Chapter 293 - A Change In Attitude
It was another anxious day in the capital.
The commotion caused by Yin Jiujin and Qin Hao's subordinates pursuing Liu Guang and the others in the entire city was naturally huge. However, not many people knew about it. They only knew that two God's favored ones in the capital were pursuing a group of villains at the same time.
They must have caught some people, but they were all small fry. They were even useless small fry. It was either they were unaware or they had been poisoned before being sent out on a mission. They would die as soon as they were caught.
There was no way to get anything out of them.
There was a commotion outside. Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin, and Feng Yun were driving steadily back to the Yin Family.
It was almost the end of the year. No matter if it was Yin Wuzhan, Yin Yuhan, or Qin Jianjia, they were all very busy. They had been working overtime until very late these few days. Today was an exception.
After knowing that Feng Yun was finally willing to leave the courtyard, everyone rushed back.
Even Yin Wuzhan was very uneasy.
Yin Wuzhan paced around the living room after Yin Shuguo called Yin Jiujin and found out that they would be back soon. He couldn't calm down at all.
He only walked to the sofa and sat down when Yin Shuguo spoke up.
"Do any of you know why Yun'er… suddenly went out? All these years…" Yin Shuguo asked intermittently. He was excited.
He had actually asked Butler Wu.
Butler Wu had helped to prepare the car for Feng Yun to go out.
However, Butler Wu was also shocked and did not know the exact situation at all. Yin Shuguo naturally could not ask anything either.
They all shook their heads.
"I don't know, but I heard from Butler Wu that Yun'er seems to be in a hurry to go out because he has something on," Qin Jianjia said.
She, too, was very curious about what it was.
A person who had not gone out for almost 11 years should be isolated from the world. It was hard not to be curious when he went out in a hurry.
"Let's not talk about Yun'er first. I heard that the Min Family's banquet last night caused quite a commotion?" Yin Shuguo had actually wanted to ask about this long ago, but early this morning, all the people in the Yin Family who knew about it, including Min Qinglan, were missing. Hence, he couldn't find anyone to ask.
Now that he suddenly remembered, he wanted to ask.
However, everyone present fell silent.
Min Qinglan, who was sitting there, almost vomited again when she thought of the bloody scene where so many people died last night. The fear that she had tried so hard to suppress emerged again.
Her face was pale.
Afraid that she would meet Yan Jinyu, she stayed in her room today. She had asked the servants to send breakfast to her room.
Yin Wuzhan had returned early so he got someone to call her down.
"What's wrong with Qinglan? Her face is so pale. Is she not feeling well?" As an elder, Yin Shuguo cared for his juniors normally.
However, Min Qinglan was so frightened that she trembled. "I-I'm fine. I was a little lazy today and slept a little too much. I'm a little dizzy. Thank you for your concern, Dad."
"You're not a child anymore. Take care of your body."
"Yes."
Yin Shuguo asked again, "Why isn't anyone saying anything? From the looks of it, something major happened at the Min Family's banquet last night?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for them to respond and said, "I've more or less heard about it too. Didn't Old Min's grandson seize the power back then? This isn't a big deal in a big family. Moreover, this matter has already shown signs. There's nothing surprising about it now."
"On the other hand, why do you all look so secretive? I don't usually see how deep your relationship with Min Guili is. Furthermore, I heard that Old Min was harmed by him. Sigh, poor Old Min. Why did he raise such a ruthlessly ambitious son?"
"Are you feeling indignant for Min Guili?" Yin Shuguo was already a little angry when he asked this.
Min Qinglan, his daughter-in-law, valued her background the most. Although her relationship with the other members of the Min Family was not very deep, it was still more profound than that child, Min Rufeng, who was brought back from outside.
It seemed like he was asking if they were crying out for justice for Min Guili, but he was actually asking Min Qinglan alone.
They all glanced at Min Qinglan.
Seeing this, Yin Yuhan hurriedly said, "Of course not."
"Grandfather, you're thinking too much. That's not the case. Not to mention that's the Min Family's family matter, it's not convenient for us to interfere. Just based on Eldest Uncle's actions, it's impossible for us to feel indignant for him."
"The reason why we don't want to talk about what happened at the Min Family's banquet last night is because we don't want Grandfather to be angry with the outsiders and damage your health."
"What's there to be angry with the outsiders? Could it be that other than the change of the head of the Min Family and Min Guili's actions being exposed, something else happened?" The actions not only referred to Min Guili colluding with outsiders to kill Old Master Min, but also Min Guili's romantic affairs.
Other than the fact that Min Rufeng had instructed not to spread what happened in the Min Family last night, the rest had already spread throughout the upper-class circle in the capital today.
Yin Shuguo had naturally heard of it too.
However, that was still a junior's affair after all. It was not convenient for him to mention it and say it out loud.
"Something else did happen."
As soon as Yin Yuhan finished speaking, Qin Jianjia's heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, she didn't want her grandfather to know too much. After all, Yu'er's identity…
They could accept it, but their grandfather was from the older generation so he might not.
Yin Wuzhan and even Min Qinglan looked at Yin Yuhan with an expression as if they were afraid that he would say more.
Yin Wuzhan and Qin Jianjia had similar thoughts. As for Min Qinglan, at this moment, she actually didn't want Yin Shuguo to know Yan Jinyu's background.
It was unknown if she was completely frightened by Yan Jinyu, or if she understood Yin Jiujin's care for Yan Jinyu, or if she suddenly felt that Yan Jinyu wasn't as bad as she thought.
After all, Min Qinglan didn't seem to dislike Yan Jinyu as much as before.
Of course, it was also possible that because of Yan Jinyu's strength, she didn't even dare to feel any rejection in her heart.
Seeing Qin Jianjia's worry, Yin Yuhan gave her a reassuring smile and continued, "Last night, there was indeed quite a commotion at the Min Family. Grandfather should have heard some rumors too. However, the rumors out there are mostly one-sided."
"The Min Family has indeed changed, but the process of this change is a little unexpected. At the Min Family's banquet last night, Eldest Uncle arranged more than 30 assassins to kill Second Cousin. If Second Cousin hadn't been prepared, it would be unknown who the final winner was last night."
"Assassins?" Yin Shuguo frowned. "Are you guys alright?"
"We're fine. Jin'er and Hao'er are both present. The assassins that Uncle found are only third-rate killers. Not only us, but all the guests present are fine."
After saying that, Yin Yuhan glanced at Min Qinglan.
Min Qinglan felt stifled.
She didn't intend to say anything! Why was he guarding against her like he was guarding against a thief?!
Yin Yuhan was surprised to see Min Qinglan's angry and slightly aggrieved expression.
When he retracted his gaze, Yin Shuguo happened to say, "It's good that you all are fine."
"Don't interfere too much in the Min Family's matters. Since Min Rufeng can find out the truth that was more than 10 years ago, I believe he also has the ability to control the Min Family. Old Min's judgment of people back then was very accurate."
"By the way, was Little Yu frightened last night? She grew up in an orphanage. It's already very rare for her to adapt to the new environment so quickly. I wonder if she'll be frightened when she sees the scene of killers fighting and bleeding."
"…" The few of them.
Even the calm Yin Wuzhan's lips twitched slightly.
Scared?
She was clearly more ruthless than those people.
After coughing dryly, Qin Jianjia said, "Jin'er was always by Yu'er's side last night. Yu'er wasn't frightened. Look, the two of them went out early this morning. If they were frightened, they wouldn't have the mood to go out. Grandfather, don't worry."
Yu'er wasn't frightened. They were the ones who were frightened.
"That's good."
Yin Shuguo said, "Speaking of going out, why is Yun'er with Jin'er? I called Jin'er just now to tell him that Yun'er has gone out. He said that Yun'er is in front of him. Could it be that Jin'er has encountered some trouble, so Yun'er left in a hurry?"
They were all stunned.
They actually did not expect this to be the reason!
Yun'er was with Jin'er after leaving in a hurry? It couldn't be a coincidence.
"We'll naturally know when they come back," Yin Wuzhan said.
Yin Shuguo nodded and didn't say anything else.
About 10 minutes later, the three of them returned.
Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin walked in front while Feng Yun walked behind.
The five of them looked past the two of them at Feng Yun, who was behind them.
This was the first time Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin's "limelight" had been snatched away by someone since they had appeared in public.
"Y-Yun'er." Yin Shuguo's hands were trembling.
Sitting in the chair, his hand on the armrest trembled as he tried to raise it, but he eventually put it down again.
The 80-year-old man's personality was similar to Yin Jiujin's when he was young. He was a calm and indifferent person, but his eyes were actually red now.
It was obvious how excited the old man was.
Feng Yun stopped in his tracks and a hint of guilt flashed past his eyes. He put on his usual warm smile and said politely, "Grandfather."
"I've made you worried."
Yin Shuguo was already so excited that he couldn't speak properly. Yin Wuzhan glanced at him and said to Feng Yun, "We're all family. Don't talk about worry. Since… we'll all be fine in the future."
"Yes, Uncle."
"I've also made you and Aunt worried."
"…" Aunt Min Qinglan. She was indeed worried in the early years. But she didn't pay much attention to Feng Yun when he never left the courtyard later on. Especially after Qin Jianjia married in and helped her family affairs, Feng Yun's meals and lodging was taken care of by Qin Jianjia.
It was rare for Min Qinglan to feel a little ashamed.
"Cousin and Cousin-in-law have worked hard too."
This was the first time Qin Jianjia had seen Feng Yun.
The young master looked pure and untainted.
This was her first impression of Feng Yun.
"What's there to thank us about? Come and sit." Qin Jianjia smiled gently.
Feng Yun nodded and walked over to sit down.
Even though he was sitting on the sofa, he looked very otherworldly.
However, it was strange. Although he looked very otherworldly, no one felt that he looked out-of-place sitting on such a modern sofa.
Yin Jiujin also led Yan Jinyu over and sat down.
Yin Shuguo was experienced after all.. He quickly restrained his excitement and looked at Feng Yun. "Why did you suddenly drive out?"
