87: Instructions from Yuan Xin!
"Nothing, I'm in a good mood." Lin Jia wasn't someone who would let herself be taken advantage of, so she replied as she was.
Su Yue smiled. After Lin Jia was tracked and asked him for advice, their relationship had become much closer. At least before, Lin Jia wouldn't retort and carried a polite distance.
"I'm leaving." He waved his hand.
"Wait!" Just as he turned around, Lin Jia called out to him.
"The yard looks good." She praised.
Su Yue glanced around the renovated yard in front of him. The yard was indeed much neater than before. After all, it was near the sea, and the heavy rain caused the ground to sink easily. Although it wasn't severe, the entire yard always looked somewhat uneven and sloped towards the road.
However, Lin Jia's intention in stopping Su Yue was clearly not just to say that, as her gaze remained fixed on Su Yue, her eyes thoughtful.
"What is it?" Su Yue spread his hands.
"Well, you should be a little careful when you go out recently." Lin Jia said hesitantly.
"What... are you talking about you being tracked?" Su Yue asked subconsciously, suddenly realizing.
"Yes." Lin Jia nodded decisively. "I feel like the other party has taken further action recently."
"I've been seriously looking at the learning materials you sent me these past few days. Yesterday, according to your learning materials, I found a tracker on the car the company assigned to me," she continued.
A tracker?
Su Yue's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Is the other party no longer pretending?
"That professional?"
Su Yue frowned, looking at Lin Jia in surprise. "The materials I sent you had information about trackers?"
"Oh, you didn't send it? Then I got it mixed up." Lin Jia shook her head casually.
"Anyway, no matter what, be careful. These past few days, I've constantly felt like I'm being watched, but I can't find anyone," she continued.
"I'm just a nobody, who would have time to pay attention to me?"
Su Yue smiled and said with concern, "You, on the other hand, really need to be careful. If necessary, call Police."
He said worriedly, "Being able to use a tracker doesn't sound like some ordinary small force. And from a psychological perspective, using a tracker means the other party doesn't really care if you get any substantial evidence."
"Or," he continued, "something new has developed that makes them feel they must use this method, even if it means being targeted by Police."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lin Jia's eyes curved, clearly showing a smile behind her mask.
"That's good." Su Yue nodded. "I have to go, I'll be late if I don't leave now."
"If anything happens," he looked into Lin Jia's eyes seriously, "call me."
"Okay." Even the mask couldn't hide Lin Jia's radiant smile, and she nodded just as seriously.
Watching Su Yue walk out of the yard, unlock a shared bike from the roadside, and pedal towards the outside of the City Village, Lin Jia's smile slowly faded, replaced by a hint of distress.
She had been very busy lately. During the day, she had to work and counter-track, and at night, she had to study various learning materials. These were all sent to her by Yuan.
Originally, Lin Jia had a lot of resistance to joining a mysterious organization, but after being busy these past few days, she found that her life hadn't changed much.
So, if she joined, she joined. It wasn't a big deal.
However, although she was too busy to do anything else, her doubts about Yuan's identity had never been put down.
Just now, the moment she saw Su Yue come out wearing a trench coat, she felt a sense of familiarity.
But that feeling was fleeting, and even Lin Jia herself wasn't sure if it was an illusion.
Could Yuan's true identity be Su Yue?
The next second, she couldn't help but laugh.
This suspicion had appeared in her mind many times, but reason told her it was impossible.
Su Yue was just an ordinary office worker. Although he seemed to like some detective knowledge, there were some objective problems he simply couldn't solve.
For example, the inside story of Kelly Investment!
This was information known only to a very small number of Kelly Investment shareholders and stakeholders. Lin Jia, despite her wide network, didn't know this information, so Su Yue couldn't possibly have learned it from any channel.
It seemed she had been under a lot of mental stress lately, which was why she was being overly suspicious.
Shaking her head slightly, Lin Jia dismissed the question. She looked at the yard again. In any case, Su Yue was right, the other party had taken another step, and she had to think about how to ensure her own safety.
She turned and walked towards the house. She didn't plan to go to work today.
Because she had other pressing matters to attend to!
...
Lin Jia's job was very flexible. She could go to work if she wanted to, or stay home if she didn't. As long as she could continuously bring in business for the company, she could even stay home the entire time.
But Su Yue couldn't do that. He was just an ordinary office worker, at least in terms of his main job.
It took a full thirty minutes of cycling for Su Yue to finally reach the company, his hands numb with cold. This made him sigh inwardly that spring was truly a treacherous season.
Rubbing his hands while clocking in and entering the office, before he even had a chance to sit down, Li Haoyang came up to him.
"Su Ge, you're finally back at work!" He said with an exaggerated expression, as if they hadn't seen each other for ages.
"Uh..." Su Yue looked at Li Haoyang in surprise. "What? Did something happen?"
"Um... nothing." Li Haoyang was enthusiastic, but in the end, he just shook his head regretfully.
"Really nothing?" Su Yue asked with a curious expression. "You look like you have a lot of stories, and they can't be contained, they're about to burst out."
"Really nothing. Su Ge, you haven't been at work for so long, you must have a lot to do. I'm going to the restroom first." Li Haoyang fled in a hurry.
Looking at Li Haoyang's retreating back, Su Yue smiled.
Li Haoyang was a simple person. He still retained the innocence of a child, and little things made him very happy, eager to share with someone.
Clearly, he had been immersed in the excitement of secretly doing something big and joining a mysterious organization these past few days. However, even when facing Su Yue, he still suppressed the strong desire to share and chose to keep the secret.
This showed that Li Haoyang was indeed a very good intelligence operative, at least he was tight-lipped.
However, Li Haoyang was clearly not the type of office worker who was good at navigating social situations. Although he generally had good relationships with his colleagues, it was only because he was sincere, which made people willing to interact with him.
Therefore, Li Haoyang was not suitable to be an active intelligence gatherer. He could only passively receive information and couldn't probe for any secrets.
Furthermore, he was essentially a technical person. This was the right direction for him to utilize his strengths without worrying about him being exposed.
And right now, there was something he needed him to do.
Looking at Li Haoyang's back again, Li Haoyang was using the "bathroom escape" tactic. Given his personality, he wouldn't come out unless he stayed in there honestly for ten minutes or so.
Su Yue casually turned on his computer and logged into a special account.
This account was created by him using Li Haoyang's super administrator account, and it was also a super administrator itself.
Entrusting secrets to Li Haoyang was not a good choice. It wasn't that Su Yue didn't trust Li Haoyang, but everyone is driven by curiosity and a sense of responsibility.
Li Haoyang was one of the company's internal network administrators. It was his responsibility to maintain the company's network and ensure the security of internal information. Although he believed that serving Yuan was serving Lan Zijun, driven by responsibility and curiosity, he might secretly use technical means to check if Yuan had done anything using his account.
Now was the time to eliminate this hidden danger. Su Yue first went into the HR archives for a look and noted down Li Haoyang's personnel record. Then he checked his own account, confirming that it indeed had super administrator privileges and also wouldn't leave any records or log files. After that, he logged out of the account and casually picked up a mobile phone.
This phone was exactly what he had exchanged from the System. Su Yue had already decided that this phone would be specifically used for intelligence-related matters from now on.
He casually wrote two text messages and set them for delayed sending.
Next, it was time to wait for Li Haoyang's actions.
...
Su Yue's prediction was correct. Li Haoyang lingered in the restroom for a full ten minutes before coming out. He quietly returned to his seat and secretly glanced towards Su Yue.
With the partition there, he couldn't see Su Yue's face, only that he was sitting in front of the computer, his fingers dancing frantically on the keyboard.
Li Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yue was his best colleague at the company. He trusted and even relied on Su Yue on a daily basis, always liking to share anything he encountered with Su Yue.
Just now, he almost couldn't resist telling his secret. Fortunately, Su Yue didn't probe further.
He hoped Su Yue would just forget about this matter later due to being busy. After all, Su Yue hadn't been at work for five days, and there was quite a bit of accumulated work. Otherwise, under pressure from both inside and outside, Li Haoyang was really worried he might let something slip.
Just then, his phone suddenly chimed, receiving a text message.
Li Haoyang was startled. He quickly pretended to be focused, staring intently at his screen. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Yue subconsciously turn his head, but he turned it back in less than a second. Li Haoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Su Ge hadn't noticed his earlier lapse and had already forgotten about it.
He lightly picked up his phone, turned on the screen, and when he saw the text message, he was stunned.
The text message was sent from an unknown number, and it clearly contained two sentences.
"Remove the super administrator status from your account, and restore everything."
"Write a program that can remotely connect to cameras, complete it before 5 PM today."
Li Haoyang quickly read the two sentences. A look of relief mixed with seriousness appeared on his face.
Needless to say, this message was sent by Yuan, because only Yuan knew about the super administrator account.
Su Yue guessed correctly. Li Haoyang had indeed been worried about his super administrator account being exploited. After all, he trusted Lan Zijun, but Yuan was a complete stranger to him.
He had been paying attention to the company's movements these past few days. Fortunately, everything seemed normal so far.
And now he could finally fix the loophole he had created himself. Although if the other party really wanted to do something, they would have had enough time to finish it in the past few days, it still gave Li Haoyang a sense of relief from fixing the situation after the fact.
What made him serious was Yuan's other request.
Writing a program wasn't too complicated for Li Haoyang, after all, he had studied specialized databases and other knowledge in college.
And remotely connecting to a camera wasn't a very complicated matter. Most cameras nowadays have remote data transmission capabilities, which means they are also devices on the network with their own independent codes.
You just need to find the device's name, then find its port, enter the management password to gain control, and then use a program to transmit the footage in real-time to another device.
This was the key point. Li Haoyang knew very well that a large part of privacy leaks nowadays were due to household cameras being hacked.
What did Yuan plan to do with this program?
Li Haoyang was a bit conflicted. Just then, there was another chime, and a new text message was sent again.
Li Haoyang picked up his phone, casually glanced at it, and the next second, he suddenly jumped up.
"Holy crap!"
