Tongzhou City, Fibi Bar.
In a dim corner of the bar, a man and a woman sat in a booth, chatting and laughing.
Su Rui held a wine glass, smiling with his brows and eyes. "Let me tell you a secret. Actually..."
"I've already been reborn countless times."
"Reborn?" The woman was breathtakingly beautiful. Under the chaotic flashing lights, her clear black-and-white eyes carried an icy chill that kept others at a distance. Her facial features seemed sculpted, her skin fair and tender enough to break at a touch. A proud air known as "heroic spirit" lingered between her brows, while her red lips were bright and full.
Like a rose rooted atop an iceberg, she made most men feel ashamed of themselves after just one glance.
She raised her wine glass, took a light sip, then shook her head with a smile.
Over the years, she had no idea how many people had tried to approach her through all kinds of bizarre methods.
None of them had ended well.
"Whenever my twenty-fifth birthday arrives, I'm reborn back to when I was eighteen. Even if I die, I come back to life on that day. I can't escape this cycle."
"Over countless rebirths, I kept changing identities and learned every secret. I've held every profession, studied every skill, and reached the peak through endless cycles."
"I'm omniscient. If I want to be, I can also become omnipotent."
Silence.
Dead silence.
Other than the wild music still blaring from the dance floor, the expression on the woman sitting across from Su Rui became slightly strange.
"Heh...!" At last, the woman laughed first. Her eyes were alluring, though they held a trace of scrutiny. "Little brother, making up bizarre stories to attract attention and make girls interested in you might work on others, but it won't work on me."
"As expected of Mingzhu Company's ceo, you're not easy to fool." Su Rui still wore a smile. "But everything I said is true."
"Li Ruobing, a native of Tongzhou City, born February 18, 1987. Height: 172 centimeters. Weight: 52 kilograms. Blood type: O. Interests: rap music and fitness. You studied market management at the University of Pennsylvania. After returning home, you founded your own luxury brand. Your net worth currently exceeds one billion, and you're hailed as the youngest business genius—a beautiful businesswoman!"
"Your father, Li Guodong, is the chairman of Wanteng Group. Your family situation is complicated. It's a blended family, and you have a younger brother from the same father but a different mother. However, you and your stepmother have never gotten along."
"Of course, none of that is really secret. Anyone who pays attention to you can obtain that information. But what I'm about to say next may involve your privacy..."
Su Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and said seriously, "Are you sure you want me to continue?"
Li Ruobing swirled the wine glass in her hand with interest. Her eyes were slightly intoxicated, yet her aura remained overwhelming. "I'd like to hear what else you know."
"I also know that tonight, you'll take the initiative to leave with me. You won't go home."
"Leave with you? You mean we'll become a couple tonight?"
"No, just a purely physical relationship. Recently, I've really liked your type—the Ice Beauty type. It makes people want to conquer you! Besides, dating is too troublesome, isn't it?"
A frosty glint flashed through Li Ruobing's eyes. Yes, dating was too troublesome...
As a female business executive who had started from nothing and built a company worth over one billion, she naturally had ruthless methods. If Su Rui were merely flirting with her, she wouldn't mind using some means to throw him into a gutter and feed him to the fish.
Tonight, she had originally only wanted to drink alone and unwind without drawing attention. Su Rui had unexpectedly come over to strike up a conversation. That was common in a bar. Since she was in a bad mood, and Su Rui was reasonably handsome, she had chatted with him for a while.
She had never expected Su Rui to be a lunatic. After a few drinks, he started spouting nonsense, claiming that he had been reborn a billion times...
And most importantly, he seemed extremely familiar with her personal information.
Heh, a guy with ulterior motives...
"If your looks weren't passable, you'd already be lying on the floor after saying that." Li Ruobing's tone was icy. Dangerous cold light flickered in her beautiful eyes. Even with a faint flush of drunkenness coloring her cheeks, her aura was still intense. "Continue!"
"Your favorite color is black, because it represents your personality—cold, glamorous, and proud."
"Your favorite way to vent is target shooting, and the gun you use best is the American Glock!"
"Your measurements are 93, 64, 92. The underwear you're wearing today is Golanh Queen, the lace model."
"But that size doesn't suit you very well. You should be feeling a little... tight right now."
After Su Rui finished speaking, he wore an inexplicable smile, as though waiting for Li Mu's reaction.
Li Ruobing calmly fastened a button on her shirt and stared at Su Rui with an extremely ice-cold gaze. Her voice was so cold it seemed ready to freeze. "You... peeped on me? Do you want to die?"
"Don't always be so violent. I told you, I'm someone who has been reborn a billion times." Su Rui chuckled by her ear. "In my twenty-three-thousand, eight-hundred-and-twenty-first life, I chose to thoroughly investigate your preferences. I learned all your interests and hobbies, as well as your views on life and career, and became your most considerate boyfriend. You personally told me every one of those secrets."
Li Ruobing stared into Su Rui's eyes, trying to find even the slightest flaw or hesitation in his expression.
Under her aura, few people could remain calm.
But today, she had miscalculated.
Su Rui still wore that lazy expression. He took a sip of red wine, smiling at the corner of his mouth.
"Is that so? Then let's find somewhere else, and you can tell me about the story of how we dated..." Li Ruobing did not believe Su Rui at all, and her tone was frighteningly cold.
"Don't be in such a hurry." Su Rui rested both arms on the table, raised a glass, and smiled. "We still have plenty to do tonight."
"Tomorrow is my twenty-fifth birthday. Everything will reset. Let's indulge ourselves one last time and leave behind an unforgettable memory." Su Rui licked his lips, staring at Li Mu's face as he asked, "Tell me, what wishes have you usually buried deep inside—wishes that are almost impossible to realize? Tonight, I'll make every single one come true for you!"
"You're pretty damn good at making up stories..."
Someone at the booth beside them sneered.
"Come here, beautiful. I'll tell you my story too!"
Several tall, burly young men surrounded a young man in a gray jacket seated in the center.
The young man's expression was extremely gloomy. His face was sickly pale and sinister.
"That's Lin Tianyou, the Second Young Master of Lin Group, isn't it..." Li Ruobing recognized the leading young man. "I heard he's an extremely reckless man... just one who doesn't know his place."
"It's fine. I'll gouge out his eyes and offer them to you as an apology!" Su Rui chuckled. Over countless cycles, he had spent the final night in this bar several times. The same thing happened every time: Lin Tianyou appeared right on schedule and set his sights on Li Ruobing.
He had watched coldly before, and he had also used all kinds of violent or sinister methods to interfere.
Either way, everything would reset tomorrow. The same thing would still happen in the next cycle.
There was no point...
So Su Rui did things entirely according to his own preferences.
Sleep beautiful women, drive luxury cars, beat up wealthy heirs.
As long as he enjoyed himself, that was enough. As for everyone else... no matter who they were, they were no different from ants in Su Rui's eyes.
Footsteps sounded.
One of the burly young men who had been gathered around Lin Tianyou walked over and expressionlessly patted Li Ruobing on the shoulder.
"Beautiful, CEO Lin invites you over. Do us the honor of having a drink with him."
The burly young man smiled coldly, completely ignoring Su Rui beside Li Mu. In Tongzhou City, no one dared compete with Young Master Lin for a woman he had set his eyes on.
Lin Tianyou's reputation was terrible. A Rich Second Generation who abused his wealth and power—that was the label the people of Tongzhou City had given him.
Involvement with organized crime, drug use, violent extortion—he perfectly fit the profile of an absolute scumbag.
Li Ruobing gave him an indifferent glance, then smiled and leaned directly against Su Rui's shoulder. "But what if my boyfriend... doesn't agree?"
This woman was always so cunning... At times she was an Ice Beauty, and at others a fickle fox demon. With just one movement, she redirected the firepower onto Su Rui.
Su Rui smiled helplessly, but that was exactly why he liked Li Ruobing even more. Otherwise, he would not have had relationships with her that went beyond friendship over a hundred times across countless cycles.
"Our CEO Lin has spoken..." Hearing this, the burly young man directly blocked the passage out of the booth. He grabbed Su Rui by the collar and raised his brows. "Let your girlfriend go have a drink. So, are you going to give us that respect or not?"
However, before he could finish, a piercing sound of wind tearing through the air rang out.
Bang!
The explosive impact drowned out even the deafening music from the dance floor, startling everyone.
The burly young man was already clutching his head on the ground, blood spurting from the top of it.
Su Rui stood up with a half-shattered red wine bottle in his hand. He licked his lips expressionlessly. He had moved too fast for the other man to react.
"What right does a second-generation profligate have to demand respect from me?"
Su Rui attacked directly, landing a headshot in a single blow.
Smashing someone with a wine bottle was actually very different from the movies. Wine bottles were far sturdier than people imagined. A blow strong enough to shatter one against a person's head was enough to be fatal.
Scenes where someone got smashed over the head with a bottle, then sprang up full of energy to fight another three hundred rounds, were basically impossible.
More importantly, red wine bottles were harder than beer bottles.
The moment Su Rui made his move, he had intended to kill.
Su Rui's expression did not change in the slightest, as though this meant absolutely nothing to him.
He did not care about killing. He could not even remember how much blood had stained his hands over countless cycles. He had created Terrorist Attacks and become a butcher without a bottom line. He had also joined special forces Military Camps and wreaked havoc across brutal foreign battlefields.
When everything could be redone, life truly was not something precious to Su Rui.
Whether it was his own or someone else's.
"Boye is down! Help him!"
Lin Tianyou, who had been leaning against the sofa, frowned. The lackeys gathered around him froze.
"You dare lay hands on the Lin family?"
Several of Lin Tianyou's lackeys pushed through the crowd and rushed over with howls.
"What I said earlier proved my omniscience. Now, let me show you how I'm omnipotent." Su Rui smiled and tossed aside the broken wine bottle. "I forgot to tell you—in one of my past lives, I was also a King of Soldiers."
Within the cycles, memories did not disappear, physical damage was repaired, and combat ability and physical fitness stacked on top of one another. Time had shaped Su Rui into an incomparably terrifying monster.
"Get him!"
Several equally burly young men charged over, trying to gang up on him. Su Rui sneered and kicked out.
Pfft!
One young man flew backward even faster than before. His chest caved in at a visible angle, and several of his ribs had clearly snapped.
Lin Tianyou's lackeys had obviously been trained. They might have come from professional bodyguard companies and were probably among the best.
But unfortunately for them, they had encountered a humanoid beast.
Three seconds.
Su Rui had needed only three seconds.
Six well-built lackeys were already lying on the ground, their limbs twisted. Not one of them could get back up.
Before you continue
