Upon hearing this, the butcher looked at Chen Yun in surprise: "Boss, why do you suddenly want to go back to the Northern Army to see Elder Qin?"

The doctor and Xu Zhengwei, who were standing nearby, also looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

I just said that Shi Hu might have already escaped.

Chen Yun was about to go see Elder Qin.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Shi Hu really escaped by hiding in Qin Lu's car today?

Some even suspected that Chen Yun might have already sensed something was wrong at that time.

Chen Yun looked at the butcher and the others, whose faces were full of surprise and doubt, and said irritably, "What's with those expressions? Today is Old Qin's birthday!"

The butcher suddenly realized what he meant.

Old Qin never celebrates his birthday; he usually spends it in the military as usual.

When Chen Yun served as the commander of the Northern Army.

Every time it's Mr. Qin's birthday, I'll go quietly and have a couple of drinks with him.

Today is Mr. Qin's birthday.

Moreover, it was probably Qin Lu's words, such as "You are my father's second son," that made Chen Yun miss his mentor.

That's why I made the last-minute decision to return to the Northern Army to visit Old Qin!

Thinking this through, the butcher immediately said, "Boss, please wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away!"

Chen Yun nodded slightly: "Go!"

...

The capital city.

The Chen Family Mansion.

The living room was antique and magnificent.

With graying temples and a sickly appearance, Chen Rulong sat in a grand chair, coughing occasionally.

The butler, Luo Changgui, stood respectfully behind him.

Xiao Wenwei, dressed in a red peony-patterned fitted cheongsam and wearing high heels, paced anxiously in front of Chen Rulong, muttering to herself, "Why is there still no news? Why is there still no news?"

Sudden.

Her phone rang.

Although she hadn't saved the phone number in her contacts, she recognized it as a call from her lover, Qin Lu, as soon as she saw the familiar number.

His face lit up with joy, and he quickly answered the phone.

Chen Rulong, who had just picked up his teacup to drink tea, froze slightly. His expression remained calm, but a chilling resentment flashed in his eyes.

However, reason forced him to suppress this resentment.

His eyes regained their calm.

He seemed to know nothing at all.

He continued to hold his teacup, taking small sips of tea.

Xiao Wenwei answered the phone with great anticipation, but the person on the other end hung up after only a few words.

Her smile froze, and her expression turned extremely unpleasant.

Seeing this, Chen Rulong knew that Xiao Wenwei's attempt to find someone to deal with Chen Yun had failed, and she had messed up the whole thing by failing to rescue Chen Kai.

He suddenly felt a great sense of satisfaction!

He thought to himself: Heh, only my eldest son Chen Yun can deal with you bunch of demons and monsters!

I would rather give my family fortune to Chen Yun than let it fall into the hands of you two scoundrels!

He felt a surge of satisfaction, but feigned concern and asked, "How did it go? Were the people you found able to rescue Xiao Kai?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenwei subconsciously gripped her phone tighter, but ultimately could only admit defeat, slowly saying, "We couldn't handle Chen Yun, Xiao Kai is still in Chen Yun's hands!"

Chen Rulong sighed and said calmly, "Now is the time for Chen Yun's ultimatum. Whether or not to use the subsidiary to exchange for Xiao Kai is your decision! So that you won't always suspect that I conspired with Chen Yun to transfer assets to him!"

Xiao Wenwei's chest heaved rapidly.

It's obvious that Chen Rulong is getting the better deal but acting innocent!

I'm so angry!

But she also knew that now was not the time to be angry with Chen Rulong.

The son is still in Chen Yun's hands!

Given Chen Yun's personality, if the Chen family fails to fulfill their promise and transfer the shares of their subsidiary, worth hundreds of billions, to Long Pingting's name, it would be a serious matter.

Her son's life will likely be lost in Zhonghai.

Even though she was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to compromise at this moment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I will sign the share transfer agreement with the master and transfer the shares of Tianhong subsidiary to Long Pingting in exchange for my son."

Chen Rulong said, "This is your own decision, so don't blame me later!"

Xiao Wenwei's face turned ashen: "Hmph!"

...

Zhonghai City.

Chen Yun received a call from Long Pingting.

"Young Master, just now, the Chen family transferred the shares of Tianhong Company to my name."

Chen Yun chuckled: "Heh, that couple is quite generous! I was thinking that if they didn't keep their promise, I would just kill that good-for-nothing Chen Kai!"

Long Pingting asked, "Young Master, are we really going to release that bastard Chen Kai?"

Chen Yun said with a faint smile, "They've already paid a hundred billion to redeem their lives. It would be rather unethical of us to take the money and not release them."

Long Pingting said, "But this guy is your mortal enemy. Wouldn't it be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains if we let him go?"

Chen Yun said casually, "He's a tiger? In my eyes, he's just a dog! I can outmaneuver him once or twice, and I can outmaneuver him countless times."

"Besides, if he falls into my hands again, it won't be as simple as just a hundred billion."

Long Pingting thought about it and agreed. It would be a bit unethical to take the money and not release the person.

And it will also push the Chen family to the brink.

This could very well disrupt the young master's strategy of gradually eroding the Chen family's assets.

She then said, "In that case, let's let that bastard Chen Kai off the hook for now!"

At that very moment.

The butcher walked into the food stall from outside and said to Chen Yun, "Boss, the helicopter is ready and has landed on the rooftop of the nearby financial building. It's just waiting for you to depart."

Chen Yun said to Long Pingting on the phone, "I have something to do, I have to go now."

Hang up the phone.

He then greeted Shu Lingyue, Xia Yue, Xu Zhengwei, Lin Le, and others, telling them to go back first.

He then went to the financial building alone and took the elevator to the rooftop.

A large military helicopter was already waiting for him.

He boarded the helicopter.

The helicopter sputtered into the air and flew north at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour...

Three hours later.

The helicopter arrived at the Northern Army headquarters.

It descended slowly.

It was already past 9 p.m.

The headquarters was quiet.

Apart from the soldiers on guard duty, there was hardly anyone moving around.

A soldier on guard duty suddenly saw Chen Yun getting off the helicopter. His eyes widened in surprise, and he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

However, because he was on guard duty, he forced himself to control his emotions and simply raised his hand to give Chen Yun a quick military salute.

Chen Yun raised his hand and returned the salute.

"Where is Elder Qin?"

The soldier shouted, "Report! Old Qin is in his office."

Chen Yun nodded.

He strode towards the office building.

The surroundings were quiet, with no one moving around, and not even many soldiers on guard duty.

actually!

There are hidden sentries everywhere around here.

Chen Yun walked over.

The sentry soldiers standing in the darkness all silently raised their hands in salute when they saw Chen Yun.

Chen Yun walked smoothly into the comprehensive office building and arrived at the door of Qin Lao's office.

Just then, they saw Qin Lao's bodyguard captain, Gao Ping, fleeing from the office looking disheveled.

Qin Lao's angry voice could still be heard from inside the office: "Get out! Let me have some peace and quiet. It's best not to bother me unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Gao Ping was stunned when he came out of his office and saw Chen Yun.

Just about to speak?

Chen Yun waved his hand and said softly, "Go ahead and do your thing, I'm going to have a chat with Old Qin."

After saying that, he went into the office.

In the office.

Old Qin was supporting his forehead with his hand, his face full of frustration.

Suddenly I heard footsteps.

Because it was the guard captain Gao Ping who had returned, he couldn't help but look up and curse, "Didn't I tell you to let me have some peace and quiet and not to bother me unless it's necessary... Oh, it's Chen Yun, you're back!"

When Qin Lao saw that the person in front of him was Chen Yun, his anger immediately turned into joy.

His joyful expression was like that of an elderly person left behind who suddenly saw their son, who had been away for many years, come back to visit them!
