Be it the punch that hit him or him hitting the desk, he was obviously already seriously injured. He even vomited blood.
Chu Ling was surprised that he could stand up.
Then, excitement flashed in her eyes.
This was the aftereffect of her doing illegal boxing for so many yearsâshe could not help but feel excited when she met a durable opponent.
Chu Ling was about to continue fighting when there was a sudden bang. Liu Yu had thrown a smoke bomb.
Instantly, there was smoke everywhere.
Chu Ling quickly covered her mouth and nose and retreated. âGet out of the way. The smoke is poisonous!â
Two bodyguards fell to the ground before they could dodge.
The other bodyguards who were lucky enough to avoid it, turned pale.
It was really poisonous!
After the smoke dissipated, there was no one else in the room.
Only the floor-to-ceiling window connecting the balcony was open. That person had already escaped!
âSecond Miss Yan, settle it here. Iâll go after that person! Also, call Miss Yu to tell her the situation!â
This was the most words Yan Jinyun had heard Chu Ling say in all the time they had met.
Before she could reply, Chu Ling snatched the gun from the bodyguard and quickly jumped down from the balcony.
They were on the second floor, but she jumped down just like thatâ¦
Everyone was shocked.
âBossâ¦â
The bodyguard who had the gun snatched away from him, recovered from his daze. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Jinyun interrupted, âSend them to the hospital first. Also, strengthen the Yan Familyâs guards! When I hired you, I told you that itâs very dangerous around me. I told you to be vigilant at all times. I hope that todayâs incident where someone can easily sneak into my room, wonât happen again!â
âWe were incompetent and disappointed you, Boss!â
âItâs true that youâre not doing your job well, but honestly speaking, itâs not your fault. The personâs skills are obviously far above yours. You canât guard against him at all. Be more vigilant in the future.â
Yan Jinyun was actually showing kindness and might at the same time.
âYes, Boss!â
âAlso, I donât want anyone else to know what happened today. Do you understand?â
âUnderstood! Boss, donât worry. Weâll keep our mouths shut!â
âAlright, all of you can go down now. Heighten our defense and send them to the hospital.â
âThen, should we follow Miss Chu and chase after the intruder?â
Yan Jinyun paused, âThereâs no need to.â
âYou all are not his match. You wonât be of much help even if you go.â
The bodyguards instantly felt that they were very useless. They took the money and could not do their job.
However, they knew very well that Yan Jinyun was telling the truth.
They wouldnât be of much help even if they went. They might even be drugged like the two people who canât get up now!
After the bodyguards left, Yan Jinyun was the only one left in the room.
Yan Jinyun didnât hesitate. She walked to the desk and picked up her phone to call Yan Jinyu.
At that moment, Yan Jinyu had just hung up on Xi Fengling. She stood up and took out her casual night suit to change into.
She was at the Mount West Villa now.
Yin Jiujin sent her to school for a night on Sunday night, and she returned to Mount West Villa on Monday night.
She had promised Yin Jiujin that she would accompany him in the future.
If Yin Jiujin hadnât âtorturedâ her too much previously, she wouldnât have requested to return to school.
She had already washed up and was leaning against the headboard reading a medical book when she received Xi Fenglingâs call. Yin Jiujin was showering in the bathroom.
She wanted to tell Yin Jiujin that she wanted to make a trip to the Yu Family.
However, she changed her mind when she looked at the closed bathroom door.
After Yan Jinyu told Yin Jiujin that Qin Jianjia might be pregnant, Yin Jiujin called Yin Yuhan on the way back when he sent Yan Jinyu to the Imperial Capital University that night.
It wasnât his style to beat around the bush. Yin Jiujin told the truth directly.
He told Yin Yuhan exactly what Yan Jinyu told him.
Yin Yuhan knew Yin Jiujin well and knew that since he had called, it was very likely 90% true.
However, he didnât ask Qin Jianjia immediately. He suppressed his nervousness and excitement and hugged Qin Jianjia to sleep. He wanted to bring Qin Jianjia to the hospital the next day.
He wanted to bring her to the hospital to take a look with the excuse that she did not look well.
Of course, Qin Jianjia had rejected him.
She was also very worried that Yin Yuhan had discovered it.
In the past, she undoubtedly wanted to share this good news with Yin Yuhan. However, under the current situation, she was afraid that Yin Yuhan would be more worried when he found out.
She found an excuse not to go to the hospital. She said that she was fine and simply didnât rest well.
This made Yin Yuhan even more certain that Yin Jiujin was telling the truth.
In the end, they did not make it to the hospital.
Since it was very likely that Qin Jianjia was pregnant and yet she didnât want to go to the hospital, with Yin Yuhanâs understanding of her over the years, he quickly understood the reason.
He followed Qin Jianjiaâs wishes and didnât go to the hospital.
However, after Qin Jianjia went downstairs, he took out the thing that Qin Jianjia had hidden in the bedside table.
Seeing the content, Yin Yuhan was stunned for a long time.
Then, the gentle and calm man chuckled softly.
He suppressed his excitement and placed the thing back.
He didnât tell anyone and pretended that nothing had happened.
However, after they went downstairs, he used the excuse that the enemy was eyeing them covetously and that Yin Jiujin was worried about their safety to make Qin Jianjia and Min Qinglan ask for leave to stay at home for a while. It was best for them not to go out.
Since it was Yin Jiujinâs request, Qin Jianjia and Min Qinglan didnât have any doubts and agreed readily. Only Yin Wuzhan and Yin Shuguo looked at Yin Yuhan suspiciously.
However, they did not ask further.
Then, Yin Jiujin busied himself with the Empire Group while investigating Liu Guangâs whereabouts.
He had been very busy for the past two days.
Although Yin Jiujin didnât feel busy, Yan Jinyu felt that he was very busy and tired.
Her heart ached for him, so she didnât want to disturb him with this.
Because she knew very well that once she told him, he would definitely follow her to the Yu Family.
In reality, regardless of whether Liu Guang and the others were in the Yu Family, the four of them acting at the same time was completely enough to deal with them.
She wanted Yin Jiujin to rest at home, even if the so-called rest was just lying in bed awake and waiting for her to come back.
Yan Jinyu decided to change into her night suit and leave before Yin Jiujin came out from the shower. She was about to speed up her change of clothes.
At this moment, her phone rang.
She walked over with her night suit and picked up her phone.
Seeing the caller ID, Yan Jinyuâs hand jerked.
The call connected.
âYunâer, why are you calling at this time?â
Yan Jinyun knew that that person was very likely Yan Jinyuâs enemy. She didnât know the other partyâs purpose, but Yan Jinyu might know it.
Hence, she told Yan Jinyu the situation without hiding anything. âThereâs an intruder whoâs very skilled. The Yan Familyâs mansion is so heavily guarded, but he could sneak into my room silently. I donât know who he is.â
Yan Jinyuâs heart skipped a beat, but it only lasted for a second before she slowly calmed down.
Because Yan Jinyun had roughly guessed that she would be worried, she paused for a second to catch her breath before explaining immediately, âBut Sister, donât worry. Iâm fine. Chu Ling rushed over in time to save me. Unfortunately, that person escaped. Chu Ling has already chased after him. I wonder if she can catch him.â
âI didnât send anyone to help Chu Ling because I think with that personâs skills, the bodyguards around me canât help at all. If they follow him, they might even be a burden to Chu Ling.â
âSister, what should I do now?â
âIs that person a man or a woman? How old is he or she?â
âA man. He looked about 25 or 26 years old. When he appeared, he had a dagger in his left hand and a gun in his right. At first, he only flashed his dagger, but it didnât seem like he wanted to kill me. Later on, I wanted to run away. He was afraid that I would alert the others, so he took out his gun and threatened me.â
This was Yan Jinyunâs analysis.
âAlright, I roughly understand. When Chu Ling comes back, get her to follow you as usual.â
âDonât worry. Since the other party knows that you have someone protecting you and has fled in defeat, she wonât appear again. You can sleep in peace. Tomorrow, youâll go about your day as usual. Go to school if you have to. Go to the company to work if you have to. I have my own arrangements.â
Yan Jinyun had many questions in her heart, but she still couldnât ask them.
She also knew that now was not the time to ask them.
âOkay.â
After hanging up, Yan Jinyu made another call.
North City was Yin Jiujinâs territory. Even if Yin Jiujin had returned to the capital, the Empire Building in North City was still there. It was just that it was no longer the Empire Groupâs headquarters.
Many of Yin Jiujinâs people remained in North City too.
Yan Jinyuâs call was to someone with authority among the people Yin Jiujin had left in North City. She instructed them to send more people to hunt a person in the entire city.
She didnât know who the other party was, but she knew very well that it must be Liu Guangâs people.
Since they were Liu Guangâs people and could escape from Chu Ling, the only person she could guess now was Liu Yu.
She described Liu Yuâs appearance to the person on the other end of the line.
It would be best if she guessed correctly. If she didnât, the commotion caused by the entire city pursuing someone could also make the person who had sneaked into North City to attack Yan Jinyun hide in a corner and not dare to act rashly.
Of course, if that person was Liu Yu, it would probably be very difficult to chase after him when he had already successfully escaped.
Even when the person chasing him was Chu Ling.
Just as Yan Jinyu hung up, Yin Jiujin walked out of the bathroom.
The sound of water in the bathroom was loud, but who was Yin Jiujin?
With his sharp senses, he could hear the commotion outside even when the water kept flowing.
He had heard everything Yan Jinyu said.
Worried that something had happened, he quickly washed up and came out.
He didnât expect to see Yan Jinyu throwing her phone on the bed when he came out of the bathroom. She was about to change into her night suit.
Yan Jinyu naturally heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.
She looked up and their gazes met.
Yan Jinyu didnât avoid it and only sighed inwardly.
âI have some clues about Liu Guang. Iâm going to investigate. Iâm not alone. Feng, Meimei and Little Rain are going together with me.â
âBrother Nine, you know that Auntie Yin is still in Liu Guangâs hands. Even if we know his whereabouts, we canât do anything to him. This time, weâre just going to confirm if heâs hiding there. At the same time, weâll destroy one of his hiding places and give him some trouble.â
However, Yin Jiujin looked straight at her. âSo, Little Yuâer, you didnât intend to tell me this at first. Are you planning to go secretly alone?â
âNot alone. Thereâs also Feng and the girls. Besides, I donât intend to go secretly. Iâm planning to leave a message for you.â
That was not a lie.
