The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Through Deputy Director Zhang's introduction, Ling Yun quickly grasped the relevant information.

Around 5 a.m., the personnel who had been secretly monitoring Li Wen's parents, along with a team of Washington counterterrorism SWAT officers, surrounded the apartment where Li Wen's parents were hiding.

Upon seeing that they were surrounded by the police, the two security guards at Goldman Sachs headquarters were quite straightforward and immediately surrendered.

Initially, they attempted to use their Goldman Sachs employee status to bribe the leader of the counterterrorism team.

In their view, Goldman Sachs' reputation was strong enough, and Li Wen's parents were two powerless foreigners, so this was not an easy task.

Given the usual behavior of those police officers, as long as there's extra money to be made, is it really a problem to turn a blind eye?

The result was that the counter-terrorism team acted like champions of justice, completely ignoring the easy extra money that was within their grasp!

Seeing this, the two Goldman Sachs security guards were dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes and ears.

It wasn't until the staff from the Chinese Embassy standing behind the counter-terrorism team spoke up and identified themselves that they understood what was going on!

This is no longer just an ordinary kidnapping case. At this critical juncture of the global financial summit, it could escalate into a diplomatic dispute at any moment, with the potential to become a major or minor conflict!

That's why those guys in the Washington D.C. Police Department's counterterrorism unit acted like champions of justice, ignoring the money that was offered to them!

The two Goldman Sachs security guards, realizing this, were immediately dumbfounded.

As for Li Wen's parents, in just a few hours, they had been beaten black and blue, and were in a miserable state.

If the counter-terrorism team had arrived even half a day later, by the time the global financial summit ended, Li Wen's mother might have even been sold into prostitution to pay off her debts.

Li Wen's father's fate was even worse; he might even be sold off as a Gundam parts supplier!

Through this incident, Lloyd's true colors were revealed, and he was quickly caught in the crossfire, which was enough to give the old fox a hard time!

Knowing that his actions had been exposed, and after receiving a veiled threat from a stranger, Lloyd desperately sought any treatment!

The dean of Wharton Business School suddenly extended an invitation to Ling Yun; who knows, this old fox might have been up to no good in a moment of desperation!

Unfortunately, Ling Yun wasn't fooled at all!

After listening to Deputy Director Zhang's introduction, Ling Yun muttered a few disdainful remarks under his breath.

"Serves them right. They're lucky that Lloyd didn't kill that short-sighted couple."

"As for that old fox, Lloyd, it's only fair to retaliate. I'll settle the score with him later."

Deputy Director Zhang smiled and nodded, then moved on to the next matter.

"Once the delegation arrives in Costa Rica, you can contact your family and friends back home, and you can also tell your ex-girlfriend that her parents are safe."

"But one thing, don't reveal the follow-up itinerary for now; this show isn't truly over yet!"

"There's one more thing. From the moment you arrive in Costa Rica, your security level will be raised by one level, just in case."

"With SZ's approval, the Ninth Bureau will dispatch at least two additional special agents to protect your personal safety..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yun's eyes were already filled with joy.

"Thank you for your concern, SZ. I am unworthy of such praise. I will definitely continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

"As for keeping it a secret, you can rest assured. I will never leak the subsequent itinerary in advance. There's more to come..."

Hearing him say that, Deputy Director Zhang couldn't help but chuckle.

As they chatted in hushed tones, the private jet was flying at a steady speed at an altitude of 10,000 meters, leaving Washington far behind.

The chartered plane flew for more than five hours and successfully reached the airspace over the Caribbean Sea. The first stop in Central America, Costa Rica, was only about an hour away from its destination.

In the back seat, Ling Yun was sleeping, leaning back in his chair, conserving his energy.

Just then, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly came up to him and gently patted him on the shoulder.

When Ling Yun woke up, he immediately whispered:

"Xiao Ling, come with me to the front. SZ has something to tell you."

"OK"

As he nodded in agreement, Ling Yun stood up from his seat.

I then followed Deputy Director Zhang to the front cabin, still feeling somewhat curious.

In a short while, he had arrived at the front cabin.

Then I greeted Vice President Wang and sat down in the empty seat opposite me.

After he sat down, Vice President Wang first inquired about his condition, asking how he had rested and whether he felt tired.

Lingyun smiled and politely thanked SZ for their concern, saying that she was in good condition and ready to get back to work at any time.

After a few casual words, Vice President Wang suddenly changed the subject.

"I have something to tell you, Xiao Ling. There's a top-of-the-line private jet from Hong Kong waiting for you at Costa Rica International Airport."

"This private jet belongs to a well-known tycoon on Hong Kong Island. He is currently vacationing in the Caribbean and is publicly stating that he is returning to Hong Kong Island."

"After the private jet arrives at Costa Rica International Airport, a personal shopper will escort you to board the private plane for a direct flight to Hong Kong Island."

"Several comrades will be flying to Hong Kong Island with you, including personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and two special agents. They will help you with everything."

"Two special agents will be responsible for your personal safety. After you arrive on Hong Kong Island, they will stay by your side and provide close protection."

"As for your luggage, an Air China flight will be arranged to take it to Hong Kong Island tomorrow and deliver it to your residence there. This matter must be kept confidential for now..."

So it was a case of feigning one thing while secretly doing another!

My friend originally thought he was flying to Hong Kong Island on an Air China flight, but it turned out to be a top-of-the-line private jet!

This treatment is truly exceptional; I'm finally getting to experience the thrill of flying on a top-of-the-line private jet!

Ling Yun muttered a few complaints to himself, then nodded slightly.

"Okay, SZ, I will follow the organization's arrangements, and thank you for your concern, sir."

"I will be careful to keep my whereabouts confidential and will not disclose my location to anyone before I land on Hong Kong Island."

"Okay, I trust you to handle things."

Vice President Wang nodded with a smile, then lowered his voice a few decibels.

"Let's talk about your work arrangements after you arrive in Hong Kong. Of course, you can't let your guard down about things in Beijing and Shanghai either."

"Fortunately, the matters in Beijing and Shanghai are nearing completion, so they won't prevent you from making great strides in Hong Kong..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's eyes lit up.

The conversation lasted about fifteen minutes before it ended.

After receiving clear instructions and determining the follow-up action plan, Ling Yun got up, left the front cabin, and returned to his seat.

Not long after he sat down, the private jet began to descend and fly towards Costa Rica International Airport.

About half an hour later, the special plane landed smoothly on the runway of San José Juan Santamaría International Airport in Costa Rica and began to taxi slowly!

As soon as the special plane landed, everyone saw it through the porthole.

Not far ahead of the track, a grand welcoming ceremony has begun, resembling a lively scene with firecrackers and drums.

The President of Costa Rica and his wife, along with a group of high-ranking government officials and business representatives, stood at the edge of the laid-out red carpet, watching the special plane that had just landed.

In addition to them, a delegation from the newly established Chinese Embassy in Costa Rica, which was established last year, also arrived at the airport to welcome the delegation!

Seeing this scene from afar, Ling Yun simply chuckled softly.

He then closed his laptop, put it in his briefcase, and continued to sit quietly.

Once the private jet had slowed down further, he took out his personal cell phone and turned it on.

As before, as soon as the phone was turned on, a barrage of missed calls and unread text messages popped up.

Ling Yun had no time to look at these things. He opened WeChat and quickly sent a group message to his mother and Da Meiyuan.

"I've arrived in Costa Rica, everything is going well, don't worry."

After sending the text message, he casually turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.
