Chapter 194-195

Chapter 194: Another Wave Arises 　 After the plane arrived in the capital, Yin Jiujin got into the car that was waiting for him at the airport. Lin Zimu followed and sat in the front passenger seat. It was only now that he finally dared to speak, “Boss, is something wrong?” He couldn’t ask others about it beforehand as the phone was in flight mode on the plane. The car headed straight for the Empire Group’s new building. The Empire Group building was just built and not renovated yet. They were going to the office building beside the Empire Group. The Empire Group’s office in the capital was in this office building. 　 　 Lin Zimu dared to speak now because Yin Jiujin had just received Yan Jinyu’s call to ask if he had arrived in the capital. His frightening aura had dissipated greatly. “Accident.” Lin Zimu was indeed a top assistant. Yin Jiujin only said a word before he guessed what was going on. He quickly took out his phone to search for news. Accidents during the construction of buildings were not uncommon. Moreover, the Empire Building had been completed for a while and was now in the renovation phase. There was no major accident during the construction, but there was an accident during the renovation. Five people died and eight were seriously injured. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was how dare someone report it so fearlessly when this happened in the Empire Building! The sudden accident was already strange, but it was actually reported immediately. Even the Empire Group could not stop the news. Was this a joke? He had never seen anyone who dared to offend the Empire Group and its boss. Under this piece of news, it was obvious that someone was guiding the public’s opinion towards the Empire Group’s disadvantage. 　 　 Who was so capable? Who dared to touch the lion’s den? As he was thinking, the news on Lin Zimu’s hand disappeared instantly. It was obviously removed. This news could not be removed when the Empire Group stepped in and now, it was removed. It was as if this news had never appeared on the Internet. It was so clean that nothing could be found! “Boss, the news on the Internet has been removed.” Yin Jiujin’s expression darkened, and his beautiful eyes darkened. It was obvious that he had nothing to do with the news being removed. Lin Zimu was even more shocked. So, what was the other party’s motive? To lure the boss back to the capital? The news was not removed any other time, but as soon as the boss arrived in the capital. Other than the fact that the other party’s purpose was to lure the boss back to the capital, he could not think of any other possibility. Why were they luring the boss back to the capital? How could Yin Jiujin not have thought of this when Lin Zimu thought of it? “Let’s go straight to the Mount West Villa,” Yin Jiujin said coldly. He was speaking to the driver. 　 　 Then, he looked at Lin Zimu. “Call Jiang Hao and ask him to invite everyone involved in this matter to the Mount West Villa as guests!” Jiang Hao, the general manager of the Empire Group. An important subordinate of Yin Jiujin. Lin Zimu was shocked. There were countless people involved in this matter. Not to mention others, there were countless people who ignored the Empire Group’s warning and went ahead to publish the news. He had a hunch that there would probably be a huge commotion in the capital now after the boss had been silent for many years. So, what was the other party’s motive? Was it to make the boss make a commotion and shock everyone so that they wouldn’t dare to offend the boss? Lin Zimu was shocked and called Jiang Hao. Just as Lin Zimu and Jiang Hao finished relaying Yin Jiujin’s instructions and hung up, Yin Jiujin’s phone rang. He answered the call with a frown. “Speak.” “Master Nine, the Lingering Garden is on fire.” *** South City. Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu left the house early in the morning. Yan Jinyu planned to accompany Huo Siyu to shop for a while before she would go straight to the airport to pick Yin Jiujin up when he came over. She didn’t expect to receive Yin Jiujin’s call after shopping with Huo Siyu for a while. He said that he had something to do and had to make a trip to the capital at the last minute. He couldn’t come to South City for the time being. 　 　 At that moment, Huo Siyu saw the obvious disappointment on Yan Jinyu’s face. Huo Siyu knew that Yin Jiujin was coming over. She also knew that Yan Jinyu had specially investigated which hotel in South City was the best for Yin Jiujin. She had even booked the hotel. After all, it was impossible for Yin Jiujin to stay in the Huo Family. However, Yan Jinyu’s disappointment was quickly replaced by other emotions. She received a call from Xi Fengling. Xi Fengling told her about the accident at the Empire Building that was in the capital. Yan Jinyu casually browsed the related news and then found an internet cafe nearby. Even with her and Huo Siyu’s combined efforts, they could not completely remove the news on the Internet. They only deleted a portion of it. As for the other part, they couldn’t delete it which could only mean that someone with computer skills above them was controlling it. Among the four of them, Yan Jinyu was the best at controlling computers. However, even Yan Jinyu couldn’t beat the other party. The two of them sat in the internet cafe for a few hours. Only when Yin Jiujin arrived in the capital did all the news that they couldn’t delete disappear at a certain moment, leaving no traces. Yan Jinyu hung up and called Yin Jiujin. Huo Siyu, who was sitting in front of the computer, frowned and asked, “Beauty Yu, could the other party be the same person who killed Old Smith?” “I’m not sure,” Yan Jinyu said. She looked serious. If the other party was really the same person who killed Smith and had luckily escaped from Ghost Slaughter Island, then he could have targeted her. Why did he have to target Yin Jiujin? Could it be that Yin Jiujin had been implicated by her? However, even so, was the other party that stupid? Didn’t the other party know that provoking Yin Jiujin was only a momentary pleasure? He would definitely not be able to gain anything from Yin Jiujin’s counterattack. Then why did the other party put in so much effort? Using this bit of news to crush Yin Jiujin? Impossible. If Yin Jiujin could be defeated so easily, he wouldn’t be Master Nine, who could intimidate a large group of people with just his name. “Regardless of whether they’re the same person, the other party’s intentions are really hard to guess. What’s the purpose of causing such a huge commotion and making everything calm down in such a short time? They can’t be playing with Second Young Master Yin, right?” Huo Siyu was a little stunned. “If he’s really playing with Second Young Master Yin, the price he has to pay is too high. I shiver a little when I think about how Second Young Master Yin will take revenge in the future.” “Won’t the capital be turned upside down now?” “Second Young Master Yin’s name will probably appear in front of the people in the capital in an extremely shocking manner again.” “Could it be that the other party wants to see Second Young Master Yin use a fierce method to intimidate everyone again so that no one dares to offend his dignity?” 　 　 Huo Siyu and Lin Zimu thought of the same thing, but clearly, both Lin Zimu and Huo Siyu felt that it was impossible. However, Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything. It was possible. If that was the case, what was the other party’s purpose? Besides, she also thought of something else that even Huo Siyu did not expect. However, it was only her guess. There was no evidence to prove it for the time being. “Beauty Yu, do you want to go to the capital to take a look?” Yan Jinyu looked at her. Huo Siyu smiled. “Beauty Yu, don’t worry. I can deal with that scumbag Huo Sisi alone. I called you to South City because I thought you were bored and wanted you to join in the fun. Besides, we’ve almost finished torturing her. We’re just waiting to watch the show.” Yan Jinyu glanced at her and said, “Alright, I’ll go to the capital first.” “I’ll send you to the airport.” They stood up and walked out of the internet cafe. Just as the two of them stood up, Yan Jinyu’s phone rang again. This time, it was Min Rufeng. “Feng.” “Little Yu, among those people whose computer skills are above yours, who do you think was the one?” Obviously, Min Rufeng had also been handling this matter in front of the computer just like them. Not for Yin Jiujin, but for Yan Jinyu. Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks. “Ghost Slaughter, Hei Yao and… Bai Ye.” “But these people are all dead,” Yan Jinyu said without any emotions. Huo Siyu, who was at the side, didn’t hear what Min Rufeng said on the phone. However, after hearing Yan Jinyu’s reply, she roughly guessed the contents of their conversation. She was a little shocked. Beauty Yu’s expression was calm. She couldn’t tell what Beauty Yu was thinking at all. When Min Rufeng heard her words, he was silent for a long time before saying, “You don’t have to think too much about it for now. If it’s really one of the three people, based on the current situation, we still can’t see his intentions yet. Let’s wait first.” “Little Yu, with your intelligence, you should have thought that if the other party wants to target us or you, they definitely won’t be stupid enough to attack Yin Jiujin. This won’t do them any good.” “If this matter continues, not only will it not affect you at all, but it won’t affect Yin Jiujin eithera?| It should be said that with Yin Jiujin’s usual style of doing things, his reputation will only grow after this matter.” 　 　 “From the looks of it, they don’t seem to be targeting Yin Jiujin and you. They seem to be helping you.” Yan Jinyu didn’t deny it. If Yin Jiujin used harsh methods to make his reputation even more resounding in the capital, it would only be more beneficial to her. In the future, because they would be even more afraid of Yin Jiujin when she arrived in the capital, even if she was only the “daughter of a small family who grew up in the countryside without any backing”, no one would easily dare to look for her trouble. “Feng, I have a guess about this.” “What guess?” Yan Jinyu was about to say something when another voice came from the phone. It was Xi Fengling. She said, “I just received news that the Lingering Garden is on fire.” Lingering Garden, which was Yin Jiujin’s grandmother’s asset, was now in Yin Jiujin’s hands. It was something Yin Jiujin cared about. Meanwhile, Yu Qingwan was in the Lingering Garden, whom she and Yin Jiujin suspected. Xi Fengling continued, “It’s normal for an old building like the Lingering Garden to catch fire. However, isn’t this too much of a coincidence? It didn’t catch fire before or after, but as soon as Second Young Master Yin got off the plane. The news of the accident in the Empire Building was so big previously. I keep feeling that someone is deliberately making a big deal out of it just to lure Second Young Master Yin back to the capital.” “You’re not the only one who feels that way,” Yan Jinyu said. “Meimei, help me keep an eye on the situation in the Lingering Garden, especially Yu Qingwan. If she does anything abnormal, there’s no need to hold back. Just settle it directly.” “I’ll set off from South City to the capital now.” Xi Fengling misunderstood her. “Yu Qingwan? Beauty Yu, didn’t I tell you before that she doesn’t have that kind of relationship with Second Young Master Yina?|” “That’s not it. She’s very likely related to Ghost Slaughter Island.” *** Chapter 195: Unwavering Trust 　 Considering that Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling wanted to settle the Min Family’s matter, Yan Jinyu hadn’t told them about it before. Of course, she didn’t tell Huo Siyu either. The reason was simple. She did not want to disturb Huo Siyu’s peace with such an uncertain matter. Besides, the Huo Family still had a restless Huo Sisi that Huo Siyu needed to settle. “What?!” The three of them were shocked after hearing her words. “Beauty Yu, why didn’t you tell us about this earlier?” Huo Siyu asked. 　 　 “It’s just a guess. I’m not sure yet. I wanted to tell you after I confirmed it. Let’s not talk about this first. There are more important things to do now.” Hearing this, Xi Fengling suppressed the shock in her heart. “Alright, I’ll keep an eye on her.” After hanging up, Yan Jinyu called Yin Jiujin while getting into the car with Huo Siyu. Huo Siyu drove her to the airport personally. The call was picked up very quickly. “Brother Nine, are you going to the Lingering Garden now?” Yin Jiujin, who answered the call, wasn’t surprised that she knew. “Yes, I’m already here.” “Alright, Brother Nine, be careful.” With Yin Jiujin’s brain, Yan Jinyu wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t understand what she meant. They could tell that it was too much of a coincidence that the Empire Group had an accident and Lingering Garden was on fire. Yin Jiujin naturally could too. She was reminding him to be careful of Yu Qingwan. “There’s no need to worry, and there’s no need to specially rush to the capital. I’ll look for you after I’m done. You can continue to play in South City first.” Yin Jiujin guessed that Yan Jinyu would go over. “I can roughly guess who’s behind this.” Yan Jinyu paused, “Did they do it to target Brother Nine?” “Mm-hm.” When he answered, Yin Jiujin’s gaze paused slightly. If Yan Jinyu was beside him, she would definitely notice something amiss. Unfortunately, she wasn’t around. 　 　 “Don’t worry. If anyone could hurt me, I wouldn’t be alive now.” “I can pick you up in South City in three days at most.” “Be good and stay in South City.” “Mm-hm,” Yan Jinyu replied before Yin Jiujin hung up. Huo Siyu did not hear their conversation, but now was not the time to ask. “Beauty Yu, are we still going to the capital?” She didn’t hear it clearly, but she could still guess from Yan Jinyu’s words. Yan Jinyu looked up at her and chuckled, “Of course I’m going.” *** The car headed straight for the South City airport. Just as they were about to reach the airport, Yan Jinyu’s phone vibrated. The car was very quiet. Huo Siyu, who was beside her, heard the vibration and stared at the phone in Yan Jinyu’s hand. Yan Jinyu unlocked her phone. The smile on her lips deepened when she saw the content. “Beauty Yu, this…” There were three photos. In the photo, there was a very gentle-looking woman. The woman was very beautiful. She was a standard beauty. 　 　 She was wiping her tears with a handkerchief and crying pitifully. She looked very pitiful. This wasn’t the most important thing. Most importantly, the person beside her was Yin Jiujin. Of course, there were others other than Yin Jiujin. However, anyone who saw this photo could tell that her crying was directed at Yin Jiujin. Of course, there were others present beside Yin Jiujin. However, anyone who saw this photo could tell that her crying was directed at Yin Jiujin. She was in the process of throwing herself into his arms. She was only in the process. The photo didn’t capture Yin Jiujin’s expression. “Beauty Yu, who is this woman?” “If I’m not wrong, it should be Yu Qingwan.” Yan Jinyu smiled. “It suits her name very well. She looks gentle and even I find her pitiful.” “Let’s go back. There’s no need to go to the capital.” Seeing her smile, Huo Siyu was a little frightened. “…B-Beauty Yu, are you angry with Second Young Master Yin? It’s just a few photos. Besides, they didn’t take any photos of her in Second Young Master Yin’s arms. Why don’t you call Second Young Master Yin and ask him what’s going on?” “There’s no need to. Call Meimei and tell her that there’s no need to keep an eye on the Lingering Garden.” Was she really angry?! Huo Siyu carefully observed her expression. “Beauty Yu, this… Beauty Yu, you’re so smart. One look and I can tell that this photo was sent by someone with ulterior motives who was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between you and Second Young Master Yin. You believed it without any clarifications?” Yan Jinyu looked at her and smiled. “Little Rain, if you can tell that the other party is trying to drive a wedge between Brother Nine and me, how can I not tell?” 　 　 She had interacted with Yin Jiujin for so long. She knew better than anyone when Yin Jiujin was happy, when Yin Jiujin was annoyed, and when Yin Jiujin was furious. Even if the photo didn’t capture Yin Jiujin’s expression, she could tell from the half of his face that he must have looked so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Reaching out to catch Yu Qingwan? She dared to say that Yin Jiujin definitely wasn’t reaching out to pick her up. He was pushing her away. The other party probably didn’t know that she and Yin Jiujin had already made things clear about Yu Qingwan. They also didn’t know how much trust she and Yin Jiujin had for each other. Of course, the other party didn’t know that Liu Junqing, who had almost assassinated Yin Jiujin, had died at her hands. Before she saw these photos, she would still be a little worried. However, after seeing these photos, she was completely relieved. The other party’s goal was only to drive a wedge between her and Yin Jiujin. In other words, Yin Jiujin wouldn’t be in danger for the time being. Then, why should she rush to the capital? “If Ghost Slaughter’s people are really behind this matter, then they’re probably afraid that I have Yin Jiujin by my side and want to drive a wedge between us.” Yan Jinyu smiled. “After all, even the Ghost Slaughter in the past would be very afraid of Yin Jiujin and me joining forces. Moreover, if any of them are lucky enough to survive till now, they’re only bedraggled soldiers.” “But Beauty Yu, isn’t this kind of discord too low-class? What can a few photos prove? Furthermore, these photos were obviously sent to you by someone with ulterior motives. Could it be that in their eyes, your intelligence isn’t enough to see through their plans?” “The other party probably just wants to plant the seeds of doubt in my heart.” “Little Rain, have you forgotten who we are?” “People like us who have been on the brink of death countless times have to be vigilant even when we sleep. We don’t know when we will be assassinated by others. People like us don’t easily trust anyone. The other would have achieved their goal when a seed of doubt is buried in our hearts.” “In other words, if I don’t trust Yin Jiujin completely now, their goal will have been achieved.” Huo Siyu was speechless. That was indeed the case. Beauty Yu wasn’t someone who would compromise. If she really suspected Yin Jiujin, she would definitely ask him directly. In the eyes of outsiders, Yin Jiujin definitely wasn’t someone who would tolerate women questioning him. This way, it might drive a wedge between the two of them. “But Beauty Yu, do you trust Second Young Master Yin that much?” Yan Jinyu smiled quietly. However, Huo Siyu understood what she meant. She changed the topic. “In that case, Yu Qingwan might really be related to Ghost Slaughter.” “That might not be the case.” Yan Jinyu smiled. “Perhaps Yu Qingwan has feelings for Yin Jiujin and specially designed this to make me misunderstand.” Huo Siyu rolled her eyes. Yan Jinyu chuckled, “I mean, that’s possible too.” “After all, my initial guess was that there were actually two groups of people behind this matter.” Under Huo Siyu’s surprised gaze, Yan Jinyu said, “A group of people deliberately lured Yin Jiujin to the capital.” 　 　 “Although Yin Jiujin cares about the Lingering Garden, the fire in the Lingering Garden isn’t enough for him to specially rush back to the capital. Furthermore, only a room was burned, and the fire was controlled very quickly.” “This group of people led Yin Jiujin to the capital to make him appear in the Lingering Garden to sow discord between Yin Jiujin and me.” “The other group is helping Yin Jiujin.” “Then, who is helping Second Young Master Yin? Why would they help him? Could it be that Second Young Master Yin has been too low-profile all these years and they want to create an opportunity for Second Young Master Yin to intimidate others? To make others fear Second Young Master Yin even more?” “But why?” Yan Jinyu’s eyes darkened slightly. She actually wanted to know the reason too. “No matter what, at least for now, they aren’t enemies.” Yin Jiujin might know who the other party was. “That’s still a smart person. They’re using someone else’s power to achieve their goal to the greatest extent.” Since they were helping Yin Jiujin, the incident in the Empire Building definitely had nothing to do with this group of people. Or rather, it had nothing to do with this person. Didn’t this person cause such a huge commotion to achieve his goal to the greatest extent? “What about now? Where are we going?” Huo Siyu asked. “Let’s walk around.” *** In the capital, the Lingering Garden. As soon as Yin Jiujin arrived at the burning room, Yu Qingwan walked in front of him. At first, she simply told him about the current situation, but as she spoke, she started crying. Her general meaning was that if the Lingering Garden was gone, she would be homeless. Fortunately, the fire was controlled in time. Yin Jiujin felt frustrated listening to her. However, the fire wasn’t completely under control. It was fine if he did not come. Since he was here, he naturally could not turn around and leave immediately. Just as he was about to ask Yu Qingwan not to run to him and cry, Yu Qingwan jumped into his arms… After being taught a lesson once, Yin Jiujin’s reaction was especially fast. He first raised his hands in an attempt to push her away. However, he felt that it was disgusting to touch her, so he raised his leg and kicked her away. The commotion was not small, and everyone nearby was frightened. Yin Jiujin’s face was severe and his eyes were dark. Without saying anything else, he instructed Lin Zimu, “Cripple one of her hands and throw her out of the Lingering Garden.”
