For the next half hour...

Funds from all sides began to flow into Tianjiao Group's accounts.

When the finance department of Tianjiao Group saw the money arriving one after another, and each amount was in the hundreds of millions, everyone in the finance office was stunned.

They thought there was a malfunction in the financial system!

Upon investigation, it turned out not to be a system malfunction, but rather that a real amount of money was being continuously deposited into the company's account.

But the finance staff were even more stunned.

The finance director even ran to President Long Pingting's office to report the situation and ask what happened.

Long Pingting was also shocked after hearing the finance manager's report.

However, she quickly realized that this might be the work of the young master, Chen Yun.

So he told the finance director, "This must be the chairman moving funds. It's not a problem with the banking system or our financial system. There's no need to worry."

The finance manager was relieved to hear that it was Chairman Chen Yun's doing and went back to work.

Upon learning of the situation, the staff in the finance office of Tianjiao Group exclaimed with a mixture of shock and admiration, "The chairman truly lives up to his title! Even a bank CEO might not be able to mobilize so much cash in such a short time!"

"Absolutely! In the past half hour, the amount received has probably already reached trillions. Even if the head office of a bank wanted to access that many funds, it wouldn't be so easy."

"This scale of fund mobilization is already at the national level."

"My God, do you think our chairman has some kind of powerful background?"

While a group of finance personnel from Tianjiao Group were discussing the matter and exclaiming in amazement, it was truly eye-opening.

Chen Yun has already received a call from Long Pingting.

Long Pingting told Chen Yun about how the company received over a trillion yuan in funds within half an hour, and also inquired about the situation.

Chen Yun knew immediately that it was Old Qin who had gotten the money!

He smiled and said, "These are funds I raised through fundraising. You don't need to worry about the source of the funds; they're definitely clean."

"Now you can rest assured to accept the five trillion bet from the mysterious Westerner."

Long Pingting exclaimed in shock, "Young Master, we've already accepted 500 million in bets over the past few days. If we accept another 500 million from the mysterious Westerner, the total will be 1 billion..."

Chen Yun said, "Didn't these guys want to bet on Onizuka Ryuichi? Didn't they want to make a big bet with me? We'll play along to the end."

"If we win, we'll win a billion!"

"If we lose, we'll lose the two trillion we've borrowed, and my life."

Although Long Pingting has seen many storms over the years, this gamble is too big, involving Chen Yun's life and fortune.

She couldn't help but feel a little scared, and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, isn't this a bit too risky? Maybe we shouldn't gamble so much..."

Chen Yun interrupted calmly, "This duel was initiated by Onizuka Ryu. From the moment I accepted the challenge, we had already staked our lives on each other."

“From the day I opened my Hong Kong property and Onitsuka Ryu dumped his investment, we staked our entire fortunes on each other.”

“Now, wealthy Japanese are placing bets, Western powers are placing bets, and I also have people betting behind me.”

"The current situation is no longer up to me and Onizuka Ryu to decide."

"Whether he and I are willing or not, and whether we got scared halfway through, there is no turning back."

"The only way out is to defeat the opponent on the night of the full moon, atop Mount Tai."

"The winner takes everything!"

"The loser loses everything, including their life, their possessions... and their dignity!"

Upon hearing this, Long Pingting felt inexplicably fearful, scared, and worried.

Chen Yun said slowly, "Don't think about anything now, and don't worry. Just do as I say, accept the five hundred million bet from the mysterious Westerner, and then wait for my results tomorrow night."

Long Pingting said in a trembling voice, "Yes, young master, you promised me you would come back alive."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

He hung up on Long Pingting.

The phone rang again immediately.

This time, it was Old Qin who called.

As soon as Chen Yun answered the phone, Qin Lao's voice came through: "Kid, the funding has been arranged for you. Did you receive the money?"

Chen Yun laughed and said, "I've received it. I'll take on the five trillion bet from those old Western rivals. I'll gamble big with them."

"Teacher, I never imagined you were so amazing! You mobilized trillions of funds in just half an hour!"

Old Qin retorted, "Do you think this is my money?"

"This trillion comes partly from countless members of the Qin family; partly from the Qin family's allies; and partly from the elders..."

Chen Yun exclaimed in shock, "What? Elder Zhang and the others also contributed money?"

Old Qin said, "Those with money should contribute money, and those with strength should contribute strength. Don't forget that you were recommended by all of us old folks. We're still waiting for you to make a name for yourself in the future. We can't let you be bullied, and we certainly can't let you fall on the summit of Mount Tai."

"By the way, the higher-ups know about this too, and they tacitly approved it. Otherwise, do you think we could have gathered a trillion yuan for you in half an hour?"

Chen Yun's eyes widened.

Old Master Qin added, "Remember, this battle can only be won, not lost."

Chen Yun replied solemnly, "Yes!"

Hang up the phone.

Chen Yun calmed himself down and then called to Lai Fu, Lin Le and Feng Zi: "Let's go eat. Get a good rest tonight and we'll go to Mount Tai tomorrow."

Lai Fu, Lin Le, and the madman all replied in unison, "Yes!"

All restaurants were served.

So Chen Yun and his group were too lazy to go out and find a restaurant, and they went to a restaurant to eat.

And at this very moment.

In a courtyard house in Beijing.

Shu Tangyin, Shu Xinyuan, Xu Yuehua, Song Yanran, and others were also preparing to have dinner.

Because I was worried about Chen Yun.

Therefore, Shu Tangyin and the others were all worried and had little appetite. They were all absent-minded.

Shu Tangyin really wanted to go to Qilu City with Chen Yun.

But she knew there was nothing she could do to help!

She was also afraid that if she insisted on going, it would worry Chen Yun and become a burden to him.

So, being very sensible, she didn't go to Qilu City with Chen Yun, but obeyed his instructions and waited at home.

But this feeling of waiting is just too agonizing.

She looked at her family members who were eating, and they all looked listless, without their usual laughter and cheerfulness.

Sudden!

She realized something was wrong.

One person is missing!

Her older sister, Shu Lingyue, has disappeared.

She hurriedly asked, "Mom, where's my sister? Why haven't I seen her come out to eat?"

Xu Yuehua shook her head, looking confused, and said, "After we saw Chen Yun off, I don't think I've seen Lingyue since."

Shu Xinyuan and Song Yanran and the others said they had sent Chen Yun back, but they hadn't seen Shu Lingyue since.

Shu Tangyin quickly summoned the servants in her household to inquire.

The servant said, "Miss Shu Lingyue said she is going out for a while. It seems she is going to Qilu City to climb Mount Tai."

Everyone was stunned by what they heard.

They immediately understood.

Shu Lingyue must have secretly set off to Qilu to find Chen Yun.
