Chapter 171: A Visit From The Enemies

“Beauty Yu, do you still remember the target whom you became famous for after carrying out that mission at the age of 10?”

“Yes, the head of the Jones Family in Country Y.” It was a mission from the Smith Family in Country Y.

It was said that before she accepted that mission, 19 people had already accepted it. One of them was even the number one killer on the Assassin Ranking at that time.

All 19 of them had failed, which was why she became famous after that battle and ranked first on the Assassin Ranking.

“Why?”

“After you killed the head of the Jones Family, the Jones Family was quickly suppressed by the Smith Family. They fell from the top family in Country Y to a second-rate family. You know that right, Beauty Yu, right?”

“Mm-hm.”

“But recently, the Jones Family seems to be on the rise.”

“So?” Yan Jinyu was very calm. She had carried out so many missions, and the targets of each mission were all not ordinary people. If she had to pay attention to the subsequent development of every mission target’s family, wouldn’t she be extremely busy?

Killers were only responsible for accepting missions and receiving money after completing missions. Other disputes were not something the killers should care about.

“The current head of the Jones Family is Lane Jones’s only son. It’s said that he was only about 10 years old when Lane Jones died. At that time, he took over the Jones Family.”

“Not long after Lane Jones died, his wife also died of illness. Lane Jones’s son ruled the huge family alone. Although he was suppressed by the Smith Family and became a second-rate family, the Jones Family still survived under his leadership.”

“At that time, he was not only an orphan, but also a child around 10 years old.”

“Now that the Jones Family is on the rise, it must be his doing.”

“Are you worried that he will seek revenge on me?”

Yin Jiujin didn’t interrupt her call, but he could roughly tell what was going on.

He had also heard a little about how the number one killer became famous.

Hearing that the Jones Family might come to take revenge on her, his grip on her instinctively tightened. Yan Jinyu sensed it and raised her hand to touch his face comfortingly.

He continued on the phone, “If he really has the ability, the person he wants to take revenge on won’t be me, but the Smith Family. Since he can protect the family under the suppression of the Smith Family, he should have some understanding.”

“The Jones Family has struck on the Smith Family first in order to rise again. Under normal circumstances, the Smith Family naturally wouldn’t be so easy to suppress. However, a few days ago, the head of the Smith Family died in an accident, and the children he left behind were all fighting for the inheritance. Now that the Smith Family is in trouble internally and externally, it shouldn’t take long for them to be suppressed by the Jones Family.”

“That’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I received news that the young head of the Jones Family seems to be a student of Boyu High School in North City.”

“I suspect he’s after you.”

“However, judging from the current situation, he didn’t do anything. I think he still can’t confirm your identity. However, since he has gone to North City, he must have some confidence. Isn’t your sister at Boyu High School? I’m worried that if he confirms your identity, he will harm your sister.”

Yan Jinyu nudged Yin Jiujin away and sat up with a frown.

Yin Jiujin sat up as well and leaned against the headboard to hug her.

However, Yan Jinyu wasn’t asking about the young head of the Jones Family. Instead…

“You said that the head of the Smith Family is dead. How did he die?”

How difficult it was to kill the head of the Jones Family back then, was exactly how difficult it was to kill the head of the Smith Family now.

Huo Siyu was indeed Yan Jinyu’s companion for years. Their tacit understanding made Huo Siyu understand what Yan Jinyu meant the moment she heard her words. She quickly sat up on the bed. “The Smith Family said that he passed away from an illness. Beauty Yu, are you suspecting that his death was unusual? Or are you suspecting that he also died in a killer’s hands?”

“Passed away from an illness?” Yan Jinyu smiled. “Just as the Jones Family rose again? How can there be so many coincidences?”

“Find out the cause of his death. If he didn’t die of illness and was killed by someone, that person would at least be as capable as me as he could kill the head of the Smith Family.”

“No, I’ll investigate this myself.”

“There’s no need for that. Beauty Yu, focus on North City. Didn’t I say that the current head of the Jones Family might be a student of Boyu? I’ll investigate the cause of the death of the head of the Smith Family. You know that I’m almost bored to death. I have to find something to do.”

“Little Rain, you’ll be easily exposed as you’re around Young Master Qin.”

“It’s fine. So what if I’m exposed? Can I hide it from him for the rest of my life? If Second Young Master Yin can accept you, can’t Qin Hao accept me? If he can’t, tsk, forget it then. Anyway, it’s not like I have to make do with him.”

“Don’t mess around. This isn’t a matter of whether you want it or not. Qin Hao’s identity isn’t like Yin Jiujin’s. You’ll be in danger.”

“Aiya, Beauty Yu, I’m not as weak as you think, okay? If Qin Hao knows that my identity is disadvantageous to me, would I be waiting for him to deal with me foolishly? Besides, Beauty Yu, have you forgotten that there’s the Huo Family behind me?”

“If Qin Hao dares to do anything to me, the Huo Family will definitely take it to heart. You have to know that the head of the Huo Family, who is also my brother, is someone who dares to go against Second Young Master Yin.”

“Besides, I’ll be careful. I won’t be easily exposed.”

“That’s settled then. I’ll investigate it. Focus on that Jones in North City. The information I received only said that he’s Boyu’s student, but it didn’t say if he’s new or has always been in Boyu. However, according to his age, he should be in his second or third year.”

“To be honest, Beauty Yu, I actually don’t want you to go to school because of this. This will increase the chances of your identity being exposed. But I understand you. You won’t let your sister face danger alone.” This was also the main reason why she called.

Yan Jinyun was obviously a family member whom Beauty Yu acknowledged. If anything happened to Yan Jinyun because of Beauty Yu, Beauty Yu would probably never let go for the rest of her life.

Besides, since Jones could find out about North City, it was only a matter of time before he found out about Beauty Yu’s identity. Instead of waiting for someone to find her, it was better to turn the situation around.

“So, Beauty Yu, you still have to suffer the same fate of being controlled by school like me.”

Actually, it was good for Beauty Yu to go to school.

To experience school life.

Just like her, didn’t she get used to it after experiencing it?

Uh, even though she was in university now and often took leave to skip classes.

Anyway, it was impossible for her to fail the subject, so there was nothing to learn. It did not matter if she skipped class or not.

“By the way, Beauty Yu, I’m on winter break now and I’m in South City. Do you want to come to South City to play? I’ll bring her along to teach them a lesson.”

“Your adopted sister?”

“Yes, yes. All she knows is to ruin my reputation and badmouth me behind my back. You don’t know this, but when I returned to South City this time, my parents reprimanded me as soon as I entered. They made me feel baffled.”

“Little Rain…”

“Aiya, Beauty Yu, don’t worry. I don’t have a fragile heart. How can I be sad after being reprimanded? What kind of hard life have we not experienced? Why would we care about such a small matter?”

Yan Jinyu wanted to say that it was ultimately different.

Just like her. Even when she knew what kind of people her parents were, didn’t her emotions got affected too when she returned to the Yan Family?

Furthermore, Little Rain’s parents actually treated her very well.

“Beauty Yu, it’s going to snow in South City. You can’t see it in North City, right? Do you want to come over and take a look?” North City was in the south while South City was in the north. North City’s winter wasn’t cold, but South City’s winter was similar to the capital’s. Cold winds and heavy snow were not uncommon.

Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin. She knew that he had heard everything.

Yin Jiujin was feeling sorry for Yan Jinyu because of Huo Siyu’s words, “What hard life have we not experienced?” Now that he saw her looking at him questioningly, he naturally nodded. “If you want to go, go and play for a few days.”

The young lady had been suffering all these years, so he couldn’t selfishly keep her by his side. He had to let her go through some carefree days that she had never had before.

For example, hanging out with friends.

Even though he still felt a little uncomfortable.

“Why do I seem to hear Second Young Master Yin’s voice? Beauty Yu, why Second Young Master Yin beside you so early in the morning? Why are you up so early?”

Yan Jinyu chuckled. “Mm-hm.” She didn’t say much.

“So Second Young Master Yin approves of your coming to South City?”

Before Yan Jinyu could reply, Huo Siyu said excitedly, “Beauty Yu, when are you coming? Why don’t I book a flight for you and you can come over today?”

“…She’ll go in a few days.” Yin Jiujin replied. She was pushing her luck!

Yan Jinyu glanced at Yin Jiujin and smiled. “Yes, I’ll go in a few days.” She didn’t know if she was talking to Yin Jiujin or Huo Siyu.

“Alright, Beauty Yu, call me. I’ll pick you up. There’s no hurry for Jones. Isn’t your sister on vacation too? Jones should have returned to Country Y. She won’t be in any danger for the time being.”

“Yes.” She was actually not very worried.

She was just more interested in how the head of the Smith Family died.

After hanging up, Yin Jiujin took the phone and placed it back on the bedside table. He wrapped his arms around her and let her lean on him. He leaned his chin on the top of her head. “That Jones… Do you need me to settle it?”

It was a question and not a direct action. It was a form of respect for Yan Jinyu.

He was protecting her, but not like he was protecting her like a tiger. He was treating her as an equal.

He knew that she must have her own pride to have gotten to where she was today.

Yan Jinyu looked up at him. “There’s no need to. Brother Nine, don’t worry. I can handle it. If I really can’t, I’ll tell you.”

“Then I’ll arrange for you to go to school after the new year starts?” If Huo Siyu understood her, how could he not?

In the past, she would definitely think of ways to not go to school. Now…

She was indeed very concerned about her sister.

Yin Jiujin’s heart ached again.

“I promised Brother Nine that even if this didn’t happen, I would still go…” Yan Jinyu suddenly widened her eyes and looked at him.” Brother Nine, where are the photos you promised to show me? ”

“…” Yin Jiujin.
