In the living room.

Shu Tangyin sat on the sofa, watching TV absentmindedly.

Click.

As the living room door opened, Chen Yun returned from outside.

Shu Tangyin's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up to greet him, her voice filled with a hint of joy: "Chen Yun, you're back."

Chen Yun smiled: "Hmm, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shu Tangyin said sweetly, "I'm uneasy and can't sleep because you're not back."

As she spoke, she caught a whiff of alcohol on Chen Yun, along with a faint, almost imperceptible scent of women's perfume.

"Have you been drinking?"

Chen Yun said, "Yes, I attended a business cocktail party with a friend and Liang Chenglong."

Shu Tangyin couldn't help but ask, "Is your friend a woman?"

Chen Yun paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, her name is Long Pingting, and she lives next door to us. I'll introduce you to her later. She's a business prodigy; you can ask her for any business-related advice."

In Chen Yun's eyes, Long Pingting was his housekeeper, and Shu Tangyin was his future wife.

He has now retired.

However, he still holds a military rank, making it inappropriate for him to manage the business.

Therefore, Shu Tangyin will definitely have to help him manage his business in the future, and the business prodigy Long Pingting is undoubtedly Shu Tangyin's best teacher.

Unexpectedly, Shu Tangyin responded with a muffled "oh" after hearing his words.

Chen Yun was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant, suppressed a laugh, and asked softly, "Are you jealous?"

Shu Tangyin's pretty face instantly turned red, and she repeatedly denied it: "No way, I'm not jealous at all. I just smelled a woman's fragrance on you and was just asking out of curiosity. Who said I was jealous..."

It would have been better if she hadn't explained.

Her nervous explanation made it clear to anyone that she was jealous.

Shu Tangyin also felt that her reaction was too strong. Seeing Chen Yun looking at her with a smile, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. She stomped her feet and turned to run back to her room.

Chen Yun reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Shu Tangyin raised her head, just about to speak.

Chen Yun had already bent down to kiss him.

Shu Tangyin shuddered as if electrocuted, then closed her eyes...

A moment later.

After separating from Shu Tangyin, Chen Yun smiled and asked, "Are you still jealous now?"

Shu Tangyin blushed and shook her head shyly.

Chen Yun reached out and pinched Shu Tangyin's nose, and said softly, "Remember, you don't need to be jealous of anyone, because in my heart there is only you."

Shu Tangyin said shyly, "Mmm!"

Chen Yun added, "Long Pingting is an orphan my mother adopted back then. She treated my mother as her own mother and me as her younger brother, just like family."

Shu Tangyin blushed and said, "Chen Yun, I'm sorry. I smelled alcohol and women's perfume on you just now, and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. I should have known that you couldn't be the kind of womanizer."

Chen Yun smiled and was about to speak.

Just then, a barely audible strange noise came from the courtyard outside.

It was the soft sound of someone stepping on fallen leaves in the courtyard, even softer than the sound of a raccoon walking.

Most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

But this slight noise sounded to Chen Yun like a blaring alarm bell!

Someone bypassed all the surveillance cameras on the villa's walls and sneaked in.

Assassin!

Chen Yun's narrow eyes narrowed instantly, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in them.

He whispered in Shu Tangyin's ear, "An uninvited guest has broken into our family courtyard. Go into your parents' room and hide with them. Remember not to turn on the lights and don't stand out by the window. I'll handle the rest."

Upon hearing this, Shu Tangyin's expression changed drastically, and she subconsciously tried to look towards the courtyard outside.

Chen Yun said in a low voice, "Don't look, just do as I say."

"Then you must be careful!" Shu Tangyin bit her lip and told Chen Yun to be careful before pretending to be nonchalant and entering her parents' room.

Seeing that Shu Tangyin had gone back to her room to hide, Chen Yun walked straight out of the house and into the courtyard.

Under the pale moonlight, the shadows of the trees swayed in the courtyard, and not a single person could be seen.

Chen Yun, however, slowly took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke before saying indifferently, "You guys are really in high spirits, coming to my house in the middle of the night to play hide-and-seek?"

The courtyard was quiet, with only Chen Yun's voice echoing.

Chen Yun curled her lip: "Are you five addicted to hiding?"

This sentence was spoken.

A figure immediately appeared behind the trees!

Following that, several more figures appeared from the flower beds, behind the corners of the walls, and other places.

The number of people was exactly the same as the five Chen Yun had mentioned.

The five assassins were of different builds and wore black hoods, revealing only their eyes.

Under the moonlight, all five of them looked on in shock.

They really couldn't understand how Chen Yun had discovered their intrusion in the middle of the night.

Moreover, Chen Yun could accurately state their number!

Could it be that there are surveillance cameras they haven't discovered?

Chen Yun looked at the five assassins of varying builds in front of him and said calmly, "Do you know that disturbing me while I'm kissing and being intimate with my wife is a capital offense!"

The five assassins' eyes changed simultaneously, filled with shock and anger.

Chen Yun took a drag of his cigarette and said calmly, "Tell me your origins and who sent you. If you tell the truth, I might spare your lives!"

Upon hearing this, the five assassins flew into a rage.

A short, thin man muttered "Baka!" under his breath, then drew a katana and charged towards Chen Yun with lightning speed. With a leaping slash, the katana cleaved down towards Chen Yun's brow.

"Japanese samurai?"

With a cigarette between his right and his left, Chen Yun reached out and grabbed the other man's katana.

With a forceful snap of your five fingers!

Snap!

The thin, sharp samurai sword shattered like broken glass in Chen Yun's hands.

The moment Chen Yun crushed the samurai sword, he casually caught a piece of the shard amidst the flying fragments, and then tossed it aside.

The flying fragments slashed through the Japanese samurai's carotid artery, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"ah!"

The Japanese samurai let out a strange cry, clutched his neck, turned and ran, taking off at breakneck speed. He quickly scaled the wall and disappeared from sight.

Chen Yun showed no intention of pursuing him.

The shards of the samurai sword had already severed the man's carotid artery, making it impossible to stop the bleeding. He would bleed to death in just a few minutes.

The other four assassins stared at Chen Yun in shock.

They were all top-tier assassins, and they knew beforehand that their target was extremely powerful.

However, Chen Yun's strength far exceeded their expectations.

He defeated one of their companions in one move, and in an instant, fear filled the eyes of the people behind their black hoods as they looked at Chen Yun.

Chen Yun slowly smoked his cigarette, looking at the remaining four people.

He figured it out.

These assassins came from different regions; the one from before was a Japanese samurai, and the remaining four are...

Judging from the color of their eyes, they include white people, black people, and people from Southeast Asia.

At first, Chen Yun thought that these assassins were sent by Xiao Wenwei.

But now it doesn't seem quite like it.

He couldn't help but recall what Old Qin had told him last night: that foreign enemies wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

They even sent the king of assassins, Asura, to infiltrate the country and assassinate him.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at the four remaining men in front of him, and slowly said, "Which of you is Asura, the King of Assassins?"
