Chapter 433 - Revealing Her Identity
Chapter 433: Revealing Her Identity
Everyone present was surprised.
Even Min Qinglan, who had never dared to look up, looked up in surprise.
“What? There’s such a thing?” Old Master Yin glared at Yin Jiujin unhappily. “Why didn’t I know about such a big thing?”
Yin Shuguo turned and saw that Yin Wuzhan and Min Qinglan also had shocked expressions. Only then did he know that he wasn’t the only one who didn’t know about this. The others didn’t know either, so he was even angrier.
“I have my own arrangements for this.” Yin Jiujin didn’t explain further.
Old Master glared at him.
His bad temper had really not changed at all. He made his own decisions about everything. He was like this when he was young and still like this after he grew up.
Seeing that Old Master was angry, Qin Jianjia asked in an attempt to divert attention, “Has the engagement’s party’s time been set?”
Yin Jiujin didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at Yan Jinyu.
There was even a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Yan Jinyu was helpless. She held his hand under the table and comforted him silently. Then, she said to the others, “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait for Cousin Feng Yun to come back.”
She knew very well that Yin Jiujin and Feng Yun had an extremely good relationship. Now that Yin Jiujin’s aunt was in Liu Guang’s hands, although Yin Jiujin had always wanted to hold the engagement party early, she knew very well that Yin Jiujin actually hoped that Yin Xiaoxiao and Feng Yun could attend their engagement party.
Therefore, she told him her thoughts when Yin Jiujin was conflicted about the engagement ceremony.
She said that they had to wait for Feng Yun and Yin Xiaoxiao to come back at least. It would be more lively when everyone was around.
In fact, she didn’t care if these two people were present at the engagement party or not. She just didn’t want Yin Jiujin to have any regrets.
“Waiting for Yun’er to come back? So you really know where he went?” Yin Shuguo’s attention was successfully diverted.
Yan Jinyu smiled. “We do.”
Yin Shuguo was silent for a moment. No one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he said to them, “Follow me to the study room after dinner.” He was referring to his son and two grandsons.
“Little Yu, too.”
***
Half an hour later, in the study on the second floor.
Yin Shuguo sat down while the others stood.
Yin Shuguo was the first to speak. “Tell me, what exactly happened?” He was asking Yin Jiujin.
“Aunt is still alive.”
“…” They didn’t expect Yin Jiujin to suddenly say such shocking news. The study instantly fell silent.
Even Yin Wuzhan, who had always been very calm, could not hide the shock on his face now.
“W-What did you say?” Yin Shuguo’s hands trembled, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Or rather, he was afraid that he had heard wrongly.
Yin Xiaoxiao was the daughter of Old Master. He only had one son and one daughter in his life, and Yin Xiaoxiao was his younger daughter. In the early years, when Yin Xiaoxiao was still alive, Old Master doted on her the most.
The Old Madam of the Yin Family, Meng Xiangyu, doted on Yin Xiaoxiao even more.
Speaking of which, a large part of the reason why Meng Xiangyu passed away three years ago was because her daughter and son-in-law’s accident had dealt her a huge blow and became her psychological problem. After dragging it out for a few years, she finally couldn’t endure it any longer.
“Aunt is still alive.” Yin Jiujin repeated his words.
No emotions could be detected from his voice, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
However, his confirmation made the other three people in the study completely flustered.
“W-What exactly happened?” Yin Yuhan had investigated for so many years, but he couldn’t even find out who killed Yin Xiaoxiao and Feng Li.
He could persist in investigating for so many years, so it was obvious that he had a deep relationship with Yin Xiaoxiao, his aunt.
How could he not be excited when he heard Yin Jiujin say that Yin Xiaoxiao was still alive?
Yin Jiujin remained silent.
Others thought that he didn’t want them to know, but only Yan Jinyu knew that Yin Jiujin probably felt terrible too.
It was very difficult for him to say that.
She took a step forward and held his lowered hand.
“Let me do the talking.”
Seeing that everyone, including Yin Jiujin, was looking at her, Yan Jinyu chuckled. “I should know better than Brother Nine about what’s going on.”
Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan, who knew her identity, didn’t say anything.
They knew what she was capable of.
Only Yin Shuguo was very surprised. “You know better?” He knew that this girl was not simple. At least, she was not as they had found out. However, she was just not simple. He did not think that she was more capable than his second grandson.
“Yes, I know better,” Yan Jinyu replied calmly.
She could already tell that only Old Master and Min Qinglan didn’t know her identity in the Yin Family. Moreover, compared to Old Master, Min Qinglan even knew that she was quite skilled and dared to kill someone.
It seemed like what happened at the Min Family’s banquet that day did not spread. Otherwise, it was impossible for Old Master not to know.
Since the others in the Yin Family knew, it didn’t seem to matter if Old Master knew. Besides, they really needed to know the current situation.
After all, Yin Xiaoxiao was still alive.
This was a huge matter for the Yin Family.
As Yin Xiaoxiao’s family, they had the right to know.
“I heard that Cousin Feng Yun and his parents’ corpses were brought back by Grandpa Yin back then. Then, I wonder if Grandpa Yin knows who harmed them? Or do you know where Cousin Feng Yun went during the years he was missing?”
Yin Shuguo fell silent and his sharp gaze landed on her as he sized her up.
This was the first time Old Master had sized her up so seriously.
“I don’t know, but I have some guesses.”
He really did not know. Back then, his daughter and son-in-law had sent news and when he rushed over to save them, he only saw the barely alive Yun’er and his daughter and son-in-law, who had long been blown up.
However, even so, with his experience and power, he could still find out something.
Although his daughter and son-in-law had special identities and the missions they were on were all classified, if he really wanted to investigate, he still would be able to find out something.
Before his daughter and son-in-law got into trouble, they seemed to be investigating an organization called Ghost Slaughter.
Ghost Slaughter and Ghost Slaughter Island were not a secret to them. Furthermore, he was good friends with the Old Master of the Min Family in his early years, so he had a better understanding of Ghost Slaughter.
However, his daughter and son-in-law had left a message for him not to investigate. In addition, Yun’er’s situation was indeed serious. He still had many things to do, so he did not insist on investigating.
Yes, he didn’t insist on investigating. It wasn’t that he had never investigated before.
However, even if he investigated, his understanding of Ghost Slaughter Island was not any greater than the outside world.
Three years ago, Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed and Ghost Slaughter no longer existed, so there was no need to investigate further.
If Ghost Slaughter was really their enemy, then revenge could be considered done.
“Have you heard of Ghost Slaughter Island?” Yin Shuguo was asking Yan Jinyu.
Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes. “Of course.” Even if she destroyed it, she still remembered everything that happened on Ghost Slaughter Island back then.
Yin Shuguo was just probing, but he didn’t expect her to really know.
And her reaction…
Even if she hid it very well, he had lived for so many years after all. He had still discovered the change in her emotions.
She seemed to have a strong hatred for Ghost Slaughter Island.
However, when Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan heard the words “Ghost Slaughter Island”, they both looked at Yan Jinyu.
He thought that since Yan Jinyu came from Ghost Slaughter Island, Yin Xiaoxiao and Feng Li were actually related to Ghost Slaughter Island back then. Didn’t that mean that Feng Yun had wandered to Ghost Slaughter Island when he went missing in his early years?
And now, Yin Xiaoxiao was still alive. Didn’t that mean that there were still people living from the Ghost Slaughter Island that was rumored to have been destroyed?
Then, how would they treat Yan Jinyu, the person who had destroyed their foundation?
Under Yin Shuguo’s puzzled gaze, Yan Jinyu chuckled and waved her left hand. One of the flowers in the vase was in her hand.
It was so fast that it only took the blink of an eye!
However, Yin Shuguo had been looking at her and naturally saw her actions.
For a long time, he was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. “Y-you…”
He hurriedly looked at Yin Jiujin and saw that his expression was normal.
Yin Shuguo finally understood that Yin Jiujin knew.
Old Master Yin, who could develop the Yin Family till what it was now, was naturally stable.
The reason why he had such a huge reaction was because he had already treated Yan Jinyu as his junior and didn’t want to believe that his junior was such a formidable person. In addition, with Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin’s relationship, he was worried that Yin Jiujin didn’t know Yan Jinyu’s identity and wouldn’t be able to accept such a lie after knowing.
Seeing Yin Jiujin’s knowing expression, he naturally wasn’t as flustered as before.
“You’re that number one killer? The one who destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island?”
However, even so, Yin Shuguo was still in disbelief.
She was only 18 years old!
Then she was only 10 years old when she became famous!
What were the other 10-year-olds doing?
At this moment, Old Master wasn’t thinking about Yan Jinyu’s identity. Instead, he was thinking about how much she had suffered since she had achieved so much at such a young age.
He thought about how their hearts would ache if his two old friends and his wife were still around.
Yan Jinyu held the flower in her hand and smiled calmly, “Yes.”
Only then did Yin Shuguo realize that Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan were both calmer than him. “You guys know too?”
“Yu’er made a move at the Min Family’s banquet before the new year,” Yin Yuhan said simply.
Although they had long guessed it, they were actually not very calm when they confirmed it with their own eyes.
Previously at the Min Family, they had seen her attack from afar. Now that they were close, they could see it more clearly.
Such skills…
If she wanted to kill someone, ordinary people could not avoid her at all.
No wonder she was so famous. No wonder so many people were afraid of her.
“Then…” Why didn’t you tell me?
Yin Shuguo didn’t say the last sentence.
Now that he looked at Yan Jinyu again, his gaze was completely different.
He thought that she was just an obedient girl who had inherited her grandparents’ outstanding genes. It turned out that…
Who would have thought that this smiling girl, who looked innocent and harmless, as if she did not understand the evil intentions of people, was actually a ruthless character?
Anyway, he never expected that.
“You made a move at the Min Family. Then, Old Man Min’s second grandson who had been missing for many years…” At this point, Yin Shuguo suddenly understood. “Yes, Min Rufeng has also been missing for many years. Moreover, when he went missing back then, Old Man Min also found some clues and realized that it might be related to Ghost Slaughter Island. However, Old Man Min was killed before he could find out more.”
“In that case, Min Rufeng’s girlfriend is also…”
“Yes, they’re all my partners.”
“I heard that there are four of you…” Old Master hesitated, but he still said it.
“There are indeed four of us. There is also Huo Siyu from the Huo Family in South City.” At the Min Family’s banquet, Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan had seen the four of them attack together. They must have already guessed it, so there was no need to hide it.
Old Master was shocked, but he hid his emotions very well.
“Then, what about Yun’er? Y-you knew Yun’er long ago, right? Back then, Yun’er…” Old Master didn’t have the courage to continue asking.
“That’s right. I’ve indeed long known Cousin Feng Yun and had some interactions in the early years. Cousin Feng Yun was saved by his parents from Ghost Slaughter Island. His parents were also killed by Ghost Slaughter Island.”
