Now, however, Lin Ran is planning to sell his shares, which means he is preparing to step away.
But Lin Ran is his own son, and those 30% shares were originally his as the father. In the past, he was able to control the entire company precisely because of this.
Shouldn’t this rebellious son, Lin Ran, unconditionally transfer those shares to his father?
"How could this little brat not tell me about such a major decision?"
Xu Kai: "Chairman Lin, I have already clearly informed you of my client’s decision to sell the shares. If you continue to insult my client, I have the right to sue and hold you accountable for your actions."
Lin Tianba was utterly stunned. He knew that Lin Ran was determined to sell the shares.
If the old-timers found out that Lin Ran was selling his shares, they would definitely fight to acquire them, and then he would no longer be the actual controller of the Suran Group.
Why does this rebellious son, Lin Ran, have the right to sell the shares?
Those shares should rightfully be his, his alone.
What’s worse is that Lin Ran holds 30% of the shares—this is no small stake.
If sold, given the Suran Group’s reputation, it’s highly likely they could be sold at a premium. Even conservatively estimated, they could fetch at least 800 million.
He has no ability to buy them back, even if he emptied the entire Lin family’s coffers.
As for expecting Lin Ran to simply gift them to him, that’s clearly impossible under the current circumstances.
What on earth is this rebellious son trying to do?
Does he have to drive his own father to the grave to be happy?
*Pfft!*
Lin Tianba spat out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Yuemei and Lin Jian were startled and hurried to help the collapsed Lin Tianba.
Liu Yuemei: "You heartless lawyer, can you even afford to compensate if you’ve harmed my husband?"
Xu Kai looked at Liu Yuemei seriously and said, "Madam, you must speak with evidence, or I can sue you for defamation. I’m not joking with you."
Liu Yuemei was also stunned. She didn’t know much about the law, but she was aware of Xu Kai’s capabilities.
After all, it was Xu Kai who had helped Lin Ran handle the 300 million matter. Without him, Lin Ran, that good-for-nothing, would never have been able to achieve such a feat.
With trembling hands, she dialed 120, and soon, Lin Tianba was taken away by an ambulance.
Xu Kai reported the situation to Lin Ran, who naturally had another reason to be happy.
He instructed Xu Kai on the next steps and then prepared to attend the evening auction.
With 300 million in his hands, his own money, he could spend it however he wanted, on whomever he wanted.
This feeling was truly exhilarating.
Nighttime.
The Luo Family Old Mansion, located in a mountain valley on the outskirts of Kyoto.
It wasn’t particularly large, but it was built facing south, nestled against the mountains. Several small streams meandered through the mansion, making it a place of excellent feng shui—truly backed by mountains and surrounded by water.
After centuries of weathering, the old mansion had been continuously renovated and still retained its ancient charm to this day.
A graceful figure appeared at the entrance, and the guards did not stop her.
Walking into the courtyard, it was eerily quiet. The figure didn’t linger and continued inward, slightly raising her head. It was none other than Luo Yao, who was supposedly "on a business trip."
After leaving the company that evening, she had come alone to this place, a journey that took over two hours by car to return to where she had once lived.
She didn’t know how long it would take to settle things here tonight, nor did she know if she would go mad from the bloodshed afterward. That’s why she had lied to Lin Ran, saying she was on a business trip.
Passing by one old building after another, she soon arrived at the main house in the backyard.
"Since you’ve returned, why not come in?"
Luo Yao gently pushed the door open and entered, her eyes scanning the old man inside with a mocking gaze.
The old man sat in a wheelchair, looking up at Luo Yao with an indescribable expression in his eyes.
Faced with Luo Yao’s sudden appearance, Old Master Luo didn’t show much panic.
"What? Can’t even call me ‘Grandpa’ anymore?"
Luo Yao walked step by step toward him, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor like a death knell. It was then that Old Master Luo began to feel a chill run down his spine.
He didn’t know why the aura of this crazy girl had suddenly become so terrifying—it was as if it carried the stench of death.
Luo Yao smiled, a smile that was both radiant and eerie.
Then, in a light, cheerful voice, she spoke.
"Old man, even with your legs broken, you still can’t stay quiet. How does it feel to be in a wheelchair?"
The old man frowned, as if to say, "Don’t you know how my legs got broken?"
"Clearing everyone out during the day and having this place locked down, I knew you’d be back. So, what brings you back this time?"
Luo Yao nodded: "Not bad, you’re not completely senile yet. Actually, it’s nothing major. Your granddaughter has returned tonight to borrow two things from you, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to return them!"
Cold sweat trickled down Old Master Luo’s spine: "What do you want to borrow?"
Luo Yao held up one hand, forming a "V" with two fingers, and pointed them at Old Master Luo.
"Your eyes."
"Since you love spying on people so much, I’ll borrow your eyes. That way, you can keep an eye on me all the time."
Her tone was almost playful, but it sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Old Master Luo looked at her in disbelief.
"You... you unfilial granddaughter."
Luo Yao: "Isn’t this what you wanted from me? Isn’t this what you, the Luo family, shaped me into?"
"Didn’t you say I was the most suitable to be the Luo family’s granddaughter? So why am I unfilial? Look at how well I’ve developed the Luo family!"
"Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. I’ll be very gentle and slow as I pluck out your eyeballs to give to my Ah Ran as glass marbles to play with!"
As she spoke, a cold glint appeared in Luo Yao’s hand.
Old Master Luo was furious: "Is that man so important to you? Important enough to make you harm your own grandfather?"
Luo Yao looked at Old Master Luo’s furious expression and sneered.
"You look like a dog barking helplessly!"
As she spoke, her footsteps didn’t stop.
Anyone who dared to target Ah Ran, no matter who they were, would not be spared.
When she was just a few steps away from Old Master Luo, a side wall suddenly opened, and several people jumped out. The leader was a man with a sinister, delicate appearance.
The man was named Lang Ya, Old Master Luo’s trusted aide.
The last time Luo Yao had broken Old Master Luo’s legs, Lang Ya had been away on a mission and hadn’t been able to stop her.
His feelings toward Luo Yao were complex—a mix of hatred, admiration, fear, and resentment.
Of course, there was also a strong desire.
He wanted Luo Yao to become his woman. Possessing a woman like Luo Yao would be the ultimate achievement.
The way he looked at Luo Yao was full of aggression, devoid of love, purely driven by possessiveness.
Especially in recent years, this desire had consumed his thoughts constantly. He was going mad, wanting to lock Luo Yao away and ravage her, even devour her.
