The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

“What did you find?” Yan Jinyu usually didn’t pay much attention to Xi Fengling and Min Rufeng’s actions, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t know anything.

Even if she didn’t investigate in detail, based on her understanding of the two of them, Yan Jinyu knew that they had spent three years planning before they started to act. Something must have stopped them during this period of time.

Yan Jinyu knew that they had been investigating the cause of Old Master Min’s death for the past three years. With their capabilities, if it was only the Min Family who made the move, they would have found out long ago.

Hence, she had long guessed that someone else had killed Old Master Min.

It was just that she did not ask too much.

In her opinion, no matter who the killer was, Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling were enough to deal with him.

Until Xi Fengling appeared in North City.

Did Xi Fengling come to North City personally to settle that small matter from Elegant Bamboo?

Of course not.

Why did Xi Fengling have to personally handle such a small matter?

To visit Yan Jinyu in North City?

That was even more impossible.

Yan Jinyu had already said that she didn’t want them to come to North City. It was also at the critical moment when Min Rufeng started to attack the Min Family. It wasn’t a big deal, so there was no need for Xi Fengling to make a trip to North City personally at this time.

With the tacit understanding that they had cultivated over the years and Yan Jinyu’s quick thinking, she quickly realized that there must be a reason behind Old Master Min’s death that forced Xi Fengling to personally come to North City to discuss with her.

Xi Fengling smiled. “As expected of Beauty Yu. I haven’t even shown anything, but you’ve already noticed so much.”

She glanced at Yin Jiujin, who was still sitting there. It seemed like Beauty Yu didn’t intend to avoid Yin Jiujin.

Forget it. Beauty Yu wasn’t someone who trusted others easily. Since she trusted Yin Jiujin so much, her companions who had gone through life and death together with her naturally wouldn’t doubt him.

“Old Master Min’s death seems to be related to Ghost Slaughter Island.”

When she said that, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin both looked at her.

After that, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin looked at each other before turning their gazes to Xi Fengling. Their smiles remained, but their eyes darkened. “You’re saying, Ghost Slaughter Island?”

“Yes, although we didn’t find any conclusive evidence, Old Master Min’s death back then was indeed related to Ghost Slaughter Island.”

“Old Master Min suddenly passed away when he used all his connections to find Min Rufeng.”

“The Min Family said that Old Master Min passed away because he was too sad that Min Rufeng was lost.”

“In fact, other than Min Guili, Meng An, and Min Nan, even Min Xiangbei and Min Ting had never seen Old Master Min’s body. It was said that on that day, Min Xiangbei had brought Min Ting to the cemetery to pay respects to his deceased wife. When he received the news and returned to the Min Family, Old Master Min was already cremated, leaving only a pile of ashes.”

Min Guili was Old Master Min’s eldest son and also Min Rufeng’s father. Meng An was Min Guili’s wife and also Min Nan’s mother.

“If Old Master Min really passed away from illness, there was no need for Min Guili’s family to cremate him in such a hurry so that Min Xiangbei wouldn’t even be able to see Old Master one last time. Min Xiangbei’s wife was buried in the capital. It would take only a maximum of three hours to drive from the cemetery to the Min Family.”

Obviously, Old Master Min had not died of a normal illness.

“Ghost Slaughter Island has never been gentle with their actions. They must have left traces on the corpse.”

“And the reason why Ghost Slaughter Island is in such a hurry to get rid of Old Master Min might be because…”

“It has something to do with Feng,” Yan Jinyu replied with a narrating tone.

At the same time, her eyes darkened.

Xi Fengling exhaled lightly. “Yes.” Even she didn’t dare to think in that direction because the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a conspiracy.

It was a shocking scheme.

In order to not let Old Master Min find out where Min Rufeng was, he killed Old Master Min! That was the head of the Min Family, one of the three top families in the capital. He was not a small character. Furthermore, Old Master Min had the ability to investigate Ghost Slaughter Island back then. It was obvious that he was not a simple person.

It would take a huge risk to kill him.

Ghost Slaughter Island did not hesitate to take this risk just to make Min Rufeng stay!

As for why they wanted to keep Min Rufeng and not because they were afraid that Old Master Min would find out about Ghost Slaughter Island and expose its existence, that was because even if Ghost Slaughter Island was about to be found by Old Master Min, Ghost Slaughter Island had no intention of letting Min Rufeng go.

Clearly, as long as they let Min Rufeng go, they could resolve the risk of being exposed at that time.

Afraid that after letting Min Rufeng go, Min Rufeng would leak the existence of Ghost Slaughter Island?

Wouldn’t it be fine if they simply killed Min Rufeng and threw his corpse out of Ghost Slaughter Island so that the Min Family could find his corpse?

That year, Min Rufeng was 10 years old. Other than his natural talent in medicine, he had no skills at all. Killing him was much easier than killing the head of the Min Family!

Xi Fengling couldn’t imagine what would have happened if they hadn’t planned to destroy Ghost Slaughter Island.

Everything was too coincidental!

Beauty Yu was the fiancée of the Yin Family’s Second Young Master. Little Rain was the daughter of the Huo Family in South City and the fiancée of the Qin Family’s Eldest Young Master in the capital. Min Rufeng was the Second Young Master of the Min Family.

Among the four of them, only her background was slightly ordinary. She was an ordinary orphan.

What exactly did that person Ghost Slaughter Island want from the beginning?!

Perhaps she was thinking too much?

After all, even if they were brought to Ghost Slaughter Island back then, they had survived countless near-death battles. That person could not guarantee that they would survive until the end…

Yan Jinyu naturally thought of this too.

Of course, the naturally sharp Yin Jiujin had also thought of it.

After a long silence, Yan Jinyu said, “It’s a coincidence.”

Yin Jiujin and Xi Fengling were puzzled.

Yan Jinyu restrained the emotions in her eyes and said, “I still remember what happened before we arrived at Ghost Slaughter Island. The person who brought me to Ghost Slaughter Island was actually trying to get me to make up the numbers.”

“This was what he said when he met me near the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs of North City. He probably thought that I was young, injured, exhausted, and about to faint, so I couldn’t hear him. Even if I heard him, I wouldn’t understand him. So, he said to himself, ‘I didn’t catch that child. Since there’s one here, I might be less punished if I bring her back.’”

She spoke calmly, but Yin Jiujin’s heart clenched.

Wasn’t the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs of North City the place where the young lady was brought by the kidnappers? That was where the second daughter of the Yan Family was redeemed by the Yan Family. In other words, that was the place where the Yan Family called the police and caused the kidnappers to kill her after redeeming their second daughter!

She was on the verge of losing consciousness…

In other words, the girl had escaped from the kidnappers on her own!

The girl was only two years old then…

It was said that the kidnappers were two men!

When they arrived after calling the police, there was nothing left on the second floor of the abandoned factory except a pool of blood.

The two elders of the Yan Family had many guesses about this.

Firstly, and the worst guess was that the girl was already… gone.

Secondly, the young lady was taken away by the kidnappers and then led a wandering life outside.

Thirdly, the girl was saved. That was the best outcome.

However, no one expected a two-year-old girl could save herself and even succeeded!

As he thought about it, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Yan Jinyu’s waist, pulling her tightly against him.

His thin lips were pursed tightly and his expression was dark.

If those two kidnappers weren’t dead, he would definitely make them suffer…

Suddenly, Yin Jiujin paused.

Dead?

The Yan Family had found out about it a few months after the young lady was kidnapped and disappeared. It was said that they had met a formidable opponent and were dealt with. However, his intuition told him that things should not be that simple.

If the two kidnappers’ deaths were not simple, then the young lady being kidnapped might…

It seemed like he had to investigate this matter properly.

Previously, he only cared about finding the young lady’s whereabouts. After bringing her back to North City, he thought about how the kidnappers back then were already dead and so he didn’t investigate what happened back then in detail.

At first, he was busy dealing with the trouble that Huo Xuan had created and didn’t have the time to investigate. Later on, after he returned to North City and learned that the young lady didn’t seem to be as simple as she seemed, he didn’t think of investigating further.

It wasn’t that he did not want to investigate what happened back then, but he did not want to investigate her.

He was afraid that the young lady would think too much when she found out, so he simply didn’t investigate. He thought that if the young lady wanted him to know, she would naturally tell him.

He had been too careless over this matter.

Yan Jinyu naturally sensed the change in Yin Jiujin’s emotions. She raised her head and smiled at him before placing her hand on his hand that was wrapped around her waist as a form of consolation.

She looked at Xi Fengling and continued the topic, “Back then, they probably only saw Feng’s medical talent. So many people enter Ghost Slaughter Island every year, but there aren’t many descendants of influential families. However, every child is more or less unusual. They’re either too smart or extremely outstanding in some aspects.”.
