As Song Haiyang and Song Haiqing were constantly discussing how to handle this matter, a voice from outside the door called out:
"Great Elder, Patriarch, Elder Song Qiluo requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, the two were slightly taken aback. They knew the purpose of Song Qiluo's visit. After all, Song Qiluo was their most beloved sister, and they were all too familiar with her spoiled and willful nature. Most importantly, her son had died, and she was currently in a state of extreme anger, making even them hesitant to provoke her.
Thus, they immediately instructed the Song family disciple:
"Quickly invite Elder Song Qiluo in."
After exchanging a glance, Song Haiyang said to Song Haiqing, "Second Brother, our sister has just lost her son. No matter what unreasonable demands she makes, we must agree to them for now. Otherwise, you know we won't fare well."
Song Haiqing certainly understood his younger sister's personality, so he nodded helplessly and replied to Song Haiyang, "Big Brother, don't worry. I understand our little sister's temperament quite well. No matter what happens, I will go along with her wishes and ensure she has no opportunity to make things difficult for us."
After Song Haiqing finished speaking, Song Haiyang nodded as if it were a foregone conclusion. This was the best outcome for them; otherwise, they might not have a moment's peace. When the door was opened, Song Qiluo appeared before them. Compared to her usual spoiled and willful demeanor, Song Qiluo at this moment was eerily calm.
Song Qiluo entered the room without saying a word, simply sitting quietly, allowing the charged air to flow around her. After a long while, Song Haiyang finally spoke to Song Qiluo, "Little Sister, I've already lent you the venomous snake. What exactly do you want? You know this is a time of many troubles, and the Song family doesn't have spare manpower to help you with this. Once this period passes, I swear, even if I have to scour the entire Sun Base, I will find the murderer of my nephew and hand them over to you for disposal."
Song Haiyang's words were not insincere; it was truly a time of many troubles, and even the foremost Song family dared not be too careless. After all, many families had lost their centuries-old foundations due to a moment of carelessness. However, Song Qiluo before them completely ignored her brother, as if she had lost her hearing, standing still and unmoving.
At this moment, Song Haiqing also spoke to his sister, "Little Sister, it's not that Big Brother is unwilling to help you, but the Song family is currently in a very delicate state. Don't be so willful. You must help the family this once, mustn't you? Only if we survive can we avenge you, don't you think?"
Song Qiluo seemed to pay no heed to her two brothers' earnest pleas, instead staring directly at them. Finally, Song Haiyang, as if compromising, said, "In that case, let Haiqing help you investigate this matter. It would be best if a conclusion is reached. If not, our Song family will surely find a way to expose the true culprit who killed your son."
The most crucial issue for them at present was that they did not know who the opponent was. If they knew, it would not be too difficult for the Song family to eliminate them with their strength. It was precisely for this reason that Song Haiqing could help Song Qiluo quickly ascertain the identity of the perpetrator, as Song Haiqing was not only intelligent but also possessed channels they could not imagine. Song Haiqing was an intelligence operative, so he understood the entire Sun Base far better than Song Haiyang and Song Qiluo.
Once Song Qiluo obtained what she wanted, she finally stopped bothering Song Haiyang and left the Song family residence. Song Haiqing and Song Haiyang exchanged a look, then sighed in relief. Their sister, apart from being spoiled and willful, had no major flaws. However, she had one significant drawback: she was stubborn. Once she set her mind on something, she would cling to it tenaciously. Even her brothers' persuasion would not sway her. They were quite surprised to have managed to persuade Song Qiluo today.
Both of them understood Song Qiluo's grief over the loss of her son, but her way of handling it was still not calm enough. This lack of composure could become a fatal flaw in the eyes of their enemies, which was their greatest concern.
A moment later, Song Haiyang finally spoke to Song Haiqing, "Second Brother, no matter what, you must do everything you can to help our sister find the murderer of her son. Otherwise, this will be a fatal trouble."
They both knew that over the years, Song Qiluo had enjoyed stability thanks to the dual protection of the Song and Zhao families. Otherwise, given her personality, she might have died hundreds of times already. But now that someone could kill her son, they might be dealing with a completely reckless madman. For such a madman, the Song and Zhao families seemed to hold no deterrence. Therefore, they needed someone with strong capabilities and a clear mind to be their sister's personal bodyguard, and Song Haiyang felt that no one was more suitable for this role than Song Haiqing.
Song Haiqing nodded heavily and replied, "Don't worry, Big Brother. I know what I need to do and will absolutely not let my sister suffer any harm. There's also one more thing I need to tell you: we must strengthen external patrols, and only experts should be assigned to this task." Song Haiqing knew he might be delayed for some time, but he hoped that during his absence, someone would complete the work he had not yet finished. Only after they completed his unfinished tasks could Song Haiqing help his sister achieve what she desired.
After Song Haiyang and Song Haiqing parted ways, Song Haiqing immediately began investigating the cause of his nephew's death. He started by looking into the auction, as the auction was the most direct and primary clue, so he couldn't afford to overlook it. However, just as Song Haiqing began investigating Zhao Chunfeng's cause of death,
