"Xiao Kai!!!"
When Xiao Wenwei saw her son being taken away, her eyes turned completely red.
A glimmer of hope!
In that instant, utter despair ensued.
"Chen Yun, you little bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"
Xiao Wenwei unexpectedly pulled out a palm-sized mini pistol and pointed it at Chen Yun.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Long Pingting blurted out, instinctively putting her body in front of Chen Yun as a shield.
Lai Fu and Lin Le rushed to Chen Yun almost without thinking, protecting him behind them.
The butcher reacted with lightning speed. The instant Xiao Wenwei pulled out her palm grenade, he also drew his sidearm from his waist. Without even aiming, relying solely on instinct and experience, he raised his hand and fired a shot.
"Bang!"
A shot hit Xiao Wenwei's palm, smashing it to pieces, and the palm-mounted pistol fell to the ground.
The Northern warriors around them were a little slower, but the moment the Butcher struck Xiao Wenwei's palm, the surrounding warriors opened fire.
"Bang bang bang..."
Dozens of bullets rained down on Xiao Wenwei, causing her to tremble violently and leaving her with dozens of bloody holes.
The doctor frowned. His men, eager to protect Chen Yun, had shot and killed Xiao Wenwei immediately, so she couldn't plead for someone to stay alive.
thump!
Xiao Wenwei collapsed to the ground, large patches of blood slowly flowing beneath her body, her eyes wide open.
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
At that moment, the Northern warriors quickly surrounded the area. One warrior kicked away the palm-sized grenade on the ground, then quickly checked it and shouted, "Killed. Danger eliminated."
Long Pingting, along with Lai Fu and Lin Le, then stepped aside from Chen Yun.
Chen Yun remained seated, frowning as he looked at Xiao Wenwei lying in a pool of blood.
The butcher and the doctor quickly walked up to Chen Yun and apologized, saying, "Boss, we're sorry. We searched Chen Rulong, Chen Kai, and the others, but we didn't thoroughly search Xiao Wenwei because she was a woman and wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam. We didn't expect her to have a weapon on her."
"Please punish us, boss!"
Xiao Wenwei went to a banquet tonight wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam, which is why the butcher and the doctor were careless.
No one expected that this wealthy woman, Xiao Wenwei, would hide a palm-sized pistol on her thigh, and it almost put Commander Chen in danger.
I realized that it almost caused serious consequences.
Both the butcher and the doctor were sweating profusely and pleaded with Chen Yun to reduce their punishment.
actually!
Even if the butcher hadn't made a move, the doctor could have taken care of Xiao Wenwei.
Even if the doctor doesn't intervene, the Northern warriors present are all elites, and they can kill Xiao Wenwei before she can fire her gun.
Regardless, the butcher and the doctor felt responsible for not conducting a thorough investigation and for not eliminating the danger beforehand.
Chen Yun glanced at Xiao Wenwei's body but did not blame the butcher or the doctor, because he knew very well that Xiao Wenwei's pistol could not harm him in the slightest.
He said slowly, "I won't punish you, but this is a warning to you. Never be careless at any time, otherwise, a small oversight on the battlefield could have serious consequences."
The butcher and the doctor, both sweating profusely, replied in unison, "Yes, we will be much more careful from now on."
Chen Yun looked at Xiao Wenwei's corpse on the ground and said coldly, "It's too good for her to die like this!"
Long Pingting glanced at Wang Shuang and his group, who were kneeling on the ground beside her, trembling, and asked Chen Yun, "Young Master, what should we do with Xiao Wenwei and his lackeys?"
Immediately, Wang Shuang and the others tensed up, not daring to breathe, like prisoners awaiting trial.
Is he dead or alive?
It all came down to Chen Yun's words.
Chen Yun said, "Transfer them all to the relevant departments for handling. Investigate these people thoroughly, and deal with those involved in illegal or criminal activities severely."
The butcher and the doctor replied in unison, "Yes, boss."
Chen Yun waved his hand, signaling that the butcher and the doctor could call it a day.
The butcher ordered his men, "Take all these guys kneeling on the ground away and hand them over to the judicial authorities. Also, take this salted fish off the ground."
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Wang Shuang and the others, along with Fan Hailun, were all taken out and sent to where they were supposed to go.
After the butcher and the doctor finished their work.
Inside the Chen family's main hall.
Only Chen Yun, Long Pingting, Lai Fu, Lin Le, the butler Luo Changgui, and a group of Chen family servants remained.
Chen Yun said, "Old Luo!"
Luo Changgui replied with a complicated expression, "Young Master, I'm here!"
Chen Yun said, "From now on, call me Mr. Chen!"
Luo Changgui replied, "Yes, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Yun said, "If any of you or the servants of the Chen family are willing to stay and continue working here, then stay."
"If you don't want to stay here anymore, each of you should go to Long Pingting and collect your severance pay before leaving!"
Luo Changgui said, "I've been here for decades and I've grown attached to this place. I don't want to leave. This house has changed owners. Since Mr. Chen is willing to continue using me, I'm naturally willing to stay and look after the house for Mr. Chen."
Luo Changgui then looked at the servants of the Chen family and said, "You servants and retainers, whoever wants to leave, take the money and go!"
Everyone looked at each other and said they wouldn't leave.
Chen Yun said calmly, "Since none of you want to leave, then stay for now!"
"From now on, this house belongs to Miss Long Pingting. You must consult her on everything..."
Luo Changgui and the others hadn't spoken yet.
Long Pingting was already anxious: "Young Master, this is your home. How can you say that this house belongs to me?"
Chen Yun looked at Long Pingting and chuckled, "This place has not been my home since my mother and I were kicked out of here."
"Although this place holds many happy memories of my childhood."
"But there are many more painful memories I don't want to recall!"
"So I won't live in this house anymore, I'll just come back to visit occasionally."
At this point, he added, "You are the child my mother adopted back then. We are not siblings, but we are as close as siblings."
"I've seen everything you've done for me and my mother over the years."
"I'd like to give you something as a token of my gratitude."
"But you are so outstanding that you lack nothing."
"So I'm giving this house to you. After all, it's where we grew up, a place where you, me, and my mother have fond memories."
"Please accept it!"
Long Pingting was silent for two seconds before finally nodding: "Alright, I'll take care of this house for you, young master. Once the business is stable, I'll semi-retire from the business world and live here in seclusion."
"But this will always be your home, young master. You can come back anytime."
then.
Chen Yun's mother sent Long Pingting to Hong Kong to develop her career, in order to leave Chen Yun a way out.
Now.
Long Pingting plans to retire and live in seclusion here in this old house, which is quite valuable in the capital city where land is extremely expensive.
In a way, Long Pingting continued to protect Chen Yun's last escape route!
If Chen Yun falls from grace and becomes destitute, at least this old house will be his safety net!
Chen Yun and Long Pingting grew up together and know each other very well.
Upon hearing Long Pingting's words, Chen Yun understood her intentions. He sighed softly, stood up, and said, "I'm tired. I'll leave this place to you. I'm going back."
"Laifu, Ale, get the car ready!"
Lai Fulin and Le Qiqi replied in unison, "Yes, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Yun came out of the Chen family mansion.
It was still drizzling.
He got into the old Audi A6 and started his journey home.
On the road.
He remained silent, his expression showing a hint of melancholy.
The revenge has been taken.
But after taking revenge, I felt even more exhausted; my whole heart was weary.
Finally, we returned to the courtyard house where we were staying temporarily.
In the courtyard house.
The lights were still on.
Chen Yun couldn't help but recall that Shu Tangyin had told him tonight that she would wait for him to come home.
Instantly!
His heart warmed again. His narrow eyes regained their vitality.
