Chapter 426: Feng Yun’s Mission
A few days later, they arrived in Country Y.
After the hotel check-in procedures were done and the luggage was placed in the room, Tan s.h.i.+yun couldn’t sit still any longer. To be precise, she had been looking forward to coming here before this journey began.
This made her unable to have fun for the past few days.
Before leaving the hotel, Tan s.h.i.+yun decided to inform Yan Jinyu first.
She knocked on her door.
The door quickly opened from the inside.
“Looking for me?”
Tan s.h.i.+yun nodded.
“Come in and sit.”
However, Tan s.h.i.+yun stood still. “I’m not going in. I’m just here to tell you that I won’t be joining you for the rest of my journey in Country Y. If anyone asks, just say that I have a family friend who’s sick at the last minute. I’ll go over to visit her. I’ll meet you when you guys want to leave Country Y.”
“You’re going to the Jones Family?”
“Yes.” Tan s.h.i.+yun didn’t intend to hide it either.
She knew very well that even if she didn’t say it, Yan Jinyu would definitely be able to guess it.
Suddenly, Yan Jinyu looked past her. “I think you don’t have to go to the Jones Family.”
Tan s.h.i.+yun quickly turned back.
Indeed, there was someone standing behind her.
It was Bo Lang.
He glanced at Tan s.h.i.+yun first in silence. Then, he turned to Yan Jinyu and took the initiative to greet her, “Eldest Miss Yan.”
Although his expression was still cold, he was no longer as distant as before.
Probably because they were cooperating now.
Yan Jinyu nodded slightly. “Young Master Bo.”
Bo Lang looked at Tan s.h.i.+yun and said seriously, “s.h.i.+yun, you shouldn’t have come.”
“The Jones Family’s infighting is serious now. It’s not safe for you to come to Country Y…”
At that moment, Yan Jinyu suddenly interrupted him, “I think it’s better for you guys to come in and talk about such issues?”
Bo Lang looked no different from before. His expression was cold and calm, but he was actually nervous now.
He was worried that Tan s.h.i.+yun would be in danger if she appeared in Country Y now, so he didn’t even notice his surroundings and said this in the corridor.
Bo Lang and Tan s.h.i.+yun were stunned when Yan Jinyu reminded them.
They had both forgotten that they were still in the corridor.
“Sorry to disturb you then,” Bo Lang said to Yan Jinyu.
The few of them sat down on the sofa. Yan Jinyu said, “Since Young Master Bo knew the moment we arrived in Country Y and could appear here, I’m sure the situation with the Jones Family is about to be settled.”
“I haven’t congratulated Young Master Bo yet.”
“Eldest Miss Yan, you must be joking.”
“I’m here to see both s.h.i.+yun and Eldest Miss Yan.”
“I have a guess. I think it’s better to tell Eldest Miss Yan.” He frowned slightly when he said this. It was probably his so-called guess that made him feel so conflicted.
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly. “Young Master Bo, are you trying to say that you’ve seized power so smoothly because Lind Jones is helping you secretly and deliberately giving you the power?”
Bo Lang looked at her in surprise.
She actually guessed it before he even said anything.
Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Young Master Bo, don’t be surprised. This is very easy to guess. Not only me, s.h.i.+yun actually had such doubts before this too.”
Bo Lang looked at Tan s.h.i.+yun in surprise before understanding it immediately.
That was true. It was not difficult to guess. It did not seem strange that they could guess it.
Lind Jones had been in charge of the Jones Family for so many years and was in such a family that valued orthodoxy. Bo Lang was an illegitimate son who had no power in the family. How could he seize power so easily?
If Lind Jones hadn’t done it on purpose, it was hard to say if he would still be alive after staying in Country Y for so many days, let alone taking over the Jones Family’s power in such a short time.
After all, he couldn’t fight the entire Jones Family alone.
She smiled bitterly. “Since Eldest Miss Yan has said so, it seems like it’s almost certain. I wished I could kill him previously, but now, he’s telling me that he took the initiative to give me power and even gave it to me without a trace. He makes me feel that I did it with my own ability.”
“This feeling is really uncomfortable.”
Tan s.h.i.+yun could tell that he was feeling uncomfortable. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn’t know what to say. In the end, she kept quiet.
Yan Jinyu only maintained a faint smile.
She didn’t say anything either.
After a while, Bo Lang calmed down and asked Yan Jinyu, “I have something to inform Eldest Miss Yan.”
Yan Jinyu leaned lazily on the sofa. She played with her phone and gestured for him to continue.
“Previously, Eldest Miss Yan must have seen Lind Jones in the Feng Family. How did he react? Is he any different from before? Can you tell what he’s planning to do?”
“Since Young Master Bo asked, it means that you already have a guess. Since that’s the case, why ask when you already know the answer?”
Bo Lang seemed to be a little shocked as he muttered, “H-he really…”
“Young Master Bo, there’s no need to be like this. Speaking of which, I’ve only met Lind Jones in the Feng Family once and didn’t interact much with him. How could I know what he wants to do?”
“Perhaps, those who were loyal to him in the past couldn’t stand his pervertness and helped you seize power?”
Bo Lang smiled bitterly.
That was impossible.
In the early years, Lane Jones was even more perverted and yet he had so many supporters in the family, let alone Lind Jones, who was less perverted than Jones.
“Then, does Eldest Miss Yan know where he is now?”
“I don’t know.”
Yan Jinyu said, “But I’m guessing that he should still be with Liu Guang.” She smiled faintly, as if she didn’t care where Liu Guang and the others were.
“Eldest Miss Yan can’t find them?” Bo Lang frowned deeply. If even she couldn’t find them, it would be even harder for the others to find Liu Guang and the others’ whereabouts.
She chuckled and shook her head casually. “No.”
“I haven’t investigated them since they left the Feng Family.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to speak, Yan Jinyu smiled and said, “Liu Guang has chips in his hands. I don’t dare to act rashly.”
“…” The two of them.
It was true that she did not act rashly, but they did not believe that she did not dare to.
Yan Jinyu said with a faint smile, “On the other hand, Young Master Bo, could it be that you’re thinking that he deliberately gave you power, so you’ll return the Jones Family to him when he returns ?”
Bo Lang moved his lips but didn’t deny it immediately.
“Ha.”
“I don’t care who is in charge of your Jones Family and whether you will return the power to him. I just hope that Young Master Bo doesn’t forget the cooperative condition that we had previously agreed on—the Jones Family will support the Empire Group to expand its market in Country Y.”
Bo Lang knew that she wasn’t joking.
He had never thought that the conditions of their cooperation back then would be canceled. He did not have the ability to openly go against her either.
“Of course I won’t forget. Eldest Miss Yan, you can rest a.s.sured about that. No matter who is in charge of the Jones Family in the future, we will do our best to help the Empire Group expand the market in Country Y.”
“Besides, I don’t think I’m a good person. I might not return the power to him,” Bo Lang said self-deprecatingly.
“Of course, it’s another matter if he has the ability to s.n.a.t.c.h it again.”
“I just said that I’m not interested in the internal affairs of your Jones Family. Did Young Master Bo come here for these two matters?”
“Not entirely. I still want to express my stand to Eldest Miss Yan personally.”
“More than half of the Jones Family’s power is in my hands now. If Eldest Miss Yan needs help when facing an enemy, just tell me.”
“Although I don’t know what Lind Jones is trying to do, I can sense Liu Guang’s ambition. I understand the logic of ‘when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold’. In order to prevent Liu Guang from attacking us in the future and not even letting the Bo Family off, I don’t mind taking the initiative to attack.”
“I really want to cooperate with Eldest Miss Yan.”
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly. “I’ve always felt that even if we didn’t say it out explicitly, our goals are still the same.”
“Indeed, we have the same goal,” Tan s.h.i.+yun replied.
She agreed with Bo Lang’s words. If it wasn’t for Jinyu and the people around Jinyu, she really couldn’t think of anyone who could go against Liu Guang.
She agreed with Jinyu. Their goals were the same.
Putting aside the safety of the Bo Family, she already treated Jinyu as a friend.
Even if she was not very capable, she would not stand by and do nothing when her friend was in trouble.
“No matter what, I still want to express my sincerity personally,” Bo Lang said and looked at Tan s.h.i.+yun. “s.h.i.+yun…”
Before he could finish speaking, Tan s.h.i.+yun interrupted him.
“I won’t go back for the time being. Since the Jones Family’s situation is still stable and you won’t be in danger for the time being, I’m relieved.”
“Since I’m here on a vacation with everyone, there’s no reason for me to leave the group early. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful myself. We’re just on an ordinary trip. I believe the Jones Family won’t target me just like that. Even if they do, I still have the ability to protect myself.”
“Besides…” Tan s.h.i.+yun gestured for him to look at Yan Jinyu. She smiled and said, “I think the Jones Family won’t be so tactless as to provoke Jinyu when she’s around.”
Of course, Bo Lang knew that the Jones Family didn’t dare to provoke Yan Jinyu in front of her, if they knew who Yan Jinyu was. However, he also knew that someone like Yan Jinyu didn’t like to poke her nose into other people’s business. If anything really happened…
He actually wanted to tell Yan Jinyu to help take care of Tan s.h.i.+yun on the account that the two of them were still cooperating with her, but he retracted his words.
He couldn’t judge Yan Jinyu’s temper and was afraid that it would be counterproductive instead.
“You… Just know your limits. Call me if you need anything.”
Of course, with Yan Jinyu’s temper, she wouldn’t stand out and say that with her around, she could guarantee that Tan s.h.i.+yun would be fine. Regardless of whether she would make a move if something really happened.
From the beginning to the end, she maintained a faint smile.
***
In a certain courtyard in the capital.
“It’s already been half a month. When can I see my mother?” In the living room, Feng Yun was wearing a long white robe. He stood and looked at Liu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa and wiping a dagger. His tone was faint, and no emotions could be detected.
It seemed like he had just come downstairs.
This was their residence after they came to the capital from Cloud City. It was not a big residence, but it was heavily guarded. Liu Guang must have bought it long ago.
Seeing that Liu Guang had been very calm since he came to the capital and lived in this residence, Feng Yun knew that he definitely still had a trump card that he had not exposed.
This was naturally not Liu Guang’s base of operations.
Liu Guang looked up and played with the dagger in his hand, “When it’s time for you to see her, I’ll naturally let you see her.”
“I didn’t expect you to stay here quietly for so many days. It seems like your cultivation all these years has been useful.”
His words sounded like praise, but they were actually mocking him.
“It’s very simple to see your mother. Help me kill someone. I’ll naturally let you see her when you complete the mission.”
After saying that, Liu Guang stood up and sat in the wheelchair at the side. Liu Yu came down from upstairs and helped him push the wheelchair.
“Who should I kill?” Feng Yun still had not much of an expression on his face. His gentlemanly aura was not affected at all by the current situation.
“You look very calm. Aren’t you worried that I’ll let you kill your ‘own people’?”
Feng Yun looked at him. “Who should I kill?”
