258: Chapter 247: Each Harboring Ulterior Motives 258: Chapter 247: Each Harboring Ulterior Motives “Look at you, full of confidence, are you thinking of uprooting Wild Wolf and Lotus in one go?” Lei Long stared in disbelief, saying that even in his plans, he wouldn’t dare to think of such a thing; his intention was just to cripple both sides first and then slowly devour them to a certain extent before doing anything further.
He had never even dreamt of such a crazy idea.
“You’re right,” Song Yun said with an intriguing smile.
“If we’re going to play, we might as well play big.”
“What backing do you have?” Lei Long asked; could this kid have some unknown backing?
“Just this.” Song Yun tossed a National Security Bureau notebook onto the table.
Picking up the notebook with a trembling voice, Lei Long asked, “You’re actually with the national government?”
“Heh heh, can we now continue this grand dream?” Song Yun asked with a laugh.
“Ah, this notebook is very useful in lower-tier cities, but it won’t work in the provincial capitals.
Those two gangs are intricately connected with higher-ups; just think about the time that saucy woman was given a secret birthday present by her powerful backers during her birthday,” Lei Long sighed.
“Then why the hell are you even playing if you’re scared of everything?
Quit early.
This business has always been about living dangerously.
If you’re scared, what’s the point of playing?” Song Yun said disdainfully.
“You don’t understand the power of those two organizations,” Lei Long said helplessly.
“No matter what, we must first cripple those two gangs, you agree with that, right?”
“No objections.”
“What do you want after the success?” Lei Long felt it was better to settle the terms beforehand to avoid any reneging from this crafty kid later.
“I want two districts,” Song Yun ambitiously declared.
“One and a half districts,” Lei Long sighed, feeling that if he continued to deal with Song Yun, it would be hard not to kill this scoundrel.
That wasn’t just being audacious; it was like a python trying to swallow an elephant, not afraid of choking to death.
“Fine, but I want half of the city center too.”
“Agreed, then it’s settled.” Lei Hu reached out, shaking hands with Song Yun.
“I look forward to seeing your performance in a month.
Don’t disappoint me.”
As he got off the luxurious stretch Lincoln, Song Yun also casually pocketed the cigarettes from the table, considering Lei Long looked like he was about to drop dead anyway.
Better to take care of them himself.
Outside the car, lighting a cigarette, he looked at the woman waiting for the final result and commented, “You really are dedicated, aren’t you?”
“I have to be, we’re on Wild Wolf’s turf,” the woman replied with a slight smile.
“Has Brother Song finished talking with our boss?”
“Talks are done; you can go in,” Song Yun moved aside from the car door and said.
“A clever woman like you is truly the greatest aid to Brother Long.
I have no idea where he found you.”
“Please, Brother Song, don’t joke,” the woman nodded to Song Yun and then entered the car as it drove off, leaving Song Yun to realize with annoyance that Zhao Yan had driven off with his car.
How should he get back now?
Inside the stretch Lincoln, the woman sitting where Song Yun had sat earlier asked, “Did Song Yun finally agree to the demands?”
“He agreed, only the cost was a bit hefty.
Hmph, this kid really thinks he can do whatever just because he’s with the National Security Bureau?
Doesn’t he know that Gulang used to be with them too?
Look how he ended up,” Lei Long said, straightening his back and speaking disdainfully.
“These things are unpredictable; maybe Song Yun knows everything but is just playing dumb,” the woman pondered before saying, “He may look like he doesn’t care about anything, but when it really comes to his principles, he’s firmer than anyone.”
“What should we do then?
Surely we can’t actually split Sunan City with him after everything’s done?” Lei Long ground his teeth.
“Why can’t we split Sunan City with him?
He surely has more up his sleeve than just the National Security Bureau; there’s definitely more.
Since we still don’t know his exact intentions, why not work together for mutual benefit?” the woman suggested.
“What if we use a woman against him in the end?
He’s known to be surrounded by many women, and our spies report he loves them deeply.”
“Not possible.
If we corner Song Yun in a critical moment, he might do something extraordinary,” the woman shook her head and said firmly.
“Let’s forget that he has women for now.
I know he’s the compassionate type, but the other side of that is calculated interests.
The tale about Wu Sangui moving heaven and earth for the beauty is just a story; real power brokers wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“You’re right.
If we ended up making a move that backfires at the last moment, my reputation would be destroyed,” Lei龙 touched his nose sheepishly.
“It’s more than destroyed; no one would even want to greet you after that.
‘Misfortune doesn’t spread to family’ has been a constant rule for thousands of years, especially when it concerns women, a vulnerable group.
You use this tactic first, and more will follow,” the woman said sternly.
“Right, right, you’re right, my wise adviser.
I definitely won’t do it,” Lei龙 stood up, pulling her into his arms with a laugh.
By now, Song Yun was furious, pacing around as he had smoked two cigarettes and still hadn’t managed to hail a cab; every one was full.
How was he supposed to manage?
Just then, an empty taxi approached Song Yun; he hurriedly waved his hands.
“My God, after standing here for over ten minutes, I can finally get in.” He reported his destination to the driver and then started gazing out the window, planning to sort out the night’s events.
Throughout the ride, Song Yun pondered one question: if the operation went smoothly, what kind of collision would result between the Shura Alliance and the Fierce Tiger Gang?
“There can be no peace beside one’s resting couch,” both groups were no fools and surely understood this reasoning.
The inevitable clash between the two gangs afterwards was unavoidable; now the primary task was to develop his own strength as much as possible.
Starting tomorrow, he planned to have his force start expanding in the lower-tier cities, not believing the Shura Alliance would still be manipulable in a month.
