It’s Exciting to Snatch the Supporting Male Lead and Run Away [Quick Wear] - 2

 

IETSTSMLARA | The Vicious Support Male Lead is a Bit Sweet | 2

Lin Su wasn't quite sure about Lin Tang's situation. After leaving the house, he didn't go to the office. It was rare to take the day off. He should plan for the future as soon as possible.

He could do without the Lin family's money, but he needed to earn his own. Fortunately, there were plenty of legal ways to make money in this era, with the simplest being stock trading.

For Lin Su, analyzing the pros and cons of an industry and a company's future development wasn't difficult. After careful consideration, he invested some of his former savings into several promising stocks.

For stability, of course, long-term stocks are better, but if you want to double your assets in the short term, short-term stocks are more convenient. 

System 06 wasn't one to chatter, but at this moment, it still expressed its opinion: 【It's not beneficial for you to provoke Lin Tang now.】

What was said at the at the dinner table won't have any positive effect and will only make Lin Tang develop resistance. It understands that the host must know this.

“Other than going to college, the young master has nothing to do. It's better for him to focus his attention on me than to pester Sheng Hong”, Lin Su said.

If the young master causes trouble with him, he will try to lead him in the right direction, but if he goes to Sheng Hong's place, it will only derail the mission line.

As Lin Su had anticipated, as soon as the young master gathered up his friends and discussed how to make Lin Su cry and repent for his mistakes.

Once they delved into such discussions, this group of friends came up with countless mischievous ideas, leaving no blank spots unlike their exams papers. They could easily compile a textbook with the list they came up with.

Lin Su handled the assets on his end and didn't continue wandering outside. Although the Lin family seemed indifferent to him, they were extremely sensitive when it came to interest matters. 

Most importantly, he wasn't too interested in the nightlife of young people; a regular fitness routine was enough to channel his excess energy.

After returning to the Lin residence, Lin Su changed his clothes and headed to the gym. 

Although his current physique was decent, it hadn't reached the level of satisfaction for Lin Su. The process of working out also helped calm his mind and think more clearly.

Lin Su was sweating profusely in the gym, but at this moment, the door to his room was opened, and a figure carrying a sack slipped in for three minutes before slipping out again. Then, taking a deep breath, the figure tiptoed down the stairs.

When Lin Su emerged from the gym's shower, he caught glimpses of Lin Tang's sneaky glances, a mixture of cunning and nervousness. There was also a hint of smugness, indicating that Lin Tang had likely done something mischievous.

Lin Su was only wearing his pants, with his wet shirt in hand. His bare upper body still had some moisture on it that hadn't been wiped off yet. With his four-pack abs, his physique was considered quite good compared to the average man.

However, Lin Tang only glanced at him and scoffed, "You dare to show off such a lousy physique?"

Sheng Hong, aka "Brother Hong," indeed had an eight-pack abs physique, leaving Lin Su in the dust in terms of superficial brotherly status.

Lin Su was well aware that comparing his current physique to the protagonist's would be humiliating. However, if he wasn't mistaken, this gossiping little troublemaker had a flat belly with not a single ab in sight.

How to put it? He would have to be justifiable to have a point.

Lin Su didn't retort. His previous objective had already been achieved. Now, Lin Tang's mischief was enough to spark a conflict between them.

As Lin Su headed upstairs, he glanced at Lin Tang, then decisively went upstairs upon noticing his excitement.

06 dutifully reported: 【Host, your room is crawling with cockroaches.】

No need to ask, Lin Tang was behind this.

Lin Su tapped his finger on the door, smiling lightly. While he had initiated the provocation, he hadn't said he wouldn't retaliate when provoked.

He suddenly pushed the door open, letting out a loud "Ah!" before swiftly turning and entering the guest room, closing the door behind him.

Downstairs, Lin Tang was eagerly anticipating his reaction. Upon hearing the shout, he excitedly rushed upstairs, expecting to see Lin Su in tears. 

However, upstairs was eerily quiet, except for Lin Su's room, from which cockroaches were swarming out like a torrent. Some even flew towards Lin Tang's face, the horror akin to encountering Godzilla.

"Ah!!!" Lin Tang's scream was definitely worthy of being in a horror movie, instantly waking up everyone in the Lin residence.

When the security guard came over with his baton, he didn't encounter a burglar but instead found cockroaches flying everywhere. The servants joined in the frantic extermination, completely puzzled as to why so many cockroaches had appeared when they usually kept the place spotless. Look at how they've frightened their young master until his eyes turned red.

Lin Tang wasn't scared; it was purely his germophobia at play. It was one thing to deal with them while carrying a sack, but witnessing them flying everywhere was absolutely intolerable.

The security guard muttered while swatting cockroaches, "Where did so many come from? Cockroaches mean dirtiness."

Before the other servants could look into it, Lin Tang stiffend at the question. He intended to let everyone know about Lin Su's peculiar hobby of breeding cockroaches and use it as an opportunity to teach him a lesson. "From my big brother... um..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a large hand covered his mouth and dragged him into the empty guest room.

Inside the room, Lin Tang relaxed upon seeing Lin Su and confidently pulled away Lin Su's hand. His lips curved into a smirk. "What's this? Big brother doesn't like cleanliness and is afraid of criticism?"

Lin Su wasn't particularly angry at Lin Tang's antics, not because he had a good temper, but because facing such a handsome face like Lin Tang's seemed to make it easier to forgive his minor faults.

"If you're not afraid of being scolded by father, you can continue making a fuss," Lin Su said in a calm tone.

Although Lin Tang was doted on by Father Lin, there were certain things he wouldn't tolerate. As a result, Lin Tang still harbored a considerable amount of fear towards Father Lin, mainly because all the cards he could swipe were supplementary cards under Father Lin's name, which could be easily frozen if necessary.

Lin Tang's expression changed slightly, his beautiful almond eyes turning into widened ones filled with anger as he stared at Lin Su. "You dare to threaten me? Your wings have grown hard!"

Lin Su felt that the latter sentence was likely a quote from Lin Tang, with Father Lin being the referenced party. Whether the quote was appropriate or not, the young master clearly lacked that self-awareness.

"I'm doing this for your own good," Lin Su shrugged. "I know you don't like me. Let's peacefully resolve this matter. Once it's settled, I'll move out. I won't bother you anymore or lecture you, okay?"

Lin Tang listened, feeling quite tempted. Finally, the annoyance would be gone, which was a relief. Wait, but if he left, how would he execute his future plans? They had worked so hard to come up with this plan with a book.

"No, you can't leave. If you do, Dad will definitely think I forced you out," Lin Tang's expression turned unpleasant. "Nice try."

The subsequent plan would definitely be executed, he will be happy if Lin Su is unhappy.

Lin Su wouldn't actually consult Lin Tang if he decided to leave. His words were just meant to make Lin Tang tone down a bit and stop making the Lin residence a mess, as it would only end up harming himself.

"Well, if you insist," Lin Su said with a hint of resignation.

Lin Tang responded decisively, "I insist!"

Lin Su's lips curled slightly before returning to calmness.

The cockroach incident had caused quite a commotion. When Father Lin returned, he occasionally spotted one or two cockroaches scurrying past, making it hard to remain unaware of what had happened.

Lin Su and Lin Tang stood before Lin Father. It was Lin Su's first time seeing Father Lin in person since arriving in this world. The impression from memory differed from seeing the real person. Although the man before him was in his sixties and had wrinkles on his face, he didn't seem easy to approach.

Being able to maintain control over the Lin family for many years and firmly hold the reins of power, Father Lin's own capabilities were not to be underestimated.

One of the reasons Lin Su had a high success rate in his tasks was that he never underestimate anyone, not in character but in capability. If a butterfly could stir up a typhoon, then what about people?

"Nonsense!" Father Lin watched the surveillance footage and clearly knew it was his younger son causing trouble. 

However, instead of directing his criticism towards Lin Tang, he aimed it at Lin Su. "He's young and foolish, but as the older brother, you shouldn't join in that nonsense."

He might be a competent leader, but he certainly couldn't be considered a good father. A good father wasn't defined solely by having a heart for his children.

Lin Su bowed his head in apology. "Yes, I know I was wrong. I'll make sure to supervise my younger brother better next time."

Father Lin fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "Alright, come to the study later for a private talk."

A private meeting indicated there would be further education. Lin Tang's lips curved slightly, Lin Su didn’t need to look to know he was gloating.

However, the next moment, Lin Tang couldn't muster a smile because Father Lin's attention turned to him. "And you, go to school obediently this week. Don't wander around."

The words weren't severe, but the underlying implication was clear: the young master's card would be frozen for a week. It felt like a sudden bolt from the blue.

"Dad," Lin Tang sounded very aggrieved.

However, under the gaze of Father Lin’s, he could only obediently withdraw his gaze and glare fiercely at Lin Su. He dared not vent his anger on Father Lin, so he could only transfer his anger to Lin Su, calling him an unlucky star, a broom of misfortune, so annoying!

Lin Su was called to the study not to endure another round of scolding, but for Father Lin to inquire about the progress of his recent projects.

The Lin family's business spans various industries, but their main focus is still in construction. Lin Su's current project is the progress of an office building, a dozen or so floors high. It's not a major project, but it's perfect for the original owner to practice on.

Lin Su reported the progress according to the original owner's plans. There were no major mistakes, but there was also nothing outstanding about it, just plain mediocre.

Father Lin's expression remained unchanged, but his brow slightly furrowed as he said, "That will be all. Once this matter is settled, bring me another report."

Lin Su had no objections.

Too much had happened in one day, and even Lin Su didn't have the energy to think too much about it. Until he could thoroughly tidy up his own room, he could only sleep in the guest room.

His fever had subsided, it seemed it wouldn't recur. He would have to continue going to work at the Lin family's company tomorrow.

The next day, Lin Su was awakened by his internal clock at seven o'clock. It was the best time for a morning run. At this time, the entire Lin residence was just beginning to wake up. As Lin Su descended the stairs, he unexpectedly heard the young master's singing coming from the kitchen, with the level of beauty comparable to noise.

Approaching to take a look, Lin Su saw the young master enthusiastically frying eggs to make a bento, causing his singing to be interspersed with phrases like "Ouch, it's hot" and "This pan is rubbish."

The probability of the pampered young master making his own bento was zero, so the only possibility was that he was making it for the protagonist Sheng Hong.

This enthusiasm was commendable, but unfortunately, Sheng Hong only saw him as a younger brother. Falling for someone you shouldn't like often leads to a bad ending. 

Since that's the case, reducing their encounters is definitely necessary. Lin Su stood at the doorway and said, "It seems like there were cockroaches in the kitchen last night. Could they have laid eggs on the ingredients?"

Lin Tang's hand shook, and the fried egg fell to the ground.
