Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Su Lin didn't expect Xiao Chen to have saved Blood Rose so soon and use her to seek revenge. It was indeed the style of a protagonist.

However, Su Lin already had a complete plan in his mind. He intended to set a trap for Xiao Chen, the kind that would leave him speechless.

After Luo Sihai finished his phone call and returned, he asked, “Boss, that Li family kid is still gambling. Do you want me to take action now?”

Su Lin waved his hand, “No rush, just watch for now.”

“Watch?”

Su Lin nodded, not elaborating. Luo Sihai might not understand Su Lin's plan, but he had already adjusted his attitude to follow Su Lin's lead without question.

Blood Rose quickly caught Li Ziyen's attention – her allure was irresistible, drawing the eyes of everyone at the table.

Li Ziyen, trying to act like a gentleman, asked her, “Beautiful lady, are you alone?”

Having been abandoned by his family, Li Ziyen was ready to live a carefree life, relying on Li Ziyu for his expenses.

Blood Rose smiled slightly, “What else?” It’s not like I can suddenly become two people.” She then changed her posture, resting her chin in her hand, glancing at him.

Li Ziyen prided himself on being experienced with women, but even he felt overwhelmed by Blood Rose. He flirted, “You're quite interesting, miss.”

Confident due to his 'relationship' with Luo Sihai, Li Ziyen boldly grabbed Blood Rose's hand, mistaking her for one of the women arranged by Luo to accompany gamblers.

Blood Rose forcefully withdrew her hand, coquettishly saying, “Sir, I don't even know your name yet, and you're already getting handsy?”

Li Ziyen replied, “My name? Just a down-and-out rich second-generation, not worth mentioning.”

Blood Rose insisted, “But that's basic courtesy in making friends.” Blood Rose had easily confirmed Li Ziyen's identity, as the men of these families often appeared in various news stories.

“Alright, since you're so curious, I'll tell you. I'm Li Ziyen of the Li family.”

Blood Rose probed, “Li family's young master, indeed a rich second-generation. But why the 'down-and-out' part?”

Li Ziyen was smitten by Blood Rose's every gesture and didn't feel any anger. Unaware of Blood Rose's murderous intent, Li Ziyen was completely under her charm.

Blood Rose wanted to kill him right there but remembered Xiao Chen wanted him alive, so she restrained herself.

“So what if I'm the young master? I'm just another second-generation waiting to inherit. By the way, now that I've told you my name, shouldn't you tell me yours?”

“You can call me Rose,” Blood Rose said coolly.

“Rose? Got it, those in your line of work don't use real names, only codenames,” Li Ziyen understood.

Blood Rose nodded, “Correct, we use codenames in our line of work.”

“Heh, how about you play a few rounds with me, Rose? I'll help you win some money.”

“Sure~!!”

Seeing them getting along, Su Lin turned to Luo Sihai, “Check if Li Ziyen brought any bodyguards with him.”

Luo Sihai immediately replied, “I have already checked. He came alone today to gamble, without any bodyguards.”

“Oh~!! I see.”

“Arrange for this young master to lose money, as much as possible. Then have some thugs hassle him.”

Luo Sihai understood and signaled a subordinate to make arrangements for Li Ziyen. With the house's manipulation, Li Ziyen began losing money, while those around him, betting the opposite, kept winning.

Half an hour later, Li Ziyen couldn't take it anymore. His allowance, though substantial to ordinary people, was insufficient for his lifestyle. He grabbed Blood Rose, patting her buttocks, “Let's go, beautiful.” I'll take you somewhere exciting.”

Blood Rose stood up, following Li Ziyen, her eyes flashing coldly. No one in the assassin organization dared treat her this way.

Xiao Chen had asked for him alive if possible, but dead if necessary. Initially, Blood Rose didn't want to kill Li Ziyen, but at that moment, she changed her mind. Li Ziyen must die.

“Boss, they're leaving.”

Su Lin waved, “No rush. Just have someone keep an eye on that woman. They don't need to follow her closely, just a casual glance to know her approximate location.”

“Understood, my men are professionals at this,” Luo Sihai said confidently.

Su Lin chuckled, “Call Li Ziyu and tell her to bring the money for the Beihai land deal to meet you. If she ignores you, tell her you're working for me now, and the entire Sihai Group is under my command. She'll come."

“If she agrees, tell her I have another deal to discuss with her.”

“Understood, boss. I'll do it right away.”

After finishing his call, Luo Sihai dialed Li Ziyu's office. He didn't have her personal number but easily got through on the official line.

Initially, Li Ziyu refused, but upon hearing Luo Sihai had pledged allegiance to Su Lin, she hesitated and then agreed to his request.

In Li's Group headquarters, Li Ziyu hung up the phone, frowning, “Why would Luo Sihai choose Su Lin over Su Zhenguo?”

She was surprised at how quickly the world had changed overnight. Su Lin, an unexpected player, had suddenly entered the game.

She had heard of Su Lin before, especially during the opening of Quan Le Gou Donghai branch when Qin Gong personally sent him a flower basket.

When news of Su Lin's involvement in the opening of that Donghai branch was reported to Li Ziyu, she didn't pay much attention, focusing more on the sudden emergence of 4G communication technology and Su Zhenguo's rise to prominence.

She only knew of Su Lin as the owner of Quan Le Gou and the son of Su Zhenguo.

However, now hearing that Luo Sihai had pledged allegiance to Su Lin, she began to take the name Su Lin seriously for the first time, realizing that he might be more than meets the eye.

“Xiaomei, prepare the car for me. I need to go out in five minutes, and arrange some bodyguards,” Li Ziyu instructed her assistant.

“Okay, General Manager!”

After hanging up the phone, Li Ziyu began to analyze Su Lin's intentions. It was one thing for Su Lin to ask her to deliver money, but another to discuss additional business.

What could Su Lin possibly want to discuss, given that Su Zhenguo was handling the 4G communication pilot project? Her mind raced, piecing together recent events.

Meanwhile, Li Ziyen had left the casino with Blood Rose. He proudly showed off his Ferrari to her, expecting her to be impressed like other women, either screaming in excitement or fawning over him. He was mistaken.

Blood Rose merely glanced at the car and said, “I've driven this model before.”

Surprised, Li Ziyen doubted her, “You're sure you can handle a sports car like this?”

Blood Rose nodded confidently, “Of course.” Don't believe me? Let me show you.”

“Great, I’d love to see your driving skills,” Li Ziyen said, pleased. He thought the Ferrari was alluring and fun to drive, but also high-maintenance.

As Li Ziyen gallantly opened the car door, Blood Rose’s murderous intent surged. Once he got into the car, she would make her move.

Just as Li Ziyen settled into the car, a flash of silver light zipped by. He clutched his neck, eyes wide with shock, staring at Blood Rose.

Blood Rose spoke coldly, “Your mistake was touching what you shouldn’t have.”

Li Ziyen could only gasp in horror.
