You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen did not immediately order Li Mingyu to lead men to make the arrest.

He knew Chen Yuan all too well.

A psychopath who can turn "accidental" murders into art and manipulate believers' psychology through the deep web possesses an arrogance and madness far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Once he realizes he has been completely exposed, he will inevitably launch the most frantic and reckless counterattack before being arrested.

Lin Chen would never allow anyone around him, especially his parents, to be exposed to even the slightest danger.

Therefore, before closing in, he must first build an absolutely impenetrable fortress.

The next morning, a Gulfstream G650 private jet without any civil aviation markings took off from Jiangcheng Airport under Li Mingyu's personal coordination and landed smoothly at a military airport in the western suburbs of Beijing.

Lin Zhiyuan and Shen Manyun were still in a daze from the moment they boarded the plane.

"Old Lin, pinch me, we...we're on a private jet?"

Shen Manyun sat on the soft chair covered with calfskin, watching the clouds drift by outside the window, feeling as if she were in a dream.

"Promising!"

Lin Zhiyuan was scolding, but his hands, which were gripping the handrail tightly and were turning white with tension, betrayed his inner turmoil.

He had lived most of his life, and this was the first time he had ever enjoyed such treatment.

"What kind of name has this brat made in Beijing? He's a policeman, a consultant, and now he even has a private jet?"

Shen Manyun muttered to herself, already imagining a million possibilities in her mind.

When the plane landed, the two were picked up by a Hongqi sedan with special license plates. After passing through layers of guards, they finally stopped in front of a huge courtyard house exuding a strong historical atmosphere. Their shock had reached its peak.

The vermilion gate was flanked by two imposing stone lions, with a high threshold and two large, gilded characters in a flamboyant style above the door: "Lin Mansion".

"Goodness...this...this is our home?"

Shen Manyun's voice changed tone, and she held Lin Zhiyuan's hand, trembling with excitement.

Lin Zhiyuan was also completely stunned. Although he didn't say it, the pride and joy in his heart were almost overflowing from his chest.

Just then, with a creak, the heavy door was slowly pushed open from the inside.

Lin Chen appeared at the door with a bright smile on his face.

"Dad, Mom, you must be tired from your journey. Welcome home!"

However, what truly stunned the two elders was not Lin Chen, but the four figures standing behind him.

Su Qingge, dressed in a smart police uniform, looked dashing and had a dignified air, but when she saw the two elders, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Ye Qingcheng, dressed in a black Chanel business suit, exuded a powerful aura like a queen, but at this moment she had also restrained all her sharpness, her eyes carrying a just-right amount of respect.

Jiang Tingxue, dressed in a pure white long dress, was as aloof as a snow lotus. When she saw Lin Chen's parents, a faint blush appeared on her usually expressionless face.

Then there's Su Ke'er, wearing an adorable puff-sleeved dress, looking like a girl next door, her big eyes blinking with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Four stunningly beautiful women, each with a distinct style, yet all equally breathtakingly beautiful, stood side by side at the door.

When they saw Lin Zhiyuan and Shen Manyun, they exclaimed in unison, in a sweet, sickeningly sweet voice:

"Hello, Uncle! Hello, Auntie!"

boom!

Lin Zhiyuan and Shen Manyun felt as if their minds had been struck by lightning, buzzing and completely blank.

What... what's going on here?

Four?

My own brat, without saying a word, managed to win over all four girls?!

Shen Manyun's lips began to twitch uncontrollably. She looked at this one, then at that one, feeling that they were all good, yet she couldn't bear to part with any of them.

For a moment, her shrewd mind, which had been sharp all her life, completely shut down.

"Oh dear! Oh dear! Okay, okay! Quick...come in quickly!"

Shen Manyun was the first to react. She laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face. She didn't care about the chaotic scene anymore. She grabbed Su Qingge with one hand and Ye Qingcheng with the other, being incredibly enthusiastic.

"Qingge looks so smart in her police uniform! She and Lin Chen are a perfect match!"

"Wow, Qingcheng, you're definitely destined for great things! You're capable! It's Lin Chen's good fortune to have found you!"

She turned back and waved to Jiang Tingxue and Su Ke'er, who were looking a little shy.

"And you two, don't just stand there, come in!"

A potential family storm was averted thanks to Shen Manyun's exceptionally warm and considerate nature.

Lin Chen stood aside, watching his mother's delighted and pleased expression, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The welcoming banquet has already been prepared.

Lin Chen activated his [God-level Culinary Skills] and personally cooked a top-notch family banquet comparable to a state banquet.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth, Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish, Dongpo Pork... Famous dishes from the eight major Chinese cuisines, all with perfect color, aroma, and taste, made the two elders' mouths water.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented level of harmony and warmth.

"Come on, Qingge, you work hard, eat more of this to nourish your body."

"Qingcheng, managing such a big company must be exhausting, right? Auntie's toasting you!"

"Tingxue, don't just look at it, eat more vegetables."

"Ke'er, you're the youngest, so make yourself at home, don't be shy!"

Shen Manyun was extremely busy, and the four girls behaved very well and sensibly, calling her "Auntie" repeatedly, which made Shen Manyun very happy.

Although Lin Zhiyuan kept a straight face and didn't say much, the constant flow of baijiu in his glass and the approving glances he gave Lin Chen from time to time said it all.

"By the way, son,"

After a few rounds of drinks, Shen Manyun finally asked the most crucial question. She lowered her voice and asked in a volume that only she and Lin Chen could hear.

"These four...they're all so good, which one...which one will you choose?"

The moment this question was raised, the previously lively dinner table fell silent.

The four women appeared to be picking up food, but their ears were all perked up, and their gazes, filled with curiosity, nervousness, or anticipation, were all focused on Lin Chen.

Here it comes, the age-old problem!

However, Lin Chen simply smiled slightly. He activated [God-level Micro-expression Control], revealing a perfectly timed expression that carried a hint of helplessness and doting affection.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

He placed a piece of food on Shen Manyun's plate, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

"Qingge is my superior and comrade-in-arms. We are sworn brothers who would entrust our backs to each other."

"Qingcheng is my partner. I am in charge of the security of the entire Ye Group. We are a community of shared interests and also the most trusted allies."

"Tingxue is a genius at the forensic center. She has given me a lot of help at work. We are close friends who appreciate each other."

"As for Ke'er, she's just a little sister who hasn't grown up yet. I've always treated her like my own sister."

His words were perfectly succinct and reasonable.

This explained why they were there while perfectly preserving each girl's dignity, without offending anyone.

After hearing this, Su Qingge and the others felt a little disappointed, but they were more impressed by Lin Chen's quick wit and thoughtfulness.

"Oh... I see!"

Shen Manyun suddenly realized, and then sighed with some regret.

"I thought... Oh well, never mind, I don't understand you young people's stuff."

A crisis that could have caused a family upheaval was easily resolved by Lin Chen with his god-like art of balancing things.

The entire courtyard was filled with laughter and joy, a truly harmonious atmosphere.

However, behind this warm scene, Lin Chen picked up his wine glass and drank the spicy liquor in one gulp.

A gentle smile still lingered on his lips, but deep within his dark eyes lay a chilling coldness.

He knew that at this very moment, in some dark corner of this seemingly peaceful capital city, a pair of venomous eyes were watching this place, and his most cherished family, through some invisible channel.

Chen Yuan, your informant is in place, isn't he?

So, the game should move on to the next stage.
