186: Be open and honest

Although the other party looked fully armed, Su Yue was still able to know her identity.

If it wasn't Lin Jia, who else could it be?

After greeting Su Yue, Lin Jia walked straight in. She found a table and placed all the food she had prepared in front of him.

"I made you a few spicy dishes, but you can't eat too much," Lin Jia knew very well that he was in a recovery period and couldn't eat too much spicy food.

Su Yue had long wanted to feast, so he didn't stand on ceremony and started eating directly.

Lin Jia watched Su Yue silently from the side, feeling very emotional inside.

She never expected that her savior was right beside her.

"Eat slowly, I also specially brought you something good."

Lin Jia mysteriously took out a bottle of fruit tea from her bag. "I bought this on the way here. See if it suits your taste."

Su Yue was extremely hot (spicy) from the food, so this bottle of drink was like a timely help in the snow.

It wasn't until Su Yue finished eating that Lin Jia awkwardly put the things away.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I might have already died a violent death by now."

Lin Jia felt that she had only made a meal for Su Yue, which was far from enough to repay him.

She would have to make many more meals for Su Yue in the future and take good care of his daily life.

Su Yue didn't know what she was thinking. At this moment, he rubbed his belly contentedly and lay directly on the bed.

The relationship between the two of them was quite good, and there was no need to be so polite with each other.

"You must have worked hard, specially coming over to bring me food," Su Yue thanked her.

Lin Jia smiled and didn't respond to that.

"You rest inside for a while, I'll go out and wash the dishes," Lin Jia didn't say much and just took the bowls, wanting to go out.

Su Yue raised his hand and called out to her, "You don't need to go out to wash them. Isn't there a place specifically for washing dishes right here?"

Lin Jia pointed to the greasy bowls and chopsticks, "I forgot to bring dish soap. I'll go out and borrow some first. The nurses here must have some."

Hearing this, Su Yue didn't say anything more.

Normally, he would definitely not let her wash the dishes. How could he eat someone else's food for free and still make them work?

But at the moment, he had injuries and couldn't touch water, so he could only trouble Lin Jia to wash the dishes herself.

Lin Jia happily borrowed the things and was about to return when she heard someone grumbling very discontentedly.

"This guy sure has a big entourage! There are so many experts coming to consult for him. I really don't know which family's young master is so lucky!"

After hearing this voice, Lin Jia looked back curiously and found that the other party was on a video call on her phone.

And this woman's camera was naturally pointed at Su Yue's room. It was clear who she was talking about at a glance.

Lin Jia also felt a bit angry inside, thinking that this woman was really a chatterbox. Why was she gossiping about others behind their backs for no reason?

The woman didn't notice Lin Jia's gaze and continued to speak proudly.

"This time I found a good job. I don't have to go out and suffer from the wind and sun with those celebrities. I can also lie here and rest. This life is simply too comfortable!"

"The autograph you want, Mom will definitely get it for you, just rest assured!"

When Lin Jia heard about celebrities, she also showed a curious expression. Although she didn't usually follow celebrities much, she was still very interested in them.

So she couldn't suppress her inner curiosity and couldn't help but lean in to eavesdrop.

"Mom, since you're taking care of things in private anyway, why not give me a chance to see the celebrities too?"

"I can also help you look after things. If you need to go to the bathroom or something, I can help you keep an eye on things, right?"

The old lady smiled smugly, as if she had guessed her son's thoughts.

"I knew what you were thinking, but if you could date a celebrity, that would be a good thing too."

"But then again, the people here are really annoying. A large group of people are surrounding one patient, and I don't know what kind of ability this patient has."

The old lady's grumbling words were not very pleasant to hear.

She almost cursed Su Yue, who was staying inside, into dust.

Originally, Lin Jia just wanted to listen to gossip, but she didn't expect to hear the other party start insulting Su Yue.

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Jia stepped forward directly and interrupted her.

"Is it really good to speak ill of others behind their backs like this?"

It was none of her business what the other party talked about concerning celebrities, but these people absolutely could not speak ill of Su Yue in private.

The old lady was startled and began to tremble all over.

The things in her hand were so scared that they almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, where did this little girl come from? She has no manners at all?"

The old lady asked with a frown.

"The person recuperating inside is the hero who cracked the virus research institute this time. You should be careful with your words and don't be deliberately disgusting. Although no one can hear what you're saying, gossiping about others in private like this is not a good thing!"

Lin Jia knew very well how sad Su Yue would be if he heard these words.

This old lady wouldn't pay attention to a young person. She couldn't help but curse and grumble, completely disregarding the person in front of her.

"You dead girl, didn't you see someone was on the phone? Eavesdropping on people's conversations behind their backs, this is truly a person with no manners!"

"I just love to gossip about the person next door, what can you do? If you have the guts, do something to me!"

This old lady was like a hooligan, saying those unpleasant words with extreme displeasure.

Lin Jia was originally a girl who wasn't very good at arguing. After hearing the old lady's words, she was so angry that her whole body trembled, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"You better watch your mouth, or someone will teach you a lesson!"

After saying this proudly, Lin Jia turned around and left directly. She didn't want to waste time on this person either.

Bad people will eventually be punished by heaven. Since the other party inexplicably spoke ill of Su Yue, she would naturally be punished.

As for when this punishment would come, that was none of her business.

The old lady's voice at the door was not quiet, and Su Yue was not deaf. He heard everything clearly.

When he saw Lin Jia walk in angrily, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't argue with fools. Talking to people like that is completely a waste of time, it's purely unnecessary."

Su Yue had always been like this. She was just an unknown old lady, why was she worth his time?

"Okay, I know, I won't get angry easily," Although Lin Jia said this on the surface, she had already secretly taken out her phone and started searching for insults.

No matter what, she had to learn something, otherwise, if she met this old lady again, she would definitely lose the argument, wouldn't she?

Su Yue didn't know that she had already started secretly learning. He was thinking in his heart whether to develop Lin Jia as his subordinate.

Seeing that Su Yue hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Jia didn't stay idle either. After cutting the fruit and placing it aside, she spoke softly.

"No matter what, I still have to thank you personally. Don't worry, if you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely come out and help."

"It's just that I really didn't expect you to be that legendary figure," Lin Jia also felt a bit surprised. At first, she really didn't expect Su Yue to be so powerful.

"Actually, I didn't intend to hide it from the beginning, but I knew too much, which could easily attract others' attention, so I had to be careful."

Su Yue was never a person who liked to hide things. The reason he did this was purely because he was worried about some changes occurring.

"Actually, you really don't need to hide it. As long as you build your own team, even if something goes wrong, there will be people who can help you from behind, instead of being like a lone wolf like you are now."

Su Yue naturally knew that Lin Jia was right, but it was really not that simple to create his own team.

The people in his team must all be people who can entrust their future to everyone, so everyone must be able to withstand the test.

"This matter is not that easy to solve. You just need to find a few trustworthy people."

Lin Jia looked at Su Yue very seriously, her eyes shining with anticipation for something.

"Trustworthy people are not that easy to find, they're not like cabbages on the street that you can grab a bunch of."

Su Yue gave a wry smile. If it were really that easy, that would be great.

Lin Jia volunteered and raised her eyes, "There are trustworthy people, far away in the sky and close at hand."

Su Yue didn't expect her to bring this up, but he had originally had the idea of bringing Lin Jia into his team from the beginning.

Since she brought it up herself, it meant that Lin Jia also had this idea, which was even better.

"If you trust me, then I can naturally help you. I don't expect to touch anything core, I just hope to be able to learn about everything related to the Abyss."

Lin Jia was a fan of Su Yue. Since she knew his identity, how could she continue to remain silent?

Although she didn't follow celebrities, everything was an exception when it came to Su Yue.

"That's a good suggestion," Su Yue smiled. Since she also had this idea, that was naturally the best. He also didn't have to rack his brains trying to figure out how to attract people to work for him.

"Since you have this idea, I can tentatively take you in."

Su Yue joked, "It's just that our line of work is very dangerous. You should know from my situation."

"Facing layers of danger, do you have the courage to deal with them?"

Lin Jia naturally knew that this line of work was full of dangers, but the more dangers there were, the more opportunities there were.

She was not a person who was willing to live a quiet life, so she naturally hoped for more adventures in her life.

So, thinking of this, Lin Jia suddenly stood up and looked at Su Yue solemnly, speaking.

"If you trust me, you can consider developing me into your small team."

"Don't worry, I am absolutely obedient. I'll go wherever you point."

Speaking of this, Lin Jia awkwardly tugged at the corner of her clothes, "I'm thinking that we have a close relationship, and you saved my life. I am completely someone you can trust."

Su Yue didn't deny this when he heard it. He had already had this idea from the beginning, and now that Lin Jia brought it up herself, he had no reason to refuse.

"It's not impossible. We have lived under the same roof for such a long time, and I naturally understand your character."

Su Yue couldn't help but laugh when he saw her nervous appearance.

"But you need to exercise more. At critical moments, you need some skills to save your life."

Lin Jia immediately became energetic, completely losing her previous deathly nervous appearance, and immediately held up three fingers.

"I swear, I will definitely exercise diligently from now on!"

"I was already a regular at the gym, and recently I've been learning Muay Thai. I'll go and sign up for free combat later!"

Su Yue glanced at Lin Jia and could actually tell that her figure was quite perfect.

People with this kind of figure couldn't possibly not go to the gym. It was obvious at a glance that she had spent a long time at the gym.

"In that case, I can rest assured."

Su Yue thought for a while and decided to ask her to go to the basement to take a look.

Regardless, he needed to get some new information.

"After you go back later, go to the basement and take a look. I've set up an intelligence agency there. You can see if there's any new content inside."

Su Yue didn't explain everything in detail, but instead slowly described the situation of the underground base.

After hearing this, Lin Jia was completely stunned.

"You mean, the location of that intelligence base is under the house we rented?"

Lin Jia looked at Su Yue in disbelief, as if she couldn't confirm that this news was true.

"That's right, there's a large base in the basement under our house. You can go and take a look. If you go there and are unclear about the situation, you can video call me."

"But you have to be prepared before you go. Don't be scared by the situation there."

Su Yue smiled, "The things inside are confidential. You must treat these things as top-level secrets and absolutely not expose them."

His voice was very low, but it carried an unquestionable seriousness.
