Chapter 237: A Slap In The Lingering Garden

“I think it’s especially good to have you around.”

Actually, she wanted to say that it was especially convenient. She didn’t even need to drink yogurt to quickly wash away the nausea. However, after thinking about it, she didn’t say it because she felt that Yin Jiujin would definitely be unhappy if she said it.

Yin Jiujin chuckled and raised his hand to scratch the tip of her nose. “It’s good that you know. So, stay by my side obediently.”

“Haven’t I always been by Brother Nine’s side?”

“Now that you’ve said it nicely, but you’re going to abandon me for someone else tomorrow.”

“…” Yan Jinyu. She had indeed arranged to go to the Imperial Capital Hospital with Feng and the rest tomorrow. Little Rain wanted to bring Huo Xuan to see a doctor.

She didn’t expect Yin Jiujin to remember it even though he didn’t say it.

She rolled her eyes. “Brother Nine, why are you so petty? I’m just going to the Imperial Capital Hospital. It’s not like I won’t be coming back.”

Yin Jiujin looked at her but didn’t say a word.

Yan Jinyu felt helpless. “Does Brother Nine want to follow us?”

Of course. Huo Xuan was still thinking about his girl, so he naturally wanted to follow her.

However, Yan Jinyu didn’t give him a chance to speak.

“That won’t do,” Yan Jinyu said.

“Brother Nine, you’re famous in the capital. With you around, I’m sure many people will be alarmed if you make a trip to the Imperial Capital Hospital.”

“Besides, you and Huo Xuan are competitors in business. Huo Xuan just seeked trouble with you not long ago. It doesn’t matter how you interact with him in private. You can’t show people that you’re still accompanying him when he goes to see a doctor outside. If word gets out, others will think that your dignity could be violated. After all, you’re even so tolerant of Huo Xuan, who came to find trouble with you.”

She was clearly not someone who liked to waste her effort. She could not even be bothered to investigate her enemy, but she even cared about such a small matter for him.

This young lady was really…

Why was she so lovable?

He was going to accompany her, not Huo Xuan.

Even if they really accompanied Huo Xuan to the hospital, who would dare to say anything? Violate his dignity? How many people had the guts to do that?

However, since the young lady was so considerate of him, he naturally couldn’t let her efforts go to waste.

“I’ll come back myself after I’m done,” Yan Jinyu said again.

She would come back herself…

Yin Jiu liked this way of saying.

“Yes.” He hugged her tightly for a while before saying, “Continue the topic that didn’t end just now.”

Taking her hand, he said, “The air here is bad. Let’s talk as we walk.”

Yan Jinyu nodded. Although she had stayed in worse environments on Ghost Slaughter Island, since the conditions allowed it now, why should she let herself suffer again?

“Actually, it’s very simple. It’s true that I have many enemies, but not many people know that I’m ‘Chi’. That killer clearly came for me and not to kill Sister-in-law on Qin Bailu’s instructions like he said.”

Compared to killing Qin Jianjia, Qin Bailu wanted to kill her more.

“He came to kill me but he attacked Sister-in-law beside me first. Naturally, it was to divert my attention so that he had the chance to attack again.” However, the other party had clearly underestimated her. Even if he knew her identity, he had also underestimated her ability.

“And the only people who know my identity and want to kill me now are the remaining members of the Ghost Slaughter. I just don’t understand who in the Ghost Slaughter is actually so naive to think that they can kill me just by sending a small fry over.”

Yan Jinyu was certain that if Ghost Slaughter or the people she remembered were still around, they definitely wouldn’t be so naive.

***

At the same time, someone was slapped hard in a room in a courtyard.

“Idiot!”

It was already dark outside and the lights in the room were not switched on. One could not see their faces clearly. One could only vaguely see that the person who slapped was a man and the person who was slapped was a woman.

“If that person is so easy to kill, do we need to spend so much effort to plan? We lost a man and alerted the enemy! Don’t you know how difficult it is to nurture a barely usable person without Ghost Slaughter Island?”

“From now on, you’re disqualified from mobilizing people!”

“No! You’re not qualified to make such a decision! You’re just a dog under my father. What right do you have to make such a decision…”

The woman’s voice was stuck in her throat when the cold gun was pointed at her forehead.

“Do you believe that I have the right to kill you?”

The woman was so frightened that her legs went limp. “I-I’m sorry. I was wrong this time. I promise there won’t be a next time. I promise!” action

The man slowly retracted his gun. “Be smart. Don’t act on your own again. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as a slap.”

“Stay in the Lingering Garden obediently in the future. They’ve already suspected you. Don’t do anything that’s easily exposed again. If I didn’t interfere this time, they would’ve quickly found out about you. At that time, don’t blame us for not caring about your life!”

In reality, Yan Jinyu had never thought of investigating in detail.

“I was indeed wrong this time, but I’m really angry. What basis does Yan Jinyu have…”

“On what basis? On the basis that she entered Ghost Slaughter Island when she was two years old and not only did she survive the killing, but she also became famous at the age of 10. Even Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed in her hands.”

“Don’t overestimate yourself. You’re far inferior to her.”

“Why are you still speaking up for her?! She’s our enemy! Not only did she snatch the man I like, but she also destroyed Father’s efforts. You and Father almost died in her hands!”

“So what?” The man paused and looked at her. “Steal your man? When did Yin Jiujin become your man?”

The woman realized that she had said something wrong.

“Yu Qingwan, don’t forget your identity. Don’t try to escape from Ghost Slaughter Island either. Otherwise, you’ll die very miserably. Liu Junqing asked you to stay here. After Liu Junqing died, we continued to keep you here to monitor Yin Jiujin. It isn’t to give you a chance to escape from Ghost Slaughter Island through him.”

“Did you really think that you were allowed to seduce Yin Jiujin just because you received an order to get close to him and sow discord between the two of them?”

“Of course, if you really have the ability to make Yin Jiujin protect you wholeheartedly, that’s also your power. Unfortunately, after so many years, not only did you fail to take him down, but you even landed yourself in such a situation. You actually want to compete with Chi.”

“Hei Yao, if you speak up for Yan Jinyu like this, those who don’t know might think that you’re on her side! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Father?”

“Just go ahead. Let’s see if he trusts you or me.”

Yu Qingwan choked.

“Don’t be stupid. As someone who almost died at the hands of Chi, I want to kill her more than you.”

“If there’s a next time, you know the consequences. You’ve already lost your value now. Whether you’re alive or dead, it won’t affect us much.”

“Y-you… If you really dare to harm me, Father won’t let you off!”

The man looked at her and said mockingly, “You’re so naive. It seems like you’ve been getting stupider after living in the outside world all these years.”

“Don’t you know who you’re still relying on now? Do you really think that’s your father just because you call him father? That’s Liu Junqing’s father.”

“Poor Liu Junqing. In order to spend his life with you, he accepted such a dangerous mission and even asked to bring you out of Ghost Slaughter Island together when he accepted the mission. Otherwise, you would probably be a pile of skeletons on Ghost Slaughter Island.”

“If Liu Junqing finds out that the woman he treats wholeheartedly is actually thinking about another man, do you think he’ll jump out of the ground in anger?”

“Oh, he probably knows. Otherwise, with his brain, how could he have chosen to attack Yin Jiujin under such circumstances? Even if he really killed Yin Jiujin, Qin Hao was still present during that mission. He wouldn’t be able to escape after killing Yin Jiujin.”

“Perhaps, he realized your thoughts then and was disheartened?”

Yu Qingwan’s face turned pale. “No! I clearly had feelings for Master Nine after Junqing left! No, no, I’ve never had feelings for Master Nine! Hei Yao, don’t talk nonsense to Father when you go back…”

Hei Yao looked at her like she was an idiot. “Do you think I’m as stupid as you?”

“However, I don’t have the time to care who you have feelings for. Remember, don’t act on your own to ruin our plan. Otherwise…”

Before she could finish speaking, he jumped out of the window.

Although he did not finish speaking, the warning effect was achieved.

Yu Qingwan fell to the ground.

Yan Jinyu! Chi!

Why was Master Nine’s fiancée Chi? If it were anyone else, she could easily kill them, but it had to be the number one killer, Chi!

Hmph! So what if she’s Chi!

She would never let go of the man who could save her from her suffering!

Just wait. One day, she would kill Yan Jinyu!

“It’s also possible that Ghost Slaughter Island sold your information to your other enemies to deal with you. This killer was sent by your other enemies,” Yin Jiujin said.

Yan Jinyu smiled. “It’s possible too.”

“However, Brother Nine, compared to me, Ghost Slaughter Island has more enemies. Now that their strength is much weaker than before, they won’t easily expose their whereabouts. Once they tell others my identity, their whereabouts will also be easily exposed.”

“So, it’s unlikely that other enemies will come to kill me.”

“Alright, Brother Nine, let’s not care about them anymore. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? Let’s go. I’ll eat with you.”

“Didn’t you eat a lot outside? Can you still eat?”

Yan Jinyu chuckled. “I can’t. Didn’t I say that I’ll eat with you? The important thing is to ‘accompany you’ and not to ‘eat’.”

Looking at her smile, Yin Jiujin’s heart suddenly softened.

He pinched her face. “At least you have a conscience.”

“Of course I have a conscience. Brother Nine, you’ll definitely feel uncomfortable if I don’t let you follow me tomorrow. I’ll compensate you after dinner.”

Yin Jiujin stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a faint gaze.

“Compensate?”
