Chapter 445: Raising An Ingrate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Brother Nine, you’re here so quickly?”
“Yes, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” The foot on Yu Qingwan’s chest suddenly increased pressure. “Such a small fry can’t hurt me.”
Yu Qingwan spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, Yan Jinyu had no intention of letting go of her.
She was still stepping on her and the dagger was still on her neck.
There was already a faint cut on her neck.
Yu Qingwan couldn’t care less about screaming in pain. The cold dagger pressed against her neck made her realize that she might lose her life at any moment.
Cold sweat broke out!
The person in front of her was not an ordinary person. She was the famous number one killer!
Yan Jinyu lowered her eyes and looked down at her. “Tsk, how pitiful. It seems like Liu Guang didn’t tell you my identity.”
Due to her relationship with Liu Junqing, Yu Qingwan actually knew Liu Guang’s identity.
She naturally knew what happened on Ghost Slaughter Island three years ago.
The person in front of her was the mastermind behind the destruction of Ghost Slaughter Island!
A person who had even forced Liu Guang to a dead end!
Liu Guang actually didn’t tell her that Yan Jinyu was “Chi”! Hei Yao didn’t tell her either when he came looking for her the last time!
He knew that she wanted to kill Yan Jinyu, but he didn’t tell her that Yan Jinyu was such an existence that she couldn’t be offended. How was it different from watching her die?
They were actually so ruthless to her!
“I wanted to look for you, but you came knocking on my door. You saved me a lot of effort.”
“Speaking of which, you’re really stupid. You didn’t find a chance to slip away after your identity was exposed and even chose to stay in the Lingering Garden. Could it be that you think we’ll continue to keep you around? Or are you so naive to think that we didn’t discover your identity?”
Yu Qingwan’s eyes widened.
She thought that they did not discover her identity!
“I don’t know what you’re talking about! What identity? I’ve been an orphan since I was young. I was adopted by my godfather. What other identity can I have?”
As long as she refused to admit it, they could not do anything to her!
At most, they could chase her out of the Lingering Garden.
Yan Jinyu sneered, “Don’t you think it’s too late to say all this now? Ordinary orphans won’t be able to recognize me at a glance. Ordinary orphans don’t have the courage to kill as you please.”
“Are you thinking that as long as you insist on denying it, we can’t do this to you? Isn’t it just to chase you out of the Lingering Garden?”
Yu Qingwan was shocked that all her thoughts had been guessed correctly.
“How naive.”
“Do you think Brother Nine will let you off easily? Or do you think I won’t pursue someone who wants to assassinate me?”
Yu Qingwan’s face turned pale when she realized who they were.
“W-What do you want to do? It’s said that the people who died at your hands were almost all killed with one move. You didn’t kill me and that means that you won’t kill me for the time being. Y-you can just state any conditions!”
Yan Jinyu sneered, “I won’t kill you for the time being?” She smiled sinisterly and pushed the dagger forward. “Are you sure?”
The sound of the dagger cutting through her skin frightened Yu Qingwan so much that she almost fainted. She forced herself not to faint. “No, no, no…”
“I entertained angels unaware and overestimated myself to provoke you. I apologize for my actions just now! As long as you let me go, I’ll tell you everything I know about Liu Guang!”
Yan Jinyu stopped pressing the dagger. “Oh?”
“Seems like you have admitted that you’re Liu Guang’s subordinate.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t admit it. Not to mention that we already know who you are, even if we don’t, what can you do if we want to kill you?”
“Killers like us don’t need a reason.”
She smiled coldly and murderously.
Seeing Yan Jinyu like this, Yu Qingwan was really afraid. She didn’t even dare to meet Yan Jinyu’s gaze!
His cold gaze filled with killing intent landed on her, making her shiver!
Yes, killers did not need a reason to kill, let alone the person in front of them was the famous number one killer in the killer world!
“However, I can spare your life if you’re sensible.”
Yu Qingwan’s eyes widened in surprise. “I’m sensible. I’m very sensible!”
Yan Jinyu retracted her dagger and stood up straight.
It was tiring to bend over for too long.
Her foot was still on Yu Qingwan’s heart.
“Then, before we continue the topic, I have a question to ask first.”
Although she said that she was asking, Yan Jinyu’s tone was actually firm. “When Qin Bailu wanted to take the opportunity to attack me at the Empire Mall in the capital back then, those people who were hiding in the dark to take advantage of the situation, were sent by you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Qingwan felt a frightening gaze land on her. She looked over carefully and indeed met Master Nine’s dark gaze.
She trembled in fear.
Meng Zhao was also pale with fear. The others who had come with Yin Jiujin were also shocked.
Yu Qingwan had actually wanted to kill Miss Yu more than once!
How bold!
“From your reaction, it should be.”
“Y-you already knew? Then why did you…”
“Why are you still kept alive? That’s because I think you’re still useful. I just didn’t expect Liu Guang to actually not put you in an important position. He didn’t even tell you my identity. So, what’s the point of keeping you now? You’re already useless.”
“Alright, since you’re sensible enough, answer my next question properly.” She exerted more force on her leg. “I can survive until today. I still have the ability to differentiate the truth and lies. Don’t play tricks. I believe you don’t want to experience a fate worse than death.”
Her faint tone made Yu Qingwan’s limbs turn cold.
A hint of fear slowly crept into Yu Qingwan’s heart.
“I don’t dare to… I don’t dare to…”
“Liu Junqing is indeed your fiancé?”
Yu Qingwan was shocked and then filled with jealousy.
Master Nine actually told Yan Jinyu about Liu Junqing!
She knew very well how important Liu Junqing was to Master Nine. Master Nine had even fallen out with the Yin Family because of Liu Junqing back then.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Liu Junqing was Master Nine’s sore spot.
And Master Nine was actually willing to tell Yan Jinyu about Liu Junqing!
Why!
She was so jealous that she lost her mind. The fear and cowardice from before was gradually replaced by resentment.
With Yan Jinyu’s sharp senses, she naturally sensed Yu Qingwan’s change. The dagger in her hand left her hand and brushed past Yu Qingwan’s neck before disappearing into the ground!
The dagger even trembled.
Yan Jinyu waved her left hand and the dagger returned to her hand.
It only took two seconds.
Yu Qingwan’s pupils were constricted.
It was a deep fear.
Yan Jinyu smiled and said, “You seem to be very indignant?”
Yu Qingwan wanted to shake her head and say no, but Yan Jinyu didn’t give her a chance to speak. “If you’re unhappy, hide it from me too. I have a bad temper. If there’s a next time, this dagger won’t just simply brush past your neck.”
“Whether I ask you or not, I still kill the person that needs to be killed. It won’t affect me too much.” One sentence showed Yu Qingwan’s value.
Yu Qingwan understood now. Yan Jinyu meant that even if she didn’t ask her, she would still deal with her.
In other words, she was actually not very valuable and could be killed anytime!
Upon realizing this, no matter how jealous and indignant Yu Qingwan was, she didn’t dare to show it anymore and could only suppress it.
“Do you need me to repeat my question?”
“No, no, no need! I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Liu Junqing is indeed my fiancé!”
“You know that he’s Liu Guang’s son? You also know that Liu Guang is Ghost Slaughter’s owner?”
“I know, I know everything! Father, no, Liu Guang. Liu Guang is Ghost Slaughter’s owner. Liu Junqing is Liu Guang’s biological son!”
“Then, why did you guys come to the capital back then? Since Liu Junqing is Liu Guang’s son, why did he infiltrate the army? What’s his mission?” Even though she had already guessed most of it, Yan Jinyu still wanted to confirm it again.
What Liu Guang said at the Feng Family that day was half true.
She wanted to see if there was anyone else other than Chu Yiran that was under Liu Guang’s orders.
“The fact that I dare to ask means that I’m not completely ignorant about these things. Think about it and answer properly.”
Yu Qingwan, who wanted to say something to brush it off, didn’t dare to have any thoughts when she heard Yan Jinyu say that.
“I-It was because of Father… Liu Guang’s orders that we came to the capital back then. Junqing wanted us to be free, so he agreed to hide in the army.”
“I tried to get adopted by my godfather…”
When Meng Zhao heard that, he was first in disbelief, then he was furious. “Back then, Y-you actually did it on purpose!”
Meng Zhao had no children, but he wouldn’t have adopted her for no reason. He had met Yu Qingwan twice at the entrance of the Lingering Garden and found out that she liked to sing and had a good voice. That was why he had investigated her identity and prepared to take her in as his disciple.
However, he adopted her after knowing that she was an orphan.
Meng Zhao had sincerely treated Yu Qingwan well. For Yu Qingwan, he even gave up his role as the director of the Lingering Garden.
It would be strange if he wasn’t angry when he found out that Yu Qingwan had started to scheme against him at such a young age.
He was angry and disappointed.
He had also heard a little about what kind of existence the Ghost Slaughter was.
He had treated her like his biological daughter for so many years. Not only was she involved with Ghost Slaughter, but she had also only schemed against him from the beginning.
Look at her now. He was looking at her with a questioning gaze, but she did not show any signs of regret. Not to mention saying “I’m sorry”, she did not even look at him with a guilty gaze!
“The daughter I’ve raised for so many years and treated with all my heart is actually an ingrate in the end!”
Yu Qingwan glanced at him. She didn’t care at all. She only cared if she could survive in Yan Jinyu’s hands now!
She continued to answer Yan Jinyu’s question, “Junqing’s mission is to gain Master Nine’s trust and kill Master Nine when he’s not prepared.”
It wasn’t the first time he had heard it, but Yin Jiujin still felt uncomfortable every time he heard it.
Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but feel sorry for Yin Jiujin every time she heard that.
However, she had to ask about these things after all. It was impossible for her not to ask.
Besides, although it was a little cruel, it had to be said that after hearing too much, Yin Jiujin no longer cared about this matter as much as before.
On the other hand, Meng Zhao almost fainted from anger when he heard Yu Qingwan say that.
He was Old Madam Yin’s man and was loyal to her. He was naturally loyal to Yin Jiujin, who had inherited most of Old Madam Yin’s assets.
Now, he realized that the daughter she had raised for so many years actually wanted to kill the person he was loyal to…
It was really disappointing and he felt very guilty.
His disappointment was towards his adopted daughter and his guilt was towards Master Nine!
Yan Jinyu didn’t care what Meng Zhao was thinking.
She retracted her gaze and continued to ask Yu Qingwan, “Then, other than Liu Junqing, who else infiltrated the army back then?”
Under Yu Qingwan’s shocked gaze, Yan Jinyu said, “Oh, I know that Chu Yiran is Liu Guang’s daughter.. A large part of the reason Liu Junqing was exposed back then was to protect Chu Yiran. I want to ask if there’s anyone else other than Liu Junqing and Chu Yiran?”
