After Chen Yun and his party arrived in Singapore, the Lion City of Southeast Asia.

Long Pingting did not continue attending the financial conference, but instead returned to Zhonghai, Longguo with her team.

Chen Yun also parted ways with Lin Manman. He, along with Lai Fu, Lin Le, and the madman, planned to escort Qin Lu to see Old Qin and then hand Qin Lu over to the relevant departments for processing.

Just before boarding.

Lin Manman suddenly ran over and asked reluctantly, "Mr. Chen, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Life is like a journey. You will meet many people. Some you will meet again, while others you will only brush past and never see again. So I can't say for sure."

This unpromised answer left Lin Manman somewhat disappointed. She said softly, "Well, we'll meet again someday! But what I want to say is that Mr. Chen's act of helping me out this time, and his heroic demeanor at Yuying Temple, will become unforgettable memories for me!"

Chen Yun smiled and led Lai Fu and the others onto the plane.

Lin Manman suddenly felt even more reluctant to part, and her nose tingled as she waved goodbye: "Take care, Mr. Chen."

Fate brought her to such an outstanding man, yet they parted ways so hastily.

What a pity!

As Chen Yun and his group boarded the plane, Lin Le glanced back at Lin Manman, secretly shaking his head, thinking: Well, another beauty has fallen for Mr. Chen.

A few hours later.

The plane arrived in the North at dusk.

Just got off the plane.

Large numbers of heavily armed soldiers appeared around them, led by Zhang Yang.

It turns out that Zhang Yang was ordered to capture Qin Lu.

Zhang Yang was originally quite arrogant, and apart from Old Zhang and Zhang Yanqing, he looked down on almost everyone.

But ever since he was defeated by Chen Yun in one move.

He became much more restrained.

Especially this time, Chen Yun personally went to Japan to bring Qin Lu back, and in front of the Hall of Heroes of the Mikage Temple, in front of the spirit tablets of the Heroes and countless Japanese masters, he forcefully killed the God of War, Chiba Ryuji.

Zhang Yang's attitude towards Chen Yun has already undergone a real change.

If being defeated by Chen Yun in one move was a matter of being beaten into submission, then after hearing about Chen Yun's exploits in Japan, he was truly impressed.

Upon seeing Chen Yun, all resentment and anger vanished from his heart. He snapped to attention and saluted, "Greetings, Commander!"

The heavily armed soldiers behind him saluted in unison: "Greetings, Commander! Congratulations on your triumphant return!"

Chen Yun raised his hand in return to salute and said calmly, "Zhang Yang, you're here to take Qin Lu away, aren't you?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said truthfully, "Yes, Qin Lu was abducted while I was escorting him, and I was even criticized in a notice. When the higher-ups learned that you had brought Qin Lu back, they specifically ordered me to come and pick him up and hand him over to the relevant departments for processing."

Chen Yun said, "I know you came under orders, but could you please give Qin Lu the courtesy of going home to see his father one last time before leaving with you?"

Zhang Yang was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

Say yes! It doesn't seem quite right!

We shouldn't agree! This person was brought back from Japan by Chen Yun after risking his life; it would be too unreasonable to refuse such a small request.

Moreover, given Chen Yun's temper, if he speaks to you politely now and you don't appreciate it, he might slap you later.

What's even more frightening is...

Given Chen Yun's current popularity among the senior members of the cabinet.

Zhang Yang figured that even if Chen Yun beat him up, it would be for nothing, and no one would punish Chen Yun for it.

Finally, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, made a decision, and said with a forced smile, "The person was brought back by you, Commander. Who would dare to refuse your small request?"

"How about this, it's getting dark now, I'll accompany you to take Qin Lu home so that father and son can meet."

“He has to come with me before midnight, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to my superiors. Is that alright?”

Chen Yun said, "Okay!"

soon.

Zhang Yang arranged for a motorcade to pick up Chen Yun and his party, and he personally led the team to escort Qin Lu home.

After several detours, the convoy finally arrived in Long County and reached Qin Lu's hometown.

Having received the news long ago, Elder Qin had already ordered his subordinate Gao Ping to prepare wine and food.

There were 11 tables of food and drinks in total.

Ten tables were set up in the courtyard to entertain Crazy, Lai Fu, Lin Le, and Zhang Yang's group.

There was another table set up in the living room of the old house, which was used by Old Qin to personally entertain Chen Yun.

As soon as Chen Yun and his party entered, Old Qin and his guard Gao Ping came to greet them.

He completely ignored his son Qin Lu, strode up to Chen Yun, grabbed Chen Yun's shoulder, and said excitedly, "Child, you're alright, that's wonderful! Your teacher was so worried."

Chen Yun coughed and said in a low voice, "Teacher, I have not failed you. I have brought your son back from Japan."

Old Qin slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Qin Lu, who was hanging his head to the side. His eyes were extremely complicated, filled with anger, resentment, heartache, and pain!

He wanted to give this unfilial son a good scolding, and he also wanted to slap him a few times and question him about all the good things he had done.

But in the end, he couldn't say anything.

All those words can be summed up in one sentence: "Go take a bath, light incense for your ancestors, apologize and repent for the things you've done that have brought shame upon them, and then come eat!"

Qin Lu looked up at his father's face, which had aged drastically in just a few days. Recalling his own actions, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and choked out, "Yes, Dad!"

Qin Lu went to take a bath.

Gao Ping personally accompanied him.

Old Qin said to the three madmen, Lai Fu, Lin Le, and others, "You three have followed Chen Yun through thick and thin, just to bring that little beast back. You've worked hard, and I want to say thank you to you."

The madman and the others were terrified and quickly said, "Elder Qin, you flatter us."

Old Qin then looked at Zhang Yang and the others: "General Zhang, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Zhang Yang hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare!"

Old Qin said, "I've prepared a few simple meals, so please make do with whatever you like! I'll have a meal with Chen Yun and that little beast to say my final goodbyes. It won't delay you from taking him back to report."

Zhang Yang said, "Alright, thank you for your hospitality, Elder Qin."

Old Qin said to Chen Yun, "Child, let's go inside!"

Chen Yun nodded: "Okay."

Old Qin and Chen Yun went to the living room and chatted for a while.

Although Qin Lao already knew the outcome, when he heard Chen Yun talk about this trip to Japan so casually, he could still feel the danger involved and couldn't help but feel scared. If Chen Yun didn't come back, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life!

Chen Yun also learned from Elder Qin that Elder Qin had spoken with several senior members of the cabinet to ensure their safe return.

The deployment of the East China Sea and Jiangnan fleets to exert pressure was what allowed Chen Yun and his party to return safely.

Chen Yun smiled wryly: "Fortunately, Elder Qin and others were there to support me, otherwise, with my personal martial prowess, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it back!"

Old Qin said, "After this incident, your reputation in the military has reached a higher level, which will be of great help to your comeback in the future. That can be considered the only benefit!"

...

The capital city.

The Chen family.

Xiao Wenwei had lost count of how many times she had dialed Qin Lu's number, but his phone was still switched off.

"What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Wenwei was puzzled because she couldn't contact her lover. She had a vague feeling that something had happened to Qin Lu.
