The male supporting character was actually myself.

Her fair, slender, straight, and thin legs were exposed, and her delicate feet wore a pair of Jiang Chen's sandals.

"How is it?" Su Ziqing leaned down, placing her hands on the table, and asked with a playful smile, "Does it fit you well?"

Jiang Chen took a sip of tea, stared at her intently, and said, "No need to cook dinner tonight—she's a feast for the eyes."

"Anyway, it's just the two of us, you decide!" Su Ziqing took a sip of tea from his hand and chuckled, "I didn't realize you were so good at brewing tea..."

As dusk fell, warm and inviting lights illuminated the farmhouses nestled deep in the mountains.

A winding path leads to a secluded spot; I stop my carriage to admire the maple forest at dusk, where the frosted leaves are redder than February flowers…

"The plot has been updated?"

The first thing Jiang Chen did after opening her eyes the next morning was to open the script.

After carefully reading the updated content, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and glance at the little fluffy ball who was still sleeping soundly in the quilt.

It seems we need to make arrangements to deal with this situation quickly!

"Stab!"

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen opened the curtains to let the bright sunlight in.

"Ha..." Xiao Bai, who had been playing games until late at night, stretched and yawned, and said lazily, "Host, weren't you tired last night?"

Why get up so early on a weekend?

Jiang Chen straightened his collar and patiently explained, "The script has been updated, and Su Li is going astray. Do you think we should intervene?"

Xiaobai curled up, found a comfortable position, and opened the script. She had only glanced at it when she jumped up, her soft, loli-like voice almost cracking, "Is the male lead crazy?"

He...he's committed a crime!

"So I'm asking for your opinion: should we intervene?"

"Ah..." Xiaobai was a little worried. Logically speaking, all she needed to do was assist the host in completing the mission, but the plot development was a bit annoying.

After the drowning incident, Su Li questioned Du Xinyu about why she had taken the initiative to seek out Chu Jiangchen.

Given that the later part of the surveillance video did not match the facts, Du Xinyu insisted that Chu Jiangchen had threatened her to go to the appointment and that the entire video was fake.

In order to find out who was behind all this trouble, Su Li actually took the servant away from the Su family manor, locked him up, and tortured him for a confession!

The servant held out for several days, but his psychological defenses finally crumbled, and he was forced to confess that he had been instructed by Su Ziqing to say those words at the banquet.

Having achieved the desired outcome, Su Li immediately reconciled with Du Xinyu and provided the interrogation recordings to Su Minghe. From then on, he launched a counterattack, and the father and son joined forces to take the Su Group away from Su Ziqing.

The poor servant was later killed by the protagonist under the pretense of an accident, and the matter was settled with some compensation.

Chapter Twelve has been updated!

"The plot is really going all out to turn things around for the male and female leads." Jiang Chen rubbed his temples, waiting for Xiaobai's reply.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiaobai said with a lack of confidence: "The way the plot is arranged is indeed a bit too much. Just because Su Li is the protagonist doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants!"

but……

Our task is to complete the tasks assigned by the main system and be the best supporting male character. Logically, we shouldn't stop the protagonist from doing anything.

Here's what you do: go and try to stop him.

I'll pretend I don't know and turn a blind eye!

It all depends on that servant's luck. If we can stop him in time, we can save him; if we can't, well... there's nothing I can do."

Seeing that it was nervously scratching its left and right paws and didn't dare to look up at him, Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then let's do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Su Ziqing was clearly still sleepy and nestled in her comfortable blankets, not wanting to move. She asked lazily, "Achen, why did you wake me up so early just to ask about that servant?"

Why did I suddenly... remember this...?

"It suddenly occurred to me that he stood up that night to accuse Du Xinyu of lying, openly offending both Du Xinyu and Su Li."

Given Su Li's unscrupulous behavior, she might retaliate.

If I were implicated simply for speaking a few truths, wouldn't that be my fault?

Hearing him say that, Su Ziqing sat up abruptly, then hurriedly wrapped herself in the blanket, and said with some doubt, "Su Li wouldn't be so shameless, would he?"

Although he was an illegitimate child, the Su family tacitly accepted him.

Who is he to argue with a servant?

However... if Su Li is willing to do anything to get back to the Su family, even allowing his own mother to be bossed around, he might actually do things like retaliation!

Let me take a look first!

She stretched her snow-white, lotus-root-like arm out from under the covers, picked up her phone, opened an internal app, entered a search term, and raised an eyebrow. "My internal management software shows that the servant named Zhang Mingming took leave at eight o'clock last night."

The reason for requesting leave is: sudden illness requiring medical treatment outside the home.

This is just too much of a coincidence.

No, none of the people I trust are in the city right now. I have to go back!

She put down her phone, cursed angrily, and threw off the covers to change her clothes.

“It seems she’s probably already been taken away.” Jiang Chen pressed her back onto the bed. “Since Su Li is involved, you can’t interfere anymore.”

Otherwise, if your father finds out, even if you did the right thing, he will still be angry with you.

Su Ziqing was pushed down, her face flushed slightly, and she said unhappily, "So we're just going to ignore it?"

Our Su family has always treated others kindly.

My maternal grandparents also helped the servants who had served them for many years with their retirement, not to mention the servants who had never made a mistake; they never said a harsh word to them!

We pay people to work, which is an employment relationship. What is there to distinguish between high and low status? Why does Su Li take people away without saying a word?

Who knows what will happen if it falls into his hands?

No, I have to send someone to look for it right away!

If all else fails, call the police!

My father...he can think whatever he wants, but I can't let him get involved in such a trivial matter.

"Don't panic. It's still uncertain whether she's really sick or was taken away by Su Li." Jiang Chen stopped her from taking the phone and lowered his voice, saying, "Leave it to me. I promise you won't be disappointed."

Feeling his warm and strong hands, Su Ziqing's ears turned red instantly, and she replied softly, "I...believe you."

"Then let's go back to sleep." Jiang Chen tucked her in, turned around and left the bedroom.

Little White, feeling conflicted and lacking confidence, hugged its fluffy tail and asked softly, "Is it too late?"

"Yeah, they probably did it last night," Jiang Chen replied with a shrug.

"Sigh... After all, it's an updated plot, it's bound to happen..." it muttered to itself, "How could the protagonist do this?"

This despicable person treats human life like dirt, yet he has the protagonist's fate and receives our secret help. The main system is so unfair!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but find it amusing. "So, Little White, the support system with a strong sense of justice, what are you planning to do? Why don't you just submit a report to the main system and support me to become the protagonist!"

"How could that be?" Xiaobai rolled its eyes at him, licked its fur, and stammered, "The main system is just a program without any emotions. Even if you report it, it won't help."

I suddenly understand the host next door.

Who wouldn't feel frustrated if they were in this kind of situation?

Ha... From the protagonist's perspective, Su Li's actions could be described as ruthless decisiveness.

But from another perspective, he's a major villain!

After venting his anger, Xiaobai squatted on Jiang Chen's shoulder and whispered, "Are we just going to give up like this?"

"What do you want me to do?" He found the little guy rather cute and teased, "How about I rush back to the city right now, find Su Li, beat him up, and rescue Zhang Mingming?"

Xiao Bai twitched his lips. "That definitely won't work... Host, don't you have any ideas? How can we rescue Zhang Mingming without going against the male lead?"

As it talked, it realized it was unlikely. It rubbed its chubby cheeks with its little paws, sighed, and then pulled out a huge tablet from its snow-white belly. "Playing games is definitely more suitable for me."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaobai hopped upstairs with his tablet and hid there.

"A cat that avoids reality... what a coward!" Jiang Chen shook his head and turned to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Jincheng, a luxurious villa belonging to the Su family.

"Qingqing went out with that Chu family boy and hasn't come back all night?" Su Minghe flipped through the newspaper, tilted his head to glance at the old butler, and his glasses reflected a sharp light. "Girls grow up and leave home! That's just how girls are; they're drawn to other men and run off with them."

Do you think I can hand over the business I've worked so hard to build to her?

With the Su Group in her hands, it will eventually become someone else's asset!

The family business should still be handed over to my son.

The old butler didn't respond, but after a moment of silence, he replied, "Miss is investigating the matter of Young Master Su Li's information being exposed, and it seems she has made some progress."

"Yes." Su Minghe nodded and turned a page of the newspaper in his hand. "Qingqing told me about this."

She suspected that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

I also think the person who leaked this information is despicable!

Originally, I was thinking of first observing Su Li's character and personality. If he showed potential, I would spend some time clearing up his past and getting him to acknowledge his identity.

That's why I secretly sent him to a prestigious university, but didn't give him much financial aid.

I'm just worried that he's used to being poor, and if he suddenly has money, he'll indulge in debauchery and ruin his future.

Who knew that once the news of the illegitimate child came out, it couldn't be covered up!

I didn't even have time to clean up his file, and now, it's all been dug up: prostitute, illegitimate child... even the things Su Li did when he was a child have been thoroughly exposed.

Not only have I lost all face, but unless Su Li can reach a position where people dare not talk about him easily, he will be pointed at and gossiped about for the rest of his life!

If Qingqing finds out anything, let me know immediately.

She is capable, it's just a pity... it would have been so much better if she were a boy.

Then Su Li has nothing to do with it.

It's strange, really. I searched so many women and tried so many methods, yet I couldn't conceive a single child. And yet, this woman, ridden by a thousand men and stepped on by ten thousand, was blessed enough to have my son.

The old butler bowed slightly and inquired, "Then what about Young Master Su Li's mother..."

“Her information has already been completely exposed online, so she can forget about any official status. It’s absolutely impossible.” Su Minghe raised an eyebrow and said calmly, “Give her a sum of money and send it abroad; if she still doesn’t want to and is still delusional, then prepare an accident to eliminate any future trouble.”
