On the airplane.

Qi Yuanyang was sleeping when he vaguely heard someone next to him say that they had arrived.

He opened his eyes.

He was still sleepy-eyed and looked completely dazed.

What's here?

I glanced out the plane window and suddenly realized that the plane had already landed at the airport.

He was stunned.

So fast?

Have I been asleep for that long?

Just then, a flight attendant came over with two crew members and said with a smile, "Sir, you've disembarked."

Qi Yuanyang had just woken up and was still a little dazed. He subconsciously got up and followed the flight attendants and others off the plane.

However, they did not notice the flight attendant's subtle gesture indicating to the other first-class passengers to remain seated and not move around!

As Qi Yuanyang stepped off the plane down the gangway, the buildings around the airport made him feel that something was wrong.

These familiar architectural styles are right before our eyes!

And those Chinese characters that can be seen everywhere around us!

This is hardly a foreign airport.

This is basically a domestic airport!

Qi Yuanyang's expression changed drastically. He turned around and looked at the flight attendant behind him, saying in shock and anger, "No! This isn't the flight's destination at all! Where the hell have you taken me? Get your supervisor out here right now..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet!

A large number of soldiers dressed in camouflage and armed with guns appeared around them.

They pinned him down right away.

Immediately afterward, to his astonishment, the butcher and the doctor approached.

Slap! Slap!

The butcher raised his hand and slapped Qi Yuanyang twice across the face, causing Qi Yuanyang's mouth to be full of blood.

"Qi Yuanyang, you've been arrested. I'm the person in charge of this arrest operation. You can talk to me about it."

The butcher said coldly.

Qi Yuanyang had sensed danger and used his son's funeral as cover to secretly board a plane and escape.

He never dreamed that the plane that had taken off would actually be able to return!

Being arrested at this moment, his heart sank to the bottom, and he was in utter despair.

His face was ashen, and he remained silent.

The doctor brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled sweetly: "Nothing to say, nothing to explain? That's alright. We two may not have many other skills, but we're best at prying open the mouths of stubborn people like you!"

With that, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers on the scene: "Take them away!"

...

Night falls and the city lights come on.

Villa No. 1 on the island in the middle of the lake.

Chen Yun was having dinner with Shu Tangyin, Shu Xinyuan, and Xu Yuehua.

Suddenly, I received a call from the butcher.

He got up, went to the balcony, and answered the phone.

The butcher's voice came through the phone: "Boss, one good news and one bad news."

Chen Yun said, "Let's start with the good news!"

The butcher said, "After repeated questioning by me and the doctor, Qi Yuanyang couldn't take it anymore and confessed. He is indeed a member of the Black Spirit Organization, with a middle-ranking position, and he even gave away the list of all his subordinates."

Chen Yun said with satisfaction, "Great! We can pick people according to the list now. This is a good start and a milestone achievement. It also gives Elder Qin a satisfactory answer."

The butcher said, "The bad news is that Qi Yuanyang had a heart condition and couldn't withstand the torture; he suddenly died."

Chen Yun was taken aback: "What? What are you guys doing?"

The butcher said weakly, "We were in a hurry to interrogate him and didn't give him a full physical examination. We didn't expect that he had underlying health conditions. We didn't hold back and hurt him, which caused him to collapse. We couldn't save him even with emergency treatment."

At this point, fearing Chen Yun would get angry, he quickly added, "But when this guy kicked the bucket, he had actually told us almost everything he knew."

“The Black Spirit organization has a meticulous structure. He has revealed all his subordinates, but he knows very little about his superiors.”

All we know is that he follows the orders of a mysterious Mr. Lu, and only Mr. Lu contacts him; he can't reach Mr. Lu himself.

"In addition, he sometimes goes to the Cloud Palace Clubhouse to see a woman named Xia Yue!"

Chen Yun said, "Immediately send people to seal off the Cloud Palace and arrest this Xia Yue."

The butcher said, "Boss, this won't work!"

"First of all, Qi Yuanyang is dead, and there is no evidence to prove that Xia Yue is guilty."

"Secondly, this summer month is for foreigners!"

“Even if we find a reason to arrest her, they will definitely use diplomatic means to force us to release her.”

"If we rashly arrest her and cannot prove Xia Yue's guilt in a short time, then the only outcome will be to release her, or at most deport her. That would be too lenient on her."

Chen Yun frowned slightly.

He couldn't help but recall what Old Qin had told him: "Kid, our department is all about evidence and rules, but you're a troublemaker, you don't need to follow so many rules!"

Chen Yun instructed the butcher: "Here's what we'll do! You and the doctor will handle the contacts that Qi Yuanyang has identified. You'll arrest them according to the list!"

"This summer moon in the Heavenly Palace in the clouds!"

"Leave it to me and the madman to handle."

The butcher replied, "Yes, boss!"

Hang up the phone.

Chen Yun pondered to himself, realizing that the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds was in the provincial capital, and that he would probably have to make a trip there.

He returned to the house, sat down again in the dining room, and was about to tell Shu Tangyin and the others that he was planning to go to the provincial capital soon.

Unexpectedly, Shu Tangyin spoke first: "Chen Yun, there's something I forgot to tell you. This afternoon, I received a call from Grandpa saying that a relative in the provincial capital is getting married and has invited our entire Shu family to attend the wedding."

"Do you want to come with me?"

"If you don't want to attend these social events, then you may have to cook for yourself at home for the next two days."

Chen Yun was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Since I'm just killing time anyway, and everyone's going, I don't want to stay home alone. I'll join in the fun!"

"And invite Crazy, Lai Fu, Lin Le and a few other friends as well."

"Just consider it a two-day trip for relatives and friends!"

Shu Tangyin originally thought that Chen Yun would not attend such a social event, but unexpectedly Chen Yun agreed to go together and even invited a few friends to have a good time for two days.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Great! It's been many years since I've been to the provincial capital for a visit. This is a good opportunity for our whole family to take a look around!"

Shu Xinyuan and Xu Yuehua were also full of expectations.

Little did they know, Chen Yun's true intentions were not what they seemed. On the surface, he was going to enjoy the scenery and attend the wedding, but in reality, he was heading to the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds, or more accurately, to see the woman named Xia Yue!

Have dinner.

Chen Yun then called Lin Le, Crazy, and Lai Fu, telling them to get ready to come with him to the provincial capital the next day!

Lin Le, Crazy, and Lai Fu understood each other perfectly, knowing that this trip was definitely related to a mission, and they all agreed.

the next day!

Early morning.

Lin Le, Crazy, and Lai Fu drove to Chen Yun's house early to report for duty!

Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Shu arrived with Shu Lingyue and the others to join them.

Then we set off together for the provincial capital...
