274: New intelligence

Su Yue didn't react much when he saw Lin Jia follow him in, and he went straight to opening the drawer.

Sure enough, there was already a piece of intelligence inside the drawer at this time.

When Lin Jia saw this piece of intelligence, she couldn't help but feel a bit curious: "Su Yue, is this new intelligence again? What is it related to this time?"

The last time she helped Su Yue retrieve intelligence, Lin Jia later heard Su Yue say that they solved a case using that intelligence. After that, she had always been very curious about what kind of intelligence this intelligence system would reveal next.

It was just regrettable that even though she and Su Yue were roommates, because she was relatively busy with work, she rarely got to see the intelligence system refresh like this time.

And because of this, although she knew Su Yue had obtained a lot of intelligence from here, she didn't know what this intelligence was related to, so even though she was very curious, she didn't ask.

Now that she had such an opportunity, she naturally wouldn't miss it.

Because Lin Jia was a member of Yuan, and now Su Yue suspected that this matter might be related to Zhu Hua, Su Yue didn't hesitate when Lin Jia asked and just told her.

"Do you remember the news we saw a few days ago?"

Lin Jia was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what news Su Yue was talking about, and her face immediately turned a little pale.

She was a little surprised: "You mean the headless female corpse in the suburbs?"

As she spoke, Lin Jia even shivered, clearly traumatized by the terrifying news.

Su Yue nodded: "From the current perspective, that's the case. It's just that Police and I don't have much evidence, so it's hard to say for sure."

After her surprise, Lin Jia felt admiration for Su Yue, and the look in her eyes towards him was exceptionally fervent.

"Su Yue, you're really amazing."

Su Yue was suddenly stared at by Lin Jia with such admiration, and he was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little awkwardly.

"No, I just told Police what I knew. The main people handling the case are Liang Yuzhu and her team. They are the ones who are truly amazing."

At this moment, Lin Jia instantly understood why Su Yue had gotten so angry with her just now. After all, based on the information Su Yue currently possessed, he indeed had the capability to handle all troubles.

Although she hadn't told him with the intention of not wanting to cause him trouble, it was indeed just as Su Yue had said. Ultimately, it was because she didn't trust him that she was worried about causing him trouble.

If she could trust him a little more, all those trivial matters wouldn't have arisen.

Lin Jia, who had figured things out, suddenly felt embarrassed. Just now, she had apologized and said she admitted her mistake, but in reality, she still felt a bit unconvinced.

It wasn't until now, standing in this basement that Su Yue had transformed into a simple office and gym at some point, that Lin Jia suddenly realized she truly didn't understand Su Yue well enough.

The current Su Yue was no longer the quiet homebody she had always imagined him to be. He had the capital to contend with capital and the ability to not care about anyone's opinion.

He was no longer the cowardly fat otaku in her impression, and she had forgotten a very important point.

The fact that Su Yue could rescue her from such a dangerous place back then meant he was different, but she had forgotten this point and still didn't trust him.

Thinking that she had such a huge misunderstanding about Su Yue, Lin Jia's face actually turned a little red for a moment.

She lowered her head and apologized to Su Yue again, feeling a bit embarrassed. This time, she was full of sincerity.

"I'm sorry, Su Yue. This time, I was indeed wrong. I promise I will definitely correct myself in the future."

Su Yue was opening the document bag. Hearing this, he subconsciously looked up at Lin Jia, wondering why she had suddenly apologized.

"What?"

Lin Jia also knew that her sudden apology might make Su Yue very confused, but now that she had figured things out, she didn't care as much and was instead much more sincere.

"I'm talking about the matter where I didn't trust you and kept it from you before. What I did was indeed wrong, and I promise there won't be a next time."

Only when Su Yue heard Lin Jia say this did he know why she had suddenly apologized again.

However, Su Yue still carefully observed Lin Jia. Only when he didn't see any signs of dissatisfaction did he confirm that Lin Jia had truly figured things out this time.

Seeing her like this, Su Yue's anger, which had already subsided considerably, now completely vanished.

He hadn't originally intended to get angry with her. Now that she could clearly realize she had made a mistake and sincerely promised him she wouldn't do it again, Su Yue naturally wouldn't be angry with her about this matter anymore.

He nodded: "I know. You've already apologized. Let's just leave it at that. As long as you don't keep things from me in the future, it's fine."

Seeing that Su Yue truly didn't take this matter to heart, Lin Jia finally let out a complete sigh of relief.

She nodded: "Okay."

Speaking of which, Su Yue was indeed just as he said. In fact, when she started acting strangely, Su Yue had already subtly indicated that he could help her.

It was just that at the time, she was indeed worried that this matter would cause trouble for Su Yue, and it was because she was worried about causing Su Yue trouble that she kept it hidden and refused to speak.

Hearing Su Yue's familiar words now, Lin Jia only felt ashamed.

Su Yue didn't pay too much attention to Lin Jia's matter. This matter had already been put behind him the moment Lin Jia opened her mouth to apologize to him.

He opened the document bag, took out a photo from inside, and frowned.

He flipped through the document bag again and found there was nothing else inside.

Su Yue felt a bit helpless. This intelligence system seemed to be getting lazier and lazier. Before, it used to provide a lot of intelligence data, but now it was getting more and more convenient.

But it was also very possible that it was because the intelligence had been upgraded?

Is that why the intelligence these past few times has only given a photo or a receipt each time? Is it meant for him to solve the case on his own?

Su Yue just felt that although the intelligence system intended to let him solve cases personally and train his abilities, Su Yue himself didn't really like such troublesome case-solving; it would cause him a lot of trouble.

But after all, the intelligence system was his Director. He couldn't interfere with how it provided intelligence.

Looking at the photo above, Su Yue sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, this time the intelligence was much more specific than the last. The person in this photo was a beautiful woman.

Lin Jia naturally also saw Su Yue frowning and couldn't help but become curious.

"Can I see it?"

Su Yue nodded: "Yes, you are also a member of the organization, and you have the right to know the intelligence."

Saying that, Su Yue handed the photo to Lin Jia.

If Su Yue hadn't brought it up, she would have forgotten that she was actually still a member of Yuan.

She had been busy with performance targets a while ago, and lately, because Zhu Hua had messed up her life, she hadn't even had time to do things she liked.

It was just right that she could pick up her hobbies during this time off. Thinking this, Lin Jia took the photo, and after just one glance, she was so scared that she screamed.

"Ah!"

The photo fell onto the table as Lin Jia let go of it. On it was a beautiful image of the woman smiling faintly.

However, that photo, which was clearly very beautiful, now seemed like some kind of monstrous flood beast in Lin Jia's eyes. She looked at the person in the photo in terror.

Su Yue was also startled by Lin Jia's sudden fright. He looked at Lin Jia with some confusion, completely bewildered.

"Lin Jia, what's wrong? Do you know the person in the photo?"

The uneasy Lin Jia, upon hearing Su Yue's voice, nervously threw herself into Su Yue's arms, so scared that she was almost crying.

"I... I... She, wasn't she... wasn't she already dead a long time ago? Why would this photo suddenly appear?"

As soon as Su Yue heard Lin Jia's words, he knew she knew the woman in the photo and instantly became interested.

However, Lin Jia at this time was clearly greatly shocked by this news, and it wasn't a good time to try and get information from her.

Su Yue patted Lin Jia's back to soothe her agitated emotions while looking at the photo on the table and falling into thought.

On it was a photo of a woman sitting at a bar counter and smiling. The woman in the photo was very beautiful, and there was nothing unusual about the image. So why did Lin Jia react so strongly?

However, Lin Jia's emotions were too unstable right now. Although Su Yue was very curious, he didn't press Lin Jia like this but quietly waited for her to calm down.

Lin Jia kept leaning in Su Yue's arms. His embrace and large hands filled her with a sense of security. After an unknown amount of time passed, Lin Jia finally woke up from her previous fear.

Realizing that her current posture with Su Yue was ambiguous, Lin Jia instantly jumped out of Su Yue's arms, her heart pounding wildly.

"I... I... I'm sorry! I was too emotional just now, I really didn't mean to trouble you."

Su Yue furrowed his brow and emphasized to Lin Jia again: "Lin Jia, I told you, your matters are not trouble for me. I don't want to repeat it a third time."

Instantly, Lin Jia's face turned red with shame, and she lowered her head. After a while, she finally pointed at the photo and said evasively: "Su Yue, are you very curious about who this woman is? I'll tell you."

Lin Jia's ability to change the subject was very clumsy, but in order not to let Lin Jia fall back into a state of self-contemplation, Su Yue still cooperated by nodding.

"Mhm, go ahead and tell me."

Lin Jia took a deep breath and delved into a not-so-pleasant past experience.

"Actually, speaking of this person, she was still my benefactor. The fact that I can be a Sales Director now is thanks to her for bringing me into the industry back then."

"Her ability was also very strong, but she was different from me. She relied on 'that' to get so many orders, but this didn't affect her becoming a leader in the industry."

"She also worked very hard. Back then, I truly looked up to her as an idol to learn from."

"I don't know if it's a case of walking by the river too often eventually getting your shoes wet, but one day I went to work as usual and didn't see her. I thought she had taken leave and didn't pay much attention. Who knew I wouldn't see her for more than ten consecutive days?"

"After that, there were rumors that she was caught red-handed by the 'main wife' and was killed."

"At first, I didn't believe it, but when I went to her house, I just happened to find her parents angrily throwing her things out. Only then did I believe that something might have really happened to her."

Lin Jia's eyes held a hint of nostalgia, and she was somewhat lost in thought looking at the photo: "Speaking of which, it's already been three years. I didn't expect to see her photo again and still be so amazed."

Listening to Lin Jia's explanation, Su Yue also gained some understanding of the person in the photo, but after all, this was also hearsay that Lin Jia had heard. Many things couldn't be taken as truth, and there were quite a few contradictions within it.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yue asked: "Do you remember who your senior was involved with at that time?"

Speaking of this, Lin Jia's face immediately darkened, and her eyes flickered with raging anger.

"I remember now! Before she had trouble, she just happened to get involved with Zhu Hua! Zhu Hua had an arranged marriage at the time, but I don't know if this matter caused a stir, but after that, his wife divorced him."

"It was also from then on that Zhu Hua always harassed various beautiful women. No one in the circle had a good impression of him, but because he is the young master of the Zhu family, many people still cling to him."

Su Yue was surprised. He hadn't expected this matter to have such a direct connection with Zhu Hua.

However, this was exactly what Su Yue wanted to see. He was just worrying about how to deal with Zhu Hua, and unexpectedly, such a significant matter emerged.

Su Yue already had an idea at this time, but he didn't tell Lin Jia about it yet. He would wait until everything was settled before telling Lin Jia.

Otherwise, if he guessed wrong somewhere and the final outcome was unexpected, it would disappoint Lin Jia.

However, he still gently comforted Lin Jia: "Lin Jia, don't worry. If this matter is really related to Zhu Hua, I will definitely have Police arrest him and bring him to justice."

After being reminded by him like this, Lin Jia also instantly thought of something, and the look in her eyes towards him was very fervent.

"Oh right, I remember hearing back then that those people used money to buy off her family. At that time, her family didn't even report it to Police. Can this photo really help her punish those devils this time?"

Actually, speaking of this matter, the woman in the photo wasn't entirely innocent. After all, what she did was indeed wrong, and she was caught by the 'main wife'.

However, at this time, Lin Jia clearly already hated Zhu Hua intensely, and that woman was considered Lin Jia's benefactor. At such a moment, Su Yue naturally wouldn't say anything that would make Lin Jia angry.

He nodded: "Don't worry, if something is really found out, Captain Liang's team will definitely not let those culprits go immediately."

Lin Jia also knew Liang Yuzhu and knew what kind of person she was. After hearing Su Yue say this, she finally felt completely relieved, and she nodded heavily.

"Okay! If you need my help with this matter, I will definitely help."

Su Yue patted Lin Jia's head and said: "There's no rush with this matter. You should go back and get some good rest first. You're tired enough today."

After being reminded by Su Yue like this, Lin Jia's nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed. Immediately, fatigue also swept over her entire body, and she instantly felt exhausted.

As soon as Su Yue saw Lin Jia like this, he knew she was very sleepy now and quickly urged: "Go back and take a shower and sleep."

Lin Jia now completely believed in Su Yue's ability and felt very reassured by him at this moment.

She nodded and walked out of the basement.

After Lin Jia left, Su Yue called Liang Yuzhu.

Perhaps Liang Yuzhu had made good progress these past few days. This time when Su Yue called, the other side picked up instantly.

The other party was a little excited: "Su Yue, I've found some progress."
