Chapter 152

Li Ziyu knew the matter behind this was not as simple as it seemed. Particularly concerning Xiao Chen, why he targeted Li Ziyen surely had its reasons, likely involving Su Lin. But what of it now? The problem is Li Ziyen is dead, and the one who acted is her fiancé, to whom she is betrothed.

The willingness to act is no longer important.

The important thing is he killed his own brother. For this reason alone, if she doesn’t resolve it quickly, she will soon be ousted from the core circle, no matter how outstanding she is.

There’s an unwritten rule in big families about fighting for power and profit; at least, you cannot openly kill your own kin.

Otherwise, how can everyone continue playing this game? Xiao Chen having someone kill Li Ziyen was committing a taboo.

As for Su Lin, whatever his purpose, it will gradually reveal itself. Li Ziyu is not in a hurry. Exiting the resting room, she immediately picked up the phone to call home, asking for quick arrangements.

Meanwhile, Su Lin was eagerly anticipating Xiao Chen’s performance today: “Now that Xiao Chen, both the assassin group and the Li family will trouble you. You’re about to lose both your assassin wife and your legitimate wife, tsk tsk... I almost feel bad for bullying you further.”

When Luo Sihai returned to the resting room, he saw the check on the table. “Boss, did you get the money?”

Su Lin nodded: “Every penny retrieved, and with this money, you can properly manage your company now.”

“The money you retrieved, I shouldn’t take it.” Luo Sihai knew if not for Su Lin, his own life would be in jeopardy, so he didn’t rush to grab the check.

Su Lin laughed: “No need, the money was yours to begin with. Just handle the task I assigned to you. By the way, did you tell Li Ziyu about that woman’s location?”

Luo Sihai nodded: “Told her already, and she rushed off in a hurry.”

“Heh, to trick such a beautiful woman, am I not too unscrupulous?” After saying this, Su Lin looked towards Luo Sihai: “The fire isn’t big enough yet. Go and fan the flames, spread the news that Li Ziyen died in his car, done by the assassin group’s defected Silver-ranked assassin, Blood Rose, under the orders of Li Ziyu’s fiancé, Xiao Chen.”

This statement contained a lot of information, leaving Luo Sihai somewhat overwhelmed: “Boss, is... is this true?”

Su Lin nodded: “Of course, that woman just now, she is Blood Rose.”

“But how could it be like this?”

“There’s already Xiaowan and Xiaoyu at home, and there’s me here. The Qin family has a little princess who is also ambiguously involved with him, is this really okay for me? Maybe I should buy a box to try?”

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanyan’s face turned red. Although she didn’t know how Su Lin would react to seeing her in stockings, she was sure he would do something bad. But she was also somewhat looking forward to it.

“President Zhao, is there any problem with these stockings?”

Zhao Yanyan shook her head; “No problem, I’m just not sure about the quality of these stockings. I’ll take a pair back to try on. If the quality is bad, we’ll remove them from the shelves.”

“President Zhao will try them personally?” The assistant nearby was somewhat stunned.

Zhao Yanyan nodded; “Yes, I must try them personally. We can’t let products with quality issues enter the market. Xiao Zhao, go pay for this box of stockings.”

“Alright~!!”

Watching the assistant leave, Zhao Yanyan, with a blushing face, looked around to make sure no one was watching before taking the box to her office. Thinking back on the excuses she made to avoid embarrassment, Zhao Yanyan felt a bit flushed; she had never made such pretentious statements before.

“Su Lin, it’s all your fault. Why do you have such strange hobbies?” Zhao Yanyan ran to the office and threw the stockings on the desk, now regretting her words and bringing the box to the office.

The words were out; to wear them or not? However, before she could decide, the office door opened. The only person who could enter her office without knocking was Su Lin. After delegating the follow-up tasks to Luo Sihai, Su Lin came back alone. Just as he was about to speak to Zhao Yanyan, he noticed the box of black silk on her desk.

Su Lin quickly picked up the box; “Yanyan, you are indeed my good Yanyan, finally seeing it through, huh.”

“Ah~!! Su Lin, when did you come in?” Zhao Yanyan was startled to see Su Lin and the box of stockings in his hand.

Su Lin chuckled; “Just now, I was about to knock, but as soon as my hand touched the door, it opened automatically, so I walked in.” He waved the box in his hand at Zhao Yanyan; “Yanyan, heh heh~! You bought these black silk stockings especially for me, didn’t you?”

Zhao Yanyan, embarrassed, retorted; “For you, yes, for you. Go ahead and wear them. There’s a rest room here. Hurry up and change. I really want to see what a big man looks like in black silk.”

Su Lin walked up to Zhao Yanyan, placed the box in her arms; “Of course, it’s more suitable for you to wear these.”

“No... I won’t wear them!!” Zhao Yanyan turned her face away, looking out the window. Su Lin chuckled, whispered a few words in her ear.

Zhao Yanyan’s breathing relaxed, but she still looked out the window, ignoring Su Lin, knowing that it was not a good time to speak, as negotiating conditions wouldn’t go well then.

Su Lin narrowed his eyes; this level of favorability wasn’t enough, but that made it more interesting, didn’t it?
