The crowd looked at Xue Zhaopeng and his group of spoiled brats with varying expressions.
These guys wanted Chen Yun's arms, Chen Yun's legs, and Chen Yun's property.
Now look what happened, they've shot themselves in the foot.
Not only were they beaten half to death by Chen Yun, but now they are being forced to line up and pay a ransom to save their lives.
While everyone was shocked, many others were secretly pleased.
Because of Xue Zhaopeng and his ilk, who are spoiled brats, they rely on their families' power and influence to monopolize many industry resources. Moreover, whenever they see a new industry that makes money, they will try every means to get involved and steal other people's jobs.
People have always been angry but dared not speak out against Xue Zhaopeng and his ilk.
Now, finally someone has stood up to deal with these lawless bastards.
Just then.
The closed door was forced open from the outside.
A group of men dressed in black with buzz cuts rushed in, their faces serious.
The people present were slightly taken aback when they saw this scene.
Everyone assumed they were either the boss's wife, Sister Hong's, people, or reinforcements for playboys like Xue Zhaopeng.
Unexpectedly, after the group of men in black with buzz cuts entered, they looked around the room and their eyes quickly fell on Chen Yun.
Seeing that Chen Yun was alright, they seemed relieved and quickly approached him, respectfully greeting, "Mr. Chen!"
Chen Yun frowned slightly when he saw the group of men in black with buzz cuts: "What brings you here?"
It turned out that this group of men in black with buzz cuts were plainclothes bodyguards sent by Elder Qin to protect Chen Yun.
These plainclothes guards had been secretly protecting Chen Yun.
Having just learned that Chen Yun had clashed with members of the Prince's Society and discovering that the main door to the second floor of the club was locked, they feared for Chen Yun's safety and, without thinking twice, barged in.
Now, facing Chen Yun's questioning.
The head of the guards lowered his head and said weakly, "We were worried that Mr. Chen might be in danger, so..."
Chen Yun said, "I'm fine! Oh well, since you're here, you're here!"
“You help Laifu make these scoundrels line up and pay their ransom one by one.”
"Those who refuse to pay, just beat them to death."
A group of guards replied in unison, "Yes, Mr. Chen!"
The people present reacted with varying expressions upon witnessing this scene.
The club's owner, Zhen Hong, finally couldn't sit still any longer.
As the proprietress here, if she were to stand idly by and watch Xue Zhaopeng and his group of powerful young men get into trouble on her turf, she couldn't bear the responsibility if their families came after her.
So, she steeled herself, stepped forward with a group of managers and security guards, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, this is my territory after all. Is it inappropriate for you to treat Young Master Xue and the others like this in my territory?"
She was fine when she didn't speak, but as soon as she did, Chen Yun's cold gaze fell on her.
Chen Yun said, "If you hadn't said anything, I would have almost forgotten about you."
Zhen Hong's expression turned ugly upon hearing this.
Chen Yun said coldly, "Please wait a moment, it will be your turn later!"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Hong turned pale, and though she wanted to speak, she stopped herself.
Seeing Chen Yun's forceful attitude and the fact that they were all seriously injured, Xue Zhaopeng and his gang of spoiled brats decided to pay up for their lives first, get through this ordeal, and settle accounts with Chen Yun later.
So Xue Zhaopeng was the first to make the payment.
This guy spent 2 billion!
It was the money he and his brother earned by risking their lives.
After confirming that the funds had been received, Lai Fu grinned and said, "Now that we've received the payment from the Xue brothers, they can get lost. Goodbye!"
Zhang Yanqing smiled.
Xue Zhaopeng and Xue Feihong, their faces flushed with shame and indignation, left angrily with their injured bodyguard.
Following suit, the other playboys were also forced to make payments in order to survive and leave.
In the end, Chen Yun actually received a huge sum of 18 billion!
Upon hearing the final total amount from Lai Fubao, Chen Yun couldn't help but say, "Tsk tsk, these bastards are really rich. Do you think I took too little by charging each of them 1 billion?"
Zhao Qingyu and the others were speechless upon hearing Chen Yun's words.
The general manager received 18 billion yuan, is that still not enough?
Zhang Yanqing picked up his drink, took a sip, and said calmly, "Chen Yun, you really know how to make money! You've managed to squeeze 18 billion from these powerful and influential disciples in one go! But, to me, this money is a hot potato!"
In fact, Zhang Yanqing was kindly reminding Chen Yun.
Chen Yun went too far tonight.
Not only did they injure Xue Zhaopeng and his powerful disciples, but they also took such a large sum of money from them.
I'm afraid these powerful and influential families won't let this go easily, and they might even unite to cause trouble for Chen Yun!
Zhang Yanqing knew that Chen Yun's identity was not simple, and also knew that Chen Yun had been jointly recommended by a group of elders to serve as Grand Commander.
Although the king verbally agreed.
But the final appointment letter from the king has not yet been issued!
This means that there are still variables.
Chen Yun's outburst tonight has offended many powerful families in Beijing, and is bound to provoke dissatisfaction from a large number of influential figures.
Zhang Yanqing was worried that if things escalated too much, it would negatively impact Chen Yun.
What if the matter eventually reaches the king?
Ultimately, this would affect Chen Yun's appointment as Grand Commander, which would be a huge loss for Chen Yun.
Therefore, Zhang Yanqing was kindly reminding Chen Yun to teach Xue Zhaopeng and his ilk a lesson, otherwise they would be hated if they actually took the money.
The best course of action would be to reveal the identity of the War God of the Northern Frontier, forcing these powerful families to come and apologize. Then, Chen Yun could back down and return the money to everyone. This way, he could teach these powerful disciples a lesson without making things too big.
But she didn't know that Chen Yun's ruthless treatment of the powerful disciples of the Crown Prince's Society was at the behest of his superiors!
She had no idea that the person supporting Chen Yun was someone who had risen to power!
Chen Yun wanted to escalate the situation, leaving the Crown Prince's Association no way out and forcing it to lash out. Only then would he have a reason to destroy the entire Crown Prince's Association, and even the powerful families behind it would not be spared!
So, Chen Yun pretended not to understand Zhang Yanqing's well-intentioned reminder and said with a smile, "I don't think it's a hot potato!"
"Come on, good luck!"
Lai Fu replied, "Mr. Chen, I'm here."
Chen Yun instructed, "These ill-gotten gains should still be donated to the national treasury as before."
Lai Fu replied, "Okay!"
18 billion yuan, donated to the national treasury!
Zhao Qingyu was stunned.
Zhen Hong and the others were stunned.
Even Zhang Yanqing was somewhat taken aback, and then shook his head.
Because this money was donated to the national treasury, it cannot be taken back, much less returned to powerful and wealthy families like Xue Zhaopeng.
This also means that Chen Yun and the Crown Prince have no room for maneuver.
Chen Yun finished the rest of the wine in his glass, stood up and said, "Alright, let's stop drinking here tonight, let's go!"
Shu Tangyin nodded to Zhang Yanqing.
When Zhen Hong saw that Chen Yun was about to leave, she thought that Chen Yun had forgotten about her and had forgotten to settle accounts with her!
I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Yun passed by her, he stopped, looked around at the surroundings, and turned to the group of plainclothes guards behind him, coldly saying, "I don't like the decor here. Smash this place and have the owner redo it!"
"It's Mr. Chen!"
A group of bodyguards immediately started smashing things, leaving the decorations in a mess.
The crowd screamed and ran away in fright.
Several fearless security guards stepped forward to stop them, but were immediately beaten and sent flying backward with their faces covered in blood.
In the end, no one dared to step forward to stop them.
Seeing her place smashed to pieces, Zhen Hong knew this was Chen Yun teaching her a lesson. Her face turned pale and then red, and she trembled with anger, but she didn't dare to utter a sound. She could only watch helplessly as Chen Yun left...
