The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 342 - The Upheaval in North City

Chapter 342: The Upheaval in North City

“Master Nine, Miss Yu is only lightly injured. She can recover after a few days.” The female doctor didn’t dare to look at her too much. It was said that she was going to help Miss Yu take a look at her injuries, but in reality, Master Nine was the one who cleaned and applied the medicine.

His actions were very careful as if he was afraid of waking the sleeping person up.

This was the first time she had seen such a gentle Master Nine.

Of course, she wasn’t naive enough to think that Master Nine had changed. The obvious bite mark on Miss Yu’s shoulder was the best proof.

Miss Yu was already injured, but Master Nine was still so ruthless.

Moreover, she had only taken one more look at the bite mark when Master Nine’s cold gaze swept over. She was so frightened that she quickly retracted her gaze. She wished she could find something to cover her eyes immediately.

She was a woman. Master Nine’s possessiveness was too…

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

“Yes.” Yin Jiujin didn’t look at her. He kept looking at the person who had finished applying the medicine and changed into a nightdress to sleep on the bed.

The female doctor retreated and even closed the door considerately.

Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng were waiting downstairs.

Seeing the female doctor come down, Aunt Cheng quickly stood up and asked, “How is it? Is Miss Yu seriously injured?”

“It’s just a light injury. I’ve already applied medicine. Master Nine will take care of it. It’s very late. Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, go and rest first. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Then, the three of them turned off the lights in the living room and returned to their rooms.

In the room upstairs.

Yin Jiujin sat by the bed and stared at Yan Jinyu. He raised his hand and caressed her face. After a long while, he stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The hot water from the shower poured down from above. Yin Jiujin didn’t avoid it. He closed his eyes and let the water wash over his face.

He had expected the young lady to use the method of luring the snake out of its hole when he got Lin Zimu to find out some information last night. Naturally, he was angry because the young lady had actually acted privately without him knowing.

However, compared to being angry, he was more worried and anxious.

Hence, he finished his work overnight and brought forward his meeting with the client to two in the afternoon.

Even if the other party wanted to attack, it would definitely be at night.

He had calculated the time. He would meet with the client at two. After the negotiation in half an hour, he would be on the plane at three.

They could reach North City in three hours.

Since he had expected that the other party would choose to make a move at night, there was definitely enough time.

However, he had never expected the flight to be delayed.

He was overseas, and it happened to be a country where his company’s business had just started. He did not have much say there. Hence, even if he had to use a private plane at the last minute, it had taken him a lot of time and that was why he came so late.

It was naturally an extremely important business that could make him appear personally.

The Empire Group had been preparing for a year to break into that country’s market.

He did not want this year’s preparations to be wasted.

That wasn’t his effort alone. It was the result of a year of hard work by his employees.

However, if the time was reversed, he knew that the flight would be delayed and he would definitely abandon the work there and rush back.

So what if it was a year of preparation?

Nothing was more important than her.

He was so close. If he had been a second later, the young lady would have…

Seeing Huo Xuan, he didn’t feel jealous like before. All he felt was gratitude.

He knew very well that if Huo Xuan wasn’t around, the young lady’s situation might have been even worse.

Hence, he didn’t care how Huo Xuan knew about the young lady’s situation and why he was willing to risk his life for her.

At least this time, he didn’t mind at all.

Yes, with the young lady’s skills, it was not difficult for her to survive, but that was all. She would definitely be seriously injured if she faced so many people alone.

Besides, what if?

What if she wasn’t just seriously injured…

He had actually asked Cheng Lin to bring people to help the young lady long ago, but the other party was obviously fully prepared. They were guarding his people and blocking his people on the road.

They were unable to rush over to help.

Fortunately, he had asked a few people to protect the young lady secretly before. Otherwise, wouldn’t the young lady be really alone?

She was probably used to fighting alone and did not know to call for help.

Even if she hid it from him, didn’t she have a few trusted partners?

It didn’t matter if she was confident in her strength and felt that nothing would happen, or if she didn’t want to drag others into danger. The young lady’s habit of facing the enemy alone was obviously not good.

He would definitely make her change that in the future.

Fortunately, the young lady was fine this time. Otherwise, he would probably never be able to forgive himself for choosing to go on a business trip at such a critical moment.

In fact, Yin Jiujin’s thoughts were too complicated.

Yan Jinyu really didn’t intend to make a move so early. She only had the thought of luring the snake out of its hole because she happened to have this opportunity.

If Yin Jiujin had always been in North City, she wouldn’t have attacked so quickly. Because of Yin Jiujin’s presence, due to his fear of Yin Jiujin, the other party probably wouldn’t attack so easily.

After showering and drying his hair, Yin Jiujin found a bathrobe and put it on. He didn’t sleep immediately, even though he hadn’t slept the entire night.

He walked to the bed and bent down to kiss Yan Jinyu’s forehead lightly. Then, he picked up his phone and walked to the balcony.

“Use all the manpower, financial, and material resources of our branch company in Country Y to suppress the businesses that the Jones Family is involved in. Even if the Empire Group can’t continue its business in Country Y anymore! Even if we can’t destroy the Jones Family, we have to skin it alive!”

The person who received the call was the person in charge of the Empire Group’s Country Y branch company.

The person in charge of the branch didn’t know the situation, but he didn’t dare or disobey Yin Jiujin’s orders. “Yes, Master Nine!”

He hung up and dialed another number.

Qin Hao was not angry when he was woken up by the phone in the middle of the night. Instead, he became sober instantly and had a serious expression.

Because this call was from Yin Jiujin.

Qin Hao knew very well that unless there was something extremely important, Yin Jiujin definitely wouldn’t call him so late.

“Second Yin, what’s the matter?”

“Do me a favor.”

It was even rarer for Yin Jiujin to ask him for help.

Qin Hao was even more certain that something was amiss.

He had been in camp for the past few days and didn’t know that Huo Siyu had already left the capital and gone to North City. If he knew, he could guess what was going on without Yin Jiujin saying anything.

“Speak.”

“Tell me all the information you have about Ghost Slaughter. At the same time, investigate the whereabouts of those people from Ghost Slaughter that managed to survive. Then, investigate who else and the families they might be related to in the country.”

Qin Hao didn’t ask him why he was saying this.

He knew that it must be related to Yan Jinyu.

If it was related to Yan Jinyu, it was related to his little fiancée. Even if Yin Jiujin wasn’t his brother, he would definitely interfere in this matter.

“Although my job is special and the missions I carry out are also more special, I really don’t have much information about Ghost Slaughter. In the early years, it was already very difficult to find information about Ghost Slaughter Island, let alone now that Ghost Slaughter Island has been destroyed for three years, so there’s even less information about it.”

“As for investigating those people’s whereabouts, my people have been investigating since the Min Family’s banquet. I know you’ve also sent people to investigate. You didn’t find any useful information, so naturally, I didn’t find much either. However, there’s already some progress.”

“After those people left the capital, they seemed to have gone to Cloud City.”

“However, they completely disappeared after they arrived in Cloud City.”

“Then investigate Cloud City. Dig three feet into the ground. I don’t believe you can’t find them!”

Even through the phone, Qin Hao could hear Yin Jiujin’s anger.

Qin Hao didn’t ask further. He would know what happened when he investigated.

“Yes, I’ll send more people.”

Yin Jiujin would also send more people.

After hanging up, Yin Jiujin called Lin Zimu.

Lin Zimu was instructing someone to track those three people.

“Boss.” Lin Zimu wasn’t like Yin Jiujin. Although he had also stayed up late to work last night, he had slept for two hours on the way back on the plane. Yin Jiujin was too worried about Yan Jinyu, so he couldn’t sleep at all.

Hence, Lin Zimu still had the energy to do his work now.

“The situation.”

Lin Zimu reported truthfully, “The other party has a lot of people. We have a few batches of people who went against them and delayed some time, but we’ve captured everyone we met. It’s just that we still can’t find any traces of the three main characters.”

“Interrogate the people that you caught!”

“As for those three people, continue to chase after them. Two of them are injured and the main roads are blocked. It’s impossible for them to leave North City. We have to find them even if we have to dig three feet into the ground!”

“Yes, Boss!”

After hanging up, Yin Jiujin stood on the balcony for a few minutes to calm his anger before returning to his room.

He lay down and pulled Yan Jinyu into his arms.

That night, North City was turned upside down.

Master Nine used all his subordinates to search in North City, making everyone panic.

No family slept soundly, afraid that the person Master Nine was searching for was related to their family and would implicate the entire family.

In total, Lin Zimu led his men and captured nearly 100 people from the other party.

Yes, nearly 100 people.

It was obvious that the other party also went all out!

Almost half of the nearly 100 people died in the fight, and the rest were more or less injured.

He thought that he could interrogate them and find something useful. He did not expect that those people would be poisoned to death as soon as he brought them back.

It was very old-fashioned. There was poison between their teeth.

It was 5:30 am when Yin Jiujin received the news.

Yan Jinyu was still asleep.

Yin Jiujin didn’t get up. He put his phone away and hugged Yan Jinyu again.

He continued to close his eyes and sleep.

He had already expected that the interrogation would fail.

What he did not expect was those people were actually willing to commit suicide by poison.

They did not hesitate to commit suicide by poison. Perhaps, they would probably be punished even more even if they could return alive when they were caught after failing the mission.

***

Yan Jinyu woke up on time at six o’clock.

Seeing that Yin Jiujin was still asleep, she didn’t move.

She knew very well that Yin Jiujin would take at least three days to return from his business trip, but he had returned so quickly.

The lights in the car were brighter when the two of them were in the car. She saw a hint of dark shadow under Yin Jiujin’s eyes. He clearly hadn’t slept well.

She got up quietly.

Yin Jiujin was already vigilant and he showed signs of opening his eyes when Yan Jinyu moved.

Yan Jinyu hurriedly leaned over and kissed his cheek before whispering in his ear, “Brother Nine, sleep a little more.”

Yin Jiujin exerted force and pulled her back. Without opening his eyes, he kissed her face based on his intuition before burying his head in her neck. “Accompany me.”

Yan Jinyu was helpless. She let him hug her waist and bury his face in her neck. She looked up and caressed his hair.

Forget it. She’ll call Little Rain to ask about the hospital later.
