A few words stirred Lin Ran's heartstrings, and he felt that even if he were to die tonight, it would be worth it.
After it was over, Luo Yao still wasn't sleepy, clinging to Lin Ran and breathing softly like an orchid.
"Do you like it, Ah Ran?"
Lin Ran placed a finger on Luo Yao's lips.
"Shh! Woman, I warn you, don't seduce me. It's been a long time since I graduated high school, and I've completely forgotten 'Li Sao.' Now, I'm terrifyingly mischievous."
Luo Yao: "So?"
Lin Ran: "...I'm speechless."
Lust is a knife hanging over one's head, and under the pomegranate skirt, escape is impossible—each stroke of the blade cuts deep into the waist.
Early in the morning, opening the window, the mood was delightful.
At the dining table, Lin Ran sat beside Luo Yao and whispered, "Honey, I still think we should exercise some restraint. After all, I'm only human."
Luo Yao: "Then I'll have Liu Meng throw away the things she prepared."
Outside the villa, Liu Meng, who had been waiting for Luo Yao, was resting with her eyes closed. She had tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and now had dark circles under her eyes.
She opened her eyes, checked the time, and realized it was past the scheduled hour. She knocked on the door to inquire.
Just as she followed Uncle Fu into the dining room, she heard Luo Yao's words and was filled with confusion.
Did Luo Yao ask me to prepare something?
Oh no... Could it be?
A glimmer of gossip flashed in her eyes again.
Having worked with Luo Yao for many years, rising from a small assistant to a trusted right-hand, she naturally understood Luo Yao well.
But precisely because she understood, she was shocked by Luo Yao's current transformation.
So this is the real Luo Yao.
Lin Ran, you're so lucky! But are you really worthy of our Luo Yao, the best in the world?
Eh, he's just good-looking. I haven't noticed anything else special about him.
Lin Ran: "??? There's more?"
"Wait, that... wasting is shameful, and we shouldn't litter."
Luo Yao smiled and leaned closer.
"Ah Ran, I think I've discovered some ways to control you."
Lin Ran: "I'd say it's voluntary."
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
"Be good today, okay?"
Lin Ran obediently nodded.
In his heart, he knew he had to deal with Liu Ruxue; otherwise, she would always be a thorn in Luo Yao's side.
Luo Yao straightened her clothes and left with Liu Meng. As soon as they got in the car, she said, "Don't forget to prepare the things I mentioned."
Liu Meng: "Luo Yao, are you serious? I'm your assistant, but I can't do this kind of thing for you."
"Okay, Luo Yao."
What galaxy did Lin Ran save in his past life?
Luo Yao: "Prepare more."
Liu Meng: "...???"
Luo Yao: "If Ah Ran isn't satisfied, you can stop coming to work."
Liu Meng's pupils shook: What?
Luo Yao, are you even listening to yourself?
Lin Ran, back at the villa, decided not to go to school and called Wu Zhishang to cover for him.
After a nap, his legs finally felt less weak.
Well-rested, Lin Ran began to think about how to formally deal with the enemies from his past life.
The first step is to make them experience true torment.
Lin Family, Liu Ruxue, prepare to face the judgment of the devil.
After planning, he contacted Wu Zhishang: "Do you know Brother Dao?"
Wu Zhishang was startled. As a local, how could he not know Brother Dao?
Cold sweat dripped down Wu Zhishang's face on the other end of the line: "Of course I know. Lin Ran, what do you mean? Did you mess with him?"
Lin Ran: "No."
Wu Zhishang: "That's good. If you messed with Brother Dao, it would be trouble."
Lin Ran confidently replied: "It's fine. Even if I did, he'd have to make way for me. After all, my wife is amazing."
Wu Zhishang: "Lin Ran, I've noticed you've been bragging a lot lately."
Lin Ran didn't bother explaining: "Listen, help me contact Brother Dao. Tell him I have a deal to discuss with him."
There was silence on the other end before Wu Zhishang responded: "Bro, are you serious? What are you trying to do?"
Negotiating with Brother Dao? Isn't that like dancing on the edge of the law?
Lin Ran: "Just tell me if you'll help or not."
If Wu Zhishang refused, Lin Ran planned to ask Luo Yao for help.
He didn't go to Luo Yao directly because he didn't want her to worry about what he was doing.
Wu Zhishang: "Alright, I'll help. I have a scoundrel cousin who works under Brother Dao."
Lin Ran: "Good, thanks, bro."
After hanging up, Lin Ran's eyes welled up with tears.
Of course, Lin Ran knew about Wu Zhishang's cousin working for Brother Dao; otherwise, he wouldn't have approached him directly.
In his past life, after his death, Wu Zhishang was the first to know, even before Luo Yao.
When Lin Ran was pushed off the rooftop, Wu Zhishang was waiting for him downstairs. That day, Wu Zhishang had risked everything to help Lin Ran escape from the estate.
Wu Zhishang couldn't believe what had happened. He called the police, but Lin Jian, Liu Ruxue, and Liu Yuemei claimed Lin Ran had accidentally fallen.
With Lin Tianba's behind-the-scenes manipulation, the three weren't even investigated. Wu Zhishang was devastated.
He hated his own helplessness and regretted bringing Lin Ran out that day.
He finally realized that perhaps it would have been better for Lin Ran to remain as the young mistress's caged bird—at least he wouldn't have died.
After grieving, he sought revenge and contacted his cousin, who immediately borrowed men from Brother Dao. Brother Dao generously agreed.
Unfortunately, one of his cousin's lackeys happened to know Lin Jian and sold the information to him for 100,000 yuan.
Lin Jian had the lackey get Wu Zhishang drunk and encouraged him to seek revenge immediately.
Heartbroken and unsuspecting, Wu Zhishang drank and got into a car to storm the Lin Family. Unbeknownst to him, the car had been tampered with.
Drunk and driving, Wu Zhishang crashed, shattering both his legs and leaving him wheelchair-bound for life.
At the time, Lin Ran, as a spirit, desperately tried to stop it, but he could do nothing.
Less than an hour after Wu Zhishang's accident, Luo Yao had already captured the Lin Family.
It was as if fate had arranged it all, always letting the wrong people suffer the consequences.
Wu Zhishang, a brother for life.
In the afternoon, Lin Ran finally left the house after receiving the message.
The capital was incredibly prosperous, but behind its glamour lay hidden gray industries.
A cluster of unfinished buildings might not be as simple as they appeared.
"So you're Lin Ran?"
Wei Xiang was surprised when he saw the car Lin Ran was driving. He hadn't expected his cousin to have such a wealthy classmate.
