Chapter 489: That Person Is Awake
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Gui was stunned, “If you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have realized it. If Eldest Miss Yan doesn’t have a boyfriend and she rejects a guy who seems to be of good quality, she would probably be scolded to death by the guy’s admirers. Just now, there were so many people at the side who encouraged Eldest Miss Yan to agree. This feels like he’s forcing Eldest Miss Yan to agree!”
The boy’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
“Eldest Miss Yan rejected him so seriously just now. Can’t you tell?”
“Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? Do you know how smart Eldest Miss Yan is? She can tell his intentions and yet she still rejects him seriously. It’s only because she’s… kind.”
Yes, kind.
Before this, Luo Yikun didn’t believe that Yan Jinyu, the number one killer, still had the quality of “kindness”.
Most importantly, Master Nine actually didn’t pursue the matter either.
He thought that someone like Master Nine, who did as he pleased, would pursue the matter to the end when he knew that this boy was confessing to Yan Jinyu with the intention of forcing her to agree.
It was probably because he could tell that although this boy was a little scheming, he was not a bad person. That was why he did not kill him.
It was said that Master Nine was ruthless and indifferent, but it turned out…
It was no wonder that the two of them had such a deep relationship.
They were ruthless when they should be ruthless, and kind when they should be kind.
The two of them were really similar.
“Since Eldest Miss Yan can tell, can’t Master Nine also tell?”
As he spoke, Xu Gui looked at the boy and lamented, “Bro, you’re really lucky. Do you know what happens to people who offend Master Nine? Master Nine probably took into consideration that Miss Yan still has to go to school here in the future and that’s why he didn’t pursue the matter.”
“He’s indeed lucky.” After saying that, Luo Yikun pulled Xu Gui away and they left the canteen.
The boy was left rooted to the ground.
After a long while, he exhaled lightly to comfort the people around him and tell them that he was fine. Then, he asked Qin Xuan, “Qin Xuan, may I ask who exactly is Yan Jinyu’s fiancé, Master Nine?”
He asked this because he was afraid of offending others.
Seeing that everyone was very afraid of that man, he did not want to offend anyone he could not afford to offend in the capital as he was not from the capital.
Qin Xuan pitied him. “Well, if you know someone in the high society circle in the capital, you should be able to know if you ask them casually.”
Chu Xiaohuan continued, “Actually, even if you don’t know anyone from the high society circle, you can still find out who Master Nine is. Just like earlier on, many people present recognized Master Nine. There are really not many people who haven’t heard of Master Nine’s name.”
Just as Chu Xiaohuan finished speaking, a boy beside the guy grabbed him. “Alright, buddy, stop asking. I know who that is. You don’t know Master Nine, but you should know about the Empire Group, right? The Empire Group belongs to Master Nine. The Yin Family is all part of the government system. Master Nine started his business from scratch. He even created a legend like the Empire Group.”
The boy’s face went white.
He was the top student in the School of Economics. How could he not have heard of the business world’s God of Slaughter?
So this Master Nine was that Master Nine!
Regardless of whether the people around them knew Master Nine’s identity, they all sighed when they heard their conversation.
Who had not heard of the Empire Group?
The Empire Mall was so big that it had chains in many cities in the country. Almost everyone had gone to the Empire Mall!
The Empire Mall belonged to the Empire Group.
Seeing that he was completely frightened silly, Qin Xuan couldn’t help but say, “Actually, if someone like Master Nine didn’t pursue the matter just now, he probably won’t fuss about that in the future. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“However, don’t confess like this next time. You’ll make things difficult for the girl. No one will be happy if they’re forced to agree to the confession. It’s only Jinyu. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t let it go so easily.”
The more she said, the more ashamed he felt. “Th-thank you… I really didn’t consider it thoroughly this time. I won’t disturb your meal anymore.”
After the boy left, Zhao Linlin, who had been silent, finally said, “Xuanxuan, Xiaohuan, is the Empire Group that they’re talking about the Empire Group that I know of?”
Before they could reply, Zhao Linlin was already lamenting.
Qin Xuan said in amusement, “How many Empire Groups can there be?”
“S-so, Jinyu is the eldest daughter of the small family, who was rumored to be engaged to Master Nine since she was young?”
“What eldest daughter of a small family? That’s the number one family in North City. They’re not considered a big family in the capital, but their status in North City is second to none,” Chu Xiaohuan disagreed.
Zhao Linlin had already realized that her expression was inappropriate. She hurriedly said, “No, I don’t mean… I heard it from the others. Forget it, I won’t explain anymore. The more I explain, the worse it sounds. You just have to know that I don’t have any ill intentions.”
“I’m just a little shocked. I know Jinyu’s background isn’t low, but I didn’t expect… I really feel like there are big shots all around me.”
“Don’t think too much. Jinyu has already introduced us to Master Nine. It means that she already treats us as friends. We’ll interact in the future like how we interacted previously. Don’t change because you know Jinyu’s identity. Otherwise, Jinyu will probably be disappointed.”
Qin Xuan nodded in agreement. “Xiaohuan is right. On the first day we met, I felt that although Jinyu looks like she’s always smiling warmly at everyone and looks very easy to get along with, she’s actually not easy to get close to. It’s not easy for us to get close to her. Don’t be distant because of your difference in status.”
“Of course,” Zhao Linlin said.
“Don’t worry. In school, we’re just classmates and roommates. I won’t mix in anything else. I just suddenly found out about Jinyu’s identity, so I was overwhelmed. I’ll be fine after I recover.”
“Besides, I still have to rely on Jinyu in order to read my idol’s medical books. Of course, I won’t ruin our relationship.”
Seeing her like this, Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan felt relieved.
Actually, even though they were persuading Zhao Linlin, they were not very calm either.
If they hadn’t been mentally prepared, they probably wouldn’t have behaved as well as Zhao Linlin.
“By the way, Xiaohuan, Jinyu said that she’s bringing you to meet someone this weekend. Who are you meeting?” Qin Xuan suddenly asked.
This was completely a casual chat to ease their shock.
Not only did they see Master Nine, but they also saw the head of the Huo Family.
Even if Master Nine didn’t appear, just the eldest son of the Huo Family would shock them for a long time.
Especially since it was said that the eldest son of the Huo Family was a sickly person. After seeing him in person, they realized that although he was indeed a little sickly, he was completely unrelated to a sickly person.
He was an outstanding man.
Chu Xiaohuan shook her head. “Jinyu didn’t say anything. I’ll only know after we meet.”
After walking out of the canteen, Xu Gui suddenly stopped and asked hesitantly, “Luo Yikun, is the partner you’re talking about… Eldest Miss Yan?”
Xu Gui himself was shocked when he asked this.
Because this was really too inconceivable.
Luo Yikun’s partner was one of the top four killers on Ghost Slaughter Island!
If it wasn’t for Luo Yikun’s special attitude towards Yan Jinyu, coupled with the fact that Yan Jinyu had been missing for many years and Huo Siyu, who was beside Yan Jinyu, had also been missing for many years before being found, he wouldn’t have dared to think in this direction at all.
Yan Jinyu would only be 19 years old after some time!
In other words, she was only 18 years old now!
18 years old. Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed four years ago.
In other words, she was only 15 years old when she destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island!
What did that mean?
Since he asked, it meant that he had guessed it and Luo Yikun had no intention of hiding it.
“Yes, it’s her.”
“Then, what about the other three? Who are they?”
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to know anymore.”
“B-But, can you tell me which of the four of them is Eldest Miss Yan?”
Luo Yikun didn’t say anything and gave him a thumbs up.
Xu Gui gasped when he saw this.

They went to the Mount West Villa. Yan Jinyu sat in Yin Jiujin’s car while Huo Xuan and Huo Siyu took one car and Huo Siyu drove.
“Brother…”
After hesitating for a long time, Huo Siyu spoke.
“What?”
“N-nothing. I just want you not to worry too much. Brother Feng’s medical skills are very good. Your situation is much better now. It’ll get better in the future.”
That wasn’t what she actually wanted to say. She wanted to comfort him.
She wanted to persuade him not to focus on Beauty Yu. He should divert his attention and find a good girl to date.
However, she still could not say it out loud in the end.
Huo Xuan looked at her deeply and smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, I know. Actually, it’s already very good now.”
“It’ll be even better!”
He chuckled. “Yes, it’ll be even better.”
In the other car, Yin Jiujin drove silently.
Yan Jinyu knew that he was jealous again.
She tilted her head and looked at him. “Brother Nine, are you angry?”
“No.”
“Then, are you jealous?”
“No.”
Yin Jiujin turned to her. “I’m simply very unhappy. I’m a little regretful that I sent you to school. I met someone who confessed to you when I went over today. I wonder how many people were coveting you when I didn’t know.”
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became!
Yan Jinyu chuckled. “I don’t know how many people are coveting me, but it’s the first time someone has confessed.”
Yin Jiujin glared at her. “How many more times do you want it to happen?”
Yan Jinyu smiled. “Not even once.”
“Alright, Brother Nine, he’s not someone important. The more you take it to heart, the more I’ll remember him. Wait, what was that boy’s name again?”
“Try to remember him!” Yin Jiujin threatened fiercely.
Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m just teasing you. That boy didn’t even have the time to introduce himself before he was interrupted.”
“Speaking of which, I wonder what he’s thinking. He didn’t even introduce himself when he confessed. Who would agree to a stranger for no reason…”
Yin Jiujin glared at her again.
He glared at her again and again.
Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh again.
She felt that Yin Jiujin was simply too adorable and cute.
“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about him anymore. On the other hand, Brother Nine, your appearance today was completely a shock-and-awe. You completely cut off all my admirers!”
She held her face with both hands and blinked at him. “Sigh, how can there be such a perfect man like you? You have to have looks, figure, talent, money, power, and influence… I’m simply too lucky to have such an outstanding fiancé like you.”
“…” Yin Jiujin’s ears turned slightly red.
Exaggerating!
However, her words made him feel good.
“At least you know how to talk!”
“That’s why you have such an outstanding fiancé like me. You have to cherish me. Try not to look at… No, you can’t look at other men!”
Yan Jinyu didn’t mind his arrogant tone, nor did she expose his uneasiness.
“Yes, yes, yes. I won’t look at anyone but you.”
“Then, Brother Nine, since you regret sending me to school, why don’t I not…”
He glared at her. “Don’t even think about it. What are you going to do if you don’t go to school at your age?”
“That’s not because I don’t want to go to school. It’s because you said that you regret it.”
“You just don’t want to! My regret is my business. You still have to continue your studies.”
Yan Jinyu shrugged. “Alright, since you’ve said so, you can’t be jealous so easily in the future.”
“…I still have to be jealous. If I’m not jealous when someone is thinking about you, doesn’t that mean that I don’t care about you?”
“Hmph, you’re mine. I won’t allow others to covet you!”
“Yes, yes, I’m yours.”
Since she was almost done soothing him, Yan Jinyu didn’t want to stay on this topic anymore in case he got jealous again when he thought of this.
“Then, Brother Nine, why did you suddenly appear in school? I don’t believe that you really left the company’s work behind and specially came to see Huo Xuan just because he came. Huo Xuan doesn’t carry so much weight.”
Yin Jiujin looked at her and smiled in satisfaction. “Not bad. You know me very well. You’re a qualified fiancée.”
Yan Jinyu glared at him.
There was really no end to it.
“He really doesn’t have that much weight. I’m here to pick you up, of course.”
Of course, he wouldn’t tell her that Huo Xuan had gone to the Imperial Capital University as soon as he arrived and he rushed over because he was guarding against Huo Xuan getting close to her.
“Really?” Yan Jinyu expressed her doubts.
“Really!”
“Then why did you suddenly pick me up? What’s the matter?”
This…
Yin Jiujin had yet to come up with a reason.
At that moment, Yan Jinyu’s phone rang.
It was Min Rufeng.
“Hello? Feng.”
“He’s awake?” Yan Jinyu’s expression suddenly turned serious. “Alright, we’ll be right back!”
Without saying anything, Yin Jiujin could guess what was going on from her two short sentences.
“Is he awake?”
Yan Jinyu nodded.
“That’s why I picked you up.”
“…” Yan Jinyu was speechless. Who’s going to believe you?
“Ahem… I received a call. The person in charge of taking care of him said that he showed signs of waking up, so I wanted to pick you up and take a look.”
Yan Jinyu was skeptical.
“Little Yu’er, I haven’t eaten yet.” Yin Jiujin simply used his trump card.
Indeed, after he said that, Yan Jinyu’s attention was completely focused on that. “Then I’ll call Aunt Cheng and ask her to prepare now. The food should be ready when we reach Mount West Villa. You can eat it immediately.”
“Yes.” Yin Jiujin’s heart warmed when he heard her say that. He had only wanted to divert her attention.
Yan Jinyu had already called Aunt Cheng. Then, she asked him, “What do you want to eat?”
“Anything is fine. You decide what Aunt Cheng should prepare.”
After a pause, Yin Jiujin added, “We can prepare more. After all, we have guests.”
“Alright.” Yan Jinyu repeated his words to Aunt Cheng.
After that, the two of them didn’t say much.
Yan Jinyu was thinking about who the person they saved was..
