665: Chapter 654 665: Chapter 654 “From what I heard, it’s not just the Green Sect in Pudong, but also the Axe Society that didn’t show up today.
As soon as I step in, I’m afraid there won’t be anything left for me,” Song Yun said, stroking his chin with a smile.
“Hm?
That’s an interesting statement,” White Tiger said slowly as he lit a cigarette.
“Brother White Tiger, your offer seems pretty tempting,” Song Yun said, scratching his head.
“I’m new to this scene and don’t know much even though I’m inexperienced, but I do know certain things aren’t just up for grabs whenever you want.
Brother White Tiger, do you really think you can always get what you want?
As far as I know, the Axe Society isn’t just a bunch of pushovers that you can take from as you please.”
“You don’t need to worry about that, I have my ways,” White Tiger said with a mysterious smile.
“Actually…
reading through my route isn’t impossible,” Song Yun said after a moment of contemplation.
“I can give up the Axe Society’s stake if it’s needed by Brother White Tiger.
Why not just give you an entire route for free?”
“Oh?
Give it to me?” White Tiger looked at Song Yun with some surprise.
“Since you’re just passing through my area to get into Pudong and not competing with me in Sunan, I trust first impressions.
Since I enjoyed our chat tonight and found you agreeable, there’s no need to trade for the route.
If you transport goods through my territory, I’ll turn a blind eye.
Consider it a welcome gift from me to you,” Song Yun said.
White Tiger looked at Song Yun with a half-smile, saying, “As far as I know, you’re not the type to leave meat uneaten!”
“While I do eat what’s available, I also choose what kind of meat.
Anyway, I’ve made my position clear.
If you want to move goods through my territory, I won’t help, but I won’t hinder you either.
You go your way.
Of course, I can’t let you meddle in my local affairs; that’s my bottom line,” Song Yun said with a laugh.
“Ts ts ts, you’re much shrewder than your father was!” White Tiger suddenly remarked.
“Oh?
Brother White Tiger, you knew my father?” Song Yun asked.
“I did!” White Tiger nodded.
“Back in the day, we both hustled around the Jingjin area, acquainted to an extent, had some dealings with your father.
However, I never expected him to flee the country, same as what I did later.
Heard he’s planning to return?”
“Yes!” Song Yun wasn’t surprised that White Tiger knew about his father’s plans to return.
The Song Family in Beijing had already been setting the stage for his return, so many were aware that the former Bai Ze of Beijing was making his return!
As the two talked, outside the private room, Qingluan leaned against the railing of the second floor.
Watching the dancing crowd below, her face was cold and silent, while Lin Yu stood awkwardly next to Qingluan, daunted by her presence, not daring to speak.
“You’re not Song Yun’s woman, eh?” Qingluan suddenly asked.
“No, we’re just friends,” Lin Yu honestly replied.
“How much do you know about Song Yun?” Qingluan lit a thin lady’s cigarette and then offered one to Lin Yu, who shook her head and declined, saying, “I don’t smoke.”
“In truth, I don’t know much about Song Yun either,” Lin Yu said after seeing Qingluan put the cigarette back.
“We’re just regular friends, that’s all.
I initially thought he was just some rich kid or something, but it turns out he seems to be the boss of some organization.”
“Shura Alliance,” Qingluan’s crimson lips enticed under the hazy lights, “Do you know the Shura Alliance?”
“Yes!” Lin Yu nodded; being from Sunan, she had heard a bit about the Shura Alliance.
“Song Yun is the boss of the Shura Alliance,” Qingluan’s lips curved into a charming smile, “The real boss.”
“What?!” Lin Yu exclaimed, stunned.
She had thought if Song Yun was leading any organization, it would just be some minor group.
To think Song Yun, who didn’t have the air of a typical organization leader, was actually the boss of the largest group in Sunan, the Shura Alliance—how could Lin Yu not be shocked?
“Surprised?” Qingluan asked with a rare light laugh.
“Indeed!” Lin Yu nodded.
“He doesn’t look like a ‘big brother’?” Qingluan asked.
“Not at all!” Lin Yu replied, “Although Song Yun can be quite domineering at times, he’s actually very approachable and easy to get along with.
He doesn’t always wear dark suits and sunglasses, how could he be the boss of such a big organization?”
“Heh, that’s exactly where Song Yun excels,” Qingluan spoke softly, “Song Yun is a man who easily disarms people, which makes him extremely dangerous.
It’s tough to let down your guard around smart people.
Yet, only Song Yun seems to do it effortlessly, much like Song Ergou.”
“Who is Song Ergou?” Lin Yu curiously asked.
“Song Ergou is Song Yun’s father.
There’s much more to Song Yun’s background than you might think.
If you’re planning to be his woman, it might be worth your while to know more,” Qingluan advised.
“I’m not planning on being his woman,” Lin Yu retorted, “that guy’s quite the playboy.”
“Isn’t that what men do?” Qingluan countered.
“But not all men are womanizers!” Lin Yu countered back.
Qingluan smiled and shook her head, about to speak, when suddenly, her lazy eyes sharpened in an instant.
The Qingluan from before, if likened to a gentle, non-venomous snake, now seemed like a truly venomous Qingluan.
Lin Yu was startled by Qingluan’s transformation and was about to ask what had happened when a beautifully dressed woman in green appeared on the second floor.
This was a woman whose temperament and appearance were impeccable, appearing to be in her twenties, with a hint of a smile on her face that made her instantly likable.
“Heh, Qingluan?” the woman in white asked with a smile.
“You are the Holy Daughter!?” Qingluan asked, frowning.
The woman nodded and said, “Is Song Yun inside?”
“Yes!” Qingluan replied.
“They say the Kunlun Saintess is now Song Yun’s woman.
Seems the rumors aren’t unfounded.”
“Hehe.” Qingluan didn’t respond but walked past Qingluan toward where Song Yun was.
As Qingluan passed, Qingluan’s aura peaked, causing Lin Yu to feel almost suffocated by the intensity.
However, Qingluan’s aura seemed to have no effect on Qingluan.
“Who is she?!” Lin Yu asked in astonishment, watching Qingluan walk away.
“This,” Qingluan said with a playful expression, her dominating aura now completely gone, “is one of Song Yun’s inner chambers, officially approved by Mr.
Song to be part of the family genealogy.”
“One of the inner chambers?” Lin Yu was flabbergasted, “This isn’t the ancient times, how can there be multiple wives and concubines?”
“Hehe, there’s a lot to say about that,” Qingluan took the lady’s cigarette in her hand, asserting, “Let me explain properly to you.”
