727: Chapter 716: Light, Urgent, Slow, Serious 727: Chapter 716: Light, Urgent, Slow, Serious “Since no one is willing to drop out, then it’s settled,” Song Yun nodded and said, “Everyone go and register your personal details with Song Yan in a moment.
I can’t guarantee that all of us will return, I’m not even sure if I can make it back myself, but as long as we have no regrets toward our brothers and no regrets in this life, that’s enough.”
“We know, Brother Song Yun!”
“We all understand.”
“To avenge Brother Wang Hu.”
At Song Yun’s instruction, the hundred men quickly registered with Song Yan.
“It’s not late yet, we’ll depart on time tomorrow,” Song Yun narrowed his eyes and said, “You will be divided into three groups, thirty-five with Jue Wu, thirty-five with Black Flood Dragon, and the remaining thirty with me.
Song Yan will arrange the specifics.”
After saying that, Song Yun was about to head upstairs.
Just then, the rumbling sound of trucks arose from outside the door.
Song Yun frowned and soon heard the orderly footsteps coming from outside.
Before long, about a hundred fully armed soldiers appeared in front of Song Yun.
“Mao Shan.” Song Yun looked at Mao Shan in military uniform, frowning, and asked, “What are you doing here?”
With an expressionless face, Mao Shan said, “By the orders of Commander Xu Hongxing and Secretary Zhang from the Sunan Military Region, military control is now being exercised over you.
Everyone stay where you are and don’t move; anyone who dares to make trouble will be executed on the spot for rebellion!”
“Mao Shan, what do you mean?” Song Yun narrowed his eyes, staring at Mao Shan as he asked.
Mao Shan suddenly blinked quickly at Song Yun, then continued, “I am only here following the orders of Commander Xu Hongxing and Secretary Zhang.
Commander Xu Hongxing has another order specifically for Major General Song Yun of the Sunan Military Region!”
“What order?”
“Commander Xu Hongxing wants you to report to the leaders’ compound of the Sunan Military Region right now, immediately!” Mao Shan snapped to attention and saluted before saying, “Please, Major General Song Yun, come with me to the leaders’ compound of the Sunan Military Region now.”
Song Yun nodded and turned to speak to the more than a hundred people nearby, “Everyone just stay here and settle down.
You all can stay upstairs tonight.”
Originally, the members of the Shura Alliance a bit put out by the so-called military control, upon hearing Song Yun’s orders, disdainfully glanced at the rifle-holding soldiers, and made their way upstairs.
Song Yun followed behind a stern-faced Mao Shan and left the Shura Alliance headquarters.
“I wasn’t supposed to come over,” Mao Shan’s face relaxed after they left the Shura Alliance headquarters and got into a military jeep.
He then said to Song Yun, “Brother Yun, take care.”
“Mm, I understand Commander Xu,” Song Yun said.
As a commander of a military region, Xu Hongxing naturally wouldn’t allow his grandson to be openly connected with Song Yun.
In ancient times, Song Yun’s current status would be that of an outlaw, and Mao Shan would be a soldier; the two should not be allowed to interact at all.
They silently arrived at the leaders’ compound of the Sunan Military Region.
In Xu Hongxing’s room.
Song Yun sat down on a chair.
In the past when he visited, Song Yun usually stood, but now he had earned the right to sit down in this chair, completely on the strength of his own power.
“You’re too impulsive,” Xu Hongxing looked at Song Yun and said, “The fact that you want to trouble Wang Billion is now known to everyone.
Even Beijing is watching you now; as soon as you make a move, they might catch you.”
“So what?” Song Yun said calmly, “My brother was murdered, my sister-in-law killed after carrying a child for ten months.
If I don’t take any action, then I, Song Yun, do not deserve to be called Song Yun.”
“You don’t have to be so flagrant about it,” Xu Hongxing said.
“You could have taken your time.
Revenge is fine, but if you go around blatantly saying you’re going to kill someone, that will not only prepare them but also give grounds to many who want trouble with you.
I recommend you delay this matter a bit, let it blow over, then secretly create some trouble for Wang Billion.
Of course, considering Wang Billion’s status, the most you can do is kill a few of his men for satisfaction; you couldn’t possibly be thinking of really killing Wang Billion, could you?”
“Really,” Song Yun nodded and said, “Wang Billion must die, and his family of dozens, all of them.”
“You!!!” Xu Hongxing’s eyes widened as he looked at Song Yun, saying, “You can’t be joking, right?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Song Yun tilted his head and replied.
“You…
do you know Wang Billion’s identity?
Do you know how important someone like him is to the economy of the Southeast?
Do you understand that if Wang Billion dies, you won’t survive either?” Xu Hongxing said, each question louder than the last.
But Song Yun acted as if he hadn’t heard and said, “I don’t know.
All I know is that he killed my brother, nearly wiped out my brother’s entire family.
Naturally, I have to avenge my brother, that’s all.
Mr.
Xu, don’t bother telling me about any powerful connections.
If I manage to kill him, let those up above come at me with whatever they think.
From the first day I entered this life, I’ve never expected to live peacefully or end well.
After all, what’s the worst that can happen?
I die, right?”
“You!!!
You’re insane!” Xu Hongxing glared at Song Yun, pointing at him as he spoke, “You’re really insane; this won’t do, I must report this to Mr.
Song.”
Song Yun sat there, his expression calm, paying no attention to what Xu Hongxing was saying; he just slowly continued, “I’ve always felt that in this world, no matter what you do, you have to weigh the cost against the return.
That is to say, is it worth it or not.
That thinking got me to where I am today.
I once believed that nothing was impossible for me in all of Sunan.
But then, last night, watching my brother lying on the ground in a pool of blood, I suddenly realized that I am not a god.
I’m just an ordinary person with more abilities than most.
I couldn’t even protect my brother and his family.”
Xu Hongxing held the phone, his expression changing as he looked at Song Yun.
“From the moment Wang Billion struck at my brother, it was destined that only one of us would continue living in this world.
Either he dies, or I die.
It’s that simple.”
In the end, Xu Hongxing pressed the dial key on the telephone.
The call was answered by Mr.
Song’s secretary, who, after Xu Hongxing identified himself, passed the phone to Mr.
Song.
“Mr.
Song, hello, it’s Xiao Xu,” Xu Hongxing kept an eye on Song Yun, afraid he would flee, and reported the matter of Song Yun wanting to kill Wang Billion to Mr.
Song.
“That…” Mr.
Song’s voice seemed tired.
After a long silence, Mr.
Song said, “Hand the phone to Song Yun.”
“Alright.” Xu Hongxing respectfully responded, then stood up and handed the phone to Song Yun.
