Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 119 Cai Jiang Becomes a Wanted Person
"My name is nothing special; I am merely an apprentice. I have come to deliver today's latest newspaper to you as instructed by Miss. Please accept it with a smile."

"Miss, I hope you don't need to worry too much."

The visitor left behind a brand-new newspaper and this note, and then politely withdrew.

"Why would someone specifically bring newspapers when we're both at school?"

"Oh, she didn't come to school today. Well, the banquet will keep her busy for several days, she must have taken leave."

Su Yu then remembered this matter.

The newspaper, still smelling of ink, was warm at the edges when turned over.

Major Revelation: The Inside Story of Underground Banks

The Tsai family stated that this was an individual crime and had nothing to do with the family.

Whereabouts unknown, official reward offered.

Below the huge, bold black title, it immediately grabs the reader's attention.

The report subtly mentions the "Song family," implying that the Song family is behind this operation.

"Following the union, the Song family has finally made its move." Su Yu paused slightly, a knowing glint in his eyes.

Many people might think that handing the list to the black hand and having each person sign it meant that the union had abandoned its employees, but that's not the case.

Without a union, a benefactor could persuade sailors to voluntarily waive their claims and make sacrifices without paying a single penny.

Only with a labor union can each household receive 100 Jin Hailong's compensation.

For unions, compensation is the most important thing, because everyone needs money to live. As for further striving for "justice," that is almost outside the scope of unions; it is within the scope of social rules.

Similarly, the Song family cannot directly eliminate the Cai family, but they can make the Cai family abandon Cai Jiang.

This is not some dirty deal. If the Song family wants to kill the Cai family, half of them will also die. So, let alone develop the island, how long can the Song family survive?
After reading it carefully, Su Yu was filled with emotion, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"Boss Cai Jiang's businesses have all been seized, and he himself is missing. He has been wanted and a reward has been offered for his capture. This is a complete uprooting!"

"The Song family has made their move; he's finished!"

"We've finally come this far... Wait for me a little longer, boss, you must hold on a little longer... I will personally send you to your death, or rather, to the black mist."

In this world, there are legends of divine kingdoms, but there is no such thing as hell.

Floating on the sea to the unpredictable islands, they seemed not to believe that hell existed below.

Instead, it was enveloped in black mist, much like a curse passed down by word of mouth, its meaning essentially equivalent to the "annihilation of body and soul" in previous myths.

In Su Yu's opinion, the black mist was excellent and very suitable as the final resting place for the boss.

"The last act of mercy from a former employee is to let you die quickly, to lessen your suffering..."

"However, solving our own problems is the most urgent thing right now."

Su Yu felt little relief; instead, he became even more vigilant.

Cai Jiang was his boss in his previous life, a big shot in his eyes. But when the Song family exerted their power, even with the Cai family behind him, Cai Jiang was destroyed so quickly.

"The power of nobility!" Su Yu murmured.

In any case, Cai Jiang's fate, from another perspective, confirms the correctness of his choice. He needed time, strength, and a stable rear.

Su Yu removed the newspaper, and the afternoon sun shone brightly. He walked out of the classroom, through the courtyard where students were free to move around, past the lines of students returning to their classrooms, and headed towards the area where the academic affairs office was located.

In the cold, quiet corridor, most of the rooms he passed were closed, except for one that was open near the end of the passageway. As the grandfather clock struck once at the end, he knocked on the oak door.

"Come in." A man's voice came from above. The bronze bust on the fireplace gleamed in the light from the window. Su Yu glanced at it and saw that the name tag read "Lecturer." He was not young, with a few strands of gray at his temples, and he was checking student files.

"Sir, I'm here to apply for an occupational orientation assessment."

"Occupational aptitude assessment?"

After a moment of silence, the lecturer raised his eyelids: "Young man, the career orientation assessment requires the signature of a resident lecturer to confirm eligibility." "Here," Su Yu handed over Mr. Cheng's approval document and showed his chief badge.

The lecturer looked at him with surprise, glanced at the badge, said nothing, and handed out a form.

Su Yu glanced at the form that had been distributed and saw a triangle drawn in red pen that made him feel depressed.

"Sure!"

Reach out and press on the mark, and instantly the parchment form will reveal dense textures, with leaf-like veins appearing before your eyes, overflowing with a bright emerald luster.

"Your meditation is perfect, and your talent is exceptional. You are indeed qualified."

"The exam fee is 20 gold sea dragons. Once submitted, it is non-refundable. However, someone has already paid it for you!"

Who is it?
The parchment, stained with years of blood under the gaslight, held the tip of a quill pen, which wrote automatically on it; the sealing wax was the association's emblem.

"Su Yu!" The teacher with silver-rimmed glasses looked at the parchment, expressionless: "You have been selected to undergo a career aptitude assessment, which consists of a theoretical exam and a practical exam. The assessment location has already been assigned."

"You're lucky, the exam is coming up soon! But the location isn't in this district, so you need to prepare!"

"If you are taking the theory exam, please arrive at the college's advanced department at 14:30 PM today."

"If you are to take the practical exam, please wait for the spell information on the parchment before arriving at the designated exam location on time."

"Please note that the practical exam will be supervised, but requesting assistance will mean you have failed the assessment."

“Yes, I understand.” Su Yu replied solemnly. The exam location was not the familiar campus, but the more solemn and dignified academy's higher division, located at one end of the city. Although it was not far, he was already a little nervous about the one and a half hours. He took the permit, bowed slightly, turned around and left. Once outside the school gate, he hailed a carriage.

Public carriages are relatively cheap, costing only 4 copper starfish, but you have to wait for a train, and if you're unlucky, it can take a lot of time.

Calling a two-wheeled light carriage costs at least 6 copper starfish, and the total cost is not small, but it is fast and reliable.

Now Su Yu naturally called out.

Quite by chance, there was a two-wheeled carriage for rent not far away. After getting on the carriage and giving the address, Su Yu closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

The strange appearance of the parchment just now surprised him, yet he also felt it was perfectly natural.

"Magic identification, automatic allocation, task generation!"

Su Yu looked around at the pedestrians and carriages, which seemed to be typical of the 19th century, but magic is sometimes more amazing than technology.

"Assigning locations on a given day, theoretical exams are one thing, but assigning locations for practical exams? Are you asking me to solve real-world ghostly problems?"

I was just thinking about it.

"Sir, we've arrived at the Higher Department of the Academy," the driver reminded him. "The fare is two silver sea monsters."

Su Yu threw down two silver coins and jumped down.

The college's higher education section is heavily guarded, with a quiet environment that exudes an atmosphere completely different from ordinary campuses.

Following the instructions, Su Yu arrived at the designated entrance.

It was still early, so he took a deep breath and was about to show his identification to enter when he was stopped by two people.

One male and one female.

The man was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black suit and tie, gold-rimmed glasses, and carrying a briefcase. He was clearly a lawyer or someone of that kind.

It's Attorney Zhang, whom I know.

The woman was dressed in a well-fitting dark maid outfit, her long hair was tied up, and her face was expressionless. She simply stood quietly behind the lawyer with her hands folded in front of her.

She didn't speak, but Su Yu sensed a faint but dangerous aura emanating from her—a restrained yet extremely threatening feeling born of special training.

Attorney Zhang, referring to Su Yu, adjusted his glasses and said politely, "I am Attorney Zhang, representing some people who... care about you, and we would like to talk to you again."
