“Because you’re a mber of the Song Family, if you want to obtain enough from the Song Family, even to the point of taking over inheritance, then what you have now is simply not enough!”

“The Shura Alliance needs to at least beco a major organization like the Pudong Green Sect in order for you to gain more from the Song Family!

And as far as I know, your father, although he is currently the first in line for the primary branch of the Song Family Master, it’s not solely up to Mr.

Song to decide if he will have a smooth succession.”

“I suspect that everything you’re doing now is not just for yourself; it’s more for your father’s return, to establish a base for starters, right?” Ran Qiu seed to be asking, but in fact, there was a hint of certainty in his tone.

“You’re very smart,” Song Yun nodded.

“That’s why when I found out that you are still working for so people in Yanjing, I didn’t eliminate you imdiately.”

At that mont, Ran Qiu’s unchanging face finally changed color.

“What did you say!?” Ran Qiu asked in shock.

“I always thought that Xiao Bai would be the mole planted by our superiors beside Gulang, but it turns out that the mole is actually you,” Song Yun shook his head with a sigh, his thoughts drifting back to last night.

Last night, after Song Yun returned to his room, he received a ssage from Mr.

Song’s side that though Gulang had been abandoned by their superiors, there was still a mole planted by them at Gulang’s side.

This mole was tasked with monitoring everything about Gulang, then relaying Gulang’s movents to those people in Beijing through their unique thods.

Mr.

Song had so suspicions earlier that the people behind Gulang would not completely abandon him because, after all, Gulang had been operating in Sunan for over a decade, which brought considerable benefits.

Therefore, the people behind Gulang would definitely find so way to keep an eye on every move he made.

After Mr.

Song’s careful investigation, the mole beside Gulang was unearthed—not the previously suspected Xiao Bai, but Ran Qiu, Xiao Bai’s subordinate.

Mr.

Song’s ssage also said that Song Yun should just keep a watch on this Ran Qiu, and wait for the mont Ran Qiu makes contact with his superiors, allowing Mr.

Song to trace back to the origin.

However, after hearing it, Song Yun had a different idea—instead of just monitoring Ran Qiu, why not turn him to work for himself!

Song Yun carefully considered it; first, Ran Qiu was indeed talented, as the operations of Saint Martin were all managed by him.

Even now when his own bar was rising, Saint Martin’s position remained unshaken, proving Ran Qiu’s capabilities.

Second, if he were only to monitor Ran Qiu, the amount of information he could acquire was too little, and it would take too much ti and effort.

He didn’t have much ti to spare.

If Ran Qiu’s superiors didn’t contact him for a whole year, would he have to wait idly for a year?

So Song Yun discussed with Mr.

Song, expressing his wish to handle this matter personally.

Mr.

Song was initially very surprised, but later he told Song Yun that he was very pleased to see this developnt, as Song Yun couldn’t always live under his protection!

Thus, Mr.

Song agreed with Song Yun’s idea.

This led to today, where Song Yun specifically ca to Saint Martin to find Ran Qiu.

“I don’t know what you an by ‘mole’,” Ran Qiu quickly regained his composure, looking at Song Yun calmly, though his heart was still in turmoil, his facade was well maintained.

“I know what you’re thinking; you just want to use your talent to attract , then infiltrate the Shura Alliance.

As long as you breach our ranks, you will naturally be able to provide more information to your superiors over ti, and I, because your previous master Xiao Bai is dead, would lower my guard against you.

At that point, everything about the Shura Alliance would be under your control.

Then, once you display your ability, you would naturally enter the upper echelons of the Shura Alliance, which would make your tasks even easier.

I’m right, aren’t I?” Song Yun said with a smile.

“I still don’t understand what you are saying,” Ran Qiu said, frowning.

“Whether you understand or not doesn’t matter; I won’t kill you now and will let you continue working in Saint Martin.

Of course, you can choose to report your exposed identity to your superiors.

I believe they are more ruthless than I am.

The simplest and most effective way to prevent a compromised mole from leaking any information is to eliminate them humanely, which I suppose you understand better than I do?”

Ran Qiu’s frown deepened, but he said nothing further.

“Or maybe they are too reluctant to kill you, and you can believe they have the rcy of a bodhisattva,” Song Yun said with a laugh.

“What do you want?” Ran Qiu asked.

“Simple, work for ,” Song Yun said.

“Just as you and your people have planned, I’ll pretend I know nothing, and you’ll pretend nothing has happened.

When they reach out to you, you just need to let

know!”

“That’s it?

You’re not afraid I might double-cross you?” Ran Qiu asked.

“No,” Song Yun shook his head, “whatever you can get from them, I can also offer you, and more.”

“Heh, can I take so ti to consider it?” Ran Qiu asked with a wry smile.

“Up to you; you can take several months if you want.

You’re smarter than I am, so many things I don’t need to spell out, you should understand.

You’re in a dead end now, and only I can give you a glimr of hope,” Song Yun said.

“Hmm, I know.

At least now, I am clear on what I should and shouldn’t do,” Ran Qiu nodded.

“Then I’ve said all I need to.

When you’ve decided, give

a call; the Shura Alliance welcos smart people like you,” said Song Yun, and then he turned and left the room.

Watching Song Yun’s retreating back, Ran Qiu shook his head helplessly.

This slender young man had so swiftly seized his vulnerability, leaving Ran Qiu feeling as if he couldn’t escape the palm of Song Yun’s hand.

“Second Grandpa, the matter has been more or less settled,” Song Yun said, picking up the phone to call Mr.

Song.

“Are you that certain he’ll side with you?” Mr.

Song asked.

“Not certain,” Song Yun shook his head.

“Then why…”

“Second Grandpa, in this world, nothing is absolutely certain.

We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.

Don’t you agree?” Song Yun said with a laugh.

“Haha, that’s also true.

You, oh you, are becoming more and more like your father.

When you’re free, make a trip to Beijing.”

“I will, after I’ve dealt with these issues.”
