Cheng Xilei stared at Chen Yun in utter shock.
Over the years, all she knew was that Chen Yun had been kicked out of the Chen family and that he had fallen on hard times after losing his title as the eldest son of the Chen family.
She repeatedly inquired about Chen Yun's whereabouts, but there was still no news.
It wasn't until recently, when Yang Hongwei sent a message in the classmates' WeChat group, that she regained Chen Yun's contact information.
Chen Yun returned to Beijing quietly this time.
Seeing that Chen Yun's personality had become much calmer, Cheng Xilei assumed that Chen Yun had become more mature and composed after his years of hardship, unlike the flamboyant young master Chen he once was.
But now, after listening to Gao Ping's words...
She then learned that Chen Yun had actually joined the army all these years and had even risen to the position of commander of the Northern Frontier!
No wonder, after she met Chen Yun again, she found that he had become so mature, steady, and composed.
No wonder Chen Yun doesn't even respect the Gu family of Dongying, and even dares to beat up Gu Zhihao!
No wonder Chen Yun was able to mobilize an entire army unit with just one phone call tonight!
So, Chen Yun once served as the commander of the Northern Frontier!
For a moment, she looked at Chen Yun with a mixture of shock and admiration, and a hint of pride rose in her heart: No wonder he is the man I, Chen Xilei, took a liking to when we were in school. Even if he leaves the Chen family, he can still become a dragon among men!
Lei Zhihua and the others, however, looked at Chen Yun with completely different feelings.
Lei Zhihua learned that Chen Yun had once served as the commander of the northern border, and judging from the respectful attitude that Gao Ping and others now showed towards Chen Yun, Chen Yun's current status in the army was not low.
After realizing that he had offended a very powerful and influential person.
He was kicking himself now.
I felt like dying.
Completely forgetting the pain of his wound, he stared at Chen Yun with pleading eyes, begging Chen Yun to give him a chance and spare his life.
Chen Yun has not yet said how to deal with Lei Zhihua and his gang.
Sun Yuchuan angrily said, "These bastards have no regard for the law. Not only did they kidnap me and my daughter, but they also planned to kidnap us and then lure Chen Yun here to kill us."
"Just because he tried to kill Chen Yun earlier, we can't let him go."
"Chen Yun, I suggest we shoot them all on the spot!"
Sun Yuchuan, a former soldier of the Northern Border Army, was a military doctor, but he was ruthless and decisive in killing. He immediately suggested that Chen Yun kill Lei Zhihua and others.
However, Chen Yun held a very high rank in the military, at the level of a commander.
Just because Lei Zhihua had just pulled out a gun to kill Chen Yun.
Executing Lei Zhihua on the spot is not an overreaction at all.
Moreover, even if Chen Yun kills Lei Zhihua, the police have no right to interfere!
When Lei Zhihua and the others heard that they were all to be killed, they were terrified and cried out to Chen Yun for mercy: "Young Master Chen... no, Commander Chen, we know we were wrong. We really didn't know your identity. Even if we had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, we wouldn't dare to provoke you!"
"Commander Chen, please spare our lives!"
"As long as you don't execute us, we'll do whatever you ask!"
Chen Yun's original intention was similar to Sun Yuchuan's: to kill Lei Zhihua and the others.
But seeing Lei Zhihua crying and begging for mercy, he suddenly changed his mind and said with a half-smile, "Let you go? You wanted to kill me, but now you're begging me to let you go. Give me a reason to let you go?"
Lei Zhihua hurriedly said, "Commander Chen, we didn't know your identity and accidentally offended your authority. Please, in view of our ignorance, be lenient with us."
Chen Yun smiled dismissively.
Clearly, this reason was not enough to persuade Chen Yun, nor enough to make him spare Lei Zhihua and the others.
Lei Zhihua's mind raced.
This guy is indeed the vice president of a large corporation; he's got business acumen and knows how to gain benefits.
He knew that it was impossible to get Chen Yun to let him go by using the excuse of ignorance or by taking advantage of Chen Yun's compassion.
If he wanted Chen Yun to spare him...
The only way is for him to prove that he is useful to Chen Yun, can help Chen Yun obtain benefits, and can even obtain very large benefits for Chen Yun.
So he quickly said to Chen Yun, "Commander Chen, I know that you have been dissatisfied with the Chen family ever since you were kicked out of the family. I also heard that you want to take action against Tianjiao Group and take back what belongs to you and your mother."
"As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to serve you..."
Chen Yun looked at Lei Zhihua and smiled, "You're quite the smooth operator. Tell me, how will you serve me?"
Lei Zhihua said, "Tonight I overheard Mr. Sun's conversation with you, Commander Chen, and learned that you are planning to target the stock price of Tianjiao Group in order to buy shares of Tianjiao Group at a low price and gradually erode Tianjiao Group's assets!"
"Although I believe that Commander Chen, you will achieve your goal sooner or later."
"But if I were to act as an inside man, working in coordination with your people, Commander Chen, we could definitely help you take over the Tianjiao Group much faster!"
Chen Yun became somewhat interested and said casually, "Be more specific!"
Lei Zhihua said earnestly, "I am not very talented, but I do have some ability in business. After Xiao Wenwei sidelined Chairman Chen, she was actually not very capable. It was all thanks to me that she managed this huge Tianjiao Group and kept it running."
"She still trusts me a lot, and I know a lot of internal business secrets."
"Mr. Chen, when you target Tianjiao Group and take the opportunity to buy up its stock price, I can secretly leak information to you."
"Whether Xiao Wenwei wants to raise the stock price, sell shares, or find some strong backers, or what kind of mistakes occur, I will tell you in secret."
"With me, the mole, around, Tianjiao Group has no secrets from you. Knowing yourself and your enemy, Mr. Chen, wouldn't it be much easier for you to take over Tianjiao Group?"
Chen Yun said, "It sounds like you're somewhat useful!"
Lei Zhihua quickly said, "Commander Chen, don't worry. As long as you don't kill me, my role will definitely be greater than you imagine."
Chen Yun said, "Fine, I'll keep your dog's head on your neck for now. If you dare to play any tricks on me, you know what will happen."
Sun Yuchuan couldn't help but ask, "Chen Yun, do you really trust him? What if he tries to betray you?"
Lei Zhihua got anxious and was about to say something?
Chen Yun smiled and said, "He wouldn't dare. He would dare to betray me. Even if he ran off to an African tribe, I could make one phone call and have the tribal chief arrest him and bring him to me!"
Lei Zhihua hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't have the guts!"
Chen Yun said, "Go to the hospital to treat your wound. When you get back, don't reveal my identity to the Chen family. Once I take over Tianjiao Group, I'll give Chen Rulong, Xiao Wenwei, Chen Kai, and the others a big surprise."
Lei Zhihua hurriedly replied, "Yes, I know what to do."
Chen Yun added, "I'll have Long Pingting contact you later. Long Pingting represents me personally. Do whatever she tells you to do. Also, report any moves Tianjiao Group makes to Long Pingting in a timely manner."
"If I find out you're up to no good, I'll take your head off anytime."
Lei Zhihua replied, "Yes, Mr. Chen."
