Shu Lingyue escaped in her BMW, but little did she know that her nightmare had only just begun.

She had just driven back to her doorstep.

Then I discovered that there were several Toyota Hiaces parked at the entrance!

Isn't this the same car driven by Gao Yaohua, the loan shark king, and his henchmen?

She immediately became alert.

Just then, she noticed a group of thugs with tattoos and swearing coming out of her house.

This terrified her, and before the thugs could spot her, she quickly drove away.

After confirming that no thugs were chasing her, she pulled over, still shaken, and then called her father, Shu Haiqiang.

The call connected quickly, and her father's low, reproachful voice came through the phone: "Xiaoyue, what have you done? Just now, Gao Yaohua, the loan shark, sent a bunch of thugs to our house looking for you, saying they'd kill you if they caught you! How did you offend these ruthless gangsters?"

Shu Lingyue said with great grievance, "The son of the Prince Guili harassed me and was taught a lesson by Chen Yun. The Prince Guili came to cause trouble for me, and when I was driving away, I think I ran over his foot..."

What?

They crushed the nobleman's foot?!

Shu Haiqiang was completely bewildered when he heard this.

Shu Lingyue retorted indignantly, "It was his son who started it, so he deserved to be beaten. How dare he come looking for trouble with me! If he hadn't tried to scare me, would I have been able to drive away and run over his foot?"

After saying that, she asked again, "Dad, have those thugs left yet? If they have, I'll go home now."

Shu Haiqiang hurriedly whispered, "No! It seems they left one or two thugs to keep watch outside our door. You absolutely mustn't come back! If you come back, the moment you step inside, Guili Wang will be right behind you."

Can't even go home anymore?

Shu Lingyue's face turned pale, and she said angrily, "I'm calling the police!"

Shu Haiqiang said with a wry smile, "Silly child, you're the one who hit someone's son, you're the one who ran over someone's foot with your car, what's the use of calling the police? Besides, Guili Wang is searching the whole city for you right now. As long as you show up, he will definitely retaliate against you. At worst, he can just send a few of his underlings to take the blame later."

Shu Lingyue's heart sank; she began to realize that things were far more serious than she had imagined.

After a two-second silence, she slowly asked, "Dad, what should I do now?"

Shu Haiqiang sighed, "Although our Shu family has some money, we are a respectable family. Guili Wang and his men are all ruthless and desperate criminals, even more so than the Li family. What can I do?"

"The only advice I can give you is to never fall into the hands of the loan sharks. Either go to another place to lay low for a while, or you can ask Young Master Tang for help. Perhaps the Tang family can talk to the loan sharks and settle things."

Shu Lingyue took a deep breath: "Dad, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, she was about to call a friend for help.

But without realizing it, she saw in the rearview mirror that several thugs with dyed hair were heading towards her car!

Are they under the command of the nobleman?

Although Shu Lingyue was unsure, she dared not gamble at all, so she stepped on the gas without hesitation and drove away.

Sure enough, the thugs in the rearview mirror were furious and chased after her car, hurling insults at her.

For the next half day, she became extremely nervous.

She went to her best friend's house for help. Her friend agreed to help, but while pouring her water, she secretly called Guili Wang from the kitchen: "Boss Gao, Shu Lingyue really came to my house... You sent someone to warn me, how could I dare to take her in? I'm keeping her calm now, please send someone over to arrest her quickly..."

Shu Lingyue, who was about to go to the toilet, overheard her best friend making a phone call, which gave her the creeps.

Without saying goodbye, he grabbed his bag, went out, and ran away.

Next, she went to the train station and the airport, and surprisingly, she found traces of Guili Wang's men there!

Just as her father said, she was hunted down by the entire city.

To avoid revealing her whereabouts, she dared not go to public places, hotels, or even restaurants.

And so, seeing enemies everywhere, they hid until nightfall.

She drove to a dimly lit overpass, where her car ran out of gas and stalled.

She, who usually considers herself very strong, couldn't help but cry with grievance at this moment.

She cried for a while before she slowly calmed down and took out her phone to call Tang Mingxuan.

In her view, none of her relatives and friends could help her now, and if anyone could help her, it could only be Tang Mingxuan.

Tang Mingxuan is her only remaining chance.

Finally, the call went through.

Shu Lingyue was like a drowning person grabbing a lifebuoy; she excitedly told the whole story in one go.

Then, with a sob in her voice, she pleaded, "Young Master Tang, you're the only one who can help me now. If you don't help me, I'll suffer a terrible fate!"

She thought Tang Mingxuan would help her, after all, Tang Mingxuan had been pursuing her.

To her utter surprise, Tang Mingxuan weakly replied, "Miss Shu, Guili Wang is a notorious mad dog in the underworld, and he also employs a group of desperados. No one dares to offend him. How can I help you?"

Without realizing it, Tang Mingxuan had changed his way of addressing her from Lingyue to Miss Shu.

Shu Lingyue sensed the change in Tang Mingxuan's attitude and understood her current dangerous situation even more. She said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Tang, please beg your uncle again, please ask him to save me one more time..."

Tang Mingxuan said, "Miss Shu, you don't know this, but I have a lowly status in the Tang family. Not to mention me, even my father doesn't have much influence in front of my uncle!"

Shu Lingyue was stunned upon hearing this: "But didn't you ask your uncle to help us several times? He helped us deal with the Black Tiger Gang, helped us get back the money we owed, and even helped us teach Lu Hailong and the others a lesson..."

Tang Mingxuan interrupted again: "This has nothing to do with me. I didn't ask my uncle for help, and my uncle would never give me a second thought!"

Shu Lingyue was stunned.

She suddenly remembered that at the entrance of the Deer Garden Hotel today, she kept saying that Tang Mingxuan had helped her several times and even asked Chen Yun to be more polite to Tang Mingxuan!

At the time, Chen Yun refuted this, saying that everything was done by Lao Tang, so what did it have to do with Tang Mingxuan?

She even called Chen Yun an ungrateful wretch!

Hearing Tang Mingxuan admit that it had nothing to do with him, she still couldn't accept it and said in a trembling voice, "Impossible. Our Shu family has no relationship with Boss Tang. If you hadn't asked, why would Boss Tang have helped us time and time again?"

Tang Mingxuan told the truth: "Actually, it's because of Mr. Chen!"

Mr. Chen?

Shu Lingyue was taken aback: "Chen Yun?"

Tang Mingxuan said, "That's right! My uncle helped you several times because of Mr. Chen. Didn't you notice that my uncle always behaved very respectfully when he met Mr. Chen?"

Shu Lingyue's heart skipped a beat.

That's right!

She had noticed this before!

Boss Tang was too polite to Chen Yun, sometimes even giving the impression of fawning over him!

She had sensed something was off before, but hadn't thought much of it.

Unexpectedly, Boss Tang's repeated acts of assistance were all due to Chen Yun.

But she thought it was Tang Mingxuan's doing, and even insulted Chen Yun today!

In an instant, her feelings became extremely complicated.

She asked in a trembling voice, "What exactly is Chen Yun's identity?"

Tang Mingxuan said, "I can't say. If I do, my uncle will definitely skin me alive and kick me out of the Tang family."

Shu Lingyue was so shocked by what she heard that her mouth dropped open.

Tang Mingxuan continued, "Your current situation is very dangerous, and I can't help you, but I can tell you that there is someone who definitely has the ability to help you, and it would be a piece of cake for him. That person is Mr. Chen!"

Shu Lingyue trembled upon hearing this.

Tang Mingxuan said, "That's all I can do to help you. Whether you can get Mr. Chen to help you depends on yourself."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

...

In the darkness of night.

In a rented room in Haitang Urban Village.

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

Shu Tangyin picked up a piece of food and put it in Chen Yun's bowl, saying, "Chen Yun, you've been running around for me these past two days, you've really worked hard."

Chen Yun smiled and shook his head.

Shu Tangyin said smugly, "But don't worry, I won't forget your contributions. When I'm reinstated as the company's supervisor tomorrow, I'll arrange for you to be my assistant, and I'll even have the finance department pay you the highest salary. Isn't that generous enough?"

Chen Yun smiled, nodded, and continued eating.

Shu Xinyuan has grown increasingly appreciative and satisfied with Chen Yun over the past few days.

He intended to match his daughter with Chen Yun, so he jokingly said, "Chen Yun is our family's benefactor and lucky star. You only arranged one job for our benefactor? Isn't that a bit insufficient?"

Shu Tangyin wrinkled her nose: "Dad, do you have any good suggestions?"

Shu Xinyuan smiled slightly: "I'm a rather traditional person. I think the most appropriate way for a girl to repay a debt of gratitude is to offer herself to the other person."

Shu Tangyin's cheeks flushed instantly, and she protested, "Dad!"

Chen Yun was both amused and exasperated by Shu Xinyuan's words, but he also realized that Shu Xinyuan truly valued him!

He was about to say something.

But then, his phone suddenly rang...
