After Zhang Yanqing and his group left with Qin Lu.

Although the operation to capture the remaining members of the Black Spirit organization was still ongoing, Chen Yun ordered Butcher and Xu Zhengwei to lift the martial law in Zhonghai City.

He dragged his tired body back to Villa No. 1 on the island in the middle of the lake.

In the living room.

It was packed with people.

Shu Tangyin's family, Shu Lingyue, Long Pingting, along with the doctor, the madman, Laifu, and others, were all worried about Chen Yun and anxiously waiting for his return!

"Chen Yun, you're back!"

When Shu Tangyin saw Chen Yun return safely, she finally felt relieved. Ignoring the presence of others, she excitedly rushed over and threw herself into Chen Yun's arms.

Chen Yun reached out and stroked his wife's hair, knowing she must have been terrified, and comforted her, "It's alright now, the bandit leader has been caught, and the citywide curfew has been lifted!"

Upon hearing this, Long Pingting and the others couldn't help but cheer.

Only Shu Lingyue looked at Chen Yun embracing Shu Tangyin with a somewhat somber expression.

Chen Yun smiled and said to everyone, "I'm sorry you all had a fright tonight. You've all worked hard. Go back and rest early! I won't keep you all for a chat. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

It was already late at night.

Everyone was worried about Chen Yun, so none of them felt sleepy.

Seeing that Chen Yun was alright and knowing that the matter had been resolved, they were all relieved, and fatigue and sleepiness followed.

So they all said their goodbyes and left!

In the end, only Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin's family remained.

Shu Xinyuan and Xu Yuehua were getting old and couldn't stay up late, so they yawned and went back to their room to rest.

Shu Tangyin and Chen Yun sat on the living room sofa, snuggling together, and exchanged a few more words.

Shu Tangyin glanced at the time and realized it was quite late, so she whispered in Chen Yun's ear, "Honey, go take a shower first, and come sleep in my room tonight. I'll wait for you there."

After saying that, she blushed and ran away into her own bedroom.

Chen Yun was slightly taken aback.

He then smiled.

Although he and Shu Tangyin had reached the stage of discussing marriage, his future in-laws had even taken their birth dates to a fortune teller to determine their wedding date.

But because he lives with his parents-in-law.

He and Shu Tangyin were usually very polite to each other.

Although they sometimes showed affection, they never shared a room.

It's probably because they're getting married soon.

Perhaps it was because of what happened tonight that Shu Tangyin realized how precious the time they spent together was.

Tonight, she actually offered to let Chen Yun sleep in her room.

Chen Yun smiled and shook his head, then went to take a shower.

He was exhausted today, having traveled to the provincial capital, flown to the northern border, and then experienced the Qin Lu incident tonight. He was physically and mentally drained.

I took a little too long to take a hot shower.

When he was wearing pajamas.

When we arrived at Shu Tangyin's bedroom.

He found Shu Tangyin already wearing a white nightgown and waiting for him.

To Chen Yun's amusement and exasperation, Shu Tangyin had actually fallen asleep.

Chen Yun checked the time; it was already 3 a.m.

Shu Tangyin had been worried sick for most of the night. She relaxed and lay in bed waiting for him. It was normal for her to fall asleep after waiting for so long.

He looked at Shu Tangyin, who was sleeping peacefully like a princess, smiled slightly, and, not wanting to wake his wife, leaned down and kissed her forehead gently. Then he quietly lay down next to her, turned off the light, and rested.

I don't know how long I slept, but I'm still half asleep.

I could faintly hear sounds of breakfast being prepared coming from the kitchen outside.

Chen Yun opened his sleepy eyes.

But to my surprise, it was already daylight outside the window.

Shu Tangyin was lying next to him, her pretty face flushed, her phoenix eyes looking at him shyly!

Chen Yun smiled and said, "You woke up so early?"

Shu Tangyin said softly, "Mom was making breakfast in the kitchen outside, and she woke me up."

Speaking of which...

She blushed and whispered, "Why didn't you wake me up last night when I was asleep?"

Chen Yun teased, "Why did I wake you up?"

Shu Tangyin subconsciously wanted to say something, but as soon as she was about to speak, the blush on her pretty face spread to her neck, and she hurriedly swallowed back what she was going to say. She raised her hand and hit Chen Yun in protest.

She said with a light pout, "I almost fell for your trick! I won't tell you!"

Chen Yun smiled.

Just then, Xu Yuehua's voice came from outside: "Xiaoyin, breakfast is ready. Get up and have breakfast."

Shu Tangyin responded, then whispered to Chen Yun, "I'm going to get up and wash up first. You've been very tired lately, so don't go back to the company today. You should sleep a little longer!"

After saying that, she got up first.

What was Chen Yun about to say?

But then his phone rang.

It was the butcher who called.

He answered the phone.

The butcher's voice came through the phone: "Boss, something's happened."

Chen Yun thought that his teacher, Qin Lao, had been implicated, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The butcher said, "Qin Lu has escaped."

Chen Yun was stunned upon hearing this, somewhat incredulous: "What did you say? Qin Lu ran away? That's impossible!"

Qin Lu was captured by Zhang Yanqing and his group from the East Sea Phoenix.

Chen Yun was well aware of Zhang Yanqing's strength; the injured Qin Lu was definitely no match for Zhang Yanqing.

Moreover, Zhang Yanqing has a general like Zhang Yang by his side, as well as a team of East Sea warriors!

There's no way Qin Lu could escape from Zhang Yanqing!

The butcher replied, "They really got away!"

"To be precise, they were rescued by a team of mysterious experts."

"According to the information I just received, after Zhang Yanqing and his group took Qin Lu away last night..."

"Zhang Yanqing has returned to the East China Sea Navy!"

"Order Zhang Yang to lead a team to escort Qin Lu to the capital for disposal."

"Unexpectedly, on the way to the capital, Zhang Yang and his team were attacked by a group of mysterious experts who rescued Qin Lu."

Chen Yun frowned upon hearing this: "How is Zhang Yang?"

The butcher said, "He was injured, but not fatally. However, he failed to properly supervise the prisoners, and I expect he will be severely punished by the higher-ups."

Chen Yun asked, "Do you know who these mysterious experts who rescued Qin Lu are?"

The butcher said, "At first, everyone suspected that it was Qin Lao who sent people to do it, but it was soon proven not to be the case. These experts all came from different countries abroad, mainly from Japan."

"Intelligence officials speculate that it was foreign enemies who rescued Qin Lu."

"Qin Lu has probably been taken to Japan now."

Chen Yun hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

However, while this was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Qin Lu was a traitor who colluded with the enemy.

Now that Qin Lu is in trouble, the enemy is unwilling to let him be arrested and interrogated, and even less willing for him to reveal too much. So they have dispatched a large number of experts to forcibly rescue Qin Lu.

This is something we should actually be wary of!

However, both Chen Yun and Zhang Yanqing were somewhat careless.

This resulted in the enemy actually rescuing Qin Lu.

Chen Yun hadn't even had time to process this sudden news.

The butcher added, "There's more bad news. Although it's been determined that it wasn't Elder Qin who sent people to kidnap Qin Lu, Elder Qin is still implicated in Qin Lu's matter and has temporarily withdrawn from the Northern Army to return to his hometown to recuperate."

"Actually, we are waiting for the relevant investigation. Only after it is thoroughly found that Elder Qin has no problems will we consider the latest arrangements for Elder Qin."

At this point, the butcher lowered his voice and said, "Boss, Old Qin's reputation is going to be ruined by his son. He'll probably be forced to retire."

Chen Yun sighed: "Qin Lu has really done a lot of harm!"

"Not only did the teacher's son get into trouble, but his career, which he had dedicated his entire life to, was also affected, and his reputation was severely damaged."

"He must be feeling incredibly miserable right now!"

I'll go visit him today!

The butcher hurriedly said, "Boss, now that Old Qin is under investigation, everyone is afraid of being implicated and is avoiding him like the plague. If you go to visit Old Qin now, those investigators might target you and make things difficult for you!"

Chen Yun said calmly, "I have a clear conscience and I'm not afraid of their investigation!"

"Besides, it's their business if others avoid it."

"Old Qin is my mentor. How could I pretend not to know and not go to visit him when something happened to him?"

Upon hearing this, the butcher dared not offer any further advice.
