Chapter 229: The People Who Caused Trouble
She placed her hand behind her back stiffly and gestured in a certain direction.
The next second, someone shouted, “Catch the thief! Catch the thief!”
Then, there were people chasing after them.
A group of people chased after someone.
They were coming towards them.
Qin Bailu, who was feeling smug, didn’t see the faint smile on Yan Jinyu’s lips.
She had done that on purpose. She did not want to be surrounded by people talking strangely while shopping.
She wanted her to show her the necklace. Who the heck was Qin Bailu?
She couldn’t be bothered to wait anymore.
Qin Bailu couldn’t help but lose her cool with just one glance.
It was good that she had made a move. She wanted to see if there was anyone else besides Qin Bailu who came to find trouble with her.
She wanted to see if she could find out the person behind the kidnapping many years ago.
“Yu’er, move!”
A group of people rushed over. They were standing at the staircase entrance of the second floor where the escalator was going to the third floor. Beside them was a railing. The railing wasn’t high, so it was very dangerous for this group of people to rush over. Qin Jianjia panicked, and as she spoke, she reached out to pull Yan Jinyu.
As for Min Sisi and Qin Bailu, they were standing in the corridor. Even if someone bumped into them, they would at most be knocked down the stairs.
“Catch the thief! The people over there, help catch the thief!”
Qin Bailu stopped in the middle of the road to “help stop the thief” when she heard the shout.
In the end, Qin Bailu was naturally knocked away and pounced towards Yan Jinyu.
The scene was extremely chaotic and crowded.
However, Yan Jinyu wasn’t affected at all.
She frowned slightly.
Was this all there was to it?
She had a feeling that it was more than that.
A slight turn and Qin Bailu fell onto the railing. She didn’t fall on her. At the same time, Yan Jinyu even accidentally bumped behind her. Her elbow hit the back of Qin Bailu’s neck, and she gritted her teeth in pain.
However, Yan Jinyu ignored her.
Indeed, her feeling was right. Someone in the crowd took out a sharp dagger and quickly stabbed it at her.
In such a crowded situation, the other party felt that she was a weak person who could easily take her life.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated her.
She easily grabbed the person’s wrist. The dagger was in her hand.
The next second, the dagger was aimed at the man’s neck. The man looked shocked.
The people who were chasing the thief quickly ran past, and the corridor became much emptier.
Other than the four of them and the person Yan Jinyu had captured, there were four other men standing at the side.
Hence, this scene was especially obvious.
Many people saw it.
They were definitely shocked.
They stopped chasing the thief and stopped to look. Probably because they were too shocked, no one said anything for a long time.
Qin Bailu was also shocked.
She held her aching neck and looked at the dagger in Yan Jinyu’s hand in surprise.
She clearly only said that she would knock Yan Jinyu down the stairs without a trace. She didn’t let these people use the knife openly. Why…
This was the Empire Mall, Master Nine’s territory. She would be stupid to be so obvious!
Did these people make their own decisions, or did Mom have other plans?
No matter what was going on with these people, now was not the time for her to think too much.
Her goal was to kill Yan Jinyu, but Yan Jinyu was obviously not harmed at all. Her people were controlled by Yan Jinyu instead!
It was too crowded. Was Yan Jinyu lucky to not be injured and happened to snatch the other party’s dagger, or did Yan Jinyu really have some skills?
“Yu’er…”
However, those people’s goal was to kill Yan Jinyu. Seeing that not only was Yan Jinyu fine, but she had also restrained their people, of course, they couldn’t just leave.
They all stopped in their tracks and looked at Yan Jinyu warily.
From Qin Bailu’s reaction, Yan Jinyu had already gotten the answer she wanted.
However, none of that mattered.
Most importantly, these people were not the only ones who wanted to kill her!
They were quite bold to attack openly in the Empire Mall!
However, it was an unexpected gain for her.
She smiled at Qin Jianjia comfortingly. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. It’s fine. Brother Nine taught me two moves. Just now, when there were many people, the other party underestimated me and I gained the upper hand.”
Then, she moved closer to Qin Bailu surreptitiously.
Then, with a wave of her left hand, something flew out from her left wrist and blocked the thing that was heading towards Qin Jianjia’s head.
She was so fast that Qin Jianjia couldn’t see her clearly.
However, she saw that the thing that was shattered was a bullet!
Someone in the crowd had a gun!
And they even wanted to kill her!
If it wasn’t for Yu’er, would she have…
Her legs went limp and she almost slid down to sit down. Fortunately, she had cultivated a temperament for many years. Coupled with her background and experience, she was not inexperienced, so she stabilized herself.
Before she could be shocked, in the blink of an eye, she saw Yan Jinyu kick the man in front of her away. At the same time, the dagger in her hand flew towards the crowd!
“Argh—” It hit someone!
Yan Jinyu also leaped out. With a kick at each of them, those people were kicked to the ground. She then went into the shocked crowd.
She stepped on the person who had been stabbed and bent down to pick up the small gun in his hand.
She spun it in her hand and looked down at the person she had stepped on. “You’re quite bold.”
It had actually not even been half a minute since Yan Jinyu blocked the bullet, subdued these people, and snatched the gun!
Other than her, everyone had yet to recover from their shock. It was obvious how fast she was.
“There’s a gun!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Yan Jinyu glanced over. “Be quiet.”
No one dared to speak again.
The few people standing beside the gunman hurriedly retreated when they saw the dagger suddenly flying towards the man’s heart and falling to the ground.
They were all frightened.
That was a gun! The person with the gun was standing beside them!
It was too scary!
There was a silencer on the gun. If the other party fired a shot secretly, they wouldn’t have known!
It seemed like the gun was not fake!
They broke out in cold sweat.
Yan Jinyu aimed the gun at that person’s head and asked, “Whose men are you?”
The man held his chest which was stabbed and did not answer her question. He only looked at her in fear, “Y-you are…”
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly.
He didn’t know her before, but he only recognized her after she blocked the bullet?
From the looks of it, that seemed to be the case. However, they would only know if it was true after the interrogation.
After all, if he didn’t know her, he wouldn’t have attacked Qin Jianjia first to divert her attention so that she wouldn’t notice him immediately. Unfortunately, he had underestimated her strength. He didn’t expect her to stop him from firing his second shot immediately.
At this moment, the person in charge of the Empire Mall led a group of people up.
They arrived in less than two minutes. That was considered fast.
“Who dares to cause trouble in the Empire Mall!”
The person-in-charge shouted. The first thing he saw was the frightened crowd. Then, he saw the five men who were lying there and Min Sisi and Qin Bailu, who were staring at Yan Jinyu in shock. Then, he saw Qin Jianjia.
Startled, he hurriedly stepped forward. “Eldest Young Madam Yin, are you alright? Why…”
Before he could finish asking, he saw Yan Jinyu holding a gun with a silencer and stepping on someone.
He was completely shocked. “M-Miss Yu?”
This person-in-charge was a member on the training ground at the Mount West Villa yesterday. He had seen Yan Jinyu.
Yan Jinyu looked up and nodded slightly. “Mmm.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Yu. We let you encounter such a thing in your own homeground.” He didn’t ask what had happened first, but instead stated that he had failed his duty.
Yan Jinyu retracted her foot calmly.
“You can’t be blamed for this. These people came with a plan.”
“Bring them all back to the Mount West Villa and interrogate them slowly.”
“I want to see who instigated them to cause trouble at the Empire Mall.” She did not say that they were targeting her, but the person in charge of the mall was not stupid. He naturally could tell.
The reason why Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything was because she didn’t want to disturb these customers too much.
“Also, check the surveillance cameras and bring back the thief who caused trouble and the people who might be his accomplices.”
Hence, someone in the crowd turned pale.
Some were frightened because they were guilty, while others were completely afraid of being implicated.
Even though most of them were ordinary citizens, there were very few people in the capital who didn’t know Master Nine’s name, especially when Master Nine caused such a huge commotion in the capital a while ago.
He was the person in charge of the Empire Mall in the capital after all. She still had some courage. “Bring anyone who runs away in a panic away!”
“Everyone, don’t panic. No one wants to see such a thing happen in the mall. We won’t let anyone who dares to cause trouble in the Empire Mall go. However, if you’re not someone who had caused trouble and were frightened because of this, as compensation, all expenses in the Empire Mall today will be 20% off.”
“Of course, this is only part of the compensation. Those who have a mall membership or are willing to go on an in-name basis will have three chances to get a 10% discount when they come back to the Empire Mall to spend in the future.”
“Is it really 20% off? All the merchandise?” a rich lady in the crowd asked.
“Yes, 20% off for all the merchandise.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
All the products were 20% off!
There were even three more chances to get a 10% discount for all expenses in the future!
This was not just one or two items being discounted, but all the merchandise!
The things sold in the Empire Mall were not cheap. Any discount could save a lot of money!
Who would care if they were frightened?
“However, before that, no one is allowed to leave the Empire Mall for half an hour. After we check the surveillance cameras and catch all the suspicious people, you can go anywhere you want. It won’t take long. Half an hour is enough.”
“Of course, we won’t force them to stop us. If anyone leaves the Empire Mall in half an hour, it’s hard to say if they’ll be arrested as suspects or be on the Empire Mall’s blacklist forever.”
Carrot and stick.
There was a saying that the discount might not be a loss. They could even make more with the increase in sales volume.
These customers had been frightened, so they might not dare to come to the Empire Mall again. Hence, he would use 10% off for the next three shopping trips to keep them. Perhaps, in order to take advantage of that small discount, these people would call their family and friends over to buy as much as they could for the next shopping trip.
This method was indeed smart.
Yan Jinyu thought, No wonder Yin Jiujin could expand his business so big in just a few years. Everyone under him was capable, so how could his business not be big?
Yes, she was a little smug.
Such a formidable person was hers.
