277: New Newsletter
However, because Su Yue had told Lin Jia to return to her room to rest first, when he came out of the basement, he did not immediately disturb her rest.
Early the next morning, when Su Yue woke up, Lin Jia was already up and had prepared breakfast for everyone.
Seeing Su Yue wake up, Lin Jia smiled: "Su Yue, you're up? Hurry and wash up for breakfast."
Seeing Lin Jia in such a good mood, Su Yue was also in a good mood. He nodded and walked to the bathroom to freshen up.
When Su Yue sat at the dining table, Lin Jia also handed him the bowl of congee she had prepared for him.
"This is preserved egg and lean meat congee I simmered this morning. See if it suits your taste."
Su Yue looked at the delicious and tempting preserved egg and lean meat congee in front of him and smiled: "Lin Jia, the breakfast you make is definitely delicious. I really like it."
Lin Jia felt helpless about Su Yue's thoughtless praise, but her face flushed because of his compliments.
She glared at Su Yue in embarrassment and anger: "You haven't even eaten it, so how do you know if this congee is good? Su Yue, what you said is too insincere."
Su Yue, however, didn't pay much mind to Lin Jia's reproach. Instead, he had a look of composure.
"Lin Jia, I'm already very grateful that you spent time making food for me. No matter what you make, it's the most delicious to me."
Lin Jia was already feeling shy because of Su Yue's praise, and now hearing him say that, she felt even more embarrassed.
Feeling too shy to look at Su Yue, Lin Jia finally buried her head in her bowl, not daring to look at Su Yue again.
Only her exposed ears had turned red at some point, something Lin Jia didn't notice, but Su Yue did, making him feel even better.
However, Su Yue suddenly thought of the topic he hadn't discussed with Lin Jia last night, and his face immediately fell.
Although he shouldn't bring up such a topic that would make them feel bad during such a warm moment, in order to prevent anything from happening to Lin Jia, even if he didn't want to bring up these topics, he had to tell Lin Jia.
He took a bite of the congee, confirmed that it was indeed as delicious as he had said, then looked at Lin Jia with a serious expression, his voice deepening slightly.
"Lin Jia."
Su Yue suddenly called out Lin Jia's name seriously. Lin Jia was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him in confusion, wondering why Su Yue was suddenly speaking to her so seriously.
She asked blankly: "What's wrong? Does the congee not suit your taste? Should I make you something else?"
Su Yue shook his head and explained: "No, Lin Jia, I just have something to tell you."
Su Yue's expression was too serious, instantly bringing Lin Jia, who was somewhat out of it, back to her senses. She also suppressed her curiosity, looked at Su Yue with a puzzled expression, and her demeanor became a bit more serious.
Su Yue didn't deliberately hide it from Lin Jia and directly told her: "Lin Jia, you should still remember the headless body in the suburbs, right?"
This case caused too much of a stir, and now online, there are all sorts of wild speculations about it.
Lin Jia, bored at home, naturally spent a lot of energy on it and was very curious about the development of this case.
Moreover, she had discussed topics related to this case with Su Yue last night, so she naturally understood the case.
However, Su Yue hadn't spoken to her in such a serious tone last night, and Lin Jia instantly had a bad feeling in her heart. She also became serious for no reason.
She asked: "Su Yue, have you discovered something else?"
Su Yue nodded. Seeing that Lin Jia was not as scared as before when talking about this case, he felt a little relieved.
He told her: "Lin Jia, I suspect this case might be related to Zhu Hua. You must be careful these days. If you have to go out, you must take me with you."
"What?" Lin Jia was instantly terrified by Su Yue's words, looking at Su Yue in disbelief.
Su Yue had also guessed that what he said would scare Lin Jia badly. He was very calm when he saw her face turn completely pale from his words.
His gaze softened a little, and he gently comforted Lin Jia.
"This is actually just my guess, but you can rest assured, Police have already started investigating Zhu Hua, and I believe they will soon be able to figure out what this case is all about."
"But for your safety, before things are investigated clearly, you must be careful and try not to go out. Even if you have to go out, you must come with me."
Under Su Yue's comfort, Lin Jia gradually calmed her agitated emotions. After thinking for a while, she also nodded seriously.
"I understand. I will try my best to stay home during this time. I'm also tired, so I can take this opportunity to get some good rest."
Although Lin Jia didn't know why Zhu Hua would suddenly be connected to a murder case, after all, in her eyes, Zhu Hua was just a second-generation rich kid with no ability, who only bullied others by relying on his power.
Although he was bad, in Lin Jia's impression, he didn't seem like the type of person who wouldn't care about human lives and would wantonly destroy them.
However, Lin Jia didn't know much about Zhu Hua to begin with, and her past interactions with him were all under Zhu Hua's threats. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed normal for such a person to truly not care about human lives.
Therefore, although Lin Jia was shocked, she quickly figured it out and instantly accepted that Zhu Hua was likely the executioner who had taken several lives.
Thinking that she had almost gotten involved with such a terrifying person, Lin Jia immediately got goosebumps out of fear and even felt a little nauseous.
Fortunately, she had asked Su Yue for help at that time. Otherwise, she couldn't even imagine how devastated she would be if Zhu Hua had succeeded.
Fortunately, none of this happened, and it won't happen again.
Su Yue also knew that what he said would greatly impact Lin Jia, so Su Yue gave Lin Jia ample time to consider.
However, seeing that Lin Jia was first startled, and then quickly recovered, he was a little surprised by how quickly she was able to recover, followed by admiration for her.
Su Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'As expected of Lin Jia, she was able to accept so quickly that her harasser might be a murderer.'
His face also showed admiration for Lin Jia: "Lin Jia, don't worry. If Zhu Hua is really plotting these cases behind the scenes, I will definitely not let him off easily, and you won't be harmed either."
Having been with Su Yue for so many years and having been saved by him so many times, Lin Jia now completely trusted Su Yue and had unconditional trust in his words.
Lin Jia nodded heavily and said with certainty: "I believe you, Su Yue."
Su Yue was also very happy that Lin Jia could completely trust him. He changed from his previous serious demeanor when talking to Lin Jia, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."
Lin Jia nodded: "Actually, the company sent me a message not long ago saying I could go back to work, but because of this matter, I plan to take my annual leave again."

"I can also take this opportunity to think about whether I should start my own business."
This was the second time Lin Jia said she was considering starting her own business. It was clear that her wavering resolve this time was much stronger than the last.
However, although Su Yue saw Lin Jia's wavering heart, he didn't directly point out her thoughts but let her think it through carefully herself.
"You can indeed think about this carefully, but no matter what you ultimately choose, I will stand by you."
Lin Jia's conflicted heart paused, and then she lowered her head and nodded sheepishly.
"Okay, I will think it through carefully."
Su Yue knew that Lin Jia could figure out her future path herself, so he didn't make things difficult for her at this time.
After finishing breakfast, he told her to stay home obediently and not wander around alone, before riding his electric bike back to the company.
On the way, Su Yue's phone, which belonged exclusively to 'Yuan', suddenly rang. Su Yue felt a little strange, wondering why someone would contact 'Yuan' at this hour.
However, because he was at a crossroads, he didn't easily stop his bike to check what was going on.
By the time Su Yue remembered the unread message again, it was already lunchtime.
It was the end of the quarter, and although the Team Leader had tried his best to reduce Su Yue's workload, as a member of the team, Su Yue was also very busy at the end of the quarter.
Also, he didn't know if it was because too many people in the company recently found out about the relationship between Su Yue and Lan Zijun, but there were always many people using work as an excuse to inquire about and observe Su Yue, or chat with Su Yue to get closer to him.
Su Yue was very tired of dealing with these colleagues who clearly had ulterior motives, but they were like they couldn't understand his implicit disdain, insisting on clinging to him, no matter how he tried to avoid them.
In the end, Su Yue could only pretend these people didn't exist to get a moment of respite.
After finally finishing lunch and returning to his post, with no extra people bothering him, Su Yue also remembered the message he had forgotten and quickly took out his phone to check who had sent a message to Yuan.
The other party was an unknown number, but after reading the message sent by the other party, Su Yue instantly realized who the other party was.
Su Yue looked at the message on the screen and found it somewhat amusing.
He was worrying about how to contact the other party, and who knew, the other party contacted him first. Was this the legendary telepathy?
However, Su Yue also knew that the other party really had something to ask of him. After clearly seeing the other party's request, he also readily sent him a message.
"No problem, I will help you resolve this matter."
The one who sent the message was precisely the Hacker Su Yue had been considering recruiting into the organization these past few days. Recently, the Hacker had also become entangled in a case, and he was very likely to be framed and imprisoned.
The Hacker didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually sent a distress message directly to Su Yue.
However, the Hacker's call for help didn't come to the wrong person. The current Su Yue indeed had the ability to help the Hacker.
Logically, the Hacker should also be able to help himself, but the person who framed the Hacker this time clearly knew the Hacker very well.
If the Hacker really invaded the other party's computer to find evidence of the other party framing him, then he would truly have fallen into the other party's trap.
The Hacker clearly also knew that the other party had dug a big pit for him. The Hacker would naturally not stubbornly fall into a big pit even though he knew it was there.
Therefore, the Hacker urgently contacted 'Yuan' with a glimmer of hope that it might make things more complicated.
After all, the name 'Yuan' is now known to everyone. If 'Yuan' could really help him, then he would very likely still have a chance to escape the other party's targeting.
Moreover, the Hacker was also thinking that he had already researched so much information for 'Yuan', so 'Yuan' should not refuse this request of his.
Therefore, the Hacker contacted 'Yuan' with a last glimmer of hope.
However, it was indeed as the Hacker thought. When Su Yue learned that the Hacker had encountered a problem, he simply thought about it for a moment and directly agreed to help him.
After all, Su Yue had originally planned to find an opportunity to test the Hacker and see if he was suitable to become a member of the organization.
Now that this opportunity was right in front of him, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
After sending a message to the Hacker, Su Yue sent another message to Liang Yuzhu.
As the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, Liang Yuzhu could better handle this kind of framing.
However, because Liang Yuzhu had been busy with the case of the unidentified body during this period, Su Yue didn't bother Liang Yuzhu at such a critical time. He just asked her to help keep an eye out for any related cases recently.
From the Hacker's words, it seemed the Hacker was in the same city as Su Yue.
If that was the case, then it would be much easier to solve this matter for the Hacker.
However, in order to resolve this matter more quickly, after Su Yue sent a message to Liang Yuzhu, he also sent a message to Lan Zijun.
Not long after he finished sending the message, Lan Zijun's call came in directly.
Lan Zijun's call came too suddenly, startling Su Yue.
However, although Su Yue felt strange, he still answered Lan Zijun's call.
As soon as the call connected, that clear yet clearly anxious voice came through the receiver.
Lan Zijun asked worriedly: "Su Yue? Did you offend someone somewhere? Do you need my help?"
When he heard that Lan Zijun called him so anxiously because she was worried if he had offended someone somewhere, Su Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He just asked Lan Zijun which internet company had been experiencing significant internal turmoil recently. How could Lan Zijun connect that to the possibility that he might be bullied?
However, seeing Lan Zijun so nervous and anxious because of his matter, Su Yue felt quite pleased. Seeing her worried and wanting to come down to find him, he quickly explained to her.
"No, Lan Ziju, I'm fine. I was just checking for someone else."
The Hacker didn't know if he forgot or didn't have time to say who he was before urgently sending him a message. The message didn't contain much information about him and the person who was deliberately targeting him.
This wasn't a difficult task for Su Yue. He just needed to ask around to find out what was going on with the other party.
However, Su Yue thought that it was likely because the Hacker didn't dare to completely trust him, which was why he deliberately concealed his information.
If 'Yuan' truly valued him, then 'Yuan' would definitely be willing to spend time finding him because he was useful and eventually save him.
