399: Joint suppression

In just half an hour, Su Yue had signed a fixed contract with them, giving them the funds to develop.

Afterwards, Su Yue found Lan Zijun privately and told her about his investment in the security company.

Lan Zijun had no favorable opinion of the security company at all, but since Su Yue thought it was useful, she agreed.

In just a few minutes, Lan Zijun placed the declared project documents into Su Yue's hand.

To ensure that security company could develop steadily, Su Yue posted an announcement on the official website of Yuantu Investment.

As expected, as soon as their announcement was posted online, many capable security personnel individually sought out those people.

It didn't take long for that security company to get a significant number of personnel reinforcements.

Originally, Su Yue thought it wouldn't be long before they could arrange their own security personnel to go to various hotels, but something happened.

After just a few days, the security company specifically arranged for people to come to Su Yue's office.

Since they were all people who didn't speak much, they stood in front of Su Yue without saying a word for a long time.

Su Yue could already tell they had something to discuss with him, and his face was stern: "What is it you need me for? Just say it directly."

When they heard Su Yue say this, they hesitantly spoke up: "We seem to be suppressed."

From Su Yue's perspective, he felt that the suppression by those people had no effect at all.

Anyway, their business was provided internally by Yuantu Investment, so they hardly needed external people to give them orders.

As they watched Su Yue say this, their faces were filled with helplessness: "General Manager Su, we can't develop at all, do you have time?"

Although none of them explicitly stated what they needed him for, Su Yue knew they definitely wanted him to go there.

Su Yue glanced at the schedule on the computer and nodded slightly: "Take me to your security company to have a look."

Saying this, he casually put on the jacket from the chair and followed behind these people.

It didn't take long for the several people to lead Su Yue to the entrance of the security company.

Suddenly, as if Su Yue had thought of something, he glanced at the few of them: "Oh, by the way, what is your Boss's name?"

Although he had signed the contract last time, he hadn't looked at that person's name from start to finish.

The few people exchanged glances and quickly said: "Our Boss's name is Liu Ran, and he is waiting for you in the office."

Because the few of them were honest people, Su Yue didn't bother with those unnecessary formalities and went into the office.

When Liu Ran saw that Su Yue had been invited over, he quickly came up to Su Yue: "General Manager Su, we're in trouble."

He turned the computer around and deliberately placed it in front of Su Yue: "Please take a look, this is our list."

As a security company, it was quite ridiculous that their security personnel were actually being threatened by outsiders.

When Su Yue learned that their people were actually being threatened, his face was full of surprise: "Threatened? Aren't you in the security business?"

If they couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could he possibly arrange these people in the hotels?

When Liu Ran saw that Su Yue was doubting his work attitude, he quickly explained: "They actually know the information."

No matter what business the security company had recently taken on, someone must have secretly found that client.

The client was certainly worried about their safety and immediately abandoned their cooperation with them.

With no business in hand for a long time, the company definitely couldn't afford to keep so many people.

Su Yue looked at Liu Ran, who was looking at him, and said sternly: "Your business is covered by us, don't look for others."

However, the fact that he had just heard that Liu Ran's business could be leaked did catch his attention.

In Su Yue's eyes, leaks were the biggest problem.

He pointed at the list on the computer: "Let me see the list of people you've recently recruited, can you trust them?"

Since Liu Ran was brought in by him, Su Yue naturally believed that Liu Ran's character was not a problem.

That batch of people they had were all safe; only the people who came later had issues.

When Liu Ran heard Su Yue asking about the employees, he took a deep breath: "I selected them through strict screening."

Speaking of this, he specifically highlighted the names on the list in red so that Su Yue could see them more clearly.

Just at this moment, the phone on his desk rang.

Liu Ran subconsciously glanced in Su Yue's direction and picked up the phone.

The call was from a client; they had been threatened by other security companies and chose to withdraw their order.

When Liu Ran learned that the client was threatened again, he looked at Su Yue with a face full of helplessness: "See, someone else has withdrawn their order."

If only one or two clients chose to withdraw their orders, Su Yue might suspect that those people were just guessing.

Now, with a large number of clients withdrawing orders, Su Yue could not attribute this matter to coincidence.

After about a few minutes, Su Yue came over to the phone: "Have you always contacted clients through this?"

Liu Ran nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we have always used this to contact external clients, and we guarantee privacy."

A phone call might be recorded, but a landline doesn't have that concern.

Su Yue saw that Liu Ran always used the landline and subconsciously scanned the room, finding that there was no one inside.

This means that only Liu Ran knew about the business, and there was no second person who could leak it.

Instantly, he focused his main attention on the phone's receiver: "The problem should be with this."

Thinking of this, he took apart the receiver and took out a listening device from inside, placing it on the desk.

As a security company, it was truly embarrassing that such a thing appeared in their internal office.

When Liu Ran saw the listening device inside the phone, his eyes suddenly widened: "There's actually something like this?"

Su Yue shrugged helplessly: "I really don't know how you usually do things, you didn't even discover this."

Those people could deduce the other party's identity from Liu Ran's few words and could threaten them by directly finding that person.

In just a few minutes, Liu Ran glanced at Su Yue, his face full of helplessness: "General Manager Su, I can only ask for your help."

They only had security capabilities but had no way to investigate the source of the surveillance and listening device.

Su Yue originally didn't want to meddle in their internal affairs, but since they were his people, he could only lend them a hand.

Su Yue examined the listening device in front of him and pondered: "Who usually has access to your place?"

Only trusted people could possibly come into the office, and the problem was among those people.

When Liu Ran heard Su Yue ask such a question, he frowned and began to recall.

After about a few minutes, Liu Ran suddenly opened his eyes wide: "I thought of it, my deputy can come in."

Speaking of this, he said with some uncertainty: "I don't think it should be him."

The person could become the deputy, so it's believed that his relationship with Liu Ran was extraordinary.

No one wants to be a negative figure, let alone someone who betrayed his own brother.

Su Yue watched Liu Ran look at him, his face indifferent: "In the face of money, any brotherhood is nonsense."

He had never taken brotherhood to heart, after all, some people were willing to submit to money.

Liu Ran listened as Su Yue was unwilling to trust his deputy, and his brow furrowed slightly: "It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

In his eyes, his brothers had all walked back from the brink of death and shouldn't cause trouble.

Su Yue didn't listen to his talk about brotherhood, looked at the time on his watch, and said: "Please trouble yourself to find him and bring him here."

Liu Ran nodded slightly and dialed his friend's number.

Originally, he thought his deputy should be outside, but no one expected the deputy was not in the company.

He glanced at Su Yue with a face full of surprise and couldn't help but say to Su Yue: "General Manager Su, he doesn't seem to be here."

Now, the security company didn't even have business, but the deputy was not in the company.

Instantly, Su Yue concluded that the deputy had intricate connections.

Having no other way, Su Yue could only walk up to Liu Ran, pat his shoulder, and say: "Tell him to come back, no conditions."

If Liu Ran continued to not listen to him, Su Yue would have to use his own methods to make him recognize reality.

In just half an hour, Liu Ran brought his deputy back and pointed in Su Yue's direction: "General Manager Su is looking for you."

For them, Su Yue was simply their benefactor; how could they possibly treat Su Yue poorly?

The deputy came up to Su Yue, his face smiling: "General Manager Su, may I ask what you need me for?"

Su Yue watched the deputy look at him and took a deep breath: "Where did you go? Specific location?"

Originally, he thought Su Yue came here just to introduce business, but no one expected him to ask such a question.

Instantly, the deputy was speechless, unsure of what he should say.

It was precisely because of his poor performance that Su Yue then continued: "My people have already seen you, just confess."

Liu Ran learned that Su Yue had arranged for someone to follow his deputy and looked at his deputy with deep meaning.

The deputy immediately knelt on the ground, his face showing a bitter smile: "I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me."

Su Yue originally thought the deputy should have some backbone, but no one expected him to just confess directly.

When Liu Ran saw the deputy's actions, he was also startled and didn't react for a long time.

He walked up to the deputy: "What exactly did you do? Was our business really compromised by you?"

The deputy was worried that Su Yue would cause trouble and quickly admitted: "They gave me a lot of money, I... I just happened to be short on money."

Liu Ran had just been speaking up for his deputy, but no one expected him to confess directly.

Now that the truth was out, whether or not to continue employing the deputy was up to Liu Ran.

Liu Ran came up to Su Yue, his face full of guilt: "I didn't expect it, my brother actually did something foolish."

Perhaps the issue with the deputy made him hesitant, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Su Yue understood what Liu Ran was thinking and chuckled lightly: "Whether or not to employ him is up to you, I won't interfere."

Regardless, Yuantu Investment was just an investment company and had no reason to get involved with them.

When Liu Ran heard Su Yue letting him decide, he walked up to the deputy: "Next time you'd better not do this, otherwise..."

The deputy originally thought he definitely wouldn't be kept, but no one expected Liu Ran to choose to keep him.

Instantly, the deputy nodded repeatedly: "I promise I won't do anything anymore, I'll only listen to you."

To make them believe him, he took out a card from his clothes and placed it in front of Su Yue.

Su Yue squinted at the card in his hand, how could he not know that it contained the money that person used to bribe him?

Now, the money had already landed in his pocket, and it was unlikely he would return it.

Su Yue shrugged indifferently: "Since Wang Pai gave you the money, then take it, don't refuse something for free."

When the deputy saw Su Yue say that person's name, his face was full of shock: "How do you know that person's name?"

Originally, he had always thought that what he did was foolproof and that no one could discover it.

No one expected that Su Yue had seen through all these matters.

Suddenly, as if the deputy had thought of something, he looked at Su Yue: "I have something to tell you, Jianan Company is about to make a move."

Su Yue and Liu Ran exchanged glances, indicating that they had never heard of this company's name at all.

The deputy looked at the two people's confused faces, as if he understood something, and patted his head: "I'll give you a location."

According to what he said, all the business they had lost was taken by Jianan Company.

In other words, Wang Pai was looking to cooperate with Jianan Company, with the goal of causing trouble for Yuantu Investment.

If it hadn't been for Wang Pai's interference, Su Yue wouldn't have been willing to bother with Jianan Company at all.

Anyway, the hotels under Yuantu Investment were already enough to accommodate these people, so there was no need for interference from others.

In just a few minutes, the deputy put all the information about Jianan Company on the computer: "Take a look."

Before Su Yue even got to the computer, the phone in the deputy's pocket rang.

When he saw the number on the phone, he subconsciously glanced in Su Yue's direction and silently lowered his head.

Judging by his appearance, it was very likely that this call was from Jianan Company.

To prove that he had turned over a new leaf, he could only place his phone on the desk: "General Manager Su, you all listen."

Saying this, he picked up the phone.

In just one second, a voice came from the other side: "It's said that Su Yue went to your company, you'd better be careful."

Afterwards, that person constantly warned the deputy, the purpose being to prevent him from turning against them.

The deputy, on the other hand, responded repeatedly, afraid that the person on the other side would notice something was wrong with him.

Soon, the call ended, and the deputy looked at Su Yue with a bitter expression: "General Manager Su, look... they threatened me."
