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

Chen Yun was startled.

He poured a glass of whiskey and handed it to Rong Wanli, speaking as calmly as possible: "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Rong Wanli took the wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and finally caught his breath: "At today's family meeting, my father said it himself. Liu Tianxiong agreed to give our Rong family the development rights to that piece of land in the western suburbs of Jiangnan City, on the condition that we help him deal with you. They're preparing..."

Rong Wanli paused, seemingly finding it difficult to speak: "They are preparing to kill you."

Chen Yun sneered, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

He had witnessed Liu Tianxiong's ruthlessness, but he never expected the Rong family to turn against him so quickly.

That piece of land in the western suburbs had long been coveted by the Rong family.

It seems Liu Tianxiong really went all out.

“My dad also said that Liu Tianxiong has sent people to Wang Yuyan’s house, hoping to find clues about you from her,” Rong Wanli added.

Chen Yun's eyes sharpened. Wang Yuyan!

He repeatedly told her not to contact anyone, but Liu Tianxiong found her so quickly.

He must confirm Wang Yuyan's safety as soon as possible.

"Thanks, Rong Wanli."

Chen Yun said in a deep voice, "You've helped me a lot this time."

Rong Wanli waved his hand: "Don't mention it. You saved my life, this little thing is nothing. I came here not only to tell you this news, but also to help you leave Jiangnan City. I've already arranged a car and people, and we can leave at any time."

Chen Yun was somewhat surprised when he saw Rong Wanli's sincere eyes.

The feud between him and the Rong family was not something that could be explained in a few words. Rong Wanli was actually willing to risk offending the family to help him, which left him somewhat puzzled.

"I have a significant conflict with your Rong family, why are you coming back to help me?"

Chen Yun voiced the question that had been bothering him.

Rong Wanli gave a bitter smile: "I know I was wrong before. I was too impulsive and did a lot of things that I shouldn't have done. This time, I'll just consider it as me making up for my past mistakes."

He paused, then added, "Moreover, I really can't stand Liu Tianxiong's smug and arrogant attitude. People like him will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

Chen Yun remained silent for a moment, knowing that Rong Wanli was speaking from the heart.

He ultimately refused Rong Wanli's help: "I appreciate your kindness, but I already have plans. You should go back as soon as possible, lest Liu Tianxiong finds out, and then it will be difficult to explain."

Rong Wanli wanted to persuade him further, but seeing Chen Yun's eyes, he finally nodded: "Alright, be careful. Contact me anytime if you need help."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the villa.

Chen Yun walked to the window and watched Rong Wanli's car disappear into the night, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

The alliance between Liu Tianxiong and the Rong family undoubtedly put him in an even more dangerous situation.

But he didn't panic.

Because he knew that panicking would only make him lose his composure.

He needs to think calmly and find a solution.

He picked up his phone and dialed an encrypted number. A deep voice answered, "Hello?"

"it's me."

Chen Yun said in a deep voice, "Check on Wang Yuyan's current situation for me. Also, book me the earliest flight to M country tomorrow."

"M country?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded surprised, "Are you sure you want to go to the US?"

"determine."

Chen Yun said firmly, "What I need is there."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a voice said, "Okay, I understand. I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Chen Yun hung up the phone, walked to the liquor cabinet, and poured himself another glass of whiskey.

He looked at the amber liquid in the glass, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He spent several unforgettable years in Country M, where he also experienced the darkest moments of his life.

Now he's going back to that place.

However, he had to go to the United States.

There he found the weapon he needed...

This time, he will not be at the mercy of others like he has in the past.

Before leaving, he had to make sure Wang Yuyan was safe.

Chen Yun changed into an inconspicuous casual outfit, put on a baseball cap and a mask, and hid himself in the vast crowd of Jiangnan City.

He deliberately took a detour around several streets.

They avoided all possible surveillance cameras before finally arriving at Wang Yuyan's apartment building.

At the entrance of the apartment building, two burly men in black suits were smoking idly, clearly not good people.

Chen Yun's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.

He observed for a while and found that the two guys were just guarding the door and had no intention of going in.

It seems Liu Tianxiong hasn't found Wang Yuyan yet.

They simply sent people here to wait for them to come to them.

Chen Yun went around to the back of the building and climbed up to the second floor along the drainpipe.

Wang Yuyan's apartment was on the third floor. He climbed up quietly and looked inside through the window.

The room was in a mess, with furniture overturned and clothes scattered all over the floor.

Chen Yun's heart sank to the bottom; Wang Yuyan was not there.

He carefully opened the window and climbed inside.

A faint scent of perfume filled the air, the one Wang Yuyan often used, but now it was mixed with a hint of blood.

Chen Yun's pupils suddenly contracted.

He hurried to the bedroom and found a dark red bloodstain on the bed sheet, which had already dried.

He reached out and touched it; it was ice-cold to the touch.

Damn!

Chen Yun slammed his fist against the wall; he was still too late.

Wang Yuyan must have been captured by Liu Tianxiong.

He looked around.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a photograph on the bedside table.

Just then, Chen Yun's phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

He hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Chen Yun, it's been a long time."

A cold voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Liu Tianxiong.

"Liu Tianxiong!"

Chen Yun gritted his teeth and said, "What did you do to Wang Yuyan?"

"Don't worry, your little lover is doing well, it's just... she's not very cooperative."

Liu Tianxiong's voice carried a hint of mockery, "I think you'd love to know where she is right now, wouldn't you?"

Suppressing his anger, Chen Yunqiang said coldly, "What do you want?"

“It’s simple, I want that piece of land in the western suburbs.”

Liu Tianxiong paused, then added, "And also, I want you dead!"

"You're dreaming!"

"Is that so? Then I'll have no choice but to make your little lover pay with her death."

Liu Tianxiong's voice suddenly turned sinister, "You'd better think this through, my patience is limited."

After saying that, Liu Tianxiong hung up the phone.

The veins on Chen Yun's hand, which was gripping the phone, bulged.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, his gaze fell on another item on the bedside table—an exquisite wooden box.

Chen Yun picked up the wooden box; it was icy cold to the touch.

It has a smooth and delicate feel, as if it were made of some kind of rare wood.

The lid of the box is engraved with intricate patterns, and in the center is a complex combination lock.

He tried Wang Yuyan's birthday, their anniversary, and even her usual password, but none of them worked.
