Chapter 542: Not Affecting Her Anymore
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Tsk, you’re from a big family after all. Why are you so impulsive? It’s been a while since we last met at Qin Xuan’s birthday party. From the looks of it, you must have been planning since that day.”
“Why? After planning for so long, you haven’t even investigated my background?”
Huo Siyu looked at Murong Xi, who was lying on the ground and unable to move, and said mockingly, “In the capital, any influential family’s descendants know that I, Huo Siyu, have some skills. You’re actually inferior to them?”
She was referring to her actions at the Min Family’s banquet. Almost all the famous families in the capital had heard of this matter.
The younger generation might have never heard of it, but the elders in the family would have also warned them.
Murong Xi was very indignant and gritted her teeth in anger.
She had made preparations. Of course, she had heard that Huo Siyu had some skills.
Even if she had never heard of it, she had also seen Huo Siyu attack Murong Huan at Qin Xuan’s house that day. Her skills were obviously better than ordinary people.
Although she still thought that Huo Siyu was a dilettantish person.
She did not expect Huo Siyu to be so formidable!
“Also, even if I’m not skilled enough to protect myself, are you serious about choosing this place to attack me? Mei Feng Bar, even if there are no surveillance cameras in this private room, there are surveillance cameras everywhere when you come up from the door of the bar. Be it the entrance, the hall, the elevator, and the stairs. If anything happens to me here, do you think you won’t be found out?”
Murong Xi didn’t say anything.
Of course, she had considered that!
She had originally planned to delete the surveillance cameras after settling Huo Siyu and frame Mei Feng Bar.
She had heard that the lady boss of Mei Feng Bar was a ruthless character. She often didn’t give face to the descendants of influential families in the capital and often taught them a lesson.
Then, as long as she deleted the video and framed Mei Feng Bar, Huo Siyu’s accident here would have nothing to do with her.
They would definitely not find out about her!
Seeing that she was glaring at her like a demon and not saying a word, Huo Siyu smiled. “Are you thinking that as long as you delete the surveillance cameras and frame Mei Feng Bar, everything will be fine?”
Murong Xi’s eyes widened.
“Are you very curious how I guessed your plan? Murong Xi, your skills are too shallow. With you like this, I’m really curious how you survived in the Bruce Family until now?”
“What do you think Mei Feng Bar is? Do you think you can delete the surveillance cameras just because you want to? Didn’t you investigate who the boss of Mei Feng Bar was before you attacked?”
She did. The lady boss was a very formidable woman.
She was a woman whom many descendants of influential families in the capital had been taught a lesson by.
“Tsk, I don’t even know what to say about you. It’s understandable that you can’t find out my background, but in the capital, you can’t even find out who the boss of Mei Feng Bar is. That’s too useless.”
“The boss of Mei Feng Bar is the girlfriend of the current head of the Min Family. Of course, she’s also my good friend.”
Murong Xi’s eyes almost popped out.
“This is impossible! Impossible!”
“Don’t I know better than you whether it’s possible or not? Actually, I can also think of why you chose to attack me at Mei Feng Bar. It’s because Mei Feng Bar is always chaotic. If something happens to me here, it’s easy to find a scapegoat.”
“But you’re underestimating your enemy too much. Did you just say that you’re one of the successors nurtured by the Bruce Family?”
“If the heirs of the Bruce Family are all at your level, it’s completely reasonable for your Bruce Family to be destroyed and replaced by the Jones Family.”
Not to mention Lind Jones of the Jones Family, even Bo Lang’s skills were far beyond Murong Xi’s.
“Do you know what big taboo you’ve committed?”
“You underestimate your opponent! You attacked without understanding your opponent. You’re arrogant! You think that everything is within your calculations. There’s no need to investigate my background and Mei Feng Bar’s background before making a move.”
“Taking a step back, even if I don’t have the ability to protect myself, even if the boss of Mei Feng Bar doesn’t know me, even if Mei Feng Bar is just an ordinary bar, you can successfully get rid of me today and even delete the surveillance cameras and frame Mei Feng Bar. It’s definitely impossible for you to escape.”
“Could it be that you think that the saying that the Huo Family in South City is as famous as the three top families in the capital is just an exaggeration? My brother, Huo Xuan, took over the Huo Corporation at such a young age and had complete control. Do you think that if I really got killed, my brother wouldn’t have the ability to find the real culprit?”
These words completely sent Murong Xi to the bottom.
She had heard of the Huo Family in South City and the head of the Huo Family, Huo Xuan.
It was indeed not easy to fool him.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Huo Siyu was very satisfied and continued to add, “Not to mention that you can’t even beat me.”
“Oh, it’s not accurate to say that I can’t beat you. You’re in my hands now. You can’t even withstand two moves from me.”
Murong Xi almost fainted from anger.
She could not even withstand two moves from Huo Siyu. In her opinion, nothing was more embarrassing than this!
She looked up and stared at Huo Siyu. “Who… are you?”
“Who am I?” She sneered. “Ha, you’re not qualified to know!”
“Now, it’s my turn to ask you. You better answer truthfully. Otherwise…” Huo Siyu waved the lancet in her hand.
With her lazy posture, Huo Siyu looked like she could stab the lancet at her at any time. That made Murong Xi’s eyelids twitch.
“How did you know that I can’t contact Qin Hao now?”
Murong Xi gritted her teeth but didn’t say anything.
Huo Siyu sneered, “You’re not saying?”
The lancet in her hand flew out and pierced through Murong Xi’s hand that was on the ground. It pierced through the back of Murong Xi’s hand and pinned her to the ground!
Ah—
In an instant, a scream echoed throughout the private room.
Fortunately, the soundproofing in the private room was good enough that they could not be heard outside.
A lancet flew out. Huo Siyu suddenly had another one in her hand.
She casually held it between her fingers and spun it around.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Murong Xi couldn’t even care about the pain in her hand and hurriedly shouted.
“Then tell me quickly. My patience is limited. It’s best to tell the truth. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have the patience to hear you say it a second time.”
Murong Xi was indignant. She hated her!
She had wanted to escape the Bruce Family and come to the capital to find a backer, but the backer she had taken a fancy to was someone else. This way, clearing the obstacles was something she had to do. This was also why Murong Huan was useful!
Who knew that Murong Huan was too stupid? It was fine if she couldn’t help her, but she even implicated her. She didn’t even have the chance to get close to Qin Hao!
She even made her leave a bad impression in front of Qin Hao!
“No, no… I’ll definitely tell the truth!”
“I-It’s like this. I-I’m the daughter of the Bruce Family after all. I also know a few people. The information was given by someone. They said that Young Master Qin is out on a mission and nobody could contact him for two days…”
So, that was the reason.
Huo Siyu finally understood after hearing that.
She stared at Murong Xi for a few seconds and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she didn’t lie.
As long as there was no traitor beside Qin Hao.
As for the news of Qin Hao going out to carry out a mission, although it was a secret, it still couldn’t be hidden from some big shots. Furthermore, Qin Hao only needed two days to carry out the current mission.
It was not a big mission.
Since it was not a big mission, it was not strange that people knew that Qin Hao had gone to carry out his mission and could not be contacted for the time being.
“If you have connections, why don’t you use them against me? Look at how angry you look like you want to kill me. Wouldn’t the chances of winning be higher if you find a few more people to help you?”
Murong Xi glared at her, and her eyes were about to pop out again.
Did she think that she had never thought of looking for help?
Who would dare to help her after knowing Huo Siyu’s identity?
That group of cowards ignored her because they were afraid of offending Qin Hao and Huo Xuan. If it wasn’t for the fact that one of them owed her a favor, she probably wouldn’t even know that Qin Hao was on a mission!
“From your expression, are they afraid to help you? Am I right?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The people you’re friends with all know that they won’t have a good ending if they offend me. The heir of the Bruce Family, how can you not even understand such a simple logic?”
“How naive!”
“You don’t have to say sarcastic words here. Now that I’m in your hands, I don’t have any room to resist. You might not let me off either. If you want to kill or torture me, do as you please!”
Huo Siyu looked at her in surprise. “You’re quite self-aware about this. Mmm, you still have some backbone.”
As Huo Siyu spoke, Murong Xi’s uninjured hand reached her waist and she took out something and aimed it at Huo Siyu. “Go to hell!”
It was an exquisite gun and a bullet flew out.
Murong Xi thought that Huo Siyu would be frightened and let go of her.
What she saw was a frightening scene.
She saw Huo Siyu’s expression turn cold and she sneered softly. She did not see what she was doing, but she saw that the small lancet in her hand had blocked the bullet!
S-she blocked the bullet?!
Could an ordinary person do that?
Murong Xi was shocked. Before she could recover, she saw the lancet in Huo Siyu’s hand slip out and slide across her wrists. The gun fell to the ground.
Blood flowed out.
Both her hands were almost crippled.
Murong Xi couldn’t care about the pain. She looked at Huo Siyu in a daze. “Y-you’re actually…”
One lancet was hard to tell, and so were two lancets.
However, with Huo Siyu’s inhuman ability to block the bullets and the two iconic lancets, Murong Xi had a guess about Huo Siyu’s identity.
There were two lancets, and Huo Siyu had one more in her hand now.
Three!
Wasn’t the signature weapon of number four killer, “Liang”, on the Assassin Ranking three lancets?!
Unfortunately, before she could think further, the door of the private room was pushed open.
Xi Fengling walked in.
“Yo, what are you doing?”
“Sister Fengling, someone wants to harm me in your territory. Do you think she’s stupid?”
Xi Fengling glanced at the person who was stepped on the ground by Huo Siyu. Her hands were bloody. She raised her eyebrows. “She’s indeed quite stupid.”
***
After the memory ended, Xi Fengling roughly understood the situation.
She glanced at Murong Xi, who was kneeling on the ground and being restrained by Huo Siyu. She felt that she was extremely stupid.
“Miss Bruce, your actions are really indescribable. If you hadn’t come to find trouble and disappeared obediently, Little Rain and Beauty Yu might have forgotten that you existed. You insisted on making your presence known…”
“Tsk.”
“Not only do you want Little Rain’s man and attack Little Rain, but you even dare to touch Beauty Yu’s cousin. You’re really bold!”
Seeing that Murong Xi looked extremely regretful and pitiful, Xi Fengling didn’t have any sympathy. She couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time with her, so she said to Huo Siyu, “Little Rain, contact Bo Lang and ask him to speed up the process and completely make the Bruce Family disappear from this world!”
“As for this daughter of the Bruce Family, I’ll get someone to bring her to the basement.”
These words decided Murong Xi’s fate.
She only stopped breathing after a week.
Of course, that all happened later.
***
After Yan Jinyu sent Feng Qin to Xi Fengling’s villa at Jinghua, she drove to the address Qin Jianjia had sent her.
The place where the two families arranged to eat together.
On the way, Yu Xiao looked at Yan Jinyu from time to time. His expression kept changing.
“Why are you staring at me? If you have anything to say, just ask if you want to.”
Yu Xiao quickly shook his head. He wanted to say that he had nothing to ask, but he stopped himself.
He did have a lot to ask.
However, he did not know where to start.
After a long while, he deliberated and said, “E-eldest Cousin, did you really… grow up in an orphanage in the past?”
Yan Jinyu didn’t answer him directly. She held the steering wheel and asked with a smile, “What do you think?”
Of course, he didn’t think so.
And he was sure she didn’t.
He was just curious…
What was the point of pursuing the matter?
Could he change her cousin’s past?
He couldn’t.
Forget it, he wouldn’t ask anymore.
It was good now.
However, he still couldn’t help but want to know something. “Elder Cousin, have you been well all these years?”
Yan Jinyu didn’t stop at all. “I am.”
“Look at my skin and look. Do I look like I’m not doing well?”
Yu Xiao looked at her and then shook his head.
She didn’t look like it.
She looked soft and tender.
She didn’t look like she had suffered at all.
However, he also knew that with her skills, it was impossible for her to not have suffered.
Yan Jinyu no longer felt much when she thought about the past now.
She was not someone who would be conflicted about her past, especially after many things that she did not know in the past were now resolved.
Although there were still many things that could affect her emotions now, there were not too many.
Coincidentally, her past experiences were no longer one of them.
Yu Xiao felt complicated.
The two of them arrived at the agreed place.
When they arrived, Qin Jianjia, Yan Ruyu, and the others had already arrived.
Of course, the Yin Family members who were waiting at the agreed place had also arrived, including Old Master Yin.
However, not everyone was here. Yin Jiujin wasn’t here, Feng Yun’s family wasn’t here, and Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan’s family weren’t either.
They had not gotten off the plane at this time yet.
They didn’t let Yan Jinyu pick them up. The Feng Family arranged for a car to pick them up at the airport.
They said they would come over themself.
The venue was not an ordinary restaurant, but a vintage restaurant. It was Old Madam Yin’s business and was now in Yin Yuhan’s hands.
It was the first time the two families met for a meal. The restaurant was not open for business today. It only served them.
Hence, even if they were sitting in the hall and not in a private room, no one would disturb them.
However, they still chose the best private room.
Old Master Yin was drinking tea when the sound of the zither came from behind the screen.
Yin Wuzhan sat at the side and played chess with Yu Wen. Yan Ruyu and Min Qinglan were chatting softly. Qin Jianjia and Yin Yuhan didn’t say anything and listened to the zither quietly.
When the waiter brought Yan Jinyu and Yu Xiao in, they saw such a quiet and leisurely scene.
