The head nurse was quick-witted and aware of Lin Ran’s status, so she chimed in to mediate.
"Ma'am, let it go. Young Master Lin’s bid is too high—you can’t outbid him without losing face."
Liu Yuemei took a deep breath, thinking, Losing face? Damn right, it’s humiliating. She gritted her teeth and said, "I’ll offer 305,000."
Lin Ran knew this was her limit. If he raised it further, she might not follow. After all, she was a woman who had suffered losses at the gambling table before—she wouldn’t recklessly escalate things again.
"Fine, I’ll let you have it then."
Lin Ran smirked and returned to his hospital room, leaving Liu Yuemei stunned. Suddenly, it dawned on her—Lin Ran had been toying with her all along.
"You little bastard! Stop right there!" Liu Yuemei tried to chase after him, but several bodyguards immediately rushed out from the room, freezing her in place.
Uncle Fu stood in front of the bodyguards and said, "Head Nurse, they can stay if they can pay. Young Master Lin isn’t unreasonable—he just prefers peace and quiet. No loud disturbances."
The head nurse nodded hastily. "Understood."
Uncle Fu then turned to the bodyguards.
"Remember, if any of their family members come within ten meters of this door, make sure they stay here permanently."
"Yes, sir!" The bodyguards responded in unison.
Liu Yuemei quickly retreated, pulling Lin Jian along as they followed the nurse into the room.
Back in his room, Lin Ran’s eyes were unreadable. He called Brother Dao and then waited for Luo Yao.
Soon, Luo Yao arrived with a carefully prepared bowl of plain congee, feeding him spoonful by spoonful. Lin Ran savored the rare feeling of being cared for.
"Yao, let’s check out soon."
Luo Yao knew the Lin family was here, but she didn’t intervene or have them removed. If Lin Ran enjoyed tormenting them, she’d give him the space to do so.
"Alright."
Just then, Liu Yuemei’s shrill voice erupted outside again.
After settling Lin Tianba’s hospitalization, Liu Yuemei had stewed in fury, growing more resentful by the minute.
How dare that abandoned stray, Lin Ran, flaunt his power in front of me?
And to think—his success was built on the Lin family’s foundation. Without them, he’d be nothing.
"Lin Ran! You ungrateful brat! You drove your own father to the hospital—don’t you feel any remorse?"
Too afraid to approach the room, she screamed from a distance, her voice echoing through the entire floor.
Lin Jian wasn’t by her side—he was too embarrassed.
Luo Yao’s expression turned icy, but Lin Ran gently stroked her cheek. "Don’t be angry. I’ll handle it."
With Uncle Fu’s support, Lin Ran stepped out and immediately spotted the hysterical Liu Yuemei.
"Old hag, what nonsense are you spouting now?"
Seeing Lin Ran finally emerge, Liu Yuemei’s hope flared.
"Ran, you’re still a Lin at heart. You took billions from the family, stole the company your father built from scratch, and even pushed him into the hospital. Don’t you feel the slightest urge to kneel and beg for forgiveness?"
Her words were as explosive as ever.
"And? What do you want me to do?"
Liu Yuemei glared at him.
"Return the billions you stole, hand over that necklace you auctioned, kneel and apologize to your father, and give back his shares. Then, maybe, I’ll acknowledge you as part of the family again."
Lin Ran nearly laughed. "Do all you mutts have some weird obsession with kneeling? You love it that much, huh? Wang Bao."
Without hesitation, Wang Bao strode forward. Liu Yuemei paled—she remembered his methods all too well.
"Stay—stay away! Or I’ll call the cops!"
Wang Bao grinned. "Relax. Call them if you want. But first, you’re going to kneel and kowtow a thousand times to apologize to Young Master Lin. If you don’t finish, I’ll treat you—and your family—just like last time."
A chill ran down Liu Yuemei’s spine. She was terrified.
Under Wang Bao’s "guidance," she began kowtowing, each thud audible to every nurse on the floor.
At first, she cursed wildly, but the pain soon reduced her to sobs.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Lin Ran eventually walked up to her. "Say it. ‘I’m a homewrecker, a bitch, a worthless animal.’"
Dazed from the pain, Liu Yuemei barely registered her surroundings, her mind foggy as if she were with some "client."
"I—am—a—slut! A—disgrace! A—whore!"
It wasn’t her first time. The words came easily.
Lin Jian watched from the doorway, stunned by her lack of spine—but he didn’t dare interfere. He was just as scared.
Lin Ran hadn’t expected her to break so easily. A smirk curled his lips.
"Drag the other one out too."
Two more bodyguards marched toward Lin Tianba’s room.
Lin Ran had his phone ready, recording everything.
Lin Jian screamed and swore, but he was shoved out anyway. A kick from a guard sent him crashing to his knees.
"You’re next. Kowtow and chant, ‘I’m the bastard son of a homewrecker, a shameless little mongrel.’"
Watching Wang Bao force Liu Yuemei to keep kowtowing and shouting, Lin Jian’s heart turned to ice.
He knew Lin Ran wasn’t joking. The Lin Ran of late was terrifying.
"G-gege, f-forgive me..."
Lin Ran backhanded him so hard he collapsed.
"Playing dead? Wake him up."
Lin Jian scrambled upright. "N-no! I’m awake!"
"Then get to work. You’re the ones who had the bad luck to cross me. Picking a fight? You kicked a steel beam this time."
Soon, with a bodyguard’s "help," Lin Jian was kowtowing and chanting:
"I’m—the—bastard—son—of—a—homewrecker… a—mongrel..."
Once Lin Ran had enough footage, he returned to his room.
"They don’t leave until they hit a thousand."
Damn idiots. Talking trash and demanding money? Might as well wish for the moon.
Hours later, Liu Yuemei and Lin Jian collapsed unconscious. The doctors diagnosed them with concussions and added two more beds beside Lin Tianba.
After a final checkup confirming he was fine, Lin Ran left the hospital with Luo Yao—no discharge formalities needed.
As they passed Lin Tianba’s room, a pair of venomous eyes locked onto them.
Lin Jian, freshly awake, glared in silent fury.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
