Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

At the Donghai City Police Station, Lin Tian carefully examined the dossier regarding his father’s death.

The file was detailed, including witness testimonies, physical evidence, and more. He didn’t miss a single detail, scrutinizing each page thoroughly.

The conclusion he reached was consistent with the official judgment: Lin Yourong died in an accident.

On one hand, there was the evidence in front of him; on the other, his own judgment. Lin Tian trusted his judgment more.

As a businessman, he knew that it was possible to commit a murder without leaving any trace behind. He had done similar things in his previous life. With enough money, anything was possible.

“Xiao Tian, you’ve seen the dossier. Do you now believe that your dad really died in an accident?”

Lin Tian, who had perfected the art of maintaining his composure, nodded without revealing his emotions: “Uncle Zhao, I was overthinking things.”

“That’s good to understand. Your dad was just buried a few days ago. You should focus on getting ready for school. I’ll ask Yanyan to spend more time with you, have a good talk.”

Lin Tian gave a bitter smile. He knew how much Zhao Yanyan disliked him; it was already good if she didn’t scold him.

Wait a minute!!

A sudden idea for uncovering the murderer came to Lin Tian. He could use business tactics to investigate this matter: “Su’s Construction Group, Su Zhenguo, how should I deal with him? This needs a well-thought-out plan.”

“Uncle Zhao, I should go now. My mom is alone at home, and I’m worried about her.”

Zhao Tiande nodded: “Alright, Xiao Tian, go ahead. I’ll call you if there’s anything.”

“Thank you, Uncle Zhao.”

“Don’t mention it. You know the relationship between your dad and me.”

Lin Tian nodded and left without further delay. He needed to devise a foolproof plan to investigate his father’s death. If he acted rashly, he might end up in danger himself.

In the evening, at Su Lin’s villa.

“Cheers~!!”

“Cheers, happy birthday Su Lin, may you be happy for a lifetime.”

Su Lin, looking at the two women, said with a light smile: “If it’s like this for a lifetime, then I will definitely be happy forever.”

“Xiaoyu, you’ve mixed a lot of juice with your drink. How does it feel? Do you feel tipsy?” Su Lin asked with a smile.

Xia Shiyu shook her head: “With the juice mixed in, it doesn’t have that kind of effect. It’s sweet and sour and quite tasty.”

After a sip of the fruity wine, a faint blush appeared on Xia Shiyu’s face, turning her cheeks rosy. However, her eyes were still clear, showing she wasn’t lying about not being drunk.

“Anyway, it still contains alcohol, so you should drink less of it, just in case you get drunk.” Su Lin didn’t want Xia Shiyu to get drunk so early. What would they do later if she really got drunk?

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

“Xiaowan, you too, don’t drink too much just because you can handle your liquor.”

“Okay~!!”

Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu were different. Holding a glass of wine as if it were a soft drink, Lin Xiaowan seemed completely unaffected. Such was the difference in their constitutions.

After dinner, the two women insisted Su Lin cut the cake. Su Lin initially refused to eat cake so early, especially just after dinner. But unable to resist their persistence, he finally agreed.

Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu, one on each side, held Su Lin’s hands: “Happy birthday, Su Lin.”

Su Lin smiled knowingly at the two women: “With you two by my side, it’s hard not to be happy.”

“Hehe, hurry up and blow out the candles.”

“Yeah, Su Lin, blow out the candles.”

“Let’s blow them out together.”

Hearing this, the two women nodded, and the three of them leaned in together.

“Whoosh~!!!”

“Why did you keep your eyes open? Didn’t you make a wish?” Lin Xiaowan said with a hint of disappointment. This was such a good opportunity, and Su Lin just let it pass.

Su Lin chuckled: “Making a wish is something you keep in your heart. Xiaowan, Xiaoyu, I think I’ve already told you my wish. Whether it comes true or not depends on you two.”

“When did you tell me your wish?” Lin Xiaowan stopped mid-sentence as she remembered something Su Lin had mentioned before. Xia Shiyu, meanwhile, didn’t dare to look at Su Lin.

“Uh… think about it yourself. Such things lose their meaning when spoken out loud,” Su Lin said seriously.

Seeing Su Lin’s earnest expression, anyone who didn’t know better might think he was a real gentleman. Lin Xiaowan internally scoffed at Su Lin. This guy’s wish was practically a trap.

“Alright, let’s have the cake. Xiaowan, get the plates.”

Lin Xiaowan then picked up the plates and placed them in front of Su Lin.

“I’ll take the first piece for myself, then it’s your turn. Is that okay?” Su Lin asked with a smile.

Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu both shook their heads. Xia Shiyu’s face was a bit flushed from the alcohol she had during dinner. Although she had diluted it with a lot of juice, her body type was typically prone to getting drunk easily, so the effects were starting to show.

“Xiaoyu, you seem to be feeling the alcohol. Why don’t you rest on the sofa for a bit?” Lin Xiaowan, an experienced drinker, immediately noticed Xia Shiyu’s condition.

“No, I’m fine…” Before Xia Shiyu could finish speaking, she stumbled and nearly fell, but Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan quickly caught her.

“Su Lin, what should we do now?” Lin Xiaowan asked with a bit of a headache.

“Just take Xiaoyu to the guest room to rest. She probably won’t wake up until tomorrow morning,” Su Lin suggested calmly.

Lin Xiaowan glanced doubtfully at Xia Shiyu, who had only drunk a bit of fruit wine mixed with juice. Was the aftereffect really that strong?

Without thinking too much, she and Su Lin helped Xia Shiyu to the guest room and settled her in.

After finally getting Xia Shiyu settled, Lin Xiaowan returned to the living room where Su Lin handed her a can of cola.

“Phew, Xiaoyu looks so thin, but she’s actually quite heavy.”

Su Lin laughed: “That’s because you’re not strong enough, you can’t blame Xiaoyu for being heavy.”

“This girl, getting drunk so early. We were even planning to go sing karaoke, and now that’s not happening.”

Su Lin glanced at the clock: “It’s already nine, too late for karaoke. It’ll be midnight by the time we’re done.”

“Yeah, well, you’re the birthday boy, so it’s your call,” Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Su Lin leaned closer to Lin Xiaowan: “Xiaowan, so you really mean I get to decide?”

“Uh…” Lin Xiaowan saw the flickering flame in Su Lin’s eyes: “Su… Su Lin…”

“What’s up, Xiaowan?”

“I… I… My parents aren’t home tonight.” As soon as she said it, Lin Xiaowan wished she could slap herself. She couldn’t believe she had said those words.

A smile crept onto Su Lin’s lips. Her words were indeed thought-provoking. He leaned in again, their faces so close that each could clearly see the other’s fair skin. “Xiaowan, then… would you like to stay over tonight?”

“I…”

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiaowan suddenly hugged Su Lin tightly, burying her head in his chest: “Let’s not talk anymore, please.”

Taken aback, Su Lin then scooped Lin Xiaowan up in a princess carry: “Okay, I won’t talk.”

“Where… where are we going?”

“Upstairs, to sleep!!!”

“…”
