Chapter 219 - Angry and Grateful

Chapter 219: Angry and Grateful

“What?!” Xi Fengling was surprised.

Min Rufeng didn’t say anything, but his surprise could be seen from his expression.

Xi Fengling, who had always been calm and composed, was too shocked to speak. “Isn’t Bai Ye dead? Isn’t your return to North City…”

However, she reacted quickly and quickly stopped talking.

However, who was Yin Jiujin?

He was a person who was so sharp that he could sense someone peeping behind an ordinary wall with the back of his head, and it was even when the other party were trying their best to breathe lightly and hide.

How could he not notice Xi Fengling’s words?

However, Yin Jiujin hid it very well and didn’t show any emotions. Even Yan Jinyu didn’t notice it.

Min Rufeng glanced at Yin Jiujin when Xi Fengling said this. Just as Xi Fengling stopped speaking, he immediately asked, “Where did you meet him?”

“The Yin Family.”

The three faces froze.

This included Min Ting, who had already guessed the identity of “Bai Ye” after hearing their conversation.

The Yin Family?

Who was it?

They all looked at Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu didn’t say it immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Yin Jiujin.

Yin Jiujin wasn’t looking at her, but after sensing her gaze, he said, “My aunt’s son, Feng Yun.”

Feng Yun.

Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling had naturally heard of this person. Didn’t they say that when the eldest daughter of the Yin Family, Yin Xiaoxiao, and her husband passed away, Feng Yun had also died with them?

It was precisely because of this that they didn’t think that Bai Ye was still alive and was living in the Yin Family.

“If there are no accidents, Bai Ye will cooperate with us.”

“Thus, even if there are still people from Ghost Slaughter alive, we are not the only ones who want to take their lives.”

Xi Fengling wanted to ask since Bai Ye was still alive, did he intend to help Yin Jiujin or Beauty Yu when he interfered previously?

However, she felt that there was no need to ask.

It didn’t matter whoever he helped as long as the other party was not an enemy.

“Can you ask him out to meet you?” Min Rufeng asked.

Yan Jinyu fell silent. “Not for now. Maybe after a while.”

Although they were puzzled, the two of them did not ask further.

“Little Rain’s flight will land in the capital in the afternoon.”

“Little Rain is very worried about her brother’s illness so she’s bringing him here to look for Feng.”

She looked at Min Rufeng. “Little Rain said that she’ll come back to the capital today. She’ll settle down and rest for a day tomorrow and go to the Imperial Capital Hospital to look for you the day after tomorrow.”

Min Rufeng understood that this meant that she was temporarily not letting Huo Xuan know about their relationships and identities.

He nodded. “Alright.”

“In that case, since we’re almost done, we’ll make a move first. See you the day after tomorrow.” Yan Jinyu laughed lightly.

“You’re leaving now?”

“Leaving so soon? Aren’t you going to stay for a meal?”

The two of them spoke at the same time. The former was Min Rufeng, while the latter was Xi Fengling.

Both of them frowned deeply.

Yan Jinyu smiled, “Let’s wait for Little Rain to come before we go for a meal together. I made an excuse when I left the Yin Family today. Brother Nine’s sister-in-law specially asked me out to shop, but I rejected her with the excuse, so I have to go back early.”

With that said, she said to Yin Jiujin, “Let’s go, Brother Nine.”

“I-I’ll go with you guys too.”

As Min Ting spoke, he was about to stand up when Yan Jinyu turned back and smiled at him. “Since Third Young Master Min is here, shouldn’t you discuss the Min Family’s matter with Feng? The Min Family’s matter isn’t over yet.”

“Y-you’re right. There are indeed some matters to discuss.”

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Yan Jinyu’s smile just now contained a very strong warning.

She was warning him not to follow her.

However, she was right. Now that they were in a cooperative relationship, he really had to discuss the Min Family with Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling.

However, he couldn’t calm down from the shock when he suddenly found out that they were all big shots. He didn’t want to talk about anything else today and wanted to leave first to take a breather.

But…

Forget it, let’s just discuss it.

He, who had taken Min Nan’s car over, didn’t want to follow these two and then watch their lovey-dovey alone.

“You guys can leave first. I’ll get my assistant to pick me up later.”

Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. “Alright.”

She turned around and held Yin Jiujin’s hand. She said to Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling, “Goodbye.”

As soon as the two of them walked out of the room, Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling’s expressions changed slightly.

“Min Rufeng, there seems to be something wrong with Beauty Yu.”

Min Rufeng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Of course, he could sense it too.

They all knew very well that Little Yu didn’t care how the Yin Family treated her at all.

Even if she and Yin Jiujin had indeed made an excuse when they came out today, so what? Why did they have to rush back so early?

Perhaps Little Yu had changed for Yin Jiujin and that her actions were no longer the same?

That was even more impossible. Judging from Little Yu’s temper as she attacked Min Nan when she was unhappy just now, they could tell that Little Yu was still the Little Yu that they were familiar with.

She did not have any scruples.

She attacked quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately.

Besides, everyone knew how “close” Yin Jiujin was to the Yin Family.

Little Yu didn’t have to be so accommodating to the Yin Family because of Yin Jiujin.

They were all smart people and quickly figured out the problem.

“It’s all my fault. Why did I have to mention that?” Xi Fengling blamed herself.

Min Rufeng sighed softly. “It’s not your fault either.” Anyone would be shocked to hear that the person they were sure was dead was actually still alive.

“It’s good that you’ve said it. It’s better to say it now than to have a bigger conflict in the future.”

Xi Fengling thought about it carefully after hearing Min Rufeng’s words.

That seemed to be the case.

She felt less guilty.

“That’s true.”

Xi Fengling was still a little worried. “But if that’s the case, will they…”

“So what? Is Little Yu unwanted? It’s fine if he makes a fuss, but he still has to make Little Yu care about his feelings. Does Little Yu owe him anything? We let Little Yu stay by his side because Little Yu has decided on him, and also because Little Yu is indeed happier staying by his side than before.”

“If Little Yu is unhappy by his side, even if he is someone Little Yu has chosen…”

Min Rufeng didn’t say the last sentence, but Xi Fengling could understand.

Even if he was someone Beauty Yu had chosen, they would not let Beauty Yu suffer by his side.

Besides, she didn’t think that Beauty Yu would suffer.

“I-I don’t understand what you’re talking about?” Min Ting, who was at the side, was really trembling now.

He really couldn’t understand what they were saying, but he could still guess the main characters of their conversation.

That was clearly his Second Brother and Yan Jinyu!

So, did they mean that Yan Jinyu and Second Brother had a conflict just now?

Forgive him for his poor eyesight. Why couldn’t he tell?

And why was there a conflict?

Was it because of what Xi Fengling had said?

Oh, Xi Fengling did seem to have said that Yan Jinyu returning to North City was… related to Feng Yun?!

Idiot. He actually only realized it now!

Given how much Second Brother cared about Yan Jinyu, how could he not mind this!

That wasn’t the main point. The main point was that Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling actually said that if Yan Jinyu was unhappy staying by Second Brother’s side, they would…

That was the only person Second Brother cared about in all these years. Second Brother cared about her so much that he, who was so cold and indifferent, did not hesitate to show off his love at all times. What would happen if it was gone?

The two of them looked at him with unfriendly gazes.

Min Ting understood. They were taking their anger out on him.

He felt that he was rather unlucky. Why did he come with Min Nan to watch the show for no reason? In the end, not only was he frightened when he found out about the shocking secret, but he was also warned by Yan Jinyu and treated like a scapegoat by Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling.

“Pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“I don’t think it’s a good time to talk today. Why don’t we meet again another day?”

“Call Second Uncle along next time we meet,” Min Rufeng said.

Hearing this, Min Ting instantly became serious. He looked at him, and the nervousness on his face was gone. He no longer had his usual cynical look. “Didn’t we agree that I would cooperate with you and we won’t implicate my father?”

“Do you think Second Uncle still doesn’t know about the situation at this point? Don’t be stupid. The person behind Min Guili is very likely Ghost Slaughter. It’s best to let Second Uncle know the situation. Although he might not be able to help, at least he won’t ruin the situation if he knows. You don’t want Second Uncle to be the second person after Grandfather to be eliminated by Min Guili and Ghost Slaughter, right?”

Min Ting was shocked, “What do you mean by that?”

What did he mean by Eldest Uncle and Ghost Slaughter?

Could it be that Grandfather’s death was not only related to Eldest Uncle’s family, but also Ghost Slaughter…

Xi Fengling looked up at him and smiled charmingly, “Since Third Young Master Min knows, why ask?”

“Third Young Master Min isn’t that naive to think that Old Master Min’s death was only caused by Min Guili’s family of three, right?”

“If that’s really the case, would Min Rufeng and I spend three years without finding any evidence? Min Guili’s family isn’t that capable.”

Min Ting moved his lips, wanting to say something to refute, but he couldn’t say anything in the end.

Because he knew that if Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling were really the two of the top three killers who went missing with the number one killer, his uncle’s family wouldn’t be their match at all.

The four of them were not ordinary killers. They were the top four killers on the Assassin Ranking. This was not the most shocking thing about them.

What was most shocking about them was that they had destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island at its peak with just the four of them!

Back then, the destruction of Ghost Slaughter Island had shocked many people.

That was an organization that many factions couldn’t destroy even if they wanted to. Many people couldn’t even find out where Ghost Slaughter Island was.

And they did it with just four people!

“Alright, I’ll talk to my dad. I’ll contact you after the time is set.”

Then, he turned and left.

One of the signs of prosperity in the capital was its crowded traffic.

On a certain main road, a car was slowly driving forward.

Among these crowded cars, one of the people sitting in it was Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin, who had come out of Mei Feng Bar.

After the two of them got into the car, neither of them spoke.

The road was congested, so they could only stop and wait.

“Brother Nine, do you have anything to ask me?”

Yin Jiujin looked at Yan Jinyu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. “No.”

He retracted his gaze after taking a look.

“But you’re angry.”

She didn’t sense it at first. She only sensed it when she mentioned to Feng and the others that she had seen Bai Ye and Yin Jiujin actually didn’t give her a look in response when she looked at him.

Ever since Yin Jiujin brought her back, this was the first time he didn’t respond when she looked at him.

“Of course I’m angry. That’s because I care about you.”

“I can’t accept it whenever I think about the fact that you followed me back to North City because you wanted to investigate the cause of someone’s death. Does this mean that if you didn’t want to investigate the cause of his death, you wouldn’t have shown up and let me find you? And you wouldn’t have come back with me?”

After roaring softly, Yin Jiujin seemed to be deflated again, and he looked dejected.

“But at the same time, I’m very grateful.”

“I’m very grateful to have such a person who makes you willing to come back. That’s why I had the chance to meet you.”
