Chen Yun signaled to the butcher and the others to put away their guns and cease combat.
Zhang Yanqing led Zhang Yang and the others over.
Before they even got close, Zhang Yang sneered, "Heh, Chen Yun, is this how you welcome us?"
Chen Yun said indifferently, "When did I say you were welcome?"
"Didn't I tell my men to tell you not to interfere in the affairs of our Northern Army?"
"It's one thing if you don't know you're unpopular, but can't you even understand human language?"
Zhang Yang is Zhang Yanqing's cousin and a rising star of the East China Sea Navy.
Normally, he admired Old Zhang and respected Zhang Yanqing. Apart from these two, he was arrogant and looked down on everyone else.
In addition, there were matchmaking events back then.
Zhang Yanqing took the initiative to show goodwill.
Chen Yun refused in public.
This embarrassed Zhang Yanqing and also made Zhang Yang hate Chen Yun, thinking that Chen Yun was a shameless scoundrel who didn't know how to be polite.
Tonight, they spontaneously implicated each other in the arrest of Qin Lu.
Despite receiving a warning from Chen Yun relayed by the butcher.
But they still didn't take it seriously and insisted on getting involved.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yun's domineering attitude remained the same as before, and he loudly questioned them whether they could not understand human language.
Zhang Yang's anger flared up instantly. He glared at Chen Yun and said, "You, surnamed Chen, used to be the commander of the Northern Border, and I still respected you. Now that you've retired, you still dare to talk so arrogantly to us. Do you believe I can embarrass you right now?"
As he spoke, the guy raised his fist, seemingly unintentionally, conveying a strong sense of threat.
Chen Yun coldly replied, "I don't believe it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang's eyes widened, feeling a strong sense of being looked down upon. He was so angry that he immediately wanted to step forward and spar with Chen Yun.
Chen Yun's phoenix eyes were half-open, just waiting for this guy to make the first move, so he could slap him down!
Just as Zhang Yang was about to make a move, his face full of anger.
Zhang Yanqing spoke up, her voice as clear as a mountain stream in March, crisp yet tinged with coldness: "Zhang Yang, stop!"
Zhang Yang is arrogant, but she is very respectful of her cousin and superior.
Upon hearing Zhang Yanqing's words, he immediately retreated to Zhang Yanqing's side. Although he was still glaring at Chen Yun, he showed no intention of making a move.
Chen Yun felt a little regretful.
He had been waiting for Zhang Yang to make his move, waiting to give this guy a resounding slap across the face.
at this time.
Zhang Yanqing led his men up to Chen Yun and saluted him.
Although Chen Yun no longer holds the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Frontier, his rank remains, one level higher than Zhang Yanqing's. Therefore, according to custom, Zhang Yanqing and his party must indeed salute Chen Yun.
Chen Yun raised his hand in return.
Zhang Yanqing looked Chen Yun over with her beautiful eyes and noticed that after several years, Chen Yun had lost some of his sharp and outspoken nature, but he had become more composed and had a more sophisticated air about him.
For once, her heart, as calm as a lake, was stirred with a few ripples.
However, she concealed it well, saying calmly, "Chen Yun, we have received information that a group of spies lurking in our country are planning a major operation in Zhonghai tonight, and the main person in charge of this group of spies is Qin Lu."
"We've come all this way to help you arrest people."
"Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also saying hurtful things. Isn't that going a bit too far?"
Chen Yun said irritably, "Stop it!"
"First of all, I don't need your help, and secondly, I know perfectly well what you're up to."
"I'm telling you this to your faces now: don't get involved in this, and don't even think about using this as an excuse to cause trouble!"
"If you want to deliberately put my teacher in the spotlight and embarrass him by arresting Qin Lu, then I will not agree to it."
"So if you know what's good for you, get out of here."
"If I find out that you dare to step into the Zhonghai Tower and interfere in my business with Qin Lu, I'll beat you up too!"
Zhang Yanqing frowned!
Zhang Yang was furious and wanted to curse as soon as he opened his mouth.
But Zhang Yanqing raised his hand and stopped him.
Chen Yun was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Yanqing and his group. He instructed the butcher, "You guys stand guard downstairs. If Qin Lu comes, you can do whatever you want with his men, but don't stop him. Let him enter the Zhonghai Tower and come to the rooftop to settle things with me."
The butcher said in a deep voice, "Yes, boss."
Chen Yun glanced at Zhang Yanqing and the others beside him, and added, "Also, keep an eye on these troublemakers and don't let them cause any trouble. If they dare to break into the Zhonghai Tower building, report to me immediately, and I will deal with them."
The butcher's expression was strange: "Yes, sir!"
After giving his instructions, Chen Yun strode into the Zhonghai Tower building and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhang Yang was furious and said angrily, "Vice Commander, this guy is too arrogant. If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have gone up and taught him a lesson."
Looking in the direction where Chen Yun's tall figure disappeared, Zhang Yanqing calmly said, "You are no match for him!"
Zhang Yang didn't like hearing that.
He has never fought Chen Yun, so how can he be sure he will lose?
Besides.
Chen Yun has been retired for several years now, and I guess all his martial arts skills have gone to waste.
He undergoes grueling training every day in the East China Sea Navy!
He simply didn't believe he couldn't beat Chen Yun!
However, although he was full of resentment, Zhang Yanqing was more capable than him, and she was his cousin in terms of seniority and his superior in terms of position.
So he had no choice but to suppress his resentment.
He secretly thought that when he had the chance, he would definitely beat Chen Yun up and prove his strength.
He asked Zhang Yanqing, "Chen Yun warned us not to enter the Zhonghai Tower building. What should we do now? Force our way in?"
Zhang Yanqing hesitated for two seconds, glanced at the butcher and the others who were looking wary, and finally shook his head: "If Chen Yun won't let us go in, then let's not go in! If we really anger him, he might really hit us."
Zhang Yang thought to himself: Why should I be afraid of him?
Zhang Yanqing said, "Instruct our men to spread out and deploy defenses around the Zhonghai Tower building, waiting for Qin Lu to appear."
"Capture Qin Lu immediately as soon as he appears."
"In this way, we can both avoid violating Chen Yun's rule that forbids us from entering the Tower of Zhonghai and achieve our goal of capturing Qin Lu."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly exclaimed, "That's a great idea!"
"Let's strike at the heart of the problem first, capture Qin Lu, and leave Chen Yun to stand on the rooftop in the cold wind until dawn, hahaha..."
After saying that.
They immediately split into pairs and went their separate ways.
The butcher watched this scene unfold, but inwardly he sneered, thinking to himself: Qin Lu is the son of our Elder Qin, and he used to be the second strongest fighter in our Northern Army, second only to Mr. Chen.
Qin Lu is outmatched by Mr. Chen in the Northern Army, but he's not someone you guys can mess with.
You're lucky you didn't run into Qin Lu, but if you did, you'd be in big trouble!
...
Right now.
In a dilapidated rental house.
A group of burly men with sharp eyes were eating boxed lunches on the ground, some sitting and some squatting.
Qin Lu sat on the sofa smoking, his brows furrowed.
Because he had just received news that several groups of people who had attacked Chen Yun's family or friends had all failed.
But Chen Yun, whom he hated so much he wanted to devour his flesh and drink his blood, had not been heard from at all.
He is now in a dilemma.
They wanted to kill Chen Yun, but they didn't even know where Chen Yun was.
They wanted to escape, but now the entire city of Zhonghai is under martial law.
For a moment, he felt a sense of desolation, as if he were surrounded by enemies.
Just then.
Lin Xing, one of Qin's subordinates, suddenly came over with a cell phone: "Mr. Qin, take a look."
It turned out that Qin Lu and the others' phones were all switched off.
Lin Xing was the only one with an emergency phone, which was registered under someone else's name and was still switched on.
Lin Xing discovered a text message on his phone sent by Chen Yun through the telecommunications operator. He quickly showed it to Qin Lu and asked worriedly, "How did he know my phone number? Could it be that our location has been exposed?"
Qin Lu glanced at the text message and said, "This text message is probably like a weather forecast, sent to a group, so everyone in the city can receive it."
Lin Xing said, "Ha, they've clearly set an ambush, waiting for us to walk right into their trap. We're not going to fall for it..."
Qin Lu said, "No, I want to go."
Lin Xing's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this: "Mr. Qin?"
Qin Lu slowly said, "The city is now under martial law, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and I don't have much time left. Since Chen Yun has challenged me to a duel, I must accept the challenge."
"This is my last chance, and my only chance to beat him."
Lin Xing couldn't help but say, "But the Tower of Zhonghai is definitely surrounded by ambushes..."
Qin Lu raised his head and said, "Then I will fight my way through the ambush, climb to the rooftop, and fight Chen Yun to the death!"
