Chapter 236 - Do Whatever She Wants
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.
"I-I didn't know it was you. Sorry for offending you."
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.
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
That person was shocked. He was afraid that Yan Jinyu would raise her hand and take his life. He hurriedly said, "I really don't know!"
"If I knew that it was you, how would I dare to overestimate myself and make a move in front of you? I've accepted a mission.. The target of the mission is the eldest young madam of the Yin Family. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. This mission is indeed on the website's mission board."
Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled faintly, "Assassinate the eldest young madam of the Yin Family in the Second Young Master's territory? As a killer, are you that stupid?"
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 couldn't 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 didn't believe a word that this person said.
"Are you thinking that since I've retired, I might've forgotten how killers usually do things?"
"I wouldn't dare!" the person quickly said. His hands that were tied behind his back were clasped tightly. This was a sign of extreme nervousness. "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go to the website to check the mission records."
Yan Jinyu glanced at him. "Missions can be released as long as one knows how. Can't your own people post it to confuse others?"
Without giving the person a chance to speak, Yan Jinyu continued, "Just take it that what you said is true. Tell me now, who issued the mission?"
"It's the Second Missy of the Qin Family, Qin Bailu."
"Qin Bailu?" Yan Jinyu's question was very ambiguous.
"Yes! It's 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 don't know. You know that us killers only care about accepting missions and don't care about other people's grudges."
"Alright, 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 Family's Second Young Master's territory? If that's the case, even I have to admire you. I don't even have the confidence to do so."
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 wasn't 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.
"Brother Nine, I've always been quite wary of you."
The corners of Yin Jiujin's lips curled up slightly. "Is that so? Why can't I tell?" She was about to ride on top of his head and behave atrociously. Was she still wary of him?
"That's because I didn't show it. To be honest, Brother Nine, I really don't have a chance of winning if you're my enemy."
It was strange. She could even destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, but she wasn't 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 didn't hold much weight in her heart.
It could only be said that Yin Jiujin was really formidable. She didn't have the confidence to win even when she hadn't gone against him.
"That might not be the case," 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 didn't deliberately fake that.
It was precisely because she did not pretend that she could deceive him.
Yan Jinyu's eyes lit up. "Brother Nine, so you finally admit that I'm very formidable?"
"…" Yin Jiujin.
Her thoughts were so jumpy. She was still interrogating someone when the topic jumped so quickly. She didn't look calm or look like the number one killer at all.
"Let's interrogate him first."
"Oh, right. I'm still interrogating someone."
It wasn't that she wasn't calm enough, but Yan Jinyu actually didn't take this killer seriously. At least, compared to Yin Jiujin, this killer didn't have any importance at all.
If Yan Jinyu wasn't 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 Jinyu's 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.
"I don't 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."
He looked at Yan Jinyu. "The premise is that you're not present."
"On the account that we're in the same line, I'll give you another chance," 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.
"I-I'm telling the truth. This is really the case. If you don't believe me, you can get Second Miss Qin to confront me."
"Confrontation?" Yan Jinyu chuckled. "Do I look like the kind of person who is very patient?"
"Since you don't want the chance I gave you, don't blame me."
As she spoke, she raised her left hand.
The man looked frightened. "I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Yan Jinyu sneered, "It's too late."
With a wave of her hand, that man died with remaining grievances.
Yin Jiujin didn't stop her this time.
He didn't expect her to do this. He didn't expect her to really kill him and he didn't 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. "Let's go, Brother Nine."
Yin Jiujin glanced at her and stood up as well. He walked over and held her hand. "Why did you kill her? You could have gotten the answer after asking for a while longer."
"I've given him a chance, but he didn't say it." She smiled at Yin Jiujin. "I rarely give others a chance. It's just that he doesn't know how to grasp it."
Yin Jiujin's heart skipped a beat.
Did this mean that if he didn't explain in time when the young lady misunderstood that he was related to Yu Qingwan at Mount Jing that day, she wouldn't 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, "Brother Nine, why are you staring at me?"
"…You killed him just like that. Don't you want to know who's behind this?"
"It doesn't matter. We're all enemies anyway. We'll kill whoever comes."
"Besides, even if I know who it is, I still have to investigate the other party's whereabouts. How much effort would I have to put in? If they really want to kill me, they will come again after failing once. I'll wait for them to send themselves to me first."
"You…" Yin Jiujin was momentarily speechless.
"You're not right. This is undoubtedly putting yourself in danger. If you have enemies, you should find them and kill them all."
Yan Jinyu blinked. "But Brother Nine, I have too many enemies. I can't kill them all."
"…" Yin Jiujin.
Yan Jinyu couldn't help but laugh. She let go of his hand and held his arm. "Alright, Brother Nine, don't worry. I haven't met anyone who can kill me yet. I'll be fine. Just take it that I'm bored and waiting for someone to come looking for fun."
Yin Jiujin suddenly stopped and looked at her. "Little Yu'er, do you know who sent them?"
Yan Jinyu sighed inwardly and said helplessly, "Brother Nine, why can't I hide anything from you? I clearly didn't say anything or show it."
She sighed again. "That's why I'm afraid of you."
"You're not going to tell me?"
"I was. After all, I was only guessing and wasn't completely confident. If I told you, it would make you worry. It's better not to say it. However, since you can tell, I naturally have to tell you. However, there's no hurry now."
"?" Yin Jiujin was puzzled.
The next second, Yan Jinyu's 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 didn't 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 didn't like it, but her actions were fast, ruthless, and accurate. She didn't even blink when she killed someone.
Yin Jiujin was a little helpless, but his heart ached more than his helplessness.
She didn't 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 weren't too shocked. After all, after seeing Yan Jinyu's carefree style with their own eyes, their shock had reached its peak.
After a long while, the kiss ended.
Yan Jinyu hugged Yin Jiujin's waist with both hands and leaned in his arms. She looked up at him with a bright smile on her face. "Brother Nine."
Yin Jiujin looked down at her with an indulgent gaze. "Yes?"
