260: I am here
Su Yue asking Lin Jia this was actually him thinking of introducing a few people to Lin Jia, wanting to help her.
After all, whether it was the wealthy businessmen and women Lan Zijun introduced him to at the previous banquet, or the rich families he had met by selling information during this time, he still held significant influence in their eyes.
He believed that as long as he introduced Lin Jia to them, those people would definitely help boost Lin Jia's performance.
It was even very likely that without him saying anything, someone would proactively help Lin Jia's performance, just to get on his good side.
Su Yue was quite aware of his own capabilities.
However, while Su Yue was thinking about which rich and easily fooled people he could introduce to Lin Jia, Lin Jia kept rejecting his help outright.
She said, "Su Yue, you don't need to worry about my performance. I can do it."
Lin Jia's current position was entirely achieved through her own hard work. Now, she was just missing the performance from a few socialites. She wasn't without other resources, so she wasn't at all worried about her performance.
She also knew that she had offended the Zhu family today, and it was likely that the Zhu family had already sent out messages for people in the circle to avoid her. However, Lin Jia still didn't take this issue to heart at all.
She wasn't so easily bullied now.
Seeing Lin Jia's calm expression, Su Yue knew that Lin Jia really wasn't worried about her performance and nodded.
"Okay, if you can't meet your performance goals, you can tell me. I know some people who should be able to help you."
Lin Jia was touched that Su Yue was willing to help her at this time and felt very happy, unable to completely control the curve of her lips.
However, Lin Jia didn't dare let Su Yue notice her abnormality, so she could only force herself to nod calmly, "Okay, I'll ask for your help if I have trouble."
Suddenly, Lin Jia thought of something, and her expression turned a little ugly: "Su Yue, I just remembered that Zhu Hua has always had the nickname 'Mad Dog' in the circle. You offended him today by helping me. I'm worried that you might be targeted by him because of this."
As she spoke, Lin Jia's mood clearly became dejected.
"I'm sorry, Su Yue, it's all because of me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been disgusted by someone like that."
Su Yue immediately retorted to Lin Jia: "Lin Jia, what are you talking about? How can you blame yourself for this? This is all because that Pigsy was delusional and wanted to eat swan meat. You are not wrong at all."
"And you were unnecessarily disgusted by such a pig head. You are the most innocent one."
Lin Jia was slightly stunned, a little slow to react to Su Yue's words.
Seeing that Lin Jia was really blaming herself for everything, Su Yue's expression became even worse.
"Lin Jia, neither of us was wrong about this today. Anyone in our position wouldn't have a good attitude towards this pig head. In fact, I think you are very admirable for being able to stand up bravely without fear of power."
Su Yue's eyes were too sincere, and Lin Jia, who had originally wanted to argue, couldn't find a reason to refute. In the end, she acquiesced to Su Yue's statement.
Seeing that Lin Jia didn't refute him, Su Yue knew that she had taken his words to heart, and quickly said, "Lin Jia, you don't need to worry about me. His little tricks are nothing to me at all. I'll be fine."
Lin Jia frowned: "The Zhu family has a high status in our City. Although I don't know what tricks he will use, it's not something we can handle."
Seeing Lin Jia so concerned about him, Su Yue couldn't help but smile, a little smugly: "Lin Jia, are you worried about me?"
Lin Jia subconsciously frowned. They were discussing a serious matter right now, and she didn't want to see this frivolous side of Su Yue.
"Su Yue," Lin Jia's tone became a little more serious.
Su Yue smiled and patted Lin Jia on the head, his tone very firm and confident.
"Don't worry, your Su Ge is not easy to mess with in the City now. It's just a Zhu family, I don't take them seriously."
"As for you, you must be careful when you go to work later. I'm worried that this mad dog will go crazy on you."
For a moment, Lin Jia didn't know whether to complain about Su Yue's confidence or marvel at how he repeatedly gave Zhu Hua nicknames, and very unpleasant ones at that.
However, Lin Jia calmed down and thought about Su Yue's words, realizing that the current Su Yue did indeed have the capital to say such things.
After all, he was Yuan!
Who doesn't know the famous Yuan now?
Even people from above want to connect with Yuan. How could Yuan take a mere Zhu family to heart?
However, having figured it out, Lin Jia was even more at a loss for words. After all, given Yuan's status, it was normal for him to look down on the Zhu family. It was just that Lin Jia couldn't help but worry about Su Yue.
"Su Yue, are you sure you'll really be okay?"
Lin Jia knew that Su Yue didn't want to tell the public that he was Yuan. So, those who didn't know his true identity would only think he was a small employee at Far View (Yuantu). He had no power, and someone like that was very easy to bully.
Su Yue nodded affirmatively: "Lin Jia, don't worry, I'm fine."
After confirming repeatedly that Su Yue's face showed nothing but confidence, without a trace of panic, Lin Jia, who had been very worried about Su Yue, gradually relaxed.
She nodded: "Okay, since you're so sure, I'm relieved. But if Zhu Hua really tries to do something to you, you must tell me."
Although Lin Jia didn't have the ability to contend with the Zhu family, she could still cause some trouble for Zhu Hua.
Su Yue knew that Lin Jia was feeling uneasy at this time because she had caused him trouble, so he didn't refuse her kindness.
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Lin Jia drove Su Yue home, but she didn't get out of the car with him.
"Su Yue, I still have something to deal with. You go home and rest first. You worked hard today. I'll add extra food for everyone tonight."
Su Yue instinctively thought that Lin Jia was still trying to avoid him and couldn't help but frown: "Lin Jia, I won't make things difficult for you, and you don't have to keep hiding from me."
Lin Jia also stiffened for a moment before realizing what Su Yue meant. Although she felt embarrassed, Lin Jia still forced herself to explain: "No, I really have something to do."
Su Yue looked Lin Jia up and down with suspicion. Lin Jia's face turned red under his gaze. Finally, Su Yue reluctantly shifted his gaze away.
He nodded: "Alright, if you say you don't, then you don't."
Lin Jia got a headache hearing Su Yue say this.
Su Yue's words clearly meant he didn't believe her!
However, Lin Jia knew that no matter how she explained, Su Yue wouldn't believe that she really had something to do. Therefore, even though she was unwilling, she could only grit her teeth and accept Su Yue's slander.
Looking at Su Yue's retreating back, Lin Jia felt both shy and annoyed, thinking that she shouldn't have said anything just now and should have just left.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that after she got drunk, Su Yue was much more enthusiastic than usual.
Lin Jia's thoughts were running wild, when she suddenly remembered that she really did have something to do. She quickly started the car and left.

The next day, Su Yue and Tian Yuwei went to look at a house.
Su Yue looked at the increasingly remote road and frowned: "Tian Yuwei, isn't it not so good for you to choose such a remote place?"
Because Su Yue's company had been a bit busy these past few days, he hadn't checked beforehand what kind of house Tian Yuwei had chosen. He only felt that something was wrong when he saw the increasingly remote road.
Tian Yuwei didn't have much of an opinion about the remoteness. She was even a little surprised: "Ah? Is it okay if it's remote? I have too many paparazzi around me, and I don't want my private life to be exposed. I think it's quite good if it's a bit remote."
Su Yue was still a little uneasy: "But the facilities in remote places are not perfect. If something happens, it will greatly delay the optimal rescue time."
Hearing this, Tian Yuwei frowned: "What you said makes sense, but since we're already here, why don't we take a look first?"
Su Yue had originally planned to look at the house, but hearing Tian Yuwei's tone, he noticed something was off.
"Tian Yuwei, did the agent say something to you? You seem quite satisfied with this place."
Tian Yuwei nodded, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at Su Yue.
"You guessed correctly. I really got along well with this agent. He's a very good person. He knew I didn't like to expose my privacy, so he specifically chose a very private community for me."
Su Yue now looked at Tian Yuwei as if looking at a foolish child who was clearly being deceived and even helping others count money. He completely disagreed that the agent she mentioned was a good person.
However, because he hadn't met the other party yet and didn't know if all this was just his illusion, Su Yue didn't show it directly, only reminding her: "Tian Yuwei, it's always better to be careful in everything."
Tian Yuwei now had a shadow over Su Yue's warnings.
It was because of his warnings that she discovered that her best friend of many years was actually a green tea, and that person even wanted her life. Today, when looking at a house, Su Yue warned her again to be careful in everything.
Instantly, Tian Yuwei's mind was filled with a bunch of horrifying murder and burial cases. The good mood she had from finding a satisfactory house instantly vanished, and a chill arose in her heart.
She hugged her arms a little fearfully and tentatively said: "Sh... should... shouldn't be? I'm just buying a house."
Although Su Yue didn't want to scare Tian Yuwei until she trembled, looking at the clearly abandoned construction site, his heart couldn't settle down.
However, after he scared her like this, Tian Yuwei, who hadn't noticed the abnormality around her before, did feel that something was wrong here. This was also a good thing for her.
He deliberately lowered his voice and said in Tian Yuwei's ear: "Who knows? Some people just like big stars."
Tian Yuwei was instantly so scared that she jumped and directly threw herself into Su Yue's arms.
Su Yue hadn't expected Tian Yuwei to hug him directly and froze in place.
Tian Yuwei was so scared that her soul was gone, so she naturally didn't notice Su Yue's abnormality and just hugged him and cried and howled.
"N... no... no way? I... I didn't... didn't do anything... Don't... don't kill me..."
Su Yue had originally just wanted to tease Tian Yuwei, but who knew that he accidentally went too far and Tian Yuwei was directly scared to tears by him.
For a moment, Su Yue was also a little at a loss and could only stiffly comfort Tian Yuwei.
"It's okay, aren't I here? How could I let anything happen to you?"
Tian Yuwei's emotions stabilized a lot because of Su Yue's words. However, just as she was about to get out of Su Yue's arms, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The other party stared fiercely at the two people hugging each other: "It's the two of you, right! You dare to run to a deserted place to fool around in broad daylight. Today, we brothers are going to take you for the heavens!"
"Brothers, go!"
Su Yue, Tian Yuwei: "..."
For a moment, they didn't know which one to complain about.
But what they said didn't matter. They had clearly made up their minds not to let them go easily. More than twenty people rushed directly towards them, all holding weapons in their hands.
This was the first time Tian Yuwei had experienced something like this, and she was so scared that her legs went soft.
Su Yue knew that his combat strength was not strong and he definitely couldn't beat so many people, especially since he had Tian Yuwei with him now. It would probably not be easy for the two of them to leave here alive.
Looking at their stance, they were probably specifically here to ambush them.
Su Yue saw the killing intent on the other side and didn't dare to hesitate. He pulled Tian Yuwei and ran back.
"Run! They really want to kill us."
These people were ferocious and looked like desperadoes. One such person was enough to cause them trouble, and now there were more than twenty. If they hesitated for another second, they would probably really die here.
Tian Yuwei was greatly frightened by Su Yue's mention of killing and looked at Su Yue in horror, only to find that Su Yue's face was full of seriousness at this time, and she immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
He was telling the truth!
Tian Yuwei had never experienced anything like this before and was so scared that her face turned pale. However, Su Yue held her hand tightly and pulled her outwards with all his strength. Even though Tian Yuwei was shocked, she knew that now was not the time to think too much.
Escaping was the most important thing!
Although they didn't know why these people suddenly appeared and wanted to kill them, they could only try their best to escape and find a way out.
However, this was an abandoned project, and there was no one within a ten-mile radius. They had taken a taxi when they came just now, and that taxi had long since left.
At this time, Tian Yuwei couldn't help but regret why she had easily fallen for someone else's trick again, actually thinking that this kind of abandoned place was the safest and that only here would there be no paparazzi harassment.
Now it was good, they were indeed safe and would no longer be harassed by paparazzi, but the price was that they could be cut to death at any minute.
Tian Yuwei felt extremely guilty and her voice was a little choked: "I... I'm sorry, Su Yue, I harmed you."
Su Yue knew that this was not the time to think wildly, so he reminded Tian Yuwei: "Tian Yuwei, don't think nonsense. The most important thing now is to escape. We'll talk about anything else later."
Tears flowed from Tian Yuwei's eyes, and finally, she nodded affirmatively: "Okay!"
Tian Yuwei, who had sobered up, no longer thought wildly and tried her best to keep up with Su Yue's pace. The two ran very fast.
That group of people didn't expect Su Yue and the other person to react so quickly and escape in time. They were stunned for a while before chasing after them, shouting as they ran: "Don't run! You won't escape today!"
"If you obey, I can still leave you a whole corpse!"
However, with their lives on the line, how could Su Yue and Tian Yuwei not run?
It was just that although they both exercised regularly, they were no match for the desperadoes. Soon, their speed visibly slowed down.
The people chasing them from behind naturally realized this and laughed extremely wildly.
"Hahaha, can't run anymore, can you? Don't worry, my hands are very steady. I guarantee I'll make your lives worse than death."
Tian Yuwei gritted her teeth. Her head hurt a little because of the excessive exercise, but she didn't dare to stop for a moment.
"Su Yue, what should we do?"
