Are you ready for battle?
What's the point of fighting?!
The dozens of thugs from the Xiao family looked at the guards behind Chen Yun and at the dark muzzles of the guns in their hands.
They all wanted to cry right now!
Many of the more timid ones wet their pants on the spot.
How can we fight like this?
Xiao Tu was also terrified!
But as the head steward of the Xiao family, he was knowledgeable and experienced, and he performed slightly better at this moment.
At least he didn't wet his pants!
He couldn't understand why Chen Yun had so many guards around him.
Are these Chen Yun's guards?
Or were they soldiers from the guesthouse?
He raised his hands, smiling broadly as he stepped forward: "Don't shoot, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, we were just joking..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
One of the guards behind Chen Yun and Gao Ping immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Don't go any further!"
With that, he swung the butt of his rifle and smashed it into Xiao Tu's face.
Snap!
Xiao Tu's face was covered in blood from the blow. He let out a miserable groan, covered his face with his hands, and squatted down.
Gao Ping shouted at Xiao Tu's men, "All of you, put your hands on your heads and squat down!"
Upon hearing this, the dozens of thugs from the Xiao family immediately covered their heads with their hands and squatted down.
The guards stepped forward with submachine guns and firmly controlled the situation.
Seeing this, Xiao Tu's eyes grew even more panicked. He raised his blood-covered face and looked at Chen Yun in terror.
Chen Yun smiled enigmatically: "Are you kidding me?"
"Calling to threaten to kill me, is this a joke?"
Xiao Tu dared not utter a sound.
Chen Yun added, "Bringing so many people here to shout and kill, are you kidding me?"
"You guys are really brave!"
"They even dared to come to the entrance of the military district guesthouse and kill people!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tu was shocked. Only then did he realize that the seemingly ordinary guesthouse in front of him was actually a military guesthouse.
In an instant, his face turned deathly pale, and he was drenched in sweat.
This time they really messed up!
Now I finally understand why Gao Ping said he was courting death by carrying a lantern in a latrine!
Xiao Tu's mouth tasted bitter: "I—"
Chen Yun said coldly, "Since you like to play so much, I'll let you play to your heart's content."
After saying that, he turned to Gao Ping and said, "Xiao Gao, arrest all of them and throw them into the base prison. No outsiders are allowed to inquire or meet them. Let the guards of the base prison have some fun with these people."
"Yes!" Gao Ping responded, then waved to the guards on site: "Arrest all these thugs and send them to the prison at the Zhonghai base."
Soon, Xiao Tu and his group were all arrested.
Gao Ping asked, "Mr. Chen, the Xiao family is blind to your abilities, sending people to cause you trouble. Do you want me to teach them a lesson for you?"
Chen Yun said calmly, "No need, I can handle it myself. There's no need to waste national resources."
The Xiao family was on Chen Yun's revenge list.
If Gao Ping were to teach the Xiao family a lesson, Chen Yun would be unwilling to give them a light punishment, and Gao Ping would not be able to cruelly wipe out the Xiao family.
Therefore, Chen Yun politely declined Gao Ping's help!
After all, it's best to take revenge personally.
Gao Ping was unaware of the deep-seated hatred between Chen Yun and the Xiao family. Hearing Chen Yun's polite refusal, he did not insist and nodded, saying, "Then I'll leave you here. Mr. Chen, please be careful on your way back."
Chen Yun nodded slightly: "Mm!"
He and Shu Tangyin got into the car, and Lin Le continued to drive. The three of them drove away.
...
late at night.
Zhonghai Hotel.
In the presidential suite.
Xiao Chongshan, along with his two sons Xiao Wenhu and Xiao Wenbao, and a large number of Xiao family elites, were waiting for the head steward to bring Chen Yun back.
But they waited until late into the night and the head butler still hadn't returned.
Xiao Chongshan couldn't sit still any longer: "What's going on? Why hasn't the housekeeper returned yet? Second brother, call and ask!"
Xiao Wenhu shook his head: "Dad, I called him a while ago, but I couldn't get through. I originally thought the housekeeper had turned off his phone while he was working, but now it seems that's not the case. Something might have happened to him."
Xiao Chongshan's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Third brother, contact your friends in the local police and find out what's going on."
Xiao Wenbao said, "Dad, I'll go right away."
Not long after, Xiao Wenbao returned with a strange expression.
Xiao Chongshan hurriedly asked, "Third brother, how's the investigation going?"
Xiao Wenhu and the others also looked at Xiao Wenbao.
Xiao Wenbao's expression was strange as he said, "The steward and his party have disappeared, as if they've vanished into thin air."
Xiao Chongshan's eyes widened.
The rest of the Xiao family members were also stunned.
After a while.
Xiao Chongshan came to his senses, both shocked and furious: "The butler and his dozens of men, along with more than ten vehicles, have simply vanished into thin air, and your friend can't even find their whereabouts?"
Xiao Wenbao said awkwardly, "My friend stammered and spoke vaguely, implying that something had happened to the butler and his party, and that he couldn't do anything about it. He told us not to get involved, not to cause trouble, and to leave Zhonghai as soon as possible."
Xiao Chongshan angrily said, "I came here specifically to seek revenge on Chen Yun, but I haven't even gotten my revenge yet, and now the steward has also disappeared. How can I just run back to the capital in such a disheveled and incompetent manner?"
After saying that, he looked suspicious and asked, "How exactly did Chen Yun manage to make the butler and his group disappear without a trace, without even the police having any right to investigate?"
Xiao Wenhu said in a deep voice, "I've inquired about it. Chen Yun has a good relationship with wealthy people like Liang Chenglong in Zhonghai. He also has two capable subordinates: Long Pingting, who is in charge of managing the money, and Lin Le, who is in charge of fighting."
"Chen Yun seems to be with Lin Le tonight."
"I have reason to believe that it was Lin Le who led those people from Longmen to kidnap the steward and his party."
Xiao Chongshan cursed, "How dare a little Dragon Gate mess with the Xiao family? They're courting death!"
"Second brother!"
Xiao Wenhu said, "Dad, I'm here!"
Xiao Chongshan ordered, "Revenge should not be delayed overnight. You immediately take the four great generals of our Xiao family, along with a hundred elite men, and go and wipe out Longmen to rescue the steward."
Xiao Wenhu exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, is it really necessary to mobilize all four Vajras to deal with a mere Dragon Gate? Isn't that overkill?"
Xiao Chongshan said in a deep voice, "This is the effect I want! It's already past midnight. You should hurry over there, destroy the Dragon Gate, and then come back so we can have breakfast together."
Xiao Wenhu said, "Alright!"
After saying that, he began to gather his men.
...
Guolong Hotel.
General Manager's Office.
Chen Yun and Lin Le were drinking tea.
It turned out that after Chen Yun took Shu Tangyin home, he went to the Guolong Hotel with Lin Le, where he had something to talk to Lin Le about.
At this moment, Chen Yun took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Ah Le, when I donated 90% of the hotel's profits to the Northern Army, I was donating my share. Why did you get involved and donate half of your share as well?"
Lin Le smiled and said, "I've been inspired by you, Mr. Chen, and I also want to do something within my power."
"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Chen, but when I was young I really wanted to be a soldier. However, I was in a detention center for fighting when I was a teenager, so I didn't meet the requirements and couldn't join the army."
"Now, following Mr. Chen, we donate money to the Northern Army every year to help the families of martyrs in need. I guess that's how we do our part!"
Chen Yun laughed and said, "You're not a bad person. Although there are some areas where you could improve, you're still pretty good overall."
Lin Le hurriedly replied, "It's all thanks to Mr. Chen's guidance."
Chen Yun said, "Old Qin gave me a small task tonight and suggested that you brothers from the Dragon Gate participate, but I think this task is too dangerous. After thinking it over, I'd like you to make the decision yourselves."
Then he started talking about the investigation into eradicating the Black Spirit organization.
Finally, he said, "This mission is very dangerous. We could face retaliation from the enemy at any time, and it might even endanger our families."
Whether you participate or not is up to you.
"If you are willing to participate in the mission, you will no longer be scoundrels. After making contributions, you can earn a clean and glorious identity. If you do not want to participate, I will not blame you. Just pretend you do not know anything about it, and this matter must never be revealed to the outside world."
Lin Le dreams of clearing his name!
However, he went astray when he was young, and by adulthood he was already involved in the underworld.
There was absolutely no choice!
Hearing that Chen Yun was planning to investigate and eliminate the traitorous organization, he said without hesitation, "Mr. Chen, what's there to consider? I can decide right now. I want to fight alongside you and eliminate these traitorous bastards!"
Chen Yun patted Lin Le on the shoulder with a smile: "Haha, I didn't misjudge you. Keep up the good work, and if you make some contributions in the future, I'll get you a good position."
Lin Le excitedly replied, "Yes, Mr. Chen!"
Just then, Lin Le's walkie-talkie crackled to life: "Mr. Lin, something terrible has happened! A large group of people have arrived at the hotel entrance. They're yelling at you to come out and see them, or they'll smash up our hotel and wipe out Longmen."
Lin Le was furious upon hearing this.
Chen Yun also narrowed his eyes.
