Chapter 197 - The Yin Family
Yan Jinyu was still in Huo Siyu"s car when she received Yin Jiujin"s call. The two of them had yet to reach their next destination.
Seeing that it was Yin Jiujin calling, Yan Jinyu smiled.
As expected.
"I saw them," she said.
Yin Jiujin stopped in his tracks. "Then, you…"
"Brother Nine, are you afraid that I"ll misunderstand?"
Yin Jiujin heaved a sigh of relief when she said that.
It was good that there was no misunderstanding.
"Don"t think too much about unimportant people."
"What happened in the end? How did Brother Nine deal with her?"
"I kicked her away. She"ll probably be in the hospital for a while."
Yan Jinyu smiled. Why did his tone sound like that of a good child eager to be praised by an adult?
Hence, she did not hesitate to satisfy him. "Yes, Brother Nine did very well. If you meet such a woman who tries to take advantage of you in the future, you"ll deal with her like this too."
"Then, Brother Nine, go ahead and get busy. Call me when you"re done."
Yin Jiujin answered and was about to hang up when Yan Jinyu suddenly asked, "Brother Nine, you said that you roughly guessed who released the news of the Empire Building"s accident. Can you tell me who did you guess it was?"
Yin Jiujin didn"t expect her to ask this. He pursed his lips tightly and said after a long while, "I"ll tell you after I"m sure."
Yan Jinyu smiled. "Mm-hm."
Huo Siyu looked at Yan Jinyu, who was staring at the phone in her hand without saying a word after hanging up the call. She didn"t know what she was thinking. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Beauty Yu, have you also guessed who it is?"
Yan Jinyu looked up and smiled at her, "Not yet."
***
Following that, the capital became very "lively".
It was said that there were nearly 100 people who were "invited" to the Mount West Villa by Yin Jiujin.
There was so much news on the Internet. It was not surprising that there were hundreds of people involved.
They were interrogated for two days and two nights in the Mount West Villa.
Some people came back from the Mount West Villa unscathed, some came back with injuries, and some disappeared.
However, regardless of whether they came back with injuries or intact, they were all very frightened. Some people even hid in their houses and did not go out after they returned home.
At the same time, nearly 30 big and small family companies in the capital went bankrupt.
In just two days, the capital was filled with panic and shock. Some people who were involved in this matter were worried that a disaster was about to happen to them.
From then on, Master Nine"s reputation became even greater and no one dared to offend him.
In the meeting room of Mount West Villa.
Yin Jiujin sat at the main seat. Other than Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin, there was also a young man who was about 27 or 28 years old sitting at the meeting table.
Sitting with Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin, he looked even more serious and capable.
He was the general manager of the Empire Group, Jiang Hao.
"Boss, all the people involved say the same thing. They all received threatening calls saying that if they don"t release the news according to the other party"s request, they will die."
"During this period, there were people who didn"t believe in this threat and didn"t follow it. There were also people who tried to tell us about this."
"However, these people all met with misfortune."
"Currently, be it the threatening phone calls they received or how those people met with misfortune, we can"t find anything yet."
"Continue investigating." After a pause, Yin Jiujin said, "Investigate Ghost Slaughter Island."
Other than Cheng Lin, who had seen Yan Jinyu attack, the other two people were stunned when they heard Yin Jiujin"s instructions.
Wasn"t Ghost Slaughter Island destroyed?
Furthermore, when had Boss ever interacted with Ghost Slaughter Island?
However, they had never doubted Yin Jiujin"s words. They nodded and replied, "Yes."
"Boss, we"ve found out about the Lingering Garden"s incident," Lin Zimu said.
"It was indeed done by someone, but it wasn"t anyone from the Lingering Garden. The person who sneaked in to take photos, started the fire. It has nothing to do with… Yu Qingwan." The results of the investigation were like this, but Lin Zimu actually didn"t believe that it really had nothing to do with Yu Qingwan.
"Since when can anyone enter the Lingering Garden as they pleased? Let the person guarding the Lingering Garden receive his punishment."
The three of them were shocked.
"Yes."
Then, Lin Zimu continued to report, "As for the results of the interrogation, it"s similar to Jiang Hao"s. They only acted after receiving a threatening call."
"There"s obviously a group of people behind this. As for what their purpose is, we don"t know for the time being."
"It"s two groups," Jiang Hao replied.
Since Jiang Hao could become Yin Jiujin"s number one subordinate and become the general manager of the Empire Group, he naturally wasn"t weak.
He still had the ability to see through things.
If it wasn"t for the fact that the incident at the Empire Building had happened too suddenly and seemed to have erupted in an instant, and that it might have involved someone who even Yin Jiujin wasn"t afraid of, Jiang Hao wouldn"t have been in such a hurry to call Yin Jiujin.
Jiang Hao was the same as Lin Zimu. All these years, other than Huo Xuan who occasionally caused trouble, they had never seen anyone who dared to openly offend Yin Jiujin. He had no choice but to take them seriously.
Under Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin"s puzzled gazes, Jiang Hao explained, "One of them wants to lure the boss back to the capital and bring the boss to the Lingering Garden. As for the purpose, we don"t know for the time being. The other is to help the boss by blowing this matter up so that the boss can shock those people who have already forgotten the boss"s style. As for the purpose, we don"t know for the time being."
"Could it be that those people who lured Boss back to the capital and then to the Lingering Garden just want to drive a wedge between Boss and Miss Yu?" Lin Zimu said uncertainly.
It was really hard for him to believe that the other party had spent so much effort on such a small matter.
Cheng Lin, who knew Yan Jinyu"s ident.i.ty, was silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps." After saying that, he carefully looked at Yin Jiujin"s expression. Seeing that he wasn"t angry or had no intention of stopping him from continuing, he continued, "Miss Yu, actually, isn"t simply the Miss Yu we see."
These words sounded a little confusing, but Jiang Hao and Lin Zimu were both smart people. Coupled with their years of working together and understanding of Cheng Lin, they roughly guessed something.
They did not show it on their face, but they were already shocked.
They recalled what their boss had said about investigating Ghost Slaughter Island.
Didn"t this mean that Miss Yu was related to Ghost Slaughter Island?
Did Ghost Slaughter Island spend so much effort to target her, or rather, to drive a wedge between her and their boss?
After thinking this through, Lin Zimu didn"t need Yin Jiujin to instruct him. He said, "I"ll get someone to keep an eye on Yu Qingwan." Yu Qingwan was very suspicious.
"Jiang Hao will deal with the rest." With that said, Yin Jiujin stood up.
He looked at Cheng Lin. "Let"s make a trip to the Yin Family."
They were all smart people. Yin Jiujin had only returned to the Yin Family once or twice a year. At most, he would return three times a year. However, he had suddenly returned at this moment. It was definitely related to this matter.
Could it be that the other group was related to the Yin Family?
Watching Cheng Lin walk out of the meeting room with Yin Jiujin, Jiang Hao and Lin Zimu fell silent.
If it was really related to the Yin Family, it was not something that they, who worked under their boss, could interfere in.
No matter what, the Yin Family was still the boss"s home. The Yin Family was also his family.
***
Half an hour later.
At the Yin Family"s old residence.
The old residence of a top-notch family in the capital like the Yin Family naturally covered a large area.
This entire piece belonged to the Yin Family.
The old residence was very old and it even had a vermillion door.
Although it was ancient, the security system was very complete. Yin Jiujin"s car was 50 meters away from the Yin Family"s door when the Yin Family"s security room saw its image.
"It"s Second Young Master!"
The three people sitting in the security room stood up excitedly when they saw the car plate number.
It was really difficult for Yin Jiujin to return to the Yin Family once. He had suddenly returned, and it was at a time when everyone in the capital was panicking.
Over the past few days, they had been in awe of Yin Jiujin even more, which was why they were so excited.
"Call Butler Wu quickly."
"Open the door quickly."
After giving out instructions, they went about their own business.
Although it was a vermillion door, it was no longer like in the old days where one had to personally run over to open the door. It was remotely controlled by a b.u.t.ton.
The door opened and Cheng Lin drove straight into the Yin Family"s mansion.
The Yin Family"s mansion was even larger than the entire Mount Jing.
It was huge.
Cheng Lin didn"t drive to the main building. Instead, he followed Yin Jiujin"s instructions and headed straight for the bamboo forest behind.
***
In the living room of the Yin Family"s main building.
As soon as they received the news that Yin Jiujin had returned, everyone in the Yin Family hurriedly went downstairs and sat in the living room.
Yin Jiujin had caused such a huge commotion in the capital the past two days, so they weren"t in the mood to go to work. They all sat at home and watched.
They wanted to ask but did not dare to. They did not know what was going on.
They were worried sick.
"Where do you think Jin"er has gone?" Yin Shuguo asked the old man standing beside him. The old man"s surname was Wu, and he was the Yin Family"s butler.
"He went to the Bamboo Forest Elegant Abode."
"He returned to his courtyard?" Qin Jianjia asked.
There were two courtyards in the Bamboo Forest Elegant Abode—Azure Garden and Elegant Court.
The Azure Garden was Yin Jiujin"s residence in the Yin Family.
As for Yin Shuguo, Yin Wuzhan, and Yin Yuhan, the eldest grandson of the Yin Family, they all lived in the main building.
"Jin"er hasn"t been back for a long time, but he suddenly returned to his residence. Could it be that he"s going to take something?" Qin Jianjia asked again.
"Why don"t I go over and take a look? Jin"er hasn"t been back for too long. Other than regularly getting someone to clean his courtyard, no one else has stepped foot into it. If he needs anything, I"m afraid he won"t be able to find it for a while. It"s good to have someone to help him."
The Yin Family knew that other than the late Old Madam, Qin Jianjia had the best relations.h.i.+p with Yin Jiujin in the Yin Family. Most importantly, when Yin Jiujin and the Yin Family were in conflict, Qin Jianjia had yet to marry into the Yin Family. Furthermore, she was Qin Hao"s elder sister.
"Go ahead," Old Master agreed.
He looked at Yin Yuhan, "Han"er will go over and take a look too."
After the two of them left, Min Qinglan moved her lips to say something, but she didn"t say anything in the end.
The aftereffects of being frightened by Yan Jinyu when she went to North City previously were still present. In the past, she used to talk the most in the Yin Family, but now, she was especially quiet.
"Dad, hasn"t Jin"er caused too much commotion recently?" Yin Wuzhan asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Shuguo flicked a glance at him. "Why? Someone is bullying him. Do you want your son to suffer silently? This is what my grandson should do. Let"s see if those people still dare to provoke him!"
"Why? Can"t withstand the pressure?"
"Not really. Jin"er never lets us clean up the aftermath. You know that, Dad. It"s the same this time. Han"er and I don"t have to help at all."
"Jin"er has handled everything very well."
