50: Chapter 50 You guys messed things up yourselves, and now you want to drag me and Teacher Su into it? Dream on!

At the same time Chen Bo's bracelet rang, Teacher Su's bracelet rang as well.

"It's from Ling Lingwu."

"Wait a moment."

After Yun Zhuo finished speaking, he first walked over and slapped Chen Bo, who had answered the call, unconscious. He picked up his bracelet and said, "I'm busy right now, call back later."

After saying that, he hung up Chen Kun's call.

On Teacher Su's side, the call connected, and Ling Lingwu's voice came through: "Second Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. What exactly happened?"

At this moment, another person appeared on the holographic screen and said, "Second Miss, this is Second of the Ling Family. Where are you now? I'm coming to pick you up right away."

Yun Zhuo shook his head: "Ask him, what is the situation outside right now?"

Although Teacher Su was confused, out of trust for Yun Zhuo, she still asked: "We are very safe right now. What is the situation outside?"

"Second Miss, this is not the time to act like a spoiled Young Miss. For the five billion in cash that kid wants, Chen Kun has assembled a total of ten thousand trucks. Not counting the guards, there are ten thousand drivers alone. Do you know that?"

Teacher Su looked at Yun Zhuo.

Yun Zhuo walked over and looked at Second of the Ling Family on the video: "How many people do you have now?"

Seeing it was Yun Zhuo, Second of the Ling Family immediately said irritably: "This is not something you should be asking."

"Ten thousand people, plus the guards, that must be at least twenty or thirty thousand, right? If Chen Kun is using twenty or thirty thousand people to deal with me, then he thinks too highly of me."

"Kid, don't try to stir up trouble here. I'm warning you, if anything happens to Second Miss, I'll have your whole family buried with her."

Yun Zhuo looked at Teacher Su: "What do you think?"

"I'll listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Second of the Ling Family roared from the other side of the video: "Kid, if you want to go die, don't drag our Second Miss along with you."

Yun Zhuo said with a dark face: "It's not that I don't believe Chen Kun dispatched so many people, I just don't believe he dispatched so many people just to deal with me. If I'm not mistaken, you guys messed up on your own, and he's here to kill you, right?"

"You..." Second of the Ling Family was speechless for a moment.

Now the family head was also riding a tiger and couldn't get off; he hadn't expected things to develop like this.

That Chen Kun didn't play by the rules at all. From the very beginning, he went all out like a lion attacking a rabbit, forcing them to increase their stakes.

Because they couldn't afford to lose, if Chen Kun wiped them all out, it would be equivalent to slapping the Ling Family hard in the face.

If the Ling Family suffered in silence, that would be a small matter; the key was that the Ling Family would lose its absolute advantage in strength over Chen Kun.

If he were to turn around and strike the Ling Family again, even if the Ling Family won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

If the Qi Family were to kick them while they were down, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if he didn't attack the Ling Family, he could choose to form an alliance with the Qi Family.

Ling Lifeng believed that rather than having an equal opponent by their side, the Qi Family would prefer a dog that was strong but obedient.

Of course, at this time, the Ling Family could also just fold and stop playing; enduring for a moment would bring peace.

But the problem was that now, Chen Kun had blocked all routes back to the city, determined to take this opportunity to take a huge bite out of the Ling Family.

Chen Kun's speed in military operations directly caused Ling Lifeng to lose the chance to fold before placing his bet.

So they could only follow through to the end, while simultaneously putting on an Aura that said "my hand is better than yours," forcing Chen Kun to retreat in the face of difficulties.

Because Chen Kun still had a way out, he could return to Tomorrow City; this was equivalent to the siege strategy of leaving one side open.

Once Chen Kun left, even if the Ling Family's strength was damaged, they would still be the second power in Dawn City. Before long, the Ling Family would be able to recover relying on the resources in their hands.

At this time, seeing Second of the Ling Family speechless, Yun Zhuo continued to press: "Have the roads back to the city been blocked by Chen Kun?"

"How did you know?" Second of the Ling Family asked reflexively, and as soon as the words left his mouth, he frowned in annoyance.

Yun Zhuo curled his lips, but his voice was terrifyingly calm: "I guessed. But now I know I guessed right, so I'm sorry, I cannot hand Teacher Su over to you."

"Kid, are you crazy?"

"Crazy?" Yun Zhuo sneered: "With me, although it's not safe, it will only become unsafe after you are all dead. So if you really care about your Second Miss, then try your best to fight Chen Kun to the death, instead of nagging at me here."

After speaking, Yun Zhuo hung up the phone for Teacher Su.

Then he walked over quickly and slapped Chen Bo awake.

"Hurry up and call your dad, ask them where they are? If I don't see the money in half an hour, you can have him collect your corpse."

Chen Bo said irritably: "If you kill me, you won't survive either."

Yun Zhuo slapped him across the face: "If I can't survive, that's something that happens after you're dead. You're already dead, why are you meddling in other people's business?"

"You..."

Yun Zhuo raised his hand, and Chen Bo was so scared that he instinctively ducked his head to the side.

After waiting for a moment and seeing that Yun Zhuo's slap didn't land, he realized he had been played by Yun Zhuo again.

Yun Zhuo patted his face lightly: "You're just a coward, so don't put on airs in front of me. Hurry up and call your dad. When I settle the transaction with your dad, it'll be good for you, good for me, and good for everyone."

Chen Bo dialed Chen Kun's phone number.

Seeing his son was still alive through the video, Chen Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then it was time to discuss the ransom payment with Yun Zhuo.

Yun Zhuo told him directly to drive the trucks into the Temple of the God of Wealth, then have everyone leave; he would release the hostage after he received the money.

Chen Kun agreed very readily.

Chen Long said worriedly: "Family Head, that's fifty billion in corrosion crystals. If we just leave it there, what if the other party uses a trick?"

"A trick?" Chen Kun sneered coldly: "Just a poor kid. Even if he's clever, his vision is limited. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a stupid thing as wanting all five billion in corrosion crystals in cash. He didn't even think about how many trucks it would take just to load fifty billion in corrosion crystals. Can he carry it away by himself?"

"Then what if there are Ling Family members helping him?"

"That would be perfect. We were just worried about not being able to find where they were hiding, and they'd be delivering themselves to our doorstep." After saying this, Chen Kun changed the subject: "If we can't find those grandsons, then stop looking. Tell people to hurry up and seize the surrounding sentry towers."

Chen Long's eyes lit up: "Understood."

Seizing the sentry towers would not only make it easier to find people, but it would also provide a fortress with decent firepower, allowing them to overlook the whole situation.

Moreover, Ling Lifeng was thinking the same thing and was also telling Third of the Ling Family and the others to seize the sentry towers.

Being able to enhance their own firepower was one aspect, but more importantly, the sentry towers all belonged to the Qi Family, which was a third-party force.

With him and Chen Kun fighting to the death here, if there was someone with decent strength watching from the sidelines, no one would be at ease.

But unlike Chen Kun, he had his second wife, who was also Qi Peng's sister, go back to her maiden family to borrow them.

What she was borrowing was not the sentry towers near the Temple of the God of Wealth, but the control of the dozen or so towers near the No. 3 Farm Town, which had a firepower coverage area of one hundred square kilometers.

There were 153 farms outside the city, 42 of which were under Chen Kun's name, and this included the No. 3 Farm.

Under this farm was a large vault; the other half of his assets had always been kept here and had never entered the city.

Currently, the Ling Family had less than 30,000 people outside the city, and he still had to keep some strength in reserve to deal with the Qi Family in the city.

Deciding the outcome in a field battle against Chen Kun, who had at least 50,000 people, would clearly not result in any advantage.

Thus, he chose the strategy of feinting to the east while attacking to the west, occupying the No. 3 Farm Town, betting that Chen Kun would come to the rescue, and then using the town's defensive fortifications in coordination with the surrounding sentry towers to make Chen Kun retreat in the face of difficulties.
