Although this person was also filled with fear, compared to those few people, he was a little braver. At least, he was not so frightened that he fainted.
âI-I didnât know it was you. Sorry for offending you.â
These words were said to Yan Jinyu with a very respectful attitude.
Usually, there was only one type of person who was afraid and respectful of Yan Jinyu, and that was⦠killers.
âDo you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?â
That person was shocked. He was afraid that Yan Jinyu would raise her hand and take his life. He hurriedly said, âI really donât know!â
âIf I knew that it was you, how would I dare to overestimate myself and make a move in front of you? Iâve accepted a mission. The target of the mission is the eldest young madam of the Yin Family. If you donât believe me, you can investigate. This mission is indeed on the websiteâs mission board.â
Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled faintly, âAssassinate the eldest young madam of the Yin Family in the Second Young Masterâs territory? As a killer, are you that stupid?â
When killers carried out missions, they would always think of a way out. Usually, they would not choose a place where they could not escape after making a move.
If he couldnât complete the mission this time, there would be a next time. There was no need to lose his life for a mission.
Hence, Yan Jinyu didnât believe a word that this person said.
âAre you thinking that since Iâve retired, I mightâve forgotten how killers usually do things?â
âI wouldnât dare!â the person quickly said. His hands that were tied behind his back were clasped tightly. This was a sign of extreme nervousness. âIâm telling the truth. If you donât believe me, you can go to the website to check the mission records.â
Yan Jinyu glanced at him. âMissions can be released as long as one knows how. Canât your own people post it to confuse others?â
Without giving the person a chance to speak, Yan Jinyu continued, âJust take it that what you said is true. Tell me now, who issued the mission?â
âItâs the Second Missy of the Qin Family, Qin Bailu.â
âQin Bailu?â Yan Jinyuâs question was very ambiguous.
âYes! Itâs the Second Missy of the Qin Family, Qin Bailu. You can investigate it. There are records on the mission board. You can easily find them. As for why Qin Bailu wants to kill the eldest young madam of the Yin Family, I donât know. You know that us killers only care about accepting missions and donât care about other peopleâs grudges.â
âAlright, just treat it as a mission Qin Bailu issued. Then, tell me, why did you choose to attack in the Empire Mall? Are you so confident that you could retreat from the Yin Familyâs Second Young Masterâs territory? If thatâs the case, even I have to admire you. I donât even have the confidence to do so.â
Yin Jiujin raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
It seemed like the young lady acknowledged his ability.
It felt good to be thought so highly of by the number one killer.
In actuality, if this number one killer wasnât Yan Jinyu, how could he feel good because he was thought highly of?
Yin Jiujin kept looking at Yan Jinyu. How could she not sense the change in his gaze? She turned to look at him and grinned at him.
âBrother Nine, Iâve always been quite wary of you.â
The corners of Yin Jiujinâs lips curled up slightly. âIs that so? Why canât I tell?â She was about to ride on top of his head and behave atrociously. Was she still wary of him?
âThatâs because I didnât show it. To be honest, Brother Nine, I really donât have a chance of winning if youâre my enemy.â
It was strange. She could even destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, but she wasnât confident that she could defeat Yin Jiujin. They had clearly never fought before, so why did she have such a feeling?
It was fine if she had such a feeling now. After all, Yin Jiujin was someone she wanted to protect. There was no need for her to compete with him for victory or defeat, but what about in the past?
In the past, Yin Jiujin didnât hold much weight in her heart.
It could only be said that Yin Jiujin was really formidable. She didnât have the confidence to win even when she hadnât gone against him.
âThat might not be the case,â Yin Jiujin said.
This was a girl who could even deceive him. If she was really an enemy, he might not be able to beat her.
The young lady looked too harmless most of the time.
Yes, she even looked very pitiful.
Even though she didnât deliberately fake that.
It was precisely because she did not pretend that she could deceive him.
Yan Jinyuâs eyes lit up. âBrother Nine, so you finally admit that Iâm very formidable?â
ââ¦â Yin Jiujin.
Her thoughts were so jumpy. She was still interrogating someone when the topic jumped so quickly. She didnât look calm or look like the number one killer at all.
âLetâs interrogate him first.â
âOh, right. Iâm still interrogating someone.â
It wasnât that she wasnât calm enough, but Yan Jinyu actually didnât take this killer seriously. At least, compared to Yin Jiujin, this killer didnât have any importance at all.
If Yan Jinyu wasnât calm enough, how could she possibly endure and plan for so many years to destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, which was at its peak? How could the other three listen to her on important matters?
Xi Fengling, Min Rufeng, and Huo Siyu were independent people.
Yan Jinyuâs gaze finally returned to the killer. The killer felt rather complicated.
Although he was panicking, he could not help but be shocked. It turned out that the two people who were feared outside were actually like this in private.
âI donât dare to. I know my limits. The reason why I chose to make a move in the Empire Mall was because I had been following Eldest Young Madam Yin to find an opportunity to make a move. Coincidentally, I happened to encounter someone looking for trouble in the mall, so I took advantage of the chaos to make a move. It was such a chaotic occasion. It was very easy for me to get away at that time.â
He looked at Yan Jinyu. âThe premise is that youâre not present.â
âOn the account that weâre in the same line, Iâll give you another chance,â Yan Jinyu said.
Same line?
How many peers had died at her hands?
She said that entirely because she hoped that this person would be sensible and say more so that she could save some effort.
âI-Iâm telling the truth. This is really the case. If you donât believe me, you can get Second Miss Qin to confront me.â
âConfrontation?â Yan Jinyu chuckled. âDo I look like the kind of person who is very patient?â
âSince you donât want the chance I gave you, donât blame me.â
As she spoke, she raised her left hand.
The man looked frightened. âIâll talk! Iâll talk!â
Yan Jinyu sneered, âItâs too late.â
With a wave of her hand, that man died with remaining grievances.
Yin Jiujin didnât stop her this time.
He didnât expect her to do this. He didnât expect her to really kill him and he didnât have the time to stop her.
In such a situation, the normal thing to do was to keep him alive first. Whether it was a confrontation or an interrogation, they would always get the answers they wanted.
But she killed him right away.
Even Yin Jiujin sighed.
Everyone said that he did things as he pleased, but why did he feel that the young lady was, in fact, the one who did things as she pleased?
Yan Jinyu tidied her clothes and stood up. âLetâs go, Brother Nine.â
Yin Jiujin glanced at her and stood up as well. He walked over and held her hand. âWhy did you kill her? You could have gotten the answer after asking for a while longer.â
âIâve given him a chance, but he didnât say it.â She smiled at Yin Jiujin. âI rarely give others a chance. Itâs just that he doesnât know how to grasp it.â
Yin Jiujinâs heart skipped a beat.
Did this mean that if he didnât explain in time when the young lady misunderstood that he was related to Yu Qingwan at Mount Jing that day, she wouldnât have given him another chance?
He was glad that he had explained it in time.
Seeing that he was staring at her with a complicated expression, Yan Jinyu asked curiously, âBrother Nine, why are you staring at me?â
ââ¦You killed him just like that. Donât you want to know whoâs behind this?â
âIt doesnât matter. Weâre all enemies anyway. Weâll kill whoever comes.â
âBesides, even if I know who it is, I still have to investigate the other partyâs whereabouts. How much effort would I have to put in? If they really want to kill me, they will come again after failing once. Iâll wait for them to send themselves to me first.â
âYouâ¦â Yin Jiujin was momentarily speechless.
âYouâre not right. This is undoubtedly putting yourself in danger. If you have enemies, you should find them and kill them all.â
Yan Jinyu blinked. âBut Brother Nine, I have too many enemies. I canât kill them all.â
ââ¦â Yin Jiujin.
Yan Jinyu couldnât help but laugh. She let go of his hand and held his arm. âAlright, Brother Nine, donât worry. I havenât met anyone who can kill me yet. Iâll be fine. Just take it that Iâm bored and waiting for someone to come looking for fun.â
Yin Jiujin suddenly stopped and looked at her. âLittle Yuâer, do you know who sent them?â
Yan Jinyu sighed inwardly and said helplessly, âBrother Nine, why canât I hide anything from you? I clearly didnât say anything or show it.â
She sighed again. âThatâs why Iâm afraid of you.â
âYouâre not going to tell me?â
âI was. After all, I was only guessing and wasnât completely confident. If I told you, it would make you worry. Itâs better not to say it. However, since you can tell, I naturally have to tell you. However, thereâs no hurry now.â
â?â Yin Jiujin was puzzled.
The next second, Yan Jinyuâs eyes curved into crescents. She smiled and jumped up to hug his neck. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
She could barely tolerate killing one person, but she really could not tolerate it after killing two people.
The weapons that she had meticulously made were meant not to get stained with blood, and the people who died under her weapons would not bleed much. However, she would smell a strong bloody scent.
She didnât vomit until she was dizzy because she had killed too many people and got used to it.
However, the disgusting scent of blood still affected her.
The two of them had already walked out of the iron cell and were standing in the corridor.
When she kissed him, Yin Jiujin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood.
He had already seen her abnormality when she killed the first person, so he stopped her from attacking again.
She clearly didnât like it, but her actions were fast, ruthless, and accurate. She didnât even blink when she killed someone.
Yin Jiujin was a little helpless, but his heart ached more than his helplessness.
She didnât like to kill people, but she was already used to killing people.
She almost always killed her enemies directly to prevent future trouble. This was probably related to her experiences on Ghost Slaughter Island.
He wrapped his arms around her and lowered his head to hers.
He did not fight for the initiative and let her be.
Even if Yan Jinyu had always been the one in charge, this kiss still lasted for a long time.
This was the aftereffect of Yan Jinyu killing someone. It was just like how every time she killed someone in the past, she had to drink a lot of yogurt to suppress the nausea.
The two people following them had already turned their backs away when Yan Jinyu jumped up and kissed Yin Jiujin.
They werenât too shocked. After all, after seeing Yan Jinyuâs carefree style with their own eyes, their shock had reached its peak.
After a long while, the kiss ended.
Yan Jinyu hugged Yin Jiujinâs waist with both hands and leaned in his arms. She looked up at him with a bright smile on her face. âBrother Nine.â
Yin Jiujin looked down at her with an indulgent gaze. âYes?â
