Chapter 192 - Old Acquaintance From Ghost Slaughter
Chapter 192: Old Acquaintance From Ghost Slaughter
“I’ve heard a little about it.”
“What Mr. Chen wants to say is related to Country Y?”
Huo Siyu did not say anything and listened to them quietly. She did not show it on her face, but Huo Siyu was actually not so calm.
From Chen Xiaotian’s attitude, he obviously knew Beauty Yu’s identity. However, he, who knew Beauty Yu’s identity, had something important to tell her. He even mentioned the family in Country Y that she and Beauty Yu had been paying attention to recently.
“Yes.”
After some consideration, Chen Xiaotian said in a more tactful manner, “I’ve heard about the cause of the death of the head of the Jones Family in Country Y back then.”
It was to tell Yan Jinyu that he had recognized her identity and knew about her conflict with the Jones Family.
Yan Jinyu smiled. “So?”
“I don’t have any ill intentions. Miss Yan, please don’t be anxious.”
“Do I look very anxious?”
Chen Xiaotian was stunned. No, there was only a faint smile on her face. He couldn’t tell anything at all. He shook his head. “No.”
“I just want to say that I don’t have any ill intentions. Miss Yan, you don’t have to be so vigilant.”
“I don’t have any dealings with the Jones Family, but I have some business dealings with the Smith Family. I know something that the outside world doesn’t know about the sudden illness of the head of the Smith Family some time ago.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.” This was akin to someone giving her a pillow just as she was dozing off?
No matter what, Yan Jinyu was very happy that Chen Xiaotian came looking for her because of this.
This meant that Little Rain did not have to investigate further.
Little Rain wouldn’t have to take the risk if she didn’t investigate.
Hearing this, Huo Siyu was also interested.
“The day before Smith passed away, he was still secretly discussing a business deal with me. So, it’s impossible for him to have passed away from an illness.”
“There are all kinds of strange causes of death in the conflicts of big families. It’s not uncommon for people to use illnesses as an excuse in the end. This doesn’t seem to be anything new.”
“Miss Yan, you might not know this, but because that business deal is a little big, I was worried that the opponent was deliberately causing trouble and harm to Smith, so I went to investigate.”
Yan Jinyu paused and looked up at him. Her smile deepened, “What happened?”
“The cause of Smith’s death was indeed not an illness, but an assassination in his room. Of course, I’m not sure if my opponent hired an assassin to assassinate him. However, you know that for a family like Smith that has hundreds of years of history, the person in charge must be living in the family’s mansion and kept safe. Not to mention people, even a fly would probably be difficult to approach him.”
“However, Smith was assassinated. A bullet went straight through his head.”
“In the killer world, only an assassin from Ghost Slaughter Island can sneak into a room like Smith’s and assassinate him silently. Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed three years ago.”
“After that, I investigated again and found out that the head of the Smith Family was assassinated. It wasn’t because someone put the mission to kill him on the corresponding website for someone to pick up the job. In other words, it’s very likely that the killer wanted to kill him on his own.”
“After that, the Jones Family rose.”
“That’s what I want to say.” After saying that, he added, “I’m not saying this to repay you. I just feel that there’s a need to tell you this. Just treat it as an apology for today’s matter. As for the favor I owe you, it’s still available.”
“There’s no need for that. This matter is enough for you to repay the favor you owe,” Yan Jinyu said with a meaningful gaze.
“I…”
However, she was interrupted by Huo Siyu. “I think Mr. Chen has also guessed something. After leaving this door, I don’t want to hear any rumors. Beauty Yu and I are having very peaceful lives now. I hope you won’t make Beauty Yu regret saving you back then.”
It was a disguised warning.
Although she was smiling, the warning was very strong.
“Miss Huo, don’t worry. Although I, Chen Xiaotian, am not a good person, I’m not a shameless person who repays kindness with ingratitude.”
“As for my brother, you don’t have to worry either. He’s timid. He doesn’t dare to provoke people he can’t afford to offend. Besides, although he’s a little unreliable, he knows what he can and can’t do. People like us who hang out in the underworld have always valued friendship more than anything else.”
After hearing their conversation, Chen Ye, who had already guessed Yan Jinyu’s identity, was still in shock.
The corners of his lips twitched when he heard Chen Xiaotian’s words.
If he wanted to praise him, just do it. Why did he have to put him on before praising him?
“Don’t worry. My brother’s life savior is my life savior. I’m also not the kind of person who will repay kindness with ingratitude.”
“That’s for the best.”
Huo Siyu stood up. “Then I won’t keep you two any longer.”
Chen Xiaotian and Chen Ye had no intention of staying any longer. They stood up one after another. “Please stay. There’s no need to send us off.”
After they left the Huo Family, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu went upstairs to Huo Siyu’s room.
The two of them looked serious.
However, Huo Siyu’s expression was more serious.
“Beauty Yu, who do you think it is?”
Before Yan Jinyu could reply, she continued, “Didn’t we destroy Ghost Slaughter Island? Those people were destroyed along with Ghost Slaughter Island. Why are there still people surviving?”
“There are only a few people in Ghost Slaughter who are skilled enough to infiltrate the Smith Family and kill the person in charge silently. If they’re really from Ghost Slaughter, perhaps one of them was lucky enough to survive.”
“There are only a few people in Ghost Slaughter who are skilled enough to infiltrate the Smith Family and kill the person in charge silently. If they’re really from Ghost Slaughter, it’s just that one of them was lucky enough to survive.”
“Taking a step back, even if he’s a killer, he might not be Ghost Slaughter’s killer.”
“However, according to Chen Xiaotian, the Jones Family rose after Smith died. It’s hard not to think about Ghost Slaughter. After all, Old Jones died at your hands.”
“There’s no need to worry about that.” Yan Jinyu pointed at the other sofa. “Sit down first.”
Seeing that she was calm, Huo Siyu’s worries dissipated a little.
She walked over and sat down.
“So what if it’s really someone from the Ghost Slaughter Island? We’ve destroyed the entire Ghost Slaughter Island, so why can’t we handle one or two people who were lucky enough to survive?”
Huo Siyu thought about it and agreed.
Back when they destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island, it was at its peak. Not only were there experienced people, but there were also many talents among the newcomers.
Didn’t that many people also die at their hands? Even though they had planned for this for years.
At the thought of this, Huo Siyu’s last worry was gone.
“Then, Beauty Yu, what should we do next?”
“Let’s live our lives as usual. There’s no need to ruin our lives for this little change. I’ll go to Boyu to meet Jones after the New Year.”
“However, since Chen Xiaotian has told us the cause of Smith’s death, you don’t have to take the risk to investigate. Just focus on your studies.”
“…” Huo Siyu. She actually didn’t want to be a university student.
However, seeing that Beauty Yu was so calm, she was really not worried anymore.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s talk about Huo Sisi.”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “What’s there to talk about her?”
“Aren’t we going to torture her? We need to have some ceremony. Otherwise, if Huo Sisi finds out that we don’t even care about torturing her, won’t she die of anger?”
Huo Siyu continued, “After seeing what we did today, with Huo Sisi’s intelligence, she probably won’t offend us again for the time being. She’ll probably target my brother next. After all, her status in the Huo Family is now in danger. She’ll definitely do something to stabilize her status in the Huo Family.”
“Do you think she can scheme against your brother?”
“That’s why she’s getting closer and closer to death. Beauty Yu, stay in South City for a few more days and go back after seeing Huo Sisi’s fate with your own eyes.”
“Just for a few days,” Yan Jinyu said. “She won’t let us wait too long. Or rather, that Cao Ming won’t let us wait too long.”
“Cao Ming. Can he still do it since he’s so seriously injured?”
“Don’t underestimate a lunatic. His obsession with Huo Sisi actually made him no different from a lunatic.” This was what Yan Jinyu had seen at the ski park.
At that time, Cao Ming’s injuries were very serious. Even someone with strong endurance would probably find it difficult to be like him, who was clearly in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat, to still smile gently at Huo Sisi and say those comforting words.
Was Cao Ming a person with very high endurance?
Not really.
She stood beside Cao Ming on the ski track and could clearly hear the seriously injured Cao Ming groaning. It was obvious that he was afraid of pain.
A person who was afraid of pain could completely ignore it in front of Huo Sisi.
She believed that there was nothing he could not do.
“Then, we’ll wait for the show.” After saying that, Huo Siyu asked Yan Jinyu, “Beauty Yu, should we tell Sister Fengling and Brother Feng about the Smith Family and the Jones Family?”
Yan Jinyu paused for a moment before saying, “There’s no need to.”
“The Min Family’s matter is at a critical juncture. There’s no need to divert their attention. We’ll talk about it in person in the capital when we go there later.”
