Lin Ran narrowed his eyes. If he wasn’t mistaken, this man was the traitor from his previous life—the one who had sold information to Lin Jian.
Zhang Dahai knew how formidable Wei Xiang could be. Though Wei Xiang usually seed easygoing, when he was truly angry, he could be ruthless.
Zhang Dahai also knew that Wei Xiang’s weakness was his sense of loyalty and righteousness, so he quickly began to cry and plead.
“Brother Xiang, I was wrong! My wife is lying in the hospital, and my son has disappeared, leaving us with nothing. I had no choice but to take a risk and make so quick money to pay for her dical bills. My daughter just started university, and I still haven’t scraped together her tuition. Please, spare this ti. I know selling this stuff in your place is against the rules, but I was desperate! Wuwuwu…”
Wei Xiang was montarily stunned. He had to admit, Zhang Dahai’s story was convincing.
But Brother Dao, a seasoned veteran, saw right through the man.
“Xiang, rules are rules. I don’t want to repeat myself. Keeping soone like this under you will only bring you trouble.”
Wei Xiang pursed his lips, unsure if he should plead for leniency.
Lin Ran observed the scene and realized that Wei Xiang might not be cut out for this life. Brother Dao wasn’t wrong.
As it turned out, Zhang Dahai did indeed beco a traitor in the end.
Lin Ran thought of Wu Zhishang’s fate in his previous life, and a sudden surge of anger welled up inside him, though he forced it down.
Lin Ran glanced around, picked up a wooden stick, and silently handed it to Brother Dao. Brother Dao was montarily surprised but then smiled and took it. He walked over and handed the stick to Wei Xiang.
“Xiang, do it.”
Wei Xiang closed his eyes, then opened them again, a fierce glint in his gaze. He grabbed the stick and swung it hard at Zhang Dahai’s legs, shouting, “How many tis have I told you not to sell this crap? You think my words are just wind in your ears, huh?”
Zhang Dahai’s screams echoed throughout the gambling den, but no one showed any sympathy.
Zhang Dahai was a man who indulged in all sorts of vices—gambling, drinking, womanizing, and even drugs. He had the audacity to sell drugs in Brother Dao’s territory. If he got beaten to death, it would be no less than he deserved.
Wei Xiang broke both of Zhang Dahai’s legs, and the man passed out from the pain. Wei Xiang waved his hand, signaling for soone to carry him out.
Brother Dao patted Lin Ran’s shoulder. “Sorry you had to see that, brother.”
Lin Ran thought to himself that this was karma. In this life, it was Zhang Dahai who ended up with broken legs.
But why had Zhang Dahai been caught by Brother Dao at this exact mont? Was it a ripple effect of Lin Ran’s presence here?
In his previous life, Lin Ran hadn’t been here at this ti, and Zhang Dahai’s legs had remained intact.
For the first ti, Lin Ran began to ponder the strange workings of fate.
He shook his head. “He broke your rules. He got what he deserved.”
Brother Dao looked at Lin Ran with surprise. Once again, he was convinced that Lin Ran was no ordinary man. No wonder Boss Luo had taken a liking to him.
Brother Dao nodded in approval, then addressed the guests in the gambling den. “Ladies and gentlen, my apologies for the disturbance. Each of you will receive ten chips to settle your nerves. But let remind you again—drugs are not allowed in my establishnt. If anyone is caught, they won’t be shown any rcy.”
The gamblers didn’t care about Zhang Dahai’s fate. They were all too happy to accept the free chips and eagerly agreed with Brother Dao.
When Brother Dao returned to Lin Ran’s side after handling the situation, Lin Ran said sothing that nearly made him lose his composure.
Lin Ran: “What’s on the first floor? Shall we take a look?”
Brother Dao felt a chill run down his spine. He shook his head. “The first floor isn’t open for business yet. I’ll take you there another ti.”
He didn’t dare bring Lin Ran to the first floor. If Lin Ran made a mistake there, it would be the end for him too.
Lin Ran was purely curious. Since Brother Dao didn’t want to take him up, he didn’t push the matter and decided to leave.
Despite Brother Dao’s enthusiastic invitation to have dinner together that evening, Lin Ran made an excuse and left.
After leaving the underground entertainnt city, Lin Ran drove back to the estate. He wanted to get ho before Luo Yao so that she would see him as soon as she returned.
On the way, he called Xu Kai and told him to start the operation.
When he arrived at the estate and slowly opened the door, he found Luo Yao sitting coldly on the sofa.
“You’re back early today?”
Instead of answering Lin Ran’s question, Luo Yao coldly asked, “What did you do today?”
Lin Ran was montarily taken aback, wondering how to respond.
He didn’t want to worry Luo Yao, but he also didn’t want to lie to her.
“I went to take care of so business.”
Luo Yao narrowed her eyes. She already knew what Lin Ran had done that afternoon and had a good idea of his next move.
Brother Dao had just reported the day’s events to Luo Yao, and she had coldly told him, “Don’t take Lin Ran to such places again.”
Brother Dao was inwardly frustrated. Lin Ran had co to him on his own!
But what could he do? He didn’t dare argue and could only ekly agree.
Luo Yao: “Tell the truth.”
Lin Ran: “Alright! I’m planning to deal with Liu Ruxue and the Lin family. That’s what I was doing today.”
Luo Yao: “Are you really willing to go that far?”
Lin Ran: “Darling, I am more than willing. I want them to suffer and die without a proper burial.”
Luo Yao’s eyes were deep as she stared at Lin Ran for a long ti before finally speaking.
“If you need help, you must tell .”
Lin Ran nodded. For now, he didn’t want Luo Yao’s help. He preferred to handle his revenge personally.
“If I run into sothing I can’t handle, I’ll definitely co to you to clean up the ss. After all, you’re the one who’s willing to take care of . If you’re going to take care of , you’ll have to clean up my sses too.”
“Ahem!” Uncle Fu coughed lightly. “Young Master Lin, do you realize what you’re saying?”
Luo Yao relaxed her stern deanor and walked over to Lin Ran.
“It’s good that you think that way. With my resources, I can turn you into the most notorious playboy in the world.”
Uncle Fu thought to himself, “Miss, are you really this lovesick?”
During the cozy dinner, Luo Yao kept glancing at Lin Ran as he fed her.
Lin Ran, recalling the ti Luo Yao had fed him a sip of wine, still felt a lingering sense of dread.
Thankfully, the feeding went smoothly, and Lin Ran enjoyed his al as well.
After dinner, Luo Yao walked behind Lin Ran and wrapped her arms around his neck from both sides, like a seductive enchantress.
The familiar gesture made Lin Ran stiffen.
Luo Yao leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Aran, co with .”
Lin Ran let out a sigh of relief, but then his face filled with confusion as he followed Luo Yao to the bedroom. What he saw there left him frozen in shock.
What on earth was all that on the bed?
Wait, did she really prepare seven different colors of those things?
And what was that? A dog leash?
Lin Ran shuddered. He couldn’t imagine how embarrassing it would be to have all those things used on him.
He turned his stiff neck to look at Luo Yao. “Darling, I didn’t do anything wrong today, did I?”
Luo Yao blinked innocently. “No, of course not! I prepared all of this for you, Aran.”
“If you like these things, then I’ll buy them all. Don’t you like them?”
Lin Ran forced a smile. “Heh… heh! I! Love! Them!”
