It is a remote city, and it is currently raining there.
The original Angel Orphanage in the east of the city had been burned by fire two days ago.
The rain had subsided, and some sunlight was shining on the clouds. An expensive SUV is parked in front of the burning Angel Orphanage.
Maybe because of the rain and the fire, there was no one around.
Someone got out of the driver's seat of the SUV. He carried the black umbrella to the back seat and opened the door before saying respectfully, "Boss, we're here."
A man got out of the car.
He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. His hair was neatly trimmed, and he looked handsome and elegant.
She should look pleasing to the eye, but she had a dark pair of eyes, and her expression was extremely cold. This pair of eyes, coupled with his expression, changed his entire temperament. It made the people who were looking at him from afar involuntarily feel fear, not daring to directly stare at his gaze.
In fact, he was only 24 years old. His name was Yin Jiujin, and he was ranked second in the family. He was the famous God of Slaughter in the business world, and people called him Mr. Nine [1, "Jiu" means nine in Chinese, hence his nickname was "Master of Nine".].
Not only in the business world, people in all arenas must respect it.
The one who held the umbrella for him was his main assistant, Lin Zimu. He is also quite famous in the business world.
Yin Jiujin slowly raised her eyes and looked at the burning orphanage, where there was a white parcel.
He walked forward slowly. Although he walked through the ruins and mud, it could not hide his noble aura.
He finally saw the white ball as he approached.
That was someone. And a girl.
His long ponytail hung straight down as he buried his head in his knee. She wore a white t-shirt and jeans with a pair of navy blue canvas shoes at her feet.
Crouching in front of these ruins, he looked small. He did not seem like he would be eighteen years old. Instead, he looked like a twelve or thirteen year old child.
After hearing the footsteps, the girl looked at him and looked at him with her big round eyes. It was as if he had just woken up, making his delicate face look a little dazed.
Yin Jiujin's gaze paused for a moment, and she stopped three steps away from him. "Yan Jinyu?"
The person crouching on the ground measured it for a moment before saying, "I don't know you."
"A lost orphan at the age of two?"
Eyes widened. "It's none of your business."
"You got lost at such a young age, so why do you still remember your real name?"
"I'm happy with that," he's flat.
Her sinister eyes had a slight change, "You don't look happy."
"It's none of your business."
He glanced at the red rope around his neck, "Do you have a jade pendant with the word 'Yu' carved on it?"
"That's none of your business ..." He looked at her, "How do you know?"
"I came to take you home."
"Oh." He stood obediently.
"..." - ".Mr. Nine. Was he not afraid of meeting bad people?
Yin Jiujin's first impression of Yan Jinyu was that she was stupid and gullible.
***
Lin Zimu put the umbrella in the trunk and returned to the driver's seat. He looked at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, aren't you going to confirm it?"
Lin Zimu suddenly saw a pair of dark eyes and he quickly retracted his gaze. "Sorry, Boss. I talk too much."
He took a deep breath and finally said what he wanted, "Boss, I think it's better for you to confirm it first. After all, he is your fiancee. You mustn't be careless."
Sitting in the back seat, the young girl's eyes flickered when she heard the word 'engagement'. But he quickly recovered, and even someone as sharp as Yin Jiujin was unaware of it.
Yin Jiujin glanced at the girl before saying, "No need."
Since he said so, Lin Zimu naturally did not dare to say anything more.
He started the car.
The car drove for about half an hour, but the little girl remained silent. His expression was still a little dull as he stared out the window in a daze.
"Aren't you afraid?" For the first time, Yin Jiujin took the initiative to speak.
Lin Zimu, who was driving in front, suddenly stepped on the brakes, "Sorry, Boss." He didn't need to turn around to find out that his boss' expression must be very scary right now.
Fortunately, his boss did not pursue his mistakes.
But is his boss?
Returning to the burning orphanage, it was understandable that the boss wanted to confirm the other party's identity and take the initiative to ask. But now…
After all, his boss was a little abnormal.
His boss was famous as a non-talking person, and he had never taken the initiative to talk to anyone before. Normally, one would rush to curry favor with it, although most of the time, no one would dare to approach him because of his anger.
As he pondered, Lin Zimu quietly wiped away his cold sweat.
Because that young lady completely ignored her boss!
He actually dared to ignore the boss when he took the initiative to ask a question! He didn't even dare. Oh, that's not true. It must be said that no one would dare to ignore the boss. At least, after following the boss for so many years and seeing all kinds of people, he had never seen anyone who dared to ignore the boss.
"Yan Jinyu."
The little girl looked at him with clear eyes, "Are you talking to me?"
"Who else can I talk to?"
"Oh, just tell me what you want to say. I'm listening."
"..." - ".Yin Jiujin's.
Lin Zimu quietly wiped his cold sweat again. He really did not know whether to say this little girl was brave or stupid. He was afraid that if he infuriated the boss, he would also suffer.
At this moment, he did not dare to interrupt and could only pray that his boss would not involve him in his anger.
"Are you not afraid to follow strangers?"
Huh uh?!
Boss not angry?
Lin Zimu was curious. He stole a fleeting glance at Yin Jiujin through the rearview mirror and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw there were no signs of anger on his face.
Could it be that since she was his fiancee, then the boss' attitude towards this young girl was excellent? But is his boss someone who will be bound by the engagement?
Of course not.
If not for the old madam's last words, then, tell the boss to make sure to find this young mistress — who has been missing for 16 years and who has long given up on being sought by the Yan family — boss will not have it. care at all.
Or did the boss fall in love with this young lady at first sight?
It's even more impossible.
The cold-blooded and ruthless boss was extremely indifferent to his parents and brothers. How can love at first sight happen to him?
Forgetit. If he could not think about it, he would not think about it. After all, his boss was wise and would not be fooled by a young woman.
"Don't you say you want to take me home? Why should I be afraid?"
"Are you not afraid that I'm a bad person and I'm just lying to you saying that I'm going to take you home?"
Blinking her big eyes, she asked, "Are you, then?"
For the first time in his life, Yin Jiujin was made speechless by someone. When he saw her big, clear eyes, he could not get angry at her for no reason.
He decided to change the subject. "The orphanage has been burned. So, why are you there?"
"I'm working in the county. I received a call from the director saying that the orphanage had left, so I applied for leave and went back to see it. Not long after I arrived. The director and the others had moved to another place. I'm planning to stay in the orphanage for a while before visiting the director and the others, but you came."
"worked? If I remember correctly, you will only be 18 years old in two months. Why do you work instead of going to school?"
"..." - ".Lin Zimu had heard what he said. Boss, did you not read all these documents before coming here? Why didn't you look so angry at that time?
Also, you know about all this. Didn't you ask the obvious?
Yan Jinyu looked at him, "Are you worried about me?"
It was clearly still a silly expression, but Yin Jiujin felt that something was different.
But is he worried about her?
He did not know if it was because he was worried about her, but he could not help the anger in his heart when he heard that he was working in the county.
"I'm asking you. Don't change the subject."
The young woman lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes. “Work is ordinary. The orphanage had no money and could not afford so many people to go to school. There are many children like me who quit school after graduating from junior high school. Although I can't get the money to subsidize the orphanage, at least I can work to support myself and reduce the burden of the orphanage."
"You're considered child labor at your age. What kind of work can you do?"
“Our place is different with big cities. Usually, finding a job is easy when you are sixteen and graduating from junior high school. However, it seems that I am not very liked by my boss. I usually work long hours, so I don't make much money after working for almost three years. I've changed some jobs."
Almost three years…
Doesn't that mean he went to work at the age of fifteen?
Indeed, that was also what was recorded in the information he found.
At the age of fifteen, he graduated from junior high school and left the city to work in the county. In almost three years, he has turned almost 50 jobs around.
The longest time he worked at the same job was three months. Fifty jobs meant he had done almost everything.
Cashiers, restaurant waiters, bar waiters, postmen, food delivery couriers, salespeople, porters, construction workers, cleaners.
In the past, he had not thought too much about it. Now, looking at the beautiful and clean face of the young girl as well as her silly expression, Yin Jiujin suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"Give me your hand."
Yan Jinyu blinked and spread her hands.
His callous palm was exposed to Yin Jiujin's sight.
His eyes became dark.
This was not the hand of a young girl who would be eighteen years old. Moreover, this girl looks skinny and petite. He doesn't look like he's going to be an adult.
He suffered so much at such a young age.
He could not help but reach out to hold her hand. Seeing that he was going to dodge, he grabbed it. "Don't move, let me see it."
Calluses are real.
His hands were like these calluses, yet his face was still white and clean. It must be because of his powerful genes.
"Get your hands when you get back."
Yan Jinyu looked at the hand held and only raised her head after a long while. "Take my hand?"
"I'm going to ask someone to buy some stuff that nourishes the skin of the hands."
Yan Jinyu pulled out her hand. "Don't bother with that. I'm used to it."
His hands suddenly felt empty, and Yin Jiujin's eyes darkened again. "I don't like people not obeying me."
Glancing at him, Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze and sat up straight. "Where are we going?"
"I don't think you care."
"I don't care, but my things are in my rented house in the county. I have to go back to pack it."
"Are you carrying your identity card?"
Yan Jinyu nodded.
"It's okay as long as you have your identity card. We can buy new things in the North City."
"I don't have any money. I only have a thousand dollars in my bank account that I have stashed away with great difficulty. I plan to buy a phone with it."
"Buy phone?"
Yan Jinyu took out something from her pocket. "This is my phone. A few days ago it broke and I couldn't see the screen clearly. I have to replace it."
And Nokia. Very old. The screen even broke.
"..." - ".Yin Jiujin's. What kind of young woman would use such a phone in this day and age? That's so old!
"I'll buy you a new one!"
Yan Jinyu put Nokia back in her pocket. "good. You're my fiancee anyway."
"..." - ".Yin Jiujin's.
She had never taken this engagement seriously, but when she met her round, innocent, and clear eyes, she mysteriously could not speak those words out loud.
