Chapter 207: Chapter 207 - Master Nines Heart Aches

In the end, Yan Jinyu didn’t interact much with the two siblings from the Yuan Family. After the plane reached North City, she left after bidding farewell to them.

Yan Jinyu didn’t interact much with the Yuan siblings, so with Yin Jiujin’s personality, it was even more impossible for him to pay attention to them.

However, Yan Jinyu glanced at Yuan Xi twice when they said goodbye to each other.

It was always hard to ignore the fact that he had just returned to South City a few days ago and then returned to North City to retrieve his things.

However, she only paid attention to that for a moment but did not pursue the matter.

Of course, Yin Jiujin, who had sharp senses, didn’t give her a chance to pursue the matter. Yin Jiujin was a little angry when she took a double look at Yuan Xi.

Cheng Lin drove straight to the airport to pick them up. They got in the car and headed straight to Mount Jing.

In the car, Yin Jiujin was still angry. He ignored Yan Jinyu and leaned against the car seat to rest his eyes.

Yan Jinyu felt helpless.

“Brother Nine.”

She reached out to hold his hand on his lap and shook it. “Are you ignoring me?”

Yin Jiujin glanced at her. “No.”

Then, he closed his eyes again, but he did not retract his hand.

Yan Jinyu felt that it was rare. She pursed her lips and smiled, “You still said that you didn’t. You don’t even want to look at me anymore.”

Yin Jiujin opened his eyes again and stared at her. He seemed to be looking at her out of spite, making Yan Jinyu ecstatic.

She held his hand and looked at him. “Brother Nine, are you jealous?”

Cheng Lin, who was driving in front, tried to lower his presence.

Fortunately, he had been by Master Nine’s side recently and had seen many exceptions that Master Nine made for Miss Yu. Otherwise, he really couldn’t remain calm.

Master Nine was jealous…

Who would believe that?

“If you’re jealous, you have to tell me. Otherwise, I can’t tell.”

“I’m not jealous.”

“You’re still denying it. You’re already angry. Brother Nine, you’re simply too jealousy. I’m not the kind of woman who likes every man she sees. I’m very loyal.”

Yin Jiujin looked at her smiling exquisite face and held her hand. He held her hand in his and caressed her calloused palm. “I naturally believe you.”

“I just like you too much. I’m afraid that others will have designs on you.”

His sudden confession stunned Yan Jinyu. She stared at his deep and affectionate eyes, and her heart started to pound.

The two of them were so familiar with each other, so why was her emotions still so easily affected by him?

Perhaps, she saw a hint of unconfidence in Yin Jiujin’s deep love?

He wasn’t confident because he cared about her too much.

As she thought about it, she reached out to wrap her arms around his waist and leaned against him. “Brother Nine, don’t worry. Not to mention that no one is thinking about me, even if there is, Brother Nine is the only person I want.”

As if afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, Yan Jinyu blinked and stared at him. She said seriously, “Really, Brother Nine, you gotta believe me.”

Seeing her like this, Yin Jiujin’s jealousy had long dissipated. He held her waist with one hand and said, “Yes, I believe you.”

He lowered his eyes to look at her. “Even if I believe you, it’s not a reason for you to keep staring at others. Tell me, why are you staring at that brat from the Yuan Family? You’re not someone who will easily be curious about others.”

“Alright, since Brother Nine asked, I won’t hide it from you.”

She looked at him in amusement. “Otherwise, you’ll be jealous again.”

The young lady actually teased him. Yin Jiujin felt a little uncomfortable.

“Little Rain and I suspect that Yuan Xi is Jones.”

Seeing that Yin Jiujin’s expression had suddenly become serious, Yan Jinyu hurriedly smiled and said, “It’s just a guess. There’s no substantial evidence. Moreover, most of his suspicion was removed now.”

“How did you get rid of the suspicion?”

“In South City, Huo Sisi was looking for trouble. She got someone to create trouble at the ski resort. Yuan Xi disregarded his own safety to help me. Brother Nine, don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s just a small trick. It can’t hurt me.”

“Although Yuan Xi didn’t help me stop the other party in the end, he did try to at that time. If he was Jones and I was his father’s killer, why would he risk his life to save me?”

“It’s just that we’ve already eliminated all the suspects. He just returned to South City for a few days and then came to North City again. It’s always hard to not care.”

However, Yin Jiujin acted as if he didn’t hear her last sentence. He stared at her and asked, “Why did he disregard his own safety to save you?” He was grateful that the other party had saved the young lady, but although he was grateful, he still cared about it.

Yan Jinyu was stunned. She didn’t expect him to ask this.

She thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps, he has a high empathy and is willing to sacrifice himself for others?”

Yin Jiujin snorted inwardly.

He had only met him once, but he could tell that that boy was definitely not a warm-hearted person.

“No matter what, we can’t let our guard down,” he said without any selfishness. He was just stating the facts.

That was what Yin Jiujin thought anyway.

“Of course I know.”

“Do you need me to investigate?”

“There’s no need to.” Yan Jinyu looked up at him. “Isn’t Brother Nine investigating the person behind the Empire Group’s accident?”

“Mm-hm.”

“Then, Brother Nine should focus on that. If Yuan Xi is really Jones, it’s very likely that the person behind her is the same person, or… the same group of people.”

“On the other hand, Brother Nine, you have a lot of capable people under you. Can you lend me a few people to use for a while?”

Looking at him, Yan Jinyu lowered her eyes calmly. “I’m worried that the other party will start with Yun’er. I can’t always stay by Yun’er’s side. I want Brother Nine to lend a few skilled people to protect her secretly.”

“Sure.”

Yin Jiujin seemed very happy.

“I’ll arrange it.”

He raised a hand to cup her face and made her look at him. “I’m glad you thought of asking me for help.”

He raised a hand to cup her face and made her look at him. “I’m glad you thought of asking me for help.”

Yan Jinyu looked at him and bit her lip tightly.

At this moment, her eyes were actually a little teary.

All these years, other than occasionally doing things with the three of them, she had mostly relied on herself.

She did not have the habit of relying on others either.

This wasn’t because she wanted to rely on Yin Jiujin, but because she trusted Yin Jiujin. Yin Jiujin indeed had some useful people under him. Since they were Yin Jiujin’s subordinates, their credibility would be higher, and she didn’t have to worry too much about their abilities.

Upon hearing Yin Jiujin’s words, she actually felt tired for a moment…

This kind of weak emotion was fatal to someone like her who had lived on the edge of danger all year round.

How could Yin Jiujin not sense Yan Jinyu’s emotions?

He did not say much and only kissed her forehead dotingly. Then, he covered her eyes and held her in his arms.

Yan Jinyu couldn’t see anything. Other than Yin Jiujin’s unique scent, there was nothing else in her nose.

It was comforting.

“Don’t think too much. It’s not difficult for me to protect someone in North City.” Compared to the capital, North City was Yin Jiujin’s territory.

“You have to learn to rely on me. I’m your fiancé. I’ll be your husband in the future, not anyone else.”

After a long while, Yan Jinyu, who had buried her face in his arms, answered gloomily, “Mm-hm.”

It was unknown if Yan Jinyu had suddenly figured out something and relaxed her mood or something else, but when they arrived at Mount Jing, Yan Jinyu fell asleep in Yin Jiujin’s arms.

Yin Jiujin carried her out of the car and went straight upstairs to his room.

When they entered the building, Aunt Cheng was a little excited to see them. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for a few days. She was about to greet them when Yin Jiujin stopped her with a look.

When they entered the building, Aunt Cheng was a little excited to see them. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for a few days. She was about to greet them when Yin Jiujin stopped her with a look.

He covered her with the blanket but did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat on the bed and looked at her.

The young lady’s face was only the size of a palm. She was only 18 years old, but she had experienced so much.

She looked innocent, but her thoughts were so deep that others could not see through her.

She had probably never experienced the feeling of having someone to rely on in her life.

It was undeniable that she did have a few trusted partners, and they were the kind that one could completely trust with one’s life.

However, partners were only partners in the end. They could be one another’s backup, but they could not completely relax and rely on the other party.

Everyone had times when they were tired, let alone an 18-year-old girl.

She had been too tense all these years.

Once again, Yin Jiujin regretted not looking for her earlier.

After sitting by the bed for a long time, Yin Jiujin got up and left for the study.

He first arranged for someone to protect Yan Jinyun in the dark before making a call.

“Let’s work together.”

Feng Yun, who suddenly received the call, was stunned.

It had been a few years since his phone last rang, and only a few people knew the number.

Oh, Yin Jiujin had given him the phone when he returned to the Yin Family. At that time, Yin Jiujin was still in the army and had no conflict with the Yin Family.

“Cooperate about what?”

“Feng Yun, don’t pretend to be stupid. You know what I want to cooperate about? I won’t ask about your matter. Of course, even if I ask, you might not say much. Our cooperation is only limited to information sharing. I know that you have more ways to find out about Ghost Slaughter’s people than me.”

“What… happened to you?”

“My heart aches for my girl. Can’t I? I just want to get rid of these troubles as soon as possible so that my people can live a carefree life.”

“That’s naturally good, but Jin, don’t you think you’ve overprotected that girl? Not to mention years ago, even Ghost Slaughter Island at its peak could be destroyed by her. She can completely handle such a small problem.”

“I know she can handle it, but I feel sorry for her.”

“She’s only 18 years old. She shouldn’t have to endure so much.”

Feng Yun fell silent.

Indeed, an 18-year-old should not have endured so much.

However, who hadn’t suffered a lot at 18 years old?

Jin did, and so did he.

“Alright, I agree to cooperate. However, Jin, don’t show your emotions to others. In that case, everyone can tell that that girl is your weakness.”

“Fortunately, the little girl is not a delicate flower. Otherwise, you won’t be so invincible in the future. The little girl will become your enemy’s bargaining chip to deal with you.”

“You don’t have to teach me that.” Then, Yin Jiujin said, “If you want to put on the airs of an elder brother to teach me, wait until you have the ability to walk out of your courtyard.”
