Chapter 512: The Dust Settles

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

These were the two people whom he was afraid of. Liu Guang never expected that the two of them actually had such a side.

Speaking of which, he had never seen how they interacted.

No wonder the tricks that Yu Qingwan used back then were useless against them.

How could all these people have everything they wanted?

But him…

He narrowed his eyes and looked in Yin Xiaoxiao’s direction.

At that moment, Feng Li and Feng Yun had already stood beside Yin Xiaoxiao and guarded her on both sides. Yin Xiaoxiao was looking at Feng Li with love in her eyes.

He felt that he wasn’t inferior to Feng Li. Why did Yin Xiaoxiao only have Feng Li in her heart and not him all these years?

He controlled Ghost Slaughter. Wasn’t that influential enough?

Was he not outstanding enough when he managed to stand out from so many people and become one of Ghost Slaughter’s successors?

All these years, he had kept Yin Xiaoxiao by his side and never once forced her. She didn’t have the motivation to live, so he gave her one. He personally sent his son to her side to accompany her.

Wasn’t he good enough to her?

She could only see Feng Li, even if they had not seen each other for more than 10 years!

He clearly knew Yin Xiaoxiao much earlier than Feng Li!

Liu Guang only thought of this, but he didn’t think that if he really loved Yin Xiaoxiao as much as he did, how could he have so many women around him?

How could he have so many children with another woman?

He felt that he was treating Yin Xiaoxiao well, but that was simply his wishful thinking.

If he really treated Yin Xiaoxiao well, he wouldn’t have imprisoned her for so many years, made her unable to see her husband and son, and made her completely isolated from the world.

All these years, it wasn’t that he hadn’t forced Yin Xiaoxiao before, but Yin Xiaoxiao had found a way to avoid it.

Acting crazy was Yin Xiaoxiao’s normal behavior all these years.

At the end of the day, Liu Guang was only touched by himself.

For his so-called true love.

Sensing his gaze, Feng Li went forward and shielded Yin Xiaoxiao behind him. His faint gaze landed on Liu Guang.

It was clearly emotionless, but there was an inexplicable cold killing intent.

Feng Li indeed wanted to kill Liu Guang.

He raised his hand and aimed the gun at Liu Guang.

Even if he didn’t say anything, he had his own presence.

However, the pause in Yan Jinyu and Liu Guang’s confrontation gave the others who wanted to kill Liu Guang but couldn’t interfere, an opportunity.

For example, Lind Jones, Hei Yao, and Feng Li.

The three of them aimed their guns at Liu Guang at the same time.

The others did not have any obvious actions, but other than Liu Guang, there were no more enemies that they needed to deal with here. Everyone’s gazes naturally looked at Liu Guang.

Under such circumstances, coupled with the fact that Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin were standing in front of Liu Guang, Liu Guang wouldn’t be able to escape even if he had wings!

At this moment, Yan Jinyu said slowly, “Alright, since my doubts have been resolved, there’s no need for you to live anymore.”

Although with her understanding of Liu Guang, he must have considered the possibility that the two methods he used to deal with Yin Jiujin wouldn’t succeed and yet he still chose to do so.

Although it still didn’t make sense, Liu Guang was a crazy person. It didn’t seem strange that he would do such a thing.

Perhaps, Liu Guang had never thought of success and simply wanted to irritate the Yin Family.

After all, Liu Guang had feelings for Yin Xiaoxiao. It was possible for him to vent his anger on the Yin Family if he couldn’t get what he wanted.

It had to be said that Yan Jinyu had figured out the truth.

Liu Guang really had such thoughts at the beginning.

If he couldn’t succeed, he would be very happy to disgust the Yin Family too!

In the current situation, Liu Guang knew very well that he had no way out. The escape route that he had planned in advance was also cut off by Yan Jinyu.

Liu Guang’s gaze swept past everyone’s faces and finally stopped on Hei Yao’s face, “Yao’er, you really disappoint me.”

Hei Yao did not waver at all. “I’m really sorry then.”

“I should have kept Junqing by my side and sent you out back then! At least Junqing wouldn’t have pointed his gun at me!”

Hei Yao looked at him. “However, Liu Junqing—the only person who really treats you as his father—is someone who doesn’t want to stay in Ghost Slaughter and yearn for freedom. In the end, you abandoned him.”

Liu Guang was taken aback.

There seemed to be a flash of regret in his eyes.

However, it was soon over.

He looked up at Yan Jinyu again with a sharp and ruthless gaze. “No. 99, I rarely fell in my life. I never thought that all my plans would be ruined by a little girl who isn’t even 20 years old!”

“You’re indeed the best child that Ghost Slaughter has nurtured all these years!”

“Your abilities were all given to you by Ghost Slaughter. Even if I die here today, no matter what kind of life you’ll have in the future, as long as you still have your abilities, you’ll never be able to escape from the Ghost Slaughter’s label!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jinyu laughed.

She chuckled softly. “Liu Guang, I really don’t know what to say about you. Do you think you can disgust me like this? Then, you’re underestimating me too much.”

“Was my abilities given to me by Ghost Slaughter? Didn’t I rely on myself to get to where I am today? Ghost Slaughter only provided me with an environment where I had no choice but to fight to the death and make me stronger. How did it become that all my abilities were given to me by Ghost Slaughter?”

“Of course, it’s undeniable that without Ghost Slaughter, there wouldn’t be the Yan Jinyu today. However, I can tell you clearly that without Ghost Slaughter, the Yan Jinyu that grew up in the Yan Family, might not be inferior to the Yan Jinyu now.”

However, she would live a different life.

“How do you think I escaped from the kidnappers at the age of two and survived in a ruthless place like Ghost Slaughter Island with serious injuries? Do you think it’s all a coincidence?”

“If that’s the case, you’re too naive.”

“I’m only where I am today because of my smart brain and extraordinary talent!”

“…” Liu Guang.

“…” The others. There seems to be nothing wrong with that?

“Even if I feel disgusted, what’s disgusting is definitely not my abilities that I learned from killing, but my experiences on Ghost Slaughter Island all those years ago!”

Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Also, my name is Yan Jinyu, not No. 99. You have to remember that before you die. Don’t remember the person who killed you wrongly when you go to the underworld!”

As she spoke, she raised her left hand…

Bang!

A bullet hit Liu Guang’s head.

Blood spurted out and Liu Guang fell to the ground with wide open eyes.

However, it wasn’t Yan Jinyu who did it. Yin Jiujin had fired before her.

Yin Jiujin retracted his gun calmly and looked at Yan Jinyu. “Little Yu’er, I’ve said it before. When I’m around, you don’t have to make a move. I’ll kill whoever you want.”

Yin Jiujin fired again at Liu Guang, who was still breathing.

“Remember, I’m the one who killed you.”

Yan Jinyu only felt exasperated with Yin Jiujin’s actions.

A few more people came in from the door when the gunshots sounded.

They were Huo Xuan, Luo Yikun, and the others, who were out settling the mess.

They saw the situation in the room as soon as they entered.

They knew that the matter had been settled.

It wasn’t that Liu Guang wasn’t strong enough, but his enemy was stronger.

***

After Liu Guang was dealt with, the aftermath was handed to Qin Hao.

This was his job scope.

However, not only Huo Siyu, Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling also stayed to help this time.

Yin Jiujin held Yan Jinyu’s hand and walked out of the base. He had already gotten someone to prepare a car to wait for them outside.

Yin Xiaoxiao, Feng Li, and Feng Yun were with them.

Other than them, there was also Huo Xuan, Luo Yikun, Lind Jones, Yuan Xi, and… Hei Yao.

Liu Guang’s base was not big, but it wasn’t small either. It took more than 20 minutes to get from the base to the entrance.

During this period of time, no one spoke.

Only when they left the base and were about to part ways did someone finally speak.

Hei Yao was the first to speak.

He walked towards Yan Jinyu, “Yu’er, can we talk in private?”

Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks. Before she could speak, she felt a grip on her waist.

Yin Jiujin held her tightly and looked up at Hei Yao, who had a complex expression. “If you want to say something, say it here. There’s nothing I can’t know about Little Yu’er.”

He knew that Hei Yao had not really betrayed the girl back then. He knew that Hei Yao’s feelings for the girl were extraordinary, and he also pitied Hei Yao’s experience.

Hei Yao and the girl wouldn’t have fallen out if there wasn’t so much trouble.

Of course, he only had a little sympathy for him.

He would not give Hei Yao too much sympathy, nor would he give up his girl just because of a little sympathy for Hei Yao’s experience. He would not allow them to talk alone!

He was that selfish.

His girl was not to be coveted!

Hei Yao’s gaze left Yan Jinyu. He looked at Yin Jiujin.

This was the first time he was seriously sizing Yin Jiujin up.

Yin Jiujin was indeed worthy of being one of the outstanding talents of the young generation of the influential families in the capital. Not to mention his status and achievements, his looks were also much better than many others’.

Just based on their appearances, the two of them were indeed very compatible.

Hei Yao clenched his fists in his pocket and lowered his eyelids.

Forget it, let’s leave it at that.

This was also very good.

It was much better than when they were in danger on Ghost Slaughter Island and didn’t know when they would lose their lives. They had no choice but to be vigilant at all times.

Furthermore, being with Yin Jiujin was also her choice.

Of course, it could only be her choice.

No one could really force her to do what she didn’t want to do.

“…I want to apologize for what happened back then,” Hei Yao said.

Yan Jinyu’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

“I know you won’t forgive me, and I’ve never thought of getting your forgiveness. Although I don’t like this feeling of being strangers with you, I want to say that if it happens again, I’ll still do it. I’ve never regretted choosing to stay by Liu Guang’s side, and I’ll never regret it.”

“I’m leaving. Take care.”

After saying that, he turned to leave. Yan Jinyu’s eyes narrowed slightly before she finally said, “You’re really noble.” Her tone was a little cynical.

Hei Yao stopped in his tracks and hesitated for a moment before turning back.

However, he met Yan Jinyu’s cold eyes. “Do you think it’s very noble to sacrifice yourself in exchange for Liu Guang’s power to be completely removed?”

“To be honest, I really don’t appreciate such greatness.”

“Why? Who are you looking down on? Do you think I’m not qualified to fight the enemy together with you? Do you think I’ll be a burden? Or do you think a mere Liu Guang can do anything to me? I can even destroy Ghost Slaughter Island, so why should I be afraid of Liu Guang’s remaining power?”

“You did make a sacrifice, but don’t think that you can be forgiven. The sympathy card is useless to me, and I don’t buy it.”

“Ever since you chose to betray me. Oh, it doesn’t seem to be considered a betrayal now, but in my opinion, it’s no different from betrayal.”

“Because of the exposure of the plan back then, Feng, the girls and I were almost blown up along with Ghost Slaughter Island. It doesn’t matter if I live or die. Feng and the rest were pulled into this matter by me. I won’t let anything happen to them!”

“They were almost dead!”
