The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 96: Young Master Qin

Lin Zimu quickly lowered his head when he met his dark eyes. “Sorry, Boss.”

To be honest, it was indeed their fault this time. It had taken them so long to investigate someone. This had never happened before.

Although the other party was quite capable and had some reputation in the capital, she was only a bar owner after all. Furthermore, she was a bar owner without any backing. He did not expect it to be so difficult to investigate.

He could not understand why.

However, after finding out the other party’s identity, he could confirm that if there was really a problem with Elegant Bamboo Clubhouse, it wasn’t targeted at the boss.

In the capital, anyone who knew about the Second Master of the Min Family knew that he had a lover who was a bar owner.

Why was it a lover and not a girlfriend? It was because everyone knew in their hearts that a family like the Min Family would never allow a woman with no family background and had been hanging out at bars all year round and interacting with all kinds of people, to marry into the family.

Even when Second Young Master Min was only the illegitimate son of the Min Family.

Even if Second Young Master Min was an illegitimate child, he was still an illegitimate child recognized by the Min Family.

Although Second Young Master Min was unfortunately lost at 10 years old when he went out with Eldest Young Master Min under Mrs. Min’s lead and was only found three years ago, Second Young Master Min was still recognized by the Min Family as he was personally brought back by Old Master Min when he was five years old.

This Second Young Master Min, as an illegitimate son, was able to get Old Master Min to personally bring him back to the Min Family and put his name in the family register. He was the only illegitimate son to receive such treatment among the many wealthy families in the capital.

Moreover, the Min Family was one of the top three families in the capital.

It was said that many people were shocked when this incident happened back then. However, until today, no one knew the reason why Old Master Min did this. It was even more impossible to know now because 15 years ago, which was also not long after Second Young Master Min was unfortunately lost, Old Master Min passed away.

If one thought deeply about this entire matter—from Second Young Master Min’s identity as a recognized illegitimate son and brought back by the Min Family, to Second Young Master Min’s unfortunate disappearance, to Old Master Min’s sudden passing—it was probably another wealthy family’s big drama.

Lin Zimu slowly retracted his thoughts.

In short, since Elegant Bamboo’s boss was Second Young Master Min’s lover, and the wall that Elegant Bamboo had problems with, happened to be Third Young Master Min’s exclusive private room…

The implications were not hard to guess.

Yin Jiujin’s tone contained a mild anger. It wasn’t that he didn’t know that the boss behind Elegant Bamboo was very capable and difficult to investigate, but because he had always been strict with his subordinates.

They took so long to investigate one person. In his opinion, that was already considered a failure.

As for whether the other party was capable or not, those were all excuses.

If they was capable enough, there would be no one whom they couldn’t find.

Yin Jiujin had strict requirements for his subordinates and for himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gained his current status after coming to North City alone at such a young age.

“All the people in charge of this matter will find a block of free time to have a month of extra training.”

“Yes, Boss.” Lin Zimu always obeyed Yin Jiujin’s orders unconditionally.

He felt a little relieved after answering.

Fortunately, he had other things that his boss had instructed him to do recently and he had to accompany his boss to the Yan Family to attend Miss Yu’s birthday party today. Hence, he was not in charge of investigating the boss behind Elegant Bamboo. Otherwise, he would probably have to squeeze out a period of “not busy” time to train in his busy life.

The additional training was not a simple one. Apart from the people who followed their boss completely relied on their brains for their living… like the hackers and researchers…

Other than them, every additional training for the rest of them would make them half-dead.

Just as Lin Zimu was rejoicing, Yin Jiujin asked calmly, “Who’s that Xi Fengling?”

“…” Lin Zimu.

Although Xi Fengling was not a big shot, she had quite a reputation in the capital. Furthermore, she was the lover of the Second Young Master of the Min family. There were probably very few people in the capital who did not know her.

Alright, this person was the boss, so it seemed normal for him not to know about Xi Fengling.

“Speaking of Xi Fengling, although Boss might not be familiar with her name, she has another identity. She’s the boss of Mei Feng Bar in the capital.”

“Min Rufeng’s woman?”

The corners of Lin Zimu’s mouth twitched with regard to the boss’s focus point. Mei Feng Bar was not an ordinary bar. It was a bar with many branches in the country. The identity of the boss of Mei Feng Bar was much more important than the identity of Second Young Master Min’s woman.

Although Second Young Master Min had the title of the Second Young Master of the Min Family, he did not have any real power in the Min Family. The Min Family had brought him back for three years, but Second Young Master Min’s status in the capital was not even as high as Third Young Master Min, who was a good-for-nothing. It could even be said that if it wasn’t for the backing of Mei Feng’s boss, Xi Fengling, in the capital, most of the offsprings of usual influential families would not even care about him.

It was strange. Xi Fengling was capable, beautiful, and had no background at all. However, at such a young age, she had already made a name for herself in a place like the capital where there were many wealthy families. She had such a beautiful and bewitching face, yet no one dared to take advantage of her when she mingled in all kinds of places …

Why would such a person fall for the useless illegitimate son of the Min Family?

“Yes, Boss.”

Yin Jiujin slowly closed the document in his hand, but he didn’t place it back on the desk. He held the document in one hand and gently tapped the table with the other.

He narrowed her eyes slightly.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

Lin Zimu did not dare to disturb him.

After a long while, Yin Jiujin looked up calmly and said emotionlessly, “Continue to investigate Xi Fengling. Find out her background and her relationship with Little Yu.”

Her relationship with Miss Yu?

Lin Zimu was stunned.

What kind of relationship did Xi Fengling have with Miss Yu? Could it be that Miss Yu had given the person in charge of Elegant Bamboo an invitation for her birthday party, and the boss became suspicious of Miss Yu?

However, wasn’t it a coincidence that Miss Yu sent Zhao Kun an invitation?

Miss Yu seemed to have said that she owed Zhao Kun a favor.

Although Lin Zimu was puzzled, he did not ask further. “Yes.”

The boss was never someone who spoke without thinking. He must have his own reasons for giving such an order.

“Tell Min Ting that the boss behind Elegant Bamboo is Min Rufeng’s woman. You don’t have to tell him anything else and you don’t have to care how he deals with it.”

“Yes.”

“How’s South City?”

“Boss, I did as you instructed a week ago. The Huo Corporation has been under a lot of pressure these past few days. Young Master Huo will probably be trapped in South City for at least two months before he can escape.”

Speaking of this, Lin Zimu could not help but lament.

He really didn’t understand why Young Master Huo would do this. He knew that offending his boss would cause him trouble, and yet he still went against his boss. action

“Mm-hm.”

“But, Boss, I’m worried that after this matter is settled, according to Young Master Huo’s usual style, he will come and find trouble with the Empire Group again.”

“It’s fine. Huo Xuan has some ability since he was able to scheme against me once, but Huo Xuan doesn’t have that ability to plot against me for a second time.”

Lin Zimu was silent.

That seemed to be the case. Although the young master of the Huo Family was very capable and had made many obstacles for the Empire Group ever since the Empire Group had gradually become powerful and entered the Huo Corporation’s field of vision, this was the first time he had succeeded.

He only succeeded because the boss went to fetch Miss Yu.

“…If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”

Lin Zimu left the study. Yin Jiujin’s eyes were abstruse and silent for a moment. Finally, he took out his phone and made a call.

“It’s me. What do you know about your fiancée?”

The man on the other end of the line was tall and well-built. He casually took off his camouflage jacket and only wore a gray singlet. It was already soaked in sweat, and the muscles on his arms were very obvious. It was obvious that he had been training for years.

The man had outstanding looks, but his outstanding face looked slightly naive and honest.

However, because he was a soldier, even though he was a little honest, he still looked righteous and unyielding.

He hung up his camouflage jacket with one hand and held his phone with the other.

Upon hearing Yin Jiujin’s words, he paused and frowned slightly. “Rainy?”

This person was Huo Siyu’s fiancé, the eldest son of the Qin Family in the capital, Qin Hao. He was 25 years old and Yin Jiujin’s good friend.

“What’s wrong with Rainy?” He sounded anxious.

Qin Hao understood Yin Jiujin. He knew that Yin Jiujin wasn’t someone who would care about a woman for no reason, even if that woman was his good friend’s fiancée.

Since he wasn’t concerned about Rainy, the only reason he could think of for Yin Jiujin to suddenly call him and ask him this was because something had happened to Rainy in North City.

Before Rainy left the capital to tour North City, he had asked Yin Jiujin to help take care of her when she was in North City.

Qin Hao’s slightly anxious tone made Yin Jiujin raise his eyebrows slightly. “She’s fine. I was just asking casually.”

Qin Hao heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You’re not someone who would care about someone else’s fiancée for no reason. Is there… something wrong with Rainy? Or did something happen?”
