Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: Funeral, Wedding Ceremony and Crime Scene (2/2)

“What the fuck are you planning to accomplish by this funeral? You’ve already taken YL into your hands, isn’t that enough?”

“Of course, it’s not enough.” Yan Jin did not plan to hide his intentions: “If you were in my shoes, would it be enough? Could you not react?”

“Dafuq, I could, of course I fucking could.” Chu Gu was simply too angry as he continued to curse and swear: “You can be angry, but you’re overdoing it. I am sad that this happened to Fishy. The main culprit was still lying in the hospital two days ago. Damn it, if you are so angry then why did you still save him…”

“It would be meaningless to just end the life of that little designer.” Yan Jin interrupted Chu Ge’s words as he lifted the edge of his lips mockingly: “Fishy’s death is not because of the accident. It’s because of me.”

“Because I did not have the ability to protect him.”

Chu Ge was momentarily at a loss for words. He stared at Yan Jin for a long time, as if it was the first day he met this person. Then, he turned around to look at the hall.

For the past two days, all the people they knew from S City had made their visits. Today was the third day, and those who had arrived were mainly entrepreneurs from all over the world. Glancing through the crowd, and Chu Ge could see that they were all familiar faces.

He finally understood why the funeral was held for seven days. It was because Yan Jin wanted to ensure that those families from overseas could make it in time to this event.

A ridiculous thing like holding a funeral for a beloved pet naturally could not fool everyone. The main point of this large-scaled car accident was of course, not to eliminate the hamster that had passed away. Instead, it was a failed attempt to murder the Yan family’s grandchild.

Even if Yan Jin did not make a move, the Yan family behind Yan Jin would not remain unconcerned. The fact that the Yan family had silently approved this ridiculous funeral was also a silent acknowledgement to lend Yan Jin the family’s power and influence.

There were too many suspects in this accident including ones that even Yan Jin had not foreseen. It was highly possible that even people within the Yan family were involved with the accident. Hence, Yan Jin held the funeral in order to gather all the suspects together and investigate all of them one by one.

Those people who showed the slightest hint of hiding something, they and their families would soon receive a stormy revenge from Yan Jin.

Under the threat of the Yan family, these people could not avoid being absent. But if they did attend, it would still be a dead end.

At least half of the ‘main stars’ of this funeral understood the meaning of this event. The other half would be like the person who Chu Ge had seen earlier, using outstanding or pathetic acting skills to attempt to dodge the bullet.

But it was useless.

Because Yan Jin’s investigation was very simple. With only one sentence, a slightly sensitive question, those people who were guilty could never escape the chairman’s eyes.

It was a hopeless situation.

In a certain perspective, it could be said that Yan Jin was using his pet’s death to set up the next best move, a move that was unavoidable.

You came? You couldn’t escape Yan Jin’s eyes.

You did not come? Then obviously you’re guilty.

In the eyes of the outsiders who understood the situation better, that was how it looked.

Perhaps only Chu Ge could really understand what Yan Jin was trying to do.

He had withdrawn his claws and passed his days steadily. If he had gone after power and status, then why would he withdraw his claws? His extraordinary abilities had destined him to be standing at the peak of the world. But, he did not stand there because what he was after was not power or status.

However, a person’s talent would arouse the envy of others.

He could retreat and retreat all he wanted but he could not avoid a person’s mind, neither could he avoid guesses and envy of others who thought he was after something.

From that point alone, Yan Jin had lost because he was ‘young’.

He had lost because of the ‘naivety’ of never having lost a loved one before.

……

Many would not understand or may purposely overlook it. The person that they were dealing with was Yan family’s strongest heir in their history, an extraordinary talent in business trade that took over power from the family’s previous head at age sixteen.

It was just because Yan Jin had been too low-profile when he returned to the country, overtly concealing his strengths and biding his time, that many people did not have enough fear or warning –

That was why such a tragedy had happened.

Yes, that was what Yan Jin had thought.

The reason why Fishy had an accident was all because of him.

Yan Jin rarely regretted his own decisions, but this time, it was no doubt the most upsetting and most regretful of all.

It was too late to amend anything, and Yan Jin could only vent out his anger.

Even at age sixteen, he would never commit such a self-damaging move as he was now when he crushed his enemies. However, at age twenty-nine, Yan Jin would take his revenge even if he felt it was not a smart move. He would direct it at everyone who was directly or indirectly involved in this incident, saying it to their faces –

Death awaits you.
