Chapter 479: Meeting A Few People

Perhaps he did not know Luo Yikun very well?
Xu Gui looked at him without saying a word. Luo Yikun quickly guessed his thoughts.
“I’ll explain the exact details to you in the future. It’s not safe to stay in the country now. I’ll arrange for you to go overseas. I’ll look for you when this is over.”
“Of course, you’re not going overseas alone. I’ll also make arrangements for Qiu and my parents. Qiu had worked hard to get into the Imperial Capital University, so I’ll think of a way to get her a place as an exchange student. When this matter comes to an end, she can come back anytime she wants.”
“As for you… I’ll look for you after this is over. Whether you want to settle overseas or come back, will depend on your wishes. Be it overseas or coming back, I’ll sweep away all the obstacles and won’t make things difficult for you.”
“You don’t have to worry either. I have a way to guarantee that the other party won’t be able to find you.” Liu Guang had a formidable enemy to deal with now, so he didn’t have the energy to investigate them.
As long as he arranged it meticulously, he could guarantee that Liu Guang wouldn’t be able to find them.
Even if Liu Guang really could find them, he was still in the country. Liu Guang had to get past him even if he wanted to investigate.
He would do his best to create trouble for Liu Guang and make sure that Liu Guang didn’t have any extra energy to investigate.
Luo Yikun had already arranged it. What else could Xu Gui say?
He considered him as someone he cared about, and he actually…
However, asking him to go overseas now?
He knew Luo Yikun’s concerns, but he didn’t want to go overseas.
Before he knew about this, he didn’t want to. Otherwise, why didn’t he accept his family’s arrangements to go overseas and stay in the country to go to university?
After knowing this, he didn’t want to go overseas anymore.
He went overseas at such a critical moment and then worried all day about whether he was safe in the country. What was that supposed to be?
Of course, he also knew very well that he might burden him if he stayed in the country.
His rationality told him that he should go overseas according to his arrangements. His emotions told him that he should not.
“It’s only right that you arranged for Luo Qiu to go overseas with your parents, but why do you even want me to go overseas too? You and I are at most good friends. No, we’re not even friends. We just have a lot of interactions.”
Luo Yikun’s smile faded. He stared at him and said word by word, “Not even friends? Last night…”
Xu Gui quickly interrupted him, “Shut up!” He was like a frightened rabbit. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were in the breakfast shop and there were many people around, he would have jumped up long ago.
“In the eyes of outsiders, we can at most be considered to have some ties. We’ll just cut ties for the time being. A small fry like me, that kind of big shot won’t pay attention at all.”
Luo Yikun was about to say something when Xu Gui said firmly, “I’m not going overseas!”
“I’ve said it. As long as we don’t interact much, those big shots won’t notice a small fry like me at all.”
Luo Yikun naturally knew that he had a point, but…
“Stop interacting with you. I’m afraid I can’t do it.”
Xu Gui felt a little uncomfortable as he stared at him.
“Up to you. Anyway, I don’t want to go overseas.” At least not now.
As for the future…
They would talk about it later.
In the country, he would have to withstand a lot of pressure if he really wanted to continue according to his wishes. It would be easier overseas.
“Little Guizi…”
Xu Gui had already stood up, “I’m done eating. I’ll make a move first.”
Luo Yikun was about to get up and follow him when someone walked towards him. “Second Brother!”
It was Luo Qiu. She seemed to be a little flustered.
“I was about to look for you. It’s good that you’re here. I have something to ask you.” Luo Qiu seemed to be in a hurry. She didn’t even bother to greet Xu Gui.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for her not to greet him.
Because she knew Luo Yikun’s thoughts, she naturally wouldn’t have ignored Xu Gui.
Especially when Xu Gui was with Luo Yikun.
Xu Gui was also very curious when he saw Luo Qiu so flustered.
However, he didn’t stay long. “Then you guys chat. I have class in the morning. I’ll make a move first.”
Luo Qiu was anxious and didn’t care about him. She nodded casually when she heard that.
Luo Yikun hesitated but didn’t stop him in the end.
He could roughly guess why Luo Qiu was looking for him.
It was better not to let Xu Gui hear it lest he was more worried.
After all, the Yu Family was destroyed overnight.
Just hearing it was scary enough.
“Sit down first.”
Luo Qiu sat down.
“Have you had breakfast?” Luo Yikun asked.
Luo Qiu nodded and then shook her head, “I did, but I came to look for you before I could eat. Second Brother, something seems to have happened to the Yu Family. Do you know that?”
The Yu Family was her maternal grandfather’s family. She had just acknowledged her maternal grandfather not long ago and had not interacted much with him when she received the news that something had happened to the Yu Family.
Actually, she didn’t have a deep relationship with the Yu Family. However, that was her mother’s home after all. It was her mother’s family and relatives whom she had just acknowledged. Now that something had happened to them, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent.
“I know.”
“I’ll order you breakfast first. We’ll talk while we eat.”
As he spoke, he called the waiter over to order.
Luo Qiu didn’t care if he ordered breakfast or not. She simply asked, “Second Brother, I suddenly received news this morning that the Yu Family’s residence has been sealed by the state. What’s going on? Could it be that the Yu Family has committed a crime?”
Was it sealed off?
He did not know that.
However, since Qin Hao was handling the aftermath, this method was also reasonable.
Qin Hao was responsible for handling some special cases. Anyone with a brain wouldn’t interfere in Qin Hao’s matters personally. It would save them a lot of trouble.
“You can say that.”
“Second Brother, do you know what happened to the Yu Family?” Luo Qiu was not stupid. Luo Yikun was not shocked at all. He even answered her calmly, which meant that he knew.
Luo Yikun didn’t intend to hide it from her, even if he knew very well that Luo Qiu might be sad when she found out the truth.
If a person in charge of the family didn’t even have this little resilience, how was she going to manage the family business in the future?
“You should have heard of Ghost Slaughter Island.”
Luo Qiu couldn’t react to what Ghost Slaughter Island was for a moment. When she did, she couldn’t calm down from her shock.
Ghost Slaughter Island?
That Ghost Slaughter Island?
Of course, she had heard of it!
Four years ago, Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed by its own people.
But who destroyed it? Even she, who was young then, had heard about such a big event.
“Ghost Slaughter Island and the Yu Family…”
“They’re together. The Yu Family worked for the head of Ghost Slaughter. They were also involved in Eldest Aunt’s death back then.”
Last night, when Liu Guang mentioned that Eldest Aunt’s death was related to him, Yu Quan and the others in the Yu Family were not surprised. Obviously, they knew.
Even if they didn’t know, it meant that Eldest Aunt didn’t hold much weight in their hearts. That was why they were indifferent after knowing the cause of Eldest Aunt’s death.
Perhaps, they had also taken part back then.
Regardless of whether they knew or not, the Yu Family was not worth Qiu’s extra feelings.
“You’re saying that my mother’s death is related to the Yu Family?!”
“Yes, so you don’t have to interfere in the Yu Family’s matters. They’re not worth it. Something happened to the Yu Family because their relationship with Ghost Slaughter was discovered and it was handled by the state.”
“If you didn’t look for me, I would have gone looking for you too.”
“The Yu Family was captured, but the head of Ghost Slaughter escaped. It’s not safe to stay in the country now. I’m prepared to arrange for you to go overseas with my parents. Don’t worry, you’ll go overseas as an exchange student. When the state catches them and there’s no danger, you can come back.”
Luo Qiu was really shocked.
She could not react to this series of events.
“You don’t have to worry about the Luo Family’s business. I’ll take care of it. I’ll hand it to you unscathed when you come back.”
“No, Second Brother, what does the Yu Family’s relationship with the head of Ghost Slaughter have to do with me? Why am I not safe in the country while he is on the run?”
Luo Yikun paused for a moment before saying truthfully, “Because they’re after me. Eldest Aunt was also killed by them because she protected me from falling into their hands back then. It can be said that Eldest Aunt’s death is related to me.”
Luo Qiu looked at him in surprise.
“If you want to blame me, I won’t have any complaints. But now, you have to go overseas.”
Blame him?
Luo Qiu didn’t know.
She had never seen her biological mother since she was young, but she grew up with Second Brother. Second Brother had always protected her since she was young. After she grew up, Second Brother helped her seize and hold the power of the Luo Family.
She only had a vague concept for her biological mother. However, for her Second Brother, their relationship since they were young was real.
She knew very well that anyone would harm her, but never Second Brother.
“What about you, Second Brother? You said that you would take care of the Luo Family’s businesses. In other words, you won’t leave with us, right?”
Luo Yikun nodded. “The trouble arose because of me. I have to stay and resolve it.”
“But…”
“I know what you want to say. I won’t be in danger. You can rest assured about that.” Seeing that she still wanted to say something, Luo Yikun simply said, “But if you stay in the country, I might be in danger because of you. I can protect myself, but I might not be able to protect you. The other party might use you to threaten me.”
Luo Qiu suddenly fell silent.
She understood what he meant.
Although it was a little hurtful, she knew that it was the truth.
She would be his burden if she stayed.
“…Alright, Second Brother will arrange what to do.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t go to school today. She had applied for leave.
It was already late in the morning when she woke up, not to mention that she had other things to do.
She wanted to meet Min Sisi and Chu Yiran.
Yin Jiujin was with her.
Chu Ying, who Yin Jiujin had arranged for someone to capture, was also being held by Qin Hao.
Being locked together made it easier for them to be watched and interrogated.
After all, using torture would only give people a huge impact when they saw it with their own eyes.
It would be more useful for interrogation if the impact was big.
This was Yan Jinyu’s first time going to the army.
It was not entirely the army. This was under Qin Hao’s jurisdiction. Here, Qin Hao was the boss. It could be said that this was Qin Hao’s territory.
There was no need for complicated procedures. As long as Qin Hao gave permission, they could enter.
Furthermore, with Yin Jiujin around.
Many people still remembered Yin Jiujin’s reputation in the army in the early years.
Hence, when Qin Hao allowed them to pass and with Yin Jiujin escorting her at the side, Yan Jinyu received the highest treatment once they entered.
Ever since she entered the base, everyone had been very respectful to her.
“Master Nine, Eldest Miss Yan, they’re here.”
Qin Hao didn’t come. He hadn’t settled the Yu Family’s matters yet and had only arranged for someone to lead the way for them.
Looking at the dark cell and the various torture devices in front of her, the corners of Yan Jinyu’s lips curled up slightly. She held Yin Jiujin’s hand and walked in.
Min Sisi, Chu Yiran, and Wang Zhi were locked in one room while Chu Ying was locked in the other.
It had only been a few days, but the three people locked up together were already in a sorry state. At this moment, they were all crouching in a corner. No one was touching each other. They were probably tired from fighting and were in a truce.
And with their characters, this so-called truce was probably also insisted by the wardens.
“We meet again!”
