The facts proved that President Lu was only a pathetic weakling who let himself be hit and scolded when facing Shen Ranxin. At all other times, he did Alpha men proud.

For example, now. The man had only taken one punch from Lu Zhi, yet his entire face had swollen badly. Thick blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, accompanied not only by a knocked-out front tooth, but several molars that slowly slid out with the blood.

The intense pain left him unable to react for a moment. He only managed to suck in a sharp breath before Lu Zhi grabbed his collar and hauled him up again.

The tall Alpha was overwhelmingly imposing, and his surging aggressive pheromones nearly made the man forget his pain.

"Ah, sorry. I hit a little too hard. More than one tooth fell out." Lu Zhi spoke in a flippant tone. "It's fine. Luckily, I'm rich. Three hundred thousand per tooth—I can afford it."

Shen Ranxin stared wide-eyed at Lu Zhi, who looked even more like a "murderer" than he did at that moment.

Ah... no... this guy didn't look like he was acting. Had he really never killed anyone before?

"One tooth is worth three hundred thousand. So how much is your life worth?" Lu Zhi lowered his gaze, his eyes dark and vicious as he looked at the man. "I have a lot of money. What about you? How many lives do you have?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man was scared out of his wits. Yellow liquid dripped from the legs of his blue-and-white striped pants.

Lu Zhi frowned and let him go, narrowly avoiding getting any disgusting filth on himself.

"Ah." Standing behind Shen Ranxin, Lu Zhi said softly, "He peed without even taking off his pants. How crude. Forget it, even if this kind gets treated, he'll still drool. Ranran, let's go. It stinks here."

Shen Ranxin nodded with an indescribable expression and turned to the middle-aged man standing by the bed. "Um... Director Chen, we'll head back first. We can discuss compensation after he calms down a little."

Director Chen was clearly stunned as well. Fortunately, there were no cameras here. If this had aired, Lu Zhi probably wouldn't have escaped a lawsuit.

Though such a lawsuit might not have meant much to the Lu family's heir.

Only after Lu Zhi and Shen Ranxin left did Director Chen remember to comfort the staff member who had been frightened into wetting his pants. "About this matter, we..."

Just as he was about to offer compensation, the man frantically waved his hands. The corner of his mouth had split open, blood dripping down in a horrifying stream as he shouted through slurred speech, "No! No! I don't want it anymore! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It was my fault. I don't want compensation from you anymore. I won't go around talking nonsense. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I-I'll return the six hundred thousand to you right now. I don't dare anymore, I'll never dare again! Please, please let me go!"

Director Chen: "..."

Of all people, why did he have to provoke Lu Zhi?

Who didn't know President Lu was insane?

A madman wasn't scary.

What was scary was a madman with money, power, and issues.

In the end, the production team used the six hundred thousand Lu Zhi had transferred to cover all his medical expenses and left him one hundred thousand as emotional damages. The rest was transferred back to Lu Zhi's account through the original channel.

This was probably the first time in his life that he had tried extortion, and likely the last.

Shen Ranxin leaned against a pillar outside the hospital, lowering his head as he tapped on his phone. He had originally planned to transfer the six hundred thousand to Lu Zhi.

Even though he could not remember at all how he had scared the man badly enough to knock out one of his front teeth.

Ever since he had transmigrated, his memory seemed to have become comparable to that of someone with Alzheimer's. He forgot things every now and then, and no matter how hard he tried afterward, he could not remember them.

Could there be something wrong with this body?

It looked like he would still have to go to the hospital for a physical examination in a few days.

That damned system had seemed scrapped ever since it signed the contract with him. If he had not seen that contract on the bedside table when he woke up, he would have thought the system did not exist at all.

As he pondered this, he opened his bank balance.

The balance showed that there were still two hundred thousand in the account.

"..."

Shen Ranxin closed his eyes, finding it a little hard to face this fucked-up life.

He stuffed his phone back into his pocket and mumbled, "I'll pay you back after the dating show ends."

By the time the dating show ended, the plot would be over too. Once he had his hundred-billion prize money, would he still care about a measly six hundred thousand?

As for how he would fake his death and escape beneath Lu Zhi's nose with that hundred-billion prize money, he could figure that out later.

To his surprise, after he said that, Lu Zhi turned to look at him with a smile at the corner of his lips. "Baby, you're going to make me regret this."

Shen Ranxin raised a brow. "Regret what?"

"I should've transferred him six hundred million just now." Lu Zhi clicked his tongue. "But there seems to be a transfer limit for six hundred million. I'll go back and transfer him six million instead."

Unable to endure it any longer, Shen Ranxin said, "Keep those six million to get your brain treated. If you have so much money you don't know where to spend it, give it to me."

Lu Zhi paused, then asked, "You don't have money?"

Right. He was no longer the Shen family's young master.

During these five years, who knew what Cheng Cheng had done to him? His memories seemed to have been completely altered. Perhaps he had entirely forgotten his identity.

Shen Ranxin irritably scratched at his brow. "Obviously. If I had money, would I come to this idiotic show just to suffer?"

Lu Zhi nodded, preparing to shower his lover with money. "...I seem to remember bringing a black card in my suitcase. I'll look for it when I get back and give it to you."

Shen Ranxin gave a derisive laugh. "The kind of black card with tens of millions in it?"

"No." Lu Zhi tilted his head. "To be precise, I'm not sure exactly how much money is on it. That black card can be used at every company and mall under the Lu Group. Considering the Lu Group's current range of industries, it should have your food, clothing, housing, and transportation covered."

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Seriously, he was going to fight these damned rich second-generation heirs!

When Lu Zhi returned to the villa, he indeed turned his suitcase upside down before finally digging out a black card and casually handing it to Shen Ranxin. "Here."

Shen Ranxin used the greatest willpower of his life to refuse the black card held out to him. "I don't want it!"

After thinking about it, Lu Zhi casually tossed the card back into the suitcase. "All right."

From the moment they had reunited, he had already decided that he would never let Shen Ranxin disappear from his sight, not even for a second.

Whether Shen Ranxin wanted it or not did not really matter. He would always have Shen Ranxin's back.

Whatever Shen Ranxin wanted, he would buy it for him.

As far as Lu Zhi was concerned, anything that could be solved with money was a trivial matter.

If it came down to it, even selling off the entire Lu Group just to make Shen Ranxin happy would be worth it to him.

At that moment, in the Lu Group's office building far away on Capital Star, Father Lu, who was sitting on the sofa overlooking the entire Capital Star, felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.

The assistant beside him picked up a blanket and gently draped it over him. "President Lu, Young President Lu has already arranged the company's affairs. There really is no need for you to come in every day."

The man sitting on the sofa gave a comfortable snort. "What do you know! I come every day to admire the empire my son built for me!"

The assistant let out an ah before saying, "Young President Lu has gone to participate in a dating show. He has already spent tens of millions investing in it just to pursue that young master. Are you really at ease leaving the Lu Group to him? He has indeed made the Lu Group flourish and rise to another level these past years, but after all... he wasn't born with the surname Lu."

The white-haired old man snorted. "Back then, we were not at fault. Lu Zhi was not at fault, and that young master of the Shen family was not at fault either. It was Shen Ziqing who committed the sin. Lu Zhi is actually a very good child. You all think he is calculating, but I think he is more pure than anyone else. He knows very clearly what he truly wants."

The assistant stood behind the old man and did not speak again.
