Readers will want to keep reading to find out how it turns out. Novelists will often end a chapter with a gunshot and make the reader begin reading the next chapter to find out who got shot and if the character survives.

It sets up an expectation that something eventful will happen without revealing what it is.

What is one reason withholding information the narrator gives is sometimes more intelligent?

As an omniscient or semi-omniscient being or voice that merely relates the story to the audience, the narrator already KNOWS details of the story--since the narrator is the writer, whether the writer uses 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person voice. So I, as narrator-writer, might already know in the plot that a "good girl" character has a dark past in which she murdered her parents. But I, as writer-narrator, can withhold that information from the audience, or leave subtle hints about some (unnamed) event or circumstance in her story. The narrator's knowledge does NOT need to be dumped all at one time onto the pages. Withholding sets aside the narrator's knowledge (intelligence) in order to create surprise, suspense, and garner reader's interest in figuring out the plot.
