Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 152

Li Ziyu knew the matter behind this was not as simple as it seemed. Particularly concerning Xiao Chen, why he targeted Li Ziyen surely had its reasons, likely involving Su Lin. But what of it now? The problem is Li Ziyen is dead, and the one who acted is her fiancé, to whom she is betrothed.

The willingness to act is no longer important.

The important thing is he killed his own brother. For this reason alone, if she doesn’t resolve it quickly, she will soon be ousted from the core circle, no matter how outstanding she is.

There’s an unwritten rule in big families about fighting for power and profit; at least, you cannot openly kill your own kin.

Otherwise, how can everyone continue playing this game? Xiao Chen having someone kill Li Ziyen was committing a taboo.

As for Su Lin, whatever his purpose, it will gradually reveal itself. Li Ziyu is not in a hurry. Exiting the resting room, she immediately picked up the phone to call home, asking for quick arrangements.

Meanwhile, Su Lin was eagerly anticipating Xiao Chen’s performance today: “Now that Xiao Chen, both the assassin group and the Li family will trouble you. You’re about to lose both your assassin wife and your legitimate wife, tsk tsk… I almost feel bad for bullying you further.”

When Luo Sihai returned to the resting room, he saw the check on the table. “Boss, did you get the money?”

Su Lin nodded: “Every penny retrieved, and with this money, you can properly manage your company now.”

“The money you retrieved, I shouldn’t take it.” Luo Sihai knew if not for Su Lin, his own life would be in jeopardy, so he didn’t rush to grab the check.

Su Lin laughed: “No need, the money was yours to begin with. Just handle the task I assigned to you. By the way, did you tell Li Ziyu about that woman’s location?”

Luo Sihai nodded: “Told her already, and she rushed off in a hurry.”

“Heh, to trick such a beautiful woman, am I not too unscrupulous?” After saying this, Su Lin looked towards Luo Sihai: “The fire isn’t big enough yet. Go and fan the flames, spread the news that Li Ziyen died in his car, done by the assassin group’s defected Silver-ranked assassin, Blood Rose, under the orders of Li Ziyu’s fiancé, Xiao Chen.”

This statement contained a lot of information, leaving Luo Sihai somewhat overwhelmed: “Boss, is… is this true?”

Su Lin nodded: “Of course, that woman just now, she is Blood Rose.”

“But how could it be like this?”

Su Lin sneered: “The strife within big families is not something we small fries can participate in.”

Luo Sihai gave Su Lin a glance, thinking: “You’re not participating? You’re the one who orchestrated all this.”

However, such words he could only think to himself, definitely not daring to voice out. With Li Ziyu gone, the entire Eastern Sea will know that Luo Sihai has climbed up to become the new power of the Eastern Sea.

It’s not that no one wanted to deal with Su Zhen Guo by force. However, they all dared not. For things like 4G communication technology, which is of significant importance to the country’s development, no one would let these families reach out their black hands because the issue has already reached a different level.

Even big families like the Qin family and the Li family could only talk about cooperation, not threats or temptations.

“Go, but start spreading the news after half an hour. By night, you can also reveal Xiao Chen’s address. Emphasize that Xiao Chen is also a master of the national arts.”

Luo Sihai felt his scalp tingle, how did Su Lin mess with Xiao Chen to such an extent. And Xiao Chen is a master of the national arts, which is truly frightening.

Su Lin smiled: “Don’t worry about him seeking revenge. He’s too busy to take care of himself. Besides, just make your guys do it covertly. Once done, send them out of the country, and they won’t trace it back to you.”

“Yes, yes, I know what to do.” Once aboard the thief ship, no matter what Su Lin intends to do, he must follow through to the end.

On the other side, Blood Rose, after confirming no one was tailing her, was just about to leave her rental place when she suddenly felt several powerful auras rushing towards her.

Blood Rose’s expression changed, and she dashed towards an unoccupied area.

“In that direction, she’s running, let’s chase!!” Several martial arts masters immediately pursued Blood Rose.

At this time, Blood Rose was sprinting towards the suburbs. It wasn’t that she was afraid of dying, but she was worried about involving Xiao Chen. Being an assassin, she was not proficient in martial arts.

The several auras she sensed were incredibly strong; she didn’t think Xiao Chen could handle them. After all, he was her lifesaver; she couldn’t let him suffer because of her.

Feeling the auras behind her, Blood Rose felt somewhat desperate; these were at least gold-level assassins. The assassin group was ruthless towards her, actually sending several gold-level assassins to encircle and kill her.

At the Quan Le Guo branch store in Donghai City, Zhao Yanyan was wandering in the supermarket, looking for any unreasonable aspects of the store. Soon, she arrived at the women’s socks section. Zhao Yanyan’s eyes were attracted by a row of stockings.

She remembered what Su Lin often told her, advising her to buy a few pairs of stockings when she had time. Such beautiful legs would be a waste not to wear stockings.

Wearing stockings feels even better to the touch, and so on. Zhao Yanyan, as if possessed, picked up a box of black stockings: “Is this thing really that magical, Su Lin talks about it every day.”

“There’s already Xiaowan and Xiaoyu at home, and there’s me here. The Qin family has a little princess who is also ambiguously involved with him, is this really okay for me? Maybe I should buy a box to try?”

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanyan’s face turned red. Although she didn’t know how Su Lin would react to seeing her in stockings, she was sure he would do something bad. But she was also somewhat looking forward to it.

“President Zhao, is there any problem with these stockings?”

Zhao Yanyan shook her head; “No problem, I’m just not sure about the quality of these stockings. I’ll take a pair back to try on. If the quality is bad, we’ll remove them from the shelves.”

“President Zhao will try them personally?” The assistant nearby was somewhat stunned.

Zhao Yanyan nodded; “Yes, I must try them personally. We can’t let products with quality issues enter the market. Xiao Zhao, go pay for this box of stockings.”

“Alright~!!”

Watching the assistant leave, Zhao Yanyan, with a blushing face, looked around to make sure no one was watching before taking the box to her office. Thinking back on the excuses she made to avoid embarrassment, Zhao Yanyan felt a bit flushed; she had never made such pretentious statements before.

“Su Lin, it’s all your fault. Why do you have such strange hobbies?” Zhao Yanyan ran to the office and threw the stockings on the desk, now regretting her words and bringing the box to the office.

The words were out; to wear them or not? However, before she could decide, the office door opened. The only person who could enter her office without knocking was Su Lin. After delegating the follow-up tasks to Luo Sihai, Su Lin came back alone. Just as he was about to speak to Zhao Yanyan, he noticed the box of black silk on her desk.

Su Lin quickly picked up the box; “Yanyan, you are indeed my good Yanyan, finally seeing it through, huh.”

“Ah~!! Su Lin, when did you come in?” Zhao Yanyan was startled to see Su Lin and the box of stockings in his hand.

Su Lin chuckled; “Just now, I was about to knock, but as soon as my hand touched the door, it opened automatically, so I walked in.” He waved the box in his hand at Zhao Yanyan; “Yanyan, heh heh~! You bought these black silk stockings especially for me, didn’t you?”

Zhao Yanyan, embarrassed, retorted; “For you, yes, for you. Go ahead and wear them. There’s a rest room here. Hurry up and change. I really want to see what a big man looks like in black silk.”

Su Lin walked up to Zhao Yanyan, placed the box in her arms; “Of course, it’s more suitable for you to wear these.”

“No… I won’t wear them!!” Zhao Yanyan turned her face away, looking out the window. Su Lin chuckled, whispered a few words in her ear.

Zhao Yanyan’s breathing relaxed, but she still looked out the window, ignoring Su Lin, knowing that it was not a good time to speak, as negotiating conditions wouldn’t go well then.

Su Lin narrowed his eyes; this level of favorability wasn’t enough, but that made it more interesting, didn’t it?
