Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine C.97: Birthday Celebration, Su Lin’s Extraordinary Treatment!

In the following days, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan spent time accompanying Xia Shiyu to various tourist spots in Zhongjiang.

Despite being just a county-level city, Zhongjiang had plenty of interesting places to visit. After all, it was situated in the Yangtze River Delta region and was quite well-developed.

While Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan, and Xia Shiyu were thoroughly enjoying themselves, Lin Tian was busy investigating the true cause behind Lin Yourong’s traffic accident.

When the police informed him that it was just a traffic accident, he was utterly incredulous: “Impossible, absolutely impossible. My father was definitely murdered, it was murder!!”

Zhao Tiande, looking at Lin Tian’s grief-stricken face, felt somewhat helpless. Lin Yourong was his good friend, and his death in a car accident also pained him. However, the fact remained that Lin Yourong died in a traffic accident.

“Xiao Tian, I personally followed up on this case. The suspicions you raised, I had the officers investigate them. They are all baseless. The driver’s relative indeed works for Su’s Construction, but they were not on good terms.”

“Moreover, recent information about that employee shows that he had no contact with the driver, so the lead you provided is useless. The driver was determined by forensic examination to have had an accident due to drowsy driving.”

Lin Tian looked at Zhao Tiande and shook his head in disbelief: “Uncle Zhao~! This is a premeditated murder, and the mastermind is the boss of Su’s Construction.”

“Xiao Tian, I’ve met Su Zhenguo a few times. He is a pure businessman with a fortune of billions. Do you think he would commit such a self-destructive act?”

“That’s exactly why we have this flawless accident now, Uncle Zhao. I don’t believe that my dad just pressed their site’s neck and then had an accident.”

Zhao Tiande was somewhat speechless: “Xiao Tian, your father was not an ordinary person. When he had an accident, the bureau started investigating immediately.”

“I’m not hiding anything from you. The family of the driver, even their dining and restroom details were thoroughly checked; there’s no possibility of any foul play.”

“I’ve been an old friend of your dad for many years. Do you think I would lie to you about such a matter?”

“As for Su Zhenguo, he indeed was our prime suspect. But he had no motive for the crime. Although your father was pressuring him, the construction site’s paperwork was already signed, and he could have started work without any issues. So, there was no motive for him to commit the crime.”

“Moreover, we investigated him. These past few days, he was in Zhongjiang accompanying his son for college entrance exams, not dealing with affairs in Donghai. So, Xiao Tian, this matter is undoubtedly an accident.”

Lin Tian fell silent. He knew about the close relationship between Zhao Tiande and Lin Yourong. If Lin Yourong was indeed murdered, Zhao Tiande would not stand idly by; he would have definitely tried to find out the truth.

Now that he said so, it was certain that his father had an accident. But, was all this really just an accident? Lin Tian could distinctly feel as if an invisible hand was manipulating him, helplessly watching his father’s demise.

That feeling was unmistakable. With his many years of experience in the business world, he knew there was definitely something wrong with this case. It seemed he would have to investigate on his own.

Zhao Tiande discerned Lin Tian’s thoughts and shook his head: “Xiao Tian, you don’t need to think about investigating this yourself. Come with me to the station later, to my office. I’ll show you the case file. Remember, you can only look at it; you cannot copy or take it away. Understand?”

Lin Tian nodded. He knew that Zhao Tiande was already bending the rules to help him. “Uncle Zhao, I know what to do.”

“Hmm~! You, this child, have finally grown up at such a time. It’s really tough on your mother.”

Lin Tian: “…”

Meanwhile, Su Lin was lying on the sofa at home, enjoying being fed by Xia Shiyu. “Xiaowan, put a bit more strength into it, I need it to be stronger.”

Lin Xiaowan increased the pressure: “How about this strength? Does it feel comfortable?”

Su Lin, looking content, replied: “Comfortable, really comfortable. Xiaowan, I really didn’t expect you to have this skill. Who taught you?”

Lin Xiaowan proudly said: “I’m self-taught. I used to massage my grandfather when I was young, so I figured out this technique myself. It’s been a long time since I’ve done it, my hands are a bit rusty.”

Su Lin enviously said: “I’m really envious of your grandfather, having his granddaughter massage him every day.”

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin: “Envious of what? I’ll massage you too in the future.”

Su Lin immediately got excited: “Xiaowan, you said it, no take-backs.”

Lin Xiaowan’s beautiful eyes twinkled as she smiled: “Why would I take it back? I said I’d massage you every year on your birthday, and I definitely won’t go back on my word.”

“Eh… Isn’t that the same as going back on it?” Su Lin was outraged.

“Hmph, Xiaoyu, stop feeding him. He has his own hands, why do you need to feed him?”

Xia Shiyu said gently with a smile: “Xiaowan, today is Su Lin’s birthday. The birthday person gets special treatment, and it’s just feeding him some fruit.”

“Exactly, today I am the birthday boy. Xiaowan, you’re being too harsh, not letting me enjoy my birthday.”

“Ouch~! Xiaowan, why are you using so much strength?”

Lin Xiaowan stared at Su Lin: “I’m massaging you, and you still call me harsh? If I’m not a bit harsh, won’t I be at a loss?”

“Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Our Xiaowan is the best, beautiful and kind-hearted…”

“Alright, alright, stop flattering me. I’ll massage you, just lie down on the sofa, and I’ll massage your head.”

“Okay!!” Su Lin happily turned over, burying his head in Lin Xiaowan’s legs.

“You…” Lin Xiaowan could feel Su Lin’s face buried in her legs, his breath tickling her skin, an itchy sensation as if someone was tickling her heart.

“Xiaowan, start.”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head and ultimately did not ask Su Lin to move, but instead began to massage his head while holding it.

Seeing this, Xia Shiyu reluctantly placed the fruit on the nearby coffee table. “Su Lin, how do you plan to spend your birthday today? Will your dad come back?”

“We’ll just spend it, the three of us. My dad? He’s busy at the construction site right now, he doesn’t have time to worry about me,” Su Lin said indifferently.

“Just the three of us?”

“Of course, what else? Should we throw a party? You know you two are all I have.”

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin, her thoughts conflicted. She remembered Su Lin’s words from before. In fact, she didn’t just not want to refuse him; she was somewhat looking forward to it.

It was only the reserve of a young girl that made her hesitate to agree. And coincidentally, last night Lin Guoqiang had gone to the countryside for research, and Wang Xiaoqian was also out of town on a business trip.

Lin Xiaowan thought to herself: “Could it be that even fate thinks I should agree to him?” Sitting there, Lin Xiaowan was troubled and distracted.

“Su Lin, you could invite Chen Yang and his sister too. I haven’t seen Xiao Lin in a long time,” Xia Shiyu suggested.

Hearing this, Su Lin frowned: “Why invite Chen Yang? He has a lot going on at home, and his sister has her middle school exams in a few days. Do you think she should be going out now?”

“Right, how could I forget? Xiao Lin has her exams soon. Chen Yang is probably tutoring her now, isn’t he?”

“So, it’s just the three of us then. We’ll have dinner, drink some wine, and then eat cake. Isn’t that nice?” Su Lin said cheerfully.

“Drink wine? Can I drink, Su Lin?” Xia Shiyu asked excitedly. Actually, Xia Shiyu liked to drink, but Su Lin had always restricted her, which made her somewhat excited at the prospect of having the restriction lifted.

“You can only have a little, and it has to be diluted with a beverage,” Su Lin said with a smile.

“Okay, okay. Xiaowan, do you drink?”

Lin Xiaowan came back to her senses and shook her head: “Me? I should be fine.”

She wasn’t sure about her tolerance. She had drunk with her grandfather in the capital but never got drunk, so she wasn’t clear if her tolerance was good or bad.

Su Lin knew well that Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu were two extremes. If Xia Shiyu would be knocked out by one cup, Lin Xiaowan would be the type who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Alcohol had no effect on her.

Su Lin shifted his head slightly and looked at Xia Shiyu. Their eyes met, and Xia Shiyu’s gaze dodged a little. She thought that if she got drunk tonight, she would just let Su Lin do as he wished.

Seeing Xia Shiyu like this, Su Lin laughed. This girl was really timid and extremely repressed. Perhaps only when drunk would she release that bit of innocence.
