Chapter 235-236

Chapter 235: Direct Attack 　 “Master Nine, Miss Yu.” The moment Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin entered the interrogation room, the person in charge of guarding them greeted them respectfully. Yan Jinyu asked, “Where are they?” “They’re all inside. Master Nine and Miss Yu, this way please.” The interrogation room was neither big nor small. From the outside, this small building was no different from other small residential buildings. However, after entering the small building, there was a staircase that led to the basement. The interrogation room was in the basement. It was damp and cold. The lights in the passageway were very dim. Occasionally, two lights would flash, and the timid people did not dare to enter. However, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin’s expressions didn’t change at all. It was as if they were strolling in the courtyard. 　 　 “Here.” As he spoke, he opened the iron door and retreated to the side. At this moment, a person walked out from the side. It was the person in charge of the capital’s Empire Mall. The person he had captured naturally had to wait for Yan Jinyu to do the interrogation, so he had been guarding here. “Master Nine, Miss Yu.” The two of them nodded. “Are they all here?” “Yes, Miss Yu. Other than the five people you subdued, we also arrested three others. They’re all in it together.” “Mm-hm.” Yan Jinyu nodded. She didn’t care if the three people they found were collaborators discovered by the surveillance cameras or found out through interrogation of the others. There shouldn’t be anyone who slipped through the net when Yin Jiujin’s subordinates did their jobs. Even if there were, those people must have hidden very deeply. A few people were enough to ask who the mastermind was. “I’ll go in and take a look.” He walked into the iron cell. Yin Jiujin followed. The other two followed too. There were a total of eight people. All of them had their hands and feet tied, and their mouths were covered with black tape. Seeing the few of them enter, those people knelt down and begged for mercy with fear in their eyes. 　 　 They were brought in blindfolded. They didn’t know where this was at all, but they were sure that this was Master Nine’s place. How many people had fallen under Master Nine? They probably wouldn’t survive this time! How many were not afraid of death? Furthermore, most of these people were hired by Qin Bailu. They had done many bad things, but they were not people who had seen the world. Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything. She glanced at these people who tried to crawl over and plead for mercy. “If you want to die now, just continue to make a din.” His faint tone frightened them into silence. No one dared to move again. They had seen Yan Jinyu’s skills before. They were afraid that she would kill them in a fit of anger. Seeing that they were obedient, Yan Jinyu turned back and said to Yin Jiujin, “Brother Nine, just watch from the side. I’ll handle it.” Yin Jiujin nodded. “Alright.” They were just a few small fries. He didn’t intend to interfere. Most importantly, these people were here for the young lady. If he were to interrogate them, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and cripple them all. The person beside him brought a chair over, and Yin Jiujin sat by the side and watched. 　 　 When Yan Jinyu’s gaze landed on those people again, it wasn’t as bright, innocent, and harmless as when she looked at Yin Jiujin. There was no smile on her face. Although her expression wasn’t very cold, when her gaze landed on them, these people inexplicably felt their scalps tingle. Yan Jinyu didn’t step forward again. She just casually raised her left hand and something flew out. The tape on one of them was gone. Her actions were so fast that Yin Jiujin almost didn’t see her clearly. Looking at the “watch” on her left wrist, he suddenly recalled that on the day they first met, the young lady had lied to him that she had bought this second-hand watch for 10 dollars. At that time, he actually believed her. He chuckled inwardly. “Who sent you?” Yan Jinyu asked directly. “You don’t have to say anything. There are so many people here. I can interrogate them even without one of you.” That person had a look of fear on his face when Yan Jinyu removed the tape covering his mouth. When he heard her words now, he was so frightened that his entire body trembled. “Miss, please spare me! Miss, please spare me! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” “Y-yes, it’s Second Miss Qin! Second Miss Qin asked us to create chaos and attack Miss during the chaos. We did it for money. Please forgive us…” Before he could finish speaking, his voice broke. Yan Jinyu had simply raised her hand and cut off the other party’s breathing. Without any warning! The others were so frightened that they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. They lowered their heads and didn’t dare to raise them at all. Yan Jinyu glanced over, “You still want to play tricks in front of me. You’re quite bold.” “This is the outcome of not telling the truth. Next.” 　 　 Those who could be bought to kill more or less had some judgment. It was Yan Jinyu’s first time making a move. They were too frightened and didn’t see clearly. Now that the person had died at her hands, the others saw her make the move. Or rather, they saw the bloodstain on the neck of the person who had died on the spot. At that moment, they were shocked and terrified. They had never seen it before, but they had heard that the weapon of the number one killer, “Chi”, was two meters long and thin as a hair. Whenever “Chi” killed someone, there would definitely be a bloody line on their throat. It was a bloody scar that no one could imitate because the Chi’s weapon was made of special materials. It could kill a person in one strike. No matter how long a person died, the bloody scar would not bleed profusely. Furthermore, when Chi killed someone, the wound would always be at the throat. It was about 10 centimeters long. The person in front of them was very likely the number one killer, Chi, who had been famous for many years. How could they not be shocked and terrified? That was a God of Slaughter whose hands were stained with countless lives! The person who had the tape on his mouth torn away was the one who wanted to stab Yan Jinyu with a dagger at the Empire Mall back then. His pupils constricted and his face turned pale. He was frightened. “Y-you…” “Whose man are you?” “I… I’m not anyone’s person. I’m just someone who takes money to do things for people. This time, Second Miss Qin found me and made me and my brothers create chaos in the mall. We will use the chaos to knock you down the stairs… I failed to recognize you. Please be magnanimous…” Yan Jinyu glanced over, and that person immediately broke out in cold sweat. He recalled how that person died in an instant and hurriedly said, “We did accept Second Miss Qin’s money, but other than Second Miss Qin, someone also gave us a sum of money to make sure that you couldn’t live. That’s why we thought of using a knife…” “You’re quite bold to use a knife in the Empire Mall.” That person didn’t dare to answer Yan Jinyu’s words. He kept his head lowered, and his body trembled as he broke out in cold sweat. The other party had given them a lot of money, so they wanted to take a gamble. Most importantly, they didn’t know her identity and had only seen the photos Qin Bailu had provided. It was a very old-fashioned photo. He didn’t even think of her as Master Nine’s fiancée, whom he couldn’t provoke in the capital. “So, who gave you the other sum of money?” “I-I don’t know…” “You don’t know?” The moment Yan Jinyu spoke, that person rolled his eyes and fainted from shock. “…” Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had restrained her killing intent and didn’t let it out. Was she that scary? 　 　 She instinctively looked at Yin Jiujin. Yin Jiujin smiled at her before she retracted her gaze. Yin Jiujin saw that her expression didn’t change, so she shouldn’t have been too terrifying-looking just now. He was so easily frightened and yet he still dared to attack her. With a wave of her hand, the tape covering everyone’s mouths was gone. They wanted to beg for mercy, but they didn’t dare to. It was all fear. Especially the person who had fired a gun at Qin Jianjia. “You all don’t know who it is either?” “No, I don’t know… The other party’s number is dead when we call again. We can’t find the source of the money the other party sent us either. Please spare us this time. If we knew that it was you, we definitely wouldn’t dare to look for trouble with you…” “Do you mean that if it were someone else, you would still find trouble with them? Oh, I can understand why you’re doing this. After all, I had taken money to help people to resolve their problems. That’s what I used to do. However, I can’t care if you go for others, but you have to offend me.” “That’s unforgivable.” “Since I can’t find out anything, there’s no use keeping you guys around.” There were panicked pleas for mercy. Yan Jinyu ignored them and raised her hand to attack, but Yin Jiujin stopped her. “Little Yu’er.” Her hand paused. Yin Jiujin stood up and walked towards her. He held her left hand in his palm. “Someone will deal with them.” In the past, the young lady killed people because she had no one to rely on and had no choice. Now that he was around, he wouldn’t let her continue doing it personally. Forget about that person just now. He didn’t expect the young lady to be so ruthless and kill him directly. Now, he would not let the young lady make a move again. Clearly, she did not like to kill people at all. She was even a little against it. If anyone had told him in the past that the number one killer, “Chi”, hated killing, he wouldn’t have believed it. Only after he saw with his own eyes did her expression change slightly after her attack. After spending so much time together, he knew her quite well. Yan Jinyu looked at him and blinked. She suddenly smiled. “Alright.” Ever since she got together with Yin Jiujin, her situation had improved a lot. Not only did she not feel frustrated every now and then, but she also didn’t need to drink a lot of yogurt to suppress her frustration like before. After seeing blood, she wouldn’t feel so disgusted as before, but she would still feel a little uncomfortable. She clearly didn’t show it, but Yin Jiujin still realized it. As expected of Yin Jiujin. She had never thought of asking anything useful from these people either. She just wanted to confirm her guess. Obviously, she was right. Qin Bailu wasn’t the only one who did this. There were also records of phone contacts and remittances. Although these people said that the number was dead and the remittances could not be found, it did not mean that she could not find anything. “Then, Brother Nine, I won’t care about these people.” She pointed at the person holding the gun and instructed the person behind her, “Bring this person out alone.” As she spoke, she held Yin Jiujin’s hand and led him out of the iron cell. “Yes, Miss Yu.” The group of people who had survived collapsed to the ground and heaved a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, their hearts sank to the bottom because Yin Jiujin turned around and glanced at them. “Crippled all of them and threw them to the Qin Family.” There were pleas for mercy again, but no one cared. In another iron cell. Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin each sat on a chair and looked down at the person who had been brought out alone. Yan Jinyu smiled slightly and asked, “What about you? Whose man are you?” *** Chapter 236: Do Whatever She Wants 　 Although this person was also filled with fear, compared to those few people, he was a little braver. At least, he was not so frightened that he fainted. “I-I didn’t know it was you. Sorry for offending you.” These words were said to Yan Jinyu with a very respectful attitude. Usually, there was only one type of person who was afraid and respectful of Yan Jinyu, and that was… killers. “Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?” 　 　 That person was shocked. He was afraid that Yan Jinyu would raise her hand and take his life. He hurriedly said, “I really don’t know!” “If I knew that it was you, how would I dare to overestimate myself and make a move in front of you? I’ve accepted a mission. The target of the mission is the eldest young madam of the Yin Family. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate. This mission is indeed on the website’s mission board.” Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled faintly, “Assassinate the eldest young madam of the Yin Family in the Second Young Master’s territory? As a killer, are you that stupid?” When killers carried out missions, they would always think of a way out. Usually, they would not choose a place where they could not escape after making a move. If he couldn’t complete the mission this time, there would be a next time. There was no need to lose his life for a mission. Hence, Yan Jinyu didn’t believe a word that this person said. “Are you thinking that since I’ve retired, I might’ve forgotten how killers usually do things?” “I wouldn’t dare!” the person quickly said. His hands that were tied behind his back were clasped tightly. This was a sign of extreme nervousness. “I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the website to check the mission records.” Yan Jinyu glanced at him. “Missions can be released as long as one knows how. Can’t your own people post it to confuse others?” Without giving the person a chance to speak, Yan Jinyu continued, “Just take it that what you said is true. Tell me now, who issued the mission?” 　 　 “It’s the Second Missy of the Qin Family, Qin Bailu.” “Qin Bailu?” Yan Jinyu’s question was very ambiguous. “Yes! It’s the Second Missy of the Qin Family, Qin Bailu. You can investigate it. There are records on the mission board. You can easily find them. As for why Qin Bailu wants to kill the eldest young madam of the Yin Family, I don’t know. You know that us killers only care about accepting missions and don’t care about other people’s grudges.” “Alright, just treat it as a mission Qin Bailu issued. Then, tell me, why did you choose to attack in the Empire Mall? Are you so confident that you could retreat from the Yin Family’s Second Young Master’s territory? If that’s the case, even I have to admire you. I don’t even have the confidence to do so.” Yin Jiujin raised his eyebrows when he heard that. It seemed like the young lady acknowledged his ability. It felt good to be thought so highly of by the number one killer. In actuality, if this number one killer wasn’t Yan Jinyu, how could he feel good because he was thought highly of? Yin Jiujin kept looking at Yan Jinyu. How could she not sense the change in his gaze? She turned to look at him and grinned at him. “Brother Nine, I’ve always been quite wary of you.” The corners of Yin Jiujin’s lips curled up slightly. “Is that so? Why can’t I tell?” She was about to ride on top of his head and behave atrociously. Was she still wary of him? 　 　 “That’s because I didn’t show it. To be honest, Brother Nine, I really don’t have a chance of winning if you’re my enemy.” It was strange. She could even destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, but she wasn’t confident that she could defeat Yin Jiujin. They had clearly never fought before, so why did she have such a feeling? It was fine if she had such a feeling now. After all, Yin Jiujin was someone she wanted to protect. There was no need for her to compete with him for victory or defeat, but what about in the past? In the past, Yin Jiujin didn’t hold much weight in her heart. It could only be said that Yin Jiujin was really formidable. She didn’t have the confidence to win even when she hadn’t gone against him. “That might not be the case,” Yin Jiujin said. This was a girl who could even deceive him. If she was really an enemy, he might not be able to beat her. The young lady looked too harmless most of the time. Yes, she even looked very pitiful. Even though she didn’t deliberately fake that. It was precisely because she did not pretend that she could deceive him. Yan Jinyu’s eyes lit up. “Brother Nine, so you finally admit that I’m very formidable?” “…” Yin Jiujin. Her thoughts were so jumpy. She was still interrogating someone when the topic jumped so quickly. She didn’t look calm or look like the number one killer at all. “Let’s interrogate him first.” “Oh, right. I’m still interrogating someone.” It wasn’t that she wasn’t calm enough, but Yan Jinyu actually didn’t take this killer seriously. At least, compared to Yin Jiujin, this killer didn’t have any importance at all. If Yan Jinyu wasn’t calm enough, how could she possibly endure and plan for so many years to destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, which was at its peak? How could the other three listen to her on important matters? 　 　 Xi Fengling, Min Rufeng, and Huo Siyu were independent people. Yan Jinyu’s gaze finally returned to the killer. The killer felt rather complicated. Although he was panicking, he could not help but be shocked. It turned out that the two people who were feared outside were actually like this in private. “I don’t dare to. I know my limits. The reason why I chose to make a move in the Empire Mall was because I had been following Eldest Young Madam Yin to find an opportunity to make a move. Coincidentally, I happened to encounter someone looking for trouble in the mall, so I took advantage of the chaos to make a move. It was such a chaotic occasion. It was very easy for me to get away at that time.” He looked at Yan Jinyu. “The premise is that you’re not present.” “On the account that we’re in the same line, I’ll give you another chance,” Yan Jinyu said. Same line? How many peers had died at her hands? She said that entirely because she hoped that this person would be sensible and say more so that she could save some effort. “I-I’m telling the truth. This is really the case. If you don’t believe me, you can get Second Miss Qin to confront me.” “Confrontation?” Yan Jinyu chuckled. “Do I look like the kind of person who is very patient?” “Since you don’t want the chance I gave you, don’t blame me.” As she spoke, she raised her left hand. The man looked frightened. “I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Yan Jinyu sneered, “It’s too late.” With a wave of her hand, that man died with remaining grievances. Yin Jiujin didn’t stop her this time. He didn’t expect her to do this. He didn’t expect her to really kill him and he didn’t have the time to stop her. In such a situation, the normal thing to do was to keep him alive first. Whether it was a confrontation or an interrogation, they would always get the answers they wanted. But she killed him right away. Even Yin Jiujin sighed. Everyone said that he did things as he pleased, but why did he feel that the young lady was, in fact, the one who did things as she pleased? Yan Jinyu tidied her clothes and stood up. “Let’s go, Brother Nine.” Yin Jiujin glanced at her and stood up as well. He walked over and held her hand. “Why did you kill her? You could have gotten the answer after asking for a while longer.” 　 　 “I’ve given him a chance, but he didn’t say it.” She smiled at Yin Jiujin. “I rarely give others a chance. It’s just that he doesn’t know how to grasp it.” Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat. Did this mean that if he didn’t explain in time when the young lady misunderstood that he was related to Yu Qingwan at Mount Jing that day, she wouldn’t have given him another chance? He was glad that he had explained it in time. Seeing that he was staring at her with a complicated expression, Yan Jinyu asked curiously, “Brother Nine, why are you staring at me?” “…You killed him just like that. Don’t you want to know who’s behind this?” “It doesn’t matter. We’re all enemies anyway. We’ll kill whoever comes.” “Besides, even if I know who it is, I still have to investigate the other party’s whereabouts. How much effort would I have to put in? If they really want to kill me, they will come again after failing once. I’ll wait for them to send themselves to me first.” “You…” Yin Jiujin was momentarily speechless. “You’re not right. This is undoubtedly putting yourself in danger. If you have enemies, you should find them and kill them all.” Yan Jinyu blinked. “But Brother Nine, I have too many enemies. I can’t kill them all.” “…” Yin Jiujin. Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh. She let go of his hand and held his arm. “Alright, Brother Nine, don’t worry. I haven’t met anyone who can kill me yet. I’ll be fine. Just take it that I’m bored and waiting for someone to come looking for fun.” Yin Jiujin suddenly stopped and looked at her. “Little Yu’er, do you know who sent them?” Yan Jinyu sighed inwardly and said helplessly, “Brother Nine, why can’t I hide anything from you? I clearly didn’t say anything or show it.” She sighed again. “That’s why I’m afraid of you.” “You’re not going to tell me?” “I was. After all, I was only guessing and wasn’t completely confident. If I told you, it would make you worry. It’s better not to say it. However, since you can tell, I naturally have to tell you. However, there’s no hurry now.” “?” Yin Jiujin was puzzled. The next second, Yan Jinyu’s eyes curved into crescents. She smiled and jumped up to hug his neck. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. She could barely tolerate killing one person, but she really could not tolerate it after killing two people. The weapons that she had meticulously made were meant not to get stained with blood, and the people who died under her weapons would not bleed much. However, she would smell a strong bloody scent. She didn’t vomit until she was dizzy because she had killed too many people and got used to it. However, the disgusting scent of blood still affected her. The two of them had already walked out of the iron cell and were standing in the corridor. When she kissed him, Yin Jiujin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood. He had already seen her abnormality when she killed the first person, so he stopped her from attacking again. She clearly didn’t like it, but her actions were fast, ruthless, and accurate. She didn’t even blink when she killed someone. Yin Jiujin was a little helpless, but his heart ached more than his helplessness. She didn’t like to kill people, but she was already used to killing people. She almost always killed her enemies directly to prevent future trouble. This was probably related to her experiences on Ghost Slaughter Island. He wrapped his arms around her and lowered his head to hers. He did not fight for the initiative and let her be. Even if Yan Jinyu had always been the one in charge, this kiss still lasted for a long time. This was the aftereffect of Yan Jinyu killing someone. It was just like how every time she killed someone in the past, she had to drink a lot of yogurt to suppress the nausea. The two people following them had already turned their backs away when Yan Jinyu jumped up and kissed Yin Jiujin. They weren’t too shocked. After all, after seeing Yan Jinyu’s carefree style with their own eyes, their shock had reached its peak. After a long while, the kiss ended. Yan Jinyu hugged Yin Jiujin’s waist with both hands and leaned in his arms. She looked up at him with a bright smile on her face. “Brother Nine.” Yin Jiujin looked down at her with an indulgent gaze. “Yes?”
