68: I've secured her.

Su Yue had been at this breakfast stall for some time.

He was the one who pointed out this route on the Pedestrian Street to Lin Jia, and in the anti-tracking techniques he taught her, he specifically mentioned using stores to observe and detect trackers. Combined with Su Yue's understanding of the Pedestrian Street and Lin Jia, it was almost certain that Lin Jia would appear on this fork in the road.

In fact, from the very beginning, Su Yue guessed that Lin Jia would walk into the breakfast shop selling Western-style meals like burgers and bread.

The reason is simple: although Lin Jia doesn't like Western fast food, she is clean. Between a bright and clean Western restaurant and a breakfast stall full of the smell of everyday life, she would definitely choose the Western restaurant.

This is the mastery of so-called behavior patterns!

A behavior pattern is actually a type of big data. Due to various factors such as living habits, personality, environment, and growth experiences, a person will form their own set of behavior patterns.

And this behavior pattern is built upon their unique way of thinking. As long as you understand their logic, you can basically predict what choices they will make when facing certain situations.

Of course, the accuracy of this prediction cannot reach 100%, after all, humans are emotional animals, and a person's deep inner thoughts are difficult to sort out through daily behavior, but it can still reach over 80%.

The reason Su Yue secretly followed Lin Jia was to observe Lin Jia's sensitivity and learning ability regarding these intelligence gathering techniques.

It seems now that Lin Jia has mastered them quite well.

At least she did identify that tracker.

However, this tracker was somewhat unexpected for Su Yue.

Because Su Yue had also seen this tracker before!

That was before he and Lan Zijun completed their first transaction. Su Yue, on his way home at night, encountered a man wearing a hoodie near his home.

It was this man who triggered Lin Jia's action of installing surveillance.

And while Su Yue cannot say he has a photographic memory, after obtaining the Intelligence Outpost System, he has been consciously strengthening his observation skills.

Therefore, he recognized this man in the hoodie at a glance, which is also why he immediately confirmed that the other party was the tracker.

It was this point that made Su Yue a little wary.

He had previously thought that the person tracking Lin Jia was one of her suitors.

Lin Jia is a proper 'Bai Fumei' (fair, rich, and beautiful). From any perspective, she fits the criteria most men look for in a partner. If she were to publicly solicit for a husband like women in ancient times, Su Yue believes the suitors could fill the entire Pedestrian Street.

Therefore, it's normal for someone to track Lin Jia, trying to collect information about her to create a chance encounter, or simply waiting for an opportunity to act as a hero saving the beauty.

But this tracker was clearly somewhat abnormal.

The reason is simple: judging from his behavior, he was staking out Lin Jia, not simply tracking her!

A normal suitor, even if he tracks Lin Jia, would generally adopt a staking out method, because Lin Jia has two fixed locations where she appears: near her home and at her company!

He doesn't need to ensure Lin Jia is always in his sight; he just needs to observe near these two locations.

After all, ordinary people don't have such time costs, nor the corresponding tracking techniques, to ensure they can keep following Lin Jia without being shaken off.

Of course, it's also completely unnecessary.

And judging from Lin Jia's reaction, this staker has been staking out Lin Jia for several days now.

There are only two possibilities: either this staker is a fanatical suitor, meaning he is mentally unstable. Or, he actually has an ulterior motive for Lin Jia.

The latter possibility is much greater than the former, because this staker clearly possesses certain tracking skills.

Su Yue was a little puzzled. He subconsciously looked at the man in the hoodie nearby who was burying his head in his breakfast. The other party was clearly completely unaware that he was being secretly observed, and his attention was focused on Lin Jia in the Western fast-food restaurant opposite.

There was nothing remarkable about his appearance; he was just an ordinary young man.

His phone suddenly rang, and the man in the hoodie subconsciously turned his head to look over. However, as soon as he saw his shoulder move, Su Yue calmly shifted his gaze away. He stirred the noodles in his bowl while pressing the answer button.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Jia's pleasant voice rang out: "Su Yue, I found that tracker!"

"Oh? How did you find him?" Su Yue asked casually.

"Just as you said yesterday, I walked along the Pedestrian Street to the company today, and then used a corner to suddenly enter a store."

Lin Jia's voice was suppressed, she was clearly speaking softly: "It turned out that a man wearing a hoodie followed me and went into the breakfast stall opposite!"

"This man, I've seen him on Hexi Avenue every day these past few days, I have an impression!" Lin Jia said with certainty.

"Hmm, and then?" Su Yue's tone was full of curiosity.

"Then I called you. I don't know what to do now. I found out he seems a bit professional." Lin Jia's tone was a little helpless.

"And, I think he has an ulterior motive!"

Su Yue nodded approvingly; Lin Jia's intuition was very sharp.

"In that case, I suggest you find a professional." Su Yue said seriously.

"Where can I find one?"

Of course, only someone more professional can deal with a professional. Lin Jia also understood this principle.

"How about I send you a forum address later, and you try posting there for help?" Su Yue said uncertainly.

"Okay, I'm going to the company now, thank you." Lin Jia's voice was a little downcast, she said politely.

The call was hung up. A few seconds later, Lin Jia's figure appeared in Su Yue's sight.

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the breakfast stall, her gaze lingering on the man in the hoodie for a moment, and then turned and walked towards the company.

Watching Lin Jia's figure disappear at the end of the street, Su Yue stood up from a table behind a potted plant and walked towards the breakfast stall owner.

And here, it was conveniently not far from the man in the hoodie.

"Boss, how much?" He asked the Boss while scanning the man in the hoodie out of the corner of his eye. The latter had already taken out his phone at this time.

"8 yuan." The Boss replied. Su Yue nodded, took out his phone, and walked to the wall to scan the QR code on it.

"Boss, I've been exposed just now, I can't continue staking him out, someone else needs to take over..."

At this moment, Su Yue could vaguely hear a low voice coming from the man in the hoodie who was on the phone.

Su Yue's expression remained normal as he completed the payment and walked out of the breakfast shop without looking back.

He strolled in the opposite direction to Lin Jia, but his mood had become somewhat heavy.

Lin Jia is in trouble!

Su Yue didn't know who she had offended, or why, but he could now confirm that someone intended to harm Lin Jia!

However, this harm was currently only at the staking out stage. It was clear that the other party was also observing and judging.

Lin Jia herself had realized this, which is why her behavior has been a little unusual lately, and she has even started to appear somewhat fragile.

If it were the Lin Jia of the past, she would not have hesitated or wavered at all. Whether it was confronting the person directly or calling the police, she would have made a decision immediately.

And now she actually chose to call Su Yue for advice immediately. It's important to know that although she and Su Yue have lived under the same roof for over two years, they have always kept to themselves.

Of course, Su Yue didn't give Lin Jia good advice. This could be heard from Lin Jia's disappointed tone.

After all, this forum thing doesn't sound very reliable.

But in reality, this is the opportunity Su Yue needed!

Being an ordinary office worker is Su Yue's protective color. Su Yue has no intention of revealing that he has an Intelligence Outpost and has formed an intelligence organization called Deep Abyss Organization.

Even in front of Li Haoyang and Lin Jia, the two prospective operatives he has decided to recruit for the intelligence organization, Su Yue will not expose his true identity.

As for Lin Jia being disappointed now, it doesn't matter. Su Yue is certain that after she actually posts, she will receive a surprise!

Su Yue doesn't know who is planning to harm Lin Jia, but even if Lin Jia wasn't a prospective operative he was determined to bring into the Deep Abyss Organization, just based on the fact that they have been co-renting for over two years, Su Yue couldn't stand by and do nothing.

No matter how much trouble is involved, or how complicated the entire incident is, Su Yue will protect this female roommate!

...

While Lin Jia was feeling confused and uneasy, and Su Yue's mood was also somewhat heavy, Lan Zijun was in a good mood in the President's office at Far View (Yuantu) Company.

The municipal government's bidding work had been secured, and it was now in the initial preparatory stage.

And her work of controlling Lans Group and using the breakthrough opened by the Qian Boda incident to extend her influence into Qians Group was also progressing smoothly.

Lan Zijun did not intend to swallow the entire Qians Group; that would touch too many people's interests and offend too many people. This is a major taboo in business.

She only needed Qians Group to execute her will, and currently, this goal did not seem far off.

The company was calm at the moment, and there was no news from the Abyss, so Lan Zijun was not in a hurry. She casually handled the few remaining documents, took out her phone, and started dialing Liang Yuzhu's number.

The weather was nice today. Liang Yuzhu had helped Lan Zijun a lot before, and she hadn't properly thanked her best friend yet.

Let's invite my best friend to go for a spa together, Lan Zijun thought happily.

The call was not answered for a long time. Lan Zijun shook her head slightly and canceled the call.

Liang Yuzhu is the Captain of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Corps, and her job is quite busy, and many situations are not suitable for answering the phone.

It seemed she was busy with work again today, so the spa would have to be another day.

Just as she put down the phone, it suddenly rang, and it was Liang Yuzhu calling.

Lan Zijun quickly answered the phone: "Liang Yuzhu, are you finished with work?"

"Temporarily, yes." Liang Yuzhu's voice was a little strained, and her nose was somewhat stuffy.

"Liang Yuzhu, what's wrong?" Lan Zijun's smile froze on her face, and she asked in surprise.

"Something happened."

Liang Yuzhu was clearly suppressing her emotions, but in front of her best friend, she still seemed a little vulnerable.

"Liang Yuzhu, where are you now?" Lan Zijun stood up immediately, pulled open a drawer, and took out a car key.

"I'll come find you!"
