After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

A few minutes later, Liu Tianxiong's face began to flush, his eyes became glazed, and his speech became slurred, as if he had a scalding hot potato in his mouth.

"It's done!"

Chen Yun was secretly delighted and gave Wang Yuyan a wink.

Wang Yuyan understood, and the two of them, carrying the wine trays, moved discreetly toward the back door of the banquet hall.

The back door was locked with a heavy iron lock.

Chen Yun cursed under his breath and was about to forcefully break down the door when he heard steady footsteps behind him.

He turned around abruptly and saw the mysterious man wearing a silver mask standing behind him.

"Who are you? Why have you infiltrated this place?"

The masked man said in a low voice.

Chen Yun's heart sank; it seemed their plan had been exposed.

He clenched his fists, ready to fight to the death.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the banquet hall.

Liu Tianxiong foamed at the mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

"Mr. Liu!"

"Call the doctor quickly!"

The scene instantly descended into chaos, with elegantly dressed guests screaming and scattering in all directions, turning the lavish banquet hall into a scene of panic.

The masked man's attention was also drawn to it. He glanced back at Liu Tianxiong lying on the ground, then at Chen Yun, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

It's now!

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Chen Yun grabbed Wang Yuyan's hand and rushed towards the back door.

He used all his strength to slam his head against the door.

"boom!"

The wooden door swung open with a loud bang.

The two stumbled and rushed out the back door, disappearing into the pitch-black night.

The night wind howled past, ruffling Wang Yuyan's hair.

She asked breathlessly, "Chen Yun, where are we going now?"

Chen Yun glanced back at the brightly lit Liu family mansion: "Where to? To make Liu Tianxiong pay the price, of course! This is just the beginning!"

They ran all the way until they were far away from the Liu family mansion before stopping to catch their breath.

Wang Yuyan leaned against a big tree, still shaken.

"Chen Yun, who exactly are you?"

She finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is your purpose in coming to the Liu family this time?"

Chen Yun turned his back to her, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Your plan tonight... is too risky! If Liu Tianxiong hadn't suddenly fallen ill, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all!"

Wang Yuyan's voice carried a hint of reproach, "What deep-seated hatred do you have that makes you want to kill him?"

Chen Yun turned around, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"I just can't stand his many evil deeds," he said casually, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "People like him will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

"Just that you can't stand it?"

Wang Yuyan clearly didn't believe this explanation. "You went to great lengths to get close to him, even risking your life, just for the sake of so-called 'justice'?"

Chen Yun walked up to her and just looked at Wang Yuyan.

"What? Are you scared?"

His tone was slightly provocative, "If you regret it, you can leave now."

Wang Yuyan met his gaze without flinching.

“Of course I’m scared,” she said frankly, “but I want to know the truth. You dragged me into this, so you should give me an explanation.”

Chen Yun remained silent for a moment, then sighed, seemingly somewhat helpless.

“Okay,” he softened his tone, “I’ll tell you some things, but you can’t tell anyone.”

He paused, then continued, "Liu Tianxiong, he owes me a life!"

He didn't explain further, he just said that one sentence and then fell silent.

Wang Yuyan wanted to ask more questions.

But he waved his hand, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

"Now, we need to figure out how to get out of here."

Chen Yun changed the subject, walked to the factory gate, and looked around. "Liu Tianxiong will definitely not let this go. We must leave here as soon as possible."

The two spent the night in the abandoned factory.

sleepless nights.

Chen Yun handed her a wad of cash and a brand-new cell phone: "Take this and go back to the city."

Wang Yuyan bit her lip and didn't take it immediately.

"And what about you? Where are you planning to go?"

"I have my own place to go."

Chen Yun avoided her gaze, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "You don't need to worry about me."

"How could I not worry..."

Wang Yuyan's voice choked with emotion, "Liu Tianxiong will not let you go."

Chen Yun chuckled self-deprecatingly: "He never intended to let me go in the first place."

He stuffed the money and the phone into Wang Yuyan's hand.

"Listen to me, go back first. If you stay here, you'll only be a burden to me."

Wang Yuyan wanted to say something, but seeing Chen Yun's gaze, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

She knew that Chen Yun was right; her staying here would only be a burden to him.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuyan gripped her phone and money tightly.

"remember."

Chen Yun's voice rang out again, "Don't contact anyone, especially Liu Tianxiong's men. I'll contact you once I find a safe place."

Wang Yuyan nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

She gave Chen Yun a deep look, then turned and left the abandoned factory, disappearing into the dawn.

Chen Yun watched Wang Yuyan's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew that this path was destined to be full of thorns, but he had no way back.

He stomped out the cigarette butt hard.

He turned and walked in another direction.

Jiangnan City remains as prosperous as ever.

Chen Yun walked down the bustling street, just like an ordinary office worker.

Upon returning to his villa, the first thing Chen Yun did was turn on his computer to check on Liu Tianxiong's movements.

As expected, Liu Tianxiong has mobilized all his resources to search for him throughout the city.

The internet is flooded with news about him.

However, Chen Yun walked through all the blind spots of the surveillance cameras, so the cameras didn't capture his face at all.

There was only one extremely blurry photo of the body.

Chen Yun sneered and shut down the computer.

He knew that Liu Tianxiong wouldn't let him off easily.

This game has just begun.

He walked to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and drank it all in one gulp.

The pungent taste of alcohol stung his throat, but it couldn't numb his anxiety.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Chen Yun felt a chill run down his spine and cautiously walked to the door, peering out through the peephole.

A familiar figure appeared outside the door—Rong Wanli.

The youngest son of the Rong family.

Why would he come looking for me?

Chen Yun was taken aback.

The Rong family suffered many losses at his hands.

It was no surprise to Chen Yun that they would come looking for him again.

Chen Yun opened the door, and Rong Wanli almost staggered in, his face full of anxiety.

He didn't even bother with pleasantries, his first words being, "Chen Yun, you need to leave quickly! Liu Tianxiong has joined forces with our Rong family!"
