Chapter 82: Let’s Invite Them Over As Guests

“…Fortunately, Master Nine and Third Young Master Min have already left the private room. Otherwise, if the two of you encountered such a thing in the private room, I would have committed a huge sin.”

He didn’t dare to meet Yin Jiujin’s gaze and tried his best to avoid it. He put on a respectful and somewhat frightened posture. “Although the two of you are fine, your mood has been ruined because of this. To apologize, your expenses tonight are on me.”

​ 

“Of course, I also know that the two of you aren’t people who lack money, but I still have to be thick-skinned and ask the two of you not to decline. Otherwise, I won’t be able to survive in North City in the future.” After saying that, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

The cold sweat wasn’t feigned. Few people could remain calm under Yin Jiujin’s unfathomable gaze.

Yin Jiujin naturally didn’t respond. He walked towards the messy private room.

He was obviously a very particular person, but he calmly walked into the dusty private room as if the dust did not exist.

He could adapt to harsh environments, but he could also live in extremely exquisite environments. This was Yin Jiujin.

Since Yin Jiujin wanted to enter the private room, Zhao Kun naturally didn’t dare to stop him. Since the person in charge of the club didn’t say anything, the few service staff standing by the side naturally fell silent.

Although there was still dust caused by the collapse of the wall in the private room, it was possible to see what was in the room. The lights in the private room were switched on, and Yin Jiujin could see the collapsed wall clearly.

More than half of the wall had collapsed, and it did look like it was caused by a renovation company’s stint.

However, Yin Jiujin, Min Ting, and Lin Zimu, who had heard the commotion upstairs, didn’t think so.

Yin Jiujin’s gaze didn’t stay on the collapsed wall for long. Instead, he scanned his surroundings and finally turned back to look at the door.

In the entire private room, the only place they could hide and he would neglect, was the door. More accurately, behind the door.

Seeing that he was staring at the door, Min Ting asked, “Second Brother, what’s wrong with this door?” Seeing Yin Jiujin walk over and push the door open, he instantly understood.

Second Brother wanted to check behind the door.

So, that person was hiding behind the door?

At such a close distance, she could actually make Second Brother—who had sharp senses—not notice her breathing. This person was quite capable!

Since when was there such a formidable person in North City?

Yin Jiujin didn’t say a word. His gaze landed on the aluminum door, which seemed to have been cut by something sharp.

The crack was very small. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it.

At that time, that person was standing behind the door. To be able to avoid his detection, her feet must have not touched the ground directly. Then, she must have taken something and inserted it into the door, using it to stabilize her body and stick close to the door.

Although the door was made of aluminum alloy, it was much stiffer than an ordinary aluminum door. It was not something that could be easily cut open with a dagger.

The object in that person’s hand must be extremely sharp. For that person to be able to embed it into the door in such a short period of time without making any sound, it must be an extremely skilled object.

Or rather, a weapon.

If it were anyone else, they might not have thought so much because of the inconspicuous crack behind the door. However, this person was Yin Jiujin. His experience and knowledge were extraordinary. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to possess his current status at such a young age.

One had to know that others respected and feared him not because he was the Second Young Master of the Yin Family in the capital, but because he was him.

The infamous Master Nine, God of Slaughter in the business world.

Yin Jiujin detecting this tiny crack was something that Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu had expected. However, even Yan Jinyu hadn’t expected Yin Jiujin to connect this tiny crack to a “weapon”.

The fourth-ranked killer on the Assassin Ranking, “Liang,” had a thumb-sized lancet that was extremely sharp.

Using three lancets to kill were her symbol of murder.

Fortunately, Huo Siyu had only taken out one lancet to stabilize her body and not three. Otherwise, Yin Jiujin would definitely be able to guess her identity.

Of course, Yin Jiujin wouldn’t think of Huo Siyu for a while. However, as Huo Siyu had said, if he investigated carefully, he could still find out who the boss behind Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse was.

The fourth-ranked killer on the Assassin Ranking and the boss of a clubhouse… and she had dealt with many influential families in the capital. Moreover, she was the lover of the Second Young Master of the Min Family. They would definitely be in a lot of trouble.

At least now was not the time to reveal their identities.

Regardless of what Yin Jiujin thought about this matter, Min Ting, the Third Young Master of the Min Family, was present. Second Young Master Min’s “lover” was related to the fourth-ranked killer on the Assassin Ranking, so Min Ting would definitely be vigilant.

If Min Ting was here alone, he might not have noticed the small crack on the door. He only realized it when he saw Yin Jiujin staring at it.

He was not a fool, and he quickly understood how the crack existed.

He could not help but feel fearful.

He wanted to ask something, but after seeing Yin Jiujin’s dark and unfathomable expression, Min Ting couldn’t help but retract his words.

Don’t think that he was a coward. If it were someone else, they might not even have the courage to stand in front of this man.

Min Ting did not think that it was embarrassing for him to be afraid now.

“The surveillance control room.” Yin Jiujin raised his eyes and said calmly.

This was for Zhao Kun, who was watching him nervously as he checked the door.

Yin Jiujin suddenly looked at him, and Zhao Kun was shocked. He was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant. He hurriedly said, “Master Nine, this way please.”

Master Nine wanted to go to the surveillance room to check, of course he didn’t dare to reject him.

Fortunately, he was smart. Seeing that Master Nine was paying attention to 315, he quickly called the boss. The boss’s intention was for him to try his best to accommodate Master Nine. He would cooperate with whatever Master Nine wanted to investigate. It was fine as long as he replied that he didn’t know anything that Master Nine asked. It was also fine if Master Nine really found out anything.

The boss wasn’t afraid that Master Nine would find out her identity as the boss behind Elegant Bamboo.

After hearing what the boss said, he finally felt relieved. However, even so, he still couldn’t help but panic in front of Master Nine.

Just as Yin Jiujin had expected, there was nothing useful to be found in the surveillance control room. The surveillance videos within the past two hours had been destroyed.

The people in the surveillance control room said that the surveillance system was broken and couldn’t be fixed in time.

Zhao Kun pretended to be angry and called the person in charge of surveillance over and scold them in front of Yin Jiujin and Min Ting. He didn’t forget to sincerely apologize to the two of them repeatedly.

“Master Nine, I’m really sorry. It’s all my subordinates’ fault.”

“However, ahem… I don’t quite understand. Did Master Nine suddenly want to check the surveillance camera because you have lost something? Or are you looking for someone? If there’s anything I can help with, Master Nine can just say it.”

“Boss Zhao, why are you asking the obvious? I don’t believe you really don’t know why my second brother wants to check the surveillance cameras.” Min Ting sneered.

Zhao Kun was terrified and puzzled. “This… I really don’t know. I wonder if Third Young Master Min can give me some pointers?” He deliberately lowered his voice, looking like he was afraid that Yin Jiujin would hear him and anger him.

Min Ting snorted.

At this moment, Lin Zimu spoke. He had just gone outside to answer a call, “Boss, I’ve investigated it clearly. The private room at Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse’s Room 315 was indeed reserved by a boss with the surname Zhang tonight. That person’s name is Zhang Shan, and he’s the boss of a few chain hotels in North City. He’s considered quite famous in North City. He booked the private room with the intention of getting a few friends to celebrate his wife’s birthday. It was only because his wife wanted to spend some time alone last minute that the private room was empty.”

Everything made sense. If he didn’t have absolute faith in Yin Jiujin, Lin Zimu would have suspected that this was really an accident.

“Second Brother, how should we handle this?” Seeing the crack on the aluminum alloy door with his own eyes, Min Ting did not think it was a coincidence.

He also did not believe that Zhao Kun was the boss of this clubhouse.

“Let’s invite that Zhang couple over as ‘guests’,” Yin Jiujin said to Lin Zimu.

The word “guests” shocked Min Ting.

It had been a long time since Second Brother had made such a big move.

Even Min Ting was shocked, let alone Zhao Kun.

Even if he tried his best to remain calm, the cold sweat on his forehead still dripped down.

Lin Zimu’s expression turned serious. “Yes, Boss.”

His dark eyes swept over the trembling Zhao Kun. “Invite this Boss Zhao over too. Treat him well.”

“M-Master Nine… Master Nine, please tell me what I’ve done wrong. If I’ve disturbed Master Nine because of what happened tonight, I’ll apologize to Master Nine here. Master Nine, please be magnanimous!” He was probably really afraid. This had nothing to do with who he was and whether he was loyal or brave. He might not make it out alive if Master Nine invited him over.

There were indeed people who were not afraid of death, but it was definitely not him.

Although the boss promised she would not watch him get into trouble, what if the boss did not make it in time?

He was really afraid.

Lin Zimu was about to answer “yes” when he was interrupted by a ringtone.

Yin Jiujin’s phone in his pocket rang.

When he took it out and saw the words “Little Girl” on his phone, the sinister look in Yin Jiujin’s eyes suddenly dissipated.

The atmosphere was already heavy. At this moment, no one dared to speak. Therefore, when Yin Jiujin answered the call, the surroundings were very quiet. Only his voice could be heard in the control room.

He said, “It’s late. You haven’t slept yet?”

It was clearly a calm tone, but Min Ting, who was familiar with him, could hear the concern in it.

It was almost two in the morning.

“Not yet. Brother Nine answered the call so quickly, so you aren’t asleep either.”

Yin Jiujin didn’t say yes or no. He only asked, “Why are you calling at this time?” This was what he was concerned about.

“There’s indeed something. Brother Nine, you said that you bought me a birthday present previously. I was so happy to see you today that I forgot to ask what gift you bought for me. I kept thinking about it and couldn’t sleep.”

She was so happy to see him…

The young lady was such a sweet talker. She knew how to sweet talk.

The corners of Yin Jiujin’s lips curled up slightly. She was indeed still a child. She even lost sleep over thinking about a gift.

However, he had forgotten that the superb driving skills he had seen in the surveillance video in the private room were from his so-called “child.”

His tone was slightly doting. “I’ll send it to you tomorrow. Go to sleep now.”

“But Brother Nine, you haven’t told me what gift it is.”

And she was still acting coy…

This little girl.

“You’ll know tomorrow. Go to sleep now. Children won’t grow tall if they stay up late.”

“I told you I’m not a kid! I’m 18!”

That’s right. The young lady was already 18 years old after midnight. He didn’t even say happy birthday to the young lady immediately on this busy night.

“Yes, my 18-year-old girl. Happy birthday.”

Yan Jinyu was silent. “…Thank you, Brother Nine.”

“Why are there sounds of wind on your side? Didn’t you close the windows at night?” This question was not like the ruthless Master Nine at all.

Everyone present, including Lin Zimu, who had seen how Yin Jiujin treated Yan Jinyu, felt that way.

“…I did close them. But I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and opened the windows again.”

“It’s cold at night. Close the windows and go to sleep.”

“Brother Nine, it feels like you’re raising a child. You’re nagging me too.” After saying that, she even laughed softly.

Yin Jiujin felt that the young lady had really been spoiled by him. She even dared to tease him.

However, his smile widened when he heard her laugh.

He was not angry with her teasing. On the contrary, it felt rather good.

“By the way, Brother Nine, there’s something I forgot to tell you. I got to know someone in North City during this period of time. He helped me out a little. I owe him a favor, so I will send him an invitation tomorrow.”

The Yan Family was the number one family in North City. Everyone in North City was proud to have received an invitation to the Yan Family’s banquet. If the young lady really owed them a favor, an invitation was indeed enough to repay her.

He was more concerned about…

“How did you owe him a favor?”

“I’m not familiar with North City so I went out to explore some time ago. There was one time when I got lost when I went out. It was this person who pointed me the way and even gave me a ride to a convenient place to take a taxi.”

“Yes, you should return the favor. You did the right thing.”

He really thought he was teaching a child.

Yan Jinyu pouted but didn’t say anything. “Isn’t Brother Nine curious about who that person is?”

“Who is it?” He was not curious. It was just that since she asked, he followed along.

The little girl was talking excitedly, and he couldn’t bear to interrupt her.

“He said he was the owner of a bar or some store. I don’t remember clearly, but I remember his name and address. The invitation letter was sent according to the address. His name seems to be Zhao Kun.”

When Yin Jiujin heard this, the smile on his face faded slightly. He glanced at the trembling Zhao Kun. “Tell me, what’s his name?”

“Zhao Kun, that’s right. Brother Nine, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this person? Or do you know him?”

“It’s nothing. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. Close the windows and go to sleep. The phone’s radiation is too strong. Don’t put the phone on the bed. Good night.”

“…Goodnight, Brother Nine.”

After hanging up, Yin Jiujin looked at Zhao Kun with a deep gaze. “Did the eldest daughter of the Yan Family send you an invitation to her birthday party?”

Zhao Kun was stunned.

No!
