Good Man Operation Guide

“Boiled sliced meat, spicy diced chicken, spicy grilled fish, spicy lobster...”

She had never heard of ciny of these dishes, but she could see the expensive prices of these dishes on the menu.

Expensive!

It was too expensive!

Mother Lin started to look at her son with astonished eyes.

When did he get so rich? Could it really be that he had met the Young Master of the Du Group and soared to great heights?

Lin Shiheng, who had finished ordering a bunch of dishes without changing his expression, politely handed over the menu he was holding, “Yes, that’s all for now. It’s heavy on the spicy stuff. Thank you.”

When the waiter went out, he turned to Mother Lin and smiled, “I wantecl to invite Mother to come and eat with me before, but I didn’t expect to meet you so soon by chance. Earth food is delicious. You should eat more of it.”

“Shiheng, where did you get the money to order so many dishes?” Mother Lin decided to ask the question after thinking for a while. She acted like a doting mother and said, “You’re still young and have to go to pay tuition, so don’t spend money so lavishly. Your father is not your biological father, after all, and I rely on him for my income. I can’t help you if he doesn’t want to pay for your tuition. If you have money, it’s better to save up first.”

These words were, by all accounts, the words of a loving mother. If Lin Shiheng hadn’t known that Mother Lin spent enough money on luxuries every month to buy a small school, he might have believed it.

Lai Wei’s vigilant voice came over the earpiece, “Shiheng, he’s here.”

Lin Shiheng looked at the person in front of him. He had little emotion in his heart but displayed a very touched look on his face, “Mother, in fact, I don’t lack money right now.”

“As you know, the young master of the Du Group and I are friends. I was involved in the research on ancient earth dishes. I also have a part in the establishment of the 311 Group...”

At those words, Mother Lin even held her breath.

Outside the door, Wang Renyi, who had just arrived, also stood in shock.

311!

These days, the entire Blue Star was practically swept up by this company. Everyone knew that 311 had changed history and saved the poor psychics who paid money for those crappy nutrient solutions.

Even a young child who had just entered school knew what huge interest the 311 Group represented.

Now, Lin Shiheng was actually saying that he was a shareholder of the 311 Group?

Lin Shiheng, in the room, seemed to be unaware of Mother Lin’s shocked gaze but continuecl to speak gently, “Actually, this matter had just fallen into place not long ago, but those shares I hold do count for quite a lot. I just don’t know how to manage a company, so I’m merely taking shares.”

“The last licensed auction wasn’t within my authority either. I had to ask someone else to get the invitation, but I didn’t expect to cause any problems for Father.”

When he spoke of this matter, there was still some guilt in his tone. His eyes were full of gentleness when he looked at Mother Lin, “I’ve already asked someone to inquire. I’m afraid Father will really have to go to Star Prison this time; this is not something that money can solve. Mother, I get a steady stream of star coins coming in every day without doing anything now. If you want, I can definitely pay to send you to live near Star Prison and give you money every month. That way, you won’t be too heartbroken.”

“Also, I’ve purchased seven more properties for you in the Central District of the Main Star. You will need to go through the formalities with me. When that’s done, you’ll be able to live a well-off life afterwards, simply from the rent.”

Mother Lin almost thought she was dreaming.

She had never given up her dream of living a prosperous life by relying on a man. She used to plan to rely on her psychic husband, who died young and left two burdensome children behind.

No longer young and with children, she certainly couldn’t find anyone as good as her late husband. She had to settle for the second-best and married her rich but not-so-good-looking current husband.

However, this husband, despite his wealth, was a complete miser and didn’t treat her, his wife, as generously as he did with the women outside.

She simply turned her hopes to her youngest son rather than the first two children she looked down on. Mother Lin doted on her youngest son, hoping that he would provide a good life for her when he grew up.

As a result, before her youngest son grew up, something happened to her husband.

The family became poor all of a sudden. In order not to become poor and live in poverty, she decided to sacrifice her eldest son and youngest daughter.

Unexpectedly. at this moment, her eldest son gave her such a big surprise.

It would be a mistake to think that she might ask for more ransom when she knew her eldest son had money.

Mother Lin, clutching her excited and jumping heart, burst into tears. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Lin Shiheng’s hand on the table, sobbing.

“Don’t do that, Shiheng, don’t send me there. I’ve really suffered enough from Wang Renyi. You don’t know how he treats me. He beats me, scolds me, forces me to ignore you both. You don’t know how happy I was when I knew he was going to Star Prison. No one will ever beat me again.”

The dark-haired young man was obviously frightened by her words. His bewildered hand shrank back, “Mother, is that true? Father treated you badly? I always thought you were well-loved.”

“That’s all fake!!!”

Mother Lin wiped a tear from her eye and cried pitifully, “How could I have survived this long if I didn’t pretend to love him? Shiheng, you’ve achieved something. Now it’s time for you to protect your mother. Please quickly call someone to go and arrest that guy and lock him up in Star Prison for the rest of his life. It would be best if I could get a divorce from him!”

Her soft-spoken eldest son really did believe her quite easily and looked at her with heartfelt concern.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’m your son, and I’ll always be on your side, no matter what.”

“Good, my good son, contact someone now. Hurry up and send him to Star Prison. He’s such a ruthless man. What if he attacks you again this time?”

Mother Lin’s heart was filled with delight. The tears flowed even more strongly on her face, and she looked like a pitiful person who had finally found someone to rely on.

She always had good acting skills. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have held on to her position as Madam Wang for so many years.

In the past, she would use these acting skills on Wang Renyi. But right now, it was better to have a son who was obedient and full of affection for his mother than a husband who would occasionally strike her and would soon go to Star Prison.

In particular, her son was holding shares in 311. If she could rely on him, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.

Mother Lin calculated well and was crying pitifully while urging Lin Shiheng to send Wang Renyi to the Star Prison when an accident occurred.

-Bang!!

The door was kicked in. With bloodshot eyes, an obese middle-aged man came in a rage.

“B*tch!! How dare you betray me!! I’ll kill you!!”

“Ah-“

Mother Lin screamed and quickly hid behind Lin Shiheng, “Shiheng, call the police and have him taken away. Quickly!”

“Okay, Mother. Don’t be afraid, I’ll call the police right away!”

Just as Lin Shiheng tappecl open his chip, Wang Renyi’s chip sounded. He glanced down impatiently in anger, only to see a new email.

[i’ve heard everything about your plans to kidnap Lin Yu. Pay me hush money immediately, or I’ll call the police. I know you won’t believe me, so here’s a recording of the conversation that day.]

The message looked like it was from an online blackmailer. Wang Renyi’s steps toward Mother Lin faltered and his brain, filled with anger and hatred, caused him to click on the recording subconsciously.

The sound that only he could hear rang in his ears. In a sudden flash of brilliance, he selected loudspeaker.

In the blink of an eye, Mother Lin’s sinister voice sounded in the ears of the three people in the room.

—“We can kidnap Lin Yu! Since Lin Shiheng took custody of her, it means that he cares about Lin Yu. Let’s kidnap her and force him to get the money to pay a ransom!”

The young black-haired youth stopped opening his chip and turned to look at his mother, who was hiding behind him, with a face full of disbelief.

Mother Lin was flustered by his look and hastily defended herself, “Shiheng, it’s not what you think. Listen to me...”

“You heard it!”

Wang Renyi, however, didn’t give her a chance to turn the tables and cruelly started to add to the drama.

“Why clo you think she has no feelings for Lin Yu? Why did she appear at the gates of Lin Yu’s school? She wanted to kidnap Lin Yu and approach you for ransom.”

“What she said to you just now was all a lie. This woman is much more vicious and poisonous than I am. Listen to this, she even planned to threaten you by cutting off Lin Yu’s fingers. She even had the idea of killing her after getting the money.”

“No... it’s not like that. He forced me to say it...”

Mother Lin lost all composure. She frantically defended herself, but the audio was still playing.

—“I gave them their lives anyway, and now it’s just a matter of taking it back.”

The audio ended there.

Lin Shiheng’s red eyes looked at Mother Lin with intense sorrow in his gaze, “Is that really what you think, Mother?”

“I worked hard to study ancient earth dishes, got a stake in the 311 Group, and bought so many properties, just to take better care of you and let you buy whatever you wanted.”

“I’ve even thought about it. When things are stable, I would announce my status as a shareholder of the 311 Group and tell everyone that you’re my mother and that I would let you live like a Queen. By then, everyone would envy you.”

“I wholeheartedly wanted to go all out in being filial to you. But in your eyes, Xiao Yu and I, are simply tools that could be discarded at will?”

Mother Lin was captivated by the future Lin Shiheng had described.

It was the life she hacl always dreamecl of.

She married and had children so that she could live like that. Buy whatever she wanted and be envied wherever she went.

To do so, she could sacrifice anyone.

Now, it was at her fingertips, but it was ruined.

Mother Lin explained almost frantically, “That’s not true. The audio was faked! Shiheng, I’m your mother. I love you!”

Wang Renyi watched the scene with a sneer and uttered the truth without mercy, “What love? If it wasn’t for the Minor Protection Council, do you think you would have survived this long? Remember that trip you took when you were 13? She bought you a big insurance deposit to go on that trip, with the idea that you would ‘accidentally’ die. If you hadn’t gotten lucky that time and been saved by your teacher, do you think you would have lived this long?”

Anyway, Lin Shiheng has already called the police. Although it wasn’t a problem for him to beat Mother Lin, it was still a bit difficult for him to take on such a strong young man as Lin Shiheng. Since he couldn’t beat him, he might as well tear open all of Mother Lin’s lies.

She was trying to betray him, right?!

Then he’ll expose her true colors, so she’ll never get what she wants!

Obviously, Wang Renyi’s words worked. The eyes of the dark-haired young man who always admired his mother were full of hurt, and he almost stumbled toward the door.

In her anxiety, Mother Lin reached out to stop him, but he avoided her with disgust.

“Mother... No, you will never be my mother again! I’ll apply to sever our mother-child relationship and Xiao Yu’s.”

“You won’t get a penny of the money we have in our hands!”

“Shiheng! Shiheng!! Shiheng!!!”

Mother Lin almost broke clown as she watched the hope for her future leave.

Wang Renyi grinned triumphantly at her, “See, b*tch, this is what happens when you betray me.”

The woman on the ground suddenly raised her head and stared at him with a deadly stare of hatred.

“You’ve ruined it for me! I’ll kill you!!!”

She stood up and pounced on Wang Renyi like crazy. The obese middle-aged man was caught off guard, and she bit his face viciously. Reacting angrily, he punched her.

Mother Lin’s heart was filled with hatred at the moment; how could she feel the pain? She still threw herself at the man who had ruined the life she had been waiting for.

“Ahhh—“

The man’s roar and screams resonated throughout the room.

Lin Shiheng, who had walkecl out of the room as if he hadn’t heard it, slowly took out his handkerchief and carefully and patiently wiped each and every fingerthat Mother Lin had touched.

When he felt it was clean, he then gently tossed the handkerchief in the trash can.

Walking through the corridor, he entered another private room.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two young men who were munching on chicken legs raised their gazes and their thumbs.

“Full marks for your acting!”

The little robot sitting on the table blinked its big eyes, and a mechanical voice adorably rang out.

“Full marks.”
