Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Breaking Through

Just like Liu Bowen, Ma Junjie was also stunned on the spot. He had initially planned to use some tactics to make Su Zhenguo comply.

But now with the news from Su Zhenguo, he had to think twice about making a move, especially since Su Zhenguo was now closely allied with Lin Guoqiang. He wouldn’t dare to strike against Su Zhenguo.

“It seems I can only find a breakthrough with Li Ziyu now. Such a beautiful woman, it would be nice to have a marriage alliance with her, too bad, she’s with Su Lin.”

Although Li Ziyu and Su Lin’s relationship hadn’t been officially exposed, everyone was no fool. Su Zhenguo had handed over such a lucrative business to the Li family; was this purely business cooperation? Even dogs wouldn’t believe it.

“Since I can’t break through from Su Zhenguo, I’ll have to make Li Ziyu back out of the cooperation myself.” Ma Junjie’s eyes darkened as he quickly thought of several pressure tactics, but he knew these wouldn’t be enough.

And he had already received news that Li Ziyu’s biological father, Li Tiancheng, was currently in Yangcheng.

“I heard that this Li Tiancheng is quite the playboy, tsk tsk~!! Quite interesting.” Ma Junjie’s lips curled up slightly, already figuring out how to manipulate Li Ziyu.

At the same time, Xiao Feiyu also heard the joint declaration from Lin Guoqiang and Su Zhenguo. Although their Xiao family had given up on this money-making opportunity, it didn’t mean Xiao Feiyu was willing to return without any success.

His conflict with Su Lin was irreconcilable, and unfortunately, he couldn’t get any villain points from Su Lin’s girlfriends, so he had to obtain them from the female supporting characters.

But now, Liu Shiwen, one of these supporting characters, wasn’t giving him the time of day either. Xiao Feiyu felt he had been too hasty with Liu Shiwen.

It would have been better if he had made contact first and then let Wang Yannian bring up the marriage alliance.

“A miscalculation, indeed. Now I can only slowly mend the relationship with Liu Shiwen.”

“Fortunately, I still know some of Liu Shiwen’s preferences, which I can use to my advantage. Su Lin is really incomprehensible, completely different from the usual protagonist’s pattern, really headache-inducing.”

Xiao Feiyu rubbed his temples, having become thoroughly wary of Su Lin after being put down repeatedly. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t confront Su Lin directly.

However, Xiao Feiyu didn’t know that while he intended to keep a low profile and avoid trouble, others would seek him out.

He was about to leave when he was stopped by a voice. “Xiao Feiyu?”

Xiao Feiyu looked at the slightly older, somewhat cynical young man with some confusion, “I’m Xiao Feiyu, and you are?”

“The Qin family, Qin Mu~!!”

Hearing the words “Qin family,” Xiao Feiyu almost exploded; now, hearing someone with the surname Qin made him want to commit murder on the spot.

Seeing the fleeting anger in Xiao Feiyu, Qin Mu didn’t care at all, still wearing a light smile, “My father is Qin Desen, the second branch of the Qin family~!”

Hearing this, Xiao Feiyu’s eyes narrowed; “What do you want from me?”

Qin Mu glanced around and said, “It’s not convenient to talk here.”

Xiao Feiyu smiled faintly; “Then let’s find a convenient place to talk.”

Qin Mu also smiled, knowing Xiao Feiyu would take the bait, as Xiao Feiyu now hated Su Lin and Qin Jiuyue deeply. Despite Qin Desen seeming very relaxed usually, as if he were above worldly affairs, he was always paying attention to the Qin family’s matters, especially Qin Jiuyue; they had specifically sent someone to inquire about it.

This inquiry turned out to be shocking, as Xiao Feiyu had been injured by Qin Jiuyue. Although the information was a bit vague, they concluded that Xiao Feiyu was a good breakthrough.

As long as they cooperated with Xiao Feiyu to bring down Su Lin and the alliance of Qin Deshu and Li Ziyu, he could successfully take over as the head of the Qin family.

Qin Desen had been dormant for too long and was not willing to remain so anymore. He was not content to die before having a few days as the family head.

Thus, he had Qin Mu find an opportunity to chat with Xiao Feiyu at the banquet. The two hit it off immediately, like dry tinder meeting a flame.

“There’s a tea room on the 12th floor, don’t miss it.”

“Alright, I won’t miss it~!!”

Qin Mu left immediately after his words took effect, disappearing into the crowd. Although Qin Deshu probably couldn’t spare the attention for him now, he still acted cautiously.

Xiao Feiyu watched Qin Mu’s departing figure and took out his phone: “It’s me, check on the Qin family’s relationships immediately, especially the three brothers of Qin Deshu, be thorough~!!”

“Alright, young master.”

He obviously couldn’t trust Qin Mu’s words so quickly, but as long as there was a chance, he had to try it. Otherwise, Su Lin would only grow stronger, and he would eventually feel utterly spiritless even just by looking at him.

Soon, his family sent the information about the three Qin brothers to Xiao Feiyu’s phone.

Xiao Feiyu, looking at the information on his phone, had an epiphany; “So that’s it, the eldest and the second are both outstanding, the third supports the eldest and then steps back, the second harbors dissatisfaction, just another drama of a wealthy family vying for power.”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Large families don’t fear their children being outstanding, what they fear is all their children being outstanding without one being exceptionally prominent, which would be very troublesome.

Outstanding individuals are often proud, and no one concedes to another; Qin Delin supported Qin Deshu and then devoted all his energy to antiques, even though he loved antiques, Xiao Feiyu could guess that another part of the reason was to give Qin Deshu peace of mind; he would feel secure only if he studied antiques every day.

As for Qin Desen, he went even further by displaying an attitude of disengagement from worldly affairs, managing nothing and even refusing visitors, effectively retiring.

“No matter what drama, I need to meet this Qin Desen.” Having figured all this out, Xiao Feiyu returned to the hall.

Most people at the banquet were family heads, and many did not recognize Xiao Feiyu, so he found an opening to slip away again, this time in a different direction. What Xiao Feiyu didn’t know was that Su Lin had noticed his sneaky departure.

“This Xiao Feiyu is up to no good, definitely plotting something. These people need constant vigilance; a moment’s inattention can give them an opportunity.”

He knew that Xiao Feiyu was still weak, but he wouldn’t underestimate him because Xiao Feiyu was now with Wang Yannian, and Wang Yannian had brought several strong men to Donghai.

The banquet continued, but Su Lin was no longer interested in staying. He planned to find Li Ziyu and check the hotel’s surveillance. He wanted to see who Xiao Feiyu was sneaking off to meet~!!

Su Lin approached Li Ziyu, and immediately felt overwhelmed as Li Ziyu was surrounded by a circle of noblewomen. Perhaps those male tycoons were too embarrassed to approach Li Ziyu, because she was too young, or perhaps they had tried but Li Ziyu hadn’t given them a chance, so they changed tactics, sending a bunch of noblewomen to her side.

The intonation of these noblewomen’s speech greatly annoyed Li Ziyu, and yet each of them had significant connections; she didn’t want to offend them all, so she could only chat with them.

Seeing this, Su Lin thought for a moment, then moved closer; “Ziyu, my dad is looking for you.”

These words were like heavenly music to Li Ziyu’s ears, and she quickly asked, “President Su is looking for me? Where?”

“I’ll take you there.” After speaking, Su Lin directly grabbed Li Ziyu’s wrist and headed out through the crowd.

The noblewomen watched helplessly as Li Ziyu was pulled away by Su Lin, dumbstruck and unable to speak.
