Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Unexpected Letter (5 more)

Jin Yu had suddenly disappeared for a reason—he had been asking Jin Ruiyang to help him investigate something regarding Ye Xiangtian.

When he finally got a clue, Tiger came to inform him, and he followed Tiger in the middle of the night, taking a car to the capital overnight without having time to inform Xu Niannian.

Hearing about Ye Xiangtian’s matter, Jin Yu couldn’t sit still any longer.

Upon arriving at the headquarters in the capital the next day, Jin Yu headed straight to Jin Ruiyang’s office.

"Give me the materials," Jin Yu said as soon as he entered, completely ignoring the blushing female assistant in Jin Ruiyang’s office.

This was Jin Ruiyang’s territory. The Gatekeeper must have informed him in advance and allowed Jin Yu to enter with his permission.

Jin Ruiyang wasn’t surprised, either.

Dressed in a crisp suit and adorned with gold-rimmed glasses, Jin Ruiyang perfectly embodied the phrase "an abstinent beauty with high appeal."

A typical scholarly scoundrel, drop-dead gorgeous in appearance.

Sitting in his chair, Jin Ruiyang’s slender fingers leisurely adjusted his glasses, and he spoke gently and warmly to his subordinate, "You can go now."

"Yes, Minister..." The female assistant’s cheeks flushed upon hearing his voice, soft enough to break the rules.

Jin Ruiyang had magically turned a subordinate who could snap bones barehanded into a delicate and tender White Lotus.

After dispatching the assistant, Jin Ruiyang finally turned to Jin Yu and chuckled, "So anxious? Do you realize you’ve interrupted me wooing her?"

Jin Yu kicked the table, "The less you speak, the sooner the city will develop. Cut the crap and give me the materials."

Jin Ruiyang knew why Jin Yu was so impatient and anxious about this matter, and he didn’t delay him any further.

He took out an archive bag from the drawer and threw it in front of Jin Yu, "Here’s what you wanted."

Just as Jin Yu reached out to grab it, Jin Ruiyang pressed down on the back of his hand, and Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, "Back off, I’m not interested in men."

Jin Ruiyang chuckled softly, "Even if you were, I wouldn’t be interested. I’m just reminding you to be more cautious. Ye Xiangtian can’t be touched for now."

"Why?" Jin Yu asked, immediately thinking of something and looking at him with raised eyebrows, "Have you read all the materials?"

Jin Ruiyang nodded and did not deny it, "I know you care a lot about Ye Xiangtian’s incident and your desire for revenge. But I must remind you, if the Jin Family prospers, we all prosper; if the Jin Family suffers, we all suffer."

Hearing this, Jin Yu’s urgency subsided a bit. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, matching Jin Ruiyang’s intent, "Does it have to do with that old man?"

Jin Ruiyang smiled, knowing Jin Yu understood him and told him directly about the complications.

"The mission you were involved in was hijacked by others, wasn’t it? Out of the three Level members who went, two are dead, and one incapacitated. This case has extensive implications, and we haven’t yet caught the big fish behind Ye Xiangtian. At most, Ye Xiangtian is just a scapegoat, and even if you bring him down, it will be pointless. The real mastermind is still at large."

The two dead and one incapacitated he mentioned involved Jin Yu’s best two brothers, and the one incapacitated was himself.

Resting for half a year—isn’t that as good as being incapacitated?

Half a year later, where would he have the chance to touch this matter again?

Jin Yu fell silent for a while, tapping his fingers lightly on the archive bag. So, he had been diverted all along—it wasn’t the old man named Ye shielding his useless grandson.

It was his useless grandson who had been kicked out to serve as a human shield.

What a cunning plot.

Old Master Ye is one of the leaders of the headquarters, while Jin Yu’s power lies in Nancheng, just like his father’s.

The only one who could possibly contend with Old Master Ye would probably have to be the old gentleman himself.

But the old gentleman had long since stepped back and would not handle these messes anymore.

It seems that he would have to return to the capital if he wanted to skin those two alive.

The content of the archive bag Jin Ruiyang had obtained through his connections was considerable, all thanks to the face given to the Jin Family.

After Jin Yu went through the materials, he was so angry he nearly flipped Jin Ruiyang’s desk over.

"Damn these parasites," he cursed as he kicked Jin Ruiyang’s desk.

Jin Ruiyang remained calm, "When will you ever change that temper of yours?"

"Change my ass. I want to kill that old man right now."

"Well, go ahead," Jin Ruiyang encouraged him.

Jin Yu could certainly detect the sarcasm in Jin Ruiyang’s words and kicked his leg irritably.

Caught off guard, Jin Ruiyang winced and clutched his foot, "Do I owe you money and not pay you back?"

Jin Yu ignored his words, demanding directly, "I still have half a year before I report to you here. Find a way to shorten that time."

Jin Yu had already received transfer orders to report to the headquarters, where Jin Ruiyang was, in half a year.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ruiyang stopped rubbing his foot and sat up straight, "Really? Weren’t you the one who swore he’d never come here?"

"Cut the nonsense, can you make it happen or not?"

It wasn’t that Jin Yu wouldn’t come to this side even if it killed him; he just couldn’t bear to leave his brothers behind.

But in his current state, there was no way he could continue to stay there.

More importantly, staying there meant that he couldn’t take revenge for his innocent brothers who had been sacrificed.

Although he didn’t respond, Jin Ruiyang knew what he was thinking.

Leaning back in his chair, he suddenly asked a question out of the blue, "Are you coming over as my subordinate?"

Jin Yu glanced at him, "You wish, if not your superior, then at least your equal."

Jin Yu wasn’t joking; Organization C was divided into six departments. The headquarters might be an important department, but it couldn’t compare to the special class team Jin Yu was part of.

The special class team was the soul of Organization C. He would go to a branch because the training base for the special class team was there in Nancheng.

Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang were equals, held the same position, and being transferred here, there was no way he would become a subordinate to Jin Ruiyang.

Hearing this, Jin Ruiyang spread his hands, "Then I can’t do anything if you were transferred here as my subordinate, I might be able to help shorten the time for you. Being my superior or equal, how can I help you?"

Jin Ruiyang was speaking the truth; he could only meddle within his level or below. For those above or equal, he really couldn’t intervene.

Jin Yu also understood this principle; he was just suddenly irritated.

After hearing Jin Ruiyang’s explanation, he simply said, "What use are you?" and turned to leave.

Jin Ruiyang picked up the tea cup in his hand, wanting to throw it at the back of Jin Yu’s head, "Fuck you..."

"Minister, are you there?"

As Jin Yu opened the door, a crisp female voice came through, and a delicate-looking woman stood at the doorway.

Jin Ruiyang’s cup spun around in his hand, he put it to his lips and took a sip of air, deliberately placing the teacup down slowly, his face with a gentle smile, and his voice was warm and soft, "What can I help you with?"

With a charmingly tender smile emerging on his lips, Jin Yu glanced back and nearly vomited the sourness from his stomach.

He turned his head and walked away unceremoniously.

Meanwhile, Xu Niannian received a letter from Jingdu.

When the postman delivered the letter to her front door, Xu Niannian almost thought it was from Jin Yu.

After considering it, Jin Yu had only left four days ago, and a letter from Jingdu would take at least half a month to arrive.

Letter exchanges of the era were unbelievably slow.

"Who wrote it?" After receiving the letter, Xu Niannian looked at the name on the envelope.

At a glance, besides her name, the only other name was "Xu Qiang."

Jin Yu’s cousin.

Xu Niannian still remembered him; his impression on her was profound because his name was only one character different from Xu Zhiqiang’s.

Why would he write to her?

Xu Niannian read as she walked.

"Dear cousin-in-law, I am your future cousin Xu Qiang..."

Xu Niannian: "..."

She continued reading, "Haven’t seen you in days, missing you dearly, especially missing my Xiao Su, I wonder if my dear cousin-in-law could bestow Xiao Su to your future cousin..."

Xu Niannian felt a headache coming on, as she finally understood what the Xiao Su he was talking about at the end of the letter.

There seemed to be crows flying over her head for a moment.

Writing a letter with such flowery language, all for the sake of asking for food.

Xu Niannian was somewhat amused, truly a character.

It so happened that she had been planning to find time to go home for a visit; having been out for nearly a month, with both shop renovations and starting the business.

She’d been busy with it all for almost a month.

If she went home, the shop could only sell buttered noodles, no fried dishes.

Chen Xiaorou’s cooking skills were decent, but not yet on par with hers; she didn’t want Chen Xiaorou to ruin her reputation.

Since he had asked, she couldn’t refuse. She’d been hesitant about whether to lie low for a while before going home, but now it seemed best to go home first.

It would also be a good time to prepare some food for Xu Qiang to mail to him.

Moreover, she wanted to rest for a few days and experiment with a new dish. The butter sauce she made a few days ago had already met the requirements of the space.

The third recipe had come out, and to earn more money, she was determined to master all the secret techniques listed in the cookbook.

As for Jin Yu, who had been missing without word for four days, he could stay wherever it was cool. Madam was no longer going to entertain him.
