Lin Ran had just prepared to activate his skills when Luo Yao stepped forward.
This old dog actually dared to bully Ran? She’d make them regret it.
"Park Bo-gi, you have the audacity to make my man kneel? You’ve got some nerve."
Park Bo-gi: "What nerve?"
Luo Yao kicked him instantly, and Park Bo-gi crumpled to the ground.
Of course, she had only aimed for his stomach.
But her movement was so fast that no one had time to react.
By the time they realized what had happened, Park Bo-gi was already writhing on the floor.
"Ugh…" Park Bo-gi groaned in pain.
Luo Yao had gone easy on him—just one kick was already lenient.
"Remember this: keep your head down in China, or you won’t make it back to Korea alive."
Only then did the others snap out of their shock, quickly backing away from Luo Yao, afraid she might turn her fury on them.
This was official territory, and the rules prohibited bringing large numbers of bodyguards, so everyone only had one or two assistants.
If a fight broke out, none of them stood a chance against this madwoman.
They hadn’t tested it, but they were absolutely certain.
Just from the speed and force of Luo Yao’s strike, even professional security would’ve been taken down in seconds.
Damn it, what’s wrong with this woman? How is she so strong?
"Listen up, you old mutts—you mess with me, and I’ll just cripple you. But if you dare touch my man, you’re dead."
Luo Yao knew that escalating things might put her at a disadvantage, especially since she didn’t want Lin Ran exposed to danger.
Her bold declaration wasn’t just empty words—she wanted them to understand just how important Lin Ran was to her.
If you want to bully him, you’ll have to go through me first.
Another reason was that things had already reached this point. The whole country knew Lin Ran was her beloved, and some fools still couldn’t read the room, always scheming against him.
No matter who you are, if you want to lay a finger on Lin Ran, you’d better remember his wife’s name first.
The faces of the three major families darkened, burning with humiliation.
No matter what, Park Bo-gi was still their business partner. For Luo Yao to kick him down right in front of them—wasn’t that a slap in their faces?
At this point, official security stepped in, separating the three families from Luo Yao, but they didn’t dare lay a hand on her.
Lin Ran adored Luo Yao’s domineering attitude. It was something he used to fear and despise, but now it had become his shield.
"Ran, let’s go."
"Okay."
Lu Youqi’s voice turned icy.
"CEO Luo, you’re certainly bold. But to attack someone and just walk away—do you really have so little regard for us and the authorities?"
By now, only a handful of people remained in the auditorium, but every pair of eyes was fixed on the scene.
At the same time, Liu Meng’s hand revealed a small, sleek black object, its muzzle pointed directly at Lu Youqi. Those standing farther away couldn’t see it clearly, but Lu Youqi and his companions broke out in cold sweat.
The security team was stunned.
"Patriarch Lu, are you trying to stop me? Do you even have the strength?"
Lu Youqi swallowed hard. He didn’t dare bet on whether Luo Yao would order Liu Meng to pull the trigger.
"Of course not! I just wanted to catch up. If CEO Luo wishes to leave, I wouldn’t dream of stopping her."
Luo Yao rolled her eyes. "Tch. And here I thought you had some backbone."
With that, Luo Yao strode out of the auditorium with Lin Ran in tow, marking the official start of this unassuming yet brutal corporate war.
The remaining members of the three families and the stragglers in the auditorium exchanged bewildered glances.
"Patriarch Lu, how was Luo Yao allowed to bring that thing in? Doesn’t China ban firearms?" Park Bo-gi finally managed to speak.
Wang Xiaolin explained, "Luo Corporation holds a unique position in China. They control critical national technologies, so they have certain… privileges."
Lu Youqi’s voice was laced with bitterness. "And Luo Yao can claim we’re threatening China’s high-tech security to justify her ‘self-defense.’ What a shameless, tyrannical woman."
They were all at the pinnacle of society, yet Luo Yao stood above even them. Envy burned hotter than admiration.
Backstage, Chen Buhui listened to the report from his subordinates and sighed in resignation.
"That boy… just as troublesome as his mother. I don’t like him."
"As for Luo Yao… using official privileges as a weapon for her whims? I don’t like that either."
Inside the car, Lin Ran massaged Luo Yao’s shoulders and legs.
"Wifey, you’re absolutely invincible—the fiercest woman alive. My admiration for you is as boundless as the endless river."
Somewhere along the way, Lin Ran had grown to love the feeling of being protected by his wife.
Luo Yao pouted, still sulking.
"I just can’t stand them bullying you. Especially that Park Bo-gi—how dare he make you kneel? If I don’t bankrupt Samsung, I don’t deserve to be your wife."
Lin Ran grinned brightly. "No need for that. Whether Samsung goes bankrupt or not, you’ll always be my wife. The reason they treat me this way is because they fear you. Whether it’s respect or hatred, it all stems from their terror of you."
Was Lin Ran right? Absolutely. Luo Yao knew it too.
"I know, and I understand. But it still pisses me off. I didn’t do enough today. Next time I see the Triple Alliance, I’ll beat them so hard they won’t know which way is north."
Lin Ran: "…What alliance?"
"Samsung and the three little families. Triple Alliance, duh."
Everyone else facepalmed. What kind of lame joke was that?
Only Lin Ran beamed, thinking his Luo Yao was utterly adorable.
Ruthless? Where?
"Alright, next time, I’ll help you beat them up. Don’t be angry, wifey. What do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "This isn’t a reward—I just want to see you happy."
Kindness should be spoken aloud. If you hide it, it’s wasted effort.
Say it, and the one you love will understand your heart.
Even if they grumble, "Ugh, you’re so needy—always fishing for praise," can you really say they aren’t happy deep down?
"Ran, how about we eat out today?" It was getting late, and Luo Yao didn’t want Lin Ran to overwork himself.
"Out? That garbage isn’t fit for humans. Noodles that aren’t noodles, dough that isn’t dough—just tell me what you want, and I’ll make it."
Liu Meng rolled her eyes, while Little Tong and Wang Bao in the front seat twitched.
So the food we usually eat isn’t human-grade?
"Fine, I’ll listen to you, Ran…"
Suddenly, Liu Meng gasped.
"Oh my god—"
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.
