Yan Jinyu was still in Huo Siyuâs car when she received Yin Jiujinâs call. The two of them had yet to reach their next destination.
Seeing that it was Yin Jiujin calling, Yan Jinyu smiled.
As expected.
âI saw them,â she said.
Yin Jiujin stopped in his tracks. âThen, youâ¦â
âBrother Nine, are you afraid that Iâll misunderstand?â
Yin Jiujin heaved a sigh of relief when she said that.
It was good that there was no misunderstanding.
âDonât think too much about unimportant people.â
âWhat happened in the end? How did Brother Nine deal with her?â
âI kicked her away. Sheâll probably be in the hospital for a while.â
Yan Jinyu smiled. Why did his tone sound like that of a good child eager to be praised by an adult?
Hence, she did not hesitate to satisfy him. âYes, Brother Nine did very well. If you meet such a woman who tries to take advantage of you in the future, youâll deal with her like this too.â
âThen, Brother Nine, go ahead and get busy. Call me when youâre done.â
Yin Jiujin answered and was about to hang up when Yan Jinyu suddenly asked, âBrother Nine, you said that you roughly guessed who released the news of the Empire Buildingâs accident. Can you tell me who did you guess it was?â
Yin Jiujin didnât expect her to ask this. He pursed his lips tightly and said after a long while, âIâll tell you after Iâm sure.â
Yan Jinyu smiled. âMm-hm.â
Huo Siyu looked at Yan Jinyu, who was staring at the phone in her hand without saying a word after hanging up the call. She didnât know what she was thinking. She hesitated for a moment before asking, âBeauty Yu, have you also guessed who it is?â
Yan Jinyu looked up and smiled at her, âNot yet.â

Following that, the capital became very âlivelyâ.
It was said that there were nearly 100 people who were âinvitedâ to the Mount West Villa by Yin Jiujin.
There was so much news on the Internet. It was not surprising that there were hundreds of people involved.
They were interrogated for two days and two nights in the Mount West Villa.
Some people came back from the Mount West Villa unscathed, some came back with injuries, and some disappeared.
However, regardless of whether they came back with injuries or intact, they were all very frightened. Some people even hid in their houses and did not go out after they returned home.
At the same time, nearly 30 big and small family companies in the capital went bankrupt.
In just two days, the capital was filled with panic and shock. Some people who were involved in this matter were worried that a disaster was about to happen to them.
From then on, Master Nineâs reputation became even greater and no one dared to offend him.
In the meeting room of Mount West Villa.
Yin Jiujin sat at the main seat. Other than Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin, there was also a young man who was about 27 or 28 years old sitting at the meeting table.
Sitting with Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin, he looked even more serious and capable.
He was the general manager of the Empire Group, Jiang Hao.
âBoss, all the people involved say the same thing. They all received threatening calls saying that if they donât release the news according to the other partyâs request, they will die.â
âDuring this period, there were people who didnât believe in this threat and didnât follow it. There were also people who tried to tell us about this.â
âHowever, these people all met with misfortune.â
âCurrently, be it the threatening phone calls they received or how those people met with misfortune, we canât find anything yet.â
âContinue investigating.â After a pause, Yin Jiujin said, âInvestigate Ghost Slaughter Island.â
Other than Cheng Lin, who had seen Yan Jinyu attack, the other two people were stunned when they heard Yin Jiujinâs instructions.
Wasnât Ghost Slaughter Island destroyed?
Furthermore, when had Boss ever interacted with Ghost Slaughter Island?
However, they had never doubted Yin Jiujinâs words. They nodded and replied, âYes.â
âBoss, weâve found out about the Lingering Gardenâs incident,â Lin Zimu said.
âIt was indeed done by someone, but it wasnât anyone from the Lingering Garden. The person who sneaked in to take photos, started the fire. It has nothing to do with⦠Yu Qingwan.â The results of the investigation were like this, but Lin Zimu actually didnât believe that it really had nothing to do with Yu Qingwan.
âSince when can anyone enter the Lingering Garden as they pleased? Let the person guarding the Lingering Garden receive his punishment.â
The three of them were shocked.
âYes.â
Then, Lin Zimu continued to report, âAs for the results of the interrogation, itâs similar to Jiang Haoâs. They only acted after receiving a threatening call.â
âThereâs obviously a group of people behind this. As for what their purpose is, we donât know for the time being.â
âItâs two groups,â Jiang Hao replied.
Since Jiang Hao could become Yin Jiujinâs number one subordinate and become the general manager of the Empire Group, he naturally wasnât weak.
He still had the ability to see through things.
If it wasnât for the fact that the incident at the Empire Building had happened too suddenly and seemed to have erupted in an instant, and that it might have involved someone who even Yin Jiujin wasnât afraid of, Jiang Hao wouldnât have been in such a hurry to call Yin Jiujin.
Jiang Hao was the same as Lin Zimu. All these years, other than Huo Xuan who occasionally caused trouble, they had never seen anyone who dared to openly offend Yin Jiujin. He had no choice but to take them seriously.
Under Lin Zimu and Cheng Linâs puzzled gazes, Jiang Hao explained, âOne of them wants to lure the boss back to the capital and bring the boss to the Lingering Garden. As for the purpose, we donât know for the time being. The other is to help the boss by blowing this matter up so that the boss can shock those people who have already forgotten the bossâs style. As for the purpose, we donât know for the time being.â
âCould it be that those people who lured Boss back to the capital and then to the Lingering Garden just want to drive a wedge between Boss and Miss Yu?â Lin Zimu said uncertainly.
It was really hard for him to believe that the other party had spent so much effort on such a small matter.
Cheng Lin, who knew Yan Jinyuâs identity, was silent for a moment before saying, âPerhaps.â After saying that, he carefully looked at Yin Jiujinâs expression. Seeing that he wasnât angry or had no intention of stopping him from continuing, he continued, âMiss Yu, actually, isnât simply the Miss Yu we see.â
These words sounded a little confusing, but Jiang Hao and Lin Zimu were both smart people. Coupled with their years of working together and understanding of Cheng Lin, they roughly guessed something.
They did not show it on their face, but they were already shocked.
They recalled what their boss had said about investigating Ghost Slaughter Island.
Didnât this mean that Miss Yu was related to Ghost Slaughter Island?
Did Ghost Slaughter Island spend so much effort to target her, or rather, to drive a wedge between her and their boss?
After thinking this through, Lin Zimu didnât need Yin Jiujin to instruct him. He said, âIâll get someone to keep an eye on Yu Qingwan.â Yu Qingwan was very suspicious.
âJiang Hao will deal with the rest.â With that said, Yin Jiujin stood up.
He looked at Cheng Lin. âLetâs make a trip to the Yin Family.â
They were all smart people. Yin Jiujin had only returned to the Yin Family once or twice a year. At most, he would return three times a year. However, he had suddenly returned at this moment. It was definitely related to this matter.
Could it be that the other group was related to the Yin Family?
Watching Cheng Lin walk out of the meeting room with Yin Jiujin, Jiang Hao and Lin Zimu fell silent.
If it was really related to the Yin Family, it was not something that they, who worked under their boss, could interfere in.
No matter what, the Yin Family was still the bossâs home. The Yin Family was also his family.
***
Half an hour later.
At the Yin Familyâs old residence.
The old residence of a top-notch family in the capital like the Yin Family naturally covered a large area.
This entire piece belonged to the Yin Family.
The old residence was very old and it even had a vermillion door.
Although it was ancient, the security system was very complete. Yin Jiujinâs car was 50 meters away from the Yin Familyâs door when the Yin Familyâs security room saw its image.
âItâs Second Young Master!â
The three people sitting in the security room stood up excitedly when they saw the car plate number.
It was really difficult for Yin Jiujin to return to the Yin Family once. He had suddenly returned, and it was at a time when everyone in the capital was panicking.
Over the past few days, they had been in awe of Yin Jiujin even more, which was why they were so excited.
âCall Butler Wu quickly.â
âOpen the door quickly.â
After giving out instructions, they went about their own business.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although it was a vermillion door, it was no longer like in the old days where one had to personally run over to open the door. It was remotely controlled by a button.
The door opened and Cheng Lin drove straight into the Yin Familyâs mansion.
The Yin Familyâs mansion was even larger than the entire Mount Jing.
It was huge.
Cheng Lin didnât drive to the main building. Instead, he followed Yin Jiujinâs instructions and headed straight for the bamboo forest behind.
***
In the living room of the Yin Familyâs main building.
As soon as they received the news that Yin Jiujin had returned, everyone in the Yin Family hurriedly went downstairs and sat in the living room.
Yin Jiujin had caused such a huge commotion in the capital the past two days, so they werenât in the mood to go to work. They all sat at home and watched.
They wanted to ask but did not dare to. They did not know what was going on.
They were worried sick.
âWhere do you think Jinâer has gone?â Yin Shuguo asked the old man standing beside him. The old manâs surname was Wu, and he was the Yin Familyâs butler.
âHe went to the Bamboo Forest Elegant Abode.â
âHe returned to his courtyard?â Qin Jianjia asked.
There were two courtyards in the Bamboo Forest Elegant AbodeâAzure Garden and Elegant Court.
The Azure Garden was Yin Jiujinâs residence in the Yin Family.
As for Yin Shuguo, Yin Wuzhan, and Yin Yuhan, the eldest grandson of the Yin Family, they all lived in the main building.
âJinâer hasnât been back for a long time, but he suddenly returned to his residence. Could it be that heâs going to take something?â Qin Jianjia asked again.
âWhy donât I go over and take a look? Jinâer hasnât been back for too long. Other than regularly getting someone to clean his courtyard, no one else has stepped foot into it. If he needs anything, Iâm afraid he wonât be able to find it for a while. Itâs good to have someone to help him.â
The Yin Family knew that other than the late Old Madam, Qin Jianjia had the best relationship with Yin Jiujin in the Yin Family. Most importantly, when Yin Jiujin and the Yin Family were in conflict, Qin Jianjia had yet to marry into the Yin Family. Furthermore, she was Qin Haoâs elder sister.
âGo ahead,â Old Master agreed.
He looked at Yin Yuhan, âHanâer will go over and take a look too.â
After the two of them left, Min Qinglan moved her lips to say something, but she didnât say anything in the end.
The aftereffects of being frightened by Yan Jinyu when she went to North City previously were still present. In the past, she used to talk the most in the Yin Family, but now, she was especially quiet.
âDad, hasnât Jinâer caused too much commotion recently?â Yin Wuzhan asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Shuguo flicked a glance at him. âWhy? Someone is bullying him. Do you want your son to suffer silently? This is what my grandson should do. Letâs see if those people still dare to provoke him!â
âWhy? Canât withstand the pressure?â
âNot really. Jinâer never lets us clean up the aftermath. You know that, Dad. Itâs the same this time. Hanâer and I donât have to help at all.â
âJinâer has handled everything very well.â
