Chapter 151-152

Chapter 151: The Abandoned Factory 　 Bai Shuangshuang was just about to scold her for being unperturbed and losing her composure when she saw Qin Bailu’s expression turn cold. “However, the matter of getting rid of Yan Jinyu is not urgent for now. Mom, Qiu Jian said that someone is using me as a tool. Do you think her words are trustworthy? Or is it that there’s no such person at all? Did Qiu Jian deliberately say that to scare me because she was angry?” Hearing that, Bai Shuangshuang’s hand that was lifting up the wine glass paused again, and an unknown gleam flashed past her eyes. “The Qiu Family is bankrupt, and Qiu Jian has fallen to such a state. How can you believe what she’s saying now? Don’t scare yourself!” “Mom, do you mean that Qiu Jian is lying to me? There’s no such person?” 　 　 “Do you think your mother is someone to be trifled with? If someone really wants to scheme against my daughter and use my daughter as a tool, how would I not know? Bailu, how did Mom teach you? You must not be surprised when you encounter something. Your brain isn’t a decoration. Can’t you feel if someone uses you as a tool?” “Mom is right. If someone really used me as a tool, how could I not notice?” As she spoke, her expression was sinister. “Good Qiu Jian, you actually dared to lie to me!” She looked at Bai Shuangshuang, “Mom, can I ignore Qiu Jian? Whenever I think that it’s all because of her that Master Nine has a bad impression of me, I can’t wait for her to disappear immediately! Now, she actually came to lie to me! Even if I can’t make her disappear, I don’t want to be responsible for her medical fees and let her take advantage of me for nothing!” “Foolish!” “Is that what I taught you? Everyone knows that you two are best friends, but you abandoned her at her most difficult time. Do you still want your reputation after all these years?” “I’m sorry, Mom. I got it now.” The unwillingness in her eyes was seen by Bai Shuangshuang. She leaned lazily on the sofa and swirled the wine glass in her hand. She took a sip of red wine, and an unknown gleam flashed past her eyes, “However, since you don’t like Qiu Jian so much, there’s a way. It can protect your reputation and you don’t have to care about her anymore.” Qin Bailu’s eyes lit up. “What way?” “Once and for all.” “M-Mom means…” She wanted to do a throat-slitting action, but she suddenly remembered that Yan Jinyu had done it before. She shuddered and quickly put down her hand that was raised halfway. Her expression was a little stiff as she said,” Let’s end Qiu Jian straight away? ” Bai Shuangshuang glanced at her, “Be smarter. Don’t let anyone find out about you.” 　 　 “I know, Mom, don’t worry! After her family went bankrupt, her parents brought her brother away to avoid creditors. They have abandoned their seriously injured daughter in the hospital and she attempted suicide in her despair. As for me, I’ve always been a kind person who will never abandon my friends!” “You’re not too stupid.” “Then, Mom, what about Yan Jinyu? Since there’s no one who uses me as a tool, I don’t have to spend too much effort on this matter. Then, can I focus on dealing with Yan Jinyu?” Yan Jinyu was already one of the biggest obstacles in her path to marry Master Nine and enter the Yin Family. Now, she was threatening her too. She couldn’t let her live! “You can’t kill her the first time, and you still want to kill her a second time? Do you think Master Nine is just for show? Since Master Nine wants to protect her, you shouldn’t target her for the time being. It’s to prevent Master Nine from having a worse impression of you. Be smart. What you need to do now is to change Master Nine’s impression of you! Even if Master Nine doesn’t like you, at least don’t make him hate you.” Qin Bailu clenched her fists unwillingly. “Yes, Mom.” Bai Shuangshuang’s gaze landed on her again, “You don’t have to be anxious either. What’s yours will be yours sooner or later. Don’t worry, Mom will help you. Besides, Mom did marry into the Qin Family without any status or background. You’re the legitimate daughter of the Qin Family, aren’t you more advantageous than Mom?” “What you have to do is to know how to endure. While you work hard to fight for it, you have to wait for the right opportunity. Now that Master Nine is beside Yan Jinyu, you can’t touch her but can’t you touch others? It’s good to have one less enemy.” Qin Bailu looked up at her in surprise. “Mom means… the Min Family…” 　 　 Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Bai Shuangshuang’s angry rebuke, “Idiot!” Qin Bailu was shocked. “The Min Family’s status is comparable to the Qin Family. Do you think that you can do anything to the Min Family? I want you to deal with that woman! Didn’t you tell me that Master Nine has that woman in his heart?” “B-But Mom, isn’t that person… isn’t Master Nine protecting her? Master Nine sent someone to protect her. I didn’t have the chance to do anything to her.” “Can’t you look for an opportunity if you don’t have the chance? If she doesn’t go out, you’ll think of a way to lure her out. Are those people still able to protect her if she goes out? As long as she isn’t protected by them, there will be a chance to attack!” “B-But, what method do I have to use to make her go out? It’s said that she hasn’t stepped out of the house for eight years.” If she didn’t bump into them coincidentally, she would probably never know that such an unknown person would be related to Master Nine and they seemed to have a deep relationship! Most importantly, Master Nine treated that person… “Can’t you think of a solution yourself? Are your brains for the show? I’ve taught you for so many years, and you still want me to help you do everything?” Seeing that Qin Bailu’s gaze seemed to be filled with “disbelief”, Bai Shuangshuang restrained her emotions and said, “Don’t blame Mom for being ruthless. I have to give you a chance to practice. When you really can’t deal with it, Mom will naturally help you. Just like this time, didn’t Mom accompany you to North City and even spent a lot of effort to find an opportunity for you to get close to Master Nine?” 　 　 “Who knew that you would be so useless? You ran back in a panic after being frightened by someone!” “Forget it. Since the matter has already passed, there’s no point in mentioning it again. Since you didn’t grasp this opportunity, I’ll find another chance to let you show your face in front of Master Nine. I’ll book an afternoon flight back to the capital. You’re tired too. Go take a shower and rest for a while. I’ll call you when it’s time.” Hearing Bai Shuangshuang’s words, Qin Bailu finally restrained her slightly complicated emotions, “Alright, thank you, Mom.” She was definitely unwilling to accept it, but she also knew that Yan Jinyu wasn’t the only one who was obstructing her from marrying into the Yin Family. Since she couldn’t deal with Yan Jinyu now, it was the same for her to target someone else. Furthermore, Qiu Jian actually dared to lie to her. She would definitely not let her off easily! Qin Bailu stood up and left. Bai Shuangshuang looked at her back deeply, then lowered her eyes, making it difficult for others to see the emotions in her eyes. She took another sip of red wine. She didn’t expect that the daughter of the Qiu Family, Qiu Jian, actually knew so much. Did she accidentally hear it? Or did someone tell her? It didn’t matter how she found out. She was destined to die. Speaking of which, she was still glad that Qin Bailu had such a temper. Even if Qiu Jian knew the truth, she didn’t tell her. Although she said that she wanted Qin Bailu to deal with Qiu Jian, she was actually just eliminating the suspicion. How could she let Qin Bailu meet Qiu Jian again? She took out her phone and sent a message. The content of the message: “Qiu Jian, the daughter of the Qiu Family, seems to know something. She’s in the capital’s hospital. It’s more convenient for you to make a move and let her have an accident.” *** In the southern suburbs of North City. An abandoned old factory. Yin Jiujin parked the car outside the factory. The two of them got out and saw ruins. Looking at the dilapidated factory door, Yin Jiujin’s expression was tense as he stood rooted to the ground. Seeing this, Yan Jinyu walked forward and held his hand. She smiled at him, “Brother Nine, let’s go in.” Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply and moved his lips to say something, but he didn’t say anything in the end. He held her hand tightly and led her slowly into the old factory. However, she didn’t notice that when Yan Jinyu’s gaze landed on the old factory in front of her again, her eyes suddenly darkened. Back then, it was here that the kidnappers hid in the main door. Her parents took 100 million dollars as ransom here. After knowing that they could only save one person, they chose to save Yan Jinyun without any hesitation. Then, they exchanged with each other and left with Yan Jinyun. They didn’t look at her or ask if she was okay. They didn’t even tell the kidnappers that they would prepare the ransom immediately and ask them not to hurt her. The kidnappers even had to shout when they were about to leave, “If you don’t get 100 million dollars in ransom in a day, we’ll kill her!” It could be said that if the kidnappers had not shouted, they might have forgotten that she was still in their hands. At that time, she was watching from the door. No crying, no shouting, no arguing. Until the kidnappers brought her back to the building in the factory. Yes, a building. There were many abandoned old warehouses here with only one two-story building. It seemed to be the place where the workers lived before the factory was abandoned. Her emotions were inevitably affected as her thoughts drifted away. The frustration that she had not felt for many days seemed to be slowly getting stronger again. At this moment, Yin Jiujin suddenly stopped in his tracks and lowered his eyes to look at her. “Why don’t we go back? Shall we come again in the future?” *** Chapter 152: The Danger Back Then Yan Jinyu was stunned. She clearly didn’t show anything and even hid her emotions so well but yet he could still sense it. Was it because of his sharp perception, or was it just because he cared about her? “Since we’re already here, why make another trip?” “On the other hand, Brother Nine, before we go in, can you…” She smiled.” Kiss me first? ” Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat. It was a heartache. His heart ached for her. The young lady was not someone who would ask for a kiss for no reason. At least, up until now, the young lady had never asked for a kiss from him. If she wanted to kiss him, she would always kiss him directly. But now… She looked calm on the surface, but she was probably feeling terrible deep down. She was just an 18-year-old girl. How could she be so calm? 　 　 He let go of her hand and held her face, making her look into his eyes. “Little Yu.” “Yes?” “You don’t have to worry so much in front of me. You can laugh when you’re happy and cry when you’re sad. This is your privilege as my fiancée.” Yan Jinyu suddenly couldn’t hold back the smile on her face. She wasn’t that weak. She had clearly endured so many difficulties. Why did she… …feel like crying? What a joke! Ever since she had her memories, she had never cried. Now that she had skills and knowledge, there was nothing that could stop her. Yet, she actually had the urge to cry! Before she could think further, she felt a cool sensation on her lips. Yin Jiujin had lowered his head and kissed her. His lips were cold, but the kiss was warm. It warmed her heart. His kiss was very gentle, so gentle that the frustration in her heart that she had not completely felt, dissipated bit by bit. It was so gentle that for the first time since she had remembered, her eyes were wet. 　 　 Yin Jiujin wanted to take a look at this old factory. He knew that Yan Jinyu’s mood would be affected if she came here again, but he insisted on bringing her along. Although he had changed his mind at the last minute, his determination to come here to take a look had never changed. His intention to bring Yan Jinyu along had also never changed. He only wanted to find a suitable opportunity to come over. He knew that Yan Jinyu would remember those bad experiences back then, but he didn’t change his mind about bringing her here. There were three reasons. Firstly, he wanted to see the place where she was in trouble back then with his own eyes. Secondly, he wanted to know how she had escaped from the two kidnappers who were much larger than her back then. Thirdly, he wanted to use his own method to completely get her out of that mental trauma. Although he did not know exactly how her mental trauma came about, he knew that it was definitely related to her past experience. Usually, psychological trauma could stimulate a turn for the better after experiencing familiar scenes. Although the process might be a little cruel, evasion was often not the solution. Yin Jiujin was someone who was used to being ruthless to himself. When dealing with problems, it was inevitable that he would choose a faster and more direct method. All he could do was accompany Yan Jinyu and give her a gentle kiss when her emotions were affected. Like now. After a long while, the kiss ended. Yin Jiujin gently pulled her into his embrace. After a while, he let go of her and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “Tell me about what happened back then?” Then, he saw that her eyes were a little red and moist. Yin Jiujin didn’t say anything and just lowered his head to kiss the corners of her eyes. His kiss made Yan Jinyu’s heart skip a beat. She didn’t avoid him and simply wrapped her arms around his waist. “Alright.” “Brother Nine, follow me.” She brought Yin Jiujin into the old factory and walked straight to a room on the second floor of the only flat building in the factory. The building was already very dilapidated, even more so than 16 years ago. 　 　 Fortunately, it was a brick house. Otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago. Yin Jiujin allowed Yan Jinyu to lead him into the room. The house was already very empty. Other than a few broken bricks and a few pieces of rotten wood, there was nothing else on the dusty ground. “A lot had changed here,” Yan Jinyu said. “After those two kidnappers kidnapped Yun’er and I from the amusement park, they locked us here. After that, the Yan Family brought the ransom over and we were brought downstairs together.” “At that time, the door of the factory was not so dilapidated so it could be closed. The Yan Family stood outside the door with the ransom, and the kidnappers brought us to stand at the door.” Yan Jinyu smiled at Yin Jiujin. “I won’t mention anything that the outside world all knows.” Wasn’t what the outside world knew about the Yan Family was them saving one daughter and abandoning the other? Yin Jiujin pursed his thin lips and restrained the emotions in his eyes as he looked at her silently. However, she continued to smile and said, “After Yun’er was brought back to the Yan Family, those two people brought me back here again.” “Previously, Yun’er and I stayed in this room for half a day. Later on, I stayed here alone for half a day.” Hence, she was locked up for an entire day. Had she eaten all day? Just as Yin Jiujin thought that Yan Jinyu said, “I think I didn’t eat anything then.” “I know that this can’t go on. In addition, I heard the two kidnappers cursing. They seemed to be saying that the Yan Family had called the police. I felt that I couldn’t continue like that.” 　 　 “I don’t know if they think that I’m too young to escape or something else. They didn’t tie me up.” “This room wasn’t that clean back then. It was filled with wooden planks and bricks that had just been removed.” “I found something that looked like a rope and tied it at the two ends of the door. This door is pulled open outwards. Basically, anyone who enters will be tripped by the rope.” “I found a few small pieces of the wood planks from the wooden boards. They’re not big, but there are many nails behind the door.” “Then, I sat back and howled loudly.” “The Yan Family had called the police. The kidnappers would definitely panic when I howled like that. With the darkening of the sky and them panicking, they couldn’t see clearly. Hence, they didn’t pay attention to their feet. They tripped over the rope and fell onto the wooden boards filled with nails.” “The kidnappers were quite skilled. They avoided the planks quickly and weren’t very seriously injured. I picked up the brick on the ground and knocked him out before he could react.” Yin Jiujin’s eyelids twitched when he heard that. “The first one was easy to resolve, but the second one was difficult. Fortunately, I was lucky. That person slipped and fell on the wooden board. I knocked him out again.” She said it lightly, but it made Yin Jiujin’s heart pound. She was just a child, and she was fighting with an adult. Furthermore, she had knocked out a man. Most probably, she was already exhausted then. Moreover, that man was skilled. It was obvious how dangerous the situation was then! Yin Jiujin didn’t dare to think too much about it. He tightened his grip on her hand. Yan Jinyu, who sensed the change in his mood, gave him a big smile. “Brother Nine, don’t worry. It’s all in the past.” “Later on, I left here and met people from Ghost Slaughter Island.” “That was what happened then.” Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply before pulling her into his embrace and hugging her tightly. Yan Jinyu was about to say that it was over when she realized that his arms that were hugging her seemed to be trembling. Yan Jinyu’s body couldn’t help but stiffen, and she sighed inwardly. Yin Jiujin wasn’t like the famous Yin Jiujin that others knew at all. The Yin Jiujin that everyone knew was dignified and ruthless. “I’m sorry,” Yin Jiujin said. Yan Jinyu looked up at him in confusion, “Sorry for what?” “You’re my fiancée. I have the responsibility to protect you, but I failed you.” 　 　 Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Brother Nine, what are you talking about? How old were you back then?” “Eight years old.” “Yes, you were only eight years old. You were still a child.” “I was a child when I was eight. What about you when you were two? How scared and desperate were you then?” Yan Jinyu tightened her grip on the corner of his shirt. Fear and despair… No matter how smart she was, she was only two years old. Under such circumstances, of course, she would have those emotions. However, Yin Jiujin was the first person to say that out loud. Even after she returned to the Yan Family and met so many people who either hated or cared about her, no one asked or mentioned that to her. Of course, it could also be because those who hated her were too lazy to mention it while those who cared about her were afraid that if they mentioned it, it would remind her of her unhappy past. “Besides, I was not young when I was eight years old. I even knew what kind of person I wanted to be and what kind of life I wanted to have.” He joined the army when he was eight years old. The Yin Family didn’t have any military background even after tracing back to their ancestors. He found the direction of his life by himself. Although later on… at the beginning, it was indeed a path that he thought he would take for the rest of his life. “I only blame myself for not seeing you sooner and being interested in you earlier.” “It’s not too late now,” Yan Jinyu said. “Just treat me well in the future.” Yin Jiujin looked at her. “Yes, I’ll treat you well in the future.” With that, the kiss landed again. *** At the North City airport, Bai Shuangshuang, who was about to board the plane, suddenly received a call. Nobody knew what the other party said, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks. “What?! She’s gone?!”
