Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Jiang Yixian’s Scheming

“Aunt Su, how do you feel now?”

He Suxin introspectively felt the changes in her body and then said, “This breakthrough indeed brought significant changes. The most direct feeling is that my senses have sharpened considerably, and my vitality has become more vigorous.”

Su Lin smiled, “That’s right, Aunt Su, you are now a true powerhouse.”

He Suxin smiled, “I approached this with a mindset of just giving it a try, never expecting it to actually succeed. Su Lin, I owe you a huge favor this time.”

Su Lin waved his hand, “It’s not much about me. You have a solid foundation, Aunt Su. I just gave you a little push.”

“That’s not how you should say it. Without your help, even ten more years wouldn’t have led to a breakthrough. Nowadays, everyone is so secretive about their methods of breaking through, only you are willing to share,” He Suxin sighed.

Her strength wasn’t the only thing that had improved; even her mindset had undergone significant changes.

Su Lin nodded and sighed, “That’s the nature of people. Everyone is afraid of being surpassed, especially by someone younger with better talent. Most old timers are upset about it.”

“Hehe… if those old monsters knew what you just said, they might challenge you to a fight.”

Su Lin confidently said, “Fight? I’m not afraid at all, in fact, I’m eager to try.”

Having just broken through, Su Lin was eager to test his strength, feeling unprecedentedly powerful, yet without a benchmark.

“With your trouble-making nature, there will be plenty of fights for you in the future. I’ve sensed a few familiar auras; I’ll go send them off now.”

“Alright, Aunt Su, go ahead.”

He Suxin nodded, picked up her long sword, pushed open the window, and flew out.

Su Lin shook his head and chuckled, “It seems those with power really don’t follow the usual paths. I like climbing out of windows too.”

After leaving the office, Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan quickly gathered around.

“Su Lin, how is Aunt Su?”

“She has successfully broken through and is now going to test her strength,” Su Lin replied.

“Test her strength?”

Su Lin nodded, “With such a commotion, and with so many people in Donghai, do you think they wouldn’t have noticed?”

“Ah!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for others to protect her. See, none of them has appeared before us, right?” Su Lin smiled.

“Others? Who are they?” Lin Xiaowan asked curiously.

“That will take some time to explain,” Su Lin said, pretending to be mysterious.

“Ugh… then keep it short.”

“It can’t be kept short. How about this? I’ll explain it in detail tonight?” Su Lin raised his eyebrows playfully.

The current Lin Xiaowan was even more stunning, like a magnificent peony, exuding an aura of grandeur and luxury. Su Lin thought she was naturally charismatic. If she had been raised in ancient times, she could have easily dominated as an empress.

“Don’t… Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning.”

“That won’t do. I’ve already unilaterally decided.” Su Lin clapped his hands.

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin, “I’m going to process some documents. The deadline is approaching fast. Is your system finished? Don’t drag us down later.”

Su Lin laughed heartily, “Me, drag you down? What are you thinking? The system was completed a long time ago.”

“Completed? How is that possible?” Lin Xiaowan covered her mouth in disbelief.

“Why not? Don’t forget, your husband is a genius,” Su Lin bragged.

However, this time Lin Xiaowan didn’t argue with Su Lin. If his talent in cultivation was genius-level, she could accept that. But he hadn’t formally studied system programming; he just started coding on his own and completed what would normally require a whole studio by himself.

The key point was, she often saw Su Lin so idle, coming to work as if he were on vacation.

“How did you do it?” Lin Xiaowan asked in astonishment.

“What do you mean, ‘how’?”

“You know what I’m asking.”

“So, are we still on for a candlelight chat tonight?” Su Lin asked with a sly grin.

Seeing Su Lin like this, Lin Xiaowan huffed, “I don’t want to know anymore.” With that, she walked out of the office.

Su Lin found it amusing; the girl was even throwing a tantrum. So, he followed Lin Xiaowan to her office.

At the Jiang family’s temporary residence in Donghai…

Jiang Yixian burst through the gates like a whirlwind, causing Jiang Fengyi and Jiang Ruoxi to come out from the villa.

“Yixian, what’s going on? Weren’t you just gathering information? Why the rush?” Jiang Fengyi asked, puzzled.

Jiang Ruoxi also added, “Uncle, is there a dog chasing you? You’re running so fast.”

Jiang Yixian ignored their questions and instead turned to Jiang Ruoxi with some excitement, “Ruoxi, aren’t you quite close to that young man from the Su family?”

“I do know Su Lin, and we get along okay. What’s up, Uncle, did you cross Su Lin?” Jiang Ruoxi asked, shocked.

She was no longer the newbie in Donghai and was somewhat aware of Su Lin’s deeds. If Jiang Yixian had crossed Su Lin, the outcome could indeed be dicey.

Although their levels were the same, Su Lin had his supporters, and the Jiang family might not necessarily assist Jiang Yixian.

Jiang Yixian shook his head, “Today two peak grandmaster broke through, I’ve investigated thoroughly. The aura came from the Su Corporation building, and mostly ordinary people occupy the Su building, only Su Lin and his girlfriend practice ancient martial arts.”

“Both auras were extremely unfamiliar, so I suspect they might be Su Lin’s elders breaking through at the Su building.”

Jiang Fengyi first frowned deeply, then quickly relaxed, “Yixian, are you suggesting that people from Su Lin’s sect were involved?”

Jiang Yixian nodded, “Both auras were unfamiliar, and I’m certain I’ve never encountered them before. I consider myself well-traveled in the capital, but today’s auras were shockingly powerful, especially the first one; simply terrifying.”

“For such individuals to choose to break through at this time, and in the Su building, it’s hard not to think it relates back to Su Lin’s mysterious sect. Remember, his sect hasn’t been revealed yet, it’s very secretive.”

Jiang Fengyi furrowed his brow, “Choosing this moment to break through, do you think it was intentional or coincidental?”

Jiang Yixian shook his head, “I doubt it’s coincidental. The Su family has long been targeted by major families, but because these clans are disunited, and because Su Zhenguo is very adept at his dealings, tying the Su family’s business with national interests, otherwise they would have been wiped clean by now.”

“Su Lin revealing a bit of strength now is likely meant as a warning.”

Jiang Fengyi nodded, “Indeed, that aligns with what I was thinking.”

At this, Jiang Ruoxi couldn’t help but interject, “Uncle, we were asking why you rushed back, and here you are going off on a tangent.”

Jiang Yixian chuckled wryly, “Ruoxi, you’re still as impatient as ever, even at your age. I rushed back because I need a favor from you.”

Jiang Ruoxi looked puzzled, “A favor? What can I possibly help you with?”

Although Jiang Ruoxi had trained, she was nowhere near Jiang Yixian’s level; she couldn’t be of any help, and even less so in other areas. That’s why she was so baffled.

Jiang Yixian smiled, “I’d like you to get closer to Su Lin, help me get an introduction to those elders, maybe they can clear up some doubts I have.”

Jiang Ruoxi was then left speechless…
