135: Chapter 134: Inextricably Linked with Women 135: Chapter 134: Inextricably Linked with Women “Sister Xia Tian could say without exaggeration that she has been Song Yun’s pillar of strength from his childhood to adulthood.
Whenever Song Yun felt lost or alone, she always chose the right moment to be with him.
Maybe they didn’t even talk, just sat together in a daze, but Song Yun was sure he had someone with him, so he wouldn’t die without anyone knowing.
That’s why he regarded Sister Xia Tian as something taboo to him,” Hua Manlou said.
“So there was this much to it, but it’s already too late, our relationship has become so stiff,” said Hua Qingcheng, somewhat heartbroken.
“No, I think this incident could be an opportunity for the two of you to really talk things through.
This time, I hope you can tell him everything you want to say and do.
With your smarts, you’ll definitely be able to figure him out,” Hua Manlou said with a teasing smile.
“Right, I think so too, but I seem to remember someone just called me a clumsy talker,” Hua Qingcheng said, cracking her knuckles with a popping sound.
“Spare me, sister,”
“You’re saying Hua Qingcheng likes the likes of me?” Song Yun sighed, feeling that fate was a bitch.
A girl who had been beating and manipulating his body and soul since he was a child turned out to be a confessor; the contrast was a bit too much.
“Yeah, judging by her performance just now, ninety-nine percent likely she likes you,” Li Shishi said seriously.
“I don’t know what happened between you two when you were kids, but I think a girl wouldn’t remember one thing for so long unless she has been picking a decade-long fight with you just to get your attention.”
“Fate really is interesting,” Song Yun said, stroking his chin when suddenly the phone rang.
Answering the call, he asked, “What’s up, Meng Ku?”
“Boss, Li Tang’s in the hospital,” Meng Ku said with a twinge of humiliation.
“What happened?
Don’t panic, tell me everything,” Song Yun took a deep breath, a glint of cold light in his eyes.
“I don’t know what happened, but when I opened the door, I found Li Tang covered in blood, lying on the floor,” said Meng Ku, full of guilt.
“Boss, this is my fault.
If I had discovered it earlier, he wouldn’t be in the intensive care unit.”
“Which hospital are you at?
I’m on my way,” Song Yun said coldly.
After Meng Ku gave the name of the hospital, Song Yun took another deep breath and said, “Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, Li Shishi touched Song Yun’s cheek with a smile and said, “Go do what you need to do; we’ll wait for you at home, but make sure to come back safe.”
No sooner had Song Yun stepped out of the house than Hua Manlou returned with Hua Qingcheng.
Seeing Li Shishi sitting in the courtyard lost in thought, Hua Manlou approached her and asked, “Where’s Song Yun?
He disappeared in the blink of an eye?”
“Li Tang is hospitalized; he’s already on his way there,” Li Shishi said, frowning.
“I’m going to the hospital right now to check on him,” Hua Manlou cursed.
“Sister, you stay here.
I’m going to see if Li Tang is alright.
Sigh, today’s not going to be a relaxing day.”
After dashing off, he left Hua Qingcheng and Li Shishi in an awkward silence, “Would you like a glass of water?” Li Shishi offered.
“No thanks, Xiao Lou and I just had some outside,” Hua Qingcheng demurred.
“Come on, don’t just stand there.
Come and sit down.”
Obediently, Hua Qingcheng took a seat next to Li Shishi, and the atmosphere grew heavy and strange.
“What’s the situation with Li Tang?” Song Yun rushed to the hospital and found Zhao Yan, Meng Ku, Black Flood Dragon, Wang Hu, and the others anxiously awaiting news.
“No news from the ICU yet, but it looks serious from the number of stab wounds I saw on him,” Meng Ku said worriedly.
“I have no clue who did it, but if I find out, I swear I’ll kill their entire family.”
“Calm down.
Meng Ku, you stay with me; the rest of you, go back.
We can’t afford to be without you lot holding down the fort,” Song Yun said with composure.
Once the others had gone, Song Yun addressed Meng Ku, “Now that everyone has left, speak your mind.”
Meng Ku had nudged him when they stood together earlier, and as an old hand in such matters, Song Yun understood what Meng Ku wanted to say, so he dismissed everyone else and waited for what Meng Ku had to tell.
“I found this on Li Tang,” Meng Ku presented a small bag from his pocket, containing a strand of hair.
“This is from a woman, right?
Why would it be on Li Tang?” Song Yun asked.
“I suspect it was a woman who did it, especially since Li Tang liked to frequent the brothels of Yangzhou.
I wonder if it was their doing.”
“Impossible, what reason would they have to harm their own client?
But the incident must be connected to a woman.
Has Li Tang been acting abnormally lately?”
“If I had to point out something strange, Li Tang mentioned these past nights that he’d hooked a girl on WeChat, and sometimes the kid would go out to meet her in the middle of the night.
Could it be her doing?”
“Forget the guesswork, just make sure you check thoroughly.
I want that woman’s information in my hands by tonight,” Song Yun demanded, his eyes flashing with a chill.
“Song Yun, how is Li Tang now?” Hua Manlou hastily asked as he arrived.
Li Tang was the Great Elder’s registered disciple, once a member of our sect, and later sent to study with Yimei Dao when the Great Elder’s old friend praised his potential.
“He’s still in the ICU; whoever did this will pay,” Song Yun said, emanating waves of murderous intent that made even Meng Ku, an assassin himself, struggle to breathe.
Hua Manlou patted Song Yun’s shoulder and said, “Let’s wait until Li Tang regains consciousness before we clarify the whole incident.”
“Sigh, how are things with your sister?” Song Yun asked, trying to compose himself.
“Sorry, I got a little heated just now and said some rash things.
Please apologize to your sister for me.”
“Why don’t you apologize yourself?
I’m not a messenger between you two,” Hua Manlou said with a playful tone.
“After all the harsh words I said, given your sister’s temper, how could she possibly want to see me?
You say it for me.”
“Nonsense; my sister isn’t that kind of clueless person.
She’s at your villa right now, talking with your woman.
If you want to apologize, go home and do it yourself,” Hua Manlou replied with raised eyebrows and a smile.
“Actually, my sister is also at fault.
She’s also very troubled right now, so…”
“Yeah, I get it, but let’s clear up this situation with Li Tang first,” sighed Song Yun.
