259: Chapter 248 Persuasion
The car arrived quickly, and after paying, Song Yun reached the entrance of the courtyard house, took out a piece of gum from his pocket to get rid of the sll of smoke in his mouth, and then stood at the door for a few minutes.
When he felt that the sll of smoke on his body had almost dispersed, he pushed the door open and went inside.
It was about ten o’clock at night by then.
As he entered, a noisy sound ca from the living room.
After changing his shoes, Song Yun walked into the living room and found a few girls had turned off the lights and cranked up the speakers to watch a horror movie.
He thought, “These youngsters are watching ghost movies late into the night without sleeping, and with the volu so loud, what if they disturb the neighbors?” Just as Song Yun was about to correct their mistake, one girl suddenly scread “ghost!” Then, items like cups, remote controls, and pillows were hurled towards Song Yun.
He even felt sothing hit him on the forehead, no doubt thrown by Qingluan.
“Stop!” Song Yun yelled out as he turned on the living room light and bellowed, “Have you girls gone mad?
Staying up late, making a racket, I heard your screams from the doorstep.”
“It was you, you scared
to death,” Li Shishi panted, clapping her chest, explaining how pitch dark it was plus the eerie background music in the movie made it too terrifying.
“Scared you to death?
Just turn the volu down and turn on the living room light, would it still be scary?” Song Yun said angrily.
“But that would be less fun.
That’s how you’re supposed to watch a horror film,” Qingluan declared confidently.
“You have fun at my expense, look, isn’t my forehead swelling?” Song Yun leaned in and asked.
“Indeed, it has swollen.
I’ll go boil a couple of eggs to apply on it,” Xiaoqing responded, heading into the kitchen.
Just then, as Qingluan also tried to slip away, Song Yun grabbed her collar and asked, “Don’t you have sothing to say to ?”
“Oh Song Yun, Yun Yun, little Yun Yun, I really didn’t an it; who asked you to be so scary just now?” Qingluan pleaded, sticking out her little tongue.
“Once Xiaoqing boils the egg, I’ll help you apply it, look, I’m sincerely apologizing, please let
go.”
“You all, what am I to say?” Song Yun sighed and said, “Shishi, things unfolded rather quickly today, and my mind is a bit foggy, can you help
sort this out?”
After Song Yun explained the night’s events to Li Shishi, she sank deep into thought, sitting on the couch.
Such matters required profound reflection to see how much could be leveraged from them; one misstep could lead to continuous errors, breaking the link and rendering the whole situation increasingly difficult.
“Did the Wild Wolf show any interest in you?” Li Shishi looked at Song Yun and asked.
“You should know how powerful Wild Wolf combined with Lotus is; even if you ally with Fierce Tiger a month from now, it won’t be possible to defeat them.”
“I’m aware,” Song Yun shrugged, “I was just stabilizing Lei Long to prevent him from attacking Shura Alliance over minor issues.
When he brought this matter up, I was terrified, but the situation at that ti didn’t allow
any retort.
It was better to go with the flow and fish for so benefits from him.”
“Good, you handled it perfectly.
And according to my estimation, Wild Wolf and Lotus will be making their move in the next couple of days,” Li Shishi comnted with a frown.
“That’s unlikely.
Although the strength of Shura Alliance is decent now, it surely can’t match theirs in terms of depth.”
“It’s not about what you can do; they care about your stance.
Now that the Three Kingdoms stand, each gang’s situation isn’t too far off from the others.
If Shura Alliance joins Fierce Tiger Gang at this critical mont, Fierce Tiger Gang’s status will rise significantly,” Li Shishi paused and added.
“Moreover, today’s eting happened right at Wild Wolf Gang’s doorstep, they couldn’t possibly be ignorant of it.
Lotus Gang’s leader is manageable, if she uses the organization rely as a tool for her own power, then you’re under less pressure.”
“The main concern is the Wild Wolf.
If he approaches you, what do you plan to do?”
“Deal with it?
I haven’t planned to handle it.
As for the terms Fierce Tiger offered , I’m rely holding onto them.
I’m not arrogant enough to think I can do whatever I want in Sunan City.
If Wild Wolf offers
a promise, I’ll accept that too.
For now, it’s better to keep my head down and focus on making money.
As for fighting, we’ll see when the ti cos,” Song Yun said calmly.
At that mont, Xiaoqing had boiled the eggs and was rolling them on Song Yun’s forehead.
After finishing, everyone saw that it was getting late and each headed off to sleep, even Qingluan, who had energetically vowed to apply the eggs on Song Yun’s wound, yawned and exited the living room.
The next day, seeing that the three girls were fine, Song Yun decided to take them out for a round.
Just as they drove out of the courtyard, Song Yun noticed a car following them, bearing a non-local license plate from Yu Hang.
Smiling, Song Yun said to the three girls in the backseat, “Buckle up, we have a tail.”
Li Shishi, Qingluan, and Xiaoqing all peered through the rear window.
“Senior Brother Song, pull over,” Xiaoqing hesitated and said.
“We still don’t know who they are.
If there’s an issue, we’ll discuss it later,” Song Yun said.
“I recognize the owner of the car behind us.”
Not only was Song Yun stunned at these words, but the two girls beside Xiaoqing also widened their eyes and asked, “That car isn’t from your family, is it?”
“Yes, if I’m not mistaken, the car’s owner is my sister.
Senior Brother Song, pull over and give
five minutes,” Xiaoqing said sullenly.
Seeing her expression reflected in the rearview mirror, Song Yun pulled the car over.
After all, the person driving behind was Xiaoqing’s sister.
It’s difficult for an upright official to settle a family dispute, and Song Yun could intervene in many things, but not in others’ family matters, lest a few harsh words could hurt soone.
After getting out, Xiaoqing approached the car that had been following them, knocked on its hood, and said, “Get out, we’ve noticed you already.”
A woman in a tight shirt and pants, wearing sunglasses and with short hair, erged from the car and grinned at Xiaoqing, “Sis, how did you spot ?
I thought I was well-hidden.”
“It was Senior Brother Song who noticed you.
Speak up, why have you co?” Xiaoqing asked with a frown.
“Sis, the ‘Senior Brother Song’ you ntioned is Song Yun, right?
I don’t know what’s so good about that guy that you are so devoted to him,” the woman sneered.
“Sis, as I see it, you shouldn’t bother with such a loser.
Look, he has even co out; how could he compare to Brother Su Qin.”
“I’ll say it again and for the last ti, I can handle my own affairs without anyone else’s ddling,” Xiaoqing said grimly.
“You should return to Yu Hang.
Let’s just say we didn’t et today.”
