After Chen Yun hung up the phone, he noticed that Old Qin was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
He was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and said, "Some ignorant fools said they wanted to take my life. I'll let them come and take it."
Old Qin looked him up and down: "I wanted to ask, is your mental illness really cured?"
Chen Yun shrugged and said, "It's because there are always these clueless people who annoy me that I can't get better!"
The two stared at each other, then burst into laughter.
After laughing.
Old Qin waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's get down to business."
They didn't ask who the person who called to threaten Chen Yun's life was.
They didn't even ask Chen Yun if he needed help.
Because we don't need it!
He was well aware of Chen Yun's abilities and his personality.
If Chen Yun really can't handle it, she will definitely ask him for help.
By remaining silent, Chen Yun was implying that he could handle the situation.
Chen Yun lit a cigarette and said, "Old man, tell me, what is it? I've been guessing for ages!"
Old Qin watched Chen Yun smoke with some envy, but the doctor had recently been strictly requiring him to quit smoking and drinking, so he could only endure it.
He said calmly, "It's also related to some ignorant people, except that these ignorant people come from abroad."
Chen Yun: "Hmm?"
Old Qin slowly said, "Didn't you encounter an assassination attempt by the King of Assassins sent by foreign enemies a few days ago? You also managed to destroy the stronghold of an internal traitor working for the enemy!"
Chen Yun nodded.
Old Qin continued, "After interrogation, we have preliminarily concluded that foreign enemies have secretly established an organization here, specifically for intelligence gathering and assassination."
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes: "Then hurry up and find all these traitors and slaughter them like pigs and dogs."
Old Qin shook his head: "Things aren't that simple!"
"This organization is very mysterious, with a strict and meticulous structure and operating model."
“The traitors at the lower levels are all responsible to their superiors on a one-way basis. They don’t even know each other and are unaware of each other’s existence.”
"So right now all we know is that this organization exists, and that its code name is Black Spirit. We know nothing else."
Chen Yun frowned: "Black Spirit?"
Old Qin nodded: "Yes, there is a black mist in the Classic of Mountains and Seas called Black Spirit. It lurks in the dark side of people's hearts, causing them to despair and fall into depravity, eventually turning them into stone."
Chen Yun said, "This is a disease!"
Old Qin said, "That's why we have to eliminate them! But we don't have much information right now. We have a few suspects, but because of insufficient evidence, we can't act rashly for fear of alerting them."
Chen Yun frowned and asked, "Old Qin, what are your plans?"
Old Qin said, "The evidence is insufficient, it's just suspicion. My departments can't act rashly, but your people can!"
Chen Yun was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Old Qin smiled and said, "You little devil, do you need any evidence or explanations to do what you do? And your crazi Lin Le and his men, they are all loyal and righteous people in society!"
"It makes sense that these loyal and righteous men unintentionally destroyed a few traitor strongholds and captured a few traitors, doesn't it?"
Chen Yun was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this: "I understand. You want me to take charge of this matter, to have my men deal with the Black Spirit Organization and eradicate it?"
Old Qin smiled and said, "Other departments will also conduct investigations into this organization as usual, but they are easily hampered. As for you, just do your part. After all, no one can restrain you. There are many things that you can do, and they may have unexpected effects."
Chen Yun said, "Old man, don't say that. What do you mean by 'no one can restrain me'? You make it sound like I'm lawless."
Old Qin chuckled and said, "In the eyes of us old folks, you're a lawless brat. Otherwise, the other old men wouldn't have unanimously agreed to let you retire. Actually, we just wanted to temper your temper so we could entrust you with important responsibilities in the future."
Chen Yun waved his hand: "Alright, alright, I've had enough of the empty promises you old men make. I'll listen to what you have to say for now!"
Old Qin glared: "What do you mean by 'pie in the sky'? When did I ever give you any empty promises? Hurry up and state your opinion: are you going to accept this task or not?"
Chen Yun said, "Old man, since you've already asked, how can I refuse? Besides, I'm just providing assistance; the main work is still handled by your departments. I'm just sitting here anyway, so I'll lend a hand!"
Seeing that Chen Yun agreed, Elder Qin said with satisfaction, "Good, Di Ting will contact you if anything happens."
Chen Yun nodded.
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
Chen Yun glanced at the time and realized it was getting late. Knowing that Elder Qin was too old to stay up late, he got up and said goodbye.
"Xiao Gao, see Chen Yun out."
Old Qin called Gao Ping in and gave him instructions.
Gao Ping, dressed in plain clothes, extended his hand to Chen Yun and said respectfully, "Mr. Chen, please."
In the hallway by the entrance.
Shu Tangyin and Lin Le had been waiting for a long time.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Old Qin needs to rest. Let's go back!"
Accompanied by Gao Ping, they came out of the guesthouse.
But just then...
The roar of car engines came from ahead, and more than a dozen commercial vehicles sped up and stopped in front of the guesthouse.
Under the astonished gazes of Chen Yun and the others.
More than ten commercial vehicles were pulled up, from which dozens of men dressed in black, looking menacing.
Immediately after, a fifty-year-old man dressed in cloth clothes and shoes, with white hair at his temples, came down.
He had deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, and thin lips. His face looked somewhat like a zombie at night, which was quite eerie.
He was Xiao Tu, the head steward of the Xiao family in the capital.
With his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding two copper balls the size of pigeon eggs, Xiao Tu squinted at Chen Yun and his group while twirling the balls. He then said with a sinister smile, "Boy, I am Xiao Tu, the chief steward of the Xiao family."
"My master wants to see you."
"Are you going to come with us on your own now, or do you want me to crush the bones in your hands and feet and drag you back to see our master like a dog?"
Shu Tangyin's face paled.
Lin Le was furious.
Even Gao Ping stared at Xiao Tu and his group with icy eyes.
Hidden in the shadows of the guesthouse, dozens of heavily armed soldiers were quietly watching Xiao Tu and his group. These were the guards responsible for protecting Elder Qin!
Xiao Tu and his group never expected that this ordinary guesthouse was hiding so many warriors.
At this moment, they were viciously threatening Chen Yun to go with them!
Chen Yun smiled and said sarcastically, "Just you and the bunch of good-for-nothings behind you?"
Xiao Tu's face darkened: "With me and the men behind me, we can kill you and your friends a hundred times over tonight!"
Chen Yun looked at Gao Ping beside him and smiled, "Xiao Gao, he said he could make us die a hundred times over. What do you think?"
Gao Ping, with a blank expression, replied, "In response to Mr. Chen, they are like someone holding a lantern in a latrine—they're courting death!"
Xiao Tu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in an unfriendly tone, "Heh, it seems that you won't know fear until one or two of you die tonight."
Chen Yun smiled: "Are you sure?"
Xiao Tu viciously ordered his men, "Attack! Deaths and injuries are no object. If anyone is injured, take them back to see the master. If anyone is dead, take their body back!"
Dozens of Xiao family thugs responded in unison, "Yes, Chief Steward!"
They were about to take action against Chen Yun and his party in front of the guesthouse.
Gao Ping sneered: "Are you bullying us because we outnumber you? Guards!"
With a shout from him, dozens of heavily armed guards emerged from the darkness.
The soldiers carrying submachine guns immediately stood behind Chen Yun, glaring sharply at Xiao Tu and his group.
Xiao Tu was stunned.
The group of thugs behind him were so frightened that they froze.
One of them was deathly pale and drenched in sweat.
Chen Yun waved his hand and said calmly, "Come and fight!"
Whoosh!
Dozens of guards behind Chen Yun simultaneously assumed a fighting stance, raised their submachine guns, aimed at Xiao Tu and a group of Xiao family thugs, and shouted in unison, "Come and fight!"
Xiao Tu and his men were terrified, and many of them wet their pants on the spot.
Shu Tangyin's eyes widened, her face filled with shock as she watched this scene.
Lin Le was even more excited, his eyes filled with fervent admiration for Chen Yun!
