Chapter 0214

These are all vivid examples.

Take Huo Haini and Liu Ruxue—President Luo only made one small move, and Huo Haini vanished while Liu Ruxue ended up behind bars.

For Luo Yao, killing two birds with one stone was as easy as breathing.

Outside the Suran Group building, Lin Ran watched with immense satisfaction as Shen Jingbing was hauled away by an ambulance and Zhuang Bifan was taken by the police.

When dealing with scoundrels, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Wu Zhishang remarked, "Ever since Liu Ruxue's downfall, Shen Jingbing hasn’t had much to do. I was even considering sending him back to being a valet, but who knew he’d still come in handy?"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow.

"In this world, there’s more than just Liu Ruxue who’s detestable."

Wu Zhishang asked, "Who else, then?"

"You’ll find out in time. Keep Shen Jingbing around—he’s a rare talent."

Extraordinary tasks require extraordinary people.

"Ah-Ran."

Lin Ran paused, looking up to see Luo Yao and Liu Meng standing there.

"Little troublemaker, what brings you here?"

Luo Yao threw herself into Lin Ran’s arms, clinging to him like she never wanted to let go.

"I missed you."

Lin Ran scooped her up. "Everyone, close your eyes."

Without hesitation, every employee from both Suran Group and Nuanyao Group shut their eyes.

Lin Ran carried Luo Yao to the car and sped off toward the place they called "home."

"Yao Yao, you’ve done so much for me, and I only just found out. I’m such an idiot."

Lin Ran was referring to Luo Yao’s all-out war against netizens on his behalf—something only she would dare to do.

"They dared to slander you by linking you to Liu Ruxue. That made me furious, so they got what they deserved."

Lin Ran couldn’t help but laugh. Luo Yao was still the same Luo Yao—her anger stemmed from people associating him with Liu Ruxue.

Her possessiveness over him was almost unbelievable, yet Lin Ran didn’t mind this obsessive devotion at all.

"Exactly. They had the nerve to smear me like that. A lawyer’s letter would’ve been you showing mercy."

Suddenly, Lin Ran smirked. "I saw the comments online. They’re begging me to go live. Should I indulge them?"

"That’s such a trivial matter—you decide, Ah-Ran."

A sly grin curled on Lin Ran’s lips. "Then I’ll give them a little taste. Maybe it’ll shut them up for good, crushing their fantasies before they even take flight."

Luo Yao gently bit his shoulder, leaving faint teeth marks.

"Ah-Ran, will you love me like this forever?"

Even now, it felt like a dream to her. Lin Ran’s recent transformation had been so drastic it almost seemed unreal.

Lin Ran replied, "Of course I’ll always love you. And you—you’re only allowed to love me."

Luo Yao’s eyes brimmed with affection. "Naturally. The air you exhale is the only thing keeping me alive."

Lin Ran froze. It seemed Luo Yao had undergone a dramatic change too.

Yao Yao wasn’t cold—she could whisper sweet nothings too.

"Ah-Ran, today we’re doing it in the kitchen…"

Time flew by. The next day, Lin Ran dropped by Nuanyao Media for a quick inspection but found no lurking threats.

Afterward, he returned to Capital University to check on the library project—the foundation was nearly complete.

Interestingly, his presence on campus once again drew a crowd.

Nowadays, whenever he set foot in Capital University, hordes of admirers would swarm him like paparazzi.

It got so bad he started considering early graduation.

After all, attending classes made no difference—it was utterly pointless.

When he brought this up to Principal Tang, the man immediately refused, listing a dozen reasons while secretly feeling relieved.

Thank goodness it was Lin Ran making the request. If Luo Yao had come in person, he wouldn’t have dared say no.

Lin Ran was furious—genuinely furious.

"After everything I’ve done for this school, you can’t even grant me this tiny request? Do you even want to keep your job? My wife is Luo Yao. My grandfather is Chen Xiao. My grandmother is Su Jianguo. Should I call them in for a chat?"

Principal Tang wiped his sweat. "Lin Ran, even if you don’t graduate, the school has no demands on you. You don’t even have to attend classes—I already processed your exemption."

Lin Ran paused. That… actually made sense.

"Fine. But you’d better talk to those students. I’m not some zoo exhibit for them to gawk at every time I show up."

"Understood, Lin Ran. They just admire you, that’s all."

"Oh, they admire me? Great. Tomorrow, I’m going live—they can watch me there."

Principal Tang blinked.

"Live stream?"

"Yep. Since they love staring at me so much, I’ll give them an eyeful."

"Excellent! I’ll even organize a faculty viewing session."

Lin Ran’s face darkened. So he really was being treated like a circus act.

"Do what you want. Oh, and Nuanyao Group is expanding again. If the university needs anything, contact Wu Zhishang."

Principal Tang nodded eagerly.

"Wonderful! You’re all exemplary students of Capital University!"

After leaving campus, Lin Ran visited 'Linyuan Scenic Spot' and the adjacent Capital University Elementary School.

Surveying for the elementary school had already begun—this wasn’t a quick project. There’d be reviews, revisions, and only then could construction start.

Only after ensuring all his ventures were problem-free did Lin Ran finally relax.

These past few days had been his busiest since his rebirth.

Now, with no loose ends left, tomorrow—Friday—he’d go live, spend the weekend with Luo Yao, and wait for Little Black to come find him.

Online, demands for Lin Ran to stream grew louder, and his silence only fueled netizens’ frustration.

But he understood their psychology perfectly.

Initially, he had no intention of going live. But considering Nuanyao Media’s short drama—filmed there and about to premiere—he figured he might as well promote it.

Besides, Little Black hadn’t shown up yet.

One live session might finally shut these netizens up. And honestly, it sounded like a decent way to kill time.

So, early Friday morning after Luo Yao left for work, Lin Ran casually opened his Douyin live stream—completely unprepared.

"No one lifts me to the clouds, so I tread snow to the summit. If fate denies me the sky, I’ll climb Kunlun alone… Well, hello there. Heard you all wanted to see me live?"
