"Old Deng! You're not allowed to talk to me like that ever again!"
Old Deng?
Me?
Lin Tianba on the other end of the line was clearly stunned, as if he couldn't believe these words were coming from Lin Ran.
Next to him, Lin Jian immediately whispered, "Dad! Maybe Brother really got kidnapped and is pretending to have a bad relationship with you so he doesn't drag you into this. The kidnappers might be right next to him!"
Lin Tianba suddenly realized this must be the case. Otherwise, how could his usually submissive son speak so rudely? Thinking about it, he felt a bit touched.
Son, don’t worry. After you're gone, Dad will definitely give you a grand funeral.
"Xiao Ran! Dad was just too worried. Although Dad can't afford to ransom you right now, you can ask the kidnappers what else they want. As long as it's something Dad can do, I’ll do it. I just hope they leave you a whole body..."
Lin Ran was so angry he laughed, and a surge of killing intent welled up inside him.
"Who said I got kidnapped? I just went home with my wife, you motherfucker. You hear rumors and just run with them. Your head is like a hairy watermelon, shaking with rotten pulp inside. You’re a damn retard!"
"Having a father like you, I really feel like I’ve seen it all in life! Slicing my behind with a knife has opened my eyes!"
Lin Tianba instantly went ballistic: "You little bastard, what did you just say? I’m your father! How dare you talk to me like that?"
Lin Ran shot back: "From Jiangnan to Jiangbei, across the whole street, go ask around who the real dad is! Calling me a little bastard, are you shoving laxatives in your mouth or something? Every word out of your mouth is either shit or crap. Your name is such a dumb joke, you shouldn’t call yourself Lin Tianba, you should call yourself Lin Turtle!"
Lin Ran hung up the phone after venting his frustrations, then blacklisted the entire Lin family’s numbers in one go.
You Lin family, just wait for me.
Lin Tianba! In a couple of days, I’ll make sure you know who the real daddy is.
Uncle Fu beside him was shocked. He couldn’t believe the current situation between Lin Ran and the Lin family had escalated to this level.
And what did Lin Ran just say?
With his... wife... going home?
Uncle Fu nearly teared up and personally filled another bowl of soup for Lin Ran.
Lin Ran: "...?"
He refused to drink it.
The 'Cave Paradise Manor' was huge, but Lin Ran was deep into his lazy lifestyle and rarely stepped out of Villa 1. He lounged in the villa, feeling stagnant and thinking about Luo Yao.
I really want to snuggle with my boss wife!
As he thought about it, Lin Ran picked up his phone and searched for the chat log full of transfers, which he had never accepted.
Meanwhile, at the Lin family mansion, Lin Tianba was so enraged he hurled his phone, which hit Lin Jian right on the forehead.
"Ah! Damn it!"
Liu Yuemei was startled and quickly checked on her son's injury, while Lin Tianba was also taken aback, seeing Lin Jian’s forehead already bleeding.
Liu Yuemei gave Lin Tianba a reproachful look.
"Is my son okay?" Liu Yuemei asked with concern.
Lin Tianba apologized awkwardly: "Sorry, son. Dad didn’t mean it!"
Lin Jian, despite the pain, put on a virtuous smile: "It’s okay, Dad! You should focus on saving Brother, at least ask the kidnappers to leave him a whole body!"
Lin Tianba: "We don’t need to care about that ungrateful kid. If he dies, it’s his own fault!"
Liu Yuemei also handed her phone to Lin Tianba, saying, "Yeah, dear! Just now, Xiao Ran must have been threatened. As a mother, I’m so worried. Call him again quickly, ask the kidnappers to make sure he gets a whole body!"
Lin Tianba was moved to tears: "You two are so kind. If that ungrateful kid was half as obedient as Xiao Jian, I wouldn’t have made him sleep in the storage room!"
Lin Tianba took the phone and asked, "What’s that ungrateful kid’s number?"
After asking, all three of them fell silent. They realized they didn’t have Lin Ran’s number.
The number they had just used was one they had asked Liu Ruxue for.
Without a choice, Lin Tianba had to call Liu Ruxue again.
"Little Xue! What’s Xiao Ran’s phone number? Uncle’s phone fell and broke, so I can’t find the call log!"
After getting the number, Lin Tianba dialed Lin Ran’s number once more.
But no matter how he tried, it wouldn’t connect. Even switching to Lin Jian’s phone didn’t work.
"That ungrateful kid, forget about him. Let’s take Xiao Jian to the hospital. Look at this wound, it’s at least a centimeter deep."
Lin Jian gave a virtuous smile: "Thank you, Dad!"
...
In the high-level meeting room of Luo Corporation, all the executives sat in silent fear.
Every meeting felt like a trip to the execution ground. If it weren’t for the excellent benefits at Luo Corporation, they would have left long ago.
And today, Luo Yao’s face was as cold as ice.
Luo Yao fiddled with a pen in her hand, her heart filled with murderous intent.
Today at noon, her assistant reported that Liu Ruxue wanted an internship certificate.
Liu Ruxue was an intern during the summer at one of Luo Corporation’s subsidiaries, which was naturally arranged by Luo Yao.
She had already completely controlled the dynamics of everyone related to Lin Ran, especially this Liu Ruxue.
Lin Ran had gone to see her yesterday, and today she received news from Liu Ruxue.
Moreover, obtaining an internship certificate meant they were about to start school.
Luo Yao was already contemplating whether to make her disappear forever.
If Liu Ruxue were gone, would it make Lin Ran collapse or keep him by her side?
She didn’t want to take the risk and couldn’t afford to.
"Ding!"
A notification sound from her special-attention WeChat broke the silence. Luo Yao picked up her phone.
Then all the executives saw the previously ice-cold Luo Yao’s lips slowly curl into a smile.
What the hell! Luo Yao actually smiled?
What kind of message had such a powerful effect?
They were utterly shocked.
"This meeting is adjourned. Each of you will receive an extra ten thousand dollars in this month’s bonus."
With that, Luo Yao got up and left, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded executives.
Their boss suddenly found their work satisfactory? And even gave them bonuses?
This was just too incredible!
Luo Yao walked straight back to her office without taking her eyes off her phone. Her assistant, Liu Meng, was equally shocked.
Could the person who could stir emotions in Luo Yao be... Lin Ran?
Sitting in her office, Luo Yao stared at the message for a long time, her heart unable to calm down.
Lin Ran: [I miss you. When are you coming back?]
After a moment, Luo Yao replied: [Soon.]
Luo Yao: "I’m leaving now! You handle the rest of the work!"
Liu Meng was stunned: "Uh... okay!"
Luo Yao was actually leaving early? My goodness!
On her way back, Luo Yao received a message from the household manager, Uncle Fu. He sent her the detailed transcript of today’s phone call between Lin Ran and the Lin family.
Upon reading it, Luo Yao's eyes brightened significantly. If her employees saw this, they’d probably be in shock again.
"Lin Ran said... wife... home?"
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.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
