7: Step by step, conquer the female president

Hmm?

Lan Zijun's brows furrowed slightly, a large question mark rising in her heart.

Unconsciously, she leaned forward, her slender waist arching.

"Sorry, sorry, President Lan!"

Seeing Lan Zijun's unusual reaction through the rearview mirror, the driver in the driver's seat thought he had braked too hard and jolted her, so he quickly apologized.

Feeling slightly out of sorts, but still maintaining her strong aura and showing no sign of panic, Lan Zijun waved her hand to indicate to the driver that it was fine, then elegantly resumed her previous sitting posture.

Outwardly, Lan Zijun remained expressionless, still maintaining a cold demeanor that kept others at a distance.

In reality, her mind was already racing with thoughts.

What is all this nonsense?!

Lan Zijun's first reaction was that someone was joking or playing a prank.

Know everything about me?

How is that possible!

Heh—

Lan Zijun let out a cold snort from her nose, her voice low and her eyes sharp.

Boring!

Just as Lan Zijun was about to crumple the note and throw it into the trash bag, another thought occurred to her.

That's not right!

This matter cannot be simply dismissed as a prank.

The other party risked being discovered to put the note in my pocket, just to play a prank on me?

Impossible.

Lan Zijun looked out the window, her phoenix eyes becoming sharp, her slanted brows like the corners of her eyes, making her already cold expression appear even more intimidating.

Is the other party after something, deliberately using the method of throwing a note to attract my attention?

Then what is he after?

Money? A project?

Or something else.

Lost in thought, Lan Zijun's gaze returned to the note, and she realized there was actually more writing on it.

Being able to manage a moderately sized enterprise, Lan Zijun had excellent patience.

She patiently, without rushing, unfolded the note again and saw that the crumpled white paper read:

【I understand you, better than anyone else.】

【You will need my help】

What exactly is the other party's intention?

Why not say it directly, and instead use such a method?

Lan Zijun shifted her sitting posture, tilting her head slightly back to allow blood to flow more concentratedly, increasing oxygen supply to her brain so her thoughts could become broader and faster.

Extending her thoughts further, Lan Zijun quickly recalled and analyzed everything she had done in the past three years.

After reviewing everything, Lan Zijun did not find any inappropriate actions she had taken during this period.

No tax evasion, no unfair competition, no private accompanying of leaders for drinks and meals.

She also didn't withhold employee benefits, didn't bully the weak, and certainly didn't engage in messy relationships.

The person who threw the note should have no personal grudges against her.

Then... could it be a work-related grudge, like a competitor?

Lan Zijun reached out and brushed a stray strand of hair from her ear.

That's not possible either.

After all, she had just come out of the company, and everyone inside was her own person. Even if there were a commercial spy sent by the other party, they wouldn't use such a clumsy method.

So....

Exhaling like orchids, a hint of confusion flashed in Lan Zijun's eyes, and she pondered in her heart: Who on earth put the note in my pocket, and what does he want to do?

Furthermore, she also realized a problem.

The person who put the note there was able to do so without her or Secretary Yang noticing.

This shows that her vigilance is not high enough.

The company is already struggling under the pressure from competitors, but the competitors aren't doing much better.

Moreover, it is said that Wang Jian's background is not very clean. If he really plans to resort to some underhanded methods...

Therefore, this note really cannot be taken lightly.

After a few breaths of thought, Lan Zijun remained composed, still maintaining a cold demeanor, and spoke to the female Secretary Yang in the passenger seat:

"Secretary Yang."

"Yes, President Lan, what is it?"

The female Secretary Yang turned around as quickly as possible, greeting Lan Zijun with a smile.

"I saw in the news that things have been quite unsettled recently. For safety's sake, hire a bodyguard for me." Lan Zijun said expressionlessly.

"Okay, President Lan, no problem."

Taking out a pen and notebook from her handbag, Secretary Yang quickly jotted down Lan Zijun's request, not daring to be slow in the slightest.

Lan Zijun did not tell Secretary Yang about the note; she disliked making a big fuss and letting everyone know.

Work high-profile, live low-key.

This has always been Lan Zijun's motto.

However, she would definitely investigate the note incident to the end, as it could potentially threaten her personal safety.

Rustle, rustle—

Lan Zijun calmly folded the note and placed it in her bag.

She was about to meet a client, and Lan Zijun needed to focus.

She quickly composed herself, trying her best to forget about the note incident, and fully immerse herself in the upcoming negotiation with the client.

However, Lan Zijun certainly took this matter to heart.

After these busy days, she planned to find her friend who was a professional criminal investigator.

She believed that nothing could escape his eyes!

...

After successfully delivering the note, Su Yue stopped thinking about Lan Zijun and honestly continued working.

He knew very well that Lan Zijun was, in a sense, a strong woman, at least when she was dealing with business matters. As for her private softness, Su Yue had yet to see it.

If it were an ordinary woman, facing a mysterious note with words like 'know everything' that made one's hair stand on end, she would inevitably show signs of panic and being at a loss.

But Lan Zijun was no ordinary woman; she had a strong character, and hoping to shake her composure with a mere note was clearly impossible.

This required patience, and Su Yue also needed other information or intelligence.

After all, so far, he had neither confirmed the authenticity of the intelligence nor obtained any concrete evidence. Even he himself was not very confident, so how could he impress Lan Zijun?

After work, he declined his colleagues' suggestion to go to a bar or other places to have fun and returned to his home.

His beautiful female roommate next door hadn't returned yet, but Su Yue didn't care.

He hadn't seen her for the past few days, which was normal, as his female roommate often had business trips. Although their relationship was relatively close, the difference in their identities and statuses meant that their lives only intersected at home.

At other times, they were like parallel lines.

Slightly reminiscing about the delicious beef brisket from a few days ago, Su Yue chuckled self-deprecatingly and went straight into the bedroom, standing at the entrance to the basement.

After undergoing iris, body temperature, fingerprint, and other tests, Su Yue entered the basement again and sat directly at the desk.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yue reached for the drawer.

The intelligence refresh cycle was once every seven days, and today was the day the Intelligence Outpost would refresh again!

Su Yue was a little nervous.

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a cub.

He had already chosen Lan Zijun as his target for selling intelligence, and in order to obtain more intelligence, Su Yue had invested a budget of 100,000 last time.

As the price for obtaining C-level intelligence.

After all, his wealth and even his life were now dependent on Lan Zijun.

The more detailed the intelligence, the better, of course.

Moreover, although there was still plenty of time, Su Yue had to speed up as much as possible.

Otherwise, what if that bastard who wanted to kill him suddenly had a whim and decided to move the plan forward?

As soon as the drawer opened, there was another envelope.

Su Yue opened the envelope, and this time there was a CD inside.

The carrier of the intelligence seemed to be related to the way the intelligence was obtained; this was Su Yue's guess, but he hadn't had time to verify it yet, as he had only received intelligence twice.

Moreover, he wasn't sure if the intelligence he received was valuable, or if he could find the key points.

After all, the System only provided the intelligence; the relevant collation, organization, and analysis still needed to be done by Su Yue himself.

However, this was also the only option.

He had now decided to use Lan Zijun as the source of funding for building his Intelligence Outpost, partly because Lan Zijun was the female rich person he was most familiar with and had the best chance of approaching, and partly because Lan Zijun shared his plight.

Both of them were inexplicably in danger of losing their lives.

With a slight sense of trepidation, Su Yue put the CD into the optical drive of his laptop, and the next second he breathed a sigh of relief.

This information was very detailed!

The newly acquired intelligence was about people who were relatively close to Lan Zijun, most of whom were her relatives, such as aunts and cousins.

The intelligence first provided a brief introduction, including name, age, relationship with Lan Zijun, etc., along with some photos Interception from surveillance or group photos.

Following that were detailed profiles of these individuals, including various data, images, and relationships.

It must be said that Su Yue felt quite enlightened.

As expected of a wealthy young lady, Lan Zijun had a dedicated nanny, driver, housekeeper, and even a dedicated doctor!

The information on these people was also listed in the file.

Furthermore, this information was no longer limited to surveillance footage or group photos; it also included methods such as mobile phone recordings, and many images seemed to have been taken by the owners of the information themselves.

There were also many fragmented video clips whose owners could not be determined at all. Su Yue guessed that these clips might be remnants left after deletion.

Su Yue casually clicked on one segment, and the next second he was dazzled by the screen full of naked bodies.

"Holy shit! Good kidneys." Su Yue rarely swore, and clicked on the next one.

This was a role-playing scene between a woman and a whip, very well done and full of charm.

After watching more than a dozen segments consecutively, Su Yue was numb.

"They know how to have fun," he said with a sigh, and clicked on the last segment.

The next second, his eyes lit up again. This segment was still blurry, clearly also stolen or recovered by the System.

In the center of the screen was a woman with her eyes closed and a flushed face. Just seeing this blurry face made Su Yue's blood surge.

There was nothing he could do; the angle was simply too immersive.

Appearing with this woman was a man's voice, accompanied by heavy breathing.

"You little bitch, you'll be the president's wife soon."

The segment ended there, and Su Yue began to ponder.

It wasn't that he was replaying those videos, but rather, he still hadn't found the answer he was looking for in this intelligence.

Who exactly wanted to assassinate Lan Zijun?

Su Yue had originally planned to use this intelligence to find out who wanted to assassinate Lan Zijun. He had actually been secretly observing and gathering information these past few days, but the information available in the company regarding this aspect was extremely limited. Clearly, everyone was not concerned about Lan Zijun's relatives.

However, in Su Yue's opinion, this group of people was the one that truly needed attention. The reason was simple: Su Yue had analyzed that the person who wanted to assassinate Lan Zijun was very likely someone with a huge conflict of interest with her.

The biggest conflict lay in the inheritance of the family property!

Lan Shengyi only had one daughter, Lan Zijun. If Lan Shengyi and his wife passed away, the first in line to inherit his family property would be Lan Zijun.

The order of inheritance in domestic law is a very serious concept, not like the method of sharing benefits and mixing things up in foreign countries. Domestic law stipulates that if the first in line heir exists, this heir will inherit the entire estate, and there is no room for subsequent heirs.

Only when all the first-in-line heirs, such as parents, children, and spouse, have passed away will the right of inheritance extend to the deceased's siblings, meaning Lan Zijun's uncles and aunts.

The total assets of Lans Group are conservatively estimated to be in the tens of billions. Divided among all of Lan Shengyi's siblings, each person could get at least several hundred million.

But as long as Lan Zijun exists, the share of the inheritance they can receive is zero.

Such a huge interest is enough for people to take risks. This is why Su Yue targeted Lan's relatives as suspects.

However, this newly refreshed information was of extremely limited value to Su Yue.

While he could narrow down a smaller group based on the relationships in the intelligence, which was the second-in-line heir group, there were still several people who fit this description.

Perhaps with more time, Su Yue could also use various means to further narrow down the circle of suspects, but Su Yue did not have sufficient time now!

Moreover, Su Yue also hoped to obtain some information that could impress Lan Zijun and initially gain her trust.

After all, what he possessed was all of Lan Zijun's personal information. Presumably, from Lan Zijun's perspective, someone who possessed such information would seem more like a pervert than a mysterious detective.

And gaining Lan Zijun's trust would make things easier.

Su Yue didn't have the time or ability to investigate Lan Zijun's relatives, but surely Lan Zijun had the time and resources to investigate?

As long as he could make her believe the intelligence he provided.

Of course, doing so would clearly severely affect Su Yue's earnings. After all, merely revealing intelligence about a potential assassination attempt is fundamentally different from directly telling Lan Zijun who the hired killer is, and the price would also be completely different.

But this was at least a viable fallback option.

From this perspective, this intelligence was not without value; at least his plan could proceed to the next step.

Next, it's time to throw out the heavy-hitting intelligence!
