Seeing Xiao Feiyu suddenly looking as if he had lost his soul, Xiao Quan thought Xiao Feiyu was saddened because Su Lin was too powerful to provoke at the moment.
So, he comforted him, âYoung Master, even though Su Lin is powerful, it doesnât mean our Xiao family is afraid of him. If you really want to vent, I can notify the family head to send over two elders.â
Hearing Xiao Quanâs words, Xiao Feiyu suddenly perked up and angrily retorted, âWhatâs the use if the person is already gone?â
âPerson? Gone? What person is gone?â Xiao Quan was confused, looking at Xiao Feiyu.
Isnât Su Lin still fine? Why is Xiao Feiyu speaking so strangely today?
Xiao Feiyu stood up and looked at Xiao Quan, âHurry and find out for sure if that Xiao Chen is really dead or not. It would be best to see his body in person. It must be genuine, do you understand? Now go!â
Not understanding why Xiao Feiyu was acting mad, Xiao Quan could only nod and then leave the office to investigate whether Xiao Chen was really dead or not.
After Xiao Quan left, Xiao Feiyu summoned the system again.
âSystem, Xiao Chen is dead, the protagonist is dead, how am I supposed to play now?â
[Can a protagonist who gets killed still be called a protagonist?].
âWhat do you mean? Are you saying Xiao Chen isnât the protagonist, then who is?â Xiao Feiyu asked with wide eyes.
[You need to discover that on your own.].
âDamn it! You canât die from just saying it, can you? This is the world of a novel, how can the novelâs protagonist be dead, system, say something?â
[â¦].
As the system went silent, Xiao Feiyu fell into deep thought. He didnât know why the system remained silent, but he had a feeling that Xiao Chen was indeed dead.
Then, who is the real protagonist? The first person that came to Xiao Feiyuâs mind was Su Lin. The young man who chatted and laughed with Li Ziyu and Jiang Ruoxi and knew the police stationâs chief.
âNo way, I have to ask Xiao Quan to check on Su Linâs information.â
Meanwhile, Su Lin had no idea Xiao Feiyu was already paying attention to him, and even if he knew, he wouldnât care.
Right now, even if Xiao Feiyu was a martial arts master, he could crush him. His foundation was too weak, not even as impressive as Xiao Chen when he first started.
Although he had a system, Su Lin wasnât worried. He just needed to prevent this guy from slapping faces, showing off, and flirting with girls.
Among those he knew, only Jiang Ruoxi and Li Ziyuâs favorability wasnât at full value yet. But for Xiao Feiyu, winning over these two would be quite challenging.
âSu Lin, weâve already arranged the companyâs affairs. Weâll be staying at home for the next few days.â
Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan, puzzled, âStay at home? Why stay at home? Didnât you say before that staying at home was very boring?â
Xia Shiyu answered, âAfter todayâs events, we realized we are still very weak. Whenever you need help, we canât do anything. Before, when you asked us to cultivate, we didnât take it seriously, especially me.â
âI always thought I had good talent and could just cultivate casually in my free time. But today, we could only watch helplessly at the Qinâs. It made us feel very uncomfortable.â
âSo you rushed to the company to arrange things, just so you could cultivate more and help me in the future?â
The ladies nodded in unison.
Su Lin opened his mouth but ultimately nodded, âWhatever you decide to do, I support you, even if you choose not to cultivate. I can still protect you.â
âHehe~! Weâve never doubted that,â they said.
âAlright, letâs go to the Four Seasons Hotel now. Ziyu has booked a private room there. Itâs good that we donât have to cook today.â
Zhao Yanyan, with her arms crossed and long legs elegantly crossed, smiled and said, âSu Lin, that last sentence is your true intention, isnât it?â
âCough cough⦠How could that be? Cooking is my forte.â
âHehe, then letâs eat at the villa tonight. The chefs at the Four Seasons Hotel really canât compare to your cooking,â Zhao Yanyan continued.
âNo, no, no, letâs still go to the Four Seasons Hotel. Ziyu has already booked the room and is waiting for us. It wouldnât be nice not to go.â
âHeh~! Yanyan, stop teasing Su Lin. Heâs had a tough day today.â
Su Lin laughed, âXiaowan cares about me the most. Letâs go, letâs set off now.â
As Su Lin was driving to the Four Seasons Hotel, Xiao Feiyu was also driving there. Xiao Feiyu had obtained firsthand information about Su Lin and was convinced that the so-called protagonist must definitely be Su Lin.
At eighteen, with four girlfriends, entangled with the head of the Li family, Li Ziyu, and having enjoyed a pleasant conversation with Jiang Ruoxi just yesterday. He had killed the original protagonist, Xiao Chen.
Possessing terrifying martial prowess, suspected to be at the Grandmaster Great Perfection level. Not to mention his academic achievements, being the top science student in the entire Jiangnan Province.
With so many titles added to one person, he might as well be the protagonist even if he wasnât originally. Therefore, Xiao Feiyu immediately began to screen and eventually felt that Li Ziyu was a good target for pursuit.
As for the others, Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu, his high school classmates and lovers, were definitely unmovable. Zhao Yanyan was the same, Lin Xiaowanâs childhood friend.
As for Qin Jiuyue, Su Lin had already met the parents. So, after much consideration, Li Ziyu seemed to be the slightly easier option.
âYoung Master, why have you suddenly lost interest in that Xiao Chen?â
Xiao Feiyu indifferently responded, âXiao Quan, just drive, and donât ask what you shouldnât.â
âIâ¦â
Seeing Xiao Quanâs depressed face, Xiao Feiyu, remembering he had been following him for many years, then said, âThat Jiang Ruoxi doesnât give me face, is it wrong to chase another woman?â
âOf course, itâs not. With your reputation as the top prince of Modu, matching with a talented lady from the capital isnât too much.â
Xiao Feiyu snorted coldly, âXiao Quan, stop joking around. I know my reputation, the top lapdog of Modu.â
âCough cough coughâ¦â
âCough cough coughâ¦â
Seeing the two bodyguards trying to hold back their laughter, Xiao Feiyu felt somewhat helpless. Indeed, his predecessor had done too many absurd things, turning him into a joke in Modu.
The family couldnât stand it, seeing Xiao Feiyu, the major young master of the Xiao family, being laughed at. So, they took the initiative to arrange a marriage with the Jiang family, paying a huge price to maintain the Xiao familyâs reputation.
âI say, Jiang Ruoxi is indeed beautiful, but Li Ziyu isnât bad either, and sheâs the head of the Li family. Pursuing her wouldnât disgrace my status.â
Xiao Quan reminded him, âYoung Master, weâve already investigated. Li Ziyuâs relationship with that Su Lin is also unclear. There are rumors that Li Ziyuâs successful ascension to the head of the family was largely due to Su Lin. Going after her definitely wonât work.â
Xiao Feiyu laughed, âWho said Iâm going to pursue her right now? We need to investigate the situation first. Itâs better to see with your own eyes than hear a thousand times from others, understand?â
Seeing Xiao Feiyu actually serious, the two were surprised. Was he no longer pursuing Jiang Ruoxi? Or did he feel that Jiang Ruoxi was already secured, allowing him to reveal his true nature?
But Xiao Feiyu didnât show any special expressions, leaving them unable to figure out what he was really thinking.
At this time, Xiao Feiyu also knew that directly pursuing Li Ziyu wouldnât work, but he learned of an event happening tonight. Li Ziyu was hosting not only Su Lin but also his girlfriends. Such an occasion was more conducive for observing their relationships.
Meanwhile, Xiao Feiyu was filled with envy and jealousy towards Su Lin. At eighteen, the women by his side were all top-notch, with statuses, except for Xia Shiyu, being quite significant. Yet he, the top prince of Modu, was still a dog-licker.
Truly, comparing people can infuriate one to death.
Moreover, his fiancée Jiang Ruoxi had hit it off with Su Lin at their first meeting.
As a veteran reader, he knew too well how terrifying a person like Su Lin could be. So, to prevent his own corner from being dug, he had to dig into Su Linâs first. So, he was set on this course of action~!!
