âI donât know where he moved to. After the incident at Ghost Slaughter Island four years ago, Liu Guang moved him away. However, I guess he moved him to his base in the capital.â
âI only know one of them. I donât know who the other is.â
âWho do you know?â
However, Chu Ying didnât answer directly. Instead, she looked at Yan Jinyu and negotiated, âIf I say it, you have to let us go!â
Since she had already admitted that she was related to Liu Guang, Chu Ying wasnât as calm as before when she pretended not to know anything.
She had heard of Yan Jinyuâs name and was very afraid that Yan Jinyu would vent her hatred for Liu Guang on her and suddenly attack her.
Not to mention Yin Jiujin, who had an extremely strong aura, was standing at her side.
So, when Chu Ying said these conditions, she was actually very nervous.
Suddenly, she saw Yan Jinyu looking at her with a faint smile. âYou can choose not to say it.â
Chu Ying didnât expect her to have such a reaction.
How was she going to negotiate with her like this?
Yan Jinyu waved the whip in her hand and was about to whip Chu Yiran again.
Chu Ying gritted her teeth and hurriedly said, âAlright, Iâll talk!â
âOne of them is Feng Li!â
There was a moment of silence.
Yan Jinyu didnât say anything. Yin Jiujin pursed his lips and tightened his face.
Yan Jinyu had actually already guessed it. After all, Yin Xiaoxiao was still alive. It wasnât surprising that Feng Li wasnât dead.
However, she was not sure yet.
However, even if she already had a guess, hearing Chu Yingâs words, she stillâ¦
How should she put it? She just felt that it was a little unbelievable.
She found it unbelievable that Liu Guang actually kept Feng Li alive for so many years.
It was still understandable that he kept Yin Xiaoxiao alive. After all, perhaps Yin Xiaoxiao to him, wasâ¦
But why did he keep Feng Li alive?
Upon hearing this news, Yan Jinyu, who didnât have any feelings for Feng Li and Yin Xiaoxiao, fell silent, let alone Yin Jiujin.
That was Yin Jiujinâs aunt and uncle.
Looking at Yin Jiujin and Feng Yunâs relationship, he knew that his relationship with his aunt and uncle definitely wouldnât be bad.
Yan Jinyu gently reached out and held his hand.
She comforted him silently.
Yin Jiujinâs faint emotions slowly calmed down.
He lowered his eyes and smiled at her.
It meant that he was fine.
Yan Jinyu was relieved and turned to Chu Ying again, âThis is really unexpected.â
âItâs indeed a huge handle. No wonder Liu Guang is threatened by you. If the Yin Family finds out about this, Liu Guang will definitely be in endless trouble.â
âNo, it should be said that if this news gets out, the higher-ups will probably be alarmed too. Back then, Feng Liâs position was quite high and he was responsible for some special cases. He had been working for the higher-ups for many years and had fallen into the hands of the enemy. It was impossible for the higher-ups to not care when they found out that he was still alive.â
To a certain extent, Qin Haoâs current job scope was Feng Li and Yin Xiaoxiaoâs job scope back then.
âThen, is the value of my information enough for you to let us go?â
âThe information is indeed valuable, but itâs probably not enough to exchange for both of you.â
Chu Ying was furious. âYouââ
âDonât be anxious. Iâm not done talking.â
She looked at Wang Zhi and Min Sisi in the cell. âWhat about the two of them? You obviously are not going to save themâ¦â
âWhat do they have to do with me? I just want you to let go of me and my daughter!â
Yan Jinyu glanced over calmly. âI told you not to be anxious. If you continue to argue with me like this, Iâll lose my patience. Youâll probably all have to stay here.â
Chu Ying was shocked and knew that she wasnât joking.
Even if she said that with a smile.
She didnât dare to say anything else.
Yan Jinyu smiled in satisfaction. âWouldnât it be better if you had known your place earlier? You donât have to waste my time.â
Chu Ying was angry, but she could only hold it in.
âThe information is valuable, but it canât be exchanged for their lives. This is Young Master Qinâs territory. Miss Chu is still a spy. How can she leave so easily? However, itâs not like she canât leave.â
âAs for Eldest Miss Chu, I donât care how many people youâve killed in the Chu Family because of your grudges with the Chu Family. However, I donât care doesnât mean that a righteous person like Young Master Qin doesnât care, let alone that youâre still involved with Liu Guang, whom Young Master Qin has been paying attention to.â
âItâs difficult for you to leave here.â
âOf course, itâs possible to leave here.â
âYour information is not enough for two people to leave, but I can let one of you go. Now, come and discuss which one of you should leave?â
Yan Jinyu suddenly felt that she was being so naughty.
She had to sow discord between the mother and daughter.
However, she felt very happy after seeing the two of them change their expressions after hearing her words.
Indeed, she had to annoy Chu Yiran to feel happy.
Otherwise, she would have dealt with Chu Yiran long ago and not have to take such a big detour.
She just felt that it was too easy for Chu Yiran if she got rid of her so simply.
She wanted to kill Yin Jiujin but was also coveting him at the same time. What the hell!
She even used the excuse of being on good terms with Yin Jiujin to deceive others. Yin Jiujin didnât take it to heart because he didnât take her seriously at all. She wasnât as magnanimous as Yin Jiujin.
She was a girl and was an especially petty one.
She just didnât like it when people used Yin Jiujin.
It was disgusting.
âIâll give you a minute to discuss. Tell me the results after youâre done.â
Seeing that Chu Ying was about to speak, Yan Jinyu smiled, âDonât bargain. Otherwise, in the end, Iâm afraid it wonât even be worth this price. In that case, you might all have to stay here.â
As soon as Yan Jinyu finished speaking, Chu Yiran shouted, âMe! Let me go! Mom, I really canât take it anymore. My entire body is covered in injuries. If I donât go out for treatment immediately, Iâll die. Even if I donât die, Iâll be crippled. Look at my face. Itâs almost disfigured! Let me leave, Mom. Just take it that Iâm begging you. Iâm still young. I canât die here!â
She wondered how Chu Yiran could utter such smooth words when she was so weak that she could barely breathe.
However, the more she shouted, the worse Chu Yingâs expression became.
It was as if Chu Ying had never expected Chu Yiran to be so selfish. She actually didnât care about her motherâs life at such a time.
The people who stayed here were very likely to die.
She knew that was the case, but she was still only thinking about herself.
She did not even hesitate!
Then, Chu Ying, who was still a little hesitant at first, said to Yan Jinyu, âLet me go and leave her behind!â
âMom!â
Chu Yiran widened her eyes in disbelief. âMom, how can you be so ruthless? Iâm your biological daughter. Do you want to watch me die here?â
âYouâre my biological daughter, but am I not your biological mother? When you said to let you go just now, did you think about my life? I wanted to give you this opportunity, but I didnât expect you to be an ingrate.â
âDo you think Iâll give my only chance to live to an ingrate?â
âI donât care! Mom, I donât care! You have to save me. I donât want to die. I donât want to be disfigured. I want to leave here! This place is too smelly and there are rats and cockroaches everywhere. Iâll go crazy if I stay here any longer! Mom, you canât leave me here!â
Yan Jinyu watched the show with interest.
Even Min Sisi and Wang Zhi, who were in the cell, were speechless.
Even they could tell that Yan Jinyu did it on purpose. Couldnât these two people tell?
They were actually still fighting among themselves there.
âIgnore her. Let me go!â Chu Ying glared at Chu Yiran and said to Yan Jinyu.
âNo! Let me go. Let my mother stay here! Eldest⦠Eldest Miss Yan, let me go. I promise to leave the capital immediately and never appear in front of you again!â
âIf you let my mother go, my mother still has to control the Chu Corporation and might continue to maintain contact with my father. Not only is this disadvantageous to your cooperation with Chu Xiaohuan, but she might also give my father a helping hand. My mother has a very deep relationship with my father. Itâs impossible for her to really cut ties with my father after she goes out!â
âShut up!â
âIâm not going to shut up! Mom, you actually donât care about my life. Iâm too disappointed in you!â
At that moment, Yan Jinyu spoke up.
âIt seems like you wonât be able to reach a conclusion for a while. In that case, take your time to discuss it. Get someone to inform me when youâre done.â
She instructed the person beside her, âUntie Miss Chu and lock them in the same cell.â
Only then did the two of them react.
At the same time, he said, âYou tricked us!â
Yan Jinyu smiled, âHow can you say that Iâm playing with you? I gave you a chance, but you guys didnât discuss it properly. Since you didnât discuss it properly, Iâll give you guys more time to discuss it properly. Whatâs wrong with that?â
âBesides, on the account that your information is indeed valuable, didnât I separate your daughter from the two of them? This way, they wonât have a chance to fight again. I think Iâve already done my part.â
Chu Ying was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
Chu Yiran was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
âThen, you guys can discuss it slowly. I still have to return to school for class, so Iâll make a move first.â
After saying that, she threw away the whip and held Yin Jiujinâs hand before leaving.
After walking out of the dark cell, Yin Jiujin said, âYou came here today to vent your anger.â
His tone was affirmative.
Before Yan Jinyu could reply, Yin Jiujin said, âIf you want to be angry with them, just be angry with them. Donât be angry with me. Iâm not familiar with them.â
âNo, you canât even be angry with them. Itâs harmful to your health to be angry.â
Most importantly, didnât that mean they held some weight in the young ladyâs heart too if the young lady was angry because of them?
That would not do.
Yan Jinyu chuckled. âBrother Nine, I wonder how shocked they will be if they hear your words. Theyâre all your admirers.â
Yin Jiujin pulled her to a stop and said seriously, âIâm not familiar with them. They have nothing to do with me.â
His expression was too serious, so Yan Jinyu lost the mood to tease him.
âAlright, alright. I got it. Youâre not familiar with them, and you have nothing to do with them.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut Brother Nine, donât you think Iâm a little ruthless? Not only did I get the information out of them but I also locked them up after trying to sow discord between them before I left.â
âRuthless?â Yin Jiujin didnât seem to understand what she meant by ruthless.
âIsnât this normal? To me, thereâs no such thing as letting the enemy go after capturing them. Such an indecisive way of handling things will only leave hidden dangers for yourself.â
âAs for trying to get information out of them, this saying isnât accurate either. To the enemy, thatâs called taking the information you want from them. Itâs not asking for information. At most, itâs an interrogation.â
âItâs just that different people have different methods of interrogation. You can make them tell you what you want to know. No matter what method you use, thatâs your method of interrogation.â
âBesides, theyâre related to Liu Guang. Chu Yiran has been in the army for so many years. Now that sheâs in Qin Haoâs hands, itâs impossible for him to let her go.â
He flicked her forehead. âDonât be silly. Donât forget that youâre the ruthless number one killer. You canât be soft-hearted to your enemies.â
Yan Jinyu covered her forehead and pouted. âHow am I soft-hearted? Iâm just afraid that youâll think that Iâm ruthless.â
He rubbed her head. âSilly.â
âSo what if youâre ruthless? So what if youâre kind and naive? Youâre mine for the rest of your life anyway. I like whatever you are.â
ââ¦â Yan Jinyu. Oh no, her heart was racing.
She coughed lightly and avoided his burning gaze.
Yan Jinyu changed the topic. âBrother Nine, about your uncleâ¦â
Yin Jiujinâs expression narrowed slightly, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated. âThereâs no hurry. Wait for Feng Yun to send us news first.â
Yan Jinyu wasnât actually in a hurry. She was just afraid that Yin Jiujin would be worried.
After so many years, if Feng Li was really still alive, he should not be in danger for a while.
Waiting for Feng Yunâs news was to ensure Yin Xiaoxiaoâs safety first.
âYes, Iâm not in a hurry. Brother Nine, donât worry too much either.â
Yin Jiujin rubbed her head again. âYes, Iâm not worried. Letâs go. Iâll send you back to school.â
âNo, Iâm not going to class today. Iâll accompany you to the company.â
Yin Jiujin was naturally happy about this.
Yin Jiujin had long known how smart Yan Jinyu was. Based on the fact that she could tell that Qin Jianjia was pregnant after only knowing Chinese medicine briefly, he knew that it wouldnât affect her much whether she went to school or not.
Of course, she still had to go to school.
His initial purpose of sending her to school was not to learn.
Instead, it was for her to have a carefree school life like ordinary girls and then made some friends.
However, she was not in a hurry to experience school life and make friends.
Hence, the two of them headed to the Empire Building.

At the same time, Feng Yun and the others were brought to a brand new foothold with their eyes covered.
