I agreed to be a kept man, but I'm still being punished by the system.

The shadows of the trees outside the property management office provide a natural hiding place.

Lin Yang stood there, his outline blurred by the night and the lush foliage, his gaze piercing through the clear glass and landing on the two people inside the office.

One of them was an acquaintance.

The blond-haired guy with dyed yellow hair had completely lost his arrogance from last time and was now sitting upright like a primary school student waiting for a scolding from his teacher.

The other one was a young woman.

A woman with a voluptuous figure wore a dark green, high-slit cheongsam. Her exposed calves were taut and long, gleaming with an ivory-like sheen under the cold incandescent lights of the office.

She is the star of the night.

The elementary school students got into a fight, and when they couldn't win, they finally called their parents.

Lin Yang remained completely unmoved, and even found it somewhat amusing.

The system will pop up automatically.

In their field of vision, lines of dark blue data streams appeared out of thin air, precisely locking onto the top of the woman in the cheongsam's head, quickly constructing a semi-transparent information box.

Name: Liu Shanshan

[Wealth Rating: Platinum Level]

Overall rating: 9.1

[Appearance: 9.3, Figure: 9.0, Charisma: 9.0]

[Tags: glamorous, long legs, extremely ambitious, intelligent, suppressed by family]

At the end of the data stream, a system notification sound, cold and mechanical, rang directly in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[A target matching the system's requirements has been found and has been automatically marked as a strategy target.]

Lin Yang's eye twitched slightly.

"Hey, system, stop messing with me!"

He was internally ranting and raving.

"Qin Xue's situation is still far from settled, and you've already jumped on this bandwagon? Can't you give me a break?!"

The system ignored his protests and simply continued executing its program indifferently.

[The fourth target for romance has been announced]

[Task Name: Receive a Gift from the Fourth Target]

[Mission Target: Liu Shanshan]

[Task objective: Obtain a tangible gift from Liu Shanshan within six months (gifts may include, but are not limited to, money, items, opportunities, etc.).]

[Mission Successful: You have been granted a choice of one of three special items.]

[Mission Failure: Penalty Executed—Host's penis will shorten by 5 centimeters.]

It's that damn punishment again. Can't they change it?

Lin Yang's face darkened as he stared speechlessly at the line of glaring text.

He had figured out some of the tricks of this broken system.

The system automatically marks high-quality, wealthy women under the age of thirty, giving the host no choice whatsoever.

Only those over thirty years old will be allowed to select themselves.

This tactic was so sophisticated that it made him want to curse.

Who else, besides the second or third generation of wealthy families who inherit their family businesses, can accumulate platinum or even higher levels of wealth before the age of thirty?

People like Chen Wanjun, who achieved financial freedom in their early twenties thanks to their extraordinary skills, are extremely rare.

I feel like I've struck gold by meeting her.

Lin Yang's thoughts drifted for a moment before being pulled back to reality.

He re-examined the information about Liu Shanshan on the system panel.

[Extremely ambitious], [Intelligent], [Suppressed by family].

These labels together contain a lot of information.

It seems she's yet another woman caught in the eye of the storm.

Moreover, with an overall score of 9.1, given the nature of this system, anything above 9 is considered top-tier.

A slight smile appeared on Lin Yang's lips, and the calmness in his eyes was replaced by a hint of amusement.

Regardless of their intentions, let's go and meet them first.

He stepped out from the shadows of the trees, straightened his faded old T-shirt and jacket, and strode toward the property management office.

The moment the glass door was pushed open, the middle-aged security guard on duty behind the reception desk immediately looked up. When he saw that it was Lin Yang, his originally wary eyes instantly turned respectful. He simply nodded and then lowered his head again, pretending to be reading a newspaper.

It seems that Manager Wang manages his subordinates very well.

Lin Yang's gaze passed over him and landed directly on the two people on the sofa in the corner of the hall.

He walked over, his footsteps sounding particularly clear in the quiet office.

The blond-haired man and the woman in the cheongsam stood up at the same time.

The blond-haired man forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and extended his hand.

"Mr. Lin, hello, it's quite a story that we became friends after a fight."

He tried his best to make his voice sound sincere.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Lusheng, and my friends in the underworld call me Brother Six."

Lin Yang didn't even look at the outstretched hand. He walked straight to the sofa opposite them, sat down, leaned back, crossed his legs, and adopted a lazy posture.

"What, what do you mean by coming to see me again?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a lazy, oppressive quality.

"Didn't you get enough last time? Want to come back?"

Liu Lusheng's hand froze awkwardly in mid-air, and the smile on his face also froze.

"Mr. Lin is too kind. Of course, I have other important matters to discuss with you this time."

He awkwardly withdrew his hand, trying to maintain the situation.

Lin Yang let out a soft chuckle, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

"Is there something else important to discuss? Why are you, a blond guy, giving me all this formality?"

He paused, then the smile on his lips widened.

"It really proves the old saying: 'A rogue is not scary, but a rogue with culture is scary.'"

These words, like a red-hot iron rod, instantly pierced through Liu Lusheng's carefully constructed facade.

His face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"Lin Yang! That's enough, you fucking bastard!"

His suppressed roar exploded in the office.

"You're asking for it! Watch out, or I'll kill you!"

Lin Yang didn't even lift his eyelids, but simply uttered a few words.

"Oh."

"If you can stand up straight and walk out of this neighborhood, I'll consider you a winner."

His calm tone carried a chilling certainty.

Upon hearing this, Liu Lusheng recalled the black ox's left arm hanging around its neck and felt a chill run down his spine. Had he spoken too harshly?

At that moment, a cold, slightly impatient female voice rang out from the side.

"Liu'er, get out of here, don't get in the way."

It's that beautiful woman in the cheongsam.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess a certain magic.

Upon hearing this rebuke, Liu Lusheng seized the opportunity to back down, his anger instantly extinguished, and he completely deflated.

He glared at Lin Yang with resentment. Although he knew he couldn't beat him, he still had to put on a fierce act before turning around dejectedly, opening the glass door, and going outside to light a cigarette.

The office fell silent instantly.

Lin Yang then turned his gaze to the woman in front of him.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he just leaned back on the sofa, leisurely waiting for the other person to speak first.

Liu Shanshan walked gracefully and sat down on the sofa opposite him. Her stunningly long legs, outlined by her cheongsam, were casually crossed, creating an alluring angle.

She met Lin Yang's gaze, her red lips curving into a smile, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, my name is Liu Shanshan."

Lin Yang's gaze swept over her without any attempt to conceal it.

The 9.1 overall score on the system panel is absolutely accurate.

"Hello, Ms. Liu, my name is Lin Yang."

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he had just learned the other person's name.

A strange light flashed in Liu Shanshan's captivating eyes, but the curve of her red lips remained perfect.

"My brother was quite offensive just now, please don't hold it against him, Mr. Lin."

She adopted a very humble attitude.

Lin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice rose accordingly.

"Is that your younger brother?"

His gaze shifted to the blond figure outside the door, who was irritably smoking, and an exaggerated expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"It doesn't look like it at all."

"You are so beautiful, while your brother... is so damn ugly."

puff.

Liu Shanshan finally couldn't hold back anymore. She covered her mouth with her hand and let out a soft laugh, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Outside the office, Liu Lusheng, who was smoking, had very sharp ears and clearly heard Lin Yang's teasing.

The cigarette butt in his hand was instantly crushed, and he looked like a firecracker that had been lit.

"Lin Yang! You've fucking done this! Believe it or not..."

The roar came through the glass door, sounding somewhat muffled.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Shanshan's clear, cold voice.

"Liu Lusheng, shut up!"

The sounds outside suddenly stopped.

Liu Shanshan suppressed her smile and looked at Lin Yang again, her eyes now filled with a hint of inquiry.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin is quite an interesting person."
