Although Chen Yun had retired, he remained a thorn in the side of foreign enemies who wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Currently, Chen Yun's bounty on the dark web is as high as 1 billion dollars, firmly holding the top spot on the assassination bounty list!
Chen Yun himself was not afraid of assassination, but he was worried that it would implicate those around him.
Therefore, after he retired from the military, he forbade others to mention his identity.
Firstly, he has a low-key personality and doesn't like to show off; secondly, he doesn't want to cause trouble or even danger to the people around him.
Chen Yun had already instructed Tang Shirong on this point.
At this moment, Shu Tangyin asked Tang Shirong curiously why he would help the Shu family.
Tang Shirong merely smiled slightly and deflected, "Hehe, I don't have any connection with your Shu family, but my nephew Tang Mingxuan is good friends with your sister Shu Lingyue!"
The Shu family members were stunned upon hearing this.
Shu Lingyue asked in surprise, "Boss Tang, could it be that Tang Mingxuan begged you to help us?"
Tang Shirong nodded, looking quite serious, and said, "Yes! Moreover, the Li family has recently had business conflicts with our Tang family, so I'm taking this opportunity to teach the Li family a lesson!"
The Shu family believed it to be true.
"So it was all thanks to Young Master Tang!"
"Xiaoyue, you'll have to thank Young Master Tang properly in the future."
"Xiaoyue, it seems like Young Master Tang has been pursuing you, hasn't he? It turns out he's reliable, so you should seize the opportunity!"
Grandpa Shu and Shu Lingyue's parents all spoke highly of Shu Lingyue, clearly regarding Tang Mingxuan as the greatest contributor.
Shu Lingyue gave perfunctory replies to her grandfather and parents, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Shu Tangyin beside her, her expression showing a hint of pride and smugness, as if to say to Shu Tangyin: See? In the end, my suitor is still more outstanding than your boyfriend!
At this moment, Shu Tangyin was focused entirely on Chen Yun, carefully checking him to see if he was injured, and didn't notice Shu Lingyue's smug and defiant gaze at all.
Shu Lingyue felt a surge of anger, thinking to herself: Look at how worried you are about him, you really think he's a hot commodity! So what if he knows a little martial arts? If Mingxuan hadn't called Boss Tang to help us tonight, we don't even know if we could have gotten out of here safely!
As she thought this, she felt even more grateful to Tang Mingxuan and Tang Shirong.
So she tidied herself up and said sweetly to Tang Shirong, "Uncle Tang, thank you for saving us tonight. Please tell Mingxuan for me when you get home."
Tang Shirong gave a casual "oh" and then ignored Shu Lingyue. Under Shu Lingyue's astonished gaze, he went up to Chen Yun and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave now."
Chen Yun nodded slightly: "Okay!"
Tang Shirong repeatedly said, "Goodbye, Mr. Chen!"
After saying that, he left with his men.
Shu Lingyue stared at the strange scene before her with surprise and disbelief.
Logically speaking, since Boss Tang came specifically to rescue her, he should have paid more attention to her.
But why was Boss Tang so dismissive of her?
On the contrary, they seemed to be very polite to Chen Yun?
They were even so polite that it sounded almost like they were trying to curry favor!
What exactly happened?
Shu Lingyue looked at Chen Yun with a face full of suspicion, completely puzzled.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The Shu family members also felt that Boss Tang seemed to be a little too polite to Chen Yun, but they didn't think much of it and just assumed that Boss Tang admired Chen Yun's skills.
Everyone watched Tang Shirong and his group leave.
Old Master Shu withdrew his gaze, looked at Shu Tangyin, and sneered, "It's all your fault! If Xiaoyue hadn't called Young Master Tang and asked Boss Tang for help, we would all have been killed by you!"
Shu Tangyin was unconvinced, feeling that if it weren't for her grandfather's snobbishness and insistence on forcing her to marry Li Zihao, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
She wanted to argue her case.
But her parents quickly pulled her back, signaling her to stop talking.
Chen Yun glanced at Old Master Shu with a cold expression.
Just one glance was enough to make Old Master Shu much more restrained.
Shu Lingyue was beginning to suspect that Chen Yun's identity might not be so simple, so she quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Grandpa, let's not talk about the past. Chen Yun did his best tonight, even if he didn't do anything special. If it weren't for him, we might not have been able to hold out until Boss Tang came to rescue us."
Grandpa Shu was feeling uneasy under Chen Yun's cold gaze, so he quickly went along with it and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. After all, we're all family!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Tangyin's mother secretly shoved her husband.
Shu Tangyin's father understood his wife's implication and said weakly, "Dad, you see, Boss Tang has already helped us resolve the matter, and you yourself said we're all family, so can you let Xiaoyin go back to work at the company?"
Grandpa Shu wanted to refuse, but he found Chen Yun looking at him indifferently.
He had heard that Chen Yun was mentally ill, and he was terrified that if he said anything that displeased Chen Yun, Chen Yun would beat him up.
So he didn't dare to go too far, and only snorted coldly: "It's not that Xiaoyin can't go back to work at the company, but that depends on whether she has the ability."
As he spoke, he looked at Shu Tangyin: "Xiaoyin, don't say that Grandpa won't give you a chance. As long as you can complete a task, Grandpa will not only let you go back to work at the company, but also reinstate your position as the head of the business department; if you can't do it, then you can only blame yourself for not being capable enough."
Shu Tangyin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then put on a serious expression: "What kind of mission is it?"
Old Master Shu said, "Recently, many of our Shu family company's partners have been delaying payments, especially the Li Group, which owes us more than ten million. If you can get this money back from the Li Group, you will be a great contributor to the company, and I will immediately reinstate you to your position."
Shu Tangyin exclaimed in surprise, "Li Group? Isn't that Li Zihao's mother's company? Our relationship with the Li family is now extremely hostile, so it might be difficult to collect the payment."
The Shu family members are still unaware that Li Tianlin is dead!
Everyone naively thought that Boss Tang had only given Li Tianlin and the others a beating!
The relationship between the Shu family and the Li family is no longer as simple as being at odds; it is one of irreconcilable enmity.
If the Shu family knew that Li Tianlin was dead, they probably wouldn't dare to ask for the money back.
Grandpa Shu snorted coldly, "Since it's a test of your abilities, it must be difficult. Otherwise, why would I send you to do it?"
Shu Tangyin hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, I'll give it a try! After all, the Li Group probably deliberately delayed paying for the goods because of me. For both public and private reasons, I should go and get this money back."
When Grandpa Shu saw that Shu Tangyin had accepted the challenge, he nodded in satisfaction and instructed Shu Lingyue, "Xiaoyue, you go with your sister tomorrow and keep an eye on her to see if she can successfully get the payment back."
Shu Lingyue replied, "Yes, Grandpa!"
Grandpa Shu and the others left.
Chen Yun and Shu Tangyin's family also started to return home.
On the way, Shu Tangyin was filled with worry.
Although she didn't know that Li Tianlin was dead, she still felt that it would be very difficult to collect the debt from the Li Group.
Chen Yun saw the worry in Shu Tangyin's heart and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you tomorrow. Let's see who dares not to pay back the money?"
