331: Chapter 320: Friendly Match 331: Chapter 320: Friendly Match Li Yueyue didn’t come to receive it, so Song Yun had no choice but to do the honors.
He picked up the photo and thought, damn, this kid was the one who was chasing after Li Shishi not long ago, the one he himself ended up beating up, and now this kid was the suitor in question?
“What’s this guy’s status in the Bai Family?” Song Yun asked, frowning, as he sensed a hint of conspiracy in the situation.
“The legitimate eldest grandson, the fourth in line for succession in the Bai Family,” Mr.
Li stated.
“Why?
You’re not thinking of playing dirty tricks on him, are you?”
“I’ve met him.
He had harassed Shishi before, but after she rejected him, he returned to the Bai Family to propose to Li Yueyue.
You should guess what that implies, sir.” Song Yun spoke gravely, “Since this kid is a big shot in the Bai Family, he must know Shishi’s standing.
All this was planned by him, and the two girls from the Li Family are just his prey.”
“That makes some sense.” If Mr.
Li hadn’t known about this matter, he might have assumed that Song Yun simply didn’t want to let Li Yueyue leave, but now the situation had changed.
This Bai Family kid clearly had come prepared with ill intentions.
“I’m willing to help you investigate this matter,” Song Yun offered loyally.
To those who didn’t know him, they might think Song Yun was just a righteous young man.
“What will you investigate with?
Your influence in Sunan hasn’t reached the top level yet.
Even if you find out there’s a problem with the Bai Family, what can you do?” Mr.
Li stood up, leaned on his cane, walked over to Song Yun, and stared at him, asking, “Or are you hiding some cards up your sleeve?”
“I’m just a common man and wouldn’t do anything outrageous.
But my grandfather, he got wind of this situation from somewhere and after hearing about it, he was very angry, said that if things got out of hand, he’d have my back,” Song Yun said with a playful smile.
“Did Mr.
Song say anything else?” As long as Mr.
Song was willing to step in, whatever happened with the Bai Family would be their concern.
In the end, the Li Family wouldn’t bear the brunt.
“My grandfather said that Li Yueyue is a good kid and he really likes her.
She shouldn’t just marry into a mongrel family like the Bai’s, so he asked me to intervene,” Song Yun said, shrugging his shoulders.
After all, Mr.
Li didn’t know the real truth, so Song Yun could boast as much as he wanted.
“Did Mr.
Song really say that?” Mr.
Li asked, his eyes brightening.
At their level of status, liking someone meant truly liking them, and hating meant truly hating; they wouldn’t change their stance because of some incident.
“Really, why would I bother lying to you,” Song Yun replied with a placating smile.
“But today’s matter can’t just be let go easily, after all, there are so many eyes watching us.
Li Yueyue should stay at the Li Family for now, and we can make further plans after this matter blows over,” Mr.
Li said with a couple of coughs.
“Grandpa, I don’t want to endure their ridicule every day,” Li Yueyue complained reluctantly.
“You don’t know how nasty they were just now on the ground floor.”
“But in the end, didn’t you give it right back to them?” Mr.
Li stepped forward, taking Li Yueyue’s hand, “What they really covet is the shares and inheritance rights in your hands.
Since that’s the case, why stay here and fight every day?”
“They’re all a bunch of insatiable people.
I hate them the most.
They don’t dare to bully those who are strong, only picking on their own family.
Have they all forgotten what I used to be like?” Li Yueyue scoffed coldly.
“Alright, Song Yun, you should leave now.
The rest is up to you; this old man is tired,” Mr.
Li issued the order to clear out, and Song Yun had no choice but to take his leave.
After leaving the Li Family, Song Yun dropped Li Yueyue off at Li Shishi’s Hongtu Group, where it seemed Li Yueyue intended to give her grand-aunts and great-aunts a piece of her mind in secret, ensuring they wouldn’t covet her possessions anymore.
Finally getting some downtime, Mao Shan called to say there was a problem at the Sunan Military Region and asked him to come.
What kind of problem could there be at the Sunan Military Region?
Could there actually be someone foolhardy enough to start trouble within the military?
To say nothing of getting beaten to death and dumped on the side of the street, just the sight of a row of gun-toting soldiers was enough to scare anyone half to death.
As Song Yun drove and mulled over things, he realized that his problems were mounting.
The Bai Family’s issues, the Li Family’s concerns, the matters of the underworld, the Xiao Family’s business, and soon there would be matters concerning the Song Family.
Song Yun felt that his initial intention for returning had been tossed into oblivion.
He had only wanted to live a peaceful life, occasionally chatting up girls and showing off a little.
If he had known he would get into this much trouble, he would have just continued being a wild man in Africa.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Sunan Military Region, that little rascal Mao Shan actually showed some respect, having waited for him at the gate early.
Damn it, his rush to call him over definitely meant no good.
Who said that the military was full of honest folks?
When people are put in certain positions, they all change from honest to cunning, not by nature but due to external forces.
“Brother Yun, you finally made it.
I’ve been dying to see you,” Mao Shan gave him a bear hug, which Song Yun stopped.
Looking at the row of military vehicles parked on the ground, Song Yun asked, “What’s the matter that you called me over for?
Also, why are there so many vehicles brought from the Northeast?
Don’t tell me your region is about to be taken over by the Northeast Military District.”
“Don’t even talk about it.
The country is having some sort of military friendship competition.
Damn, to put it plainly, it’s about choosing the elite of your own forces to challenge other military regions.
Unfortunately, our Sunan Military Region has caught the eye of the Northeast Military District,” Mao Shan sighed.
“I heard the Northeast Military District is quite formidable, having defeated four military districts in a row, and we want to save face, so we can’t be the fifth one.
That’s why we have to pull you in.”
“I see.
You wouldn’t invite me without a good reason.
You’re just planning to screw me over,” Song Yun muttered in dissatisfaction.
“Hehe, Brother Yun, how could this be screwing you over?
You’re also part of our Sunan Military Region.
When your ID was being processed, it was my grandfather who took care of it personally.”
It was strange, Song Yun really hadn’t heard Mao Shan talk about his family before.
From today’s conversation, it seemed like his grandfather was also a military man, and apparently held quite a high rank.
“Alright, it’s a matters among brothers, so I’ll go in and take a look,” Song Yun said, sneezing.
After the two entered, they saw many individuals from the Northeast Military District along the way.
They all shared common traits: tall, strong, with piercing eyes like tigers, and prominent temples, signs of external martial arts practiced to a certain extent.
They were all exceptional people.
