âIâve heard a little about it.â
âWhat Mr. Chen wants to say is related to Country Y?â
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 Xiaotianâs attitude, he obviously knew Beauty Yuâs identity. However, he, who knew Beauty Yuâs 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.
âYes.â
After some consideration, Chen Xiaotian said in a more tactful manner, âIâve heard about the cause of the death of the head of the Jones Family in Country Y back then.â
It was to tell Yan Jinyu that he had recognized her identity and knew about her conflict with the Jones Family.
Yan Jinyu smiled. âSo?â
âI donât have any ill intentions. Miss Yan, please donât be anxious.â
âDo I look very anxious?â
Chen Xiaotian was stunned. No, there was only a faint smile on her face. He couldnât tell anything at all. He shook his head. âNo.â
âI just want to say that I donât have any ill intentions. Miss Yan, you donât have to be so vigilant.â
âI donât have any dealings with the Jones Family, but I have some business dealings with the Smith Family. I know something that the outside world doesnât know about the sudden illness of the head of the Smith Family some time ago.â
âOh? Tell me about it.â 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 wouldnât have to take the risk if she didnât investigate.
Hearing this, Huo Siyu was also interested.
âThe day before Smith passed away, he was still secretly discussing a business deal with me. So, itâs impossible for him to have passed away from an illness.â
âThere are all kinds of strange causes of death in the conflicts of big families. Itâs not uncommon for people to use illnesses as an excuse in the end. This doesnât seem to be anything new.â
âMiss 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.â
Yan Jinyu paused and looked up at him. Her smile deepened, âWhat happened?â
âThe cause of Smithâs death was indeed not an illness, but an assassination in his room. Of course, Iâm 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 familyâs mansion and kept safe. Not to mention people, even a fly would probably be difficult to approach him.â
âHowever, Smith was assassinated. A bullet went straight through his head.â
âIn the killer world, only an assassin from Ghost Slaughter Island can sneak into a room like Smithâs and assassinate him silently. Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed three years ago.â
âAfter that, I investigated again and found out that the head of the Smith Family was assassinated. It wasnât because someone put the mission to kill him on the corresponding website for someone to pick up the job. In other words, itâs very likely that the killer wanted to kill him on his own.â
âAfter that, the Jones Family rose.â
âThatâs what I want to say.â After saying that, he added, âIâm not saying this to repay you. I just feel that thereâs a need to tell you this. Just treat it as an apology for todayâs matter. As for the favor I owe you, itâs still available.â
âThereâs no need for that. This matter is enough for you to repay the favor you owe,â Yan Jinyu said with a meaningful gaze.
âIâ¦â
However, she was interrupted by Huo Siyu. âI think Mr. Chen has also guessed something. After leaving this door, I donât want to hear any rumors. Beauty Yu and I are having very peaceful lives now. I hope you wonât make Beauty Yu regret saving you back then.â
It was a disguised warning.
Although she was smiling, the warning was very strong.
âMiss Huo, donât worry. Although I, Chen Xiaotian, am not a good person, Iâm not a shameless person who repays kindness with ingratitude.â
âAs for my brother, you donât have to worry either. Heâs timid. He doesnât dare to provoke people he canât afford to offend. Besides, although heâs a little unreliable, he knows what he can and canât do. People like us who hang out in the underworld have always valued friendship more than anything else.â
After hearing their conversation, Chen Ye, who had already guessed Yan Jinyuâs identity, was still in shock.
The corners of his lips twitched when he heard Chen Xiaotianâs words.
If he wanted to praise him, just do it. Why did he have to put him on before praising him?
âDonât worry. My brotherâs life savior is my life savior. Iâm also not the kind of person who will repay kindness with ingratitude.â
âThatâs for the best.â
Huo Siyu stood up. âThen I wonât keep you two any longer.â
Chen Xiaotian and Chen Ye had no intention of staying any longer. They stood up one after another. âPlease stay. Thereâs no need to send us off.â
After they left the Huo Family, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu went upstairs to Huo Siyuâs room.
The two of them looked serious.
However, Huo Siyuâs expression was more serious.
âBeauty Yu, who do you think it is?â
Before Yan Jinyu could reply, she continued, âDidnât we destroy Ghost Slaughter Island? Those people were destroyed along with Ghost Slaughter Island. Why are there still people surviving?â
âThere 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 theyâre really from Ghost Slaughter, perhaps one of them was lucky enough to survive.â
âThere 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 theyâre really from Ghost Slaughter, itâs just that one of them was lucky enough to survive.â
âTaking a step back, even if heâs a killer, he might not be Ghost Slaughterâs killer.â
âHowever, according to Chen Xiaotian, the Jones Family rose after Smith died. Itâs hard not to think about Ghost Slaughter. After all, Old Jones died at your hands.â
âThereâs no need to worry about that.â Yan Jinyu pointed at the other sofa. âSit down first.â
Seeing that she was calm, Huo Siyuâs worries dissipated a little.
She walked over and sat down.
âSo what if itâs really someone from the Ghost Slaughter Island? Weâve destroyed the entire Ghost Slaughter Island, so why canât we handle one or two people who were lucky enough to survive?â
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.
Didnât that many people also die at their hands? Even though they had planned for this for years.
At the thought of this, Huo Siyuâs last worry was gone.
âThen, Beauty Yu, what should we do next?â
âLetâs live our lives as usual. Thereâs no need to ruin our lives for this little change. Iâll go to Boyu to meet Jones after the New Year.â
âHowever, since Chen Xiaotian has told us the cause of Smithâs death, you donât have to take the risk to investigate. Just focus on your studies.â
ââ¦â Huo Siyu. She actually didnât want to be a university student.
However, seeing that Beauty Yu was so calm, she was really not worried anymore.
âAlright, letâs not talk about this for now. Letâs talk about Huo Sisi.â
Yan Jinyu smiled. âWhatâs there to talk about her?â
âArenât we going to torture her? We need to have some ceremony. Otherwise, if Huo Sisi finds out that we donât even care about torturing her, wonât she die of anger?â
Huo Siyu continued, âAfter seeing what we did today, with Huo Sisiâs intelligence, she probably wonât offend us again for the time being. Sheâll probably target my brother next. After all, her status in the Huo Family is now in danger. Sheâll definitely do something to stabilize her status in the Huo Family.â
âDo you think she can scheme against your brother?â
âThatâs why sheâs getting closer and closer to death. Beauty Yu, stay in South City for a few more days and go back after seeing Huo Sisiâs fate with your own eyes.â
âJust for a few days,â Yan Jinyu said. âShe wonât let us wait too long. Or rather, that Cao Ming wonât let us wait too long.â
âCao Ming. Can he still do it since heâs so seriously injured?â
âDonât underestimate a lunatic. His obsession with Huo Sisi actually made him no different from a lunatic.â This was what Yan Jinyu had seen at the ski park.
At that time, Cao Mingâs 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.
âThen, weâll wait for the show.â After saying that, Huo Siyu asked Yan Jinyu, âBeauty Yu, should we tell Sister Fengling and Brother Feng about the Smith Family and the Jones Family?â
Yan Jinyu paused for a moment before saying, âThereâs no need to.â
âThe Min Familyâs matter is at a critical juncture. Thereâs no need to divert their attention. Weâll talk about it in person in the capital when we go there later.â
