Chapter 334: The Outdoor Party
That’s right. The mother of the current head of the Jones Family was the biological daughter of the Bo Family, and Bo Lang’s mother was the adopted daughter of the Bo Family.
Bo Lang’s mother was forced upon by Old Jones when she went to visit her sickly adopted sister.
Old Jones was a pervert. He kept her in the Jones Family and then she gave birth to Bo Lang.
Both the biological daughter and the adopted daughter of the Bo Family were tortured to death by Old Jones.
Bo Lang was only four years old when his mother died.
Old Jones whipped at Bo Lang. His mother took it for him.
Her body had been abused all year round. She was dead after being whipped.
“Grateful? My dear brother, you’re so naive. You actually came to talk about gratitude with me? Do I have that kind of thing?”
“Don’t be naive. Do what I tell you obediently. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”
The other party hung up.
Bo Lang held his phone tightly. If he hadn’t tried his best to hold it in, he would have thrown his phone out.
He was trembling all over.
In the end, he picked up his chopsticks and finished the barbecue. Then, he slowly suppressed his anger.
***
At six o’clock, they gathered for an outdoor party.
Everyone sat on the ground according to their class.
There was a simple stage in front with the brightest lights.
The form teacher of each class sat at the front of the class.
Xiao Qun took out his phone to take a look. It was 6:10 pm. The people he sent out had not called back to report.
In other words, the mission failed. They failed to kidnap Yan Jinyun!
He knew best how skilled the people he sent were, but they still failed. The other party must have been prepared.
He was actually tricked!
She was indeed worthy of being the number one killer, Chi, on the Assassin Ranking. She had even acted so well. He had been fooled!
Very good! Very good!
Under the dim lights, his face that was mostly covered by his glasses was filled with a ruthless smile and excitement.
He had long known that Chi was a very interesting person.
She indeed did not disappoint him!
He almost couldn’t bear to kill her.
“Jinyu, do you want to go up and perform later?” Tan Shiyun, who was sitting beside Yan Jinyu, asked.
Yan Jinyu shook her head. “No.” She chuckled. “I’m not talented.”
“What about you?”
“Then I won’t go either. There are many talented people in school. I’d better be an audience quietly.”
The emcees were a boy and a girl. They were both members of the school’s broadcast station. They were considered seniors of the school’s broadcast station, so they would retire in their third year.
After the opening speech, many people volunteered to go on stage. They lined up and went on stage one by one.
Singing, dancing, piano and guitar recitals, and even some improvised skits. There were all kinds of programs.
Tan Shiyun thought that Yan Jinyu wouldn’t be interested in these things. But when she turned her head to look over, she realized that Yan Jinyu was looking at them very seriously. She even looked very curious.
She was surprised.
This was really a very different big shot.
Actually, other than the so-called mission, there was another more important reason why she interacted with Yan Jinyu from the beginning. That was that she really liked Yan Jinyu from the first time she saw her.
Otherwise, how could she, who came to North City for a mission, take the risk to get close to Yan Jinyu for the so-called mission?
Before she met Yan Jinyu, all her understanding of Yan Jinyu came from the rumors outside. She only knew that she was infamous.
After seeing Yan Jinyu, her first impression of Yan Jinyu was that she was very beautiful, cute, and very likable.
Anyway, after seeing her in person, she had a very good impression of Yan Jinyu.
Looking at her now, how could she be the number one killer who could kill without batting an eyelid? She was clearly an ordinary high school student, and one who thought that the students’ performances were very refreshing.
She unconsciously lowered her breathing, afraid that she would disturb Yan Jinyu, who was focused on watching the show.
However, just because she didn’t disturb Yan Jinyu didn’t mean that the others didn’t either.
Yuan Xi, who was sitting behind Yan Jinyu on the right, suddenly stood up and walked towards Yan Jinyu. He bent down and whispered, “Eldest Miss Yan, can we talk in private?”
Almost instinctively, Tan Shiyun immediately grabbed Yan Jinyu’s sleeve.
Yan Jinyu and Yuan Xi looked at her at the same time. Tan Shiyun retracted her hand slightly awkwardly, “There’s a bug on your clothes. I helped you slap it away.”
After saying that, she looked up and met Yuan Xi’s gaze. She frowned.
Yuan Xi looked at her deeply before his gaze landed on Yan Jinyu again, “Eldest Miss Yan, can we talk in private?”
Tan Shiyun raised her hand hesitantly to grab Yan Jinyu’s sleeve again, but in the end, she put it down.
Forget it. Her status did not allow her to do that either.
She was the heir of the Bo Family, whose grandfather supported the Jones Family and asked her to help that person succeed with all her might. All she could do was try her best not to get involved and not work for that person. She couldn’t do anything else other than that.
Even if she knew that Yuan Xi’s so-called excuse would very likely harm Yan Jinyu.
However, if she really did nothing, she really could not get over the psychological barrier.
Hence, after hesitating for a moment, she still said, “Come back early. I’ll wait for you to watch the performance together. Then, when it’s about time, we’ll return to the room together.”
Looking at her, Yan Jinyu smiled. “Alright.”
She stood up and left with Yuan Xi under the curious gazes of their classmates nearby.
On the other hand, Bo Lang, who was sitting at the back, only glanced at them before retracting his gaze.
He continued to rest his eyes.
Actually, according to Bo Lang’s unruly style, he didn’t have to be present in every class and every event.
However, Bo Lang did it.
Those who did not know better would think that he was a good student. Although his actions were difficult to understand, he was actually just protecting the person he wanted to protect.
“What are they doing? When did Eldest Miss Yan get so close to Yuan Xi?” Xu Gui, who was sitting beside Luo Yikun, patted his shoulder.
Without waiting for Luo Yikun to reply, he said, “Could it be that Yuan Xi has taken a fancy to Eldest Miss Yan? How bold. He actually dares to snatch her from Master Nine! This is even more dangerous than snatching food from the tiger’s mouth, right?”
“Don’t interfere in other people’s matters lest you get yourself into trouble.”
What?!
Xu Gui looked at him strangely.
Of course, he understood Luo Yikun’s words. It was precisely because he understood that he was so shocked.
Damn it, was Luo Yikun concerned about him again?
Luo Yikun knocked his head. “What are you looking at? Watch the performance. Mind your own business!”
“No, Luo Yikun, are you concerned about me?”
Luo Yikun looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. “You only realized it now? I said that I would be your friend. Do you think I’m joking?”
“You’re my friend. Of course, I care about you.”
“…” Xu Gui was speechless for a moment. His mood was indescribably complicated.
“Why are you in a daze? Don’t tell me you’re so touched that you can’t speak?”
“Who’s touched?! Also, don’t flatter yourself. Who wants to be friends with a jerk like you?”
“Jerk?” Luo Yikun’s face suddenly leaned closer. “You keep saying the word ‘jerk’. You sound like a disappointed little wife.”
Xu Gui’s face turned red and he quickly retreated. He almost bumped into the person behind him, but Luo Yikun quickly pulled him back.
“You’re so clumsy. You didn’t hit anywhere, right?”
“…I’m a man. So what if I hit something? Can’t I even withstand a little injury? Don’t treat me like some pampered little girl who can’t be hurt!”
“Alright, alright, whatever you say.”
“…” Xu Gui.
“Alright, sit quietly. Everyone is looking over here. Those who don’t know might think that something has happened.”
Xu Gui looked and indeed, many people were looking at them. For some reason, his face turned even redder, “Am I the one who’s making a fuss? It’s clearly you!”
“Yes, yes, it’s me.”
“Anyway, don’t interfere in other people’s business. It’s not something you can interfere in. Sit here quietly. I’m going to the washroom.”
“Luo Yikun!” Just as he stood up and was about to leave, Xu Gui called out to him.
Luo Yikun turned back to look at him. “Why? Can’t bear for me to leave? Or do you want to accompany me to the washroom?”
“Who can’t bear to let you leave! Who wants to accompany you to the washroom! I want to say that you told me not to poke my nose into other people’s business. You’re not leaving now because you yourself want to interfere,right?”
Luo Yikun jerked slightly. “What naive words are you talking about? Do I look like the kind of person who would poke his nose into other people’s business?”
Xu Gui shook his head decisively, “No.”
It successfully made Luo Yikun’s lips twitch.
He should at least struggle a little. Was his image that bad?
“I’m going. How annoying!”
Xu Gui, who did not understand anything, could not be bothered to look at him. He continued to watch the performance on the stage.
Yan Jinyu and Yuan Xi didn’t go far. They stopped under a tree not far away.
Luo Yikun didn’t go to the washroom either. He hid in a dark place where he could hear their conversation without being discovered by them.
“Young Master Yuan, if you have anything to say, please say it.” Actually, according to Yan Jinyu’s personality, she wouldn’t follow Yuan Xi over as soon as she called out. She was watching the performance excitedly.
It was Tan Shiyun’s reaction that made her change her mind.
If it wasn’t for Tan Shiyun’s reaction, she wouldn’t have agreed to Yuan Xi’s so-called “talk in private”. Their relationship was so complicated that even she was interested.
Of course, she was only interested. She would not waste time and effort to investigate.
It would be best if she could figure it out without wasting time and effort. If she couldn’t, it didn’t matter.
“Leave here and return to Mount Jing. Leave right now.”
“You want me to go back? Now?” Yan Jinyu looked at him strangely.
“Yes, now. Immediately.”
“It’s already dark. Besides, I’m here to play. Why should I go back?”
“Someone wants to kill you!”
Of course, she knew that. It was precisely because she knew that she found it more interesting when she heard Yuan Xi say it.
It was not the first time Yuan Xi had been abnormal since she went to Boyu to school.
On the first day she arrived in Boyu, Yuan Xi, who had always been alone, had eaten with them in the canteen. Later on, Yuan Xi told her to stay away from Bo Lang. The reason was that Bo Lang was very dangerous.
She was puzzled. She could still understand why Bo Lang said strange things to her. After all, she had met Bo Lang before.
Yuan Xi?
They had not interacted much in the past. The first time they met was on the plane to South City when she was invited by Little Rain before the new year.
She was really curious about his intentions for thinking so much about her.
“Oh? Who wants to kill me?”
