Chapter 340: A Strike To The Throat
“It’s all that idiot from the Feng Family! If she hadn’t ruined things, we wouldn’t have been in so much trouble tonight!”
Lind Jones looked at Huo Xuan. “I didn’t expect the head of the Huo Family to have such a deep relations.h.i.+p with Eldest Miss Yan. He was actually willing to take the risk and interfere for Eldest Miss Yan.”
Huo Xuan didn’t know Lind Jones at all. With his temper, how could he be in the mood to talk nonsense with him?
“There are many things that you didn’t expect.” The gun was aimed at Lind Jones again.
Yuan Xi’s gun was pointed at Huo Xuan.
From the looks of it, Huo Xuan was facing the two of them alone.
“If you kid from the Yuan Family really has the guts, just shoot,” Huo Xuan provoked.
“I only want to save him. If Young Master Huo doesn’t make a move, I naturally won’t move either.”
“The Yuan Family has indeed nurtured a good heir. However, aren’t you afraid that I’ll blame the Yuan Family for you going against me like this?”
“I’m only representing myself today. It has nothing to do with the Yuan Family. Young Master Huo isn’t someone who can’t differentiate between public and private matters.”
Yuan Xi was actually not as calm as he looked on the surface.
Even if he wasn’t in the country all these years, as the heir of the Yuan Family in South City, he more or less knew Huo Xuan.
He was not someone to offend.
Although he was in poor health and always looked like a sickly young master, Huo Xuan’s methods were not inferior to the one from the Yin Family.
They were both ruthless characters.
He was also someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
For what he did today, Huo Xuan would definitely find trouble with the Yuan Family after this. Who asked him to be the eldest grandson of the Yuan Family?
There was no such thing as personal for him.
Indeed, Huo Xuan said, “I’m really such a person.”
“Besides, why don’t I know that there is still a difference in public and private matters when one member of a family has offended someone? Haven’t there been many cases of people offending someone and implicating the entire family?”
“Little Xi, why are you doing this? Ever since you violated the agreement and helped Yan Jinyu, you’re no longer considered one of us here. Even if you save me now, I might not appreciate your kindness.”
Yuan Xi looked at Lind Jones and didn’t say anything.
Lind Jones smiled mockingly. “Haven’t you heard of the saying, ‘Disloyal for once, never be trusted’? You broke the agreement before, so why are you acting like a close friend now? Is it meaningful?”
“Of course, you have your reasons, but isn’t your current conflict with the head of the Huo Family contradicting your excuse about not wanting to bring trouble to the Yuan Family?”
“I really don’t understand.”
Yuan Xi was silent.
Not to mention Lind didn’t understand, even he didn’t understand himself.
She originally wanted to help Lind, but after seeing Yan Jinyu, she hesitated.
He was hesitant because of Yan Jinyu. Furthermore, after knowing that Yan Jinyu was the “Chi” and she had a formidable fiancé, he was worried that he would implicate the Yuan Family.
But now, he had offended Huo Xuan in order to save Lind from Huo Xuan and would also implicate the Yuan Family.
However, he chose to do so even though he knew that he would implicate the Yuan Family.
Hence, he could not understand himself.
He looked at Lind Jones again. “Go.”
“It doesn’t matter if you acknowledge me as your friend in the future. After all, I was indeed the one who violated the agreement before. But now, if you don’t want to die here, leave immediately!”
“Don’t tell me you naively think that you can still kill Eldest Miss Yan in the current situation?”
Yuan Xi looked in Yan Jinyu’s direction, “Look for yourself.”
Lind Jones and Huo Xuan followed his gaze at the same time.
They saw Yan Jinyu, who was slightly injured, facing the mysterious person again. At the same time, more than 10 people wearing black masks surrounded Yan Jinyu.
It was not close combat. Everyone was holding a gun!
As for the six people Yin Jiujin had sent to protect her, they were already either dead or injured.
This was already a deadlock for Yan Jinyu.
However, Yan Jinyu didn’t panic at all. Her expression didn’t even change at all.
On Ghost Slaughter Island, the situation was much more serious than now when she first faced off Liu Guang.
Ghost Slaughter Island was filled with experts. Those who stayed by Liu Guang’s side to protect him were even experts among experts. And even after being surrounded by so many experts, Yan Jinyu could still retreat unscathed…
She dashed and waved the golden thread to block the bullets that were coming at her. At the same time, she rushed towards the people surrounding her.
She was heading towards those people under the dense number of bullets!
At close range, golden threads flew out and slashed at their throats!
She finished off the 10-odd people surrounding her in less than a minute!
In such a situation, Yan Jinyu came with the thought of putting herself in harm’s way because that mysterious person was indeed an expert. These people couldn’t compare to him.
If she wanted to kill these people in front of him at the same time, how could she completely avoid the dense bullets that he shot?
However, Yan Jinyu wasn’t shot.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of gunshots sounded.
Yan Jinyu looked over after getting rid of these people.
Under the dim lights, the man was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt. He looked handsome and his eyes were dark. He held a gun in one hand as he brought a group of people over.
It was Yin Jiujin.
His marksmans.h.i.+p was precise. He basically shot one person with each bullet!
The mysterious person was also shot in the other arm.
Under such circ.u.mstances, how could he continue to fight Yin Jiujin directly?
He quickly hid behind a tree and covered his arm that was bleeding from the bullet!
Both his arms were injured, and his marksmans.h.i.+p was no longer as accurate as before! In addition, Yin Jiujin was extremely fast. He didn’t get shot even when he shuttled in between the bullets! Most of the bullets were still hit by the bullets he fired!
Anyway, he was not injured at all!
And those small fry had mostly been dealt with!
Only the mysterious man and Lind Jones were left!
If this disadvantage continued, the outcome would be obvious. Moreover, Yan Jinyu was free now. The revolver in her hand had no more bullets. She immediately took out another gun from her back.
She was going against that mysterious person with Yin Jinjin.
Even though they were hiding behind a tree, the mysterious person could not completely dodge such dense bullets and two people with such precise marksmans.h.i.+p.
He was shot a few more times!
However, he was indeed skilled and his vitals were not injured.
Seeing this situation, Lind Jones looked at Yuan Xi deeply and retreated while pointing his gun at Huo Xuan.
At the same time, someone appeared at the scene.
He was wearing a black sweater, a hat, and a ghost mask!
He fired at Yin Jiujin. Yan Jinyu was shocked when she saw this. “Brother Nine, be careful!” She suddenly reacted and pulled the trigger, blocking the bullet in midair!
It was a close call!
Anyway, that was the case for Yan Jinyu.
She broke out in a cold sweat!
He was a little far away and that person was wearing a mask. However, for a moment, Yan Jinyu’s gaze still met his in midair.
At the moment their gazes met, the person threw something out.
In an instant, poisonous smoke filled the air.
Yan Jinyu was shocked and hurriedly pulled Yin Jiujin away. “Be careful. The smoke is poisonous!”
Ghost Slaughter’s usual method!
And the person who came was…
In reality, it wasn’t Yan Jinyu who pulled Yin Jiujin away. It was Yin Jiujin who hugged her and protected her in his arms. His back was facing the smoke.
After the smoke dissipated, the masked man and the mysterious man disappeared together with Lind Jones.
Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened as he instructed Lin Zimu, “Mobilize everyone under you. Get them!”
Lin Zimu’s heart skipped a beat. After following his boss for so many years, this was the first time he had seen his boss get serious. Wouldn’t North City be turned upside down if he used all his subordinates?
“Yes!” He led the others away.
Cheng Lin brought a few people to settle the aftermath.
Yin Jiujin hugged Yan Jinyu in his arms. He didn’t say anything and just hugged her tighter and tighter.
Yan Jinyu didn’t struggle either.
She let him hug her.
After hugging for a long time, Yin Jiujin finally let go of Yan Jinyu.
He didn’t look at her.
He placed a gun back into his pocket and held her right hand tightly with his left hand. His right hand was aimed at Yuan Xi.
He didn’t shoot immediately but looked at Huo Xuan.
Their gazes met. Huo Xuan’s expression was normal, and Yin Jiujin’s expression didn’t change either.
“Thank you,” Yin Jiujin said.
Huo Xuan was a little surprised that Yin Jiujin would thank him. Yet, he felt that it was also reasonable, “It’s nothing.”
Huo Xuan retracted the gun in his hand and glanced at Yuan Xi. His gaze swept past Yan Jinyu, who was beside Yin Jiujin. His lowered hand clenched into a fist, but there was nothing wrong with his expression. “Since Second Young Master Yin is here, I’ll make a move first.”
Yin Jiujin nodded. “Goodbye.”
After Huo Xuan left, Yin Jiujin looked at Yuan Xi, who was standing there. The gun in his hand was still aimed at him.
Yuan Xi was facing Huo Xuan when Yin Jiujin arrived.
Since Huo Xuan was here to help Yan Jinyu, in Yin Jiujin’s opinion, Yuan Xi was his enemy.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Yan Jinyu suddenly said, “Brother Nine, I don’t want to owe anyone a favor.”
Yin Jiujin still didn’t look at her. He simply moved his gun down and shot the ground beside Yuan Xi’s feet with a bang.
“If there’s a next time, you’ll die.”
Since Yin Jiujin had brought people over, someone naturally went to help the third floor.
Bo Lang and Tan s.h.i.+yun were not injured.
They stood on the third floor and looked down.
Yin Jiujin looked up. Then, he picked Yan Jinyu up and carried her in his arms.
The two people upstairs and the one person downstairs watched them leave.
They had all seen Yan Jinyu make a move. They all knew how strong she was.
Not only was she not seriously injured by so many bullets, but she also killed so many people and seriously injured Lind Jones and the mysterious person.
She was clearly such a strong person, but she looked pet.i.te and weak in the man’s arms.
The three people who witnessed this scene were very touched.
Among them, Tan s.h.i.+yun felt the most.
This was probably the state after one could completely relax in front of someone they trusted wholeheartedly.
“Bo Lang, that person isn’t dead. Will… the Bo Family be fine?” Tan s.h.i.+yun was really worried.
Lind Jones wasn’t dead. They didn’t do as he instructed and were still standing against him. She was really worried that he would take revenge.
She didn’t care about herself. She was afraid that Lind Jones would attack the Bo Family.
“It’s fine. I’ll take care of it.”
He looked at Tan s.h.i.+yun. “It’s very late. Go get a room and rest early. Return to school tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Tan s.h.i.+yun grabbed his sleeve.
He turned back and looked at the sleeve that she was grabbing. He didn’t break free either. He asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Too much has happened tonight. I’m a little afraid to be alone. Can I stay in your room?”
Tan s.h.i.+yun knew that because of Bo Lang’s bad temper, the person who was a.s.signed to the same room as him had requested another room at the farm after coming here. Hence, Bo Lang stayed alone.
“Didn’t we sleep in the same room when we trained together when we were young? Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you. It’s a standard room. You’ll sleep in your bed while I sleep in mine.”
She swung his sleeve. “Bo Lang, can I?”
Bo Lang looked at her hand that was shaking his sleeve for a long time before saying, “Go pack your things.”
In the room, Cheng Lin, who had stayed behind to clean up the mess, had got a female service staff member and was helping Yan Jinyu pack her things.
Tan s.h.i.+yun nodded at Cheng Lin as a form of greeting. They didn’t interact much after that.
In the corridor outside the room, Bo Lang looked at Feng Yan, who had unfortunately been shot a few times, and her two sidekicks. He walked over and kicked Feng Yan, who had already fainted, hard. He kicked her straight to the wall. Then, he saw the dagger that Yan Jinyu had dropped after stabbing the two girls and kicked the dagger.
The dagger flew straight into the room and hit the woman who was still alive, cutting off her last breath.
Cheng Lin and Tan s.h.i.+yun, who were instructing the service staff in the room to pack, happened to see this scene.
They looked at him.
Bo Lang’s expression remained unchanged. “She’s not dead.”
“Yes, it’s good that she’s dead. Even if you don’t do anything, I’ll do it later. Feng Yan hired her. She’s not only targeting Jinyu. Feng Yan wants to destroy me too.”
After saying that, she added, “She seemed to have seen me talking to you in school. You also know that Feng Yan is your crazy admirer. She will find fault with any girl who is slightly related to you. Didn’t Jinyu suffer an undeserved calamity previously?”
“However, Feng Yan wasn’t capable enough and was taught a lesson by Jinyu instead.”
“She didn’t learn her lesson after being taught a lesson. She deserves it.”
“By the way, is Feng Yan dead?”
“I don’t know,” Bo Lang said again. “I’m not familiar with her, and her admiration has nothing to do with me.”
Tan s.h.i.+yun was stunned when she heard that and stared at him.
However, Bo Lang avoided her gaze. “Pack your things quickly.”
Tan s.h.i.+yun suddenly smiled. “Yes.”
After packing up, the two of them left the room. Bo Lang had helped Tan s.h.i.+yun carry her luggage.
Cheng Lin was very efficient. He finished clearing the mess in two hours.
Other than Feng Yan and the other two who had fallen in the corridor, everyone was taken away.
The scene had been cleaned. It simply looked a little messy. It was impossible to tell that they had just experienced a chaotic battle not long ago. The traces of bullets and blood had been wiped away.
Cheng Lin had also warned everyone who should be warned. He guaranteed that no one else would know what happened here tonight other than the people present.
