The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Chapter 80 – Under His Nose

Chapter 80: Under His Nose

Min Ting believed that Yin Jiujin would definitely do such a thing.

Min Ting was still willing to be on good terms with Yin Jiujin even with his bad temper. It wasn’t because of Yin Jiujin’s status and he wanted curry favor with him, but because Yin Jiujin was actually extremely protective of his people although he looked fierce and difficult to approach.

Yin Jiujin had saved Min Ting’s life in the past.

It could be said that without Yin Jiujin, Min Ting would have died long ago.

“She’s not dead.” He then told him what Yan Jinyu said about how she let them live on purpose.

Yin Jiujin remained silent when he heard that. He didn’t say a word, but his expression became even more unfathomable.

“How dare they touch my people! Ha.”

“Ask the Qiu Family to give me an explanation. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting them witness my methods.”

Min Ting knew that the Qiu Family was in trouble, but he didn’t pity them.

Since Qiu Jian dared to do it, she should bear the consequences.

“I’ll get Qin Bailu to pass a message to the Qiu family.”

“Second Brother, that Huo Xuan…”

“He’s quite capable of having offended me time and time again. Since he dared to make trouble for me, he should be prepared for my revenge.”

Min Ting thought that Huo Xuan was going to be in trouble.

However, he saw Yin Jiujin get up and hurriedly ask, “You’re leaving now? It’s been a long time since we last met. Why don’t you have a drink before leaving?”

“Next time.” He casually glanced at the wall behind him. “Who’s the boss of this club?”

Min Ting was stunned, obviously not expecting him to ask this.

Shaking his head, he said, “I’m not sure. I only know that it is quite famous in the North City. If I didn’t have business dealings with someone who often comes here, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to book this private room tonight.” He asked curiously, “Second Brother, do you think there’s anything wrong with it? Do you want me to get someone to investigate?”

“I’m just asking. I’m leaving now.”

“Alright, then I’ll ask you out again next time.” He was still puzzled. Ask casually? If it were anyone else, he might believe them, but this man…

He was not someone who would ask questions for no reason.

It seemed like he had to investigate this club properly.

Usually, people like them would not discuss matters in unfamiliar places. They had asked Second Brother to meet them here because they heard that the privacy here was good. Furthermore, what they wanted to talk about was not a secret that could not be leaked out, so he did not pay much attention to it.

Now that he thought about it, Second Brother had been in North City for so many years. It was not an exaggeration to say that North City was already Second Brother’s territory. However, even Second Brother did not know who owned such a famous club in North City.

It was hard not to take it to heart.

Yin Jiujin walked out of the private room, but he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he walked to the private room beside them.

Just as he was about to open the door, a waiter interrupted him, “Sir, may I help you?”

Before Yin Jiujin could reply, the waiter said, “I remember that you seem to be Third Young Master Min’s guest. Third Young Master Min is in the private room next door. Perhaps you’ve remembered wrongly.” Even some important figures couldn’t help but feel numb when facing Yin Jiujin, let alone a waiter.

The waiter was drenched in cold sweat and his voice was trembling slightly. However, he still managed to complete his sentence.

Yin Jiujin glanced at him indifferently. “Is that so?” However, he had no intention of retracting his hand. He still wanted to push open the door.

Cold sweat dripped down the waiter’s forehead. “S-Sir…”

With a loud bang, the door was pushed open and the waiter almost fainted from shock.

When he saw the scene in the private room, his high-strung heart fell back heavily. His emotions fluctuated so much that he felt a little dizzy. “S-Sir, I wanted to say that there’s no one in this private room.”

Staring at the empty room, Yin Jiujin’s frown deepened.

He knew better than anyone how sharp his senses were.

He could clearly sense that there was someone in the room. That person was even observing them from the room… or rather, peeping at them.

He was never wrong.

But how could they explain the empty private room and the soundproof wall that looked no different from their private room?

The private room was closed. Without a window, one could not leave through the window.

There was no one in the washroom.

The bathroom door was open, and from his angle, he could see that it was empty.

As for leaving the room quickly, that was even more impossible.

Because there was a long corridor outside the private room, he could see the end of the corridor as soon as he walked out of the private room. And from the moment he got up to the moment he walked out of the private room, even though his footsteps were steady, his speed was not slow, and it only took about ten seconds.

In such a short time, it was impossible to move from the private room in front of them to another private room, not to mention leaving through the corridor.

He glanced at the waiter who was trembling in fear. “I heard that Elegant Bamboo’s private room is difficult to reserve, but there’s still an empty one?”

“I-It’s like this. This private room was originally reserved by Boss Zhang. Boss Zhang suddenly had an appointment tonight and couldn’t come. Elegant Bamboo has a rule that as long as the reservation is made, it cannot be canceled. Hence, i-it’s empty.”

“Second Brother, what’s wrong?”

Under Yin Jiujin’s dark gaze, the waiter lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Yin Jiujin moved his gaze away when he heard the voice. He turned to look at Min Ting, who had followed him out. “Nothing.” He turned and walked towards the elevator.

He was preparing to leave.

However, he did not know that if he took another step into the room and looked up, he would see a person lying on top of his head. If he walked further in, he would also see a person hiding behind the door.

Min Ting wasn’t in the mood to play anymore. He glanced at the waiter who was so frightened that he couldn’t stand straight before following Yin Jiujin.

However, he heard Yin Jiujin making a phone call. “Find out who booked Room 315 at Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse tonight and all those who entered that room within these two hours.”

It was Lin Zimu at the other end of the call.

“Yes, Boss.” He replied immediately without asking any questions.

After a pause, Lin Zimu asked, “Boss, are we still going to the Yan Family?” Lin Zimu had driven Yin Jiujin over from Mount Jing. At this moment, he was waiting for Yin Jiujin in the car parked in the parking lot of the clubhouse.

Yin Jiujin had left Mount Jing in a hurry because he had many doubts after seeing the invitation letter. He wanted to go to the Yan Family to see Yan Jinyu. He didn’t want to ask her anything, but when he saw the three words on the invitation letter, he really wanted to see her. That was all.

As soon as the car left Mount Jing, he received a call from Min Ting.

Min Ting would not come to North City for no reason. Even if he came to North City, he would not have called him on the day he returned to Mount Jing if it was not something urgent.

Hence, Yin Jiujin got Lin Zimu to go to the Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse where Min Ting had arranged to meet him.

Upon hearing Lin Zimu’s question, Yin Jiujin was silent for a moment before saying, “Not for now.”

Lin Zimu did not ask further. “Alright, Boss.”

Yin Jiujin hung up.

Min Ting wasn’t stupid. After hearing Yin Jiujin’s call to Lin Zimu, how could he not understand that there was something wrong with Room 315, which was the room next to theirs?

He was about to dash out and investigate when the elevator door closed.

He could only follow the elevator downstairs.

No wonder Second Brother kept staring at the wall. There was really a problem.

The elevator went down to the first floor and then returned to the third floor from the first floor. Although it was not long, if there was really someone in 315, there was enough time for them to leave.

With this in mind, Min Ting looked at Yin Jiujin in confusion. “Second Brother, since there’s a problem with 315, why didn’t you go in right away to investigate?”

“Nobody.”

Min Ting knew that he meant that there was no one in Room 315.

But…

How could the person in the private room escape in such a short time?

Min Ting had no doubt that Yin Jiujin had sensed that there was something wrong with 315. He was only puzzled about how the other party left 315 in such a short time.

“Are they hidden? Although there isn’t much in the room, there are still sofas and tables. Second Brother didn’t seem to have entered Room 315 to check carefully just now.” As soon as Second Brother left, he followed behind and didn’t see Second Brother stepping into Room 315.

“Alright, even if there’s no one inside, Second Brother, there should be something wrong with the wall that you’ve been staring at from the beginning, right? Why… Why didn’t you investigate clearly before leaving?” The soundproof wall was extremely good, and even the sound of the private room next door could not be heard. If not for the problem with that wall, even someone as alert as Second Brother might not have noticed anything wrong.

“They’re not hidden. No one’s breathing.” After a pause, Yin Jiujin said, “As for the wall, there’s something wrong with it in the first place. There’s no need to investigate further.” If he went to investigate, he would have alerted the enemy.

“316 is your designated private room?” Yin Jiujin asked.

Most of the people from influential families were very particular. Be it Yin Jiujin, who had a successful career, or Min Ting, who was a “hedonistic son”, they would all have designated private rooms at relatively common places.

Min Ting’s expression turned cold as soon as Yin Jiujin asked that.

If there was really something wrong with that wall, it couldn’t be targeting Second Brother, who was here for the first time, but him, who often came here and would definitely book private room 316!

Min Ting’s assistant also entered the elevator. His expression was tense now. It was obvious that he had thought of what Min Ting had thought of.

“Third Young Master…

Min Ting raised his hand to interrupt him and looked at Yin Jiujin. “Although I’m a good-for-nothing, I don’t think I’ve offended anyone. Even if I’ve unintentionally offended them, they can’t be in North City. If they really came for me, I’m really curious about who they are. And I’ve never liked such a hidden danger.”

“Therefore, Second Brother, I’m afraid I have to take a look personally to feel at ease.” The reason he said this was because he knew that since Yin Jiujin didn’t intend to investigate, he definitely had other plans or concerns.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang.

Min Ting was shocked. “Sounds from above!”

A dangerous glint flashed in Yin Jiujin’s eyes.

It was clearly the sound of a wall collapsing!

In other words, there was someone in Room 315 and that person had destroyed the wall after they left!

Not only could they escape from under his nose, they even stayed and destroyed the evidence before they escaped!

How bold!

Ha, he had indeed been lying low for too long. People were not taking him seriously anymore!

His voice was extremely cold. “Let’s go back!”

Min Ting wanted to go back even if he didn’t say anything. Coincidentally, the elevator had reached the first floor.

Min Ting pulled a long face and pressed the third floor. The elevator went up again.

As for why they took the elevator back and not ran up the stairs, they all knew that since the other party had the ability to escape Yin Jiujin’s eyes, they definitely wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave through the stairs.

It made little difference whether they went up the stairs quickly or in the elevator slowly.
