Chapter 122: Chapter 122 - Protecting Her Loved Ones

After a long while, he sighed softly. The girl was still young.

He then moved his gaze away from her neck with difficulty and stopped looking at her.

At the same time, he let go of her wrist and retracted his hand that had reached into the corner of her shirt. He gently held her waist and looked at her, “I’m sorry. I couldn’t control myself just now.”

Yan Jinyu was slightly stunned. She turned back to look at him and their eyes met.

Yan Jinyu smiled lightly and placed her hand on his handsome face. “Brother Nine, why are you apologizing to me? I don’t hate what you like, right?”

She didn’t hate what he liked either…

The young lady actually knew everything.

“It’s not enough that you don’t hate it. When you like it too…”

“I didn’t say that I don’t like it!” If she didn’t like him and liked to be close to him, how could he have restrained her so easily?

Yin Jiujin’s body stiffened. This young lady was really…

“Do you really think that I have very high self-control? How dare you say such things at a time like this?”

Yan Jinyu blinked, her eyes clear. “But I’m telling the truth!”

Yin Jiujin stared at her and gradually tightened his grip on her waist.

He just felt that the girl knew everything, but after a while, she gave him such an innocent and ignorant look. He was a little confused as to whether she understood or not.

“…You only dare to speak so fearlessly because you’re young and you know that I won’t really do anything to you.”

There was no hurry. He would get back what he owed sooner or later.

He got up and helped her arrange her slightly messy clothes and hair.

During the entire process, Yan Jinyu was a little stunned.

She did not understand why the topic suddenly turned to her speaking so fearlessly because of her young age? When did she ever speak so fearlessly because she was young?

Besides, how could he tell that she was sure that he wouldn’t really do anything to her?

Based on his passion earlier, she did believe that he would really do something to her.

She didn’t think he would have stopped if someone hadn’t knocked on the door.

Forget it. He was someone she indulged in anyway. She would believe whatever he said.

After helping her tidy up, Yin Jiujin also tidied his shirt before saying, “Play your game. Call me if you need anything.”

He walked to the big chair behind the desk and sat down. He was using Master Nine’s usual cold posture. “Come in.” His voice was faint and emotionless.

No one would have thought that he, who was so cold and fierce, had just hugged the girl and lost himself in the kiss.

“Boss.”

“Master Nine.”

There were two people standing outside the door.

It was Lin Zimu who knocked on the door. Zhou Xiao, who was carrying a tray, was half a step behind him.

The two of them walked into the office. Zhou Xiao placed the snacks, fruits, and hot water on the coffee table in front of Yin Jiujin. “Miss Yu, please enjoy.”

Yan Jinyu was playing a game that had just started. When she heard this, she looked up and smiled at her, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. If Miss Yu has any instructions, just call me. I am working in the hall outside.”

“Alright, thank you.”

After Zhou Xiao left, Yan Jinyu picked up a piece of fruit with one hand and placed it in her mouth before continuing to play the game.

Yin Jiujin happened to see this scene from the corner of his eye, and his eyes were tainted with a faint smile. When he retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Zimu, the smile in his eyes had disappeared. It was his usual cold and indifferent expression. “What’s the matter?”

Lin Zimu retracted his gaze that was darting between Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin.

He did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the atmosphere between the boss and Miss Yu was a little strange.

Of course, the atmosphere between the boss and Miss Yu always seemed to be strange. However, it seemed especially strange this time.

As for what was strange, he couldn’t pinpoint it either.

Forget it. Business was more important.

He said seriously, “Boss, this morning… No, it should be said that in the middle of the night yesterday, a piece of news in North City spread on the Internet. It might affect the situation in North City.”

Yin Jiujin’s expression didn’t change. He only gestured for him to continue.

“It’s like this. The head of the Luo Family in North City, Luo Wanhong, has an ex-wife who died of illness 18 years ago. Her name is Yu Yao. Last night, there was a sudden piece of news that Yu Yao didn’t die of illness. Instead, she was deliberately killed by Luo Wanhong’s current wife, Zhang Mei, when she was giving birth. The child that Yu Yao gave birth to back then was the current eldest daughter of the Luo Family, Luo Qiu.”

“Luo Qiu is 18 years old this year and is classmates with Second Miss Yan. Not only the outsiders, but even Luo Qiu herself, have always believed that Zhang Mei is her biological mother.”

“Yu Yao… is also the cause of Luo Qiu’s mother’s death. The news online is reasonably believable and should be true.

“Zhang Mei is suspected of murder and has been taken away. At the same time, the eldest son of the Luo Family, Luo Yilin, was found lying in front of the Luo Family’s gate this morning. He’s covered in injuries and on the verge of death. He’s still unconscious. I wonder who injured him.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Yan Jinyu, who was playing games, heard this, other than raising her eyebrows slightly, she didn’t have much emotion or reaction.

She continued to play games.

However, when Lin Zimu said this, he glanced in Yan Jinyu’s direction and said, “According to the results of the Luo Family’s investigation, Luo Yilin appeared at the Yan Corporation’s main building around six o’clock last night. Later on, he left with Second Miss Yan and the Feng Family’s Eldest Young Master.”

“The Luo Family said that they want Second Miss Yan and the Feng Family to give them an explanation.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything, but her eyes darkened slightly.

The Luo Family had no evidence, yet they still dared to demand for an explanation?

“Anyway, both the Luo Family and North City are in a mess now.”

“The Huo Family still has the energy to interfere in this matter?”

He wasn’t asking if this matter had anything to do with the Huo Family, nor was he asking if the Huo Family would interfere. Instead, he was asking if the Huo Family still had the energy to interfere in this matter. This was because Yin Jiujin knew that if it was only what had happened to the Luo Family, even if it would affect the situation in North City, it wouldn’t be enough to make Lin Zimu panic. Even when his panic wasn’t really obvious.

In the business world, only Huo Xuan could slightly affect Yin Jiujin.

Hence, after seeing that Lin Zimu looked a little panicked, it wasn’t difficult for Yin Jiujin to guess that it was the Huo Family or rather, Huo Xuan.

“According to our people, Young Master Huo has already arranged for someone to contact the eldest daughter of the Luo Family.”

Yin Jiujin didn’t react, but Yan Jinyu’s hand that was playing games paused.

The Huo Family was going to interfere?

This was something she had not expected. If the Huo Family really interfered, it would be troublesome.

She had investigated Huo Xuan seriously when Little Rain returned to the Huo Family.

That wasn’t someone Yan Jinyun could deal with.

If the Huo Family really entered North City and cooperated with the Luo Family to gain a place in North City, not only the Yan Family, but even Brother Nine would be in trouble.

“Get in touch with Luo Qiu before Huo Xuan’s people did. Tell her that the Empire Group is willing to cooperate with the Luo Family as long as the Luo Family doesn’t get involved with the Huo Family.” He wasn’t afraid of the Huo Family or Huo Xuan. Whether the Huo Family entered North City wouldn’t affect him much, but it was different for the Yan Family.

After cooperating with the Huo Family, the Luo Family would have the qualifications and ability to compete with the Yan Family for the title of the number one family in North City.

Yan Jinyun was the head of the Yan Family now, and Yan Jinyun was someone his young lady protected. Of course, he couldn’t ignore that.

“Yes.”

Lin Zimu hesitated for a moment before saying, “There’s one more thing.”

“Third Young Master Min called and said that the Qiu Family will bring Eldest Miss Qiu to North City to apologize to Miss Yu today. They’re already on the plane from the capital to North City.”

“Apologize? Who allowed them to apologize? They even want to visit us! I’m asking the Qiu Family to give me an explanation, not for them to bring people to make their presence known in front of Little Yu!”

Lin Zimu did not dare to reply.

Yan Jinyu, who was playing games, looked up at Yin Jiujin.

Indeed, she didn’t want the people whom she had taught a lesson to make their presence known to her again.

“I don’t want to see them.” Yan Jinyu said.

“I like to teach someone a lesson on the spot when they’re looking for trouble with me. I’ve already taught Qiu Jian a lesson, so whatever happens next has nothing to do with me anymore.” The meaning behind her words was that Yin Jiujin wanted an explanation from the Qiu Family on her behalf. The Qiu Family only needed to give Yin Jiujin an explanation. It had nothing to do with her.

She couldn’t be bothered.

As for those people from the Qiu Family, she couldn’t be bothered to meet them either.

Yin Jiujin looked at her and said in a doting tone, “Alright, if you don’t want to see her, then don’t.”

She said to Lin Zimu, “If they’re here, just block them. Tell the Qiu Family that since they’re not sincere enough, there’s no need to give them the explanation I want. Wait for the Qiu Family to be removed from the capital.”

Lin Zimu was about to answer “yes” when he suddenly thought of something and said, “But Boss, Third Young Master Min also said that the Second Missy of the Qin Family will also come with the Qiu Family.”

“So what?”
