Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Ye Feng Complains, I Advise You to Behave Yourself!

On Monday, Chen Yang took a leave of absence for three days. Su Lin had tried to persuade Chen Yang, but when he didn’t listen, Su Lin didn’t push further.

After all, it was Chen Yang’s own path to choose, and while Su Lin could offer guidance, he couldn’t dictate every decision.

Besides, he had faith in Chen Yang’s abilities; even if Chen Yang chose to drop out of school now, he could still manage the company well. Talent is undeniable!

So, Su Lin decided to let things take their natural course and let Chen Yang figure things out on his own. Arriving at school in the morning, Su Lin was surprised to see Lin Xiaowan being called out by Ye Feng.

Given Lin Xiaowan’s nature of abhorring evil, her impression of Ye Feng was extremely poor, almost hateful. Yet, she still followed Ye Feng out.

Su Lin quietly followed them, curious about what new trouble Ye Feng might stir up.

He saw the two stop at a corner near another staircase, where Lin Xiaowan, impatiently, said to Ye Feng, “Ye Feng, you said you would tell me about Su Lin’s sinister intentions. Go on, I want to see what kind of story you can come up with.”

Ye Feng, looking at Lin Xiaowan, felt a sting in his heart. Why were Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu both so protective of Su Lin? One was his childhood sweetheart, and the other his unrequited love. Unfortunately, there was no answer for him.

Seeing Ye Feng silent, Lin Xiaowan turned to leave, but Ye Feng quickly said, “Xiao… Lin Xiaowan, Su Lin’s sinister intentions are simple. He wants to have his cake and eat it too.”

“On one hand, he says he likes you, and on the other, he’s flirting with Xiaoyu. A few days ago, late at night, he even tricked Xiaoyu into going to his house.”

Su Lin, overhearing this, inwardly cursed. Ye Feng was not playing fair at all, resorting to underhanded tactics.

Lin Xiaowan paused, then turned to Ye Feng, “You say Su Lin wants to have both? Did you see it?”

Ye Feng shook his head, “That’s why I say it’s his intention. He wants it this way.”

“Haha, which man doesn’t want to have both? Don’t you want it?” Lin Xiaowan sharply retorted with a cold laugh.

“This…”

“See, you want it too. The problem is, you don’t have the chance, but Su Lin might. So, you’re just jealous.”

Su Lin almost burst into applause. Lin Xiaowan’s straightforwardness was absolutely admirable.

“Ye Feng, you don’t understand Su Lin at all. You’re just judging a noble heart with your petty mind. I know what kind of person Su Lin is, better than you do.”

“He may not have a good reputation in class, and may seem hard to approach, but only those who get close to him can see his noble qualities!”

“The surgery fees for Xiaoyu’s dad were advanced by Su Lin. Just a few days ago, late at night, on Xiaoyu’s birthday, Su Lin was only celebrating her birthday. You think I don’t know?”

“I bet you called Xiaoyu with some ulterior motives, and she ruthlessly rejected you. Ye Feng, you can’t compare to Su Lin at all. It’s normal for Xiaoyu to like him.” Lin Xiaowan said indifferently.

“You… you know Xiaoyu also likes Su Lin?”

Lin Xiaowan lightly laughed, “What’s so surprising about that? Su Lin’s excellence is obvious to both me and Xiaoyu. We both like Su Lin, but we just haven’t spoken about it openly.”

“So, you both agree to let Su Lin have both?”

Lin Xiaowan chuckled, “That’s impossible. Xiaoyu and I will compete fairly, but Su Lin isn’t as despicable as you think.”

“That silly girl, Xiaoyu, would fall for him with just a wave of his hand. However, in all the time we’ve spent together, he has never crossed the line!”

“Sometimes I really like Su Lin for being such a gentleman, but sometimes I hate that he’s too much of one, to the point of being oblivious to affection, you know?”

Su Lin, hearing Lin Xiaowan’s words, blushed and thought to himself, “That’s too much praise, I don’t deserve it!”

He didn’t expect to be seen as so perfect in Lin Xiaowan’s eyes, especially considering how he had recently teased Xia Shiyu.

“Ye Feng, I used to think that though you were not a good person, you still had some integrity. But today, I realize I was wrong. You are a despicable person. When you couldn’t win Yanhuan’s heart, you tried to ruin her.”

“Then, you immediately pursued Xiaoyu, even stooping to deceive her for money. And now, rejected, you come to me to sow discord. You are utterly despicable.”

“I and Xiaoyu don’t want to speak to you anymore. Please, stay away from us in the future.” Lin Xiaowan firmly stated to Ye Feng.

“I did it for your own good,” Ye Feng replied, feeling misunderstood by the whole world. Xia Shiyu was like that, and now Lin Xiaowan seemed bewitched.

“Haha, so your idea of doing good is to destroy what you can’t have? Ye Feng, you really are shameless.”

“Bravo! Well said, Xiaowan!” Su Lin emerged with a smile: “Xiaowan, I never thought I’d be so highly regarded in your heart.”

Lin Xiaowan’s face turned red with anger, not shyness. She didn’t expect Su Lin to have been eavesdropping and to have heard everything she said.

“Su Lin, were you listening the whole time?”

Su Lin shook his head: “Not really… I started listening from the part about being a gentleman.”

“You…”

Su Lin cheerfully said: “Xiaowan, I really didn’t expect you to say such things.”

“Hmph, we’ll settle this later.” Lin Xiaowan, annoyed, kicked Su Lin lightly and then ran off.

As Lin Xiaowan left, Su Lin turned his gaze to Ye Feng, his eyes cold: “Ye Feng, have I been too lenient with you in the past, making you think you can provoke me without consequences?”

“Hmph, Su Lin, you know what you’re up to,” Ye Feng retorted, unfazed.

Su Lin was tall and well-built but never engaged in fights, unlike Ye Feng, who had been brawling since childhood. Ye Feng was looking for an opportunity to get back at Su Lin for all the pent-up frustration.

Su Lin nodded: “Exactly as you said. And what can you do about it?”

“What can I do about it you say? Heh…” Ye Feng’s fist swung towards Su Lin’s nose with obvious malice, intending to disfigure him.

Su Lin’s eyes grew even colder. He had hoped to settle this verbally, but it had escalated to physical confrontation. He quickly grabbed Ye Feng’s wrist, pulled him forward, and delivered a knee strike.

“Ugh…” Ye Feng doubled over in pain, his face turning the color of liver. Su Lin had not held back with that strike.

After letting go of Ye Feng, who was too pained to retort, Su Lin looked down on him: “Thought you were tough? Down on the ground after just one hit?”

Ye Feng looked at Su Lin, despair in his eyes, realizing he was completely outclassed. Even in a fight, he couldn’t match Su Lin.

Su Lin dusted off his hands and addressed Ye Feng: “Ye Feng, considering your childhood connection with Xiaoyu, I don’t want to resort to other measures. But remember, that doesn’t mean I won’t.”

“In this society, a life can be both valuable and worthless. If you provoke me again, be ready for retaliation. It won’t be just words next time.”

Ye Feng listened to Su Lin’s casual yet ominous words, feeling genuine fear. He knew Su Lin meant what he said. Who among the wealthy had entirely clean hands? Every tycoon’s initial accumulation had its bloody aspects.

“This is both my first and last warning to you. I advise you to behave yourself!” With that, Su Lin walked away, leaving the statement hanging in the air. If Ye Feng continued to cause trouble, Su Lin wouldn’t hesitate to take action.
