Thatâs right. The mother of the current head of the Jones Family was the biological daughter of the Bo Family, and Bo Langâs mother was the adopted daughter of the Bo Family.
Bo Langâs mother was forced upon by Old Jones when she went to visit her sickly adopted sister.
Old Jones was a pervert. He kept her in the Jones Family and then she gave birth to Bo Lang.
Both the biological daughter and the adopted daughter of the Bo Family were tortured to death by Old Jones.
Bo Lang was only four years old when his mother died.
Old Jones whipped at Bo Lang. His mother took it for him.
Her body had been abused all year round. She was dead after being whipped.
âGrateful? My dear brother, youâre so naive. You actually came to talk about gratitude with me? Do I have that kind of thing?â
âDonât be naive. Do what I tell you obediently. Otherwise, you know the consequences.â
The other party hung up.
Bo Lang held his phone tightly. If he hadnât tried his best to hold it in, he would have thrown his phone out.
He was trembling all over.
In the end, he picked up his chopsticks and finished the barbecue. Then, he slowly suppressed his anger.
***
At six oâclock, they gathered for an outdoor party.
Everyone sat on the ground according to their class.
There was a simple stage in front with the brightest lights.
The form teacher of each class sat at the front of the class.
Xiao Qun took out his phone to take a look. It was 6:10 pm. The people he sent out had not called back to report.
In other words, the mission failed. They failed to kidnap Yan Jinyun!
He knew best how skilled the people he sent were, but they still failed. The other party must have been prepared.
He was actually tricked!
She was indeed worthy of being the number one killer, Chi, on the Assassin Ranking. She had even acted so well. He had been fooled!
Very good! Very good!
Under the dim lights, his face that was mostly covered by his glasses was filled with a ruthless smile and excitement.
He had long known that Chi was a very interesting person.
She indeed did not disappoint him!
He almost couldnât bear to kill her.
âJinyu, do you want to go up and perform later?â Tan Shiyun, who was sitting beside Yan Jinyu, asked.
Yan Jinyu shook her head. âNo.â She chuckled. âIâm not talented.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat about you?â
âThen I wonât go either. There are many talented people in school. Iâd better be an audience quietly.â
The emcees were a boy and a girl. They were both members of the schoolâs broadcast station. They were considered seniors of the schoolâs broadcast station, so they would retire in their third year.
After the opening speech, many people volunteered to go on stage. They lined up and went on stage one by one.
Singing, dancing, piano and guitar recitals, and even some improvised skits. There were all kinds of programs.
Tan Shiyun thought that Yan Jinyu wouldnât be interested in these things. But when she turned her head to look over, she realized that Yan Jinyu was looking at them very seriously. She even looked very curious.
She was surprised.
This was really a very different big shot.
Actually, other than the so-called mission, there was another more important reason why she interacted with Yan Jinyu from the beginning. That was that she really liked Yan Jinyu from the first time she saw her.
Otherwise, how could she, who came to North City for a mission, take the risk to get close to Yan Jinyu for the so-called mission?
Before she met Yan Jinyu, all her understanding of Yan Jinyu came from the rumors outside. She only knew that she was infamous.
After seeing Yan Jinyu, her first impression of Yan Jinyu was that she was very beautiful, cute, and very likable.
Anyway, after seeing her in person, she had a very good impression of Yan Jinyu.
Looking at her now, how could she be the number one killer who could kill without batting an eyelid? She was clearly an ordinary high school student, and one who thought that the studentsâ performances were very refreshing.
She unconsciously lowered her breathing, afraid that she would disturb Yan Jinyu, who was focused on watching the show.
However, just because she didnât disturb Yan Jinyu didnât mean that the others didnât either.
Yuan Xi, who was sitting behind Yan Jinyu on the right, suddenly stood up and walked towards Yan Jinyu. He bent down and whispered, âEldest Miss Yan, can we talk in private?â
Almost instinctively, Tan Shiyun immediately grabbed Yan Jinyuâs sleeve.
Yan Jinyu and Yuan Xi looked at her at the same time. Tan Shiyun retracted her hand slightly awkwardly, âThereâs a bug on your clothes. I helped you slap it away.â
After saying that, she looked up and met Yuan Xiâs gaze. She frowned.
Yuan Xi looked at her deeply before his gaze landed on Yan Jinyu again, âEldest Miss Yan, can we talk in private?â
Tan Shiyun raised her hand hesitantly to grab Yan Jinyuâs sleeve again, but in the end, she put it down.
Forget it. Her status did not allow her to do that either.
She was the heir of the Bo Family, whose grandfather supported the Jones Family and asked her to help that person succeed with all her might. All she could do was try her best not to get involved and not work for that person. She couldnât do anything else other than that.
Even if she knew that Yuan Xiâs so-called excuse would very likely harm Yan Jinyu.
However, if she really did nothing, she really could not get over the psychological barrier.
Hence, after hesitating for a moment, she still said, âCome back early. Iâll wait for you to watch the performance together. Then, when itâs about time, weâll return to the room together.â
Looking at her, Yan Jinyu smiled. âAlright.â
She stood up and left with Yuan Xi under the curious gazes of their classmates nearby.
On the other hand, Bo Lang, who was sitting at the back, only glanced at them before retracting his gaze.
He continued to rest his eyes.
Actually, according to Bo Langâs unruly style, he didnât have to be present in every class and every event.
However, Bo Lang did it.
Those who did not know better would think that he was a good student. Although his actions were difficult to understand, he was actually just protecting the person he wanted to protect.
âWhat are they doing? When did Eldest Miss Yan get so close to Yuan Xi?â Xu Gui, who was sitting beside Luo Yikun, patted his shoulder.
Without waiting for Luo Yikun to reply, he said, âCould it be that Yuan Xi has taken a fancy to Eldest Miss Yan? How bold. He actually dares to snatch her from Master Nine! This is even more dangerous than snatching food from the tigerâs mouth, right?â
âDonât interfere in other peopleâs matters lest you get yourself into trouble.â
What?!
Xu Gui looked at him strangely.
Of course, he understood Luo Yikunâs words. It was precisely because he understood that he was so shocked.
Damn it, was Luo Yikun concerned about him again?
Luo Yikun knocked his head. âWhat are you looking at? Watch the performance. Mind your own business!â
âNo, Luo Yikun, are you concerned about me?â
Luo Yikun looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. âYou only realized it now? I said that I would be your friend. Do you think Iâm joking?â
âYouâre my friend. Of course, I care about you.â
ââ¦â Xu Gui was speechless for a moment. His mood was indescribably complicated.
âWhy are you in a daze? Donât tell me youâre so touched that you canât speak?â
âWhoâs touched?! Also, donât flatter yourself. Who wants to be friends with a jerk like you?â
âJerk?â Luo Yikunâs face suddenly leaned closer. âYou keep saying the word âjerkâ. You sound like a disappointed little wife.â
Xu Guiâs face turned red and he quickly retreated. He almost bumped into the person behind him, but Luo Yikun quickly pulled him back.
âYouâre so clumsy. You didnât hit anywhere, right?â
ââ¦Iâm a man. So what if I hit something? Canât I even withstand a little injury? Donât treat me like some pampered little girl who canât be hurt!â
âAlright, alright, whatever you say.â
ââ¦â Xu Gui.
âAlright, sit quietly. Everyone is looking over here. Those who donât know might think that something has happened.â
Xu Gui looked and indeed, many people were looking at them. For some reason, his face turned even redder, âAm I the one whoâs making a fuss? Itâs clearly you!â
âYes, yes, itâs me.â
âAnyway, donât interfere in other peopleâs business. Itâs not something you can interfere in. Sit here quietly. Iâm going to the washroom.â
âLuo Yikun!â Just as he stood up and was about to leave, Xu Gui called out to him.
Luo Yikun turned back to look at him. âWhy? Canât bear for me to leave? Or do you want to accompany me to the washroom?â
âWho canât bear to let you leave! Who wants to accompany you to the washroom! I want to say that you told me not to poke my nose into other peopleâs business. Youâre not leaving now because you yourself want to interfere,right?â
Luo Yikun jerked slightly. âWhat naive words are you talking about? Do I look like the kind of person who would poke his nose into other peopleâs business?â
Xu Gui shook his head decisively, âNo.â
It successfully made Luo Yikunâs lips twitch.
He should at least struggle a little. Was his image that bad?
âIâm going. How annoying!â
Xu Gui, who did not understand anything, could not be bothered to look at him. He continued to watch the performance on the stage.
Yan Jinyu and Yuan Xi didnât go far. They stopped under a tree not far away.
Luo Yikun didnât go to the washroom either. He hid in a dark place where he could hear their conversation without being discovered by them.
âYoung Master Yuan, if you have anything to say, please say it.â Actually, according to Yan Jinyuâs personality, she wouldnât follow Yuan Xi over as soon as she called out. She was watching the performance excitedly.
It was Tan Shiyunâs reaction that made her change her mind.
If it wasnât for Tan Shiyunâs reaction, she wouldnât have agreed to Yuan Xiâs so-called âtalk in privateâ. Their relationship was so complicated that even she was interested.
Of course, she was only interested. She would not waste time and effort to investigate.
It would be best if she could figure it out without wasting time and effort. If she couldnât, it didnât matter.
âLeave here and return to Mount Jing. Leave right now.â
âYou want me to go back? Now?â Yan Jinyu looked at him strangely.
âYes, now. Immediately.â
âItâs already dark. Besides, Iâm here to play. Why should I go back?â
âSomeone wants to kill you!â
Of course, she knew that. It was precisely because she knew that she found it more interesting when she heard Yuan Xi say it.
It was not the first time Yuan Xi had been abnormal since she went to Boyu to school.
On the first day she arrived in Boyu, Yuan Xi, who had always been alone, had eaten with them in the canteen. Later on, Yuan Xi told her to stay away from Bo Lang. The reason was that Bo Lang was very dangerous.
She was puzzled. She could still understand why Bo Lang said strange things to her. After all, she had met Bo Lang before.
Yuan Xi?
They had not interacted much in the past. The first time they met was on the plane to South City when she was invited by Little Rain before the new year.
She was really curious about his intentions for thinking so much about her.
âOh? Who wants to kill me?â
