619: Chapter 608 619: Chapter 608 Meanwhile, in a dark and deep alley in Beijing, inside a very dilapidated old house, a man was half-reclining on a bed.
The man’s complexion was extremely pale, exuding an unusual, unhealthy pallor.
“How are you recovering?” a strangely appearing man inquired, appearing before him.
“Not bad,” the man nodded, then asked, “Ghost King, why did you save me?”
The one called Ghost King had an unusual purple hue on his face, and an insect-like creature poked its head out from his collar, looked around, then retracted.
“You don’t need to know why,” Ghost King said, revealing a smile that seemed unnervingly sinister, “Lei Long, since I saved you, you should repay me, don’t you agree?”
“Hmph, naturally, I, Lei Long, always repay my debts!” Lei Long declared.
“Then, can you give me that thing that keeps you alive?” Ghost King’s face turned a crimson color, and he suddenly began to tremble as if he were having a seizure.
“You play with poison all day, you’re deeply poisoned,” Lei Long responded, ignoring Ghost King’s request.
“Ha ha ha, don’t you think these little insects are cute?” Ghost King, displaying a vibrant Maya Coral Snake in his hand, said, “Bitten by her, even the masters on the Dragon List would die within five minutes without the antitoxin serum.”
Speaking, the snake on his hand suddenly twisted and bit Ghost King’s arm amidst the scars, most of which appeared to be snake bites.
“Darling, don’t bite me,” Ghost King said as he gently patted the Maya Coral Snake’s head, and oddly, the snake let go of his bite.
Acting as if nothing had happened, and without using any antitoxin, Ghost King stood before Lei Long and continued, “If you give me that thing, my boss can send you right back to Sunan and restore all that you had in Sunan.”
“Your boss, can he overpower the Song Family?
Can he defeat Song Yun?” Lei Long scoffed.
“Ha ha, whether he can or not, I can’t say; it all depends on your sincerity,” Ghost King responded.
“Let’s talk about it once my health has improved,” Lei Long said after a moment of silence.
“No problem, take your time, we are not in a hurry,” Ghost King said, then turned and walked out of the room.
Lei Long frowned and muttered to himself, “Song Yun, your rise truly surpasses my expectations.”
Shifting focus from Beijing.
In Sunan First Prison.
Zhang Longhu was comfortably lying in bed, his expression full of excitement, because in a few days, he would be released and could regain his freedom!
Each time he thought about it, Zhang Longhu was immensely excited; and amid his excitement, he also wondered whether Song Yun would come to pick him up.
Guessing Song Yun’s identity, Zhang Longhu supposed he might belong to some organization.
If Song Yun were to pick him up, would he invite him to join too?
If he were to join, he would likely be surrounded by a group and would no longer be bullied, right?
“Hey, Zhang Longhu.”
A soft voice came from the neighboring cell.
“Baldy, what is it?” Zhang Longhu whispered.
The prison’s informant, Baldy, pressed himself against the wall adjacent to Zhang Longhu’s side and asked, “What are your plans after you get out?”
“No real plans, maybe just stick with Song Yun,” Zhang Longhu responded.
“Song Yun, huh?
Tsk tsk, I could tell he was no ordinary person.
His outside influence must be pretty good, right?” Baldy inquired.
“It should be quite good,” Zhang Longhu wasn’t entirely sure.
“So, how about this, Que Men, Old Man, and I are also getting released soon.
Could you introduce us to him then?” Baldy suggested.
“You guys?
You want to dive back into that circle?”
“Of course, I have all these skills in being an informant.
Que Men loves to deal with goods, and Old Man enjoys being a mediator.
We are talents in this trade; I’m sure Song Yun will need us!” Baldy said.
“Well…
I’ll ask him when the time comes,” Zhang Longhu hesitated slightly and then answered.
“Thank you then, Longhu,” Baldy expressed his gratitude.
Zhang Longhu’s body trembled slightly; in prison, Baldy was quite a formidable figure.
Although they got along well, which was due to Zhang Longhu’s timid and easy-going nature, he didn’t expect Baldy to thank him even before he had officially started working with Song Yun.
Was this…
the benefit power brings?
Zhang Longhu unexpectedly developed a strong interest and desire for certain things.
Song Yun was unaware that Zhang Longhu’s desire for power was gradually growing; even if he knew, he would only support it, as he was very curious to see how a sheep would transform into a wolf.
But now, Song Yun was more intrigued by something else, as Shen Yan had arrived in Sunan.
Initially, when he had gone to hn, Shen Yan had owed him a life, but today, he had called asking Song Yun to pick him up.
According to Shen Yan, his family’s company had organized some kind of “Superwoman” talent show, and Shen Yan had been appointed as the person in charge and a judge.
Song Yun didn’t ask much over the phone; Shen Yan had called him yesterday to arrange a pickup for this afternoon.
After dropping Qingluan off at her home, Song Yun found a parking spot at the airport and was surprised to see a fleet of luxury cars, led by a Hummer, followed by a stretch limousine and an assortment of luxury vehicles.
Who was this arriving in Sunan?
Song Yun couldn’t help but stare a while longer.
This time Shen Yan came from Yanjing to Sunan, and after a long wait outside, Song Yun finally saw Shen Yan carelessly coming out with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
“Shen Yan, over here!” Song Yun waved and called out.
Shen Yan chuckled and haphazardly threw his suitcase to a seemingly subordinate person, then ran towards Song Yun with open arms.
“Dang, why the tight hug, I’m not glass!” Song Yun broke free from the enthusiastic embrace of comrade Shen Yan and punched him playfully, “Long time no see, has your orientation changed?”
“Shit, it’s just the excitement of seeing you~” Shen Yan grinned, and in the distance, the sound of car doors opening echoed as several strong men dressed in black suits and sunglasses, resembling TV mafia bosses’ bodyguards, got out of the cars one by one.
A casually dressed middle-aged man also stepped down from the stretch limousine
