Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Li Ziyu’s Speculations

Seeing Su Lin really leave, Jiang Ruoxi was dumbfounded; she couldn’t believe Su Lin would leave just like that, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Although she knew it was rash of her to approach him like this, being left hanging made her feel especially embarrassed. She couldn’t even find a way to trouble Su Lin, because it was her own doing that caused this situation.

‘Jiang Ruoxi, Jiang Ruoxi, you really are the number one fool. How could you do something so foolish?’

Xia Shiyu didn’t know what Jiang Ruoxi was thinking at the time; she pulled out a notebook and sat across from Jiang Ruoxi, asking, “Ruoxi, in which areas do you want to cooperate with us?”

“Uh… um, sorry, Xiaoyu, I didn’t catch that,” Jiang Ruoxi said, blushing. She felt like she wanted to die.

It felt like she hadn’t checked the calendar before leaving home today, with all kinds of embarrassing mishaps occurring. Fortunately, Su Lin wasn’t there, otherwise she would have been even more embarrassed.

In the lounge, Lin Xiaowan was restless when suddenly the door opened, and she said somewhat panic-stricken, “Su… Su Lin, you’re back already?”

Su Lin smiled and said, “Didn’t I tell you? I was just coming over.”

“How come so quickly? What about Jiang Ruoxi, weren’t you discussing business with her?” Lin Xiaowan felt her mind wasn’t working properly.

Logically, discussing a partnership would take at least a few hours or at least several tens of minutes to an hour, yet Su Lin had returned in just a few minutes. Was it really that urgent?

“A small cooperation, I don’t care much about it, let Xiaoyu handle her to avoid your wild thoughts.”

“Me… when did I start having wild thoughts?” Lin Xiaowan stubbornly said. Although she had come to terms with her feelings for Su Lin, his quick return still made her feel somewhat sour.

Therefore, she spoke with emotion to Su Lin, not expecting him to be quite understanding, which warmed Lin Xiaowan’s heart.

Su Lin stepped forward, stretched lazily, and lifted Lin Xiaowan in his arms: “Whether you had wild thoughts, you know best, let’s go…”

At Li Corporation, Li Ziyu had just sent off a family representative from Shancheng and returned to her office, barely warm in her seat when her assistant rushed in, knocking on the door.

“President Li… President Li…”

Li Ziyu was displeased; why was the assistant so flustered? This wasn’t her usual demeanor. freёwebnoѵel.com

“Xiaodan, what’s the matter?”

“I… just received a call from Yangcheng. The former chairman and your father have been abducted by strangers.”

Li Ziyu frowned upon hearing this. Although she wasn’t very attached to Li Tiancheng and Li Weifeng, the timing of their abduction definitely made things interesting.

“Huh? Been abducted? Tell me more.”

With the assistant’s explanation, Li Ziyu understood that this was no accident but a premeditated kidnapping. The reason for the kidnapping was clear: it was to coerce her into compliance.

Comply with what? Most likely it concerned a business deal related to mobile operations. Li Ziyu rubbed her temples, “Xiaodan, did they report this to the police in Yangcheng?”

The assistant nodded, “They called the police immediately, but so far there’s no lead.”

Li Ziyu sighed; “No surprise there, considering the significance of this act, they wouldn’t dare if they feared investigation.

You should know that in this world, masters and grandmasters come and go without a trace. While ordinary crimes can be investigated, tracking crimes committed by these martial artists is incredibly difficult.”

“Who could it be? The Xiao family or the Ma family? Or both might be involved.”

Intuition told Li Ziyu that this was not a simple kidnapping. It was likely not just targeting her but Su Lin as well. She knew all too well how many people Su Lin had offended over the years.

If it was simply a matter of cooperation, as long as the price was right, she wouldn’t refuse, so these people must have had more complex intentions, likely targeting the Su Corporation behind her.

“President Li, what should we do now?”

Li Ziyu waved her hand, “Go on, I need to think. This isn’t a simple matter; they’ll probably call me soon.”

“Alright, President Li~!!”

After the assistant left, Li Ziyu’s first instinct was to call Su Lin, but she quickly decided against it.

“The Ma family dominates in Yangcheng; they couldn’t possibly be unaware of such a major kidnapping. And since the police in Yangcheng are clueless, there’s only one possibility : the Ma family is complicit, or even involved.In that case, it must be Ma Junjie.”

Li Ziyu knew that Ma Junjie’s visit to Donghai was for Su Lin’s mobile business, but that business had already been transferred to her… Ma Junjie wouldn’t want to return empty-handed, hence the risky move.

Having realized the key issue, Li Ziyu was not in a hurry to find Su Lin. Because she believed Ma Junjie would definitely come to her.

“What is Su Lin up to? He doesn’t even visit me. No, he’s not free anymore; he’s the deputy head of the company now. Li Ziyu, when did you start having such childish thoughts?” Li Ziyu slapped her forehead, then picked up the documents on her desk to read again.

Ma Junjie, coming out of Xiao Feiyu’s home, wore a satisfied smile. His trip to the Xiao family had been fruitful; at least he came to understand Xiao Feiyu anew, and the two also reached a cooperation.

With the help of people like the ghost doctor Wang Yannian, he wasn’t afraid that Su Lin would make a move against him in Donghai. Just back home, Ma Junjie saw Ma Zhong returning with a grim face.

“Uncle Zhong~! Where have you been?” Ma Junjie asked with a smile.

Ma Zhong did not answer immediately but asked, “Xiaojie, I heard you’re going to move against the Su family?”

Ma Junjie nodded, “Not exactly moving against them, but you know the family’s situation. We must secure the Su family’s mobile business, or else our Ma family will face the danger of overcapacity, too many factories, and too many employees.”

“Is there no other way?” Ma Zhong asked with a grim face.

Ma Junjie was puzzled, “Uncle Zhong, you never consider things this way; what happened?”

Ma Zhong sighed, then told Ma Junjie about the incident that had just occurred outside the Su Corporation. He continued, “The Su Corporation has at least two Human Immortals. Although our Ma family has some too, getting them to act is almost impossible.”

Ma Junjie laughed, “Uncle Zhong, do you think I’m a fool? How could I move against the Su family alone?”

“Hm? Who did you join with?”

“The Xiao family, and the ghost doctor Wang Yannian~!!” Ma Junjie said lightly.

Hearing this, Ma Zhong frowned but soon relaxed, “If they really are involved, this can be done, but it’s still risky. It would be best to get the Liu family on board.”

He had just met with Liu Kunlun today and received a very important piece of information: several old monsters from the Liu family had come to Donghai. If the Liu family could get involved, then this matter would almost certainly be secure.
