Chapter 107-108

Chapter 107: The Bat Landed On Him ... Yan Jinyu’s gaze turned to her. Her gaze was not as sharp as when she was looking at Luo Yilin just now. It was obviously much gentler. “Are you frightened?” Yan Jinyun shook her head and then nodded again. “After being schemed against like this, you know what to do, right?” Yan Jinyu asked. Yan Jinyun’s eyes turned sharp as she looked at Luo Yilin. “Remove the Luo Family from North City completely and eliminate all future troubles! I’ve never been soft-hearted towards my enemies.” “It’s right to be ruthless to the enemy, but the Luo Family doesn’t have to be removed from North City.” “Firstly, Aunt is a member of the Luo Family. Due to the fact that Cousin Feng Yuan is protecting you now, you can’t make Aunt lose her backing even though Aunt doesn’t have a good relationship with the Luo Family. Secondly, the eldest daughter of the Luo Family, Luo Qiu, is your good friend. Your good friend will be sad if the Luo Family is gone, and you might not feel good either. Your friendship might even be destroyed because of this. This shouldn’t be what you want to see…” “Luo Qiu isn’t my good friend,” Yan Jinyun interrupted her. She looked at Feng Yuan, who had a complicated expression on his face, “She’s Feng Yuan’s cousin. She has a good relationship with Feng Yuan. Moreover, we’re in the same circle, so it’s inevitable that we’ll have more contact.” “Alright, whatever you say.” “However, Yun’er, putting the above two points aside, it’s impossible for the Yan Family to be the most influential family in North City.” In North City, the Luo Family’s status was second only to the Yan Family. Although the Luo Family’s status was not as high as the Yan Family, to a certain extent, it still had a certain level of checks and balances against the Yan Family. The Yan Family was the number one family in North City, but there were many high society families in North City. It was impossible for the Yan Family to be dominant in North City. Without the Luo Family’s relative balance, the various families would probably be more afraid of the Yan Family and think about their own interests. They might even join forces to deal with the Yan Family. 　 　 “Rather than causing more trouble, it’s better to keep the Luo Family alive. You just have to let them fall into the hands of someone who won’t harm you.” “Of course, you can’t trust others too much either. As the saying goes, one has to be vigilant against others. It’s just that based on the situation of you having just taken over the Yan Corporation, it’s not suitable for you to make a move on the Luo Family. If you really want to touch the Luo Family, at least after you can completely stabilize the Yan Corporation.” “Now, what you need to do is to stop the Luo Family from being your enemy’s backer. The death of Luo Wanhong’s first wife, Yu Yao, was not an accident. It was Zhang Mei, the current mistress of the Luo Family, who had meddled in Yu Yao’s surgery while she was giving birth to her child. The child that Yu Yao gave birth to back then was Luo Qiu.” Yan Jinyu glanced at Luo Yilin, who was staring at her in disbelief with wide eyes. She smiled and continued, “Oh, I forgot. Back then, Yu Yao gave birth to Luo Qiu overseas. No one out there even knew that Yu Yao had given birth before. They all thought that Luo Qiu was Zhang Mei’s biological daughter.” Yan Jinyu casually revealed the secret of the Luo Family that few people knew. As for her objectives. Firstly, she wanted to tell Yan Jinyun that Luo Qiu could be roped in. If Luo Qiu knew the truth back then, she wouldn’t side with Luo Yilin at all. Secondly, it was to scare Luo Yilin so that he understood that she even knew the secret that the Luo Family thought no one knew. She would know how difficult it was to provoke her and let Luo Yilin know that he had to pay the price for plotting against the person she was protecting. The price he had to pay was that his inheritance rights were about to be snatched away. His sister, who had respected him so much, would become his enemy from then on. All of this could be done with just a few words from her. 　 　 “W-What nonsense are you talking about?! Little Qiu is my biological sister, my mother’s biological daughter. Don’t try to drive a wedge between us here!” “Sowing discord?” Yan Jinyu sneered, “Do you think it’s necessary?” “I’m just telling Yun’er that Luo Qiu could be our partner. Anyway, Luo Qiu and Yun’er have a good relationship.” “On the other hand, Young Master Luo, don’t you think you’re being too careless by still caring if I’m trying to drive a wedge between you and your loved ones? Shouldn’t you be most worried about your safety now?” Luo Yilin felt inexplicably numb when he met her eyes. However, Yan Jinyu had already moved her gaze away and looked at Yan Jinyun, who was shocked by the Luo Family’s secrets. “Your considerations are still too obvious. You’ll be at a disadvantage easily. Didn’t I say that since you’re an adult, you have to think twice before you act?” Yan Jinyun slowly retracted the shock in her heart and felt a little ashamed. She was only concerned about her anger just now and didn’t consider so much at all. She only wanted to teach Luo Yilin a painful lesson, but she had forgotten the current situation of the Yan Corporation and what kind of trouble the Yan Family would face if the Luo Family was gone. If Yan Jinyu hadn’t told her so much now, she would probably have started to deal with the Luo Family as soon as she left safely. Yan Jinyun’s gaze landed on Yan Jinyu again. Was the difference between her and Yan Jinyu really that big? Putting aside how Yan Jinyu even knew the secret of the Luo Family that no one had ever mentioned before, just the fact that Yan Jinyu could consider so much at once was something that she couldn’t compare to at all. And Luo Qiu… Luo Qiu had always liked Zhang Mei as her mother and respected Luo Yilin, her older brother, the most. If she knew the truth back then, she wondered if she would be able to withstand such a blow. “I understand. I won’t make such a low-level mistake again in the future. I won’t let my anger get to my head and make me act rashly.” 　 　 Looking at Yan Jinyu, she bit her lip and said, “Thank you.” Yan Jinyu smiled in satisfaction and turned to Luo Yilin. Her smile didn’t disappear, but it made his hair stand on end. “Young Master Luo hasn’t answered me yet. Who did you say is yours?” “Don’t glare at me. You can’t scare me. You don’t have to look at these hired thugs. Do you think these few people can do anything to me since I’ve already appeared here successfully? Oh, I forgot to tell Young Master Luo that the five people at the start of the alley are all lying on the ground now.” Luo Yilin looked frightened. “You… You… No! That’s impossible!” Meeting Yan Jinyu’s smiling but cold eyes, Luo Yilin couldn’t help but take a few steps back. He hurriedly shouted at the few tattooed men, “What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and catch her!” Ever since he saw Yan Jinyu appear here in such a strange manner, he felt it was very creepy. Indeed, Yan Jinyu’s next words confirmed his guess. Other than his parents and him, everyone who knew about the Luo Family back then had been dealt with. Even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn’t. However, Yan Jinyu actually knew about it! Also, Yan Jinyu could actually make him lose the Luo Family’s inheritance rights with only a few words! She could even make Luo Qiu completely fall out with him! These people were hired by Luo Yilin, so they naturally listened to his orders. After all, they were paid. Hence, even though they felt very strange when they saw Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu appear, they still rushed forward and surrounded Yan Jinyu. Huo Siyu retreated to the side without a trace. She approached Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan and protected them secretly, not letting those people have the chance to use them as hostages to threaten Yan Jinyu. Being surrounded by 15 people, Feng Yuan didn’t even care about the shock he felt from seeing Yan Jinyu and hearing her words just now. He wanted to rush over, but he was stopped by Huo Siyu, “You better not drag Beauty Yu down.” “Sister can handle it,” Yan Jinyun said. Others couldn’t tell, but Feng Yuan, who knew Yan Jinyun well, could hear a hint of pride in her tone. He was even more shocked. He was shocked that Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun seemed to have a better relationship than he had imagined. He was even more shocked that Yan Jinyu could actually deal with 15 burly men who looked to be quite skilled alone! Feng Yuan was already surprised, but the next second, the scene in front of him almost made his jaw drop. Yan Jinyu spun around a few times, and those burly men were sent flying before they could even get close to her! Yes, they were sent flying! Bang! Bang! Bang! It was like playing baseball. Luo Yilin was shocked and turned to flee. How could Yan Jinyu give him the chance to slip away? With a flying roundhouse kick, he was directly sent flying. He hit the high wall of the dark alley and landed heavily. Yan Jinyu stepped on Luo Yilin’s heart and gently tapped his chin with the baseball bat. She looked down at him, “You even dare to touch the person I’m protecting. You’re very brave.” Seeing the blood at the corner of his lips, she said, “I thought you were very capable of daring to have thoughts that you shouldn’t have. I didn’t expect you to be so weak. You vomited blood after just one kick.” “…” The three onlookers. You didn’t just kick him. You sent him flying and hit the wall before he landed heavily. “Very few people dare to touch the people I’m protecting. It doesn’t seem to be enough to make you vomit blood and make the Luo Family stop being your backer. Hence, you’ll get another beating.” As she spoke, the baseball bat landed on him. His screams echoed through the dark alley. The three onlookers, including Huo Siyu, were shocked. *** Chapter 108: Accept It Calmly ... Looking at the scene in front of him, Feng Yuan could only speak after a long while, “J-Jinyu…” Huo Siyu was more experienced than them after all. She was shocked because she didn’t expect Yan Jinyu to be so angry. In comparison, Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun were the ones who were really frightened. Yan Jinyun was still alright. After all, she had seen Yan Jinyu’s ruthless side with her own eyes. However, she still couldn’t stand such a cruel scene when she saw the baseball bat landing on Luo Yilin’s body again and again and heard Luo Yilin’s heartbreaking screams. It wasn’t that she pitied Luo Yilin, but she had never seen such a scene before and found it difficult to adapt to it. 　 　 Luo Yilin had designed about her, so she was actually happy that Yan Jinyu was beating him up viciously. However, Feng Yuan was not as calm as them. Only he knew how shocked he was now, or rather, how frightened he was. He had thought that Jinyu had really grown up in the orphanage in a town like they knew and was afraid that she would be bullied when she returned to the Yan Family. Later on, he realized that Jinyu had a side that no one knew about when he saw Jinyu’s superb driving skills at the racing arena. Then, when Jinyu was still able to face people calmly despite being treated so harshly by her biological parents, he had a new understanding of her. Jinyu was strong enough. These could still be figured out, but how could a seemingly innocent and harmless girl like Jinyu be so ruthless? He could not figure that out. If it were him, he would at most kick Luo Yilin a few times in anger. He couldn’t hit him with a bat as calmly as Jinyu. Alright, if it wasn’t for those burly men and he happened to have a baseball bat in his hand, he would probably have done the same as Jinyu. But he was a guy! In North City, he was considered a hedonistic son. Although fighting was not common to him, it was not unprecedented. What about Jinyu? She was just a young girl. Why did she… And her skills… How did she have such formidable skills? Also, didn’t the young mistress of the Huo Family in South City, Huo Siyu, say that she had only known Jinyu for a few days? Why did she look like she was very familiar with Jinyu? Jinyu was holding a baseball bat and she was holding a small lancet. They didn’t look like kind people. Feng Yuan had too many questions. Everything that happened today had given him too much of a shock. He could not recover for a moment. But no matter what, Yan Jinyun wouldn’t be in danger anymore after the situation had turned around. He heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt extremely happy to see Luo Yilin being taught a lesson again. 　 　 Yan Jinyun waited until Luo Yilin was barely breathing, his mouth and nose were covered in blood, and his screams gradually became softer before she said, “Alright, Sister, don’t kill him.” She wasn’t worried about Luo Yilin’s life, but she was worried that Yan Jinyu would get involved in a murder case because of this. After calming down, Feng Yuan said, “Jinyu, it’s enough to teach him a lesson. It’s troublesome if he dies.” Huo Siyu did not say anything. In her opinion, it wasn’t like there was no way to clean up the aftermath of Luo Yilin’s death. He was lucky if he was to survive. If he died, he deserved it. After all, he was the one who started it. He even had such disgusting thoughts about Yan Jinyun. If Beauty Yu wasn’t around, Yan Jinyun’s life would have been ruined by Luo Yilin. Hence, no matter what happened to Luo Yilin, he deserved it. Yan Jinyu stopped in the end. She held the bloodstained baseball bat and turned back to look at them. At that moment, there was a faint smile on her face. “…” Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun. They were definitely shocked, but more than that, they were suddenly feeling complicated. Humans weren’t born ruthless. The fact that Yan Jinyu could still smile after she created such a creepy scene must have something to do with her experiences all these years. What kind of environment did she grow up in? How did it become like this? At that moment, Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun weren’t afraid of Yan Jinyu, but their hearts ached for her. She was clearly not a cruel person, but she could beat someone to death with a faint smile on her face. 　 　 Fighting was as simple as eating and drinking to her. “Why are you all stunned? Were you frightened?” She asked with a smile. “Jinyu, you…” Feng Yuan looked at her and then at Luo Yilin, who was groaning on the ground. He sighed softly,” Forget it, we’ll talk about it in the future. ” “You guys go back first. I’ll call someone to settle the aftermath.” He wanted the three girls to leave first. “There’s no need to clean up the aftermath. Some people should learn their lesson.” As she spoke, Yan Jinyu looked at Huo Siyu. “Little Rain, call someone to bring these people away. Cripple one of their hands before throwing them out of North City.” She kicked Luo Yilin, who was lying on the ground. “As for him, bring him back and lock him up for a few days.” Huo Siyu’s lips twitched. “Beauty Yu, with him like this, he’ll probably lose his life after being locked up for a few days. Of course, I have no objections if you want his life. But didn’t you say that you can’t take his life for the time being?” “You’re so weak, yet you still dare to have thoughts that you shouldn’t have.” Yan Jinyu frowned and kicked Luo Yilin again. This kick directly landed on Luo Yilin’s heart. The force was huge, and it directly knocked him out. “Then take him back to the lockup for a night. We’ll send him back to the Luo Family tomorrow.” “Oh right, Cousin Feng Yuan.” She suddenly called his name. Feng Yuan, who was shocked and complicated, was stunned for a moment before he recovered, “What?” “I remember that your Feng Family specializes in the entertainment industry and is rather familiar with news and public opinion. I wonder if you can help me spread the news about the Luo Family that I mentioned just now? If it’s not convenient, it’s fine. I’ll go look for Brother Nine…” 　 　 She could even hack the surveillance cameras, so naturally, she could send some news to the public. However, if she took action too many times, it would be inevitable that she would expose her whereabouts and be targeted by her enemies. When that time came, there would definitely be endless trouble. She did not want her carefree life to be broken, at least not so quickly. She tried her best not to do anything herself if possible. “Yes! Of course!” Feng Yuan quickly interrupted her. “I can settle this small matter. You don’t have to trouble Master Nine.” Master Nine probably didn’t know that Jinyu had such a side. If he did, with Master Nine’s status, he definitely wouldn’t leave anyone suspicious by his side. He would definitely investigate Jinyu’s past carefully. It was fine if there was nothing special about Jinyu’s past, but… He couldn’t believe that she was so skilled. She had defeated more than 10 strong men with a baseball bat in just a few seconds alone. She even beat Luo Yilin half to death with a smile on her face. At the same time, Jinyu’s driving skills were even better than professional racers. Her past would be simple. He wanted to know Jinyu’s past, but he wouldn’t care about it. However, Master Nine might. Yesterday, when he saw Jinyu and Master Nine’s interactions in the Yan Family, he could tell that Jinyu cared about Master Nine. Since that was the case, they should try their best to avoid anything that might ruin their relationship. It was good that they knew about Jinyu’s difference, so they shouldn’t let Master Nine know for the time being. Of course, Jinyu lived in Mount Jing and lived with Master Nine all day. With Master Nine’s ability, it was only a matter of time before he realized that she was different. He would delay it as long as he could. Master Nine would be more concerned about Jinyu if he could spend more time with her. This way, Master Nine might not mind so much when he realized that Jinyu was different and even investigated her past. Yan Jinyu didn’t know what Feng Yuan was thinking. However, with her intelligence, as long as she was willing to use her brain, she could probably guess it. However, she did not expose him. She didn’t intend to say that she wasn’t afraid of Yin Jiujin discovering her identity. She could see Feng Yuan’s intentions and would keep it in her heart, but she would not tell him everything. Not to mention Feng Yuan, Yan Jinyu had never thought of letting even Huo Siyu and the rest know that she had such thoughts. “I’ll have to trouble Cousin Feng Yuan then.” She turned to Yan Jinyun and asked with a smile, “Yun’er, after the news of the Luo Family spread, you know what to do, right?” Yan Jinyun wasn’t stupid. Yan Jinyu kept saying “the person I’m protecting” and repeatedly reminded her about the Luo Family. How could she not tell that Yan Jinyu was planning for her? Compared to her, Yan Jinyu was the one who had suffered a lot and needed to be cared for. However, she was the one who cared about her and protected her… However, she didn’t dislike Yan Jinyu treating her like this. She even felt very warm and hoped that Yan Jinyu would always treat her so well. How could she be so greedy? She had clearly received everything—the love of her parents, the inheritance rights of the family… Yan Jinyu had nothing. She even led a wandering life and suffered so much. Looking into Yan Jinyu’s smiling eyes, Yan Jinyun clenched her fists gently. Yan Jinyun wasn’t someone who didn’t know how to repay others for their kindness. Since she hoped that Yan Jinyu would always treat her well, she should just accept Yan Jinyu’s kindness. Anyway, she was the head of the Yan Corporation now. She would definitely let the Yan Corporation rise to a higher level. She would let Yan Jinyu marry into the Yin Family and not lose her confidence in front of them in the future! “I know.” 10 minutes later, Zhao Kun brought a group of people over and brought away Luo Yilin and the people who Luo Yilin had called over. Undoubtedly, Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun were shocked to see Zhao Kun. However, perhaps because Yan Jinyu had given them too much shock, their reaction this time wasn’t that big. They only looked at Yan Jinyu strangely before looking away without saying anything or asking anything.
