Chen Yun glanced at Gu Dayong, who lay dead in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and casually took out a bank card: "Laifu, pay the bill and compensate the restaurant for its losses."

Lai Fu respectfully accepted it: "Yes, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Yun got up and left, heading to the Grand Hyatt restaurant next door.

The restaurant owner and manager, seeing Chen Yun about to leave, tried to stop him, saying, "We've already called the police; you can't just walk away like this..."

Lai Fu stepped forward to stop the restaurant owner and the others, showed them his national security ID, and said in a deep voice, "Don't disturb Mr. Chen. I will stay and handle the relevant matters with you and compensate you for your losses!"

When the restaurant owner and others saw Lai Fu's identification, they were taken aback and dared not stop Chen Yun any longer.

Chen Yun had just stepped out of the restaurant.

Several men in black immediately entered.

These people were sent by Elder Qin to secretly protect Chen Yun and his family.

They emerged from the shadows to clean up Chen Yun's mess.

After the group revealed their identities, the restaurant owner and others were shocked once again.

They were already surprised by Lai Fu's identity as a secret agent.

Now a few more men in black from the military have appeared.

What shocked them even more!

They finally realized that Chen Yun was no ordinary person.

No wonder that Japanese samurai named Chiba Sawa was willing to slash his employer rather than draw his sword against Chen Yun.

The leader of the men in black ordered his men to move the bodies off the ground, while warning the restaurant owner and others not to publicize what happened tonight, or they would face the consequences.

Lai Fu then compensated the restaurant for its economic losses!

Finally, he said to Laifu, "Zhu Laifu, this is no longer your business. You continue to protect Mr. Chen. We will handle the aftermath here."

Zhu Laifu said, "Okay!"

...

next door.

Grand Hyatt Restaurant.

Inside the private room.

Shu Tangyin, Lu Meijia, and the others were waiting absentmindedly.

Sudden.

Chen Yun pushed the door open and came in.

Shu Tangyin was overjoyed to see Chen Yun: "Honey, are you alright?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Yun was alright, and their hearts were finally at ease.

Shu Lingyue asked curiously, "Chen Yun, where are those Japanese people?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "They went where they were supposed to go."

When Shu Lingyue and the others heard Chen Yun's words, they all assumed that Chen Yun had driven these Japanese people away and sent them back to Japan, so they didn't take it too seriously and nodded, saying that it was good that everything was alright.

Lu Meijia smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I don't know what kind of dishes you like to eat, but the restaurant manager happens to highly recommend various mushrooms that are air-freighted from southern Xinjiang, including freshly harvested Boletus luridus and other mushrooms."

"So I took the liberty of ordering a whole mushroom feast. I wonder if you'll enjoy it?"

Chen Yun laughed and said, "I'm not picky about food. As long as I don't get poisoned or see villains, it's fine."

Lu Meijia hadn't spoken yet.

The waiter serving them hurriedly said, "No, no, you won't get poisoned. Our restaurant has been in business for many years and we've never had a case of mushroom poisoning."

Chen Yun was just joking.

Seeing how eagerly and earnestly the waiter was explaining, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Not long after.

The waiter then brought over a pot of already cooked mixed mushroom and chicken soup.

At the same time, several waiters brought in exquisite dishes such as stir-fried mushrooms.

Just as Lu Meijia said, tonight's meal is a whole mushroom feast!

Everyone was in high spirits.

The waiters personally served soup to everyone.

Chen Yun also picked up his chopsticks, about to take a slice of mushroom to taste.

At that moment, a man dressed in a black suit and wearing black sunglasses suddenly rushed in and stopped him, saying, "Mr. Chen, wait! These mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten!"

These words were spoken.

Not only Chen Yun was stunned.

Shu Tangyin, Lu Meijia, and the others were stunned.

The waiters and food runners in the private room all stared wide-eyed.

The waiter was about to say it was impossible!

But the man in black said in a deep voice, "I am under orders from Elder Qin to secretly protect Mr. Chen and his family. Just now, I discovered that someone secretly added something to the mixed mushroom and chicken soup that you ordered, Mr. Chen."

"My subordinates suspect that the person poisoned the body, and have had a colleague arrest the person. They are currently interrogating him."

“But Mr. Chen, you can’t drink this pot of mixed mushroom and chicken soup.”

"For safety's sake, don't eat any other dishes either!"

What?

Poisoning suspected?!

The people in the private room were taken aback.

Chen Yun's face also darkened, and he slowly said, "We won't even be able to have a peaceful meal tonight!"

After saying that, he asked Shu Tangyin and the others to wait a moment.

He stood up and said to the man in black, "Come on, take me to see the guy you caught who's suspected of poisoning us, and see what's going on."

The man in black said, "Yes, Mr. Chen, please come with me."

As Chen Yun stepped out of the private room, he noticed several men in black suits and sunglasses in the corridor.

These are all Qin Lao's guards.

They were sent by Elder Qin to protect Chen Yun's family.

Chen Yun followed several plainclothes guards into a storage room.

Inside, a thin man with a bruised and swollen face covered in blood was squatting.

The skinny man was squatting on the ground, shivering.

Chen Yun said coldly, "Raise your head."

The skinny man cautiously raised his head, looking at Chen Yun with fear. He clearly had something to hide, otherwise he wouldn't be so flustered and scared.

Chen Yun said, "Did you poison our food just now?"

The skinny man hesitated.

"Mr. Chen is asking you a question, do you dare not answer?"

One of the men in black beside Chen Yun immediately stepped forward, grabbed the skinny man's arm, and snapped it with a crack.

"ah!"

The skinny man screamed in pain, like a pig being slaughtered.

He finally realized he had encountered a ruthless character today, and cried out, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything! It was Brother Gui, Brother Gui gave me a sum of money and told me to find an opportunity to poison him!"

"The goal is to create an accident, to make the outside world think that you died from mushroom poisoning..."

Chen Yun's eyes grew even colder: "Who is Brother Gui?"

The skinny man endured the pain, gasping for breath as he said, "Brother Ghost is Xu Daoyu, nicknamed Ghost Fear, also known as Brother Ghost."

Chen Yun said, "Never heard of it!"

"I have no grudge against him, so why would he send you to poison me?"

The skinny man said weakly, "I don't know either..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Yun was not satisfied with his answer, and he also noticed that the men in black next to Chen Yun looked like they were about to attack him again.

He hurriedly added in fright, "I think Brother Gui is just taking people's money to solve their problems!"

"Because Ghost Brother's profession is to kill for people, and unlike ordinary assassins, he likes to make murders appear as accidental deaths."

"This way, Brother Gui can avoid being investigated, and the employer won't get into trouble."

Chen Yun said coldly, "So you're a killer who's good at planning and causing accidental deaths. No wonder he had you poison our mixed mushroom soup."

The skinny guy was already scared after his plan failed, and then he realized that Chen Yun and his group were all ruthless characters.

To survive.

He even pushed everything onto his boss, revealing everything he knew.

At this moment, he said in an almost fawning tone, "Young Master Chen, although I don't know who asked Brother Gui to plan this accident, as far as I know, Brother Gui recently caused a car accident that killed Miss Lu Meijia's father."

"So I guess Brother Gui's target this time is Miss Lu Meijia, not you."

"Please, I beg you, spare my life since I've told you everything I know?"

Chen Yun frowned upon hearing this.

He had assumed that Xiao Wenwei had hired Guijianchou to get rid of him.

But listening to what this skinny guy is saying, it doesn't seem like that!

Could it be that they came for Lu Meijia?

Moreover, the skinny man said that Lu Meijia's father did not die in an accident, but was murdered by Gui Jianchou in a meticulously planned manner.

Chen Yun looked at the plainclothes guards beside him and instructed one of them, "Go and invite Miss Lu over here."

The plainclothes guard replied, "Yes, Mr. Chen!"
