Chapter 836: Chapter 625: Give It to Fourth Granny

Yin Shiqing and Yin Bowen probably never imagined that such an important document would be taken by a twelve-year-old boy, Yin Junjie.

His own grandson, his own son...

Yin Bowen is like the proverbial Archaic Dolt, something Yin Shiqing has long realized amidst these ongoing misfortunes.

It’s not that Yin Bowen isn’t smart enough, but that he’s riddled with character flaws.

Although Yin Shiqing has lost faith in Yin Bowen, his interest in the young Yin Junjie has grown increasingly profound.

This child was spoiled beyond measure by Zhu Lan and Shi Haiyan as a child, displaying the natural temper of a Young Master, much to Yin Shiqing’s headache.

However, Yin Shiqing had no good insights into educating children, as he devoted most of his life to his career and fighting with the Yin Family.

After selling the Yin Family Old Mansion, Yin Shiqing gradually felt more at ease.

The extra energy was unconsciously dispersed elsewhere, and it was around this time that Yin Shiqing noticed his grandson had unknowingly grown into an outstanding young man.

At twelve, Yin Junjie already possessed the composure and confidence his father lacked.

Thus, Yin Shiqing began thinking of grooming Yin Junjie.

No one could enter Yin Shiqing’s study, not even Shi Haiyan, unless Yin Shiqing was present and permitted their entry, or Yin Shiqing called them in.

But Yin Junjie was allowed to enter and exit freely.

Yin Shiqing told Yin Junjie that he could read any book on the study’s shelves, but he mustn’t touch the documents on the desk.

Yin Junjie was indeed very well-behaved, only reading books when in the study, occasionally practicing calligraphy and painting with his grandfather.

Because of this, Yin Junjie was only second to Yin Shiqing in familiarity with the study.

Moreover, Yin Junjie was a boy with a very keen mind; despite mostly reading books in the study, he observed the places where Yin Shiqing would store private, important documents.

The penholder on the desk seemed ordinary, yet it boldly held the key to Yin Shiqing’s desk drawer.

Yin Junjie clearly heard the conversation between Yin Shiqing and Yin Bowen from outside the study.

Stealing away the leather folder that Yin Shiqing valued so highly didn’t come without worry or fear for Yin Junjie.

But... in that instant, he made a comparison in his heart.

Was it his grandfather’s scolding and anger that was more terrifying, or was this ever-scheming, scheming house even more so...

The answer was glaringly evident.

Ever since the news of Yin Shixiu’s death spread, Yin Junjie had been very upset for a long time.

A twelve-year-old child, with a developed mind, was at an age where they could judge and understand people, society, and the world.

Due to familial conflicts, Yin Junjie had experienced more than his peers, making him more mature and composed than others his age.

What Yin Junjie couldn’t understand was why, despite Fourth Grandfather being knowledgeable and kind, and Fourth Granny being beautiful, kind, and sincere...

They ended up with such a fate, their family scattered.

In contrast, his father, who had done so many immoral and hurtful things, and his grandfather, skilled in scheming and always aiming for higher positions...

Yet they lived more smoothly than ever...

Yin Junjie didn’t want to become like his grandfather and father.

Even if there was power and they could act on their whims, but... they couldn’t genuinely interact with people, nor did they know how to treat others sincerely...

Just thinking about it, Yin Junjie found it terrifying.

After Yin Shixiu’s death, Yin Junjie had been following the news closely, sometimes wanting to call Fourth Granny, wanting to care for Fourth Granny, Shuangshuang, and Huang Huang.

But...

Thinking it was his grandfather who drove them out of the Yin Mansion and auctioned off the Yin Mansion...

He didn’t have the courage to pick up the phone.

The only channels for Yin Junjie to understand about Fourth Granny’s family were probably TV and online media.

Yin Junjie didn’t know the truth about the Tianjin Port incident.

But he knew that after the incident, Wu Rong, the Public Security Bureau Director who often hung around with his grandfather, didn’t do anything beneficial for Fourth Grandfather.

The Public Security Bureau seemed to leverage public opinion to suppress Fourth Grandfather and Fourth Granny’s company.

Yin Junjie didn’t expect his grandfather to hold Wu Rong’s weakness in his hands.

He didn’t open the leather folder, thinking that giving these to Fourth Granny should be useful.

Yin Junjie had no goodwill towards the calculating, harmful person who deserved his comeuppance, or that Uncle Wu Rong.

After carefully placing the leather folder, during dinner, Yin Junjie lied that he was going to a classmate’s house later to discuss coursework.

Yin Shiqing offered to have a driver take him, but Yin Junjie refused, saying it wasn’t far and he could walk there.

Agreed to be back by nine, and his family didn’t say much more.

After dinner, Yin Junjie fooled Yin Junfan to sleep, then put the leather folder into his backpack, took his wallet, and left.

The area outside the residential community was very lively, and Yin Junjie went to a taxi parked near the community exit.

Sitting in the backseat, Yin Junjie told the taxi driver Su Xiaomeng’s address.

The taxi driver was holding a newspaper, and Yin Junjie hadn’t seen his face clearly; when the driver replied, only then did Yin Junjie suspiciously look up to see the driver’s face.

He looked up and met the gaze directed at him in the rearview mirror...

This exchange...

Yin Junjie’s eyebrows immediately knitted together,

"You are..."

"Click," the car doors locked.

Yin Junjie’s whole body tensed, staring defensively at the "driver."

Yin Junjie recognized him, even though they had only met once or twice, but he remembered the people from the Guo Family because of his strong dislike.

Guo Shuai.

In terms of blood relationship, he was Guo Tong’s biological brother.

"What do you want to do?"

Yin Junjie clenched his fists, never expecting to run into this situation while trying to find Fourth Granny.

Guo Shuai spoke with ill intent, yet Yin Junjie remained remarkably calm.

"Don’t worry, you’re just a little brat. I have no intention of doing anything to you, but I think your old man is too much of a bastard."

"..."

As Guo Shuai spoke, he started the car, driving in the opposite direction of the address Yin Junjie provided.

Yin Junjie clenched his small fists, thinking about how to call for help or save himself.

Guo Shuai glanced at him through the rearview mirror, giving a faint snort,

"I don’t plan on harming you, but if those eyes of yours keep darting around, trying to pull any tricks, don’t blame your uncle here for being ruthless."

Yin Junjie swallowed nervously and said,

"What do you want my Dad to do? Is it money you want?"

In Yin Junjie’s eyes, the Guo family seemed like a bunch of small-time people obsessed with money.

Each appeared harmless but was deeply greedy.

Therefore, he thought Guo Shuai’s first aim must be money.

Surprisingly, upon hearing Yin Junjie’s question, Guo Shuai gave a cold chuckle, then sarcastically said,

"Yes, let’s see how much you’re worth to your father."

Yin Junjie felt puzzled; hearing Guo Shuai’s tone, it seemed his purpose wasn’t money. But if not money, what could it be?

"Do you have a phone on you?"

Guo Shuai suddenly asked, not waiting for Yin Junjie to answer, reaching his hand back,

"Hand over the phone, no tricks."

"..."

For a moment, Yin Junjie’s heart almost stopped; he was indeed in the middle of editing a text message to seek help...

Handing over the phone, Guo Shuai glanced at the screen and chuckled softly.

"Fourth Granny? Who... oh, is it Su Xiaomeng?"

"..." Yin Junjie thought it was bad, fearing that after seeing his edited message, Guo Shuai would shift his target to Fourth Granny.

Thinking this way made Yin Junjie incredibly nervous.

"Seems like you trust Su Xiaomeng more than your own family."
