Chapter 15

Zheng Daqin was crying and laughing, so Jin Yunhao and Jin Yunxi, the brother and sister, had to speak up to calm her down. It was a good meal, but the three of them hardly ate anything.

After Zheng Daqin's emotions calmed down a bit, she turned back to the topic of matchmaking: "Yunhao, even if you become a prosecutor, you can't forget your roots. You must go to this matchmaking session. Besides, the other family's conditions are actually quite good."

What does this have to do with anything? How did it come to 'forgetting your roots'?

Although Zheng Daqin's words were somewhat exaggerated, the general meaning was not wrong.

That fish vendor at the market was indeed a benefactor to the Jin family.

The vendor's name was Yin Jinhua, and she made a living selling fish at the market in Jari Peak. When Jin Yunhao's father first passed away, Jin Yunhao was still young, and the family, consisting of an orphan and a widow, often suffered bullying. Many times, it was Yin Jinhua who would wield a large cleaver to help them and drive away the bullies.

Later, as Jin Yunhao grew up and gained some skills, he no longer needed Yin Jinhua to wield a cleaver to help him. Moreover, because of good management, Yin Jinhua's family's business became increasingly prosperous, and they eventually moved out of the old district to develop elsewhere. Gradually, the two families lost contact.

As his mother introduced the situation, Jin Yunhao also recalled the events of his childhood and the memory of that enthusiastic and fiery aunt.

"It's that aunt! I almost forgot about her."

"Are you going or not? I've already promised them."

"Of course I'll go. If I don't, you'll nag me to death."

"Hehe, that's my good son. Don't worry, it's just a meeting. If it doesn't work out, you can just be friends."

"But, Mom, I seem to remember that the aunt's child is a boy?"

"Hehe, it's a girl. When she was young, she did look like a tomboy. But girls change a lot as they grow up. She's very pretty now. Don't worry, I've seen her photos."

"..."

In the end, Jin Yunhao was persuaded by Zheng Daqin to attend this sudden matchmaking session.

On the other side, in a small restaurant in Jari Peak, a few girls dressed up were having a heated discussion.

"Xinyue, you finally came back. Can't you stay a bit longer with us? Are you really going to go to the matchmaking session?" one of the girls, who was a bit overweight, asked.

"Hmph, do you think I want to? It's all because of my tyrannical mother. If I don't go, she won't give me my allowance next month," the girl named Park Xinyue replied.

"Hehe, you must be secretly happy, right? The other party is a well-known genius in the old district," another girl with freckles said.

"Pfft, he's called a genius? It's only in this poor place that he stands out. If he were in other districts in江南 (Jiangnan), there would be countless people like him. Only those who can get into Seoul University can be called geniuses. How narrow-minded!" Park Xinyue said with disdain.

The freckled girl didn't get angry but argued back, "But he's already an intern prosecutor and will soon become a full-fledged prosecutor. If you marry a prosecutor, you'll be so happy."

Park Xinyue disagreed, "Pfft, what's so great about a prosecutor? They just have a bit more power. Not only is their work busy, but they also earn a fixed salary, living a tight life. A prosecutor from a poor background can't afford a house for years. I know a prosecutor who has worked for many years, and his wife doesn't even have a Chanel bag. And he's still an intern, whether he can become a full-fledged prosecutor is still uncertain."

The freckled girl was speechless, and the overweight girl chimed in, agreeing with Park Xinyue, "Xinyue is right. In my opinion, you should find a rich partner. With your good conditions, only a scion of a conglomerate can match you."

"Hehe, only you understand me," Park Xinyue laughed.

"But Xinyue, what about the matchmaking session later? Didn't you say you have an important event tonight? Are you not going?" the overweight girl asked.

"Of course I'm going. Tonight's event is very important. I can meet many wealthy young men, and maybe I'll find a rich husband. Oh, you wouldn't know who the big shots are," Park Xinyue said proudly.

"As for how to deal with the guy at the matchmaking session, I've already thought of a good plan."

At around 4 PM, under his mother's earnest gaze, Jin Yunhao obediently went out and arrived at the entrance of the old district subway station.

Jin Yunhao was very upset, extremely upset.

He could accept the matchmaking.

He could also accept standing outside on a hot summer day.

But the secret signal that Zheng Daqin arranged was something he couldn't accept at all.

What was the rose in his suit pocket supposed to be?

Using a rose in the suit pocket as a secret signal for a matchmaking meeting was too outdated.

The subway station had a very high foot traffic, and seeing the strange looks from passersby, Jin Yunhao felt extremely embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.

At 6 PM, an hour later than the agreed time, the matchmaking partner finally appeared—a girl about 165 cm tall, wearing high heels, hot pants, a tank top, and large sunglasses, making it impossible to see her face.

The girl Jin Yunhao was to meet was Park Xinyue, who had deliberately arrived late. She had hoped that Jin Yunhao would get impatient and leave, thus saving her the time of the matchmaking session.

But she didn't expect Jin Yunhao to have such good manners, standing outside in the heat for over an hour without leaving. Reluctantly, she appeared.

"Are you Jin Yunhao? Aunt Zheng Daqin's son?"

Park Xinyue's voice was clear, but it carried a tone of pride, which was very unpleasant.

Jin Yunhao's brows furrowed slightly. He now really disliked Park Xinyue, who was an hour late and didn't apologize or explain herself, which was very impolite. Moreover, speaking to a stranger while wearing sunglasses was also impolite.

He now had a very poor impression of Park Xinyue, but years of experience had given him good manners, so he patiently answered her question.

After a few words, four strangers dressed like thugs appeared beside them.

"Hey! You're not very considerate, are you? You're playing with a girl and didn't call your brothers," one of the thugs, wearing a tank top with tattoos on his arms, shouted at Jin Yunhao.

Jin Yunhao: "..."

The thugs seemed to be very familiar with Jin Yunhao, putting their arms around him and staring lecherously at Park Xinyue's white thighs, making 'tsk tsk' sounds.

Park Xinyue glared at the thugs and then shouted at Jin Yunhao with great disdain, "Disgusting, I never thought you were this kind of person! Goodbye!"

With that, she gave Jin Yunhao a dirty look and walked away in her high heels, 'clacking' as she went.

Seeing the girl leave, the thugs seemed to have had their fun and whistled a few times before leaving.

But the first thug, the one in the tank top, found that he couldn't leave. His wrist was tightly gripped by Jin Yunhao's hand, and he couldn't break free. He—was held back by Jin Yunhao!

"Hehe, you did a good job acting? Did she hire you?" Jin Yunhao glanced at the direction Park Xinyue had left and asked the thug in the tank top with a smile.

"Kid, you'd better let go. If you're missing any parts later, it won't look good," the thug in the tank top said menacingly.

At this moment, the other three thugs noticed the situation and returned, surrounding Jin Yunhao.

Surrounded by three burly thugs, Jin Yunhao was not at all nervous. He smiled confidently and continued, "Answer my question. Did the woman who just left hire you?"

"Looking for death!..." Seeing Jin Yunhao's arrogant attitude, the three thugs were furious and charged at him together.

Thud, thud, thud.

Jin Yunhao kicked out three times in a flash, and the three thugs fell to the ground, either twitching or moaning in pain.

He maintained his previous posture, one hand gripping the thug in the tank top's wrist, the other hand in his pocket, and said coolly, "Answer my question."

The thug in the tank top hadn't even seen how Jin Yunhao kicked, and his three subordinates were already on the ground. He knew he had met a tough opponent, and today's situation didn't look good.

But seeing his subordinates in pain, the thug in the tank top got angry. He endured the intense pain in his wrist and reached for a dagger at his waist, which he used for self-defense.

He planned to take Jin Yunhao down!

Thud.

Jin Yunhao kicked again.

This time, it was the thug in the tank top's turn. He knelt on one knee, his face contorted, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Jin Yunhao glanced at the dagger exposed at the thug's waist and said with a sneer, "If I were you, I wouldn't have any other ideas. How about it? Can you answer my question now?"

The thug in the tank top gritted his teeth and remained silent, not saying a word.

What a tough guy!

Jin Yunhao admired the thug's loyalty, but it was a pity that the thug had ended up in his hands today, and he had even tried to use a knife on him, which he couldn't tolerate.

If he didn't give them a taste of his power, they would really think he was Hello Kitty.

The fight started out of nowhere and was quite sudden.

But the thug in the tank top refused to speak, so Jin Yunhao had no choice but to drag it out.

Gradually, a crowd gathered around, and soon the subway station security guards arrived.

"What are you doing? Causing a disturbance? Fighting at the subway station entrance?" The security guard pushed through the crowd, drew his baton, and shouted at Jin Yunhao and the others.

Jin Yunhao didn't say anything, the thug in the tank top didn't say anything, and the three thugs on the ground were in too much pain to speak.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the security guard was a bit embarrassed.

"Hey, you, I'm talking to you. Why don't you let him go?" A security guard pointed at Jin Yunhao with his baton and shouted.

...

Second update, another update around 10 PM.
