Chapter 26: Stopped In A Dark Alley
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The shortcut was usually a dark alley with few people.
The car quickly entered an alley. At first, they could see a few people, but they could not see a single person when they went further in.
There were only two cans of yogurt left in the plastic bag.
Yan Jinyu took out a can. As she drank, she looked out of the car window. Nobody knew if she was really looking at the scenery outside or deep in thought.
She had just finished her drink when the car suddenly braked and stopped.
“Why did you suddenly stop?” Yan Jinyun asked the driver.
“Second Missy, the road ahead is blocked. The alley is too narrow. There can’t be a wrong car. Strange, this is a one-way street. Why would there be a car coming from the other side?”
“Go down and ask.”
“Alright, Missies. Please wait a moment. I’ll go take a look.” The driver’s doubt did not seem to be fake. It seemed like he really did not know what had happened.
Yan Jinyun looked at Yan Jinyu, who was calmly placing the empty can in a plastic bag. She took out the last packet of yogurt and plugged the straw in. But, she didn’t drink it immediately. Her eyes flickered slightly, “Sister, you don’t have to worry. In this kind of alley with no surveillance cameras, such a situation often happens. Let’s wait for the driver to take a look first. If we really can’t pass through, we can just turn back. We won’t be stuck here forever.”

Yan Jinyu held the phone in one hand and shook the yogurt in the other. She leaned against the back of the chair and looked at her lazily, “I’m not worried.”
“Shouldn’t you go over there to take a look, Yun’er? Your chauffeur seems to be in trouble.”
Following her gaze, she saw that right in front of the car, the driver who had gone down to investigate had a dagger placed on his neck. He was being held down.
At the same time, three gangsters alighted from the car opposite.
It was expected. However, Yan Jinyun didn’t know why the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger. It was only then that she realized that the reason that she felt uneasy was because of Yan Jinyu!
Yan Jinyu was too calm!
This was not the reaction a girl should have when she was faced with such a situation.
Her instincts told her that she couldn’t get out of the car! Even if she was the one who got these people here!
Her objective was to let these people destroy Yan Jinyu under her desperate protection. This way, not only would Yan Jinyu no longer have the right to fight with her, but she would also be grateful to her. She had never thought of using such a method on Yan Jinyu before. After all, it was too cruel. No matter what, Yan Jinyu was her twin sister.
She wouldn’t have done that if Yan Jinyu hadn’t made her feel so threatened.
But even so, she still hesitated on the way here until she saw the message that Master Nine had sent Yan Jinyu.
Master Nine was a big shot and to think that he would send Yan Jinyu such a simple yet warm and familiar message. It was obviously not his first time either.
A voice in her heart told her that Yan Jinyu was a huge hidden danger. With Yan Jinyu around, not to mention marrying into the Yin Family, even her status in the Yan Family would be affected.
Hence, she made up her mind.
However, Yan Jinyu’s calmness made her hesitate again.
Yan Jinyu had clearly seen the driver being kidnapped, yet she was still so calm. She even smiled and asked her if she was not going down to take a look.
It sent a shiver down her spine.
“Sis… Sis, aren’t you afraid?”
“Of course I’m scared. How can I not be? I wonder if these people are here to rob us of money or sex.”
Yan Jinyun’s hand trembled, “Then, then how did you…”
“Why don’t I look scared at all?” Seeing that she was looking at her as though she had seen a ghost, Yan Jinyu smiled, “I’m afraid but I just didn’t show it.”
“You…” Yan Jinyun moved back unconsciously, trying to distance herself from her.
“Yun’er, don’t be nervous. This isn’t the first time we’ve encountered such a thing. We were kidnapped when we were two years old, have you forgotten? We were still so young back then, and we encountered kidnappers who weren’t even afraid of killing us. Wasn’t it fine too? Compared to this, this is just a small scene…”
“Stop it! Stop it!” Yan Jinyun only realized that she had lost her composure when she saw her looking over, “Sister, I… I didn’t mean to yell at you. I don’t even remember what happened when I was young. I was scared when I suddenly encountered such a thing, so…”
“Yun’er, don’t be afraid. We left the Yan Family together. If anything happens to you, I will definitely be in trouble so I will protect you.”
Yan Jinyun was slightly stunned. She felt that Yan Jinyu was not only frightening but also very annoying.
Why would she say that he would protect her when she was in such a situation? Was she a saint?
Even though Yan Jinyu’s original intention was that if something really happened to her, she would definitely be in a lot of trouble. It sounded like she was only trying to reduce the trouble for herself.
She still said such words under such circumstances. Was she a saint?
Of course not.
She was very clear that Yan Jinyun had engaged these people.

She only said those words because she wanted to use a trick.
She wouldn’t really do anything to The Yan Family if they didn’t cross her bottom line. But since that was no longer the case, she had to do something to prevent Yan Jinyun from doing something similar to trouble her in the future.

However, honestly speaking, Yan Jinyu had seen all of Yan Jinyun’s hesitation on the way here. She had also unintentionally said that she would get a stomachache if she drank too much yogurt.
Before that, the only people who would say those words of concern to her were the three people who had gone through grave dangers with her. And Yan Jinyun’s concern for her was also different from the concern for those three people.
She could not tell exactly what the difference was, but she was sure of one thing. At that moment, she felt touched.
Putting aside the fact that she knew that these people were hired by Yan Jinyun, because of Yan Jinyun’s words of concern, Yan Jinyu’s earlier words of protecting her were true.
“D-do you know how to drive?” Yan Jinyun asked after a while.
Yan Jinyu spun the phone in her hand. “If I know how to drive, do you want me to drive the car away and leave your chauffeur here?”
“I… The driver is a man. These people are just after some money. They won’t do anything to him. You… We’re different. We’re girls. We’ll be at a huge disadvantage if something like this happens.”
“Oh? Can’t they be thinking about murder too?”

“They wouldn’t dare! I… No, I mean, although there are no surveillance cameras in this alley, there are cameras at the entrance of the alley. If they really harm or kill him here, it won’t be beneficial to them, so… so the driver will be fine.”
“I see. But it seems a bit of a pity. You probably know what kind of life I used to have. Do you think I could drive before I turned 18?”
Yan Jinyun was stunned. It was only then that she realized that it was difficult for Yan Jinyu to even support herself in the past so how could she learn to drive when she was not even 18 years old yet?
But why did she ask that question just now?
Perhaps, it was because Yan Jinyu was still so calm even after encountering such a situation? It made her subconsciously have the illusion that Yan Jinyu was omnipotent?
Yan Jinyun broke out in cold sweat.
Did she subconsciously admit that Yan Jinyu was better than her?
How could she have such thoughts!
“I-I only know a little,” Yan Jinyun wanted to slap herself when she said that.
She wanted to ruin Yan Jinyu, but what was she doing now?
Was she touched just because Yan Jinyu said that she would protect her?

How was that possible!
