266: New intelligence

Although Lan Zijun also felt a bit embarrassed, she ultimately bit the bullet and said to Yang Qingmei, "Send me that photo."

Yang Qingmei was startled, and subconsciously looked at Lan Zijun, her heart still a little uneasy, worried that Lan Zijun would question their actions.

They had clearly said when they created the group that the content couldn't be known by the two people involved, so how did Lan Zijun know about this now, and even clearly know about the photo that had just been circulated in their group?

However, Yang Qingmei had spent so much time with Lan Zijun, and although Lan Zijun still had her usual cold, expressionless face, Yang Qingmei somehow just had a feeling that Lan Zijun wasn't actually angry.

After repeatedly confirming that her intuition wasn't wrong, Yang Qingmei also completely breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, the creation of this group had a little something to do with Li Haoyang; if Lan Zijun really wanted to investigate, Li Haoyang probably wouldn't be able to escape responsibility this time.

Although she knew the company hadn't explicitly stated that they couldn't create private gossip groups, such a bold act as creating a private group to gossip about the President would only be overlooked by Lan Zijun because she was a good person.

If Lan Zijun really wanted to pursue responsibility, those of them who happily shipped couples every day would also have to pay the price.

However, since Li Haoyang was Yang Qingmei's boyfriend, she naturally didn't want to see him punished by Lan Zijun.

Now that Lan Zijun wasn't angry about this matter, Yang Qingmei also breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Under Lan Zijun's obviously eager gaze, Yang Qingmei still sent the photo saved on her phone to Lan Zijun.

When Lan Zijun saw the slightly intimate photo of her and Su Yue again, her heart surged, but her face wore a cold expression.

"Okay, I'm fine now, you can go out."

Yang Qingmei cautiously glanced at Lan Zijun and saw that after taking one look, she continued to bury herself in work, showing no intention of dwelling on them slacking off and gossiping during work hours. Only then did Yang Qingmei truly feel relieved.

What Yang Qingmei didn't know was that Lan Zijun, whom she saw as completely unconnected to romantic feelings, immediately picked up her phone after she left.

Lan Zijun first saved and downloaded the photo, then pinched it with two fingers, zoomed in, and carefully studied Su Yue.

Her face held an obvious smile, her eyes curved, showing none of the workaholic appearance she had just moments ago, focused only on work.

Unlike the company-wide gossip at Far View (Yuantu), the President's office at Zhu family's company, not far away, was filled with icy coldness.

A certain fat, big-headed man didn't get his wish to see Su Yue fired from Far View (Yuantu); Lan Zijun even personally spoke favorably of Su Yue and demanded that he apologize to Su Yue, causing him to directly smash his phone.

Zhu Hua cursed furiously, "Damn it, why did Lan Zijun suddenly pop out to protect Su Yue!"

The assistant nearby was so scared his body trembled, not daring to speak up and provoke Zhu Hua at this moment.

However, Zhu Hua's anger wouldn't subside just like that. Seeing the assistant didn't answer, he glared at him and cursed him out, "What are you doing standing there like a block of wood? Hurry up and go investigate for me!"

The assistant answered with a trembling body, "Yes!"

The assistant's obedience didn't improve Zhu Hua's mood much. Thinking that he had already used the Zhu family to threaten Far View (Yuantu), yet that bitch Lan Zijun hadn't taken his threat seriously at all.

Lan Zijun even slapped his face in front of so many people and demanded that he apologize to that scumbag Su Yue.

Zhu Hua had been the young master of the Zhu family since he was a child; when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

The more Zhu Hua thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he kicked the sofa, but his luck was bad. Not only did he fail to knock the sofa over, but he also happened to kick the corner of the sofa table. The moment his fat foot hit the hard sofa leg, he yelped and jumped in pain.

"Ah! Damn it, even the sofa dares to bully me!"

Zhu Hua looked at the sofa with an exceptionally resentful gaze, but this time he didn't dare to act rashly again and could only attribute this matter to Su Yue.

If it weren't for Su Yue, how could his smooth life have repeatedly gone wrong?

It was this poor loser who stole his person, and this bumpkin who caused him to lose face at Far View (Yuantu) and the company. He would not let him off.

The assistant was very efficient, and the matter between Su Yue and Lan Zijun had already spread throughout the entire company, so the assistant didn't spend much time clarifying what was going on.

When the assistant appeared in the President's office again, Zhu Hua was sitting on the sofa like a ball, applying medicine to his foot.

The kick he just made had actually broken the skin. At first, he didn't feel anything, but it got more and more painful later, and his foot even bled.

Zhu Hua hated Su Yue even more.

Seeing the assistant enter, his tone was also very unfriendly, "Speak!"

The assistant didn't dare provoke the furious Zhu Hua and tremblingly told Zhu Hua what he had heard.

"Reporting, Zhu Zong, I asked a friend who works at Far View (Yuantu). The other party said that Su Yue has always had a close relationship with President Lan. President Lan even invited Su Yue to be her male companion before, and the two people involved have never clarified it."

"Wh- ... Hiss! Damn." Zhu Hua got excited and poured too much disinfectant, causing him to grimace in pain.

But Zhu Hua's gaze towards the assistant was terrifying and frightening, as if he wanted to eat him.

"Lan Zijun is close to that loser and even invited him to be her male companion? How could someone like Lan Zijun take a liking to this kind of useless man?"

The assistant kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.

Although the assistant was also shocked that Lan Zijun had actually taken a liking to Su Yue, this was clearly not the time for him to express his opinion, otherwise Zhu Hua would definitely catch him and give him a good scolding.

The assistant being able to become Zhu Hua's assistant clearly meant he had some capability.

Seeing that the assistant didn't speak, Zhu Hua knew this was the truth and was so angry that he almost crushed the disinfectant in his hand.

He gnashed his teeth, "No wonder that bitch suddenly showed up to protect that kept man. Turns out she's also that kept man's sugar mommy."

Thinking that he had tried everything to get a good reaction from Lin Jia, yet this shameless bitch turned around and found a kept man, Zhu Hua simply couldn't swallow this anger.

He, the dignified young master of the Zhu family, was actually inferior to a kept man!

However, now Lan Zijun had clearly taken Su Yue's side, even directly stating that they at Far View (Yuantu) didn't care about the Zhu family's business.

Although these words were arrogant, Zhu Hua also knew they were the truth, and it was precisely because of this truth that Zhu Hua was furious.

Originally, the Zhu family didn't think highly of Far View (Yuantu) and didn't cooperate with their company.

Who knew that Far View (Yuantu) had developed so well in recent years, even showing signs of expanding overseas?

Only then did the Zhu family start to take an interest in Far View (Yuantu) and want to cooperate with them.

To prove his ability, Zhu Hua directly took over this project and changed the original large project into a smaller one, hoping to connect with Far View (Yuantu) while also getting rid of that bumpkin Su Yue.

Who knew that he didn't manage to deal with Su Yue, and instead was very likely to ruin the cooperation between the two families?

Zhu Hua's face turned dark, but Lan Zijun's demand that he apologize to Su Yue was something Zhu Hua could never do.

Zhu Hua looked at the assistant sinisterly and said, "I don't care what method you use, we must sign the original contract with Far View (Yuantu)."

The assistant's scalp tingled under Zhu Hua's gaze, and after hearing his words clearly, he felt even more miserable.

However, he was just an employee. Even knowing this was absolutely impossible, he had to bite the bullet and nod.

Zhu Hua wasn't interested in how miserable the assistant was and directly chased him out.

However, knowing that Lan Zijun was on Su Yue's side, Zhu Hua also knew that this matter wouldn't be easy to resolve. To be on the safe side, he still made a phone call.

The moment the call connected, Zhu Hua forced a smile, and the rolls of fat on his face piled up, making him look even uglier.

"Wang Ge, how have you been recently?"

The other party was very disdainful of Zhu Hua's fawning and sneered contemptuously, "Kid, every time you contact me, it's nothing good. Tell me, who do you want me to deal with this time? Don't worry, I, Lao Wang, never take action myself."

Zhu Hua chuckled, "I naturally believe in Wang Ge's strength. I'm looking for you today..."

After explaining the matter he needed help with clearly, Zhu Hua hung up the phone and then transferred a five million deposit to the other party.

As soon as the call ended, Zhu Hua instantly put away his fawning smile and spat sinisterly.

"Tch! Don't you get too proud, I'll definitely find someone to deal with you someday."

"Ding dong—"

The notification sound from the intelligence system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly rang, and Su Yue's eyes lit up.

This time, he wondered which rich person with money to burn was sending him money?

After receiving so much intelligence, Su Yue was much calmer about it now. He slowly finished his work, and when it was time, Su Yue left punctually.

Speaking of which, he also had to thank Zhu Hua for causing such a fuss. Originally, the Team Leader saw that the client had directly designated Su Yue to do market research and thought of letting him perform well in front of the client, so he hadn't assigned him any new tasks recently.

Who knew, just as they had thought, Zhu Hua was deliberately targeting Su Yue.

The market research report hadn't even been looked at, and the two companies had already started arguing. The other party's people had even left their company group, clearly indicating they didn't intend to continue cooperating with them.

Therefore, Su Yue, who was originally still needed for the project, suddenly relaxed and felt somewhat idle.

Feeling a bit bored, Su Yue thought everyone else was busy, and he was the only one who couldn't find anything to do, making him feel out of place. Only then did he go back to the Team Leader and ask for some tasks.

However, Su Yue's work had already been distributed by the Team Leader, and he only gave him a simpler task because he saw Su Yue was bored.

This simple task could actually be finished by Su Yue in an hour, but he still dragged it out until half an hour before getting off work to slowly complete it.

Slacking off, he was good at it.

Riding his electric bike home, Su Yue went straight to the basement to check the latest intelligence.

This intelligence was still a B-level mission, and inside was a stack of receipts for purchasing knives.

It wasn't the first time Su Yue had received intelligence about receipts, but it was the first time he had seen more than ten receipts for purchasing items.

And his intelligence system had never made a mistake, meaning the other party must have bought knives and done something.

As for this possibility, even if the intelligence system didn't say it directly, Su Yue could tell what was going on.

Holding the receipts and patting them in his palm, Su Yue's mood was very complicated.

It seems this killer isn't simple. To have bought so many knives, he must have many lives on his hands.

Su Yue knew this matter wasn't something he could solve alone, so after just one second of thought, Su Yue called Liang Yuzhu.

Unlike usual when Liang Yuzhu would answer his call, this time Liang Yuzhu didn't answer his call until it hung up.

Su Yue also knew that Liang Yuzhu's work was very busy, but this was the first time Su Yue had caught her during a busy period.

Seeing that it was already 8 PM and Liang Yuzhu still wasn't finished with work, combined with the knife receipts in his hand, Su Yue also knew that something big had probably happened.

In the end, Su Yue didn't continue calling her but sent her a message instead.

"I just received new intelligence. I think this matter might be related to what you're busy with." He then took a photo of the stack of receipts and sent it to Liang Yuzhu.

Su Yue only saw Liang Yuzhu's reply when he woke up the next day; she had replied to him at 3:46 AM.

"Yes! The knives bought on these receipts are exactly the same as the murder weapon the forensic doctor suspected. Su Yue, if you have any more information related to this, you must tell me."

Although Su Yue had already guessed the truth, hearing Liang Yuzhu mention 'forensic doctor' and 'murder weapon' still made him sigh inwardly.

He counted them; there were a total of 17 receipts here. Although the knives purchased and the stores on each receipt were different, they were all mostly large machetes and boning knives.

Although he didn't know where the other party found so many stores that could sell so many controlled knives, just based on these receipts, he knew that there were at least over ten people who had died by his hand.

What a terrifying existence this was. This person had such severe antisocial personality disorder; no wonder Liang Yuzhu was busy until the early hours of the morning.

Just as Su Yue had thought, the news began reporting related content early in the morning.

"Recently, a headless female body was discovered in the southern suburbs. After investigation by Police, it was found that the female body was a Ms. Wu who had been missing for three years..."

Lin Jia and Tian Yuwei, who were originally smiling while eating breakfast, both instinctively shivered.

Lin Jia looked at the TV with particular heartache, "Oh my god, this girl is too tragic. She's being tormented like this even after death."

Just hearing the host briefly introduce the situation of the person, Tian Yuwei felt a little scared.

She nodded in agreement and shrank back into her chair.

"This is too terrifying, Jiajia. You should still be careful when you go out. It's better to be safe than sorry!"

Lin Jia also knew about the things Tian Yuwei and Su Yue had experienced before, so she in turn cautioned Tian Yuwei.

"I'm fine, but you, although you stay at home every day now, you should still be careful."

Lin Jia's words weren't meant to mock Tian Yuwei. Tian Yuwei also knew Lin Jia was concerned about her, but after being reminded by Lin Jia like this, she also remembered that among the three of them, she was probably the most easily deceived.

For a moment, Tian Yuwei also smiled awkwardly and nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, I'm a brand new Tian Yuwei now and won't be easily fooled."

"However, the online rumors about me have already been clarified, and I plan to return to work."
