Chapter 217
When Jin Ling heard this, she was immediately disappointed. She never expected Zhang Beichuan to be so cruel and ruthless that he would not leave Jin Xin any chance of survival.
The church is not a place that ordinary people can enter. Even if a man goes in, it is difficult to escape unscathed, let alone a weak girl like Jin Xin.
Although Xiao Jingrui knew something about the situation in Shanghai, he was also well aware of the special existence of the church. However, he could not understand why Zhang Beichuan would do such a cruel thing to a woman.
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Junshan said, "I heard that Zhang Beichuan was once captured by the Japanese, and Jin Xin was cooperating with the Japanese at that time. Could it be because of this reason?"
Xiao Jingrui looked at Lin Junshan suspiciously, wondering how he could know so much. Even if it was hearsay, it would be impossible to know such details! Could this guy be a member of some organization? Seeing Xiao Jingrui's suspicious eyes, Jin Yu explained: "It is true. Zhang Beichuan was captured by Jin Xin and his men. I heard that the commander of the Japanese side was called Xia Mu or something, and Jin Xin showed up in person. That's why Tan Feng locked Jin Xin up."
Hearing Jin Yu say the same thing, Xiao Jingrui thought to himself that it seemed that this matter was no longer a secret in the upper class. He thought he had found the answer, but he didn't expect his cousin to suddenly speak up: "Speaking of which, at that time, the Tan family and our Jin family had an engagement. As a result, that guy was unreliable and changed the engagement temporarily. Since then, our Jin family has been keeping an eye on their Tan family, including that ungrateful Jin Xin."
Xiao Jingrui didn't know that there was such a thing involved. The Xiao family used to live in the imperial capital. At that time, the international situation was quite chaotic, so the Xiao family didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the Jin family. It was only later that they heard that the concubine's daughter got married or something like that, and they never thought that there were so many things involved.
He couldn't help but sigh: "So that's how it is!"
Xiao Jingrui understood that it was not just the major families in Shanghai who knew about this, but because the Jin family and the Tan family were not on good terms that the people of the Jin family knew so much. As a member of the Jin family, it made sense for Lin Junshan to know the whole story of this kind of thing.
Lin Junshan glanced at Xiao Jingrui, his mouth corners slightly raised, secretly feeling lucky. He didn't expect that his simple explanation would make Xiao Jingrui believe him so easily. This made him a little surprised at Xiao Jingrui's simplicity and kindness.
Xiao Jingrui looked at Lin Junshan. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he nodded to show his understanding. He felt that Lin Junshan must have known about the conflict between Zhang Beichuan and Jin Xin because of this, and maybe he really told him this out of good intentions. In this way, Xiao Jingrui helped Lin Junshan dispel his doubts.
Speaking of the Xiao family, although they are still affiliated with the Southern Government, they are only doing it to make a living. Their inner beliefs have been severely damaged, especially after hearing what Zhang Beichuan did, they are even more dismissive of No. 85. Xiao Jingrui has already considered whether he should get out of it and go to Hong Kong to develop.
At first, Xiao Jingrui had considered going abroad, but the current international situation was in chaos and war was raging. If he really went across the ocean, his parents would definitely not agree. But Hong Kong was different. Although it was still governed by foreigners, it was close to where his parents were. In this way, even if he went to Hong Kong, his parents would not have to worry too much, and he could return at any time.
Xiao Jingrui had not originally considered Hong Kong as his first choice until he received a letter from a classmate two days ago, which described in detail what he had seen and heard in Hong Kong, making him curious.
Xiao Jingrui found that there was nothing for him to do here, so he stood up and said goodbye, "In that case, I'll go back first. Cousin, if you need any help, just come to the Xiao family manor to find us. We will all support you with all our strength, and you don't have to be afraid of the Yan family." He looked at Yan Minnan with provocation in his eyes, as if warning him not to provoke Jin Ling easily.
Jin Ling looked at Jing Rui gratefully and nodded, "Thank you, cousin."
Yan Minnan's heart sank, but he remained calm on the surface, just nodded slightly to show that he heard it. He knew that the Xiao family and the Jin family were now the backers behind Jin Ling. If they really wanted to fight, the Yan family might not be able to gain an advantage. Besides, Yan Minnan was a man who loved his wife, and he would not give the Jin family and the Xiao family a chance to help.
Yan? listened to the conversation from the side, secretly glad that he had made the right decision to marry Jin Ling. He knew that with the support of the Jin and Xiao families, the Yan family's position in Shanghai would be more stable.
Seeing that his words had been conveyed, Xiao Jingrui turned and left. Lin Junshan and Jin Yu looked at each other and said goodbye to Yan Minnan. Jin Yu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will help you find a suitable Feng Shui treasure land as soon as possible." After that, the two followed Xiao Jingrui and left.
After a while, only Jin Ling, Yan Minnan and Yan Yan were left in the Yan family. Jin Ling stood there quietly, looking at Yan Minnan with a firm and confident look, as if conveying a message to him - she would not be defeated by any difficulties.
After everyone left, Yan Minnan hugged Jin Ling tightly, his concern was beyond words. He carefully observed Jin Ling from left to right, not missing any details, and asked anxiously: "Are you okay? How could you be so bold? Have you forgotten that you are no longer a person? If something happens to you, what should I do!"
Jin Ling felt Yan Minnan's sincere concern, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She gently patted Yan Minnan on the back and comforted him, "Okay, dear, don't worry too much. You see, I'm fine now. Besides, they dare not do anything to me. If they really annoy me, they will definitely suffer in the end." The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of confidence and strength.
Jin Ling's words made Yan Minnan choke, and he secretly sighed that this little girl was really straightforward, but then he thought about it and felt that it made sense. Jin Ling is a high-level psychic, and those people are just a group of ordinary people who are powerless. Even if they really fight, they are definitely not Jin Ling's opponents. But Yan Minnan is still worried. After all, Jin Ling is pregnant now. What if something happens? So he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, wife, you can't be so careless. I know you are very powerful, but there are too many of them. If they rush over together, you will be in danger! And didn't you see that the woman is holding a pistol in her hand?"
