Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 199: I traveled through time, and you're telling me the protagonist is dead?

After discussing with Qin Deshu and Li Ziyu, Su Lin took Lin Xiaowan, Xia Shiyu, and Zhao Yanyan to the company, leaving the rest to Su Zhenguo. Now that he finally had a break, of course, he needed to rest properly.

“Su Lin, I forgot to ask back at the Qin's, where's Aunt Su? Why didn't she come back with you? She didn’t run into trouble, did she?” Lin Xiaowan asked worriedly.

Su Lin smiled and reassured, “Don't worry, she's so formidable, how could anything happen to her? She's just gone to Jingzhou on my request.”

“What did you send her to Jingzhou for?”

Su Lin sighed, “It's for the sake of your cultivation resources. Even though I have money now, it's hard to get those resources. So, I sent Song Zhigang to take over the Song family. Once he's in charge, he'll send resources over periodically, and you won't have to worry about cultivation anymore.”

Xia Shiyu was moved, “Su Lin, I didn't expect you to think so far ahead. We never considered this.”

Su Lin shook his head, “Donghai will become increasingly chaotic. I must find a way to strengthen you all, to at least have the power to protect yourselves.”

“Aunt Su is probably on a plane now; she'll be in Jingzhou for a while. Once Song Zhigang has fully stabilized his position, she will probably leave,” Su Lin explained.

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin, “You don't need to be so thoughtful for us. We have our ways to get cultivation resources.”

Su Lin laughed, “You getting them means asking your families, right? From the capital to Donghai is far and troublesome. It's easier if I handle it, and this way, we can also solve the issues in Handong Province. I think it's a good plan.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded, understanding Su Lin's intentions. Besides not being able to give them a complete relationship, Su Lin wanted to give them the best in other aspects.

“Now, at least we don't have to worry about your safety.”

Su Lin chuckled, “That's not necessarily true. Xiao Chen has a master who hasn’t shown up yet, the famous Ghost Doctor.”

“He has a master who hasn’t come yet?” Lin Xiaowan's spirits fell, a bit disheartened.

“Don't worry so much,” Su Lin smiled. “Wang Yannian is now obsessed with the Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill. He might not only avoid conflict with me but even come to seek my advice.”

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin's smile, feeling he had something else he hadn't told them. But since Su Lin didn't say, there must be a reason, so she didn't press further.

Zhao Yanyan spoke, “Anyway, now that Xiao Chen and the Song family's troubles are finally resolved, we can rest easy. This is indeed something to be happy about.”

“Right, so let's head to the company first, and tonight, we'll have a big meal at the Four Seasons Hotel.”

“Wow~! Su Lin, are you treating?”

Su Lin shook his head, “Of course not, it's Ziyu who's treating.” She gained a lot today, so she insisted on treating us at the Four Seasons Hotel.”

“Yay~!”

“Yay~!!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Su Lin, what are you talking about?”

“Cough cough… Nothing.”

The news of the Song family's downfall in Donghai spread quickly, with various versions of the story. Everyone knew that Song Zhiming was dead, and his loyalists were dead too. People thought they could divide the Song family's assets, but then Song Zhigang suddenly appeared.

Everyone then realized why Song Zhiming came to Donghai in the first place; it turned out to be an internal family struggle. Suddenly, many became curious about Song Zhigang.

With the Li family, Qin family, and Su Lin making a move, and the mysterious Grandmaster of Great Perfection following, what background did this guy have?

Only a few major families knew that this was all orchestrated by Su Lin. Song Zhigang was just a puppet Su Lin put in front, with Su Lin being the real mastermind behind the scenes.

In the office of the general manager of Feiyu Entertainment Company. Xiao Feiyu had just been brought back from the police station by two bodyguards. Jiang Ruoxi scolded him again when she went to sign the understanding document, mocking and ridiculing him.

Xiao Feiyu's self-esteem was finally hurt, and he locked himself in the office. After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Feiyu, who had been resting on the desk, opened his eyes.

He held his head in pain, and after a few minutes, he looked at his hands and muttered, “I can't believe I've traveled to the world of a novel.”

“Interesting, Xiao Chen, huh? The protagonist of this book, and I’m a rich second-generation villain in the middle of the story, destined to be killed by this guy.”

Xiao Feiyu had absorbed the memories of his predecessor, who was infatuated with Jiang Ruoxi.

“Jiang Ruoxi? Tch... Just a direct daughter of a major family. Xiao Feiyu was at least the top prince of Modu, to end up as a dog-licker.”

Xiao Feiyu scoffed, “I can't admire anything about my predecessor's deeds. As the top rich second-generation of Modu, what kind of woman can't I have? Although Jiang Ruoxi is famous in Modu, almost as much as him, so what? In the world of this novel, if there’s anything lacking, it’s definitely not stunning beauties.”

[Ding~! Detecting the host's strong dissatisfaction and unwillingness, the Tall-Rich-Handsome Villain System has been bound!!!].

Hearing the system's voice, Xiao Feiyu was ecstatic. Back on Earth, he often read novels in his free time and longed for a system. He never expected that after traveling to a parallel world, from a nobody to a rich and handsome guy, he would also be granted a system.

Xiao Feiyu laughed loudly, “Hahaha~! Xiao Chen, the so-called protagonist, is nothing. The real protagonist is me, Xiao Feiyu. Fate is mine!!!”

Thinking of his tragic end in the original story, Xiao Feiyu finally felt some comfort, no longer worried about dying.

“System, is there a newbie gift pack?”

[Ding~!! Newbie gift pack has been delivered.]. [Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill – Wing Chun!]. [Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill Suit Thug. (Wearing a suit doubles combat effectiveness.)]. [Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining cash – one billion.]. [Ding~! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Lamborghini Veneno.].

“Damn, Veneno, isn't this the must-have god car in wish-fulfillment novels? Not bad, system, explain your functions.”

[The system aims to cultivate the host into a tall-rich-handsome villain. As the name suggests, the host only needs to conquer the heroine, or slap the protagonist's face, snatch the protagonist's opportunities to gain villain points. Villain points can be used to purchase skills in the system shop…].

Xiao Feiyu browsed the system shop in his spare time, his eyes dazzled by the variety of skills, cultivation methods, elixirs, and treasures.

“System, why are the cultivation methods and treasures all greyed out?”

[The host needs to unlock them to gain the rights to purchase cultivation methods and treasures, and unlocking requires villain points.].

Xiao Feiyu nodded, “Got it, so just keep slapping the protagonist's face, conquering heroines, or snatching the protagonist's chances, right? Having read novels and having a system, this is going to be easy.”

At this moment, Xiao Feiyu was completely inflated. He felt he was the protagonist of this world, destined to defeat Xiao Chen and take all of Xiao Chen's women.

As for Jiang Ruoxi, she's the soul of this book, the woman neither the protagonist Xiao Chen nor he had conquered. Conquering such a woman would be more interesting.

Xiao Feiyu thought his predecessor failed because he was too low, a rich second-generation living as a lapdog, but he was different; he was a transmigrator. He didn't need to be a lapdog to still take Jiang Ruoxi into his harem.

“According to the plot, I'll meet Xiao Chen in three days, then get slapped in the face by his show-off?”

“Heh~!!”

“Xiao Quan, come in.”

Xiao Quan, hearing Xiao Feiyu call him, finally relaxed a lot. He had been with Xiao Feiyu for many years, knowing that as long as it didn't involve Jiang Ruoxi, Xiao Feiyu was a normal person. But whenever Jiang Ruoxi was involved, Xiao Feiyu would turn into a mad dog.

Xiao Quan entered the office, stopped in front of Xiao Feiyu, hesitated, then said, “Young Master Xiao, we just received news. Today, that Su Lin, with people from the Qin and Li families, eliminated Song Zhiming of the Song family, and even Ghost Doctor's disciple Xiao Chen was killed by his partner Song Zhigang.”

“If you ask me, Su Lin’s background must be extraordinary. Perhaps we need to rethink our approach.”

Xiao Feiyu was stunned, then widened his eyes, “Xiao Chen is dead, are you sure?”

He was dumbfounded. Xiao Chen was the protagonist of this novel, his sworn enemy, who eventually rallied several major families to ruin the Xiao family. His beloved Jiang Ruoxi was indifferent to his pleas.

Although the predecessor really asked for it, they had grown up together, if not childhood sweethearts, then at least childhood friends. And Jiang Ruoxi just watched as his family was destroyed.

Now, having just transmigrated, he hadn’t even confronted Xiao Chen yet, and Xiao Chen was already dead. How was he supposed to be the villain, how to slap Xiao Chen’s face, how to conquer the heroines, how to gain villain points?

Xiao Feiyu suddenly felt lost and directionless.

“I’ve transmigrated, become a villain, but you’re telling me the protagonist is dead?”

Xiao Quan nodded, “It’s confirmed, Xiao Chen is indeed dead. Young Master, did you know him?”

Xiao Feiyu shook his head, slumped back into his chair, his eyes unfocused, the whole person dazed.
