43: Lin Jia is being followed?

Everyone has to talk to Lan Zijun face-to-face?

On the way home, Su Yue, riding a shared bicycle, pondered the meaning of Lan Zijun's action.

It seems she's already suspicious of someone within the company. And yes, my previous actions definitely looked like they were done by an insider.

"No wonder the system gave that kind of suggestion."

"Sigh, how troublesome. Thinking about it carefully, my actions back then truly weren't meticulous enough."

Su Yue stared at the pedals, beginning to consider how he should deal with Lan Zijun tomorrow without revealing his identity.

He judged that the other party was, after all, a female CEO and a second-generation rich person who graduated from a prestigious school. Such a person's thoughts should be quite complex.

Su Yue didn't believe that the so-called face-to-face meeting would just be a simple chat.

There must be some special arrangement!

Because of this, Su Yue felt a bit troubled by tomorrow's meeting.

"When handling intelligence in the future, I should be more careful..."

Thinking about how to respond the whole way, Su Yue returned to the City Village and parked the shared bicycle at the designated spot.

He walked towards his home with his head down, not noticing a man ahead who was also walking with his head down.

Bang!

Su Yue, deep in thought, bumped head-on into the other person.

"Sorry..."

Su Yue, who was knocked back a step, raised his head to apologize to the other person. However, he only saw a fleeting black figure.

"Hmm?"

Turning his head to look at the hooded stranger who had run off, Su Yue felt strange but didn't take it to heart.

Right now, his mind was entirely focused on how to deal with tomorrow's meeting.

"What if, during my conversation with Lan Zijun tomorrow, Yuan's call comes through to Lan Zijun..."

Su Yue mumbled in a voice only he could hear.

"No, that won't work. While it would successfully create an alibi for me, if Lan Zijun were to trace it back, my suspicion would actually increase significantly."

The method he had just come up with was directly rejected by Su Yue before it had even existed for long.

"Or should I try to prevent the meeting from happening tomorrow? But wouldn't that just further confirm that 'Yuan' is an internal company member?"

"Tsk, that won't really work either..."

Standing at his doorstep, Su Yue scratched his head, a bit frustrated.

"For a corporate slave like me, it seems a bit troublesome. I don't have much confidence in my acting skills..."

However, even though he was complaining, Su Yue had no intention of giving up in his heart.

After all, not every corporate slave oppressed by life could experience the thrilling life he was living now.

He pulled out his key, unlocked the door, and pushed it open.

"You're back."

Lin Jia, wearing a nightgown and holding a watering can, stood in the yard and greeted Su Yue as he walked in.

"Yeah, are you watering at night?"

Su Yue closed the door, staring at Lin Jia with a strange expression.

He thought, shouldn't watering be done during the day? Watering at night... the textbooks didn't say it was forbidden, but it just felt odd.

Lin Jia noticed the expression on Su Yue's face, put down the watering can, and crossed her arms over her chest, further accentuating her already ample assets.

Upon seeing this, Su Yue instinctively turned his head away, not looking at Lin Jia's figure that was almost spilling out of her nightgown.

See no evil; this was the most crucial point of co-ed living.

"Don't misunderstand, I was just a bit bored waiting for you to come back, so I watered a bit. I usually water before work."

Lin Jia's words made Su Yue, who had been looking away, frown slightly.

"Waiting for me to come back? Did something happen?"

"It's just..."

Lin Jia looked at the door behind Su Yue with a hint of fear in her eyes, as if something was staring at her from there.

"It's like this, actually, I've vaguely had this feeling for about half a month now..."

...

"You feel like someone is following you?"

In the living room, Su Yue, sitting on the sofa, asked after hearing Lin Jia's words.

"Could you be mistaken, mistaking the gazes of passersby for a stalker's gaze?"

While speaking, Su Yue glanced at Lin Jia, who was sitting beside him, hugging a pillow.

The latter was currently hugging a pillow, with half of her face buried in it.

Putting everything else aside, in terms of looks and figure alone, Lin Jia was indeed a rare beauty.

To be precise, many female internet celebrities only achieve Lin Jia's real-life looks and figure with beauty filters.

It was quite normal for such a beautiful woman to walk down the street and receive lecherous glances from passersby.

That's why Su Yue guessed that Lin Jia had mistaken these lewd gazes for those of a stalker.

"No, that gaze is different."

Lin Jia recalled the hot and lewd gaze that had constantly stared at her back, and she rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.

"..."

Looking at Lin Jia's reaction, Su Yue blinked.

"In that case, why don't you choose to install some cameras at home? Ones specifically to monitor the situation outside the door."

When he saw Lin Jia turn her head, with an expression of "Oh, it can be done that way?"

Su Yue really wanted to retort, 'Sister, if you don't use your brain, you can just throw it away.'

"Are you secretly laughing at me?"

Lin Jia frowned, sensing that Su Yue's expression seemed a bit off.

"You're overthinking it, I'm not laughing."

Su Yue patted his knee and stood up.

"Alright, let's settle this matter for now. If we really catch evidence, we can call the police. Maybe Uncle Police will even give us a bonus."

"Now, let's both go back to our respective doghouses and sleep."

After speaking, Su Yue, ignoring Lin Jia's reaction, walked directly towards his room.

Lin Jia stared at Su Yue's broad back for a while before saying, somewhat discontentedly.

"Yours is the doghouse!"

...

That night, 1 AM.

Beep, beep!

The phone screen by his pillow lit up, and the sound and vibration of the pre-set alarm clock woke Su Yue, who was sleeping.

"Ugh, is it time?"

Su Yue endured his sleepiness and the anger of being woken up, reaching out to grab the still buzzing phone.

"Hoo..."

After turning off the alarm, Su Yue placed the arm holding his phone over his eyes, and after taking a few deep breaths.

"Get up, let's go."

He carefully put on his slippers without making a sound, opened his door, and after confirming that Lin Jia on the second floor hadn't woken up.

Su Yue, after a week, came to his base in the basement.

Standing in this high-tech-style base that only appeared in movies, Su Yue walked yawningly to the corner.

"I remember seeing that thing I wanted here last time..."

Pulling open drawer after drawer, Su Yue rummaged through them, picking up and putting down specialized items that only secret agents would use.

"This isn't it, not this one, this isn't it either... Ah, it's this!"

Su Yue pinched an item that looked like a black button.

"This is it, a miniature listening device."
