231: Chapter 220: The Military Arrives 231: Chapter 220: The Military Arrives After finishing his business, Song Yun lay on the lawn, looking up at the vast starry sky.
Sunan City is a coastal city, so the freshness of the air can still make it nationally renowned.
On a clear night, one could also see the beautiful night sky.
Taking advantage of the moment when there wasn’t much going on, he thought it best to rest well.
After all, what lay ahead was akin to navigating a raging sea, where the slightest carelessness would plunge one into an endless abyss.
But trouble soon came knocking.
A underling came up and whispered in Song Yun’s ear, “Brother Song, the parents of that gang have shown up.
They’re outside the horse track demanding you release their kids.
Our guys are still holding them off at the door.
What do we do next, boss?
Drive them away or…?”
Sigh, trouble always seemed to find its way to him, and his good mood from drinking was about to be spoiled by these people.
But he couldn’t just ignore it either.
He still intended to gain some benefit from the other party.
Even the landlord doesn’t have surplus grain.
If there’s meat from a mosquito, it has to be eaten.
After getting up, Song Yun stretched his limbs and sneezed before asking, “How many people have come from the other side?”
“Including their parents, there are more than ten people.
Should we call more brothers over from the headquarters?” the underling asked respectfully.
“What’s the point of calling more people?
We’re not going to war.
We’re businesspeople, after all.
Since we’re businesspeople, we should follow the rules of their circle.
Their kids caused trouble on our turf, so they’ve got to pay the price,” Song Yun motioned Li Tang over and said, “Their parents are here.
Come with me later.”
“Me?” Li Tang looked at Song Yun puzzled.
“What do you need a rough guy like me for?
If you’re going to call someone, you should call Zhao Yan instead.
That kid’s got a sharp mind, full of sly tricks.
Maybe he can swindle more money out of them in the negotiations.”
“Are you not the victim?
Not just you, Bo Lin has to come too,” Song Yun paused and then said, “Forget it, let’s all go together and see how these parents discipline their children.”
Having called everyone, Song Yun entered a spacious room, where the underling rushed in and exclaimed, “Brother Song, the other side has brought in the military, and our brothers have been restrained.
What should we do next?”
“Military?” Song Yun was taken aback.
How could this matter involve the military?
Besides, the military brass in Sunan City had all met him and knew about Old Master Song backing him.
Which blind fool would dare to involve the military against him?
Now that the military had been invoked, Song Yun decided to respond in kind, ordering Meng Ku to fetch his military uniform from the Shura Alliance headquarters with utmost speed.
Damn it, he was a high-rank military official after all.
Although he didn’t wield real power, all these little scumbags should still salute him.
“Let those people in,” Song Yun said.
“Release those young masters to their fathers.
Find a decent place for them to catch up.
Remember, now that their parents have come, let’s avoid violence so as not to give them any pretext.”
The underling nodded and ran out to act.
Song Yun looked around the room, filled with people, and laughed, “I really didn’t expect the military to get involved in this.
Damn, do we really need to handle this the official way now?”
Initially, the young masters were confined in a pitch-black small room.
Because their shouting was so irritating, the gang members had slapped tape over their mouths, making it so quiet that they could hear their own heartbeats.
Thus, they spent a long time in fear and unease, but when someone opened the door and a ray of light hit their faces, they felt that the mere chance to leave was bliss.
After the Shura Alliance members untied them, they casually ripped off the tape from their mouths.
The pain made each of them crouch on the ground, clutching their mouths, full of curses but unable to voice them.
“Your parents are here.
Our boss is kind-hearted.
He’s letting you catch up with your folks first,” the gang member said disdainfully.
These privileged kids only knew how to show off and rely on their family’s influence to gain fame, completely useless otherwise.
At least he himself had some muscle to lead the charge in a fight.
“Are you… letting us go?” Fatty asked tentatively.
“Whether you leave or not is up to you.
I don’t have time to waste here,” the gang member said, keeping the door open and leaving.
After exchanging looks, the four of them moved together.
Unexpectedly, the gang members even led them to the room where their anxious parents were waiting.
When they saw the worried faces of their parents, all four started crying and telling stories of abuse they endured at the hands of Song Yun.
Fatty’s mother, seeing the marks on her child’s arms, shouted, “How did you hooligans treat our children?
If you don’t give us an explanation today, I’ll tear this place down!”
Skinny’s mother was shouting the same things, though without effect, as the gang members outside continued with their business.
Zheng Ju comforted his own mother, wiping away her tears, knowing Song Yun was done for today.
Indeed, his father looked grimly at Bai Mao’s cousin and asked, “Mr.
Xu, what do you plan to do about today’s matter?”
The man known as Mr.
Xu sighed at the sight of his younger brother bruised all over and said, “The person in charge today must give us an explanation.
Who incited trouble today?”
“Just a little punk who doesn’t take us seriously,” Bai Mao began, only to be interrupted by Mr.
Xu.
“Give me a name.”
“Song Yun…”
“Say that again?” Mr.
Xu narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, seeing his cousin’s fearful expression for the first time as if a knife plunged directly into the heart.
“It’s a nobody called Song Yun…” Bai Mao said indignantly.
“I warned him not to mess with me, but he still had me tied up and gave me special attention.
Look at all the wounds on my body, bro, they were all inflicted by that bastard’s underlings.”
