185: Lifesaver

"President Lan, why didn't Su Yue come to work today? He doesn't seem like the type to be late."

Meng Chao couldn't help but seize the opportunity to stir up trouble, which left everyone a bit speechless.

Normally, if colleagues had something come up, being late or leaving early was quite common, but absolutely no one would go around complaining so pointlessly like this.

They really got an eye-opener today.

"Su Yue?" President Lan suddenly realized what he was talking about and stopped.

"Su Yue has something to do; he's already asked for leave from me."

President Lan didn't say much more and turned to walk inside.

However, Meng Chao persistently chased after him, "What's wrong with Su Yue? Is he sick?"

Li Haoyang also felt that the other party's constant questioning seemed a bit offensive, but his relationship with Su Yue was good, and he also wanted to know what Su Yue had gone to do.

"The HR department doesn't seem to have notified anyone taking sick leave; why didn't he follow the procedure?"

Meng Chao was quite familiar with the HR department, so he intentionally said this.

President Lan didn't answer the question directly, "I approved it myself. You all should hurry and get to work, don't crowd around here."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a hint of envy. They hadn't expected the relationship between Su Yue and the President to be this good already.

Meng Chao also hadn't expected that the other party would voluntarily speak up for Su Yue. Whether this was true or false, the fact that Su Yue had taken leave was undeniable.

He didn't say much more, just chuckled and played it off.

"So that's how it is. I really didn't expect your relationship to be so good that you could help him ask for leave."

After saying this with a smile, he went straight back to his workstation and started working.

President Lan also couldn't be bothered with the other party and turned around and left.

On the contrary, Li Haoyang and the others took all these words to heart.

"Su Yue isn't someone who takes leave for no reason. Was it personal leave or sick leave?"

He mumbled to himself, pulled out his phone, and sent Su Yue a WeChat message. Instead of asking others, it was better to ask the person concerned.

Su Yue, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard his phone ring. He curiously opened it and found that it was Li Haoyang.

"Brother, I see you took leave today. Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yue didn't hide anything and directly told him about contracting black scale disease.

His heart also felt warm; it seemed there were still people who noticed his situation. Being cared for felt quite nice.

It was at this moment that Li Haoyang, sitting at his workstation, was completely shocked.

He hadn't expected Su Yue to be so unlucky as to contract this strange virus.

Thinking of Xu Supervisor's terrifying appearance, he became a bit agitated and conflicted.

He also knew Su Yue's situation. If the other party was sick, it was likely that no one would visit him, so this good-hearted person also couldn't sit still.

black scale disease is indeed highly contagious, but as long as you wear a mask and gloves, you won't necessarily catch it.

Su Yue probably just didn't pay attention to some details in his life, which is why he got infected.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but directly order some fruits and food, all carefully selected light items.

"Send me your ward number. I'll come see you after work." After sending the message, Li Haoyang quickly got back to work. He had to finish his work for the day quickly so he would have time to visit the other party after getting off work.

Everything seemed to be running as usual.

Meanwhile, Liang Yuzhu arrived at the house Su Yue was renting.

Lin Jia was cleaning. It was her day off, so she got up early to clean the house.

Hearing the knocking, she instinctively thought it was Su Yue.

"You've been gone for so long..." Her words stopped abruptly after opening the door.

Because standing at the door wasn't Su Yue, but a woman in uniform. She looked heroic and imposing, giving off an air of authority without being angry.

"Are you looking for Su Yue?"

The moment she saw Liang Yuzhu, she felt that the other party must have a relationship with Su Yue. Such a beautiful woman could also revolve around Su Yue, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"I'm not looking for Su Yue, I'm looking for you."

Liang Yuzhu saw the other party make way and walked straight in, sitting down on the sofa.

"However, this matter is also related to Su Yue, so I hope you can answer truthfully."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jia's expression became somewhat thoughtful.

Her brows furrowed tightly. Could it be that Su Yue had committed some offense?

Liang Yuzhu's thinking was very simple. Now, Su Yue's identity among their group had been completely revealed.

So there was no need for her to hide anything.

As Su Yue's roommate, this woman should also know his identity, so would there be a situation where she helped conceal it?

Thinking of this, Liang Yuzhu's gaze became more serious.

"How much do you know about Su Yue?" Liang Yuzhu held a notebook in her hand, as if ready to record important information at any time.

After her words fell, Lin Jia awkwardly pulled at the corner of her clothes.

She was almost dying of nervousness. Could it be that Su Yue had committed a crime? He hadn't come back for several days; could it be that he was arrested by Police?

Lin Jia's mind almost conjured up countless possibilities. Coupled with the fact that Police officer in front of her was too serious, she couldn't help but purse her lips and say, "He is a very good person."

"I don't know him very well, but after living together these past few days, I can feel that he is not bad and wouldn't do anything bad."

Lin Jia looked at Liang Yuzhu very seriously. They had gotten to know each other somewhat over these past few days. If Su Yue was really a bad person, then how could she live in the same place as him?

It was obvious that the other party was here to take her statement, probably wanting to indirectly understand the relationship between Su Yue and herself.

"Besides that, does he have any hidden identities?"

"Or does he always do something when you're not paying attention?"

Hearing Liang Yuzhu's questions, Lin Jia instead frowned.

"He and I are just roommates renting together, not husband and wife. How could there be a situation where he does things when I'm not paying attention?"

"He has his own freedom, and I naturally can't control him. As for any hidden identities, I really don't know. I only know that he is a company employee."

Lin Jia had suspected that the other party was Yuan, but that idea had completely vanished.

So, there definitely weren't any hidden identities.

Liang Yuzhu carefully analyzed the other party's subtle expressions, silently guessing the relationship between the other party and Su Yue.

Based on the current situation, this person really doesn't know Su Yue's hidden identity.

She couldn't help but find it amusing. Su Yue really hid things deeply. Not only did he fool all of them, Police officers, but he could even hide it from his roommate he lived with.

For a moment, the feeling of annoyance and anger at being kept in the dark by Su Yue instantly disappeared.

"I saw that you were kidnapped some time ago," Liang Yuzhu said slowly, flipping through the case files.

"The person who saved you was Yuan."

Lin Jia hadn't expected the other party to suddenly bring this up and couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes, he did save me, but I don't know his identity."

"If you find out during your investigation, could you please tell me? I want to thank him personally."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuzhu raised an eyebrow.

"He's right in front of you, isn't he? He's Su Yue, the one you live with."

As her words fell, a look of shock appeared on Lin Jia's face. It was clear she was unwilling to believe that this was true.

"It's really him?"

It wasn't that she hadn't guessed that Su Yue and the other person were the same, but when Police officer revealed the truth, she was still somewhat shocked.

"It's really him, so you already had some suspicion before, right?" Liang Yuzhu keenly grasped the key point. It proved that this woman was indeed unaware.

"So it was really him who saved me from the warehouse back then. Why didn't he want to tell the truth? He did a good deed but wants to be so low-key!"

Lin Jia felt some regret. If only she had noticed the clues earlier.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. We just found out his identity information too. He kept us in the dark as well."

Speaking of this, Liang Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle. It was a waste that they had tried to test him in various ways back then, only to be complete clowns in his eyes.

Now she felt like she was showing off her skills to an expert. At first, she didn't even know how to face him.

"Then why hasn't Su Yue been home these past few days? Did something happen?"

Every time Lin Jia wanted to find Su Yue, she found his door tightly shut and he wasn't home. Coupled with Police officer coming today to talk about this, she had a bad feeling.

"He helped Police dismantle a black scale disease research institute, but he was injured in the lab and accidentally contracted the virus. So now he is recuperating at the Second Peoples Hospital. If you want to visit him, you can. This is his room number."

Liang Yuzhu directly handed over a handwritten room number, "His condition is a bit special right now because his body contains the original strain. So we are conducting a systematic examination on him. If you want to see him, it's best to be prepared."

Liang Yuzhu knew that there was no more information to be gained by asking further, so she directly got up to leave.

Looking at the retreating figure, Lin Jia finally reacted and quickly stood up to see her out.

After Liang Yuzhu left, she sat on the sofa, tightly gripping her phone, not saying a word.

She had a lot to say to Su Yue, but the words vanished as they reached her lips.

She even typed many words, but when she was about to send them, she felt very shy, even finding these words extremely embarrassing.

They were just words of thanks, but she couldn't say them. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

After much thought, she condensed her myriad words into one sentence.

Are you there?

Su Yue replied instantly. After thinking for a moment, Lin Jia still solemnly told him about Police officer coming to visit.

"A police officer just came to visit and told me about your situation. Are you alright now?"

Su Yue, who was eating an apple in his ward, saw this message and raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Liang Yuzhu to have told her about this.

However, this was also within his expectations. This identity had been completely exposed, and everyone knew it tacitly. Liang Yuzhu definitely needed to understand the details.

And she was probably also a bit unhappy about being tricked by him.

He thought for a moment and just took a picture of his wound.

"Things are okay. I have food and drinks here, and someone is taking care of me."

Lin Jia couldn't help but laugh when she saw his words.

"You're already in the hospital, and you're still acting so optimistic?"

After replying to this message, Lin Jia sent three more words.

"Thank you."

There was a natural understanding between the two. At this point, things were tacitly understood.

Su Yue sent an emoji as a response.

"I'll come see you in a bit and bring you something good to eat. I just bought some ribs; how about I make you lotus root soup with ribs?"

"You can't refuse me. This is also a way for me to show my gratitude."

The kindness of saving a life is something that cannot be repaid.

In ancient times, it would have required offering oneself in marriage.

Su Yue didn't refuse. He had been eating hospital food for the past few days, and his mouth was almost tasteless.

Except for some fruits given by Xia Ruoyun, everything he ate was extremely bland.

"Bring me a plate of stir-fried pork intestines."

"Preferably spicy, with a strong flavor. Boiled beef would also be nice."

Su Yue was already in a good mood and started ordering dishes. Lin Jia wasn't idle either. She immediately wrote down the ingredients needed according to the dishes Su Yue ordered and headed to the market at an extremely fast speed.

And Su Yue sat in the ward, thinking about his intelligence points.

He wouldn't be able to go back during this time. He had different ideas about the intelligence that would appear next.

Since Lin Jia already knew his identity, she was effectively on his side. It would be a good choice to develop her into his organization.

Lin Jia was very reliable and did things very effectively. Most importantly, she could keep a secret.

Su Yue thought about it and pondered how to handle this matter.

Unexpectedly, not long after, he heard a knocking sound.

"Come in."

Su Yue called out.

The door opened, and a beautiful woman wearing a mask and gloves appeared before him.

She was carrying an exquisite lunchbox in her hand and waved at Su Yue with teary eyes.
