“Liu Junqing?” Liu Guang couldn't tell his emotions.

“Yes, it's Liu Junqing. Don't say that you don't know him. I know you know him and you're very familiar with him.”

When Yan Jinyu mentioned the words “Liu Junqing”, Qin Hao and Huo Siyu happened to come over and heard her words.

Qin Hao stopped in his tracks and looked up at Yin Jiujin.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Forget it. He sighed inwardly. So Second Yin had even told Eldest Miss Yan about this.

However, it seemed normal after thinking about it. After all, Second Yin's feelings for Eldest Miss Yan were there.

However, Liu Junqing…

“Oh, there's also someone called Yu Qingwan, an actor from the Lingering Garden in the capital. You guys even tried to use her to sow discord between Yin Jiujin and me previously. I heard that she's Liu Junqing's fiancée.”

Liu Guang was not surprised that she knew this. It was as if he had long expected her to know that they were the ones who did the Yu Qingwan incident.

However, they had never shown their faces at that time and were just casually trying their luck.

Her past experiences must have nurtured her to have a personality that didn't tolerate betrayal. Yin Jiujin was also a big shot, so he definitely had a temper. The two of them might fall out.

As long as they fell out, she would be easier to deal with without Yin Jiujin as her help.

However, he did not expect that not only did the two of them not fall out, but their relationship even became better. They even sensed their traces because of this.

“Oh, speaking of which, I haven't settled the score with you for making Yu Qingwan attempt to ruin my relationship with Yin Jiujin.”

“However, it doesn't matter how much you owe me. Sooner or later, I'll settle it with you.”

“Is that so? I'll wait for you then.”

Liu Guang didn't deny it, so Yan Jinyu could confirm one thing.

Yu Qingwan was indeed his subordinate, but Yu Qingwan didn't seem to be very important to him.

Then, there was no point in keeping Yu Qingwan around.

After this matter was settled, she would go to the capital to meet Yu Qingwan and see if she could get any useful information from her.

However, regardless of whether she could get any useful information from Yu Qingwan, she would deal with her.

It was already annoying to keep Yu Qingwan alive since she coveted Yin Jiujin. If she hadn't thought that she might be useful, why would she have kept her until now?

“Before I tell you about Liu Junqing, I have a question to ask.” This time, Liu Guang's emotions fluctuate a little when he mentioned “Liu Junqing”.

Not only Yan Jinyu, everyone present could sense his sudden gloomy aura, and his expression was very ruthless when he looked at Yan Jinyu, or rather, at Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin.

Now, Yan Jinyu was certain again.

Liu Guang didn't care about Yu Qingwan, but he cared about Liu Junqing very much.

“I refuse to answer.”

Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes at him, “Liu Guang, you have to be clear. I'm the one making the conditions now. You can choose not to agree to my conditions. At most, I'll make a move and make all of you stay. But you don't have the right to ask me questions.”

Liu Guang's face fell.

That was true, but since she had always been so disrespectful, his patience was limited.

Yan Jinyu didn't care if his expression was ugly or not. She continued, “There's no need to waste your breath. I'll give you three seconds. If you don't say what I want to know in three seconds, I'll treat it as you not agreeing to my conditions. Then, you all would have to stay.”

She glanced at Feng Yun and retracted her gaze calmly. “I'll still say the same thing. One life for a few lives. It's very worth it. I believe the person you're using as a bargaining chip will agree with my actions.”

After knowing each other for so many years, Liu Guang couldn't see through Yan Jinyu either. He didn't know what she would do next.

The phrase “do as she pleased” was probably more suitable for her.

No matter how unhappy he was or how unwilling he was, Liu Guang knew that he could only go alone with her words.

Who asked her to have all the advantages while he only had one bargaining chip?

He had lost this time. He would definitely not be so careless next time!

“If you want to know about Liu Junqing, fine, I'll tell you everything.”

“Liu Junqing is my son, my biological son. I sent him out of Ghost Slaughter Island to carry out a mission very early on. As for what the mission is, I don't think I need to say much.”

Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes. “No, you have to say that. I don't know.”

His mission was to kill Yin Jiujin. She knew that, but she still had to ask.

She didn't really want to know who Liu Junqing was and what he did. She wanted to know if Liu Junqing's mission was voluntary or forced. She wanted to untie the knot in Yin Jiujin's heart that had trapped him for many years.

Even if Yin Jiujin didn't say or show it, she knew that he cared a lot about Liu Junqing's betrayal.

Liu Guang sized her up seriously as if he wanted to judge if she really didn't know.

However, no matter how he looked at her, he could not tell anything from her face.

He was even more wary of her and wanted to kill her even more.

She was only 18 years old, but she was already so capable. If she was allowed to grow for a few more years, she would probably…

This person would become more threatening to him every day she stayed alive. He had to get rid of her as soon as possible!

Moving his gaze from Yan Jinyu's face to Yin Jiujin, Liu Guang said, “Such a outstanding person will be a huge threat in the future. I naturally have to think of a way to get rid of him.”

“However, he's quite capable and stays in the army all year round. Occasionally, he will carry out missions which are also secret missions. It's not easy to grasp his whereabouts. This way, it's the best way to get rid of him and send someone to sneak around to gain his trust before waiting for an opportunity to make a move.”

“So, you sent Liu Junqing to Brother Nine to kill him?”

It was fine as long as she pretended not to know. Since Liu Guang had already said so, if she pretended not to know, she would let the other party notice. It would be difficult to get the information she wanted.

Without waiting for Liu Guang to reply, she said, “In that case, Liu Junqing has been Brother Nine's comrade for so many years and has completely gained Brother Nine's trust. There are many chances to make a move, but why hasn't he made a move yet? Instead, he chose to make a move when there are still many comrades carrying out the mission together? Isn't this increasing the possibility of him being exposed?”

Yin Jiujin pursed his thin lips.

His sharp gaze locked onto Liu Guang.

Obviously, he wanted to know the answer too.

However, after Yan Jinyu asked this, Liu Guang didn't answer immediately. Instead, his expression darkened.

Yan Jinyu had been observing him, not missing a hint of change in his expression.

“Is it that you can't tell me, or do you not know the reason?”

Liu Guang looked up at her.

Yan Jinyu suddenly smiled. “Oh, I understand now. You sent Liu Junqing to carry out a mission, but in the end, he didn't do as you requested and didn't make a move on Brother Nine. That's why he didn't make a move even though he clearly had so many chances to complete the mission.”

“Or rather, he had no intention of accepting this mission from the beginning. What condition did you use to threaten him that he had no choice but to listen to you?”

Liu Guang's expression changed.

Yan Jinyu smiled even brighter. “From the looks of it, I should be right. Hence, it wasn't Liu Junqing's intention to sneak to Brother Nine's side and gain his trust. It wasn't his intention to kill Brother Nine either. He was forced to do it.”

“As for why he attacked in the end, he was probably forced into a hurry by you. His heart was too tormented, so he simply chose to expose himself and escape from this torture?”

Liu Guang still didn't say anything, but Yan Jinyu could still tell a lot from his subtle change in expression.

“Then what did you threaten him with?”

“His life? No, if he really escaped from the torture by exposing himself, it means that he's not afraid of death.”

“Are you threatening him with his fiancée?”

“Oh, from your expression, that should be it.”

“However, I keep feeling that Yu Qingwan doesn't seem to be important enough to make Liu Junqing suffer your threat. She did something that made him suffer, and in the end, he didn't even hesitate to escape from that torture with death.”

“It's related to Yu Qingwan, but Yu Qingwan isn't important enough. Is that because their engagement was decided by someone Liu Junqing cares about?”

“That person is Liu Junqing's mother? Liu Junqing is threatened by you not because of Yu Qingwan, the partner of this engagement, but because of the person who set this engagement?”

“Liu Junqing cares a lot about his mother, so much so that he cares about the fiancée that his mother arranged for him too?”

“Later on, he chose to expose himself when he realized that Yu Qingwan wasn't worth it?”

“However, that's not very reasonable either. He doesn't want to carry out a mission anymore, and Yu Qingwan isn't enough to be your method to restrain him. Then, he can just find an excuse to leave. Why did he choose to expose himself? He even lost his life for no reason.”

“Could it be that I'm wrong? He actually values Yu Qingwan very much, and it was entirely because of Yu Qingwan that he carried out this mission. In the end, he realized that Yu Qingwan had fallen for Brother Nine, so he abandoned his many years of friendship and attacked Brother Nine in a fit of anger?”

Yin Jiujin's expression froze.

Yu Qingwan liked him?

He couldn't remember what Yu Qingwan looked like, but he felt disgusted when he thought that she liked him. She was clearly Liu Junqing's fiancée. Why did she like him?

And Liu Junqing. If he really chose to attack him because of that woman, Yu Qingwan, then was there really a need to make him lament about such a brother for so many years?

Yes, there was no reason to like someone. Even if Yu Qingwan wasn't a good person, no one could control Liu Junqing if he wanted to like her.

However, if Liu Junqing wanted to kill that person because the person he liked had liked him, then Liu Junqing was really not a good person.

If it were him, if the person he liked, liked someone else…

Yin Jiujin paused violently and lowered his eyes to look at Yan Jinyu's side profile. He quickly rejected this thought in his heart.

No, this definitely wouldn't happen. It couldn't happen either!

After all, if Liu Junqing really blamed someone else for a woman's mistake, Liu Junqing really wasn't worth him worrying about for so many years.

Liu Guang looked at her and said, “As expected of No. 99, whom I admire. You guessed so much with just a little information!”

“You're welcome.”

“So, from the looks of it, I should have guessed most of it?”

“More than half. You've almost guessed everything.”

Since it was already like this, Liu Guang simply said, “If you want to know more, I can tell you.”

When Yan Jinyu heard that, she chuckled, “Oh? You suddenly said that because you have a condition, right?”

Without waiting for Liu Guang to speak, she said with a firm tone, “Do you want to know how Liu Junqing died? You think very highly of him. Is he the successor of Ghost Slaughter that you thought highly of back then?”
