"Uncle Hua, you really have a keen eye, nothing gets past you. It was indeed the Scorpios who did it, but it's okay now. Where's dad?" Song Zhixuan had no choice but to tell the truth.
"God damn it! Those Scorpio bastards dare to lay a hand on you; rest assured, I will order soone to smash up their place tomorrow." Uncle Hua said imdiately, his eyes flashed nacingly upon hearing the news.
Clearly, Uncle Hua had been a fierce mber of a gang in his youth.
"Ah Hua, you're old enough now. Zhixuan might be immature, but shouldn't you know better?" Uncle Hua had barely finished speaking when the villa's door opened, seemingly by itself, and Song Wenhong walked out, his expression grim.
"Young Master! It's just that those damn bastards were too vicious! Besides, what are the Scorpios anyway? They are not worthy of laying a finger on Xu'er." Uncle Hua saw Song Wenhong coming out, and the ferocity in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by a smile.
Uncle Hua was an orphan who had been adopted by Song Wenhong's father, so he addressed Song Wenhong as Young Master. Even now, regardless of Song Wenhong's age, he never changed his manner of address.
"Enough, Ah Hua. Tis have changed. Do you really want our descendants to follow the sa old path we did? Have you forgotten how many good brothers we've lost along the way, separated from us by life and death?" Song Wenhong gave Uncle Hua a stern look and then turned to Song Zhixuan, speaking in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Dad, this ti it really wasn't my fault. We were at a bar when Scorpio's n started harassing these two friends of mine, so I stepped in to teach them a lesson. I didn't expect them to call in reinforcents and ambush us on the road," Song Zhixuan stamred, his heart skipping a beat as he hurriedly explained, seeing his father's stern gaze.
Song Wenhong glanced at Lan Xue and her friends, his eyebrows knit together slightly, a flash of displeasure crossing his face.
Not only was his son belligerent by nature, but also quite promiscuous; he had gone through girlfriend after girlfriend, which gave Song Wenhong, as a father, quite a headache.
"Yusi, are you okay?" Song Wenhong's gaze swept over the faces of the two girls and then settled on Gao Yusi with a concerned tone.
"I'm fine, fine, just so superficial skin wounds," Gao Yusi quickly replied.
"Hmph, obviously you can't just let it go if soone harasses you, but you have to act with thod and strategy. You dared to fight them even though you had two girls with you and Yusi, who has no fighting experience whatsoever. Moreover, you had no ans of escape after the fight; do you understand what reckless bravery is? It's a good thing Yusi and the others weren't hurt, otherwise how could I explain it to your Uncle Gao!" Song Wenhong glared at Song Zhixuan after hearing this and scolded him.
"Yes, yes, you're right, Dad. I really was impulsive and careless, almost causing a major incident. Fortunately, a noble person ca to our aid," Song Zhixuan said, his voice chilling as he realized his elders did not want him to be simply passive, but also did not approve of reckless bravery.
"A noble person?" Song Wenhong's face showed a hint of confusion.
"That's right, a noble person, a young man with the surna Ge. He's very skilled. Gao Yusi had a previous encounter with him back in Linzhou City. We were in a pretty bad spot this ti, but thankfully he just happened to pass by, and then…" Song Zhixuan replied.
"Surna Ge, a young man, are you talking about Master Ge!" Song Zhixuan's face paled as he interrupted.
"Master Ge!" Song Zhixuan and Gao Yusi, among others, were imdiately stunned.
Song Zhixuan was a prominent figure in lbourne's Chinese community; he not only knew the young Mr. Ge but also referred to him as Master Ge!
Gao Yusi and others perhaps did not understand the deeper implications behind the words "Master Ge" coming from Song Wenhong's mouth. Song Zhixuan, having grown up in a family with gang affiliations, had heard of such things and felt even more shocked.
"Alright, it's getting late. Ah Hua, ask the servants to prepare the guest rooms and arrange for these two ladies to rest for the night. Zhixuan, Yusi, co with to my study, I will apply so herbal oil for you," Song Wenhong noticed his son and Gao Yusi's shocked expressions, hesitated, then said in a deep voice.
"Yes, young master," Uncle Hua bowed slightly, then said to Lan Xue and the other lady with a smile, "Ladies, please follow ."
Lan Xue and her companion were intelligent people. Knowing that Song Wenhong had matters to discuss with Song Zhixuan and Gao Yusi, they obediently bid him goodnight and followed Uncle Hua.
anwhile, Song Zhixuan and Gao Yusi followed Song Wenhong into his study.
"Dad, do you know that Mr. Ge? Why did you call him Master Ge? I heard from Yusi that he's probably a second-generation official from the mainland," as soon as they entered Song Wenhong's study, Song Zhixuan couldn't wait to ask.
"A second-generation official?" Song Zhixuan was slightly startled by the comnt, then turned to Gao Yusi and asked, "Yusi, why would you think that?"
Gao Yusi briefly described the car driven by Ge Dongxu and the incident at the Lakeview Hotel, when she accidentally saw Ge Dongxu with Governor Sang Yunlong.
"I see," Song Wenhong nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Zhixuan and said, "Zhixuan, now you tell us about what happened tonight."
Seeing his father's counter-questioning, Song Zhixuan had no choice but to recount their unintentional eting with Ge Dongxu at the bar, of course omitting the disrespectful comnts made privately about Ge Dongxu and Betty.
He was no fool; he could clearly see his father's respect for Ge Dongxu. If he spoke out about those disrespectful remarks, he was certain a beating would inevitably follow.
It was fortunate that Song Zhixuan was observant enough not to ntion his private criticism of Ge Dongxu and Betty. Otherwise, not only would have been beaten, but Song Wenhong himself would probably have had to personally apologize to Ge Dongxu.
Though Ge Dongxu was not one to fuss over small matters or take such things to heart,
for Song Wenhong, it was a matter of great significance. Because not only was Ge Dongxu his elder and savior, but his abilities were also fearso to an extre extent.
"Not bad, you even received a complint from Master Ge before he left! As for this incident, I won't punish you. Regarding the compensation, just ask the Scorpions for a hefty amount, and if they refuse to pay, let know. I'll make sure they're eradicated from lbourne," Song Wenhong said after listening, his eyes shining with pleasure as he nodded and spoke with an overwhelming aura of authority.
"Dad, is that really okay? Although the Scorpions aren't very powerful, they are after all a local force. If things escalate, won't we be in trouble, too? Besides, aren't we currently at odds with the Hell Rebels?" Song Zhixuan stared at his father in shock.
He very well knew his father's unobtrusive style over the years, who would almost never provoke others under normal circumstances. In cases such as the Scorpions incident, now that they had already had their legs broken and paid a heavy price, his father would normally let bygones be bygones according to his past behavior.
But now? Not only was not letting it go, but he was also demanding a large compensation from them, which was completely unexpected for Song Zhixuan.
