed through his mind. He smiled remembering all those beautiful memories from holding his father's hand and going inside the mansion to him playing with his friends. He remembered them all and finally, his memory once again stopped on the day everything changed.

I will know everything today!

Long Xun clenched his hands and he walked inside. As soon as he entered, he saw many people especially women looking at him in awe. Long Xun didn't care about any of them for he was immune to these kinds of gazes. He walked towards the bar and took a glass of red wine for himself.

Taking a sip, his eyes immediately searched for Li Xiaolu in the crowd and after a few seconds, he found her with the Lin brothers and Zhang Zhehan. She looked beautiful as usual and seeing that smile on her face made him happy but something had changed.

Long Xun couldn't pinpoint what it was but he knew that something inside his heart for her has changed but what was it?
