provincial capital.
The Chu family.
Vehicles with license plates from different cities kept appearing in the huge open-air parking lot in front of the Chu family's house, and batches of men who looked travel-worn and fierce got out.
These were all disciples and grand-disciples of Chu Longxiang, the King of Jiangnan.
Recently, upon receiving Chu Longxiang's summons, they rushed back from all over the country.
Anyone with a discerning eye passing by the Chu family's gate and seeing this scene knew that the King of Jiangnan was definitely about to make a big move.
Right now.
In the Chu family's antique-style study.
Chu Longxiang frowned and asked his butler and military advisor, Fu Baoguo, "How is the second son doing? Has the lawyer seen him? Has the Zhonghai police agreed to release him?"
Fu Baoguo shook his head: "Xu Zhengwei, the police chief from Zhonghai, is acting strangely. He doesn't give face to anyone, and he won't even let the lawyer see him. The second young master is still being held in custody!"
Chu Longxiang said angrily, "It's a small temple with a strong wind. I'll call some leaders in the legitimate circles of Zhonghai and complain about this Xu guy."
After saying that, he asked, "Where's the boss? How did it go with the surprise delivery to Zhonglong Group today?"
Fu Baoguo said with some concern, "I spoke with the young master on the phone just half an hour ago, and he said everything was going smoothly."
"But when I called the young master just now, not only was his phone off, but I couldn't get through to any of his henchmen either."
Speaking of which...
Fu Baoguo looked at Chu Longxiang with some worry and asked cautiously, "Master, do you think something might have happened to the eldest young master?"
Chu Longxiang said irritably, "Don't make wild guesses if there's nothing wrong with you. You're just scaring yourself!"
"I think most likely the boss turned off his phone and went into hiding to avoid being caught after he caused the explosion at the Zhonghai Port."
Fu Baoguo hesitated, then ultimately said nothing.
Chu Longxiang narrowed his old eyes and said in a sinister tone, "Just now, President Xiao of Tianjiao Group called again to urge me to hurry up and deal with Chen Yun."
"Old Fu, how many of my disciples and grand-disciples have returned after I asked you to issue a summons a couple of days ago?"
Fu Baoguo said, "More than 800 people have returned so far, and many more are still arriving from various places..."
Chu Longxiang said, "800 is enough, there's no need to wait any longer."
"Old Fu, pass on my order: eight hundred disciples are to go down to Zhonghai and follow me to take Chen Yun's life!"
Fu Baoguo replied, "Yes, sir!"
noon!
Chu Longxiang's extended Lincoln, complete with license plates, was the first to pull out.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, black luxury cars came out, forming a long line of black cars.
A long black convoy of over two hundred vehicles paraded through the city, onto the highway, and menacingly headed towards Zhonghai…
Zhonghai City.
Deep-water port.
The opening ceremony has ended, the leaders have left, the reporters have left, and the guests have gone home.
Only Chen Yun, Shu Lingyue, and Xu Zhengwei remained. Accompanied by senior executives of Zhonglong Group, including Long Pingting, Liang Chenglong, Tang Shirong, Lu Yaonan, and Wu Haidong, they stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the port office building, watching the workers busy at the port dock.
Long Pingting and the others had already learned from Xu Zhengwei that the Chu family had secretly planted explosives at the port.
The group of people were so angry that their faces turned ashen.
Long Pingting's pretty face was frosty: "The Chu family has truly gone mad!"
Liang Chenglong still felt a wave of fear: "There are so many people, so many cargo ships and containers at the port today. If an explosion had really happened, our Zhonglong Group would have been finished."
Tang Shirong said slowly, "Fortunately, Mr. Chen discovered it early and, together with Director Xu, secretly protected us and averted the crisis."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Long Pingting said, "The Chu family is heartless and has resorted to such vicious methods to deal with us. This matter must not be let go. We must make them pay the price."
Liang Chenglong and others were also filled with righteous indignation and echoed his sentiments.
However, everyone's eyes eventually turned to Chen Yun.
Because they all knew that Chen Yun was their leader. Whether or not to settle accounts with the Chu family, how to settle the accounts, and how to deal with the Chu family all depended on Mr. Chen's opinion. Everything had to be decided by Mr. Chen.
Chen Yun was about to speak.
The phone rang.
It was a call from Liu Yongnian in the provincial capital.
It turned out that early this morning, after learning that the Chu family had sent people to plant explosives at the port of Zhonglong Group, Chen Yun instructed Liu Yongnian to send people to keep a close eye on the Chu family and to notify him immediately if there was any disturbance.
When Liu Yongnian called at this time, it must mean he had discovered something.
really.
As soon as Chen Yun answered the phone, Liu Yongnian told him about the unusual activities of the Chu family.
Tell Chen Yun that Chu Longxiang has led eight hundred disciples to Zhonghai in a grand procession, probably to cause trouble for Chen Yun. Warn Chen Yun to be careful and be prepared.
When Chen Yun heard that Chu Longxiang had brought eight hundred disciples to Zhonghai to cause him trouble, he was first taken aback, then smiled.
"Ha, I was just discussing with Director Xu about going to the provincial capital to arrest him, but I didn't expect him to deliver himself to our door. This is great, Director Xu and I don't need to go to the provincial capital anymore, saving us a lot of trouble!"
Liu Yongnian chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen, I have already sent people to keep a close eye on the Chu family's convoy, and I have also deployed drones along the way to track them and report their whereabouts to you at any time."
Chen Yun said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble!"
Liu Yongnian said, "Mr. Chen, do you need any other help? Do you have enough manpower? Should I urgently transfer a group of people from the provincial capital to Zhonghai to help you?"
Chen Yun politely declined: "No need. Aren't you, the Butcher, and the Doctor busy catching traitors and spies based on the clues provided by Kazama Natsuki? I can handle this mere Chu family!"
Liu Yongnian said, "Alright, Mr. Chen, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Hang up the phone.
Chen Yun looked at Long Pingting and the others and told them about Chu Longxiang leading eight hundred disciples to Zhonghai to cause trouble.
Upon hearing this, Long Pingting and the others were both shocked and furious. They all expressed their intention to immediately mobilize their bodyguards and security guards to prepare to meet this Jiangnan King, Chu Longxiang!
Chen Yun said calmly, "No need!"
"You hurriedly made phone calls and hastily gathered a little over a thousand people, but you probably still can't be a match for the eight hundred disciples of the Chu family."
"I'll make a call and find some professionals to help!"
After saying that, he called Huo Guanying.
Upon learning of the situation, Huo Guanying was immediately enraged: "Damn it, I've been in Jiangnan for so many years and I never even knew there was a King of Jiangnan! It's one thing for this guy to do all sorts of evil deeds, but he even dares to bring people to bully Brother Chen?"
"Brother Chen, I am currently on my way to a meeting in Beijing."
"I'll order Cui Tianjian to bring two regiments of soldiers from the Zhonghai base to provide emergency support for you. Is that enough?"
Chen Yun laughed and said, "Two regiments, three thousand men in total, are not enough to deal with the Chu family's mere eight hundred disciples. It's more like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut."
Huo Guanying laughed and said, "That's exactly the effect I wanted!"
Not long after.
Upon receiving Huo Guanying's order, Cui Tianjian of the Zhonghai base immediately gathered soldiers from two regiments to reinforce Chen Yun.
One after another, troop carriers drove out of the base gate with a menacing air.
Several armed helicopters also took off, rattling and gurgling...
