Chapter 260 - Master Nine Is Here
After Yan Jinyu asked this, Xi Fengling slowly controlled the shock that she had felt when she heard Yan Jinyu"s guess. She said, "I"ve been paying attention to the surveillance video over there. At first, there was nothing unusual. However, when the car drove into the main road, the car swayed, as if it had hit something. Then, the screen darkened."
"Min Rufeng and I personally installed the camera, and it"s a modified pinhole camera. It"s not easy to find it."
"Beauty Yu, do you think it"s a coincidence? Did they really hit something and it hit the camera and even damaged it?"
"It"s not impossible," Yan Jinyu said.
After all, the subsequent scenes could no longer be seen. The exact situation over there was also unknown.
"However, the chances of this happening are actually very small. Since Min Sisi is driving the car, I don"t think her driving skills are that bad."
A person who was good at concealing herself and had been undetected for so many years should have more than just some martial arts skills.
Yan Jinyu knew this, and so did Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu.
Yan Jinyu smiled slightly. "However, no matter what the reason is, I"m even more certain now that there"s something wrong with Min Sisi."
"Beauty Yu, do you need us to do anything about this?" Huo Siyu asked.
"There"s no need for that for now. I"ve directed a big show. Just watch the show next." As she spoke, she smiled at Xi Fengling. "Perhaps, this show will also help Feng take over the Min Family."
The two of them were interested when they heard that there was a show to watch.
They asked at the same time, "What big show?"
Hence, Yan Jinyu roughly told them what happened.
"This is indeed a big show." Huo Siyu sighed after hearing that.
Xi Fengling was still fine. Yan Jinyu only went to investigate after receiving the news from Min Rufeng. Even if she didn"t investigate, Xi Fengling had already guessed it.
Huo Siyu was excited. "Beauty Yu, let them make a fuss first. Let"s just sit back and reap the benefits."
"Mm-hm."
"But Beauty Yu, what you mentioned just now is that Ghost Slaughter Island isn"t the only base that nurtures people for Ghost Slaughter. How great is that possibility? If that"s the case, doesn"t it mean that there"s another force that we don"t know about in Ghost Slaughter?" Xi Fengling was still very worried.
She knew very well that Yan Jinyu wouldn"t have such a guess for no reason.
"So what if there is?"
"Meimei, we can destroy their nest once, but can"t we destroy it a second time? Furthermore, even if Ghost Slaughter has another base, its main force gotta be on Ghost Slaughter Island. Otherwise, do you think that if anyone was lucky enough to survive on Ghost Slaughter Island, they would be silent for three years before making a move?"
"You have to know that if those people are still alive, they definitely want to take our lives immediately."
Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu looked at each other.
That was indeed true.
If the other party was strong enough, he would definitely not stay silent for three years.
Although they heaved a sigh of relief, their expressions were obviously still tense. Yan Jinyu chuckled, "Besides, didn"t I say that it was just my guess?"
After she said that, Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu were speechless again. The heavy atmosphere dissipated.
***
After chatting for a while on the fifth floor, Xi Fengling went to the wine cellar to get the three bottles of baijiu. The three of them then returned to the private room on the third floor.
When the three of them returned, the atmosphere in the private room had returned to normal.
Even Yan Jinyu couldn"t say anything.
There were no outsiders around. Of course, other than not knowing their ident.i.ties, Qin Hao wasn"t an outsider in their eyes.
He had almost "captured" Huo Siyu.
Since there were no outsiders around, they were naturally more relaxed than before. Huo Siyu and Xi Fengling had both chosen songs to sing, while Yan Jinyu quietly ate her snacks and watched them make a scene.
As for the other three men, other than Huo Xuan, the other two were drinking red wine quietly.
They would chat occasionally.
However, they were mostly unimportant topics.
This state lasted for more than two hours until Yin Jiujin appeared in Mei Feng.
"Master Nine, we"re here." The waiter personally led Yin Jiujin to the private room.
The waiter knocked twice before pus.h.i.+ng the door open. "Lady Boss, Master Nine is here."
Then, he retreated.
The waiter was saying this to Xi Fengling, but before Xi Fengling could react, Yan Jinyu, who was eating, had a gleam in her eyes. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked up to see the cool man slowly walking into the private room.
Yin Jiujin was wearing a black coat. The scarf he was wearing was slightly different from Yan Jinyu"s, but it wasn"t difficult to tell that they were of the same style.
The moment he entered, he didn"t even look at the others. His gaze was fixed on Yan Jinyu.
At the moment he saw Yan Jinyu, although Yin Jiujin"s expression was still indifferent, the expression in his eyes was gentle.
"Yin…" As the host, Xi Fengling was about to stand up to greet him when a figure flashed past and interrupted her.
Yan Jinyu pounced at Yin Jiujin. When Yin Jiujin saw her darting over like a cannonball, he was so shocked that he hurriedly opened his arms to catch her. He was afraid that she would lose control and fall.
Yan Jinyu jumped up and hugged his neck. She hung onto him and even kissed the corner of his lips.
Yin Jiujin held her up and looked at her smiling face. He was helpless and yet satisfied. "Be careful. I"m here. I"m not going to run away."
"Of course I know that you won"t run, Brother Nine. However, for some reason, I actually feel like I haven"t seen you for a long time even though it"s only been a few hours."
Yin Jiujin"s lips curled up slightly when he heard that.
It was good that she had this realization. Otherwise, he would have thought that he was the only one who had this feeling.
He really wished he could bring her with him at all times.
He looked up and saw that everyone sitting on the sofa was staring at them.
Qin Hao even looked at him with an extremely teasing gaze.
Looking at the others, other than Huo Xuan, who had a complicated expression, the other three people had probably seen it with their own eyes and didn"t have much of a reaction.
However, Huo Xuan"s complicated expression…
…made Yin Jiujin"s eyes darkened.
He sneered inwardly. He knew that Huo Xuan was up to no good.
Suddenly, their gazes met. Yin Jiujin had declared his "sovereignty" by holding onto the person hanging on him. Huo Xuan"s eyes flickered.
Then, he smiled sinisterly.
In comparison, his aura was not weak at all.
As for how Huo Xuan felt right now, no one knew except him.
Huo Xuan carried the aura of the head of the Huo Family when he was facing his business rivals.
This surprised Yin Jiujin.
However, on second thought, it seemed reasonable too.
In all these years, Huo Xuan was the only one who dared to openly find trouble with him. It didn"t seem strange that he dared to openly provoke him this time.
As he thought about it, Yin Jiujin looked over again.
There was a tempestuous undercurrent.
Huo Siyu was sitting beside Huo Xuan so how could she not sense the intense rivalry?
She secretly thought, Oh dear.
Seems like her brother"s att.i.tude towards Beauty Yu…
No, it was also possible that she was thinking too much. Her brother and Yin Jiujin didn"t get along in business. Perhaps it was because of this secret compet.i.tion?
Although she thought so, Huo Siyu still couldn"t help but interrupt, "Beauty Yu, stop showing off. It gives me gooseb.u.mps."
Yes, just take it that she was feeling sorry for her brother.
If her brother really had feelings for Beauty Yu, how uncomfortable would it be to watch the two of them being intimate?
Yin Jiujin held Yan Jinyu with one hand and rubbed her head with the other. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. "Come down first."
Yan Jinyu didn"t have any intention of being shy. At least, that was what she looked like on the surface. However, she was actually still a little shy inwardly.
Little Rain had actually begun to tease her.
She let go of Yin Jiujin and turned to look at Huo Siyu with an "unfriendly" gaze.
Huo Siyu laughed dryly.
Yan Jinyu ignored her and asked Yin Jiujin, "Brother Nine, why didn"t you call me before coming over?"
Yin Jiujin held her hand in his. "I want to give you a surprise."
"Are you surprised to see me?"
"I"m surprised." Yan Jinyu wasn"t lying. Although she had long known that Yin Jiujin would come, she thought that Yin Jiujin would tell her before he came.
Yin Jiujin was satisfied after hearing her reply.
He looked at the few people opposite him and nodded slightly as a form of greeting.
Xi Fengling coughed dryly and said, "It"s almost 5:30 now. Since Second Young Master Yin is here, let"s change venues. I"ve already gotten someone to book the restaurant."
Even though she had seen Beauty Yu and Yin Jiujin kiss without any care in front of him and Min Rufeng, she was still a little startled by Beauty Yu"s "bold" side.
Before Yin Jiujin came, Beauty Yu was so quiet sitting there!
She was like a quiet beauty.
Now, she was still a beauty, but she was an active beauty who did not look collected at all and was even a little clingy.
Most importantly, Beauty Yu wasn"t pretending.
It was no wonder that Beauty Yu had completely deceived her with her appearance in the past.
Of course, the others had no objections to Xi Fengling"s suggestion.
Min Rufeng glanced at Yin Jiujin deeply before glancing at Yin Jiujin"s hand that was holding Yan Jinyu"s hand. He calmly instructed a waiter to go to the wine cellar to get two more bottles of liquor.
Including the three bottles that Xi Fengling had brought up, there were a total of five bottles. They were all baijiu.
***
The restaurant Xi Fengling booked was not far. It only took them 10 minutes to drive over.
Yan Jinyu naturally sat in Yin Jiujin"s car.
When Yin Jiujin came over, he didn"t park the car in the underground parking lot. Instead, his and Qin Hao"s car were parked in the small parking lot outside.
Hence, when the others headed for the underground parking lot, only Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin, and Qin Hao left through the front door of the bar.
As for Huo Siyu, she was naturally dragged over by Huo Xuan to sit in his car. The reason was that he was not feeling well and couldn"t drive, so he wanted Huo Siyu to be his driver.
Huo Siyu wanted to say that they could take someone else"s car and they did not have to drive there themselves.
Huo Xuan didn"t say anything and just glanced at her indifferently and she simply surrendered.
It couldn"t be helped. These people were all in pairs. If she were to be with Qin Hao too, her brother would be a little pitiful.
As the car drove out of the bas.e.m.e.nt, Huo Siyu suddenly said, "Brother."
Huo Xuan looked at her and waited for her to speak.
"…Nothing. I just want to tell Brother that you don"t have to worry too much. When Brother Feng sends the prescription and medicine to us later, your illness will be cured very quickly."
Actually, she wanted to ask if he had any feelings towards Beauty Yu…
But she still didn"t ask after giving it some thought.
When Huo Xuan heard that, his expression softened, "I know, I"m not worried."
This was already considered a blessing from the heavens to him. In the past, he had never thought that there would be such a turn in his illness.
"Rainy."
"What?"
However, she saw that Huo Xuan was looking at her quietly, as if he was hesitating.
