: Caught in the Act of Adultery! Brother, from now on I'm your father!

Underground parking lot of Building B, Convention and Exhibition Center.

The taxi tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground.

The driver pulled the handbrake and turned to look at Zhou Ran, whose eyes were bloodshot.

"Young man, catching someone in adultery is fine, but don't let it lead to a death!"

Zhou Ran ignored him, his gaze fixed on the imposing black box not far away.

Mercedes-Benz G63, license plate ending in 888.

Zhao Tao's car.

The enormous vehicle was swaying merrily at that moment.

He hid behind a load-bearing pillar, took out his phone, and handed it to the driver.

"Master, please do me a favor and get the shot right."

He wants to ruin the reputations of that adulterous couple!

The car windows were tinted with dark film, but two overlapping figures could be seen through the windshield.

The sounds coming from inside the car were intermittent, yet they were like sharp knives stabbing into his heart.

"Brother Tao... slow down..."

Zhao Tao's smug laughter followed closely behind, full of boastfulness and disdain.

"Honey, I'm so worried!"

I introduced my adoptive mother to Zhou Ran so that I could keep an eye on his schedule.

"Right now, he's probably finished teaching that old woman how to squat, and he's getting ready to pick you up from get off work like a dog!"

You're so bad...

Su Xiaoxiao gave a coquettish laugh.

"What if he finds out?"

"he?"

Zhao Tao's tone was full of mockery.

"That stupid dog's brain has been taken over by muscles!"

"From your voice message just now, where you were panting so much, he probably thought you were running."

Su Xiaoxiao let out a soft, bell-like laugh, then her voice turned disgusted.

"That's true, Brother Tao, hold on a minute. That broken bracelet Zhou Ran gave me is really hurting me..."

Su Xiaoxiao's laughter was tinged with disdain, and the car window suddenly rolled down a crack.

A fair hand reached out, and on her wrist was the Pandora bracelet that Zhou Ran had saved up for a month to buy for her.

The next second, the bracelet traced an arc and made a crisp, yet desperate, sound on the ground.

boom!

Muscles have completely taken over the high ground of intelligence.

Zhou Ran rushed out from behind the pillar, opened the car door, and pulled Zhao Tao, who was still groaning, out!

"what!"

Su Xiaoxiao screamed and hurriedly pulled up her skirt to cover her body.

"Zhou Ran?!"

Zhao Tao was pulled down onto the cement ground. After seeing who it was, his face was full of panic.

"Brother, let me explain..."

Zhou Ran remained silent.

The explosive power honed through years of fitness training was unleashed in this moment.

A powerful straight punch landed squarely on Zhao Tao's face!

boom!

Zhao Tao's nose collapsed, and blood gushed out.

"Hold!"

The excruciating pain enraged Zhao Tao, who roared and pounced on the attack like a mad dog.

The two instantly began to wrestle.

But how could Zhao Tao, who had been drained by wine and women, be a match for Zhou Ran?

He straddled Zhao Tao, his fists raining down like raindrops, each punch carrying a devastating rage.

I consider you a brother!

boom!

"You fucking slept with my woman!"

boom!

"You used your own mother to scheme against me!"

boom!

Zhao Tao was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back. He could only protect his head, but he still tried to be defiant.

"Yes! I slept with her! I've already used Su Xiaoxiao to death! You're just a stupid idiot who took advantage of her!"

"If it weren't for my mom helping you out, you wouldn't even be able to afford protein powder!"

"You piece of trash! You poor bastard!"

These words completely ignited Zhou Ran's murderous intent.

Su Xiaoxiao also realized what was happening and rushed forward to protect Zhao Tao, screaming.

"If you hit me again, I'll call the police!"

"roll!"

Without turning his head, Zhou Ran swung his hand, and Su Xiaoxiao fell to the ground.

She looked at Zhou Ran, who resembled a demon god, and for the first time, fear appeared in her eyes, but she still continued to be unreasonable and domineering.

"Zhou Ran, I'm warning you! Apologize to Brother Tao right now!"

Otherwise, we're completely finished!

Aunt Chen will absolutely not give you another lesson!

Apologize?

Continue the course?

Everything I did before was for you!

Zhou Ran stopped.

He slowly stood up and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao on the ground, at her face that he had loved for three years.

At this moment, all that remains is nausea.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw him stop, she thought he was scared. After a moment of fear, a smug smirk appeared on her lips.

next second.

Snapped!

A loud slap landed hard on her face!

Su Xiaoxiao was completely stunned by the slap, and five finger marks appeared on her fair cheek.

"You...you dare hit me?"

Snapped!

Zhou Ran slapped him again with his backhand!

"Bitch."

Zhou Ran turned around, not looking at the adulterous couple again, and rushed out of the underground parking lot without looking back.

He was afraid that if he stayed here, he would really beat the two adulterers to death.

The river wind was icy cold, blowing against his burning face, but it couldn't dispel the overwhelming hatred in his heart.

A taxi pulled up beside him; it was the same driver from before.

The driver rolled down the window, handed him his phone, lit a cigarette for him, and then slowly drove away.

Zhou Ran looked up at the dark river.

Chen Ya's mature and charming figure uncontrollably appeared in his mind.

"If you've figured it out, come find me anytime to check the goods..."

Zhou Ran took a deep drag on his cigarette and flicked it into the river.

Oh shit.

It's done!

Aren't you, Zhao Tao, supposed to be awesome?

Aren't you using your mother as a pawn in your schemes against me?

If you do the first thing, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth!

He took out his phone, found the number saved as "Aunt Chen," and dialed it.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Hey, Zhou? You've figured it out so quickly?"

Chen Ya's lazy yet playful voice came through.

Zhou Ran looked at the ceaselessly flowing river at his feet, his gaze cold and resolute.

"Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore."

……

Half an hour later.

Zhou Ran stood in front of the most luxurious river-view penthouse in the city center.

The door opened.

Chen Ya, dressed in a luxurious black silk nightgown, leaned against the door frame, exuding charm.

Her gaze swept over Zhou Ran, landing on the wound at the corner of his mouth and the bloodstains on the back of his hand.

Instead of reproach, his eyes flashed with admiration.

"Oh, you've got guts, haven't you? You didn't kill my good-for-nothing son, did you?"

Zhou Ran looked at her and smiled.

It turns out she already knew.

He even wished he could teach Zhao Tao a lesson himself.

She had calculated that only by witnessing it firsthand would she completely sever her feelings for Su Xiaoxiao.

He stepped forward, reached out and embraced Chen Ya's slender waist, pulling her into his arms and whispering in her ear.

"Honey, what are you saying? That's our son. I'm just disciplining him on your behalf."

Chen Ya's body stiffened at first, then she burst into laughter, her whole body going limp in Zhou Ran's arms.

She leaned close to Zhou Ran's ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Good, he truly is the man I've set my sights on."

"As long as you keep your sister happy, from now on, Zhao Tao will have to respectfully call you 'Dad' whenever he sees you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran felt an intense sense of vengeful pleasure.

But what followed was a complex mix of emotions about "giving up on oneself".

He sat motionless on the sofa, without saying a word.

Chen Ya was incredibly astute; she immediately noticed his discomfort.

Instead of immediately inspecting the goods, she took out an exquisite wooden box from the safe.

Inside was an antique-style, dark-colored ring, engraved with intricate cloud patterns.

"This is an heirloom of my Chen family, and it was also part of my dowry."

Then, Chen Ya breathed a seductive breath into his ear.

"Little man, don't be nervous. I'll go take a shower first and give you some time to prepare yourself."

She swayed her hips as she walked into the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water could be heard.

Zhou Ran sat alone in the living room, her heart pounding, and unconsciously reached for the ring.

He understood that Chen Ya was giving him one last chance to back out.

Once you accept this priceless "token of love," there's truly no turning back.

But he didn't notice that a small cut on his knuckle from Zhao Tao's necklace during the fight hadn't fully healed yet.

A drop of blood silently seeped into the ring.

hum-

The ring shattered inch by inch on his fingertip, turning into a dark light that pierced into his brow!

"Hahaha! I, the Emperor, have seen the light of day again!"

An old, arrogant voice exploded in Zhou Ran's mind like a thunderclap.

"Hmm? This body is acceptable; I'll make do with it!"
