65: The goddess actually has a voyeurism fetish?

"Tracking and anti-tracking techniques?" Lin Jia braced herself on the table, turning her computer chair to face Su Yue.

She casually grabbed her foot, unconsciously rubbing her toes while looking at Su Yue curiously, "You know about this?"

Su Yue secretly found it amusing. Lin Jia was also a goddess in many people's eyes; in front of outsiders, she was arrogant, intelligent, and capable. But at home, she immediately revealed her true nature, becoming a foot-picking commoner, and doing it with a certain aesthetic.

One could only say that with her looks, anything she did seemed acceptable.

Moreover, she wasn't actually picking her feet; she had just worn high heels all day, and her toes were a little uncomfortable, so she was just rubbing them.

"I do have some research in this area," Su Yue answered vaguely.

Of course, he wouldn't expose his identity; this was merely a test for Xu Jiajia, to see if he met the requirements for his candidate.

Lin Jia's eyes deepened, and she spoke faintly, "Why do you research this?"

"Everyone needs to have some pursuits, right? I enjoy this; isn't it normal to research it?" Su Yue replied righteously.

Su Yue's straightforwardness made Lin Jia lose interest in prying.

Mainly, her roommate's behavior over the past few years had made her trust his character greatly.

However, she truly didn't know that Su Yue's hobby was actually this.

She put her foot down, her fair, tender feet directly stepping onto the clean wooden floor, and her Big Eye looked squarely at Su Yue, "Is tracking and anti-tracking complicated?"

"It's hard to directly define it as complicated or not complicated," Su Yue shook his head, "because tracking and anti-tracking are fundamentally a psychological game between people."

"If the opponent is professional, then to counter-track, you have to formulate a complete plan. But if the opponent is just an ordinary person, you only need to use some basic techniques."

"How do you determine whether the opponent is professional or amateur?" Lin Jia asked seriously.

Su Yue smiled; it was a silly question. Even the smartest woman had moments of adorable foolishness; this was a weakness in a woman's character.

"If your basic techniques can't handle them, then of course they have some level of professionalism," he said with a smile.

"Oh." Lin Jia's expression was normal, showing no hint of embarrassment; she had clearly entered a student's state.

"So how do you deal with these amateur trackers?" she continued to ask.

"First, as I said, the essence of tracking and anti-tracking is a psychological game between people, regardless of whether the opponent is professional."

Su Yue was very calm, and he continued to speak faintly, "And the key lies in understanding and predicting the opponent's behavioral patterns."

"Unprofessional trackers and the tracked lack professionalism; their behavior can be implicitly considered a common pattern."

"The so-called common pattern is the subconscious reaction of an ordinary person when encountering a certain situation. For example," he looked at Lin Jia, "an ordinary person, when she feels she is being tracked, her subconscious reaction is to look back."

"If she doesn't find anything the first time, she'll do it a few more times, and each time it's a sudden move. And if she doesn't find the tracker after many sudden moves, the tracked person will lose her composure, become paranoid, irritable, and feel like everyone on the street is staring at her."

Lin Jia's expression shifted slightly, clearly Su Yue had hit upon her inner thoughts.

"In reality, this anti-tracking method is wrong, because the so-called sudden move is only what the tracked person perceives it to be."

Su Yue commented unceremoniously, "For the tracked person to look back, she first has to perform three actions: stop or slow down, twist her waist, and turn her head."

"And if the tracker has been staring at the other person, he will definitely discover the other person's actions in advance, and his response is extremely simple: he only needs to shift his gaze."

"The streets are full of people walking around; how do you pick out someone who isn't staring at you from among them?"

"Moreover, you have to perform three actions to make one sudden move, while the other person only needs to shift their gaze. Who is faster and who is slower is clear at a glance."

"Then what should I do?" Lin Jia listened, somewhat engrossed.

"Ultimately, a tracker's successful tracking of the tracked person is built upon his prediction of the other person's behavior."

"He sees you slow down and knows you're about to look back. He sees you leave at 8 AM sharp every morning and knows you're going to work. He also knows you'll take Chengxi Avenue, and even knows that it only takes you about ten minutes to walk from home to the company."

"In other words, he knows when and where you will appear. He doesn't even need to follow you; he just needs to wait for you at a fixed time and place according to your behavioral pattern."

"And what you need to do is change this fixed behavioral pattern!"

"For example, tomorrow you don't take Chengxi Avenue to work, but choose the Pedestrian Street direction instead. Or, for example, you usually focus on your commute, but tomorrow, you stop by a few shops along the way."

"Doing this seems to temporarily shake off the tracker, but he knows where I live and where I work, so he can still follow," Lin Jia said, confused.

"No, you need to understand one thing." Su Yue looked into Lin Jia's eyes: "In terms of the relationship between the two, your fixed behavioral pattern is actually also the tracker's fixed behavioral pattern!"

"You're used to appearing on Chengxi Avenue at 8 AM every day; isn't he also used to seeing you on Chengxi Avenue at 8 AM?"

"If you suddenly change your habits, the tracker's pre-set tracking plan based on your daily behavioral patterns will immediately become ineffective!"

"If he really has any ill intentions towards you," Su Yue continued seriously, "to ensure you remain under his visual surveillance, he will have to re-learn your new behavioral patterns, which brings him back to the initial, and most easily exposed, method: following you and staking you out!"

"And you, in turn, regain the initiative. You can suddenly walk into a certain side road, or a certain shop, and then observe the intersection or outside the door."

"Someone you see on Chengxi Avenue every day at eight o'clock, suddenly appearing behind you inexplicably when your route changes—I think that's enough for you to confirm who is tracking you."

Su Yue spoke with deep meaning, "Once the target is identified, how to deal with it next depends on your judgment of the entire situation."

Lin Jia listened, completely captivated!

She subconsciously scrutinized Su Yue, and she had to admit that after living together for so long, only today did she truly realize Su Yue's deeper qualities.

She never expected that this man, who had lived in the same house as her for several years, actually knew about this!

And, he was so professional!

Just listening to Su Yue's words, she felt enlightened!

Su Yue was right; tracking and anti-tracking were essentially a psychological game, fundamentally based on understanding and predicting the opponent's behavioral patterns, or habits!

And this was also an area Lin Jia excelled in, because as a Sales Director, analyzing customer psychology and behavioral habits was a compulsory course for her!

In this regard, Lin Jia was very confident. With Su Yue breaking through this barrier, Lin Jia believed that she would soon be able to uncover that sneaky stalker!

However, a question also arose in Lin Jia's mind.

What on earth did the other person research in his small room every day? Lin Jia couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

But curiosity aside, Lin Jia was a very sensible person, and they weren't intimate to that extent anyway, so she wouldn't casually inquire about Su Yue's privacy.

Moreover, she had another question that needed Su Yue's confirmation.

"Um..." she hesitated, "If I want to track someone, it's the same pattern, right? First, figure out their habits, then predict them?"

"And then? Then how do I dig out their secrets?" she looked at Su Yue expectantly.

"Ah?" Su Yue was startled.

He looked at Lin Jia in surprise.

Dig out their secrets?

What does that mean?

Why would you suddenly think of tracking others and digging out their secrets for no reason?

Could this arrogant goddess, who was a goddess in many people's eyes, actually have a voyeuristic tendency?
