447: Chapter 436 Pretense and Deception 447: Chapter 436 Pretense and Deception When he got back home, he hadn’t expected that around twenty Disciples would surround the area, not knowing what they were up to.
When they saw Song Yun return, they just bowed respectfully instead of shouting “Brother Song” like they used to.
As soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Yan and her group solemnly smoking in the living room.
After changing his shoes, Song Yun laughed, “Quite the full house today, huh?
Didn’t I say I was fine?”
“Damn it, tell me who did this, boss.
I’ll chase them to the ends of the earth to bring them back,” Wu Li shouted angrily, seeing Song Yun’s arms wrapped up like a mummy.
“Keep it down, will you?
Don’t want the neighbors coming over,” Song Yun sat among them and chuckled, “Shishi, make some tea for them.
Look at them smoking like chimneys, aren’t you guys afraid of smoking your throats out?”
“Actually, I really don’t know who did it today,” Song Yun shrugged.
“But I’ll soon find out.
Damn, I’ve done nothing these past few days but get attacked, which makes me feel quite lost now.
Am I really that hateful?”
A bit of playful speech made the atmosphere a bit more harmonious.
Zhao Yan pushed her glasses up and said, “Yu Xue went to the military area today, and we haven’t told her about this yet.
But seeing you injured like this, even if we wanted to hide it, we couldn’t.”
“Haha, no worries, those punks could only scratch the surface at worst, it’s nothing serious,” Song Yun waved it off.
“If they were just after me, then all’s well.
I have tough luck, they can’t do much about it for now, but it’s different for you guys.
Be more careful lately.”
“Okay, seeing you’re alright, we’ll be leaving too.
You don’t worry about the headquarters’ stuff,” Zhao Yan stated calmly.
“Once you find out who did it, just let me know.
I’ll have the Vermilion Bird Sect look into it.”
After Zhao Yan led the way out, not even stopping to sip the tea that had just been brought up, Song Yun poured himself a cup and muttered, holding the teacup, “Damn, I hope the Assassin doesn’t go after the women around me, or I’ll definitely kill him.”
“They left already?” Li Shishi asked quietly, sitting next to Song Yun.
“Yep, didn’t you think they’d stay here for dinner?” Song Yun joked.
“Now is the time for Sunan to brace for a new storm.
If there’s nothing major, they wouldn’t linger here.”
“Ah, who could have imagined it would turn out like this,” Li Shishi sighed.
“To think that they would start using such dirty tricks.
How low can these people get?”
“Heh, they’re all talented killers, aiming for the maximum effect without caring about the means.
The saying ‘victors are kings, losers villains’ is about them,” Song Yun finished his tea.
“I haven’t even eaten lunch yet.
Hurry up and make something for me.”
“You better let Xiaoqing make it.
I’m afraid I might not have killed you earlier, but my cooking might just poison you,” Li Shishi stood up.
“What’s going on, can’t everyone just make money peacefully?”
“That’s what I think, but others don’t think so,” Song Yun replied.
Knowing Song Yun hadn’t eaten, Xiao Qing specially prepared a large feast, claiming he needed to properly nourish himself.
But before the meal could even be tasted, Gulang, Lei Ting, and Long Tiantian arrived together.
Song Yun didn’t intend to cater to them; there was still a pot of tea on the table, albeit a bit cold.
They could just make do, while Song Yun feasted joyfully on the spread.
After eating, he wiped his mouth, lay down on the sofa, and said, “Thanks for visiting me in your busy schedules.
I’m actually fine.”
“What are you talking about, that can wait,” Gulang sighed.
“Do you have any leads yet?
Need me to check it out?”
“No need, I’ve already narrowed it down to a few people,” Song Yun said, lighting a cigarette.
“If it hadn’t been for my damn good luck today, I might actually have ended up buried at that construction site.”
“Who on earth was it that broke our rules?” Lei Ting was filled with indignant fury.
“Uncle Song, don’t worry, I’ll have someone look into today’s incident when I get back.
I really want to see who dared to break the rules we’ve maintained for so many years.”
Song Yun just smiled and said nothing, inwardly cursing Lei Ting and Lei Long, one hiding like a venomous snake in the shadows, the other pulling chestnuts out of the fire – damn it, if he hadn’t had an idea about them, he might still be grateful to them now.
“Rest up at home, there’s no major business lately anyway,” Gulang patted Song Yun’s shoulder.
“I know you must have things to say to your beauties, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Lei Ting nodded too.
“Uncle Song, you really need to take care of yourself.
This big family can’t be without you.”
Listen, listen, such sanctimoniously noble words, but who knows how many of them were sincere.
As for Long Tiantian, ever since she arrived, she hadn’t said a word, just staring at the floating tea leaves in her cup, seemingly addicted.
After Gulang and Lei Ting left spouting nonsense, Long Tiantian still stared straight at her teacup as if she was addicted.
“So, find anything?” Song Yun asked from the side.
“I did, and I really didn’t see it coming.
The person I trusted most turned out to be someone else’s spy,” Long Tiantian chuckled self-deprecatingly.
“If you hadn’t alerted me in time, I might have died without knowing how.”
“What are you planning to do?
If you make a big move now, you might scare them off.”
“What else can I do but lay low for now, until the day I catch her fox’s tail,” Long Tiantian said fiercely, showing her leader-like demeanor.
“Seems like you and I are really linked by fate.
You got attacked here, and I found out there was a spy there; it’s clear they were specifically targeting us.”
“It’s not just the two of them; I believe Gulang is manipulating everything behind the scenes,” Song Yun extinguished his cigarette.
“It appears that good folks do get bullied, good horses do get ridden.”
“I just can’t understand it, I’ve been so kind to her, why would she betray me?” Long Tiantian’s eyes reddened.
“I’ve lived so many years without wronging her, but I never expected she would turn out to be a spy.”
