426: Chapter 415: If Not Successful, Then Be Benevolent 426: Chapter 415: If Not Successful, Then Be Benevolent In the battle, as long as your opponent is one second ahead of you, they are mostly likely to emerge as the victor.
The girl, seeing how swiftly Song Yun reacted, cursed inwardly, but knew that if she stubbornly pressed on with the assassination,
she would be the one to die.
With no other choice, she spun on her foot, turning around to dodge Song Yun’s lethal strike.
Her cone-shaped paper weapon redirected its attack fiercely towards Song Yun’s fist.
Song Yun sneered, transformed his fist into a palm, and easily clutched the girl’s deadly weapon, then quickly grabbed her hand and yanked her toward him.
The girl, unable to steady her feet, was captured by Song Yun and staggered, tumbling to the ground.
Song Yun showed no mercy; he grabbed the girl’s pink hair and slammed her against his car, “Tell me, who sent you to kill me?”
“Cough, cough!”
The girl coughed up blood twice, looked up disdainfully at Song Yun, and said, “It’s really sad that you don’t even know who your enemies are.”
“Heh, what kind of sadness is that?
You all come to die one by one, and I’ll oblige you,” sneered Song Yun.
“But you didn’t expect that your assassination would fail and you’d be captured by me, did you?”
“If not successful, then I’ll die a martyr.” After saying this, the girl’s neck went limp, and a trickle of black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
“What on earth is going on?” Gulang hurried up from the stairs and asked.
“I just came out and saw you fighting with this woman.
Are you hurt anywhere?”
Looking at the girl slumped on the ground, Song Yun didn’t speak immediately, his expression incredulous.
After a while, he said, “I’m fine.
This woman tried to assassinate me and committed suicide by poisoning herself when I captured her.”
“Damn, an assassination at the hotel entrance?
With what?” Gulang asked, astonished.
“Just this.” Song Yun lit a cigarette, kicked the hard cardboard on the ground, and said, “I really didn’t expect a girl to be an assassin, and attempt to kill me at such a crucial moment.
If it weren’t for my quick reaction, I might already be dead.”
“Shit, do you think Lei Ting did this?
Last time he dared to kidnap us on the mountain, it’s possible he hired the assassin this time,” Gulang said, frowning.
“I don’t know.
I hadn’t managed to get any useful information yet,” Song Yun took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, “It’s quite interesting.”
Because the fight between Song Yun and the girl was quite noisy, those in the meeting upstairs came running down.
Long Tiantian, wearing high heels, clattered over to Song Yun and frantically asked, “Are you hurt?
Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine, but this assassin isn’t so lucky,” Song Yun extinguished his cigarette.
“Things are only going to get less stable in Sunan.
Ha, to think they have started using assassins now.”
“Uncle Song, are you all right?
It’s terrible, this assassin deserved to die for trying to kill you right at the hotel entrance,” Lei Ting came over indignantly and then fiercely kicked the girl’s body.
“Uncle Song, you really shouldn’t have come out alone.
If you had stayed with the group, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.
If you have a meeting to continue, go ahead and don’t mind me,” Song Yun said indifferently.
“Lei Ting, this woman died on your turf, could you take care of it for me?”
“That’s not so easy,” Lei Ting hesitated.
“There’s nothing difficult about it; I’ll leave this matter to you,” Song Yun said, narrowing his eyes with a cold smile.
“Since Uncle Song has said so, I will reluctantly agree.
If you aren’t interested in the next meeting, you should head back and rest early.”
“No need to tell me,” Song Yun said.
“Brother Gu and Long Tiantian, are you two going to continue the meeting there, or are you leaving together?”
“I’m leaving too; that meeting isn’t of much interest,” Gulang waved his hand and said, “Song Yun, let’s meet for tea sometime, don’t say you’re too busy.”
“Sure, we’ll arrange it later.” After Gulang had left, Song Yun discreetly whispered to Long Tiantian, “Get in my car later.”
Long Tiantian looked startled, but her expression quickly returned to normal as she waved to Xinyue and Han Yue, “It’s late, and we haven’t had dinner yet.
I’m going to find somewhere to eat with Song Yun; you guys head back first.”
Xinyue nodded without speaking, but Han Yue chimed in from the side, “Can I come too?
I’m really hungry.”
“Ha ha, tonight is just for me and Song Yun, why would you two want to interfere?” Long Tiantian gave Han Yue a glance and said, “It’s settled then, we’re leaving now.”
Hearing this, the corner of Song Yun’s eye involuntarily twitched; damn, you really need to make our relationship sound so ambiguous, he thought to himself, wondering what those men might think.
But this wasn’t the time to discuss such matters.
Song Yun drove Long Tiantian to a coffee shop, parked the car, and after settling in, ordered some pastries and said, “Did you notice anything unusual?”
“Heh, if you all noticed, of course I did too,” Long Tiantian smiled seductively.
“The assassin today was probably hired by Lei Ting.”
“Whoa, I really didn’t notice you had such wits,” Song Yun said in surprise.
“But you’re wrong, haha, I have to say Lei Ting is quite the strategist.”
“How did I get it wrong?
Isn’t this his doing?”
“That’s right, Lei Ting is, at most, a scapegoat.
Most people would think that since I was attacked just after leaving the hotel, this suspicion would naturally fall on Lei Ting; it’s a typical thought pattern.
But there’s something you haven’t considered: between Lei Ting and Da Long, who could possibly have a connection with assassin circles?”
“One is a spoiled playboy, and the other is a tactically inept man.
From the incident where they turned against us on the mountain last time, I could tell that today’s event wasn’t orchestrated by them.”
“But even if they weren’t the masterminds, they were still complicit,” Song Yun watched as the waitress brought their food, stuffed a small bread roll into his mouth and said, “If they had tried to corner us inside the hotel, that would’ve been typical of them.
But hiring an assassin?
They wouldn’t have thought of that.”
“Then it’s strange, if not them, then who could it be?
Could it be that you’ve offended someone else?” Long Tiantian picked up her coffee, took a sip, and mused.
“Do you know why I asked only you to come tonight and not choose to bring Brother Gu along?” Song Yun said.
“Are you saying today’s event was orchestrated by Brother Gu?” Long Tiantian gasped, “Why are you so sure it was him?
It makes no sense for him to do these things.”
