Chapter 495: The Last Torture
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the capital’s airport.
Yan Jinyu was wearing a light-colored long dress with long sleeves.
It would be colder that day.
She was standing at the arrival gate. The people who walked out could see her at a glance.
“Sister!” Yan Jinyun was wearing a long white dress and dragging her luggage out.
The person behind Yan Jinyun had a serious expression. It was Chu Ling.
Yan Jinyun had called Yan Jinyu a week ago to tell her that she was coming to the capital.
Their 19th birthday was coming soon.
Yan Jinyun was just here to celebrate their birthday together with Yan Jinyu.
Logically speaking, she was the head of the Yan Family. Yan Jinyun should have organized a grand birthday party to invite people from all over the business world, but she didn’t want to.
Other than Chu Ling, Feng Yuan was also present.
After knowing that Yan Jinyun came to the capital to celebrate her birthday, Feng Yuan naturally couldn’t be absent, so he followed her.
Feng Yuan had finally got himself stabilized in the Feng Corporation now.
His ability was slowly getting recognized by the people in the corporation after being doubted at the beginning.
Speaking of which, they had doubts back then because Feng Yuan had given people a bad impression in his early years.
In terms of hedonism, only Luo Yikun could surpa.s.s him among the young masters of the North City.
“Jinyu!”
“Miss Yu.”
The three of them walked over and greeted each other.
Feng Yuan had a smile on his face. He was happy to see Yan Jinyu after a long time of not seeing her.
Chu Ling looked respectful.
They all knew that Yan Jinyu was the one who found Chu Ling. The two of them weren’t surprised that Chu Ling knew Yan Jinyu. They were surprised by Chu Ling’s att.i.tude towards Yan Jinyu.
She was too respectful.
However, the two of them didn’t ask anything.
Some things were better left unsaid even if they had already guessed it.
Yan Jinyu smiled faintly and said, “The car is parked outside. Let’s go.”
At this moment, Yan Jinyun’s luggage was in Feng Yuan’s hand and he was dragging it.
***
In the car, Yan Jinyu drove while Chu Ling sat in the front pa.s.senger seat. The other two sat in the back.
“I’m staying at Brother Nine’s Mount West Villa now. Do you guys want to stay at Mount West Villa or somewhere else during this period of time?” Yan Jinyu asked.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to bring them to Mount West Villa, but she was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable.
Yin Jiujin’s reputation in North City previously… No, it should be said that Yin Jiujin had always been very famous. She was afraid that they would be afraid of Yin Jiujin.
“I have a residence in the capital. If you don’t want to go to the Mount West Villa, you can stay there.”
Feng Yuan wanted to say that they could actually stay in a hotel too.
However, seeing that Yan Jinyu was asking seriously and understanding that Yan Jinyun wanted to spend more time with Yan Jinyu, he retracted his words.
“Anything is fine. Yun’er will decide.”
Yan Jinyu asked, “What about Yun’er?”
After not seeing each other for so long, Yan Jinyun wanted to stay with Yan Jinyu after not being able to live together in North City. It wasn’t easy for her to come to the capital as she lived far away. It was difficult for her to meet Yan Jinyu.
However, if she was going to stay at Mount West Villa…
To be honest, she was a little afraid.
Anyone who had heard of Master Nine’s name knew that Mount West Villa was Master Nine’s territory.
In the capital, anyone who offended Master Nine would be invited to the Mount West Villa as a “guest”.
It didn’t sound like an ordinary residence.
She wanted to go, but she was afraid that she would accidentally find out some secrets about Mount West Villa that were not meant for the outsiders.
Of course, even if she knew the secrets, she wouldn’t tell anyone. She was afraid that Master Nine would mind.
Yan Jinyu saw her expression in the rearview mirror. How could she not see her hesitation?
“Actually, due to some matters, Little Rain and Meimei are also living in the Mount West Villa now.”
When Yan Jinyun, who was hesitating, heard that, her eyes lit up.
They were all staying at the Mount West Villa now, so it was not so rude for her and Feng Yuan to go over.
However, she knew very well that be it Xi Fengling or Huo Siyu, their relations.h.i.+p with Yan Jinyu was extraordinary. In other words, they might know what Yan Jinyu was like in the past. Some secrets might not be secrets to them, including Master Nine’s exclusive territory like the Mount West Villa.
“Will we disturb you if we go over?”
“You won’t disturb us. I’m just afraid that you’ll feel uncomfortable if you go over.”
To be honest, Yin Jiujin wasn’t that scary. She really didn’t know why they all looked at Yin Jiujin as if they were rats looking at a cat.
At that moment, Yan Jinyu had forgotten.
A long time ago, Yin Jiujin was also one of the few people she was wary of.
“Th-then let’s go stay at the Mount West Villa. We will only be staying in the capital for a few days. We’ll go back after our birthday.”
Yan Jinyun had spent the past few days working overtime.
She still had to take care of the company while studying. She was usually very busy with the company.
The birthday celebration was only secondary. At the end of the day, she just wanted to spend more time with Yan Jinyu.
“Alright, we’ll go over later. Shall we go eat something now?”
“Anything is fine, Sister. You can make the arrangements.” Ever since Yan Jinyun lost her composure and cried in front of Yan Jinyu the last time, Yan Jinyun had stopped being prim and proper in front of Yan Jinyu.
She had already done such an embarra.s.sing thing such as burst out crying. What else couldn’t Yan Jinyu know? There was no need to hide it. She would do whatever she wanted.
This was Yan Jinyun’s current thoughts.
“Then let’s go eat first. I’ve already booked the restaurant.”
“Miss Yu,” Chu Ling, who was in the front pa.s.senger seat, suddenly said.
Yan Jinyu turned to her.
“Please stop the car in front. I won’t be going with you all. With you around, Second Miss Yan shouldn’t be in any danger. I want to take a day off to settle some personal matters.”
Chu Ling usually didn’t speak when she could. Yan Jinyun was a little surprised that she suddenly took the initiative to ask for leave.
During this period of time, Chu Ling had been guarding her for almost 24 hours.
She told Chu Ling not to follow her so closely. It was fine to relax whenever it was appropriate. Chu Ling acted as if she did not hear her.
Personal matters?
Could it be that Chu Ling knew someone in the capital?
Yan Jinyun was thinking when she heard Yan Jinyu say, “There’s no hurry.”
Chu Lin was stunned.
Yan Jinyu continued to smile faintly, “Let’s eat first.”
Chu Ling stared at Yan Jinyu for a few seconds before retracting her gaze. “Alright.”
Her att.i.tude towards Yan Jinyu was still very respectful.
***
Half an hour later, in a high-end restaurant.
In a private room.
After sitting down, they did not order immediately.
“Let’s wait for a while. There’s someone else coming.”
They didn’t know who she was waiting for, but they didn’t ask.
Feng Yuan said, “There’s no hurry. There are still a few minutes until 12 pm. We had breakfast before coming over. We’re not hungry yet.”
A waiter came over to pour tea.
Feng Yuan asked Yan Jinyu about things in school, such as whether she was used to the school and how she interacted with her cla.s.smates.
Yan Jinyu asked more about their situations in their respective companies.
The few of them chatted.
Only Chu Lin did not say a word from the beginning to the end.
She kept looking down.
No one knew what she was thinking.
After about 10 minutes, someone knocked on the door.
She pushed open the door and entered. “Jinyu…”
As soon as she spoke, she saw Chu Ling, who was also sitting in the private room. Chu Xiaohuan was stunned on the spot, “Sister?”
Chu Ling was also stunned when she saw her.
She simply looked at Yan Jinyu.
What else could she not understand?
She had vaguely guessed it when Yan Jinyu asked her to come over for lunch first.
After confirming that she was right, Chu Xiaohuan’s eyes turned red.
Even after so many years, that face was still familiar to her. However, compared to before, there was no longer a smile on her cousin’s face.
“Sister, is that really you?”
Chu Lin had already stood up. She was still expressionless, but one could still see the obvious emotions in her eyes.
“Little Huan, long time no see.”
Chu Xiaohuan pounced over and hugged her, crying loudly.
“Sister, it’s great that you’re still around. You don’t know how much I’ve missed you all these years. There are only Grandfather, Grandmother, and me at home. They’re not in good health either. I don’t dare to tell them anything. I’m just afraid that they’ll be even more worried. I’m too tired alone…”
Chu Lin’s expression changed. She patted her back. “Yes, I’m still here. Everything will be fine in the future.”
She was not strong enough and still owed them a life-saving favor. She thought that they were still young and did not have the advantage when they came back to fight for the inheritance, so she did not return.
She had wanted to wait until they were both 20 years old next year before showing up.
They would have the advantage then.
As for this year, if Miss Yu didn’t appear, she would also leave the underground arena and start to gather the evidence of the mother and daughter. She would come back next year and get rid of them in one go.
However, she did not expect Miss Yu to…
As she thought about it, Chu Ling felt even more grateful to Yan Jinyu.
Chu Xiaohuan didn’t cry for long. She didn’t forget who let her see her cousin, whom she thought was already dead, here.
That day, Jinyu asked her out for the weekend to meet someone.
These few days, she had been busy with the Chu Corporation and didn’t go to school. Hence, she didn’t see Jinyu and didn’t have the chance to ask who Jinyu wanted to bring her to meet.
Jinyu had trapped her aunt and Chu Yiran and created such a good opportunity for her. Of course, she wouldn’t waste it.
She had been contacting the elders of the Chu Corporation these few days and let them see her good spot. In addition, with her grandfather’s help, she had actually already obtained the support of more than half of the people.
As long as her aunt didn’t come back to stop her now, the Chu Corporation would quickly be hers.
However, her aunt had nurtured many trusted aides all these years and she had suddenly gone missing. The information she gave on behalf of the Chu Family was that her aunt was not feeling well and had gone overseas to recuperate.
Of course, her aunt’s trusted aides did not believe her. After all, even if she was recuperating, it was impossible for her to lose contact with them.
They had been asking about her aunt’s whereabouts these few days, but she had brushed them off.
As long as she stabilized the Chu Corporation and took back the power first, the power would be hers in the future. It was up to her how to explain her aunt’s whereabouts.
She let go of Chu Ling. As she wiped her tears, Chu Xiaohuan bowed deeply to Yan Jinyu gratefully, “Jinyu, thank you! Really thank you!”
Chu Ling also bowed deeply. “Thank you, Miss Yu!”
“Now, not only do I owe you my life, but I also owe you a huge favor. After the Chu Family’s matter is resolved, I’ll serve the Yan Corporation for the rest of my life to repay your kindness!”
“We’ll talk about that later. Sit down and eat first.”
As Yan Jinyu spoke, she looked at Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan, who were puzzled and shocked. She handed the menu over, “I’m not sure about your taste. Let’s order first.”
Yan Jinyun, who knew that Yan Jinyu didn’t like to order, took the menu in a daze.
She didn’t forget to look at the two cousins of the Chu Family who had just sat down.
She did not know what was going on, but she could roughly guess it.
Chu Ling’s background wasn’t simple. This girl who had just entered knew Yan Jinyu. It seemed like Yan Jinyu had even helped this girl a great deal.
Yan Jinyu had reunited the long-lost cousins. Chu Lin expressed her loyalty. Yan Jinyu would have another capable subordinate in the future.
***
She ordered the dishes in a daze and finished the meal in a daze.
Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan were sent to the Mount West Villa by Yan Jinyu first. Then, Yan Jinyu left with the two cousins of the Chu Family.
Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan didn’t know what they were going to do.
They were already stunned. Before they could recover, they were shocked by the so-called Mount West Villa.
They thought that the Mount West Villa was just a villa building or a few villas together. They did not expect that it actually occupied more than half a mountain and was bigger than Mount Jing!
Yan Jinyu brought the Chu cousins along and appeared at Qin Hao’s base again.
Chu Ying and Chu Yiran were both here. The purpose of Yan Jinyu keeping them alive was to let the Chu Family torture them themselves.
Then, she could get rid of them.
They had to send someone to guard them if she kept them around.
These few days, Chu Yiran and Chu Ying were locked in the same cell. Although they didn’t fight, the two of them didn’t get along well because of Yan Jinyu’s previous provocation.
Cursing was common.
At the beginning, Chu Yiran scolded Chu Ying for not saving her and in the end, neither of them could leave. Chu Ying even explained nicely to her in the beginning.
Later on, the scolding got worse. The key was that Chu Yiran’s scolding was really too unpleasant. In addition, the environment here was even more unbearable, so Chu Ying scolded back.
Her aura was not inferior to Chu Yiran’s at all. Their quarrel was getting more and more ruthless.
She didn’t sound like her mother. Instead, she sounded like her enemy.
In comparison, the situation in the other cell was not as bad as before without Chu Yiran around.
However, it was not much better.
This damp, dark, and moldy cell was not something delicate people like them could withstand.
“Auntie, Cousin, I’m here to visit you.”
