Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 231

Chapter 231

Seeing Jiang Ruoxi get out of the car, Bai Qikun turned to look at Su Lin and then shook his head: “This Su Lin, his romantic luck is really flourishing.”

Hearing this, Bai Lengshan looked at Bai Qikun: “Dad, you never gossip about this.”

“Yes, I never gossip about these things, but this Su Lin is indeed bizarre. Get to know him more and you’ll understand why I’m so curious about him.”

After saying that, he seriously added, “It’s fine to understand him, just don’t harbor any unnecessary thoughts towards Su Lin.”

Bai Lengshan widened her eyes: “Dad, what are you talking about? I’ve said I will never marry in this lifetime, not even considering the third young master of the Liu family, let alone a Su Lin.”

Bai Qikun shook his head: “It’s precisely because it’s Su Lin that I have to remind you. I’ve seen his information. Virtually every woman who has interacted with him ends up liking him. Imagine how strong his personal charm must be, to make the daughters of the Lin family, the Jiang family, and even the Li and Qin families take an interest in him.”

Startled by his words, Bai Lengshan then shook her head: “That’s because they are of similar age. I’m much older than Su Lin, we won’t have any situations.”

Hearing this, Bai Qikun sighed: “Actually, I still hope you meet a man in Donghai whom you can entrust your life to. You’re already twenty-eight; if you don’t get married soon, you’ll become an old maid.”

Bai Lengshan lightly said, “A person like me, whose hands are stained with blood, how could I possibly engage in delicate matters? Dad, please don’t worry about me.”

Bai Qikun shook his head. Bai Lengshan’s choice to remain unmarried, ultimately, he was the chief culprit. If he had not allowed Bai Lengshan to cultivate, perhaps her life would have been different.

“Su Lin, Su Lin~!!”

In the living room, Su Lin looked surprised when he saw Jiang Ruoxi rushing in: “Ruoxi, what brings you here?”

Jiang Ruoxi approached Su Lin and looked him up and down: “I heard you had another conflict with Xiao Feiyu, are you alright?”

Su Lin smiled: “Ruoxi, Xiao Feiyu is your fiancé. You’re not worrying about him but instead asking if I’m okay, aren’t you afraid he’ll be jealous?”

“Jealous? Impossible. After everything that’s happened in Donghai, I’ve seen through Xiao Feiyu completely. He’s a hypocrite.”

“Heh…”

“I heard you fought him again?”

Su Lin nodded: “Yes, but I wasn’t fighting Xiao Feiyu, but the Ghost Doctor Wang Yannian.”

“Ghost Doctor? How did you end up fighting him?” Jiang Ruoxi asked, puzzled. She was less informed and didn’t know that Wang Yannian had already teamed up with Xiao Feiyu.

Su Lin smiled: “What else could be the reason? He’s now teamed up with Xiao Feiyu. But this Wang Yannian, despite being an old and well-known figure, I thought he’d be seventy or eighty with declining vitality.”

“Turns out he’s a Human Immortal, actually having two hundred years to live, still in the prime of his life. Misjudgment there, we ended up in a draw.”

“You’re typically taking advantage of the situation yet acting innocent. Wang Yannian is a renowned senior, and he’s a rank above you, yet you managed a draw with him, which proves you’re even more impressive.”

“In some sense, that’s true, but unfortunately, I’m still a bit lacking.”

Jiang Ruoxi consoled: “Don’t dwell on it. Once you become a Human Immortal, you’ll definitely beat him.”

“Heh~! Thank you, Ruoxi.”

“Don’t mention it, we’re friends, after all.”

“Rightly said, we’re friends.”

“Right, Su Lin, apart from checking on you, there’s something else I need to tell you.”

Seeing Jiang Ruoxi’s serious expression, Su Lin also turned solemn: “Ruoxi, what is it?”

“It’s not about me, it’s about Ziyu. I heard her grandfather has woken up.” Jiang Ruoxi had only started her sentence when Su Lin immediately understood; he knew that Li Weifeng’s awakening might spell trouble for Li Ziyu.

But as long as he had even a slight hint of news, he should know not to act rashly.

Hearing this, Su Lin frowned: “Is Ziyu at the company or at home?”

“She’s not at the company, she should be at home.”

Su Lin nodded: “Ruoxi, I’m a bit worried about Ziyu’s situation, I might need to visit the Li family estate.”

Jiang Ruoxi’s gaze softened considerably seeing how eager Su Lin was to see Li Ziyu, indicating that Li Ziyu held a significant place in Su Lin’s heart. This made her sincerely wish Su Lin and Li Ziyu well.

“Alright, then you should go. Don’t worry about me, I’ll drive home.”

“Okay…”

At that moment, at the Li family estate, the needle Su Lin had placed in Li Weifeng was finally lifted, and he had originally intended to feign illness for a while.

Unfortunately, Li Ziyu, who had great faith in Su Lin’s capabilities, confirmed that he was fine as soon as the appointed time arrived, giving him no chance to prepare a turnaround.

Li Ziyu looked at Li Weifeng with a faint expression: “Grandfather, you shouldn’t have contacted your old subordinates so soon. I’ve sent them away; now everything in the estate cannot escape my watch.”

Hearing this, Li Weifeng praised her with admiration: “Ziyu, I really didn’t misjudge you. Among the Li family, you are the most like me.”

Li Ziyu shook her head: “Grandfather, I’m not as ruthless as you. If you don’t cross my bottom line, I wouldn’t treat you this way.”

Li Weifeng laughed heartily: “Hahaha… Ruthless? What do you know, being ruthless is necessary to achieve great things. Being sentimental only makes you vulnerable; a ruthless person has no weaknesses, whereas having feelings makes your whole body a weakness, making it easy for enemies to target you.”

“In this world, not provoking others doesn’t mean you can live peacefully. If you don’t provoke others, they will come to attack you. I thought the same as you before I graduated from university, but now, reality forces us to become ruthless.”

Li Ziyu’s expression remained unchanged: “Grandfather, if a person loses their emotions, they are no different from a beast; I don’t want to become an emotionless, desire-driven machine.”

Li Weifeng smiled: “Then I will force you to become a ruthless person.”

Li Ziyu didn’t respond, just felt that the Li Weifeng before her had gone mad, and she didn’t want to deal with him anymore, letting him enjoy his old age here.

As Li Ziyu turned around, she heard Li Weifeng loudly say: “Ziyu, don’t you want to know the truth about your mother’s death?”

Li Ziyu’s body trembled, but she didn’t turn around.

“Actually, your father didn’t stop loving your mother; on the contrary, he was deeply attached to her, so he was especially good to her initially. But in my eyes, this was a display of weakness and incompetence. I wanted him to achieve something great, but he only wanted to stay with your mother.”

“So I arranged for a group of women to approach him, seducing him, drugging him, and so on, using every trick in the book until their deep love was broken by my minor manipulations.”

“Stop talking, stop talking.”

“I told all these things completely to your father, thinking he would transform, but he turned out to be useless, choosing to run away instead.”

“Stop talking, grandfather, you’re lying to me, right, you’re lying…”

Li Weifeng looked at Li Ziyu, no longer calm and composed, but rather pleased with himself, as only a ruthless person can lead the family to glory. Li Ziyu met all the criteria required of a family head, but she was too sentimental.

“I didn’t lie to you, your father, he…”

“Stop talking, stop…” Just as Li Ziyu was on the verge of collapsing, she blacked out and fainted.

Su Lin caught Li Ziyu in his arms and looked at Li Weifeng calmly: “Are you pushing her so hard just to make her kill you by her own hands?”

Li Weifeng’s pupils shrank at the sight of Su Lin, then regained his composure: “You shouldn’t have come.”

“If I hadn’t come, Ziyu would have been completely ruined by you.”

“No, I’m not ruining her, but awakening all her potential. With Ziyu’s capabilities, the Li family could enter the capital in ten years.”

Su Lin shook his head: “You’ve completely gone mad.”

Su Lin pressed on Li Ziyu’s acupuncture point, and she gradually woke up.

Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin, slowly regaining her senses, then feeling a mix of fear and relief: “Su Lin, you came.”

Su Lin nodded: “I came, Ziyu, you should have told me earlier that this old man had woken up.”

Li Ziyu glanced at Li Weifeng, then looked at Su Lin lightly: “Su Lin, what do you think should be done?”

“Let him lie in bed for a lifetime,” Su Lin said lightly.

“But I want him to die.”

“Then let him die,” Su Lin smiled.

“You… don’t you think I’m terrible?” Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin and asked.

Su Lin tenderly stroked Li Ziyu’s hair and said softly, “Ziyu, even if you are in the abyss, I will accompany you.”

[Ding~! Female lead Li Ziyu’s affection for the host has reached 100 full points.].

“Su Lin, you pulled me back from the brink of a cliff.”

Su Lin released Li Ziyu, saying, “Ziyu, wait outside for me, I’ll handle the rest.”

“Okay…” Li Ziyu smiled sweetly, her charm undeniable for a moment before she walked out of the room.

Su Lin turned to Li Weifeng and said lightly, “Your so-called ruthlessness that can lead the family to glory is wrong.”

“Oh?”

Su Lin confidently said, “Absolute power can also lead the family to the pinnacle, while retaining humanity.” After touching Li Weifeng’s forehead gently, Su Lin sighed.

Leaving the room, Li Ziyu stood at the doorway looking at Su Lin: “You didn’t kill him.”

“I finally pulled you back; I didn’t want to push you down again. I’ve destroyed his memory center. Isn’t your dad in Yangcheng? Send him there to retire.”

Li Ziyu nodded: “The difference between humans and beasts is that humans have emotions. Su Lin, I don’t want to be a woman driven only by desires. Thank you.”

Su Lin smiled: “Thank me? Ziyu, how do you plan to thank me?”

Li Ziyu pulled Su Lin by his collar, wrapped her arms around his face, and then kissed him.

“Can I thank you with the rest of my life?”

“Of course~!!!”
