Chen Yun's eyes widened, and he was about to say something?

But at that moment, his phone vibrated; someone was calling.

I took out my phone and looked at it.

It turned out to be a call from Old Qin.

He paused for a moment, then quickly put aside his reprimand of Shu Lingyue, said he would find a quiet place to take the call, and headed towards the restroom.

Shu Lingyue watched Chen Yun's retreating figure and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

She was supposed to be having a drink with some old college classmates tonight.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yun misunderstood.

Thinking she was drowning her sorrows in alcohol, and worried she might do something foolish, he not only came to comfort her, but also unwittingly agreed to do something for her!

I made a profit!

She was in a great mood, her gloomy mood of the past few days gone by, and beckoned to the waiter: "Bring me another bottle of red wine!"

The waiter replied, "Yes, beautiful!"

...

Chen Yun went into the restroom, where the music was a little quieter, and then he answered Qin Lao's call.

"Hey, teacher!"

Old Qin said, "Young man, the Cheng family has been thoroughly investigated, and there are many problems. The relevant departments have been instructed to investigate thoroughly. The Cheng family is finished."

Chen Yun said, "They have only themselves to blame!"

Old Qin changed the subject: "Forget about the Cheng family, worry about you first!"

Chen Yun was stunned: "What... what happened to me?"

Old Master Qin said, "You had a conflict with Cheng Jin, then investigated the Cheng family, uncovering many problems within them. The King somehow found out about this..."

Chen Yun was slightly surprised, and his tone became serious: "Does the King think that what I did was wrong, or that it was against procedure and rules?"

Old Qin said, "He hasn't made any statement!"

"After the meeting today, he called me aside and mentioned the Cheng family matter. Then he asked me to inform you to be at the Imperial Study of the King's Mansion at 10:00 AM tomorrow to wait for him."

Chen Yun said, "What? The king wants to see me tomorrow? Teacher, could it be that the king thinks I've been causing too much trouble lately and wants to reprimand me?"

Old Qin said, "I don't know!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Teacher, aren't you going to give me a heads-up?"

Old Qin hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Regarding the matter of us old men jointly recommending you for the position of Grand Commander, although the King has agreed, I can sense that he is still very cautious about this matter, and I estimate that he is still making final considerations..."

Chen Yun said, "It's alright! After all, I'm still young and inexperienced. If the higher-ups have other considerations and don't appoint me as Grand Commander, I can understand."

"Like I said before, if we're summoned, we'll come back; if not, we'll just live a carefree life!"

Old Qin criticized, "What are you babbling about?"

"Who said you're young and inexperienced?"

"Who said you weren't capable enough?"

"You, the war god who protects the nation, want to live a carefree life? We old folks don't want that, and neither does the king!"

Chen Yun was both amused and exasperated: "But honestly, didn't you just say..."

Old Qin lowered his voice and said, "When I said that the appointment was still under final consideration, it actually had nothing to do with your abilities. Everyone has witnessed your abilities during the years you guarded the northern border."

"Moreover, the four commanders of the East Sea, the West Frontier, the South of the Yangtze River, and the North Border all admire you."

"You are absolutely capable of handling the situation!"

Old Qin paused here, then said, "The reason why the higher-ups have not made a final decision for so long is because of us old folks."

Chen Yun: "Because of you old folks?"

Old Qin said, "That's right! To be precise, it's because you were jointly recommended by several of us old folks!"

"You know, we old folks don't usually get along like that."

"Very few people agree on one thing!"

“Especially Zhang Lao and I, we used to be mortal enemies.”

"The king is also happy to see that I and Zhang Lao are mortal enemies, because it is necessary to maintain balance."

“But now, you were recommended by several of us old men. The king probably thinks that with so many old men supporting you, you will become too powerful and no one will be able to check you.”

Chen Yun remained silent.

He already understood what Elder Qin meant.

Because he was too favored.

He has too many supporters.

So much so that the king hesitated whether he could appoint him as Grand Commander, worried that he would become too powerful and unchecked, and that the power structure would get out of control!

Chen Yun remained silent.

Old Qin also remained silent.

a long time.

Chen Yun asked, "Teacher, is there a solution to this situation?"

Old Qin sighed, "There's no solution. We can only wait for the King's final decision!"

Chen Yun suddenly laughed: "Since there is no solution, let nature take its course and don't create trouble for yourself."

Old Qin paused for a moment, then smiled: "That's right! But we can't just sit and wait for news; we still need to take proactive measures."

"The king's meeting with you tomorrow should be crucial."

"This concerns whether you can be appointed Grand Commander, so you'd better handle it!"

"There's no need to force anything or try to please anyone. Just be yourself and show the king your true character and your real self. He will make the decision freely."

Chen Yun said, "Hmm!"

Old Qin chatted with Chen Yun for a couple more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Chen Yun washed her face and came out of the bathroom.

We haven't even reached the booth yet!

From afar, they could see a rich young man with a buzz cut and an earring, accompanied by several followers, blocking Shu Lingyue in a booth.

Shu Lingyue was furious, her face cold as she shouted, "I don't know you. Please leave my booth immediately, or I'll call security."

The young rich man with a buzz cut and an earring just smiled when he heard Shu Lingyue's words.

The group of slackers behind him chuckled and said, "Beautiful lady, don't even mention security guards, even the owner of this Star Shine Nightclub would bow respectfully to our Young Master Cui!"

"Our young master Cui's father is the district head of the South District!"

"To put it bluntly, in this area of ​​the South District, whether it's the legitimate or underworld, everyone has to be respectful and humble in front of Young Master Cui. No one dares to disrespect him!"

"That's right, our young master Cui wants to have a drink with you, and he's giving it to a friend as a favor! Don't be ungrateful!"

Shu Lingyue frowned slightly, not expecting that the rich young man who came to bother her while she was drinking was actually quite influential.

Cui Lingyun was very pleased to hear his subordinates praising him.

Normally, when he reveals his identity as the district head's son, no matter how beautiful or proud the other person is, they will immediately become docile and enthusiastic.

now.

He looked at the stunningly beautiful and slender Shu Lingyue, waiting for her to change her attitude towards him, waiting to see her expression change from disgust to shock, and then to flattery.

If Shu Lingyue were to take the initiative to pursue him, that would be absolutely perfect!

Unexpectedly, upon learning his identity, Shu Lingyue merely frowned and coldly said, "Are you finished talking? If you are, you can get lost. Don't disturb my drinking!"

Cui Lingyun's smile froze.

His henchmen were also furious.

Cui Lingyun angrily said, "You bitch, I wanted to be friends with you because you're pretty, but you're so shameless!"

"Someone, drag her to our private room!"

"I'm going to fuck her to pieces tonight!"

"I wonder which security guard, or someone who's had too much to eat, would dare to meddle in this?"

His henchmen immediately prepared to attack Shu Lingyue.

The two hidden guards were about to appear to protect Shu Lingyue.

But at this moment.

Chen Yun has returned.

Chen Yun said coldly, "Anyone who dares to touch her will lose their hands."

Upon seeing Chen Yun, Shu Lingyue exclaimed with delight, "Chen Yun!"

Cui Lingyun and the others turned around.

He looked at Chen Yun with a mixture of shock and anger!

Cui Lingyun sized Chen Yun up and down, then said in an unfriendly tone, "You little brat, who do you think you are, meddling in other people's business? Do you know what happens when you try to be a hero?"

Just now.

Chen Yun received a call from Elder Qin, who mentioned that the King already knew about the conflict between Chen Yun and Cheng Jin, and reminded Chen Yun that he had been making too much noise lately, even the King knew about it, implying that Chen Yun should keep a low profile in the future.

So when Chen Yun saw Cui Lingyun harassing Shu Lingyue from afar, he kept telling himself as he walked over: Be patient, try not to beat them up!

But then, he heard Cui Lingyun say this.

He couldn't help but laugh—a cold laugh!

This is truly a case of "one moment of patience and you'll be furious, one step back and you'll be seething with rage!"

The next second, he made a sudden move!

Bang!

He raised his hand and punched Cui Lingyun in the face, breaking Cui Lingyun's nose and causing blood to gush out. Cui Lingyun was sent flying backward and crashed into the coffee table next to him with a loud thud, leaving a mess!

People around gasped in surprise.

Cui Lingyun's henchmen also stared wide-eyed, stunned, their faces filled with disbelief!

Chen Yun took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood from his fist, coldly saying, "I didn't even want to hit you in the first place!"
