Chapter 460: Failed Assassinations
Hei Yao’s suggestion surprised both of them.
“I’m sure you all know very well how difficult Eldest Miss Yan is to deal with. Since she values her sister, it’s impossible for her to be unguarded. It’s probably very difficult to succeed if we send ordinary people over.”
“Why not you?” Liu Yu said unhappily.
Hei Yao then looked at him. “Why should I go? I’m just proposing. If you’re willing, just do it. If you’re not, forget it. What does saving them have to do with me?”
Liu Yu was rendered speechless.
Indeed, Hei Yao seemed to be one of them, but in fact, he was only responsible for his father’s safety. He would occasionally listen to his father’s arrangements, but Hei Yao looked like a man without any desires. He really didn’t look like he wanted to conspire with them for big things.
Hei Yao sided with his father because he was also his father’s son!
If not for this relationship, Hei Yao would not have cared so much.
He also would not have saved their father when Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed back then.
He disliked Hei Yao’s obviously nonchalant attitude the most, but his father didn’t say anything. Moreover, his father was very indulgent towards Hei Yao, so he couldn’t say anything.
Just like now, his father only frowned slightly at him and did not say anything harsh when Hei Yao said such words.
Wasn’t it just because…
Hmph, what was there to be smug about!
“Just do as Yao’er says.”
Liu Yu was only unhappy that Hei Yao was the one who suggested it. He was naturally willing to save Min Sisi.
Liu Guang naturally said, “Yes, Father.”
“Actually, there’s something I’m curious about too.”
Both of them were surprised that Hei Yao was curious about something.
They looked at him.
Hei Yao continued to ask Liu Guang with an expressionless face, “You took time out of your busy schedule to personally nurture Min Sisi. It’s obvious that she’s quite important to you, but what I see is that she’s not as important as Chu Yiran to you. Does Chu Ying have something on you that makes you have no choice but to put Chu Yiran in an important position?”
Chu Ying was Chu Yiran’s mother.
Liu Guang paused, “No!”
“To me, there has never been anyone who’s more important than others. There’s only the difference in value. Those who are valuable will naturally be valued. There’s no need to keep those who are not valuable.”
Hei Yao glanced at him without saying a word and retracted his gaze calmly.
He wondered if they believed him.
On the other hand, Liu Yu suddenly felt very uncomfortable when he heard Liu Guang’s words.
“How’s the investigation of Villa No. 10 going?” Liu Guang suddenly asked.
If he didn’t know what kind of person he was, Liu Yu would have thought that he was deliberately changing the topic.
“No matter how we investigate, there’s only one outcome. The gas explosion that triggered the thing hidden in the basement resulted in an accident. From the nearby surveillance cameras, the chances of someone sneaking in to save him are not high, so it’s very likely that he’s dead.”
Liu Yu’s words made Liu Guang frown deeply.
“Do you think surveillance is useful in No. 99’s eyes? If she did it herself, she could totally avoid the surveillance cameras.”
Liu Yu didn’t dare to reply.
Of course, he knew that with Yan Jinyu’s skills, she could completely avoid the surveillance cameras. They hadn’t touched the surveillance cameras nearby if they didn’t want to stand out. They were all ordinary surveillance cameras that were arranged when the villa area was planned.
“Continue investigating!”
“Yes.”
“Also, set off to North City tomorrow to bring them back. No. 99 never does things according to common sense. If she finds out about our intentions and kills them first before rushing to North City to stop us, with your skills, it’s impossible for you to escape from her.”
Although this was the truth, Liu Yu was still very indignant when he heard Liu Guang say that.
This made him look very weak.
However, this was the truth.
“Yes, I’ll definitely bring her back. During the time I’m away from the capital, I hope Father can think of a way to save my sister. I know that as long as you want, even if she’s in Qin Hao’s hands, you can still protect her.”
“No, you’re wrong.”
Liu Guang said, “Even I’m not sure what No. 99 will do next. If I negotiate with her, she might kill them right away just to make me unhappy because she sees that I care about your sister and the other two.”
Liu Yu didn’t grow up on Ghost Slaughter Island. His understanding of Yan Jinyu mostly came from rumors. In reality, he didn’t know Yan Jinyu very well, nor did he know Yan Jinyu’s style of doing things.
However, when Hei Yao heard Liu Guang say that, his eyelids lowered slightly.
He hid the emotions in his eyes.
Indeed, this was something that she could do. Especially if she knew that they had designs on Yan Jinyun, she might kill them in a fit of anger.
He had to send Liu Yu away.
Even if Liu Yu went personally, he might not be able to bring her back.
“So you better bring her back as soon as possible, if you still want to save your sister.”
Liu Yu didn’t know Yan Jinyu well, but he knew that there was no need for Liu Guang to lie about this to scare him.
He did not dare to underestimate her. “Father, don’t worry!”
Someone came to report that the Old Master of the Yu Family, Yu Quan, had arrived.
Liu Guang gestured for Liu Yu to get up and asked someone to call Yu Quan in.
The first thing Yu Quan saw when he came in was Hei Yao and Liu Guang standing at the side. Then, he saw Liu Guang sitting in the wheelchair.
His expression tensed up and he said respectfully, “Sir.”
“How’s it going?”
Yu Quan lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at him. “We’ve already sent three batches of people, but none of them came back alive.”
Liu Guang’s expression darkened, “Three batches? How many people are there in total?”
His bone-chilling gaze frightened Yu Quan so much that he trembled and said in fear, “Th-thirty people.”
“Thirty? Are they all crippled like that?”
Yu Quan was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
“Father, the Third Young Master of the Min Family is not a pushover either. I’m afraid ordinary killers can’t do anything to him. Besides, the other party might have guessed that we will weaken their strength bit by bit. They might have been prepared.”
After saying that, Liu Yu met Liu Guang’s sharp gaze.
Just as he was wondering if he had said something wrong, he heard Liu Guang say, “It’s rare for you to have such a sharp mind.”
Liu Yu instantly felt stifled.
Hei Yao was outstanding in everything. Was Liu Junqing, who had died early, the most suitable successor? Only he had never received any praise from his father!
Liu Guang didn’t know what he was thinking.
Liu Guang said to Yu Quan, “Assassinations are something that can only be done in one go. If you failed once, you would alarm the other party and make them wary. There’s no point in doing it again. I didn’t expect you to be so stupid as to send two more batches of people over. Why? Do you think we have too many people and you want to kill them on purpose?”
Yu Quan was shocked and knelt down with a bang.
The sound was so loud that everyone who heard it felt their knees hurt.
“I was stupid. Please forgive me, Sir!” Yu Quan broke out in cold sweat. He sensed Liu Guang’s killing intent.
“There won’t be a next time!”
“Y-yes… Thank you, Sir.” He had survived a disaster.
Actually, they had attacked Min Xiangbei first. However, Min Ting and Min Xiangbei were together that day. Min Ting was skilled, so both of them were fine.
Not to mention that Min Ting was already prepared after the first assassination failed. After suspecting that this might be related to Liu Guang, Min Ting told Yin Jiujin and Yin Jiujin had sent some people to secretly protect him and Min Xiangbei.
Under such circumstances, how could the subsequent assassinations succeed?
However, Yin Jiujin could resolve this matter. He had also made arrangements to deal with Liu Guang attacking them one by one, so he didn’t tell Yan Jinyu.
He just felt that there was no need to bother her since he could settle such a small matter.
“Sir, I heard that something happened to Missy. You…”
The Missy Yu Quan was talking about was Min Sisi.
Actually, even Yu Quan, who had worked under Liu Guang for many years, did not know about Chu Yiran’s existence.
“I already know about this. I have my own arrangements. You don’t have to interfere.”
“On the other hand, you have to keep an eye on the members of your Yu Family. Don’t keep coming to the door to investigate. You know my temper. Don’t blame me for not caring about our relationship and getting rid of them directly.”
Yu Quan trembled again.
He actually knew about this.
His son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were still fine because they roughly knew what he was doing. They had worked with him for Sir for so many years, but only his granddaughter, Yu Chen, knew nothing.
Yu Chen didn’t know anything. She heard that there were guests at home and they weren’t allowed to disturb them. They had been staying at their home for many days, so she was inevitably curious.
She could not help but come over to investigate when she was curious. However, someone was guarding the door and did not allow her to enter. She became even more curious and came over to investigate a few more times.
Yu Quan was a little glad that his granddaughter had become much calmer after experiencing the Min Family’s accident. She only wandered at the door and did not rashly come over to disturb them. Otherwise, she would have long…
What Yu Quan didn’t know was that Yu Chen didn’t become calm after the Min Family’s incident. She was clearly frightened by Yan Jinyu.
In addition, she had also heard about what happened at the Min Family’s banquet. When she found out that Yan Jinyu, Min Rufeng, and the others were actually so formidable, she was so frightened that she fell ill.
She was sick for two months.
After she recovered, she mostly recuperated at home. She only went to the Imperial Capital Hospital to work occasionally.
She had almost become a part-time doctor.
However, the Yu Family had some status after all and that saved her job. Even if she didn’t go to work often now, she could still go to work whenever she wanted.
Most importantly, putting everything else aside, Yu Chen relied on her own ability to enter the Imperial Capital Hospital.
Otherwise, even if the Yu Family was really capable, the Imperial Capital Hospital might not have allowed it.
Min Rufeng was the head of the Imperial Capital Hospital now.
Of course, Min Rufeng wouldn’t know about such a small matter like Yu Chen’s leave of absence.
“Sir, don’t worry. I’ll definitely warn them and guarantee that they won’t do it again!”
Liu Guang glanced at him. “Get up.”
He asked Liu Yu, “Where’s Jones?”
“He should be in his room at this time.” It was already dark. It was almost nine in the evening.
“His injuries aren’t healed yet?”
“No, he’s been sitting in a wheelchair all day. He looks like he’s seriously injured. I thought he was pretending and hired a doctor to take a look. The doctor’s words are no different from his appearance. His injuries are indeed not healed.”
“Watch him closely. Don’t let him ruin things!”
Now, the Jones Family’s power was almost completely taken by that illegitimate son of the Jones Family, and Lind Jones was actually not anxious at all.
This made Liu Guang suspect that he had deliberately given his power to that illegitimate son.
However, according to what he had found out, Lind Jones was a pervert. He hated that illegitimate son to the core and wanted to torture that illegitimate son to death in his early years. He felt that it was impossible for Lind Jones to take the initiative to give power to that illegitimate son, so he was slightly relieved.
“Father, don’t worry. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on him.”
***
The next morning, Liu Yu left the capital and went to North City.
Yu Chen appeared outside their courtyard again.
There were people guarding the courtyard door, so she could not enter at all.
With Yu Quan’s warning, Yu Chen didn’t dare to approach.
But she saw someone.
That person was standing in the courtyard. He was wearing a white robe and had an otherworldly appearance. He looked like a wealthy young master who had walked out of a painting. He was aristocratic and outstanding.
The Yu Family’s guest was actually such a good-looking person?
Who was he?
Why had she never seen him before?
How did the Yu Family have contact with such a person?
There were many questions. Yu Chen wanted to go closer to investigate, but she didn’t dare to go closer when she saw the two people standing outside the door.
Afraid that her grandfather would find out and punish her, Yu Chen didn’t dare to stay for long.
She left first.
Anyway, she had already remembered the other party’s looks and could ask around.
It was obvious that such a person’s background was high. Did it mean that the Yu Family would rise to a higher level if the Yu Family could get to know this person?
Then, would Min Rufeng, who looked down on her, treat her differently?
However, Yu Chen did not see it. After she turned and left, Feng Yun looked up at the direction where she was standing just now and smiled slightly.
She turned and went upstairs.
Yu Chen didn’t ask the others in the Yu Family. Instead, she got someone else to help her find out.
After asking around for two days without any results, she went to the courtyard to investigate further. She increasingly felt that the person living there was not simple.
Hence, that night, she called Min Rufeng..
