378: Chapter 367: Uninvited Guest 378: Chapter 367: Uninvited Guest “I have a hypothesis for you all.
What if Lei Long isn’t dead but just faked his death?
What if he waited until our organizations had severely weakened from fighting each other and then reappeared to reap the benefits?
How likely do you think that is?”
“Less than thirty percent.
How could he be so certain that his organization would not be devoured by us first?
Even if he were still alive, if he had no market share by then, wouldn’t that be just like being dead?” Meng Ku replied.
“That’s exactly what puzzles me.
What on earth is Lei Long trying to accomplish?” Song Yun sighed.
“You all go out first.
Let me have some peace.”
Song Yun sat in his chair, doodling and writing all day, but still without any clues.
He felt it was too fantastical—an underworld boss poisoned casually by a subordinate?
The person who would handle Lei Long’s drink had to be a close subordinate, not some newcomer whom he wouldn’t trust.
So, the question arises: would a close subordinate kill Lei Long just because he was humiliated?
It made no logical sense.
Forget it, if it can’t be figured out, then stop thinking about it.
The day after tomorrow, Lei Long’s body would be revealed, and whether it was real or fake would be evident.
At this time, not only was Song Yun frustrated, but Gulang was also distressed.
Why had Lei Long just died like that?
He could smell a conspiracy, but couldn’t pinpoint its origin.
“The day after tomorrow is Lei Long’s funeral.
Keep your eyes peeled then to see what Fierce Tiger is really up to,” Gulang shouted angrily.
“Boss, why should we wait for his funeral?
The brothers are already restless,” a man with a tattoo of the Azure Dragon on his back said.
“Are you stupid, or am I?
Am I a fool?
Attacking before Lei Long’s funeral, do you want to kill me?
Do you want to doom Wild Wolf?” The more Gulang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he kicked the man aside.
The next morning, Song Yun got up early, not because he had errands to run but because of an unexpected visitor.
Seeing Gulang sitting across from him with a worried expression, Song Yun opened his mouth wide like a hippopotamus and yawned, “Why are you here so early?
I haven’t even woken up yet.”
“You still feel like sleeping?” Gulang looked at Song Yun in surprise.
Not just him, but all the bosses in Sunan had been wracking their brains over last night’s matters.
“What?
You didn’t sleep last night?” Song Yun, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye, said, “Nothing is more important than sleeping and eating.
It’s good to put things aside sometimes, rather than ruining your health over something minor.”
“Is this a minor matter?” Gulang said with an uneasy look, but then something struck him, and he stared at Song Yun with a sly smile, “Does Brother Song know some inside information?
If you do, share it with me.
I didn’t sleep all night yesterday.”
“I don’t know.
This situation came so abruptly that I thought about it for a long time.
But the more I thought, the more it didn’t make sense.
So, I just decided to get a good night’s sleep.” Song Yun replied nonchalantly.
“Sigh, only you could be so relaxed.
Look at the other bosses outside, they probably look even more haggard than me.
If things were going to get chaotic by the end of the month, we would have had some buffer time, but this has come too suddenly, pushing Sunan into the limelight,” Gulang lit a cigarette and said.
“Tomorrow is Lei Long’s funeral, right?
Whether it’s real or fake will be clear then.
You can’t possibly fail to distinguish your adversary of so many years,” Song Yun chuckled.
“Of course I can tell, but you seem too calm.
I also visited Lotus recently, and that woman is almost going insane, looking so pitiful with her disheveled appearance,” Gulang clucked his tongue.
“I suppose in all of Sunan, only you might be spending delightful nights with beauties.”
“Heh heh, that’s because you all take your power too seriously.
If you played it cool like me, you wouldn’t have insomnia,” Song Yun scoffed.
“But big brother Gulang is indeed compassionate, still finding time to check on Lotus’s Long Tiantian.”
“What’s there to see in that woman?
She’s just a pawn from above in the local area.
After all these years, her time of glory and wealth is over.
If we go to war, Long Tiantian will lose more than a little,” Gulang waved dismissively.
“That’s true, a woman as the principal support tends to get looked down upon, especially since most of her business is in nightclubs.
Without any developing territory, her coming days are going to be tough,” Song Yun also lit a cigarette.
“Yeah, I didn’t come here for anything else today, just wanted to ask what Brother Song thinks.”
“My thoughts?
Ha, what can I, a mere civilian, think?
Just remember to leave me out when you wolves start to feast.
I just want to make money peacefully,” Song Yun joked.
“Don’t you feel your territory is getting too small?
I can’t monopolize Fierce Tiger’s territory alone; it will certainly be scavenged by smaller organizations.
I’d rather ally with you than let those profits slip to those jesters,” Gulang said seriously.
“Brother Song, let’s join forces.
Once we start, Sunan will become your most stable base.”
Indeed, that was Gulang’s purpose for visiting today.
Damn it, it’s just Lei Long’s death.
Gulang was not kept awake just by that.
He cared about the attitude of the Shura Alliance.
If Gulang and Fierce Tiger started fighting and he interfered, it would drain his vitality, something he couldn’t allow.
“Big brother Gulang, you can’t be so selfish.
Making money together is the way to go.
We’ll take just a third of Fierce Tiger’s market, and you can distribute the rest however you like, even if it means donating to charity, I won’t mind,” Song Yun proposed.
“Awesome.
If I had Brother Song’s magnanimity, why would I still be stuck in this small place in Sunan?
I would have moved beyond Asia by now,” Gulang’s expression softened upon hearing Song Yun’s stance.
“Well, it’s getting late.
If big brother Gulang hasn’t had breakfast yet, why don’t we eat something together?” Song Yun offered with a smile.
“No thanks, I don’t want to interrupt your meal with the beauties.
See you tomorrow,” Gulang left with a carefree turn.
Song Yun lay back on the sofa, deep in thought.
Gulang today mostly carried not just his own interests.
From his words, it seemed like Fierce Tiger’s territory and Long Tiantian were also of his concern, but it didn’t matter as long as his own interests were safeguarded.
“Dinner’s ready!” Li Shishi called out loudly.
Song Yun got up, shaking his head, leaving all thoughts behind, and just as he sat down, he found nothing in front of him.
Looking over, he saw Li Shishi and the girls wolfing down sandwiches, making Song Yun feel like the girls were seeking revenge on him.
