  After leaving the Bi Bo Building, Chu Yu and Su Jingyi went on a shopping spree again, buying many toys and colorful wrapping paper. At Su Jingyi's request, Chu Yu could only act as a porter, carrying two large packages of gifts along with seven-color folding paper to her home. The task of packaging the two large packages of toys was naturally left to Su Jingyi, this clever and skilled girl.

  They had agreed on a meeting time for early tomorrow morning, and so Chu Yu finally headed home.

  Unexpectedly, when Chu Yu arrived at the entrance of his home by taxi, he saw a crowd of people gathered on the roadside in front of his own door, among whom were reporters holding up cameras and frantically pressing the shutter.

  "What happened?"

  After getting off the bus, Chu Yu walked towards the crowd of people gathered in the morning. It wasn't that he liked to join in the commotion, but rather his home was just at the back of this road blocked by the crowd, and it was a necessary path that couldn't be avoided.

  It was hard to squeeze out a way, but the scene in front of him made Chu Yu stunned. "These three little rascals actually found their way here so quickly!"

  Only five Rolls-Royces, a rare sight in this international metropolis of Shanghai, were lined up on one side of the intersection. Nine burly men in black suits and sunglasses formed a semicircle around the middle car, a Lin Baojian, their sharp eyes hidden behind their shades constantly scanning the crowd gathered to watch the commotion.

  When a bold reporter tried to rush into the area, a man in sunglasses simply took half a step forward, and a fierce aura that made people's hair stand on end immediately stopped the reporter's advancing footsteps. In his heart, he was secretly shocked, "Wow, the bodyguards hired by the big consortium are really different! Just standing there like that, it actually scared me to the point where I felt like I couldn't move my feet..."

  Inside a Rolls-Royce surrounded by nine men in sunglasses, sat the three major directors of Tianbao Financial Group: Bai Cen Can, Hua Tian Xiong and Lin Yu Hong.

  As the car window rolled down, Bai Cengcan looked out and frowned: "How did our itinerary get exposed so quickly! With so many reporters, if we can't see the boss because of this, I'll have to buy all the newspapers they belong to and deal with them one by one."

  "It's all because of you, Lao Bai, insisting on driving that Rolls-Royce over here... making such a showy entrance, it's a wonder the reporters didn't pounce on us." Hu Tianxiong grumbled.

  "Let's just keep quiet for now, let those reporters do whatever they want, we won't leave the car until the boss shows up. At worst, we'll spend the night in the car." Lin Yuhong said seriously.

  "That's right, if we can't see the boss, then we'll just have to wait here." The three directors had clearly made up their minds.

  Sunglasses man looked out of the nursing range, two old acquaintances in the airport reporter met again, Xiao Hu Zi reporter and that magazine reporter all raised their hands to the highest, the flash lights of the cameras in their hands flashing wildly.

  "Brother, we meet again!" Little Hu only then realized that his fellow traveler beside him was an old acquaintance from the airport.

  "Ah, it's you, old brother! This time we finally caught up with you. In this Shanghai territory, the only ones who can simultaneously launch five Rolls-Royces are the Tianbao Financial Group. Since you helped me out at the airport, I'll give you some exclusive news..."

  Xiao Huzi's face lit up with excitement: "Brother, you're really something! Hurry up and tell me, what's the news?"

  "The identity of the people in the car." The magazine reporter smiled mysteriously and leaned close to Xiaohuzi's ear, whispering: "I can be 100% certain that the three major directors of Tianbao Financial Group are sitting inside that car."

  "Ah!" Little Hu's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly covered his mouth. After a moment, his eyes sparkled with realization: "There are three major directors in the car... isn't that Li Hai, the Asian Executive President of Tianbao Financial Group?!"

  The magazine reporter smiled triumphantly and said, "Don't ask me how I know, anyway it's not fake. Today, even if knives are falling from the sky, I won't leave until the people in the car come out."

  "That's for sure, the three big directors came to this place, there must be a big deal to explode, and thinking about the previous information, I have a bold guess, the three big directors are here to see the hidden chairman of Tianbao Financial Group..." Little Hu Zi journalist keenly sensed.

  "It makes sense, if we were to scoop the news of who's behind the Tianbao Conglomerate... Oh my god! The true identity of the mastermind behind a super conglomerate that has been dominating international business for over thirty years, our magazine will sell like crazy because of my discovery, no, it'll increase sales by tenfold, twentyfold won't be enough!"

  And without mentioning the YY between the two reporters, Chu Yu was hesitating whether to meet with his three former subordinates, after all, he had already changed into a new body and appeared to be just in his teens. He wasn't worried that his three former subordinates wouldn't recognize him, it would be easy for him to prove his identity by mentioning a few past events, let alone the fact that they were also aware that their old boss was a cultivator, everything could be easily explained.

  What made Chu hesitant was that he still needed to continue living in the mortal world as Xiao Yi, and with so many reporters and onlookers present, if he were to show up and meet with his three elderly relatives, it would cause a huge commotion.

  "Alas, thirty years ago I left in a hurry and didn't have time to bring the three of them onto the path of cultivation. I also feel that I owe them a great deal. Now that they know I've returned to the world, they're so proactive in seeking me out, it's clear that I didn't misjudge them back then. These three old subordinates are indeed loyal and devoted to me. This time, let's just recognize each other, but the way we do it will have to be changed a bit..."

  With a determined mind, Chu Yuemo made a silent incantation, his hands clasped behind his back as he discreetly formed a decisive seal. A strand of spiritual energy was then released from between his eyebrows.

  At the same time, Bai, Hua, and Lin, the three old men in the car, all shuddered violently, their eyes wide open, and then looked at each other for a moment. Old Bai's lips trembled as he said, "Did you feel it? It's...it's Boss..."

  "It's the boss... it can't be wrong, this kind of spiritual shock method and that familiar feeling, no one else can do it except the boss. Oh my god! Old Bai, Old Lin, hurry up and pinch me hard to see if I'm dreaming..."

  "What are you waiting for? Get off and find someone!" Lin Yuhong pushed open the car door, and at that moment, flashlights and hundreds of eyes shot out together, the sound of shutters and urgent shouts echoed.

  "Lao Lin, shut the door and come in, what's wrong with you?" Bai Lao's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, pulling Lin Yuhong's half-exposed body back inside at the first moment.

  "The boss wouldn't want to be photographed by so many reporters, have you forgotten that the boss has always been low-key?"

  "Look at me, I'm so muddled... I was too excited just now..." Lin Yuhong patted his head and said: "Let Ah Da and the others chase those reporters away, and disperse the crowd as well."

  If it were an ordinary day, the three old men would never make such a decision, but now it's about whether they can see their boss immediately, so the three of them couldn't care less. Bai Cen and Hua Tianxiong had no opinion on Lin Yuhong's arrangement at all.

  He rolled down the car window and beckoned to one of the men in sunglasses, then instructed him, "No matter what method you use, I don't want to see this group of annoying reporters again within a minute. Also, let the onlookers disperse, we three are not giant pandas in a zoo, what's there to look at..."

  Ah Da listened to the order, slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. His hand pressed on the receiver in his ear and gave the command, "Disperse immediately, anyone who resists or disobeys will be forced out 100 meters away." The tone was direct and cold, with an unyielding air that was quite stern, like a military man's severity.

  At the same time, in the next moment when Ah Da gave the order, the other eight caregivers standing beside the sunglasses man all took action. The nine of them lined up in a row, almost blocking half of the street. With synchronized footsteps, they walked forward and said, "Considering your surrounding behavior will increase the difficulty of our security work, please disperse. If necessary, we will take coercive measures."

  A cold, emotionless tone, nine tall men in black suits over 1.9 meters tall approached from the front, first to scatter were those small town citizens who had never seen such an array before! As they watched the nine men in sunglasses get closer and closer, the huge invisible pressure made them feel like they couldn't breathe, it was a feeling they couldn't bear, and in just the blink of an eye, they scattered completely.

  But the more than ten reporters still guarded their own positions, they had a news mission on their shoulders, and besides, they didn't believe that nine men in sunglasses would dare to move them under broad daylight.

  "This is a society ruled by law, you are threatening me, I will report what happened today...I will..." The journalist who shouted the loudest was speaking with great righteousness, but only got halfway through his sentence before being lifted up like a little chick by a large hand holding a fan.

  The man in sunglasses picked up the reporter and walked over ten meters to one side, then with a flick of his arm, the reporter was thrown out several meters away like a piece of trash, probably unable to get up for a while.

  "Are you leaving or not?" Ah Da said coldly, taking another step forward towards the crowd of reporters with a stern face.

  With the lesson of what happened before, it seems that journalists also understand that their grand theories and pens are useless in front of these nine fierce-looking men with sunglasses. Not wanting to be left in a humiliating situation, they all dispersed. As for whether they really left or not, that's another story.

  When the crowd finally dispersed, Ah Da instructed the other eight people to search around a hundred meters and then return to the car to report back to San Lao, "The onlookers have all been cleared."

  "You take the other four cars and drive them away to park somewhere else, don't let it be too eye-catching here, and then continue to secretly observe, don't let those reporters find a gap. If you see a teenager coming over, immediately greet us politely here, got it? Remember, must be polite and respectful..." Bai Cen said the last sentence with an unusually serious tone.

  "Yes." Ah Da, as the head of the bodyguards who had followed San Lao for many years, showed extreme respect and admiration. At the same time, he directly and effectively gave orders to the other eight bodyguards.

  Chu Yu still hadn't made up his mind to reveal himself, leaning against the wall of a small alley across the street, his divine sense released, covering an area of one mile in radius, with targeted perception.

  After a few minutes, the breath of several reporters who had been locked in by Chu Yu's divine sense all disappeared within his range. He then slowly withdrew his divine sense and walked towards Lin Baojian, who was standing below with three old subordinates.

  "Please, this way." Thanks to the previous courtesy of Bai Cen, the bodyguards naturally let Chu Yu pass without condition, and when he passed by, they all bowed their heads in great respect.

  At the moment when Chu Yu sat in that stretched Rolls-Royce, Bai Cen Can, Hua Tian Xiong and Lin Yu Hong's expressions were both shocked and delighted. They were shocked to see Chu Yu himself, a young face still full of childishness, was he really the "boss" who existed like a god in their minds?

  Fortunately, this question will be answered soon. A three-person answer that cannot be forgotten in the past 30 years - will our boss come back again?

  "Xiaobai, Hero, Feather..." After the car door closed, Chu Yu's eyes revealed a rare sense of vicissitude for a young man. Looking at the three former subordinates in front of him, whose hair had all turned white, he felt a pang of emotion and silently recited the names he used to call them.

  "Boss......" Bai Cen's eyes flashed with wild joy, and he excitedly stood up at the same time, but forgot that he was in the car, hitting his head on the roof with a dull thud.

  "Hero... it's been thirty years and ten months and twenty-eight days since anyone called me that, is it really you... boss... I thought I was going to die." The now silver-haired Hua Tianxiong suddenly choked up like a child, so excited that his words were barely intelligible. It turned out that the three people's term of endearment for him was something only their "boss" would call them in private, no wonder the three of them immediately recognized Chu Yudao's identity at first glance.

  "Ah yo...... it really hurts, grandma's, I'm not dreaming, haha!" Lin Yuhong was even more exaggerated, first pinching his arm hard, and then tears were already streaming out, "Boss... I'm Feather! You still remember me, boss, seeing you again... This time, no matter what you say, I'll follow you around. Without you, our three days are very boring!"

  If this scene in the car were to be captured by a reporter, it would absolutely qualify as a super-hot scoop that combines fame and incredibility. Three elderly men with white temples facing a boy who is no more than 16 years old, crying and laughing at the same time, and still addressing him as "boss". Each of the three people has a net worth of tens of billions. In normal people's logical thinking, this scene can only be described in four words: unbelievable.

  Fortunately, this specially customized stretched Lincoln has perfect soundproofing and confidentiality measures, the rear seats are also separated from the driver, and the conversation of the four people will not be known to others.

  Seeing the three old friends' excited appearance, Chu Yu was also moved in his heart. "Thirty years may not be a long time for cultivators, but for them, it's one-third of their lives. Looking at the three faces that were once young and full of vitality now turning gray, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

  "Even I didn't think that there would be a day when we could meet again... You've all worked hard over the years..." Chu Yuhe let out a sigh, and in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of the past thirty years when he and three old subordinates had built the Tianbao financial empire together. A hint of nostalgic smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

  "I know you have a lot to say to me and many questions in your mind, but this is not the place to talk, let them drive, we'll find a place to chat."

  "Yes, boss!" The three of them said in unison.
