"Mutual non-pursuit?"
Hearing Song Sha Dao's words, the heavily injured Kong Wu Dao shook off the leaping fish all over his body and struggled to stand up from the ground. He shouted at Song Sha Dao, "How can this be? Shen Lang killed five of our Kong family's venerated elders. How can we just let it go?"
"Kong Wu Dao, I'll give you one more chance. Organize your words properly."
Hearing Kong Wu Dao's words, Song Sha Dao's eyes turned cold, and he said, "What do you mean Shen Lang killed your Kong family's five venerated elders? It was your Kong family's five venerated elders who wanted to kill Shen Lang, but they were outmatched and killed in retaliation."
"Fine, if you insist on pursuing the matter of Shen Lang killing your Kong family's five venerated elders, then I will also thoroughly pursue your instigation of your subordinates to commit murder. Let's go to the Martial Guard Department and discuss this matter properly."
"You..."
Hearing Song Sha Dao's words, Kong Wu Dao was so angry he was spewing smoke from all seven orifices.
With his status, if he were to go to the Martial Guard Department, it would leave a stain on his record, which would be very detrimental to his future development.
After all, once he went to the Martial Guard Department, with Song Sha Dao's swift methods, if he were to pursue the charge of instigating subordinates to commit murder, Kong Wu Dao, despite his Kong family background, would have to lose a significant portion of his reputation and influence.
This was because Song Sha Dao was never an ordinary person. He never cared about the powers of the five great families. All he cared about was fairness and justice.
If Song Sha Dao truly wanted to deal with him, no one could help him.
Kong Wu Dao did not want to clash with someone like Song Sha Dao, because he would be the one to suffer in the end.
"Alright, Kong Wu Dao remains silent. I'll take it as you have no objections."
After glaring at Kong Wu Dao, Song Sha Dao's eyes turned to Qi Tuo Jiang and he said, "Qi Tuo Jiang, you are the protagonist today. What are your thoughts?"
"Tuo Jiang has no objections. Everything will be handled according to Elder Song's disposition."
Qi Tuo Jiang also knew that Song Sha Dao was not someone to be trifled with; offending him would mean losing a significant portion of his influence. Therefore, he directly gave up pursuing the matter.
After all, with Song Sha Dao protecting Shen Lang, it would be impossible for them to continue trying to kill Shen Lang.
Since that was the case, there was no need to be stubborn and create another enemy like Song Sha Dao for himself.
"Very good, you are indeed a worthy descendant among the young generation of Long Country. You truly understand the current situation."
Song Sha Dao was very satisfied with Qi Tuo Jiang's attitude. After saying this with a smile, he finally looked at Gu Ding Tian and asked, "Gu Ding Tian, what is your opinion?"
"I..."
Facing Song Sha Dao, Gu Ding Tian really wanted to say that he wanted to pursue the matter, and to pursue it to the end, not stopping until Shen Lang was dead. However, upon seeing Song Sha Dao's beast-like eyes, he flinched and said, "I will obey the disposition of Director Song."
"Good, since no one is objecting, I declare that this farce of a day is now concluded."
Song Sha Dao looked at Shen Lang on the high platform and said, "Boy, come, your mother asked me to take you home for dinner."
"Home for dinner?"
Shen Lang was shocked by these words. He pulled out the Tai Yi Divine Needle from Gu Qing Han's head. Gu Qing Han then grabbed his wrist and said, "Little brother, wait for me. Don't leave your sister here alone."
"Don't worry, sister. I won't."
Shen Lang looked at Gu Qing Han and said gently, "Little brother will never abandon you. I'll wait for you to leave together."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Gu Qing Han's heart warmed, and she smiled, "Little brother is still the best."
After speaking, Gu Qing Han took the microphone from the pale-faced female host and addressed all the guests and members of the Gu family: "Everyone, I am Gu Qing Han. Next, I have two things to say."
"Firstly, I sincerely thank all my friends and family for attending my engagement ceremony. However, becoming engaged to Qi Tuo Jiang was not my wish. I agreed to it while I was under a spell and not in my right mind. Therefore, I announce that today's engagement ceremony is hereby concluded. Thank you all for coming."
Hearing Gu Qing Han's words, the Gu family members below the stage had grim expressions, while all the guests looked on with admiration.
Many people knew that Gu Qing Han was the director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Nanning Martial Guard, known for her efficiency. Seeing her today, she truly lived up to her reputation.
At this moment, Gu Qing Han spoke again, but this time, she was not speaking to the guests below, but to Gu Ding Tian and the Gu family: "I used to believe that the family I belonged to was a scholarly family, where everyone possessed good morals and a higher standard of conduct than others. Today, I see clearly. The so-called noble family is nothing more than a group of hypocrites who will stop at nothing for profit, a disgusting place composed of individuals with no bottom line."
"Therefore, the second thing I want to say is that from today onwards, Gu Qing Han severs all ties with the Gu family and will have no further contact with you."
"The ancients spoke of severing robes to break off ties. Today, I, Gu Qing Han, sever my wedding dress to cut off kinship."
With that, Gu Qing Han drew Shen Lang's Yi Xi Sword and with a single slash, cut off the hem of her wedding dress. She then returned the sword to Shen Lang's scabbard, linked her arm with Shen Lang's, and said, "Let's go."
Hearing Gu Qing Han's words, Shen Lang smiled, and then the two of them walked out of the hotel without looking back.
"You beast, you damnable beast."
After Shen Lang and Gu Qing Han left, curses were immediately heard in the hotel, directed at Shen Lang.
"Young Master Qi, are we just going to let this go?"
Kong Wu Dao's body was covered in wounds from the fish tank's power, bleeding profusely. Looking at the bodies of the unnamed Kong family venerated elders on the ground, he became even more enraged and said to Qi Tuo Jiang.
However, after he finished speaking, he noticed that Qi Tuo Jiang's eyes were as fierce as a hungry wolf or a wild beast.
"Young Master Kong, I want him dead."
Qi Tuo Jiang's voice was not loud, but it sent chills down one's spine.
This was the first time Kong Wu Dao had seen Qi Tuo Jiang in such a rage. He was shocked, but also overjoyed.
And with Gu Qing Han severing ties with the Gu family, the farce of the day concluded. After leaving the hotel, Shen Lang, Gu Qing Han, and Ye Shi Shi returned to the villa first. As for Song Sha Dao, he had long since slipped away at some point.
However, before leaving, Song Sha Dao sent Shen Lang a text message with an address, asking him to come over for dinner.
Upon returning to the villa, Gu Qing Han took a shower, then changed into a pair of white sports shoes, blue jeans, and a white shirt. Her long black hair was let down, giving her an even more heroic and spirited appearance.
The clothes and shoes were Ye Shi Shi's. However, their heights and builds were almost identical, so they didn't look out of place at all.
Seeing Shen Lang and Ye Shi Shi, Gu Qing Han's mood visibly improved, and soon they were chatting and laughing.
Half an hour later, Ye Shi Shi and Gu Qing Han went shopping to relax and eat. Shen Lang, who had an appointment, drove towards the address given by Song Sha Dao.
Song Family Estate?
After opening the navigation, Shen Lang entered the address and quickly set off. Half an hour later, he arrived at his destination.
However, upon arriving, Shen Lang was immediately startled by what he saw. It was a villa estate by the sea, not only larger than the White Horse Club but also incredibly luxurious in its decoration. It was probably unique not only in Nanning but also in Long Country.
"What, do you like it?"
Seeing Shen Lang's shocked expression, Song Qing Yi, standing at the entrance, smiled and said, "If you like it, it will be yours from now on."
