Chapter 107 - The Bat Landed On Him
Chapter 107: The Bat Landed On Him
Yan Jinyu’s gaze turned to her. Her gaze was not as sharp as when she was looking at Luo Yilin just now. It was obviously much gentler. “Are you frightened?”
Yan Jinyun shook her head and then nodded again.
“After being schemed against like this, you know what to do, right?” Yan Jinyu asked.
Yan Jinyun’s eyes turned sharp as she looked at Luo Yilin. “Remove the Luo Family from North City completely and eliminate all future troubles! I’ve never been soft-hearted towards my enemies.”
“It’s right to be ruthless to the enemy, but the Luo Family doesn’t have to be removed from North City.”
“Firstly, Aunt is a member of the Luo Family. Due to the fact that Cousin Feng Yuan is protecting you now, you can’t make Aunt lose her backing even though Aunt doesn’t have a good relationship with the Luo Family. Secondly, the eldest daughter of the Luo Family, Luo Qiu, is your good friend. Your good friend will be sad if the Luo Family is gone, and you might not feel good either. Your friendship might even be destroyed because of this. This shouldn’t be what you want to see…”
“Luo Qiu isn’t my good friend,” Yan Jinyun interrupted her. She looked at Feng Yuan, who had a complicated expression on his face, “She’s Feng Yuan’s cousin. She has a good relationship with Feng Yuan. Moreover, we’re in the same circle, so it’s inevitable that we’ll have more contact.”
“Alright, whatever you say.”
“However, Yun’er, putting the above two points aside, it’s impossible for the Yan Family to be the most influential family in North City.”
In North City, the Luo Family’s status was second only to the Yan Family.
Although the Luo Family’s status was not as high as the Yan Family, to a certain extent, it still had a certain level of checks and balances against the Yan Family.
The Yan Family was the number one family in North City, but there were many high society families in North City. It was impossible for the Yan Family to be dominant in North City.
Without the Luo Family’s relative balance, the various families would probably be more afraid of the Yan Family and think about their own interests. They might even join forces to deal with the Yan Family.
“Rather than causing more trouble, it’s better to keep the Luo Family alive. You just have to let them fall into the hands of someone who won’t harm you.”
“Of course, you can’t trust others too much either. As the saying goes, one has to be vigilant against others. It’s just that based on the situation of you having just taken over the Yan Corporation, it’s not suitable for you to make a move on the Luo Family. If you really want to touch the Luo Family, at least after you can completely stabilize the Yan Corporation.”
“Now, what you need to do is to stop the Luo Family from being your enemy’s backer. The death of Luo Wanhong’s first wife, Yu Yao, was not an accident. It was Zhang Mei, the current mistress of the Luo Family, who had meddled in Yu Yao’s surgery while she was giving birth to her child. The child that Yu Yao gave birth to back then was Luo Qiu.”
Yan Jinyu glanced at Luo Yilin, who was staring at her in disbelief with wide eyes. She smiled and continued, “Oh, I forgot. Back then, Yu Yao gave birth to Luo Qiu overseas. No one out there even knew that Yu Yao had given birth before. They all thought that Luo Qiu was Zhang Mei’s biological daughter.”
Yan Jinyu casually revealed the secret of the Luo Family that few people knew.
As for her objectives.
Firstly, she wanted to tell Yan Jinyun that Luo Qiu could be roped in. If Luo Qiu knew the truth back then, she wouldn’t side with Luo Yilin at all.
Secondly, it was to scare Luo Yilin so that he understood that she even knew the secret that the Luo Family thought no one knew. She would know how difficult it was to provoke her and let Luo Yilin know that he had to pay the price for plotting against the person she was protecting.
The price he had to pay was that his inheritance rights were about to be snatched away. His sister, whom had respected him so much, would become his enemy from then on. All of this could be done with just a few words from her.
“W-What nonsense are you talking about?! Little Qiu is my biological sister, my mother’s biological daughter. Don’t try to drive a wedge between us here!”
“Sowing discord?” Yan Jinyu sneered, “Do you think it’s necessary?”
“I’m just telling Yun’er that Luo Qiu could be our partner. Anyway, Luo Qiu and Yun’er have a good relationship.”
“On the other hand, Young Master Luo, don’t you think you’re being too careless by still caring if I’m trying to drive a wedge between you and your loved ones? Shouldn’t you be most worried about your safety now?”
Luo Yilin felt inexplicably numb when he met her eyes.
However, Yan Jinyu had already moved her gaze away and looked at Yan Jinyun, who was shocked by the Luo Family’s secrets. “Your considerations are still too obvious. You’ll be at a disadvantage easily. Didn’t I say that since you’re an adult, you have to think twice before you act?”
Yan Jinyun slowly retracted the shock in her heart and felt a little ashamed.
She was only concerned about her anger just now and didn’t consider so much at all. She only wanted to teach Luo Yilin a painful lesson, but she had forgotten the current situation of the Yan Corporation and what kind of trouble the Yan Family would face if the Luo Family was gone.
If Yan Jinyu hadn’t told her so much now, she would probably have started to deal with the Luo Family as soon as she left safely.
Yan Jinyun’s gaze landed on Yan Jinyu again.
Was the difference between her and Yan Jinyu really that big?
Putting aside how Yan Jinyu even knew the secret of the Luo Family that no one had ever mentioned before, just the fact that Yan Jinyu could consider so much at once was something that she couldn’t compare to at all.
And Luo Qiu…
Luo Qiu had always liked Zhang Mei as her mother and respected Luo Yilin, her older brother, the most. If she knew the truth back then, she wondered if she would be able to withstand such a blow.
“I understand. I won’t make such a low-level mistake again in the future. I won’t let my anger get to my head and make me act rashly.”
Looking at Yan Jinyu, she bit her lip and said, “Thank you.”
Yan Jinyu smiled in satisfaction and turned to Luo Yilin. Her smile didn’t disappear, but it made his hair stand on end.
“Young Master Luo hasn’t answered me yet. Who did you say is yours?”
“Don’t glare at me. You can’t scare me. You don’t have to look at these hired thugs. Do you think these few people can do anything to me since I’ve already appeared here successfully? Oh, I forgot to tell Young Master Luo that the five people at the start of the alley are all lying on the ground now.”
Luo Yilin looked frightened. “You… You… No! That’s impossible!” Meeting Yan Jinyu’s smiling but cold eyes, Luo Yilin couldn’t help but take a few steps back. He hurriedly shouted at the few tattooed men, “What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and catch her!”
Ever since he saw Yan Jinyu appear here in such a strange manner, he felt it was very creepy.
Indeed, Yan Jinyu’s next words confirmed his guess.
Other than his parents and him, everyone who knew about the Luo Family back then had been dealt with. Even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn’t. However, Yan Jinyu actually knew about!
Also, Yan Jinyu could actually make him lose the Luo Family’s inheritance rights with only a few words! She could even make Luo Qiu completely fall out with him!
These people were hired by Luo Yilin, so they naturally listened to his orders. After all, they were paid.
Hence, even though they felt very strange when they saw Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu appear, they still rushed forward and surrounded Yan Jinyu.
Huo Siyu retreated to the side without a trace. She approached Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan and protected them secretly, not letting those people have the chance to use them as hostages to threaten Yan Jinyu.
Being surrounded by 15 people, Feng Yuan didn’t even care about the shock he felt from seeing Yan Jinyu and hearing her words just now. He wanted to rush over, but he was stopped by Huo Siyu, “You better not drag Beauty Yu down.”
“Sister can handle it,” Yan Jinyun said.
Others couldn’t tell, but Feng Yuan, who knew Yan Jinyun well, could hear a hint of pride in her tone.
He was even more shocked.
He was shocked that Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun seemed to have a better relationship than he had imagined. He was even more shocked that Yan Jinyu could actually deal with 15 burly men who looked to be quite skilled alone!
Feng Yuan was already surprised, but the next second, the scene in front of him almost made his jaw drop.
Yan Jinyu spun around a few times, and those burly men were sent flying before they could even get close to her!
Yes, they were sent flying!
Bang! Bang! Bang! It was like playing baseball.
Luo Yilin was shocked and turned to flee.
How could Yan Jinyu give him the chance to slip away? With a flying roundhouse kick, he was directly sent flying. He hit the high wall of the dark alley and landed heavily.
Yan Jinyu stepped on Luo Yilin’s heart and gently tapped his chin with the baseball bat. She looked down at him, “You even dare to touch the person I’m protecting. You’re very brave.”
Seeing the blood at the corner of his lips, she said, “I thought you were very capable for daring to have thoughts that you shouldn’t have. I didn’t expect you to be so weak. You vomited blood after just one kick.”
“…” The three onlookers. You didn’t just kick him. You sent him flying and hit the wall before he landed heavily.
“Very few people dare to touch the people I’m protecting. It doesn’t seem to be enough to make you vomit blood and make the Luo Family stop being your backer. Hence, you’ll get another beating.”
As she spoke, the baseball bat landed on him.
His screams echoed through the dark alley.
The three onlookers, including Huo Siyu, were shocked.
