Without bringing anyone else, they quickly sneaked into the villa.
After they entered Villa No.10, they realized that this place was no different from an ordinary villa building. Even ordinary people with some skills could easily sneak in, let alone the two of them.
The two of them looked at each other.
They understood what the other party wanted to say.
Could it be that Yu Qingwan was lying?
However, Yan Jinyu quickly rejected this idea.
Under the circumstances, Yu Qingwan was so afraid of death that she wouldn’t dare to lie to her at all. There was also no need to lie to her either.
They exchanged glances, and Yan Jinyu gestured for Yin Jiujin to continue looking into the villa.
This villa seemed to be occupied, but there was no one in the villa now.
“Could it be that Yu Qingwan’s information isn’t accurate enough?” In the end, Yan Jinyu could only think of this explanation.
In the next second, Yin Jiujin hugged her and hid behind the wall.
In the narrow space, the two of them were pressed close to each other. Yan Jinyu was pulled into Yin Jiujin’s arms. Yin Jiujin supported himself against the wall with one hand and protected her.
Actually, Yan Jinyu had sensed something amiss the moment Yin Jiujin hugged her.
Their breathing slowed down together.
The two of them were experts among experts at hiding their traces. If they wanted to hide, even an expert like Liu Guang might not be able to discover them, let alone some small frys.
“When will this kind of life end! We’ve been here for more than 10 years!” A middle-aged man with a full beard complained.
“Who knows!” This was a younger man. He was obviously very dissatisfied too and even spat after saying that.
“Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about food and clothes. Otherwise, who would be willing to stay here all day like a thief!” It was the third man.
“I wonder what Sir is thinking. Can’t he just kill the person inside? Why does he have to keep him alive and make us guard him? We’ve to torture him every day but we can’t let him die. We can’t even torture him to our hearts’ content!”
“Since the person inside is so important, why don’t he arrange for him to stay in the base? Why does he want him to stay in such an easily discovered place?”
“Perhaps Sir feels that the most dangerous place is also the safest place? You also know the identity of the person inside. It might not be safer to lock him up in the base than here.”
“That’s true!”
Hearing this, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin looked at each other.
So there was really something wrong here!
He seemed to be hiding someone very important, and he had been hiding him for more than 10 years.
These people should have come out of the basement. They had just checked around the villa but did not discover the basement. It was obvious that the basement had been built with some extra effort.
On the way here, Yan Jinyu investigated all the information about this villa while Yin Jiujin was driving.
The residents here were an ordinary rich couple. The two of them lived overseas all year round, but they would come back to stay occasionally. Usually, when there was no one around, there would be helpers who would come to clean regularly. Occasionally, the relatives of the family head would come to stay here.
Of course, Yan Jinyu didn’t believe this information.
That was why she and Yin Jiujin headed over here without any hesitation.
“I’m starving. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if there’s anything to eat!”
Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin were hiding in the kitchen.
Without saying anything, they understood what each other meant with just one look.
“Wh—” Who is there!
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Jinyu killed him in a flash.
“Someone sneaked in!” The people on the other side heard the commotion and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Jiujin shot him in the head.
The gun had a silencer so it wasn’t loud.
There were a total of three people in the living room. They wanted to get their weapons when they reacted. Unfortunately, Yin Jiujin easily finished them before they could take out their weapons.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the basement and the passageway was already closed. It was obvious that these people were still cautious. They closed the door of the passageway as soon as they left the basement.
The basement was very difficult to discover.
Even Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin didn’t notice it earlier.
However, now that the two of them heard the commotion, they could roughly tell which direction had a hidden issue.
After confirming the location, the two of them opened the passageway in less than half a minute.
“Shall we go down and take a look?”
Yan Jinyu was about to walk down when Yin Jiujin pulled her back. “Wait!”
She stopped and looked at him in confusion.
Yin Jiujin rubbed her head. “I’ll go first.” At the same time, he took out his phone and sent Lin Zimu a message.
He got Lin Zimu to bring people over to guard them just in case the enemy rushed over when they went down.
“I’ll go in first.” Yan Jinyu pressed on her wristwatch and immediately switched on the scanning mode.
She waved her hand in front of Yin Jiujin. “It’s safer.”
Yin Jiujin looked at her wristwatch and thought to himself that the young lady was indeed outstanding. She had assembled a small “watch” like this.
It was a shame that he still believed her when she said that this was a 10-dollar second-hand good.
Was his IQ usually that low?
How could he have believed it at that time?
“Your 10 dollars is quite worth it.”
“…” Yan Jinyu. How long had it been? Why was he still teasing her about that?
However, just as she was stunned for a second, Yin Jiujin walked into the passageway first. He turned back and smiled at her. “Although it’s safer for you to walk in front, I still want to protect you. Follow me closely. If there’s anything abnormal, just tell me immediately. I can react.”
Yan Jinyu was exasperated.
However, judging from the defense outside, the basement shouldn’t be too dangerous either.
She would follow him closely and attack immediately if there was any danger. She would never let him get hurt in front of her.
Besides, it was not completely useless for her to walk behind.
This was equivalent to him handing the rear to her.
This was the first time she had gone out alone to do something serious with Yin Jiujin.
The corridor of the basement was very narrow and long.
They kept walking in.
It was dark and damp.
Yan Jinyu pressed on her wristwatch twice. It switched to a small torchlight mode.
The corridor was no longer so dark.
Walking further in, there was a faint light in the basement that allowed him to see his surroundings.
The entire basement exuded a strong smell of blood and mildew.
“Who is it?!” Just as the person spoke, Yin Jiujin pulled the trigger and killed him.
There were not many people in the basement. There were only two of them. They killed them with one shot each.
The basement was not big either. Other than some places where torture devices were placed, there was only a cell with iron bars that had a person locked in it.
The light was very dim, so the person inside could not be seen clearly. They could only vaguely tell that he was still alive through his faint breathing.
Yan Jinyu was about to look for the cell’s keys on the two people on the ground when Yin Jiujin said, “I’ll do it.”
He took the keys and walked to the cell.
They were so close that they could barely see the person inside under the faint lights.
His hair was very long and dirty. It hung down and completely covered his face. His clothes were in tatters and his body was covered in injuries that were both new and old. Some of the wounds had scabs while some had pus.
Glancing at the torture devices in the dungeon, Yan Jinyu looked at the person inside. The putrid smell and the smell of blood made her frown slightly. “Brother Nine, who do you think he is?”
“I can’t tell for now. I’ll go in and take a look. Wait outside.” The smell here was too strong. Yin Jiujin didn’t want Yan Jinyu to go in.
Yan Jinyu didn’t insist either.
The cell was not big. It was about three to four square meters. She could still see them while standing outside.
“Alright, be careful.”
Yin Jiujin walked over and paused for a moment before reaching out to brush away the long hair that covered the face.
His face was exposed.
His face was definitely dirty and had many scars. Hence, only the outline of his face could be barely seen.
Yin Jiujin frowned. Although his face couldn’t be clearly seen, he was certain that he didn’t know this person.
He reached out to check his breathing.
His breathing was weak, but he was still alive.
“Do you know him?” Yin Jiujin looked up and asked Yan Jinyu.
Yan Jinyu stared at that person for a while before shaking his head. “I’m not sure.” What he meant was that he had doubts about this person’s identity.
“Bring him back first,” Yan Jinyu said. “Regardless of whether he’s the person I guessed, since he was detained by Liu Guang for more than 10 years, it means that there must be a reason for Liu Guang not to kill him. Even if there wasn’t a reason, he must be Liu Guang’s enemy too.”
“The enemy of an enemy is a friend. It might be useful to us if we bring him back.”
***
Lin Zimu and his men arrived quickly. They left a few people to settle the scene and brought the person they found back to the Mount West Villa.
Yan Jinyu called Min Rufeng immediately.
This person could completely be described as “on his last breath”. If it wasn’t for a doctor like Min Rufeng, no one was able to wake him up.
“How is it?” Yan Jinyu asked when Min Rufeng walked out of the room.
“Don’t worry. With me around, as long as he’s still alive, I can save him.”
Min Rufeng’s medical skills gave him the capital to be confident. Even Xi Fengling didn’t think that he was being narcissistic.
“That’s good.”
“I wonder how he survived. His legs are completely broken. Those legs should have been broken more than 10 years ago. There was no treatment at that time. As for the other injuries on his body, they’re even more serious. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it long ago, but he’s still breathing.”
They were all people who had seen countless injuries. Even if they did not know medicine, they could tell how serious this person’s injuries were.
Xi Fengling glanced into the room and frowned when she saw the person lying on the bed. “Then, when will he wake up?”
“That’s hard to say. He may wake up in a day or two, or even a month or two. Of course, he may also wake up in a year or two.”
“It’s that serious?” Xi Fengling knew very well how good Min Rufeng’s medical skills were. Even Min Rufeng couldn’t guarantee when he would wake up.
Min Rufeng nodded. “It’s indeed very serious.”
Yan Jinyu also glanced into the room and said, “Let’s talk somewhere else.”
This person was placed in the building beside the main building of the Mount West Villa. The few of them returned to the main building and sat down in the living room.
Yin Jiujin was obsessed with cleanliness. He didn’t wait for Min Rufeng to treat that person like them. Instead, he went upstairs to take a simple shower and change his clothes.
The few of them had just sat down in the living room when he came downstairs.
Not only Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling, but Huo Siyu was also present.
“Do you know who he is?” Yan Jinyu asked.
The three of them thought for a moment and shook their heads.
However, Yan Jinyu kept quiet for a long time.
Their years of tacit understanding made the three of them look at her at the same time. “Do you know?”
They spoke in unison.
“I’m not sure. I only have a guess.”
Xi Fengling was the first to speak, “Who is he?”
