318: What's their relationship?

This was very interesting; a shop that hadn't registered with the mall ended up becoming the most popular attraction in the entire mall.

Although it wasn't hard to see that the Wishing Tree shop was indeed a bit unusual, the fact that the other party was so bold still surprised Su Yue.

Wasn't this shop afraid of being reported?

Su Yue thought about it but didn't take any action regarding this shop.

He decided to wait and see what else would happen in this mall.

After getting a rough understanding of the relationship between the mall and General Manager Zhang, Su Yue directly sent all the information he had discovered overnight to Liang Yuzhu.

Not only did Liang Yuzhu trust Su Yue, but Su Yue now also completely trusted Liang Yuzhu.

Now, whenever he had new intelligence about the case, he would send it to Liang Yuzhu immediately.

Doing this also prevented Liang Yuzhu from being completely ignorant of the case details, and it allowed Liang Yuzhu to provide him with a lot of help.

This time, when Liang Yuzhu received Su Yue's message, she didn't just reply with a simple 'Okay, I got it'. For the first time, after Su Yue shared the intelligence, she proactively started chatting with him.

"Su Yue, it's already very late. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Su Yue was a little surprised by Liang Yuzhu's change, but he replied truthfully, "I'll take a shower in a bit and then go to sleep."

Because Su Yue had just been waiting for Cheng Fei's intelligence, it was already midnight.

Tomorrow was a workday, so Su Yue really should be sleeping now.

However, Liang Yuzhu seemed genuinely interested in chatting with Su Yue. After receiving his reply, she even proactively looked for topics.

"It's already very late, Su Yue. You should go to bed early. I also found a clue. Although it's not as significant as yours, it should still provide you with a lead. But it's too late now, I'll tell you tomorrow."

Since Liang Yuzhu had already said so much, how could Su Yue possibly let her stop halfway?

He replied somewhat helplessly, "Liang Yuzhu, stop teasing me. You've already said half of it, just tell me the rest."

"If you don't finish telling me the rest, aren't you deliberately keeping me from sleeping?"

Liang Yuzhu sent an [innocent.jpg] emoji, and Su Yue replied with a [about to cry.jpg] emoji pack.

Liang Yuzhu didn't deliberately keep Su Yue hanging; she quickly replied to him.

"Didn't I question the assistant a few times at the hospital today? I found that this assistant seems to have a lot of opinions about General Manager Zhang."

As Liang Yuzhu expected, Su Yue was interested in this news.

He quickly pressed, "What do you mean by that? How did you discover this?"

Su Yue had also chatted with the assistant along with Lan Zijun yesterday. At the time, his mind was focused on General Manager Zhang's illness, and he hadn't paid too much attention to the assistant's reaction, so he really hadn't noticed this.

Liang Yuzhu said, "I found that on the surface, he is very respectful towards General Manager Zhang. However, a person's subtle actions can't be hidden. There were a few times when I noticed his expression was clearly impatient when mentioning General Manager Zhang in front of the caregiver."

"The caregiver and General Manager Zhang have an employer-employee relationship. Even if the caregiver noticed the assistant had opinions about General Manager Zhang, she wouldn't dare to say it directly to General Manager Zhang's face."

"And when I asked the assistant about General Manager Zhang, he was full of eagerness. If I hadn't secretly observed him in private, I wouldn't have discovered this about him."

Seeing Liang Yuzhu's message, Su Yue also fell into deep thought.

Su Yue highly recognized Liang Yuzhu's observational skills. Since she dared to tell him, it meant she had indeed found something unusual about the assistant.

However, it was precisely this point that made Su Yue feel puzzled.

He really didn't understand why the assistant would have feelings of resentment towards General Manager Zhang. Logically speaking, the salary General Manager Zhang provided should be decent.

Moreover, according to what Lan Zijun told him, this assistant had been by General Manager Zhang's side since graduating from university, and it had already been over twenty years. This assistant was completely promoted by General Manager Zhang himself.

As a result, such a close subordinate now had opinions about the person who had personally promoted him?

Although Su Yue didn't know the exact reason why the assistant was dissatisfied with General Manager Zhang, he felt it was likely due to human greed; he was probably unhappy with just receiving a basic salary.

Although Su Yue had already roughly guessed why the assistant was dissatisfied with General Manager Zhang, he didn't show it when replying to Liang Yuzhu.

"Liang Yuzhu, your news has indeed provided me with a new lead. I will pay more attention to this assistant."

Liang Yuzhu said, "You don't need to trouble yourself so much. I'll have someone keep an eye on him on my end. I believe there will be news soon."

Su Yue hadn't told Liang Yuzhu that he had recruited Cheng Fei as his subordinate, and he didn't plan to tell Liang Yuzhu about it for the time being.

Therefore, when Liang Yuzhu said he didn't need to trouble himself, he also cooperatively replied with an 'Okay'.

However, although he said he wouldn't bother with it on the surface, he still opened Cheng Fei's chat window and assigned him a new task.

"Cheng Fei, investigate the assistant of General Manager Zhang, the director of Weiluan Group, again. Find out if the assistant has any grudges with General Manager Zhang."

Cheng Fei replied, "Okay, Director."

Su Yue said, "You're working hard."

Cheng Fei replied, "Not hard work, just a hard life."

Su Yue was instantly amused by Cheng Fei. He couldn't imagine that the usually dull Cheng Fei in real life would be so lively online.

However, Su Yue was quite generous to his subordinates: "Don't worry, I'll give you a bonus when this case is over."

Cheng Fei replied, "I love work!"

Su Yue exited the chat window with Cheng Fei. At this point, Liang Yuzhu urged Su Yue to go to sleep quickly once again.

Su Yue had thrown all the problems to Cheng Fei to investigate, and now he felt completely relaxed. Seeing Liang Yuzhu urging him to wash up and sleep, he also cooperated and replied.

"Okay, Liang Yuzhu, goodnight."

Uncharacteristically, Liang Yuzhu sent Su Yue a soft and cute sleeping emoji pack.

Just now, when discussing intelligence, Su Yue hadn't paid too much attention. Now that things were mostly communicated, Su Yue also noticed Liang Yuzhu's change.

He was instantly energized by her again.

He asked somewhat strangely, "Liang Yuzhu, aren't you busy right now? Why do you seem to have so much free time today? And what's with all these cute emoji packs?"

Liang Yuzhu, who had been replying instantly just now, paused for more than two minutes before replying this time.

"I'm really not very busy today, so I have a bit more personal time... Are these emoji packs not nice?"

Su Yue kept watching the 'The other party is typing...' appearing and disappearing at the top of the chat window. He waited for a long time but only received such a plain sentence, which made him confused.

So, what exactly was Liang Yuzhu struggling with just now?

Su Yue pressed further, "Liang Yuzhu, why are you suddenly sending so many emoji packs? I remember you didn't like using emojis before, you just talked."

Liang Yuzhu probably figured something out. This time, she didn't hesitate for long and replied quickly.

"I think these emoji packs are quite cute, so I thought I'd send some. Since you don't like them, I won't send them anymore."

Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then was directly amused by Liang Yuzhu.

"No, Liang Yuzhu, you misunderstood me. I don't think these emoji packs are not cute. I was just curious why you suddenly like sending emoji packs. I feel like your persona is about to collapse, and I'm a bit surprised."

"..."

"Then I won't send them anymore! I'm sorry!"

Su Yue intuitively felt that Liang Yuzhu was angry, and as for the reason, it made him feel even more like laughing and crying.

However, it was rare for Liang Yuzhu to have such a girlish heart, so Su Yue naturally wouldn't dampen her enthusiasm. He quickly replied.

"No, the emoji packs you sent are all very cute, and I like them very much."

"I just thought you might have been stimulated by something to suddenly send so many cute emoji packs, and I wondered if I could offer you some help."

"Liang Yuzhu, if you have something on your mind, you must tell me directly. Don't hide it by yourself."

Liang Yuzhu, who was originally so embarrassed by making a fool of herself in front of Su Yue that she almost turned off her phone to avoid seeing it, unexpectedly received Su Yue's comforting words, and that bit of embarrassment instantly vanished.

Her initial embarrassment also turned into shyness, and her face flushed red.

However, Liang Yuzhu was currently alone at her home, and her habitually aloof image wasn't seen by others. In the eyes of outsiders, she was still the distant goddess.

Su Yue's comfort was indeed effective, and Liang Yuzhu was truly comforted by him.

"I'm fine. I just thought you liked these cute emoji packs, so I thought I'd send some. Since you don't like them, I won't send them anymore."

Su Yue was a bit strange: "Liang Yuzhu, why did you suddenly think of sending me these emoji packs?"

This time, Liang Yuzhu fell silent again. Su Yue saw that "The other party is typing..." no longer appeared at the top of the screen and thought Liang Yuzhu was busy and couldn't reply immediately. He waited and waited, but still didn't receive a reply.

Seeing that Liang Yuzhu was indeed busy with something, he sent her a goodnight message.

"Although I don't know what's going on with you, Liang Yuzhu, it's already very late. Finish up soon and go to bed early. Goodnight."

After saying that, Su Yue packed his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Speaking of the bathroom, Su Yue had to praise this basement.

At that time, he was still hesitant about whether to put a bathroom in the basement so he could wash up separately from Lin Jia and Tian Yuwei upstairs.

Before he had even decided, the basement had already sensed his thoughts and directly added a bathroom.

Witnessing the 'great bathroom flash' firsthand, Su Yue naturally wouldn't dwell on the issue anymore and calmly enjoyed having a bathroom all to himself.

He was immensely grateful to this intelligence system, which made his life better and better. Now, he lacked nothing; he could have whatever he wanted.

And all of this was thanks to this intelligence system.

Su Yue thought that since the intelligence system brought him so many benefits, he must also work hard to actively solve cases based on the intelligence provided by the intelligence system.

This way, the power of this intelligence system would become stronger and stronger, and his future days would also become happier and happier.

After slowly finishing his shower, Su Yue lay back down on his big bed and casually picked up the phone he had placed beside him.

It turned out that while he was showering, Liang Yuzhu had already replied to him.

"Before, when I saw you chatting with Tian Yuwei, you really liked the cute emoji packs she sent. I thought you just liked those, so I thought I'd send you a few too."

"I didn't expect I couldn't make you happy; instead, I made you suspect something was wrong with me... Sorry, I also think I'm really not suited for these cute things. I won't send them anymore."

Su Yue hadn't expected it was because of this reason. Looking at Liang Yuzhu's message, he felt both surprised and helpless.

He quickly explained, "No, I wasn't saying you're not suited. I just wasn't used to this side of you for a moment. I actually really like the emoji packs you sent, and I think they're very cute."

"Whether or not you send emoji packs is really up to you. You don't need to accommodate me."

Liang Yuzhu had probably been holding her phone because this time, she replied instantly again.

"I just wanted to please you."

Su Yue hadn't expected Liang Yuzhu to suddenly say something like that, and his eyes widened in surprise.

He subconsciously blinked his eyes, repeatedly confirming if he had accidentally misread it. Otherwise, how could he see Liang Yuzhu saying such a bold thing?

After confirming that Liang Yuzhu hadn't misspoken, Su Yue hesitated for a moment, then suddenly understood the reason why she did this.

However, Su Yue was still a bit hesitant to confirm Liang Yuzhu's thoughts, and thus he tentatively said, "Liang Yuzhu, why are you suddenly talking about pleasing or not pleasing? Aren't we good friends? Just say whatever you want to say."

Su Yue was actually also very excited. After all, although he did have feelings for Liang Yuzhu, because of her position, Su Yue didn't dare to have too bold thoughts about her, fearing that his thoughts would profane her sacredness.

But now that Liang Yuzhu had spoken so clearly, Su Yue naturally wouldn't back down like this.

When Liang Yuzhu saw Su Yue's words, her initial excited emotions also cooled down quite a bit.

What Su Yue asked was actually very obvious; he was asking about the relationship between them.

Liang Yuzhu, who had strong observational skills, was very sure that as long as she stated a relationship other than friendship, Su Yue would definitely not reject her.

Realizing this, Liang Yuzhu's originally restless heart also calmed down quite a bit, although her breathing was still a little hurried.

She was also thinking about what other relationship they could have.

In fact, the reason Liang Yuzhu became so eager today was also because she saw that the relationship between Su Yue and Tian Yuwei was quite unusual in the evening, and she felt a bit anxious.

And because of this, Liang Yuzhu proactively chatted with a man for the first time and even sent him cute emoji packs that she had never sent before.

At that time, her only thought was that she absolutely couldn't fall too far behind Tian Yuwei's pace; she also wanted to have a closer relationship with Su Yue.

And so, in a moment of impulse, she directly said those thoughtless words to Su Yue.

Now, being questioned by Su Yue like this, her excited self calmed down quite a bit, and she was also thinking about how things should develop next.

In Su Yue's heart, she had always been like a strong woman. Would acting like chasing directly after him today make him uncomfortable?

Would he find her like this ridiculous?

Liang Yuzhu became conflicted again. This time, she really didn't dare to reply to Su Yue.

Su Yue hadn't received a reply from Liang Yuzhu for a long time. After thinking for a moment, he directly called Liang Yuzhu.
