The prison guards were monitoring their conversation, and one of them, being an avid internet user, couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing Lin Li's words.
"Hahahaha.
A eunuch.
This is too funny."
"Little Wang, what are you laughing at?" another officer asked curiously.
Little Wang's grin hadn't faded yet. "Lin Li just came for a visit and mentioned being a eunuch. Thinking about the online drama, I just couldn’t hold it in."
Wait—
Little Wang’s laughter suddenly stopped.
Wasn’t Lin Li the son of Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin?
Why was he calling Wang Yajun "Mom"?
He remembered that Wang Yajun had conspired to have her husband run over and left in a vegetative state so she could hook up with Lin Chang.
Holy crap!
So Lin Li was actually Wang Yajun and Lin Chang’s son, and Jiang Shuqin had no idea. She’d been raising the other woman’s child while her own biological son was kicked out of the house.
Wasn’t this scandal way too juicy?
The prison guard couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.
If it weren’t for his job, he’d be sharing this gossip with everyone.
"A eunuch?" Wang Yajun’s eyes widened. "Li’er, how could you have become a eunuch?"
"I don’t know who did it. It wasn’t Lin Xuan, but I can’t think of anyone else who’d do this," Lin Li said, biting his lip. "A few days ago was my wedding to Feng Yaya, the heiress of Feng Corporation."
At this, Wang Yajun’s eyes lit up.
Her son was marrying the Feng Corporation heiress?
This was fantastic! If he really married her, the entire Feng Corporation would be his.
She’d be set for life.
But Lin Li’s next words shattered her fantasy.
"Everything was ready for the wedding, but then it all blew up right there at the ceremony."
Wang Yajun froze. "Who did it?"
"Lin Xuan," Lin Li said weakly, his energy drained. "No doubt it was him. Now everyone knows I’m a eunuch. Dad even took me to the hospital for tests."
"Oh, and Dad’s also sterile now. He personally took me to check, and he knows my sperm is completely nonviable."
"Now that Lin Xuan is his only hope for an heir, he might bring him back and kick me out. Mom, what should I do?"
"If I’m thrown out of the Lin family, Lin Xuan will make sure I can’t earn a living. When you get out of prison, I won’t even be able to give you a decent life."
The eavesdropping guard was thoroughly entertained.
Incredible.
Absolutely incredible.
Good thing he hadn’t taken leave—otherwise, he’d have missed this soap opera-worthy drama.
The level of absurdity was like fiction come to life.
Hearing this, Wang Yajun’s face twisted with worry.
She tightened her grip on the phone. "Li’er, don’t worry. Mom will handle this."
"I won’t let them throw you out."
"Mom… can you really do it?" Lin Li’s eyes flickered with hope before dimming again. "Is it even possible?"
"Your father will visit me in two days. I’ll convince him not to disown you," Wang Yajun said confidently.
She wasn’t young anymore, and Lin Chang wasn’t exactly the loyal type. But she’d kept him hooked all these years because she knew exactly how to play him.
She catered to his whims, ensuring he never lost interest.
Now, she’d use his guilt to keep Lin Li in the family—and in Starlight Group.
"Visiting time’s almost up," the guard reminded them. "One minute left. Say what you need to say."
"Li’er, go home and wait for my good news," Wang Yajun said.
"Alright. Take care of yourself in here, Mom." Lin Li nodded, hung up, and left the prison with a lighter heart.
He needed to clear his mind, so instead of heading straight home, he wandered the streets.
The heat became unbearable, and he finally pulled off his hat and mask for some relief.
Earlier, two girls had mistaken him for a celebrity and kept staring.
The moment he revealed his face, they recognized him instantly.
"Lin Li! It’s Lin Li! The guy who got exposed as a eunuch at his sham wedding!" They pointed at him excitedly.
Soon, a crowd gathered.
"Is that the scumbag Lin Li?" an elderly man asked curiously.
"Yep, that’s him," a gap-toothed woman spat in Lin Li’s direction. "A lying eunuch, tricking girls into marriage just to steal their family’s money. Disgusting."
A younger girl added, "He’s done this before! At his birthday party over a year ago, he was caught cheating with another woman—Shen Qianqian, another only child. He wanted her money too, but karma got him good."
More and more people noticed Lin Li.
Now a public enemy, he was like a rat scurrying from a mob. The nearby market meant many had vegetables on hand—
Cabbages, eggs, anything they could throw rained down on him.
"Die, you cheating eunuch! Serves you right for scamming people!"
A middle-aged woman hurled produce while cursing loudly.
Lin Li knew he couldn’t stay. He squeezed through the crowd, covered in filth, and fled to his car.
Too shaken to linger, he drove off.
But his mood remained heavy.
He needed somewhere deserted, where no one would point and stare.
He headed for the outskirts, where mountains stretched endlessly and people were scarce.
SCREECH—
A car pulled up abruptly in front of him.
Lin Li slammed the brakes.
Frowning, he stepped out and approached the black vehicle, ready to confront the driver.
Knock, knock, knock—
He rapped on the window.
Two bodyguards stepped out.
Then, another car stopped behind him—two more men in identical suits emerged.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
transmigrates into the role of a villainous rich second-generation kid in an urban fantasy novel, and gets bound to a god-tier choice system. Right at the start, he catches the female lead stealing exam papers! This triggers the villain's choice options! [Choice 1: Pretend you didn't see anything] [Choice 2: Loudly call her out, drawing everyone's attention] [Choice 3: ...] And thus, a twisted villain is born. To avoid getting killed by the protagonist, he has no choice but to take down all the protagonists first. Jiang Che: Nobody understands being twisted better than me!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
