Chapter 415: What Happened Back Then
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I have to believe them.”
Luo Yikun said, “About the time I was two to three years old, someone came to North City and tried to kidnap me again. It was the person Old Master Yu sent to protect me who reacted. In addition, my master arrived in time, so I was saved.”
“I learned some skills when I got older. Even if no one was protecting me, I could still guarantee my safety. And my skills were taught by my master. There’s no reason for me not to believe him.”
“Second Young Master Luo, don’t tell me you still think that those human traffickers who keep targeting you are ordinary human traffickers? Ordinary human traffickers aren’t that persevering.”
Luo Yikun naturally didn’t suspect Yan Jinyu’s words because he had long guessed that those people weren’t ordinary human traffickers.
However, no matter how he investigated later on, he could not find out who they were.
His parents were ordinary people. They were the kind of people who did not even fight for the inheritance rights of the family and only chased after their dreams and feelings.
It was impossible for them to offend any big shot.
He had also asked his parents many times. They didn’t know who those people who always had designs on him were. They were afraid that they couldn’t protect him, so they agreed to Old Master Yu and his master’s suggestion to let him learn skills. And before he mastered it and could protect himself, his master and the Yu Family would be responsible for his safety.
“I can’t find out who they are,” Luo Yikun said truthfully.
However, he actually had a faint guess.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Could those people be related to Ghost Slaughter Island?”
Yan Jinyu didn’t answer him directly. Instead, she asked, “Second Young Master Luo, do you still remember when those people had designs on you again, and when did your master and Old Master Yu’s people save you? I’m talking about the date.”
Luo Yikun didn’t know why she asked this, but he still thought about it carefully.
“It seems to be between September and October. I don’t remember the exact details. If I hadn’t had a better memory than others since I was young, I might not have remembered what happened before I was young.”
Suddenly, Luo Yikun thought of something and said in surprise, “I remember that Eldest Miss Yan went missing on her second birthday, and your birthday is at the end of September.”
Yan Jinyu didn’t comment. “It was a coincidence that I was brought to Ghost Slaughter Island.”
“I had already escaped from the kidnappers. I was injured and was captured by Ghost Slaughter members who passed by North City to make up the numbers.”
Yan Jinyu had some guesses long ago. Now, she was 90% sure that that person couldn’t catch Luo Yikun back then, so he caught the unlucky her to report.
The remaining 10% was because there was something she could not figure out.
If Min Sisi was Liu Guang’s daughter, then Min Sisi and Luo Yikun’s master might be Liu Guang himself. Even if it wasn’t Liu Guang, it must be Liu Guang’s man.
No matter what, Luo Yikun was considered Liu Guang’s man. Was there a need for Ghost Slaughter Island to capture Luo Yikun again?
Or was it that Liu Guang did it on purpose to gain Luo Yikun’s trust?
Or could it be that the people under Liu Guang didn’t all consult with him when it came to catching children? Did those people go and find some child to catch themselves?
Of course, it was impossible for them not to report it. After all, the person who captured her to make up the numbers was punished.
Perhaps he did report it, but not to Liu Guang’s level?
After all, Yan Jinyu couldn’t figure this out.
Luo Yikun understood what she meant.
“So, those traffickers who have always had designs on me are actually from Ghost Slaughter Island? And Eldest Miss Yan, it’s very likely that you were kidnapped to replace me because those people couldn’t catch me?”
At this point, Luo Yikun was surprised and happy.
He was shocked that those were really people from Ghost Slaughter Island. He was happy that he would actually be comparable to the top killer in the killer world one day.
In the early years, Ghost Slaughter Island had designs on him and not Eldest Miss Yan. Didn’t that mean that in the eyes of those people, he was even more outstanding than Eldest Miss Yan?
At the thought of this, he felt a little smug.
However, this didn’t seem to be strange. When he was young, his family knew that he was very smart. Not only his family, but many of the Luo Family’s family friends also knew that.
And before Eldest Miss Yan was two years old…
Uh, the rumors about Eldest Miss Yan outside were that she couldn’t speak at two years old. Many people thought that she was an idiot.
It was no wonder that the people from Ghost Slaughter Island noticed him and not Eldest Miss Yan.
However, they had accidentally abducted such a formidable person.
They had destroyed all the years of foundation on Ghost Slaughter Island by doing that.
If that was the case, Ghost Slaughter Island was really unlucky.
“May I know how Second Young Master Luo addresses your master?”
However, Luo Yikun was suddenly stunned. Then, he said embarrassedly, “I’m ashamed to say this. I still don’t know Master’s name. He never mentioned it either. Old Master Yu calls him Sir.”
“Miss Yan, why are you asking this?”
Yan Jinyu smiled mysteriously. “I’m just asking casually.”
“I already know about Second Young Master Luo’s stand. However, Second Young Master Luo, you should continue this topic only when your master and the Yu Family become enemies with me and you can still say decisively that you won’t be my enemy.”
“Actually, Second Young Master Luo knows very well that since they want you to help Min Sisi, it means that they agree with what Min Sisi did. In other words, they’re destined to be my enemies.”
After saying that, Yan Jinyu turned and left, leaving Luo Yikun standing rooted to the ground.
Yes, he knew very well.
Hence, he was actually very conflicted.
He was not a good person, but he could not be ungrateful.
If Min Sisi was enemies with Eldest Miss Yan, he could say without any hesitation that he wouldn’t stand on Min Sisi’s side, but if his master and the Yu Family were enemies with Eldest Miss Yan…
He didn’t know what to do.
He didn’t want to be ungrateful, but he didn’t want to offend Yan Jinyu and Master Nine either.
How annoying. If he had known that it would be so difficult, he would have been happier if he had been abducted by Ghost Slaughter Island a few years ago.
Yan Jinyu walked over and Xu Gui took the initiative to greet her, “Eldest Miss Yan.” He looked at her with a strange gaze.
Of course, Yan Jinyu also realized it, but she didn’t say anything.
She could roughly guess what Xu Gui was thinking.
She nodded as a response.
However, Yan Jinyu was smiling with interest now.
Xu Gui felt a little uncomfortable from her smile and hurriedly said, “I’ll go look for Luo Yikun first.” Then, he quickly walked over and felt like he was escaping.
“Luo Yikun, why are you in a daze?” Xu Gui walked closer and realized that Luo Yikun was in a daze. He couldn’t help but ask.
Luo Yikun finally came back to his senses. “Nothing. I’m thinking about something.”
Xu Gui didn’t ask further. He had other questions that he wanted to ask more now, “What were you saying to Eldest Miss Yan just now?”
Luo Yikun suddenly looked at him with a faint smile. “Why? Are you jealous because you saw me with someone and left you aside?”
“…Jealous my ass! I’m worried that your old habit is acting up again and you have designs on Eldest Miss Yan.”
“If your old problem relapses, you have to remember that Eldest Miss Yan has a backer. Not to mention her backer, even she herself isn’t someone you can provoke. You better not find trouble for yourself.”
Luo Yikun smiled and asked, “Then, do you mean that if my old illness relapses, I can find another woman? As long as she’s not someone I can’t afford to provoke like Eldest Miss Yan?”
Xu Gui, “…Jerk! No matter how much you change, being a jerk is still your nature!”
After saying that, he turned and left. Luo Yikun smiled for a moment before his smile faded. He turned back and looked at Yan Jinyu deeply before chasing after Xu Gui.
“Let’s talk in the car. I drove and I can give you a ride,” Yan Jinyu said to Tan Shiyun.
Seeing that Tan Shiyun didn’t reply immediately, Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks. “Is there anything else?”
Tan Shiyun retracted her gaze. “Not really. I just heard that you guys are organizing a graduation trip and wanted to join in the fun. When I found out that it was Luo Yikun who made the itinerary, I wanted to ask if he could let me join in.”
Yan Jinyu glanced at the person walking away. “I think you’d better ask over the phone. Second Young Master Luo doesn’t seem to be free now.”
Tan Shiyun smiled in understanding.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to give me a ride. Otherwise, I’ll have to get a car to go back to the apartment by myself.”
The two of them headed to the parking lot.
Yan Jinyu drove, so Tan Shiyun naturally sat in the front passenger seat.
As soon as she got into the car and buckled her seatbelt, Yan Jinyu asked her the address. After Tan Shiyun gave her the address, Yan Jinyu said, “If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Tan Shiyun paused for a moment and organized her words. “I think Bo Lang’s matter in the Jones Family is too smooth. Lind Jones is not a simple person. He has been in charge of the family for so many years and is in Country Y which takes orthodoxy most seriously. There’s no reason for Bo Lang to seize power so smoothly.”
“I’m still worried.”
Yan Jinyu drove and turned to smile at her. “Why are you worried? Can’t it be that Bo Lang is capable enough?”
“Of course, I believe that Bo Lang is capable, but I know very well that with his ability, even if Lind Jones is injured and not in the family now, Bo Lang can’t seize power so quickly. Lind Jones isn’t someone to be trifled with all these years. His subordinates are loyal to him. How can most of those people change sides the moment Bo Lang goes back?”
“It’s too smooth. It makes me feel like Lind Jones is setting a trap for Bo Lang.”
“Can’t Lind Jones deliberately give up power?” Yan Jinyu smiled faintly.
However, when Tan Shiyun heard her words, she immediately refuted without thinking, “That’s definitely impossible!”
“Jinyu, you haven’t interacted with Lind Jones properly before. You don’t know what kind of person he is at all. He’s a pervert. Before you saved Bo Lang from the Jones Family in the early years, Bo Lang wasn’t only tortured by Old Jones, but also Lind Jones.”
“Lind Jones is a person who values power very much. In the early years after Old Jones died, there were also people in the Jones Family who wanted to seize power, but they were all dealt with by him in harsh methods. It was also from that time that he slowly gained prestige in the Jones Family.”
“He fought so hard to hold on to power. How can he give it to someone else? Even if he wants to give it to someone else, he definitely won’t give it to Bo Lang.”
“Bo Lang is an illegitimate son. He looks down on Bo Lang the most. If it wasn’t for the Bo Family protecting him all these years and Lind Jones still had some respect for my grandfather and gave my grandfather some face, Bo Lang probably wouldn’t have survived until now.”
Yan Jinyu smiled faintly.
If Lind Jones was really a power-hungry pervert, would he respect Old Master Bo? Even if Old Master Bo was his grandfather, it was impossible.
Perhaps, he had long reached a certain collaboration with Old Master Bo, and Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun didn’t know about it.
“How can Lind Jones give power to Bo Lang?”
“From what you’re saying, Lind Jones doesn’t seem to be a good person. Not only is he not a good person, but he’s also a pervert. Logically speaking, it should be very difficult to make friends with such a person, but why do I feel that the eldest son of the Yuan Family in South City, Yuan Xi, is very protective of him?”
“Could it be that Yuan Xi is actually his subordinate?”
