"I could have let you off the hook earlier, but the amount you embezzled wasn’t enough to land you in prison—until now."
After being restrained by bodyguards, Luo Wunai began to panic. If a full audit were conducted on her, there would truly be no chance of recovery.
"President Luo, is there really no way out for me?"
Lin Ran watched Luo Yao’s performance, inwardly marveling at her dominance. Was this the ruthless power of a tycoon?
Luo Yao sensed Lin Ran’s intense gaze, warmth flickering in her heart, though her expression remained icy.
"Is this your first day knowing me? Do you not understand who I am? Begging for mercy? Have you lost your mind?"
With that, Luo Yao sealed Luo Wunai’s fate.
Realizing her doom, Luo Wunai refused to go down without a fight.
"Ha! Luo Yao, do you think this is your turf in the capital? This is Shanghai. My security isn’t just for show."
"Security! Where are they? Get these people out of here! And Luo Yao—she’s trying to destroy everything. If I’m ousted today, every one of you could be next tomorrow!"
The room fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads.
They had heard rumors of Luo Yao’s mercilessness, but today, they witnessed it firsthand.
"More formidable than the legends," some muttered.
As for Luo Wunai? She was just a branch manager under Luo Yao—hardly worth risking their careers for.
The true authority in Luo Corporation had always been Luo Yao alone.
And embezzlement? A crime deserving of no sympathy.
Many secretly relished the moment.
Every corporation had its shadows, but when corruption reached the top, it was disastrous.
Someone like Luo Wunai, handing out promotions for bribes, stifled real talent—a terrifying thought.
Of course, not everyone despised her. Some of her accomplices debated whether to stand with her.
But Luo Yao swiftly crushed any such notions.
"Security? Sorry, I took control of this place before I even arrived. Your delusions of power in Shanghai? Just me letting you play the fool."
Luo Wunai was stunned. How had Luo Yao infiltrated her domain without her noticing?
She’d been so careful.
"Liu Meng, contact Xu Kai. Time to clean up."
"Right away, President Luo."
Liu Meng shot Luo Wunai a scornful look.
Embezzling billions in a single year? She’d signed her own death warrant.
Luo Wunai shrieked, "Luo Yao, you heartless monster! You’ll never know love! Even your own aunt—you’d send her to prison? You’re just a—"
A blur shot forward. A sharp slap cracked through the air.
SMACK!
Lin Ran’s eyes burned with fury. "Watch your damn mouth. Who says Yao doesn’t deserve love? Am I invisible? I missed hitting you at the family estate last time—consider this a make-up."
He’d already been furious about the embezzlement—those were Luo Yao’s funds, which meant his funds too.
But insulting his wife? Unforgivable.
If he didn’t slap her senseless, his surname might as well be "Two Trees."
Lin Ran realized something: openly loving Luo Yao, standing up for her—it felt good.
"You puppet! How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? I’m her aunt! I’ll tear you apart!"
Her flailing claws never reached him, the bodyguards ensuring she stayed just inches short.
Lin Ran smirked. "Oh? You wanna fight? Bold move."
SMACK! Another slap.
Sometimes he wondered if he was the reincarnation of the Slap God.
"With all that screeching, I thought the zoo left its gates open. Look at you—pathetic and powerless."
Dazed from the force, Luo Wunai whimpered, "I—I devoted myself to the Luo family, and this is how an outsider treats me?"
Lin Ran scoffed. "Playing the victim now? Fine. Let me ask—what’s your dream?"
He feared no one—except, perhaps, Luo Yao herself.
His boldness came from standing beside her.
For every admirer Luo Yao had, there was a hater waiting in the shadows. If they ever came for her, he’d be ready.
Why hold back?
"Oh wait, I know. Your dream was to embezzle a hundred million, right?"
Luo Yao rose, linking arms with Lin Ran, her gaze icy.
"Wrong, A’Ran. She took billions in a year."
Lin Ran blinked. "How much?"
Even he hadn’t expected a branch manager to steal that much.
The room gasped.
Luo Yao turned back to Luo Wunai. "What did you call A’Ran just now?"
"An outsider? To me, he’s everything. You’re the outsider."
Luo Wunai froze under Luo Yao’s stare—the same one that had suffocated her years ago.
Lin Ran added, "She also called me your ‘toy.’ Honestly? I’m proud to be your toy."
"You don’t mind?"
"Mind? I love it. Let the world look down on me. I’ll stay shamelessly yours."
He fed the entire room a spoonful of PDA.
No more caution. Love was meant to be declared—loudly, boldly, unapologetically.
Luo Yao’s lips curled.
"Is your face that fair? Average, really. But your pores glow. What skincare do you use?"
Lin Ran laughed at her sudden tangent.
"Your love is the best moisturizer. Now—what about Luo Wunai?"
"Hand her to the authorities. The auditors will take over."

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
