Chapter 492: Why Didn’t He Kill Him?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although it was a question, her tone was very firm.

Xi Mao looked at her and thought to himself, She’s indeed so capable at such a young age. She can force Liu Guang to his current state.

Her perception alone was not something an ordinary person could compare to.

She already knew so much before he even said anything.

Whether she had found out or guessed it, it was enough to show that she was not simple.

“I do know where he was moved.”

“Liu Guang’s other base. It is like Ghost Slaughter Island, but it’s smaller than Ghost Slaughter Island, right?” Yan Jinyu said calmly.

“Y-you found that out or you guessed it?”

“I guessed, but judging from your reaction, I should have guessed correctly.”

She guessed that Liu Guang had another base because of Feng Yun and Hei Yao’s reactions at the Yu Family that night.

They all wanted to protect Liu Guang.

Although they had never contacted each other since Feng Yun left with Liu Guang, Yan Jinyu still believed Feng Yun. After all, Yin Jiujin trusted him.

It was undeniable that part of the reason why Feng Yun protected Liu Guang was Yin Xiaoxiao, but it was definitely not a decisive factor.

Furthermore, Hei Yao had also protected Liu Guang.

In the past, she thought that Hei Yao had betrayed her and was completely on Liu Guang’s side. Now...

She didn’t know what Hei Yao wanted to do.

However, she was already certain that there was another reason for Hei Yao’s betrayal.

Although she still cared about the betrayal and might never be able to forgive him, it did not affect her judgment.

Since there was something else, Hei Yao was not really on Liu Guang’s side.

He wasn’t really on Liu Guang’s side, but he still protected Liu Guang at such a critical moment. She had a guess—Hei Yao didn’t know where Liu Guang’s other base was either.

Of course, this guess was based more on her intuition.

As for how she could judge that Liu Guang’s other base was not as big as Ghost Slaughter Island, it was naturally because of Liu Guang’s sorry state during this period of time.

With Liu Guang’s personality, how could he be so miserable if he still had his previous strength?

Furthermore, he would not retreat with every step she took. Instead, he would choose to fight her head-on.

Liu Guang was doing this because he wasn’t confident that he could beat her.

If there was another Ghost Slaughter Island, Liu Guang would definitely not be like this.

“Do you know the location of Liu Guang’s base?”

“Yes, I know.” Xi Mao didn’t deny it either.

“Speaking of which, I was in charge of that base back then. However, later on, Liu Guang sent people to kill me because he was wary of me. I was ambushed and seriously injured. I met Ling’er’s mother and gradually got tired of this life of killing. I wanted to stay away, so the power slowly fell into Liu Guang’s hands...”

“I didn’t care much about that, but I didn’t expect Liu Guang to find out that I was still alive and send people to hunt me down. That’s why I had no choice but to send Ling’er to...” He choked up and didn’t dare to look at Xi Fengling.

After a long while, he slowly looked up at Xi Fengling with a guilty expression. “...to the orphanage.”

“After that, I dealt with Liu Guang for a few years before slowly stabilizing. Then, we have Ling’er’s sister, Qin’er.”

“At that time, I planned to go to the orphanage to bring Ling’er back, but I didn’t find Ling’er. I investigated and found out that Ling’er might have been taken away by Ghost Slaughter Island...” action

Xi Mao paused at that.

Yan Jinyu saw that he was agitated and continued, “So, you went to Ghost Slaughter Island to look for Liu Guang. You wanted to confirm if Meimei was taken away by Ghost Slaughter Island, but you were defeated by Liu Guang in the end.”

Xi Mao nodded with difficulty. “Yes.”

“I couldn’t even confirm if Ling’er is on Ghost Slaughter Island. All these years, I’ve been thinking about this matter and I was worried about Ling’er’s mother and Qin’er. That’s why I survived until now.”

Hearing him say this, Xi Fengling pursed her lips tightly, feeling very uncomfortable.

Yan Jinyu was sharp. She glanced at her.

She didn’t stay on this question anymore. “That Liu Guang didn’t kill you for so many years because you held something in your hand that he was afraid of. You made him not kill you even though he knew that keeping you alive would be a hidden danger?”

“You’re indeed very smart.”

“Since Liu Guang’s current base was controlled by me back then, I naturally have my own trusted aides. They’re still used by Liu Guang until now because I’m trapped by Liu Guang. They must have cared about my safety and had no choice but to listen to Liu Guang.”

“Liu Guang doesn’t dare to kill me because once he kills me, those people won’t be used by him anymore. They will even take revenge for me.”

At this point, Xi Mao suddenly felt a little down.

He blamed himself.

Back then, he was tired of killing and wanted to live an ordinary life. The people under him had also found him.

They were very supportive of his decision.

They were thinking for him, but he had never thought for them.

They had to listen to Liu Guang after he left.

Although Ghost Slaughter was a place where ability was the only thing that mattered, as long as they had enough ability, they would not suffer too much even under Liu Guang.

In fact, that was indeed the case. They were doing very well.

As long as they completed their mission, their lives would be safe.

However, he did not expect that they were almost implicated by him in the end.

When he ended up on Ghost Slaughter Island again, those people were here to help him.

Later on, after knowing that he was in Liu Guang’s hands, in order to protect his life, they had no choice but to be completely used by Liu Guang.

When Yan Jinyu heard this, she naturally realized the change in his mood.

However, she did not ask further.

She could roughly guess what happened.

She did not expect that Liu Guang’s remaining power was not completely controlled by him.

She narrowed her eyes.

She couldn’t help but feel happier.

This way, it was much easier to deal with Liu Guang.

Liu Guang would be the pain in her neck for as long as she didn’t completely settle him. It would be better for her to quickly settle Liu Guang, so that she could lead her carefree life.

“I see.”

“I wonder if you can tell me where that base is?”

***

After coming out of Xi Mao’s room, Yan Jinyu already knew what she wanted to know.

Xi Mao fell asleep.

Min Rufeng left with Xi Fengling. Xi Fengling was ready to go back to pack her things and move to Mount West Villa to stay for some time.

Of course, Yan Jinyu had no objections to this.

Yin Jiujin let Yan Jinyu take charge, so he naturally had no objections either.

As for Huo Xuan, since he was here to look for Min Rufeng for a follow-up, he naturally didn’t stay at the Mount West Villa for long.

After Min Rufeng checked his pulse and prescribed two more doses of medicine, he instructed Huo Xuan to come so he could perform acupuncture on him in a few days. Min Rufeng said that it was best for him to stay in the capital for the time being because he had developed a new method and he could help him try it out to see the effect.

This suited Huo Xuan perfectly.

Even if it wasn’t for his health, he would also stay in the capital.

Given the current situation, he could not be at ease even if he returned to South City.

Perhaps he could help by staying here.

That Friday, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin returned to the Yin Family together.

They were back to see Qin Jianjia.

As soon as they entered, Qin Jianjia welcomed them warmly, “Yu’er, Jin’er, you guys are finally back. How long has it been since you came back?”

Yan Jinyu smiled, “Not too long ago. Didn’t we just come back not long ago?”

Qin Jianjia glanced at her. “How long ago was that?”

“Let’s go in first.”

The few of them walked to the living room and sat down.

Old Master was in the study room, and only Qin Jianjia and Min Qinglan were in the living room.

As soon as she sat down, Yan Jinyu sized Qin Jianjia up. “Sister-in-law, how have you been recently? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Qin Jianjia was taken aback.

Did they know that she was pregnant?

That couldn’t be. If they knew, how could they not mention it?

Perhaps Yu’er was just asking casually.

She actually wanted to tell them the good news, but she was afraid of distracting them, so she didn’t say it.

Anyway, Yin Yuhan said that he was worried that Liu Guang would harm them and asked her and her mother-in-law to stay at home and not go out. They wouldn’t be in any danger either.

She would tell them about this later.
