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.”
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.
