The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 720 Times Have Changed

"Grandpa, why are you suddenly asking about him again? The Anbang matter... isn't it already over?"

Song Anguo asked, looking puzzled.

"Oh, it's nothing. That kid named Chen has come to Imperial City and stirred up quite a few big and small incidents. We old geezers are planning to host a banquet at Baxian Restaurant tomorrow to meet him. Anguo, go and pass the message to him."

Song Kaijiang said casually.

Hearing this, Song Anguo felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Grandpa, you, are you going to deal with him?"

Song Anguo might be a playboy, but he wasn't a fool.

Moreover, growing up in a large family like the Song family, he could see through things easily.

A banquet at Baxian Restaurant was undoubtedly a Hongmen Banquet!

Song Kaijiang glanced at Song Anguo and said lightly, "Anbang's revenge, I must take!"

"Grandpa, you're confused!"

Hearing this, Song Anguo immediately became agitated, "Grandpa, revenge requires strength. That kid named Chen has heaven-defying power. What can we use to get revenge? Besides, Anbang's death was his own fault..."

"Shut up!"

Before Song Anguo could finish speaking, Song Kaijiang roared, "If you dare to say another word against Anbang, our Song family will disown you!"

Song Anguo was unconvinced. It was clear that Song Anbang had taken a crooked path for power. Why couldn't people mention it?

Unable to suppress his anger, he said coldly, "Grandpa, I won't mention Anbang's matter for now. I can also pass the message to Chen Xiao, but can you at least tell me what your plans are?"

The so-called Hongmen Banquet was not a conspiracy, but an open plot. Even if Song Anguo didn't say anything when delivering the message, Chen Xiao would surely figure it out.

Therefore, Song Kaijiang saw no need to hide anything from Song Anguo.

"The Jiū Qiān Suì (Nine Thousand Year Old) has agreed to take action personally."

Song Kaijiang said lightly, "That kid named Chen is doomed to die."

"Jiū Qiān Suì?"

Song Anguo laughed, "Grandpa, I don't think that Jiū Qiān Suì is necessarily Chen Xiao's opponent!"

Song Kaijiang frowned and asked, puzzled, "How do you know?"

"It's simple!"

Song Anguo said eloquently, "You can tell from the leader's attitude. Grandpa, think carefully. What was the leader's attitude after Anbang died? And then think about what the leader's attitude was after returning from the Northern Border?"

Song Kaijiang frowned and recalled.

When the leader learned of Song Anbang's death, he was extremely furious and promised Song Kaijiang in person that he would definitely give the Song family an explanation.

After that, the leader flew to the Northern Border overnight. After that, the leader returned from the Northern Border, and his attitude had changed greatly.

He advised Song Kaijiang to restrain his grief and said that Song Anbang had been confused for a while and had taken a detour.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words hinted that Song Kaijiang should no longer trouble Chen Xiao.

Thinking of this, Song Kaijiang's face darkened, and he sighed, "My Song family has been away from the core of power for a long time. With Anbang's death, the Song family has no successors, so it is reasonable for the leader to abandon the Song family."

Song Kaijiang thought that the leader's change in attitude was only because the Song family no longer had anyone in the court.

Such is the fickleness of human relationships.

But Song Anguo shook his head: "Grandpa, you're confused, it's not what you think at all!"

"You insolent thing, how dare you speak to me like that!"

Song Kaijiang slammed the table and glared at his good-for-nothing grandson.

"Grandpa, the Song family is not as weak as you think. You seriously underestimate Anran's influence. Do you think Anbang was able to become the commander of the Tian Ce Army (Heavenly Strategy Army) because of his own ability?"

"Isn't it?"

"Wrong, you're completely wrong to think that way. That's the leader giving Anran face, compensation for the Song family!"

Song Anguo said plausibly, "Anran's new transaminase technology has a huge impact internationally, and is known as technology from the future, an epoch-making..."

Listening to his grandson's endless talk, Song Kaijiang's face was full of suspicion: "Is it really that powerful?"

He only knew that Song Anran had come up with some very powerful scientific research result, but he didn't know exactly how powerful it was.

At its root, he didn't bother to understand it. It was just a mere patent technology, nothing more than making more money.

So when Song Anran set the press conference in Jiang City, he didn't pay special attention to it at all.

Now, listening to Song Anguo say this, Song Kaijiang realized belatedly that after that press conference, the treatment the Song family received had greatly improved.

Including some disciples and old subordinates who had been gradually drifting away, they all came to visit again.

"Anyway, it's much more powerful than you think, Grandpa. The times are different, and they will become more and more different."

Song Anguo said with emotion.

The implication was that you are old, it's time to delegate power, and stop playing the feudal patriarch role.

However, Song Kaijiang obviously didn't understand his grandson's implication, otherwise, he would have already been scolding him.

"But what you're saying is all Anran's achievements, what does it have to do with that kid named Chen?"

Song Kaijiang suddenly discovered the crux of the matter. He had unknowingly been led astray by his good-for-nothing grandson.

"Hehe, Grandpa, you don't know this, but Anran's new transaminase technology was able to succeed because of Chen Xiao's great help. Moreover, the two companies are now tied together, and the two of them have a very close relationship!"

Song Anguo said heartlessly.

"Preposterous!"

Song Kaijiang's beard trembled with anger, "That kid named Chen has a blood feud with my Song family. If Song Anran dares to be with that kid, don't even think about entering my Song family's door again!"

Song Anguo sneered in his heart, thinking that Grandpa still hadn't figured it out.

The current Song family is no longer your Song Kaijiang's Song family, but Song Anran's family!

But Song Anguo naturally didn't dare to say these words. If he said them, he would definitely anger his grandfather to death.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa, let's not mention this, don't anger yourself, it's not worth it!"

Song Anguo quickly persuaded his grandfather not to be angry, then changed the subject and said mysteriously, "Grandpa, let's not mention this matter. I recently heard about another matter. This matter is the key to the leader's major change in attitude."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, fart quickly if you have a fart, stop trying to be mysterious!"

Song Kaijiang glared at his good-for-nothing grandson fiercely.

Song Anguo wasn't angry, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I'm sure you've heard about it. Previously, Yaoshou (demon beasts) invaded the Northern Border, but in fact, people from the Mao Xiong Country (Bear Country - Russia) were behind it!"

"I know about this."

Song Kaijiang nodded, waiting for what he would say next.

Song Anguo cleared his throat and continued, "The last time the leader went to the Northern Border, he had a secret talk with Chen Xiao. During that time, Chen Xiao went out for more than twenty minutes. When he came back, he was carrying General Lusefu's head!"
