night.

Chen Yun and his group left the orphanage and returned to the courtyard where they were staying temporarily.

On the road.

Neither Chen Yun nor Shu Lingyue spoke.

Back to the courtyard house.

They all went back to rest.

Chen Yun also walked towards his house.

At this moment, Shu Lingyue called out, "Chen Yun!"

Chen Yun stopped and turned to look at Shu Lingyue.

Shu Lingyue said softly, "Thank you for always indulging my willful behavior, and thank you even more for spending this unforgettable birthday with me."

"sorry!"

“I’ve been too willful all along, especially when I overstepped my boundaries without thinking, causing you trouble.”

"I promise it won't happen again..."

Before Chen Yun could speak, she turned and walked away quickly.

Because I was afraid that if I left too late, I would cry.

She had always thought of herself as someone who dared to love and hate, but after meeting Chen Yun, she realized that loving someone could make her feel so humble that she was practically invisible.

When she felt that her love was so humble, she never thought of backing down.

However, when she realized that her love was causing trouble for Chen Yun, she knew she had to back down.

Chen Yun watched Shu Lingyue run away, his brows furrowed. Finally, he shook his head and turned to walk towards his house.

When Chen Yun and Shu Lingyue's figures disappeared into the courtyard.

Lai Fu, Lin Le, and Crazy appeared just after they parked the car.

The madman said, "Miss Shu seems to have come to her senses and is no longer dwelling on her feelings."

Lin Le said, "This is good for both her and Mr. Chen, but I always feel that she may not be able to truly let go!"

Lai Fu said slowly, "Feelings should be expressed but restrained by propriety!"

Crazy and Lin Le both turned to look at Lai Fu, thinking to themselves: Wow, this big oaf is actually quite cultured!

...

the next day.

morning.

Chen Yun arrived in the living room and happened to run into Shu Lingyue.

Good morning!

Chen Yun greeted Shu Lingyue as usual.

In the past, Shu Lingyue would have run to Chen Yun excitedly, chattering away like a sparrow.

But today, Shu Lingyue was unusually quiet. When Chen Yun greeted her, she only nodded slightly and replied, "Good morning!"

Then the two passed each other!

Chen Yun was stunned.

Then he remembered what Shu Lingyue had said last night.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a call from Old Qin. Old Qin invited Chen Yun to meet at Guanyun Teahouse, saying he wanted to have tea with Chen Yun and discuss some matters.

Chen Yun said, "Okay, I'll come over now."

Hang up the phone.

Just then, Shu Tangyin also arrived in the living room, about to have breakfast with Chen Yun.

Chen Yun said, "Let's skip breakfast and go have some morning tea!"

Shu Tangyin asked in surprise, "The two of us are going?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Old Qin is treating."

Shu Tangyin suddenly realized.

The two drove out and arrived at Guanyun Teahouse.

This teahouse is considered one of the oldest teahouses in Beijing.

Because "Guanyun" sounds like "official career," many nobles and high-ranking officials like to come here to drink tea.

Enter the teahouse.

Gao Ping was already waiting at the door. After a few greetings, he led Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin to the private room.

Inside the private room.

There are three people.

Old Qin, and the butcher and the doctor.

The two exchanged greetings again.

Then Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin sat down.

The doctor personally poured tea for Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin.

Old Qin smiled and said, "I didn't know what kind of tea you liked, so I ordered a pot of Da Hong Pao tea, along with some snacks."

Chen Yun laughed and said, "That's fine. We're all family here, no need for so much formality."

Old Qin first asked Chen Yun about his wedding date with Shu Tangyin, and then reiterated that he must be invited to be the witness at the wedding. Then he said to Chen Yun seriously, "I invited you here for tea today, firstly to catch up with the old days, and secondly to talk to you about the Shadow Mountain Society."

Chen Yun said, "Hmm?"

Old Qin said, "The butcher and the doctor have already interrogated Zuo Wei. Zuo Wei confessed that the Shadow Mountain Society has two more strongholds."

Chen Yun said, "It's normal for a cunning rabbit to have three burrows."

Old Qin said, "Last night, the Butcher and the Doctor led their men to the other two strongholds. Although they arrested some people and didn't come up empty-handed, quite a few members of the Shadow Mountain Society learned that Zuo Wei had been arrested and fled in advance."

"I ordered the butcher and the doctor to do everything they could to hunt down these people."

"But these people have multiple identities, and it will probably be difficult to capture them all in a short time."

Chen Yun said, "It's alright, take your time."

Old Qin nodded: "Zuo Wei also told me something else. These people are all under the command of Onizuka Ryu from Japan. Onizuka Ryu is hailed as the successor to Chiba Ryuji. It is said that Onizuka Ryu is determined to kill you to avenge Chiba Ryuji!"

"I'm just reminding you today to be careful, and not to lose Jingzhou due to carelessness."

Chen Yun smiled faintly and said, "I have countless enemies. Onizuka Ryu is not even on my list of enemies. If he dares to send anyone to cause trouble, I will kill them one by one."

"It would be even better if he came in person."

Old Qin cautioned, "We must not be careless and must still be cautious."

After that, everyone drank tea, ate snacks, and chatted.

They were talking about work-related topics.

Shu Tangyin couldn't get a word in edgewise.

She whispered to Chen Yun, "Honey, I'm going to the restroom. You two talk first."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Okay!"

Shu Tangyin got up and left the private room.

But unexpectedly, something bad happened in no time.

Chen Yun received a call from Shu Tangyin, whose anxious voice came through: "Honey, someone is being unreasonable and harassing me. You need to come out and deal with it."

Chen Yun's expression suddenly turned cold, and he got up and walked towards the door.

Old Qin, Gao Ping, and the butcher doctor were stunned by what they saw and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Chen Yun said, "Someone is bullying Tang Yin. I'll go out and take a look."

Before Elder Qin and the others could react, Chen Yun's figure had already disappeared.

In the teahouse lobby.

In the corridor leading to the restroom.

A carefree rich kid, along with a few companions, surrounded Shu Tangyin.

It turns out that this rich young man's name is Liu Hui.

I'm having tea here with a few companions.

Upon seeing that Shu Tangyin was stunningly beautiful, her companions egged Liu Hui on to strike up a conversation.

Liu Hui, who calls himself a heartbreaker in the dating scene, naturally refused to back down in front of his companions.

So they blocked Shu Tangyin's way.

To strike up a conversation.

Unexpectedly, Shu Tangyin completely ignored him!

It hurt his self-esteem.

So he and a few companions blocked Shu Tangyin's way, preventing her from leaving.

At this moment, he grinned mischievously at Shu Tangyin and said, "You have a husband? That beautiful lady wouldn't mind having another husband, would she?"

Little did they know.

Chen Yun had already arrived at that moment.

Chen Yun patted the guy on the shoulder.

This guy is being a scoundrel to Shu Tangyin!

Annoyed at being patted on the shoulder from behind, he turned around and angrily yelled at Chen Yun, "Who do you think you are, minding your own business? Are you your wife?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yun nodded and said coldly, "Yes, my wife!"

Liu Hui was stunned upon hearing this.

Before he could react...

Chen Yun acted swiftly, slapping the guy hard across the face.

Snap!

A loud bang.

Liu Hui was sent flying by a slap from Chen Yun.

The crowd exclaimed in alarm, "Something terrible has happened! This guy hit Young Master Liu! This is a big problem!"
