Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin drove home.

Shu Xinyuan and Xu Yuehua were having dinner.

Xu Yuehua said, "Why are you two so late? Have you eaten? If not, come and eat right away."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Mom, we've already eaten, you guys eat!"

He had just finished speaking when his phone rang.

It was the butcher who called.

Chen Yun then went outside to the balcony to answer the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Butcher's deep voice came through the phone: "Boss, I've checked. The five ninjas who ambushed you tonight were all from the Chrysanthemum Sword Society. They were definitely sent by Tanaka Yu."

"We are now conducting a full-scale manhunt for Tanaka Yu!"

Chen Yun said calmly, "Okay, report to me immediately if there is any news."

The butcher replied, "Yes, boss!"

At this time.

Chen Yun stood on the balcony and saw the courtyard gate slowly open, and a beautiful woman dressed in black with long black hair walked in unhurriedly.

It was Long Pingting, who lived next door, who came.

Chen Yun told the butcher on the phone to keep in touch anytime, and then hung up.

He returned to the living room.

Long Pingting also came in through the door.

"Young Master!"

Long Pingting greeted Chen Yun respectfully upon seeing him.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Xiao Ting is here!"

At this moment, Shu Tangyin, who had been talking to her parents, also came out of the dining room, along with her parents.

Long Pingting then said, "Hello, Miss Shu, hello, Uncle and Aunt!"

Shu Tangyin hurriedly said, "Mr. Long, you're too kind."

Mr. and Mrs. Shu Xinyuan also greeted Long Pingting.

Xu Yuehua also asked warmly, "Miss Long, we are eating now. Have you eaten? Would you like me to get you a bowl of rice and have some with us?"

Long Pingting had just returned from the company and hadn't eaten yet!

However, she instinctively wanted to politely decline.

I was just about to say that I had already eaten.

Before she could even finish speaking, her stomach growled twice from hunger.

She blushed instantly!

I wanted to say that I had eaten it, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Seeing this, Chen Yun laughed and said, "No need to ask, they definitely haven't eaten. Tangyin, get Xiaoting a bowl of rice, and we'll eat with Mom and Dad and Xiaoting too."

Shu Tangyin smiled and said, "Okay!"

In Long Pingting's eyes, she was Chen Yun's maid and housekeeper, while Shu Tangyin was the future young mistress.

Seeing that Shu Tangyin was personally serving her food, she quickly said, "How can you do this?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "This is our own home, we're all family, no need for formalities. Come on, let's go sit down and have a meal."

The group went to the living room and sat down to eat.

The meal wasn't lavish; it was just a simple home-style stir-fry.

But this is the atmosphere of home.

This deeply moved Long Pingting.

She was an orphan from a young age and only experienced the warmth of a family when she was adopted by Chen Yun's mother.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived. Chen Yun's mother passed away early, causing her to lose happiness once again.

I have been working hard in Hong Kong for more than ten years.

She earned a lot of money, but she always lacked the companionship of her relatives and the warmth of her family.

And this meal right now.

But it allowed her to relive the feeling of home!

Chen Yun gently scolded, "What have you been so busy with lately? You haven't eaten yet, it's so late?"

Long Pingting smiled and said, "I'm busy with company matters!"

Speaking of this, she remembered the purpose of her visit tonight and quickly said, "By the way, I came here tonight to discuss something with Miss Shu."

Shu Tangyin asked curiously, "What is it?"

Long Pingting smiled and said, "Here's the thing: our Zhonglong Group is going to Ningcheng tomorrow to participate in the Nanyang Expo, and we can recommend a partner company to participate as well."

"I'm planning to recommend your Shu Company and invite Mr. Chen and Ms. Shu to come along. What do you think?"

The Nanyang Expo is an international trade and economic exchange event held in Ningcheng by a group of countries in Southeast Asia.

The purpose is to promote exchanges and economic and trade cooperation within the field.

Companies that participate in such exchange meetings are basically there with the intention of doing business, so it's not surprising that they secure orders worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of yuan.

Zhonglong Group was established not long ago.

But they secured the China Shipping deep-water port.

It had already gained a pivotal position in the South, and was therefore invited to participate in the Nanyang Exposition.

They are also eligible to bring a competitor company to participate.

Long Pingting naturally wouldn't let such a good thing go to outsiders, and the first person she thought of was Shu Tangyin.

Shu Tangyin knew about the Nanyang Expo, but she never dreamed that her company, Shu's, would have the opportunity to participate.

For a moment, she was flattered and excitedly asked, "Miss Long, our Shu Corporation is just a small company, can we really participate?"

Long Pingting smiled and said, "Of course! Miss Shu, don't underestimate your Shu Corporation just because it's not very big right now. As long as you secure a few big orders at the expo, and then raise more funds to expand, you'll be able to soar to new heights!"

Shu Tangyin said confidently, "Okay, I will definitely work hard and live up to Miss Long's good intentions!"

After saying that.

She turned to Chen Yun and said, "Chen Yun, will you come with me to Ningcheng tomorrow to attend the Nanyang Expo?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Okay!"

the next day.

Shu Tangyin, accompanied by her secretary Ma Xiaowei, several supervisors, Chen Yun, Lai Fu, and Fengzi, set off to participate in the Nanyang Expo.

The group arrived at the airport.

They joined up with the dozens of members of the Zhonglong Group team led by Long Pingting.

They boarded Zhonglong Group's private jet and flew directly to Ningcheng.

Not long after.

The plane landed at Ningcheng Airport.

Just got off the plane.

However, they found that the entire airport was under lockdown.

In addition, there was a tall and imposing general, leading hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, who lined up in front of the plane to welcome Chen Yun and his party.

Chen Yun and his group had just stepped off the plane's gangway.

The general snapped to attention and saluted: "Greetings, Commander! Welcome to Ningcheng to guide our work!"

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers saluted in unison: "Welcome, Commander!"

This spectacle not only startled Shu Tangyin and the others, but also stunned Long Pingting and the executives of Zhonglong Group.

Whether it's Shu Tangyin or Long Pingting, they are both businesspeople.

Naturally, he wouldn't be called a leader, nor would he receive such a welcoming reception.

The only explanation is that this welcoming party was there for Chen Yun!

For a moment, Shu Tangyin, Long Pingting, and the others all looked at Chen Yun, their faces filled with shock.

Chen Yun frowned slightly, displeased.

He cursed inwardly at that bastard for notifying Ning Cheng that he was coming and making such a big welcome.

He looked at the general leading the welcoming party and asked, "What's your name?"

The general hurriedly replied, "Reporting, I am a colonel from the Jiangnan Army's Ningcheng base, named Liu Dashun. In the coming days, I will be responsible for maintaining order in Ningcheng and protecting the dignitaries and merchants from various Southeast Asian countries who are attending the Nanyang Expo."

"When the higher-ups learned that you, sir, were attending the expo, they specially sent me to welcome you and instructed me to provide full protection so that nothing could go wrong."

It turns out that news of Chen Yun's assassination attempt by the Five Ghost Ninjas last night has already spread to higher-ups.

The higher-ups demanded that Chen Yun be given stronger protection.

Therefore, when Ningcheng learned that Chen Yun was coming, they sent Liu Dashun to lead a team to welcome him and planned to protect him throughout the process.

Chen Yun said unhappily, "Why be so ostentatious?"

"Disperse everyone and lift martial law immediately."

"You must not reveal my identity, and you are not allowed to treat me specially, or I will hold you responsible!"

Liu Dashun was stunned upon hearing this, and hurriedly replied, "Yes!"

After saying this, he quickly left with his men and ordered the lifting of martial law.

Even so.

The people from Shu's Company and Zhonglong Group looked at Chen Yun with eyes full of shock and admiration!

The group arrived at Ningcheng International Hotel.

This hotel was one of the hotels used by the organizers of the Nanyang Expo to entertain VIPs.

And it's reserved for entertaining the most important guests!

Those who can stay at this hotel are basically dignitaries from Southeast Asian countries who are attending the expo, or CEOs of large corporations.

Logically speaking, the Shu family company was not qualified to stay at the Ningcheng International Hotel, but thanks to Chen Yun, they were not only arranged to stay there, but also in the best presidential suite.

After settling into the room!

Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin, along with Crazy and Laifu, arrived at the hotel restaurant.

Time to eat something!

They had just entered the restaurant.

Then I saw a heavily made-up, jewel-encrusted beauty walking towards me, accompanied by a group of bodyguards in suits.

Shu Tangyin frowned slightly when she saw the heavily made-up woman.

Because she recognized the woman; her name was Zhu Qiqi, and she was the president of Zhu's Company!

Many years ago, Zhu's Company and Shu's Company were competitors.

Those in the same trade are enemies!

Therefore, the relationship between the Zhu family and the Shu family was extremely bad, to the point of being irreconcilable.

However, three years ago, Zhu's company moved to Ningcheng for development, and it is said that it has developed quite well, growing from a small company with a scale of several hundred million to a medium-sized company with a scale of several billion.

The Shu family company is now only worth a few hundred million, which is no longer comparable to the Zhu family company.

Shu Tangyin never expected to run into Zhu Qiqi here!

At this moment, Zhu Qiqi also saw Shu Tangyin. She was stunned at first, then sneered and mocked, "Heh, isn't this the second young lady of the Shu family, Shu Tangyin? How come you, you piece of trash, are here? With your Shu family's small, shabby company, do you even have the qualifications to participate in the Nanyang Expo?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Tangyin's pretty face turned frosty, and she was about to speak.

But Chen Yun, who was beside her, got angry first.

Chen Yun stared coldly at Zhu Qiqi, his expression indifferent, and said, "Where did this dung beetle come from? Your mouth stinks! Laifu, slap her!"

Lai Fu replied in a deep voice, "Yes, Young Master Chen!"
