Chapter 420: Late Night Travel
“Wait!” Feng Yuan found his phone and was about to call when Yan Jinyun hurriedly stopped him.
“If I call her now, what if Sister has something to do? Will I disturb her? But what should I do if I don’t call her? W-What if I go to the front desk to ask for the room card?”
Feng Yuan shook his head, “It’s not appropriate to ask for the room card from the front desk. Not to mention that the front desk won’t give it to us, even if they do, it will easily alert more people.”
“Don’t be anxious. We’ve all seen Jinyu’s skills. If it’s not convenient for her to answer the call, she might have muted or turned off her phone. We all know the logic, and Jinyu definitely knows it too. If there’s a sudden situation, such as Jinyu needing to deal with the enemy, she can just not answer our call. It won’t affect her too much.”
“I’ll call her first. If she doesn’t answer, we’ll call her at her door again to see if her phone is ringing in her room. If it’s not and she’s not answering, we’ll think of another way.”
Feng Yuan was actually very worried too. It was just that he was more rational than Yan Jinyun.
As he made the call, he sighed inwardly. This was the first time he had seen Yun’er so flustered.
She could handle the Yan Corporation’s old-fashioned people with ease when she took over, but she was so flustered now.
The call was picked up as soon as the phone rang.
“Cousin Feng Yuan, why are you calling me so late?”
At that moment, Yan Jinyu had just left the hotel and got into a taxi.
There was someone beside her. It was Tan Shiyun.
Tan Shiyun saw Yan Jinyu jump down from the hotel balcony in the middle of the night. She was worried, so she followed her.
She didn’t hide herself on purpose either. Yan Jinyu discovered her before she walked out of the hotel.
Tan Shiyun didn’t intend to hide it. She only asked Yan Jinyu if there was anything wrong and if there was anything she needed help with. Yan Jinyu said no, so she asked Yan Jinyu where she was going. After knowing where Yan Jinyu was going, she insisted on following her no matter what. Even though she knew that Yan Jinyu was very capable, she was still worried about Yan Jinyu going alone.
Yan Jinyu finally agreed for her to follow.
There shouldn’t be any danger on this trip.
They did not expect Feng Yuan to call as soon as they got into the taxi.
Feng Yuan put her on speaker. Hearing Yan Jinyu’s voice, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s not anything important. It’s just that Yun’er went to knock on your door just now and no one answered. I’m worried that something happened to you.”
After a moment of hesitation, Feng Yuan asked, “Are you not in your room?”
“Yes, I’m going out to settle something. Why is Yun’er looking for me so late at night?”
Feng Yuan looked at Yan Jinyun. At this moment, Yan Jinyun had basically recovered her composure, “It’s nothing much. I just couldn’t sleep and wanted to talk to you.”
“Are you in danger?”
“No.”
Yan Jinyun exhaled lightly. “That’s good. Come back early then.”
“Yes, go to bed early. You don’t have to wait for me. I might be late.”
As she spoke, Yan Jinyu added, “I’ve been to Sass City many times and am very familiar with this place. I’m just going to meet a friend.”
“Alright,” she replied. Since she wasn’t back, Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan couldn’t sleep either.
After hanging up, Yan Jinyun sat down on the sofa in the room. Feng Yuan also walked over and sat down.
“Who do you think Sister was in the past? She said that she has been here many times and has friends here.”
“I don’t know.” Feng Yuan was also a little disappointed. “No matter who it is, we just have to know that she’s Jinyu, right?”
“She didn’t tell us. I don’t think it’s suitable for us to know.”
Yan Jinyun lowered her eyes. “I know, that’s why I never asked.”
“I-I just want to know what kind of life she used to have.”
Feng Yuan held her hand and patted the back of it, “No matter what kind of life she is living, it’s already very good that she can come back safely, right?”
“Look at how capable Jinyu is. A random birthday present for you is already expensive. You even said that she gave you a limited edition card with the lowest limit of one billion as New Year’s red-envelope money. I think Jinyu’s past life shouldn’t be too bad either.”
Yan Jinyun looked at the bracelet on her wrist and pursed her lips in silence.
She actually had some judgment too. Putting aside what Yan Jinyu said, this necklace could inform Yan Jinyu of her location at a critical moment. The value of this necklace wasn’t low either.
Also, Yan Jinyu could casually take out a card that even the head of the Yan Family wasn’t qualified to have and give it to her. Of course, she knew that Yan Jinyu didn’t lack money.
However, she also knew very well that Yan Jinyu’s money must have been hard to come by.
Money did not come from nowhere. How could she have it if she did not put in some effort?
Moreover, Yan Jinyu was the same age as her.
If it were her, she definitely wouldn’t be like Yan Jinyu.
Although Feng Yuan said that, he actually knew very well that Yan Jinyu’s past life definitely wasn’t “not too bad”.
He was only comforting Yan Jinyun and himself.
***
Just as Yan Jinyu hung up, Tan Shiyun asked, “Jinyu, aren’t you going to make some preparations before going to that kind of place? I heard that it’s very dangerous there.”
Yan Jinyu put away her phone and smiled at her, “Didn’t I say that I’m going to see a friend? Nothing will happen. There’s no need to prepare beforehand. Besides, if there’s really any danger, I can handle it alone. What preparations do I have to make?”
Tan Shiyun thought about it and agreed with her.
“You’re right. If there’s really any danger, you won’t agree for me to follow you. Although I was nurtured as an heir by my grandfather since I was young and my skills are not bad, it’s obvious that if there’s really any danger, I’ll definitely drag you down,” Tan Shiyun teased herself.
“Rather than saying that I’m worried about you alone, it’s more like I want to follow you to see the world. If I wasn’t with you, I really wouldn’t dare to go to that kind of place.”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “You’re being humble.”
She was indeed being humble. Although the place they were going to was indeed not an ordinary place, she did not think that Tan Shiyun, the heir of the Bo Family, would not dare to go. The Bo Family was the number one family in Water City after all, and because the Bo Family was involved with the Jones Family, the standards for nurturing their heir were very high.
About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
The taxi driver looked at the two of them strangely when they got out of the car. He probably didn’t expect the two girls to dare to come to such a place at night.
However, perhaps because he had seen too much, he did not say much and left after collecting the fare.
This place looked similar to a bustling night market. Usually, many ordinary young people would come here to play, but it was actually a black market if they walked further in.
Tan Shiyun looked at the complicated and lively night market and said as if she was lamenting, “In the past, I only heard Grandfather mention that there was such a place in Sass City, but I never had the chance to come. Now that I see it, other than being a little more noisy than an ordinary night market, there doesn’t seem to be any difference.”
“That’s indeed the case.”
“But all you see is appearances. Follow me closely. There are many people here. Don’t get separated.”
Yan Jinyu wore lightweight clothes and went out. She was wearing black pants and a black hoodie. The hoodie was pulled over her head. Moreover, it was nighttime, so if one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t be able to see her face clearly.
Tan Shiyun hurriedly changed out of her pajamas to follow Yan Jinyu when she saw Yan Jinyu go out. Naturally, she dressed casually. In addition, she had some skills, so it was very easy for her to move through the crowd.
However, when she heard Yan Jinyu’s words, she didn’t dare to ignore them and followed her closely.
They kept walking in. After they went around a few alleys, it wasn’t so crowded anymore.
“This alley seems to be a little different from the one outside,” Tan Shiyun said.
Actually, it was more than just a little different.
Not to mention that there was no commotion outside, once they walked in, be it the vendors or passers-by, they all stared at them.
Fortunately, Yan Jinyu bought two masks before they entered the alley. She and Tan Shiyun put them on each.
Most of the vendors and passers-by were also wearing masks.
Yan Jinyu was still fine, but Tan Shiyun was getting a little nervous.
Her hand in her pocket tightened around her self-defense weapon.
Suddenly, Yan Jinyu stopped in front of an older building.
The door was open, but only a dim light was switched on. Looking in from this door, there was nothing. There was not even a person.
It looked a little eerie.
Usually, guests who entered this place by mistake would not choose to enter.
Hence, more than half of the people on this street stared at them when Yan Jinyu stood in front of this building.
Tan Shiyun naturally sensed it too.
Fortunately, she had a good mental fortitude and wasn’t affected much. However, it was her first time coming to such a place after all. Tan Shiyun still felt a little uncomfortable when she was suddenly stared at by so many eyes.
She thought that she indeed lacked experience. After the matter with the Jones Family was settled and Bo Lang was confirmed not to be in any danger, she might need her grandfather to give her a chance to go out and train.
“Nervous?” Yan Jinyu turned back and asked her.
Tan Shiyun shook her head and then nodded. “A little, but it’s fine. It’s not that I can’t accept it. I can still hold on.”
“Just do whatever you want. Don’t worry about me. I didn’t come with you to drag you back.”
Yan Jinyu’s mask was also black. The face above her nose was covered, and her lips could be seen.
Her lips curled up. “Let’s go then.”
Just as the two of them were about to walk in, someone quickly passed by them.
She quickly walked past them from behind and was obviously about to enter the building too.
It was a woman. Her long hair almost reached her waist. She was wearing a red cheongsam and a red fox mask. She looked very ostentatious.
She quickly walked past them and didn’t even look at Yan Jinyu and Tan Shiyun. She probably felt that they were not worthy of her attention.
Watching the woman walk in, Tan Shiyun was a little surprised. Who would dress so ostentatiously in such a place at night?
How bold.
Yan Jinyu was still fine. She only glanced at that person’s back before retracting her gaze calmly.
Only she knew if it was a common sight or she didn’t care about unimportant people.
After walking through the door, there was a corridor. Both sides of the corridor were decorated with wooden planks. One corridor led them straight in.
Fortunately, other than being dim, the corridor was not narrow. It could accommodate four or five people walking side by side. Otherwise, no one would dare to enter such an endless corridor.
It was too easy to set up an ambush and too narrow for her to use her skills.
They walked for about five minutes before reaching the end of the corridor.
At the end was a door with two people sitting there guarding it.
Neither of them stood up. They simply stopped them, “Please show your pass.”
Their attitude was cold and they were neither polite nor rude.
The woman snorted and took out something that looked like a wooden tablet. One of them took it and checked before passing it to her, “Welcome, esteemed guest. This is your number plate. The auction will begin in 10 minutes. I hope you can get what you like.”
