Chapter 162
[Ding~! Due to the death of the male supporting character Zhong Xincheng, the Zhong family's side story automatically disappears. The female supporting character, Zhong Shuhui, makes an early appearance. The protagonist Xiao Chen's luck is reduced by five percent. The host receives one epic lottery draw.].Lying in bed preparing to sleep, Su Lin then realized who the white-haired old man he had killed was.
“I didn't expect that old man to be Zhong Xincheng. How did he appear so many chapters early and get killed by me? Zhong Shuhui making an early appearance is troublesome. This woman is not easy to deal with.”
Zhong Shuhui, a sophomore at Donghai University, was already involved in research with her advisor at just nineteen years old. With a high IQ and a logical approach to things, she rarely acted on emotion. She was also a martial arts master, specializing in Chen-style Tai Chi and was the president of Donghai University's martial arts club.
Although not very popular at Donghai University, her beauty was unquestionable.
Thinking about this female supporting character appearing, Su Lin wasn't too perturbed. If Xiao Chen uses her to seek revenge on him, Su Lin wouldn't hold back.
Su Lin was unaware that the events of tonight were equivalent to an earthquake in Donghai City.
Families such as the Qin, Li, and Huang families all received the news that a great battle had occurred in the suburbs of Donghai City, involving a Grandmaster.
Qin Deshu was shocked upon receiving the news, as he had sent people to profit from the chaos, only to witness several Grandmasters in action instead.
“That Su Lin, so young and already a Grandmaster. No wonder Su Zhenguo has been so successful over the years. But who did he learn his martial arts from?”Qin Delin shook his head: “Big brother, why do you need to dig so deep into it? If he's a Grandmaster, let him be.”
Qin Deshu retorted, “If you were willing to take over the family business, I wouldn't need to worry so much. Su Lin is too mysterious, and he's getting close to our Xiaoyue. How can I not be concerned?”
Qin Delin laughed: “You're overthinking. Su Lin is only eighteen and already a Grandmaster. What could he possibly want?”
“Want what? Maybe he's after Xiaoyue herself?”
Qin Deshu's words hung in the air.
Indeed, with Su Lin being a Grandmaster and coming from a wealthy family backed by 4G communication technology, destined to be one of Xia Country's top tycoons, he wouldn't be after their family's wealth. That left only one possibility.
Qin Jiuyue was naturally beautiful and carried an air of nobility, universally praised by those who met her. Su Lin liking Qin Jiuyue seemed not at all surprising.
“If that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to match them. The Su family only has Su Zhenguo and Su Lin, and their future assets could very well become part of the Qin family.”
Qin Delin slapped his forehead: “Big brother, can you not be so mercenary, focusing only on the money? What matters is Su Lin himself. As far as I know, Su Lin has a girlfriend, one of whom is from the Lin family in the capital, not any less significant than our family.”
“The Lin family from the capital? When did Su Lin get involved with the Lin family?”
“Have you forgotten about that person from Zhongjiang?”
Hearing this, Qin Deshu fell silent. The Lin family from the capital was a very low-profile family, rarely mentioned. Someone like Lin Guoqiang would be considered a significant figure in Jiangnan Province, yet he chose to focus solely on his business.
“Should we just let this opportunity slip by? A Grandmaster at eighteen? If he breaks through to become an immortal by forty, he could protect the Qin family for two hundred years.”
Qin Delin laughed: “What's the big deal? Have you ever seen a scion of a prominent family with only one wife?”
“Hehe... Right, just a girlfriend, nothing's set in stone yet. Old Three, call Xiaoyue later; I have something to instruct her.”
Qin Delin waved his hand: “Come on, what instructions?” Wouldn't it be better to let Xiaoyue develop her own relationships? What era are we living in? Ever heard of free love?”
“Look at you, Old Three, now lecturing me.”
…
The next day, Zhao Yanyan was started to see Su Lin sound asleep in the break room. “Su Lin, you didn't go home last night? Why are you sleeping in the break room?”
Seeing it was already past 8 o'clock, Su Lin said: “Yanyan, you're early. Did you get enough rest?”
Zhao Yanyan laughed: “Of course, eight hours of sleep is enough for me. Su Lin, you weren't planning on doing something bad, right? I’m telling you, absolutely not in the early morning.”
“Cough, cough, cough... Yanyan, do you really see me as that kind of person? It’s just your little assistant standing up for you, saying I don’t give you time off and you’re exhausted lately.”
Zhao Yanyan massaged her temples: “I'm tired, but it's not because of work. It's all your fault.”
“Uh… okay.”
“And why are there so many stockings in my drawer?” Zhao Yanyan glared at Su Lin fiercely.
She was shocked when she opened her drawer yesterday, finding all kinds of stockings – black, white, fishnets, and so on. Su Lin really enjoys this, doesn't he?
If the assistant finds out, she'll never hear the end of it.
“This wasn't me. If I bought them, I wouldn't buy other colors; they were all sent by your little assistant,” Su Lin said with a laugh.
“Ah, it was Xiao Zhao who sent them,” Zhao Yanyan blushed with embarrassment. She remembered telling her assistant to test the quality of the stockings.
Su Lin nodded, “Yes, all sent by her.”
Zhao Yanyan covered her face, “Why didn't she say anything?”
Su Lin laughed, “You were resting at that time, why would she say anything? Besides, I think it’s pretty good, we can try them later.”
“Try my ass!” Zhao Yanyan gave Su Lin a look, “I'm going to throw them away now.”
Su Lin quickly got up, “No, don't throw them away, that would be such a waste.”
Zhao Yanyan gave him another look, “Keeping them is even more of a waste.” Have you ever seen someone who only wears stockings once? Others can wear them for a long time, but here they’re disposable.”
After saying that, Zhao Yanyan realized what she said was somewhat inappropriate, then glared at Su Lin fiercely, “Aren't you going out today? To see the Qin family’s little princess or the Li family’s female CEO?”
Su Lin grinned, “I don't have plans today. Besides, it's so hot outside, why go out? I’ll stay in the office with you, enjoy the air conditioning, isn’t it nice?”
“I seriously doubt your true purpose is to do something naughty. Alright, but let's make it clear, you can do whatever you want in the office, just don't disturb my work.”
Su Lin raised his hand, “Don't worry, I won't disturb your work.”
Seeing that, Zhao Yanyan nodded in satisfaction and began her day's work.
Su Lin saw Zhao Yanyan working seriously and really didn't disturb her. Instead, he went to wash his hands, ready to draw a lottery.
“System, I want to draw.”
[Ding~! Congratulations to the host for drawing a Tesla new energy vehicle blueprint.]. [Ding~! An exquisite item is born, congratulations to the host for drawing the complete version of the Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra (Ancient Tomb Sect martial art, teachable to females)]Seeing the Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra, Su Lin was stunned. This technique could be considered a dual cultivation method in martial arts, and it's the complete version, meaning it includes both the Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra and the Jade Maiden's Sword Technique.
This means he could teach it to Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu for their cultivation. Thinking about the two of them combining their swords, Su Lin was excited!!!
The most important thing was that Su Lin wouldn't have to worry about the safety of the women around him anymore.
Thinking about Zhao Yanyan's 99% affection, Su Lin thought it might not be a bad idea to teach her as well since she was practically his, and at 99%, they were already bound by life and death.
Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu could definitely be taught as well. As for Qin Jiuyue and Li Ziyu, they definitely couldn't for now.
After realizing all this, Su Lin looked towards Zhao Yanyan.
Feeling Su Lin's gaze, Zhao Yanyan looked up with a wary face, “Are you bored now and want to do something? I warn you, Su Lin, I'm working.”
“Cough, cough, cough... Okay, work first, we'll talk after lunch.”
Zhao Yanyan looked at Su Lin suspiciously, was he really up to something? She didn't know that something life-changing was waiting for her.
Su Lin was contemplating how to explain the origins of these techniques, or whether to not mention it at all and just let Zhao Yanyan and Lin Xiaowan practice them.
The world was still evolving, and stronger individuals might appear at any time, so arming the women around him was urgent.
Before, Su Lin had nothing to offer, so he could only wait. But now, with the techniques and the ability to teach them, he felt he couldn't wait any longer.
After lunch, Su Lin pulled Zhao Yanyan towards the break room.nZhao Yanyan looked around shyly, relieved that no one noticed them.
“Su Lin, you really are bull-headed! In broad daylight, I think you’re just too energetic. We should call Xiaowan and Shiyu.”
“Alright, alright, I have serious matters.”
“Hmph, I know what your ‘serious matters’ are.” In the break room, Zhao Yanyan began unbuttoning with a sultry glance at Su Lin.
Meanwhile, outside of Quan Le Guo, a taxi pulled up.
Lin Xiaowan paid the driver and pulled Xia Shiyu out of the car, “Hehe, we’re going to give Yanyan a big surprise.”
“Xixi~! Yanyan will be so happy to see us.”
Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement, “Speaking of which, Su Lin has been busy in Donghai for days, not sure what he’s been up to. We need to ask him later.”
“Uh-huh~!!”
They headed straight to the office upstairs upon entering the supermarket.
“Oh? President Lin, President Xia, what brings you here?”
Recognizing the assistant as Zhao Yanyan’s, Lin Xiaowan smiled, “We’re planning to relocate our headquarters, here to scout the location. Where’s Yanyan?”
“She’s in the break room. Do you want me to take you there?”
“No need, Xiaoyu and I know the way. We’ll go by ourselves.”
“Okay then, I won’t announce your arrival. Go ahead.”
Xia Shiyu and Zhao Yanyan nodded and then headed upstairs.
