298: Go back and think about whether you have offended anyone.
"You actually dare to come looking for me!" Zhu Zong's opening was an angry curse.
The group of directors behind him exchanged glances, their eyes clearly showing expressions of watching a good show.
Curious and gossipy eyes darted between Su Yue and Zhu Zong's faces, as if wondering what this person had done to make Zhu Zong so angry.
Su Yue didn't rage like Zhu Zong, but because Zhu Zong had repeatedly disturbed his life, his expression wasn't pleasant at this moment either.
He looked at Zhu Zong coldly, threatening, "Zhu Zong, you wouldn't want the son you've raised for over twenty years to end up not even seeing you, would you?"
Zhu Zong's eyes instantly widened, glaring furiously at Su Yue.
He cursed angrily, "You're dreaming! It's not your place to talk here! My son will be fine too!"
Su Yue was utterly contemptuous of Zhu Zong having such naive thoughts. He scoffed lightly, mocking, "You can try."
"If you dare to mess around behind the scenes again, your Zhu family," he sneered, "can see if it can still have a name in the City."
Su Yue's words were extremely arrogant. Zhu Zong initially didn't believe him, but he didn't know why, when he met Su Yue's cold and piercing eyes, his heart instinctively skipped a beat out of fear.
It was as if his subconscious believed everything Su Yue said was true.
This left Zhu Zong deeply shaken. By the time he suppressed the fear in his heart, Su Yue had already turned and left, and it was too late for him to say anything else.
And the directors who followed Zhu Zong also didn't know why a Su Yue suddenly appeared and directly threatened their group.
Because of this, the group was divided into two factions: one that thought Su Yue was talking nonsense and that he couldn't possibly do anything to the Zhu family.
The other faction, like Zhu Zong, was intimidated by Su Yue and was momentarily worried that the other party would target the Zhu family.
The two sides started arguing because of Su Yue's words.
"Zhu Zong, what exactly is going on? Shouldn't you explain it to us?"
"Heh, what's there to explain? Isn't he just a reckless kid talking nonsense? How could such brainless words be taken seriously?"
"I don't think so. This person does seem to have some capability. We shouldn't underestimate the other party."
"I say, Old Huang, are you too timid? You actually believe the wild talk of a mere kid? Tsk, Old Huang, if you're scared, you should quickly dump the stocks you hold."
"Get lost, where am I scared? It's clearly Zhu Zong who got into trouble somewhere, and now he's dragging us into it."
Listening to the undisguised speculation and suspicion from the directors behind him, Zhu Zong's face turned black. He had initially been full of doubt about what Su Yue said, but at this moment, he completely threw that thought to the back of his mind.
He gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at the spot where the person who had long disappeared through the door had stood.
"You were actually scared by a kid who popped up out of nowhere? Heh! I, Zhu Zong, am not that easy to bully!"
Although Zhu Zong said this in front of the directors and repeatedly promised that the Zhu family's stock price would not fall, he still panicked after news broke online the next day that the Zhu family was involved in tax evasion, causing billions in market value to evaporate.
And while he was frantically dealing with the directors' and partners' inquiries, when the person he sent to investigate revealed that the whistleblower was Su Yue, he was so angry he almost vomited blood.
Yesterday, he didn't believe that Su Yue had the ability to take down his Zhu family, so he increased the price to find someone to collect dirt on Su Yue.
Who knew that the one being exposed in the end would be the Zhu family?
Seeing that many partners even took the initiative to terminate their contracts at this time, and no matter how Zhu Zong tried to entice them with benefits, they chose to terminate without hesitation, Zhu Zong then confirmed that someone was targeting him from behind the scenes.
When he put effort into investigating, he really did find something.
Those partners were all helped away by Lan Zijun's people.
After all, the Lan family's finances were much stronger than the Zhu family's at the moment, and now the Zhu family had such explosive news. It was said that people from higher up had even sent people to investigate this matter. At this time, partners naturally wanted to run as fast as possible.
A partner who had cooperated for many years saw how miserable Zhu Zong was and couldn't help but reveal something to him.
"Zhu Zong, you should go back and think about whether you've offended the Lan family recently. People in the circle probably won't dare to cooperate with you anymore."
When Zhu Zong heard this, his eyes instantly widened in shock.
However, no matter how much he pressed for details afterwards, the other party still refused to tell him what exactly was going on.
And Zhu Zong was also greatly shaken by this news and quickly found someone to investigate whether Su Yue and Lan Zijun had any connection.
He didn't know until he investigated, and when he did, he was shocked. He only then learned that at Far View (Yuantu), Lan Zijun and Su Yue actually had rumors of ambiguity, and neither of the parties involved had ever clarified them.
This news scared Zhu Zong quite a bit, and he instantly regretted why he had provoked Su Yue.
However, it was too late for him to regret at this point. No matter how much he contacted Lan Zijun and Su Yue, neither party paid him any attention.
Zhu Zong watched helplessly as his son was sent to Police Station, and before long, he himself was also imprisoned...
Su Yue didn't care about Zhu Zong's final outcome. He knew all too well about the dirty tricks Zhu Zong had secretly pulled on him.
After he personally went to threaten the other party, the other party actually dared to provoke him. Su Yue naturally wouldn't let him off.
After handing over the evidence he had to the Zhu family's rivals, Su Yue didn't bother with it anymore.
Naturally, he didn't know that after Lan Zijun heard that Zhu Zong had found someone to teach him a lesson, she proactively put pressure on the Zhu family.
He only learned about this when he accidentally overheard a wealthy businessman introduced by Lan Zijun talking during a casual chat. It was also at that time that Su Yue learned that Lan Zijun had actually done such a thing for him.
Of course, this was something that happened later.
At this moment, Su Yue didn't pay any attention to Zhu Zong's petty tricks. After he returned home, he realized that he had missed the text message Cheng Fei had sent him.
"I'm fine."
Only three short words, without any preceding or following context, and spoken in a very cold and stiff manner.
However, Su Yue could still tell from the text message the other party sent him that his current state was indeed quite good. At least now he didn't have to worry about whether something had happened to him.
But seeing him say it so lightly, Su Yue couldn't help but lament that Cheng Fei was indeed as careless as ever. Even when his life was about to be threatened, he didn't give a few more instructions at a time like this.
Thinking of the blocked signal in his house, Su Yue was really curious about how he managed to get online to send him the message.
A signal jammer had clearly been installed in that house. He could still send him messages under such circumstances, which indicated that his condition was indeed as he said, nothing serious.

However, this matter really couldn't be delayed any longer. Su Yue was too lazy to play riddles with him and directly asked, "So where are you exactly, specifically?"
The message Su Yue sent sank into the ocean once again. He waited for a long time but didn't get a reply from the other party.
Seeing that the other party hadn't replied, Su Yue knew that he probably couldn't reply at this time, so he didn't send any more messages to urge him. Instead, he called Liang Yuzhu.
Liang Yuzhu answered the phone quickly. She asked, "Su Yue, is there something you need from me?"
Su Yue asked, "Liang Yuzhu, did you find any useful information today? I also have a new clue here."
As soon as Liang Yuzhu heard that it was about the case, she instantly put away the smile she subconsciously showed towards Su Yue and nodded solemnly.
"The technical department has verified the video and roughly restored the photos of the two people involved. I'll send them to you later. However, I still need some time for their chat content and the code."
Su Yue said, praising, "You've all worked hard, thank you."
Because this matter also involved the efforts of other colleagues, Liang Yuzhu didn't take all the credit and nodded in response.
She continued, "Although it will take some time to fully restore the code, I already have some information. This code is actually related to the banking System."
"If it's really as we suspect, if this code's source code is deleted in time, it will save our country from countless financial losses."
When Su Yue heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
He didn't expect this code to be related to such important matters.
His face instantly turned serious, and he said to Liang Yuzhu, "Liang Yuzhu, tell them to stop the investigation related to the code immediately. I'm afraid the content might be leaked."
Liang Yuzhu had also thought deeply about this issue. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I've already deleted the core code. It shouldn't be that easy for them to restore it."
Su Yue was very serious about this issue and didn't allow for any accidents.
"Liang Yuzhu, it's just difficult to restore, it doesn't mean there's no hope of restoring it."
"Anyway, we already roughly know what this code is related to. There's no need to go deeper into it from here on."
Liang Yuzhu, who had been confident that the code wouldn't be cracked, also began to think deeply after hearing Su Yue say this.
Finally, she also nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell them to stop researching the code."
She paused and then asked, "Didn't you say you also had new progress, Su Yue? What is it?"
Su Yue didn't hide it, "That Hacker's name is Cheng Fei. He's probably being held captive right now. But there's no immediate danger to his life."
Liang Yuzhu was greatly shocked by Su Yue's calm statement. After listening, she even had a feeling of being in a trance.
She said in disbelief, "Captive? What exactly is going on?"
However, before Su Yue could explain to her, she figured out what was going on herself, and her tone became much more serious.
"As expected, this person was working on code related to illegal content, right? That's why the other party got angry and captured him after not receiving the goods? Will he be retaliated against by the other party afterwards?"
Su Yue was silent for a moment and said, not very confidently, "Your guess should be correct. Currently, the other party doesn't have the intention to harm Cheng Fei, but I can't be sure that he definitely won't."
"If he makes a move, it should be within the next few days. However, I've sent people to keep an eye on him. If the other party makes a move, I'll rush over immediately."
Liang Yuzhu was a bit worried about this. She asked, "Do you need my help? I can send my subordinates to help guard."
Su Yue shook his head, "The people there are very vigilant. If a stranger appears, they will take Cheng Fei away immediately. If you send people to guard, you'll alert the enemy."
Hearing this, Liang Yuzhu didn't dare to say anything else and could only nod, "If you need my help with anything, you must tell me."
Su Yue smiled, "Liang Yuzhu, don't worry. When have I not bothered you? And didn't I call you immediately? Don't worry, I've cooperated with you so many times, and I've never tried to be a hero."
Although she knew that Su Yue wouldn't make things difficult for her people, Liang Yuzhu asked this because she was worried that Su Yue would act recklessly.
Now that she heard his affirmative answer, Liang Yuzhu also felt relieved. She nodded confidently.
"I understand. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "Can you find information about Cheng Fei? Preferably related to his biological parents. I heard from his neighbor that he lived with his grandmother since he was a child, and I want to see what his parents' situation is now."
Liang Yuzhu nodded affirmatively, "Okay, Su Yue, don't worry, I will send you the investigation results as soon as possible."
Having explained everything clearly, Su Yue hung up the phone.
Soon, Liang Yuzhu also sent Su Yue the photos of the two people that the technical department had restored.
Looking at the two people in the photos, Su Yue silently memorized their faces.
Police are capable. The restored photo is indeed similar to the little boy in the group photo in Cheng Fei's house. Presumably, Cheng Fei also looks similar to the person in the photo.
He had no impression of the other photo, but his build felt very familiar to Su Yue.
This person seemed to have a similar build to... the 'Brother Fang' he fought with back then.
If it really was the other party, Su Yue would understand why the other party suddenly had such deep hatred for him and even wanted his life.
But looking at the situation, perhaps Cheng Fei had already wanted to contact him and join him for a long time?
Otherwise, before the matter was exposed, how could this 'Brother Fang' have known him and even wanted his life?
Thinking that this matter was likely related to the fire that happened in Tian Yuwei's apartment before, Su Yue's expression became a bit serious.
If this person was indeed that 'Brother Fang', then he would have to be fully prepared.
This time, he would make the other party the one to flee in a sorry state.
However, if Cheng Fei had indeed wanted to join him for a long time, perhaps the events that happened today were planned by Cheng Fei himself.
Thinking that he might have been tricked by the other party, Su Yue was directly amused by the other party and also ground his teeth in anger.
He didn't expect the seemingly simple and harmless Cheng Fei to actually dare to scheme against him. It seemed this Cheng Fei was not easy to deal with!
However, because he did have some capability, Su Yue easily forgave him.
After all, even if he hadn't schemed against him, he would definitely have come to save him.
