Yan Jinyu was stunned. She clearly didn’t show anything and even hid her emotions so well but yet he could still sense it.
Was it because of his sharp perception, or was it just because he cared about her?
“Since we’re already here, why make another trip?”
“On the other hand, Brother Nine, before we go in, can you…” She smiled.” Kiss me first? ”
Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat.
It was a heartache.
His heart ached for her.
The young lady was not someone who would ask for a kiss for no reason. At least, up until now, the young lady had never asked for a kiss from him.
If she wanted to kiss him, she would always kiss him directly.
But now…
She looked calm on the surface, but she was probably feeling terrible deep down.
She was just an 18-year-old girl. How could she be so calm?
He let go of her hand and held her face, making her look into his eyes.
“Little Yu.”
“Yes?”
“You don’t have to worry so much in front of me. You can laugh when you’re happy and cry when you’re sad. This is your privilege as my fiancée.”
Yan Jinyu suddenly couldn’t hold back the smile on her face. She wasn’t that weak. She had clearly endured so many difficulties. Why did she…
…feel like crying?
What a joke!
Ever since she had her memories, she had never cried. Now that she had skills and knowledge, there was nothing that could stop her. Yet, she actually had the urge to cry!
Before she could think further, she felt a cool sensation on her lips.
Yin Jiujin had lowered his head and kissed her.
His lips were cold, but the kiss was warm. It warmed her heart.
His kiss was very gentle, so gentle that the frustration in her heart that she had not completely felt, dissipated bit by bit. It was so gentle that for the first time since she had remembered, her eyes were wet.
Yin Jiujin wanted to take a look at this old factory. He knew that Yan Jinyu’s mood would be affected if she came here again, but he insisted on bringing her along.
Although he had changed his mind at the last minute, his determination to come here to take a look had never changed. His intention to bring Yan Jinyu along had also never changed. He only wanted to find a suitable opportunity to come over.
He knew that Yan Jinyu would remember those bad experiences back then, but he didn’t change his mind about bringing her here. There were three reasons.
Firstly, he wanted to see the place where she was in trouble back then with his own eyes.
Secondly, he wanted to know how she had escaped from the two kidnappers who were much larger than her back then.
Thirdly, he wanted to use his own method to completely get her out of that mental trauma.
Although he did not know exactly how her mental trauma came about, he knew that it was definitely related to her past experience.
Usually, psychological trauma could stimulate a turn for the better after experiencing familiar scenes.
Although the process might be a little cruel, evasion was often not the solution.
Yin Jiujin was someone who was used to being ruthless to himself. When dealing with problems, it was inevitable that he would choose a faster and more direct method.
All he could do was accompany Yan Jinyu and give her a gentle kiss when her emotions were affected.
Like now.
After a long while, the kiss ended.
Yin Jiujin gently pulled her into his embrace.
After a while, he let go of her and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “Tell me about what happened back then?”
Then, he saw that her eyes were a little red and moist. Yin Jiujin didn’t say anything and just lowered his head to kiss the corners of her eyes.
His kiss made Yan Jinyu’s heart skip a beat.
She didn’t avoid him and simply wrapped her arms around his waist. “Alright.”
“Brother Nine, follow me.”
She brought Yin Jiujin into the old factory and walked straight to a room on the second floor of the only flat building in the factory.
The building was already very dilapidated, even more so than 16 years ago.
Fortunately, it was a brick house. Otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago.
Yin Jiujin allowed Yan Jinyu to lead him into the room.
The house was already very empty. Other than a few broken bricks and a few pieces of rotten wood, there was nothing else on the dusty ground.
“A lot had changed here,” Yan Jinyu said.
“After those two kidnappers kidnapped Yun’er and I from the amusement park, they locked us here. After that, the Yan Family brought the ransom over and we were brought downstairs together.”
“At that time, the door of the factory was not so dilapidated so it could be closed. The Yan Family stood outside the door with the ransom, and the kidnappers brought us to stand at the door.”
Yan Jinyu smiled at Yin Jiujin. “I won’t mention anything that the outside world all knows.”
Wasn’t what the outside world knew about the Yan Family was them saving one daughter and abandoning the other?
Yin Jiujin pursed his thin lips and restrained the emotions in his eyes as he looked at her silently.
However, she continued to smile and said, “After Yun’er was brought back to the Yan Family, those two people brought me back here again.”
“Previously, Yun’er and I stayed in this room for half a day. Later on, I stayed here alone for half a day.”
Hence, she was locked up for an entire day.
Had she eaten all day?
Just as Yin Jiujin thought that, Yan Jinyu said, “I think I didn’t eat anything then.”
“I know that this can’t go on. In addition, I heard the two kidnappers cursing. They seemed to be saying that the Yan Family had called the police. I felt that I couldn’t continue like that.”
“I don’t know if they think that I’m too young to escape or something else. They didn’t tie me up.”
“This room wasn’t that clean back then. It was filled with wooden planks and bricks that had just been removed.”
“I found something that looked like a rope and tied it at the two ends of the door. This door is pulled open outwards. Basically, anyone who enters will be tripped by the rope.”
“I found a few small pieces of the wood planks from the wooden boards. They’re not big, but there are many nails behind the door.”
“Then, I sat back and howled loudly.”
“The Yan Family had called the police. The kidnappers would definitely panic when I howled like that. With the darkening of the sky and them panicking, they couldn’t see clearly. Hence, they didn’t pay attention to their feet. They tripped over the rope and fell onto the wooden boards filled with nails.”
“The kidnappers were quite skilled. They avoided the planks quickly and weren’t very seriously injured. I picked up the brick on the ground and knocked him out before he could react.”
Yin Jiujin’s eyelids twitched when he heard that.
“The first one was easy to resolve, but the second one was difficult. Fortunately, I was lucky. That person slipped and fell on the wooden board. I knocked him out again.”
She said it lightly, but it made Yin Jiujin’s heart pound.
She was just a child, and she was fighting with an adult. Furthermore, she had knocked out a man. Most probably, she was already exhausted then.
Moreover, that man was skilled. It was obvious how dangerous the situation was then!
Yin Jiujin didn’t dare to think too much about it.
He tightened his grip on her hand.
Yan Jinyu, who sensed the change in his mood, gave him a big smile. “Brother Nine, don’t worry. It’s all in the past.”
“Later on, I left here and met people from Ghost Slaughter Island.”
“That was what happened then.”
Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply before pulling her into his embrace and hugging her tightly.
Yan Jinyu was about to say that it was over when she realized that his arms that were hugging her seemed to be trembling. Yan Jinyu’s body couldn’t help but stiffen, and she sighed inwardly.
Yin Jiujin wasn’t like the famous Yin Jiujin that others knew at all.
The Yin Jiujin that everyone knew was dignified and ruthless.
“I’m sorry,” Yin Jiujin said.
Yan Jinyu looked up at him in confusion, “Sorry for what?”
“You’re my fiancée. I have the responsibility to protect you, but I failed you.”
Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Brother Nine, what are you talking about? How old were you back then?”
“Eight years old.”
“Yes, you were only eight years old. You were still a child.”
“I was a child when I was eight. What about you when you were two? How scared and desperate were you then?”
Yan Jinyu tightened her grip on the corner of his shirt.
Fear and despair…
No matter how smart she was, she was only two years old. Under such circumstances, of course, she would have those emotions.
However, Yin Jiujin was the first person to say that out loud.
Even after she returned to the Yan Family and met so many people who either hated or cared about her, no one asked or mentioned that to her.
Of course, it could also be because those who hated her were too lazy to mention it while those who cared about her were afraid that if they mentioned it, it would remind her of her unhappy past.
“Besides, I was not young when I was eight years old. I even knew what kind of person I wanted to be and what kind of life I wanted to have.” He joined the army when he was eight years old.
The Yin Family didn’t have any military background even after tracing back to their ancestors.
He found the direction of his life by himself.
Although later on… at the beginning, it was indeed a path that he thought he would take for the rest of his life.
“I only blame myself for not seeing you sooner and being interested in you earlier.”
“It’s not too late now,” Yan Jinyu said. “Just treat me well in the future.”
Yin Jiujin looked at her. “Yes, I’ll treat you well in the future.”
With that, the kiss landed again.

At the North City airport, Bai Shuangshuang, who was about to board the plane, suddenly received a call.
Nobody knew what the other party said, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks. “What?! She’s gone?!”
