The motorcade drove out of the manor. Those luxurious cars glistened in the sunlight as they headed towards the Suran Group.
When they arrived, Lin Tianba was doing a live - stream on his phone and was dressed very appropriately. He was wearing an expensive suit, his hair was neatly combed, and there was a fake smile on his face as he tried to create an image of righteousness.
"I'm the former chairman of the Suran Group. The Suran Group has kicked me out now. It's because I wanted them to build the 'Linyuan Shengjing' more sturdily. As a result, my own son joined forces with other shareholders to oust me. Lin Ran may seem kind, but in fact, he's just a heartless capitalist."
His voice was loud and spread through the live - stream into the ears of countless people. There was a glint of triumph in his eyes, as if he had already seen Lin Ran's downfall.
Lin Ran let out a scoff. Lin Tianba really had the nerve to say such things.
Actually, Lin Tianba himself knew that this wouldn't pose any real threat to Lin Ran. After all, he was just spouting off casually.
His goal was still to lure Lin Ran out. He hoped that Lin Ran would be afraid of him causing trouble for the Suran Group and help him pay off his debts.
He was taking a gamble, betting that Lin Ran would compromise for the sake of the group's reputation.
Suddenly, a super - handsome face appeared on the screen of his phone. Lin Tianba leaned closer to the phone and was instantly shocked.
He didn't expect Lin Ran to show up so soon, and he looked completely unfazed.
He turned around and said, "Son, you're here. I've told you that we must have a conscience when doing business."
Lin Tianba pretended to be a kind - hearted father.
Lin Ran immediately had someone control Lin Tianba and then looked at the live - stream comments himself.
Sure enough, the comments were unbearable. There were all kinds of insults.
Lin Ran showed his big white teeth. "Hey! Sorry, you can't watch the live - stream anymore because the next scene is going to be quite terrifying."
His tone was a bit teasing, but there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
"As for your question about whether our property is a shoddy project, I can responsibly answer you - even if it is a shoddy project, you don't have to foot the bill. So, just go to bed. I'll call the police later. If it really is a shoddy project, I'll naturally go to jail. If not, you know what will happen."
His voice was steady and powerful, and it was transmitted through the live - stream.
The comments on the live - stream instantly went silent. Those who had been frantically insulting were stunned by Lin Ran's words. They began to think about the meaning behind Lin Ran's words, and the atmosphere in the entire online live - stream room became a bit eerie.
The incident when netizens slandered Lin Ran last time and Luo Yao sent out lawyer's letters one by one instantly popped into everyone's minds.
That scene seemed to be right in front of their eyes. Luo Yao was like an enraged lioness.
Those who received the lawyer's letters were all terrified, and the entire online world was awed by this powerful aura.
So, a large number of viewers in the live - stream room left in an instant.
They were like a flock of frightened birds, scattering in all directions.
The once - bustling live - stream room suddenly became deserted, leaving only Lin Tianba in front of the camera, looking a bit at a loss.
Lin Ran turned off the live - stream and stared at Lin Tianba expressionlessly.
His eyes were like cold blades, piercing straight into Lin Tianba, making people shudder.
"Old brute, are you itching for a beating again recently?"
Lin Tianba's heart ached as he watched Lin Ran's arrogant demeanor.
There were complex emotions in his eyes, including surprise, anger, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness.
He didn't understand why his well - behaved son had suddenly become so rebellious.
In his memory, Lin Ran used to be so obedient, like a docile lamb, always following his words. But now, the Lin Ran standing in front of him was like a stranger, a stranger who made him feel scared.
"Xiaoran, don't you have any father - son affection at all? Aren't you really going to kowtow to me and admit your mistakes?"
Lin Tianba tried to appeal to Lin Ran with family affection. His voice was a bit shaky, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, hoping that Lin Ran would change his mind.
"No, I'm really angry now, so I'm going to beat you. Literally."
Lin Ran was resolute and didn't hesitate at all.
Lin Tianba instantly became nervous. "Are you trying to finish me off?" His body trembled slightly, and there was a flash of panic in his eyes.
"Whether you live or die doesn't really matter to anyone. But considering our father - son relationship, as your father, I won't really beat you to death. After all, killing is against the law."
Lin Ran's words were like a cold death sentence, and there was no trace of mercy in his eyes.
Then, Lin Ran once again transformed into a strict father and started to discipline Lin Tianba, right in front of all the employees of the Suran Group. His actions were forceful and decisive, and each blow carried his "love" for his "son".
He didn't care about the looks from the people around him, nor did he care if someone would film it and post it online.
In his opinion, having been reborn, if he couldn't live a straightforward and carefree life, then he would have lived in vain.
Internal strife would only drive himself crazy. It was better to drive others crazy instead.
"Ah - brute, you little brute."
Lin Tianba's screams echoed in the air, and his body trembled continuously under Lin Ran's beating.
As Lin Ran beat him, he scolded, "Still daring to scold, huh? Little brute, right? I think you're really like a walnut - you never get enough of being beaten."
He didn't stop his actions for a moment.
After the "exercise", Lin Ran rubbed his slightly sore arm and suddenly frowned.
"Something's not right. Why are you still in the mood to be here?" He looked at Lin Tianba with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Lin Tianba didn't understand what Lin Ran meant.
He was lying on the ground, in a sorry state, with fear and confusion in his eyes.
Lin Ran said, "Don't you realize what a cheap and despicable woman Liu Yuemei is?" There was a flash of disgust in his eyes.
Lin Tianba instantly got angry. "I won't allow you to insult your mother."
He tried to get up from the ground to defend Liu Yuemei. There was determination in his eyes. In his heart, Liu Yuemei was the woman he loved the most, and he wouldn't allow anyone to slander her.
Lin Ran rolled his eyes. He really began to wonder how Lin Tianba had managed to live to such an old age with such low intelligence.
Maybe Liu Yuemei had really stayed with Lin Tianba out of love.
"Fine, then I'll show you something."
Lin Ran took out his phone, pulled up an edited video, and showed it to Lin Tianba.
Lin Tianba stared at the content on the phone and instantly widened his eyes. There was shock and disbelief in his eyes, and his body began to tremble violently.
"Impossible. Yuemei can't be such a woman."
His voice was a bit hoarse, as if he had used up all his strength.
"Seems like you really trust her. Well, now you can go back and confront her. I'm giving you this chance."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
