5: What hatred, what resentment? !
Returning to sit on the chair, Su Yue's anxiety had largely dissipated.
He leaned back, clasped his hands behind his head, and looked up at the newly decorated ceiling.
No reason, absolutely no reason.
Su Yue shook his head slightly.
Daily life is monotonous and boring, with basically the same content.
Although I, Su Yue, have little interest in life, I have never neglected to observe it.
In recent years, I haven't had any major conflicts with anyone, nor have I done evil deeds or actively bullied others.
So it absolutely cannot be revenge from an enemy!
Since it's not karma I've actively incurred, then it might be someone else taking the initiative.
First of all, this piece of Intelligence might be talking about random killings.
There have been many cases of retaliatory, random killings both domestically and internationally.
So...
Su Yue refocused his gaze on the last sentence on the Intelligence paper.
Is the Intelligence warning me that I might encounter random killings?
If that's the case, it's truly impossible to guard against.
The people seen on the road every day are diverse, in the thousands and thousands.
No one is a mind reader who can know the true thoughts in others' hearts; among them, there might be psychopaths planning random attacks.
Unless I stay at home every day, go nowhere, and just guard myself.
But this is clearly impossible; can I really not leave the house for a lifetime?
After a few moments of thought, the possibility that the Intelligence was about random killings was denied by Su Yue.
Random killing, upon closer examination, is a subjective plan or intention, too random, and changes according to various variables; it cannot be considered Intelligence at all.
Because what is refreshed in the drawer is Intelligence, not something like precognition.
Since that's the case...
Shaking his head slightly, Su Yue had a sudden flash of insight, shifting his thoughts to analyze another possibility:
Is it possible that the Intelligence given is false?
Just now, Su Yue opened the template interface and carefully studied the explanation regarding the Intelligence content.
The explanation did not explicitly state: Intelligence is 100% guaranteed to be true.
Su Yue's understanding is:
The Intelligence given by the drawer certainly wouldn't be subjectively faked to deliberately mislead Su Yue.
Instead, the Intelligence itself became false due to being outdated or the implementer's plan changing, causing a deviation.
For example:
A restaurant Boss received a call from a regular customer saying he would bring a few friends over for a big meal at noon, and the restaurant Boss immediately started preparing upon knowing this.
But at noon, that regular customer and his friends were suddenly trapped and waiting for rescue due to an elevator malfunction, unable to make calls or go to the restaurant.
However, the restaurant Boss waited anxiously for the regular customer all noon, and the food prepared in advance was all wasted.
Thus, the Intelligence that the regular customer said he would come for a meal, for the restaurant Boss, would be considered false Intelligence!
But for the regular customer, he didn't do it intentionally.
Similarly...
Su Yue furrowed his brows, thinking:
Is it possible that the Intelligence just given by the drawer, that I am to be killed, is also this kind of situation?
False!
...
I, Su Yue, am to be killed by someone.
Is this Intelligence true or false?
Based on the limited information available, it's impossible to judge.
If I were to start investigating, I wouldn't know where to begin.
I can't possibly drop everything and start with everyone I know, investigating them meticulously.
If Su Yue were to investigate by himself, he would probably be in his forties by the time he finished.
I don't have the time or the energy for this.
Thinking of this, Su Yue's inner thoughts about developing and expanding the Intelligence Outpost and recruiting more team members became clearer and more urgent.
If I had enough manpower.
Not only could I assign people to protect myself, but I could also have another group investigate which scoundrel is trying to assassinate me.
I need to quickly develop and expand the Intelligence Outpost, find competent agents, and make it bigger and stronger.
Moreover, even if I can't recruit suitable agents for now, if the Intelligence Outpost's level increases and refreshes higher-level and more detailed Intelligence, perhaps there will be clues about the fact that I am on a blacklist.
Su Yue thought to himself.
However, the most pressing matter is to determine the truth or falsity.
After all, my life is more important than anything, and Su Yue couldn't afford to be careless; he first had to confirm that the Intelligence given by the System was all true, with no falsehoods or misunderstandings.
Since there's no way to investigate directly, I'll take a roundabout approach and use 'proof by analogy'.
Thinking to himself, Su Yue picked up Lan Zijun's Intelligence from the desk again.
Using Lan Zijun's Intelligence, I'll verify whether the Intelligence given in the drawer is true or false.
If these pieces of Intelligence all match up during the process.
Then it means the refreshed Intelligence is accurate and correct, and Su Yue needs to quickly start protecting his own safety!
Whoosh—
His chest rose and fell again, sitting and taking deep breaths, Su Yue was no longer anxious.
Being on edge is useless; just face it head-on.
It's just that when going out normally, to public places, or hidden areas, I need to observe carefully and be extra cautious.
Moreover, there are still six months; at worst, I'll just leave when the time comes and hide.
Anyway, the System clearly only collected Intelligence that someone intends to harm me; it's not fortune-telling.
This means that if the other party can't find me, everything they planned will be in vain.
...
Su Yue filled a glass with ice water from the dispenser and tilted his head back.
Gulp, gulp, gulp—
The icy coolness went down his esophagus into his stomach, taking away excess heat, causing Su Yue to shiver comfortably.
Thud.
Putting down the glass, he picked up Lan Zijun's Intelligence file.
Su Yue had made a decision:
His funds were insufficient; although his life was very important, it would be in vain if there was no budget to provide to the System.
Furthermore, the System said that he would only encounter life-threatening danger in six months.
Although he didn't know how the System made this prediction or if it was correct, Su Yue still had plenty of time.
Hiding is the worst plan, because his Intelligence Outpost is already set up here; the monk can run, but the temple cannot.
As for the current plan, he should continue collecting Intelligence related to Lan Zijun, find a way to exchange his Intelligence for funds, and monetize it.
While gaining benefits from her, he could also verify whether the Intelligence refreshed by the drawer was true or false.
Analyzing it carefully, this approach is the most secure and maximizes benefits.
As the young lady of a group company, Lan Zijun was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and her net worth is naturally considerable.
To expand the Intelligence Outpost and recruit more agents, funds are essential.
Su Yue's initial capital was only 150,000 yuan; wanting to expand the scale of the Intelligence Outpost with that is simply wishful thinking.
Therefore, the more money, the better.
Secondly, although Su Yue didn't have any particular thoughts about Lan Zijun, his impression of her was quite good.
Diligent and responsible, considerate of subordinates, and kind-hearted.
Even if Su Yue had no real connection with Lan Zijun, he couldn't just watch her die.
What he needed to do, on one hand, was to confirm the authenticity of the Intelligence.
On the other hand, it was to try and establish a form of trust with Lan Zijun!
