309: Chapter 298: Is There New News?
Watching Song Yun and his two subordinates act in perfect harmony, clearly considering no one present as worthy of their attention, the man desperately wanted to rush up and fight Song Yun but was stopped by Xia Tian.
Xia Tian shook his head at the man and said, “I wonder why Director Sun has the time to dine here today?”
Sun Chong now looked completely stunned.
He thought, who could have known just by having a simple meal one could bump into their boss?
Seeing the expression on Xia Tian’s face, Sun Chong knew that he must have been blacklisted.
Damn it, he might as well just go with it.
“I just hit it off with Major General Song and came here to have a meal, does Secretary Xia have any questions?” Sun Chong said with pursed lips.
“No, just really admiring Director Sun’s courage.
I wonder if you will still be able to sit so comfortably in your chair in the future.” Xia Tian said with a cold laugh.
“Major General Song, you don’t mind if we add a chair here, do you?”
“Of course not, Secretary Xia, who are you?
How can I say no to you?” Song Yun said sarcastically.
Xia Tian acted as if he hadn’t heard Song Yun’s mockery, and after having the waiter add two more chairs he said, “Major General Song has always been hostile toward me.
I truly don’t know where I might have offended you.
If I have, may I offer an apology here?”
“No, we didn’t know each other before; how could I have been offended by you?
It’s just, I have this bad habit.
If someone shows me respect, I return it tenfold.
But if someone tries to trample on me, I’ll make it so even their mother won’t be able to recognize them.”
“You’re pushing it too far, Song Yun!” The man standing next to Xia Tian stood up and shouted.
“You think you’re so important?
Just wait until you get back to Sunan and you won’t even know how you died.”
“You needn’t worry about me.
I was actually questioning whether you’re connected with that organization in Sunan, and now it seems I was right.
You’re called Da Long, right?” Song Yun said at a leisurely pace.
“I wonder who gave you the courage to talk to a military Major General like that.”
“Hey, some things are less fun when said aloud.” Xia Tian quelled Da Long’s fury with a smile and asked, “Does Major General Song have any further advice?
I, Xia Tian, will take it all.”
“No, how dare I give you advice,” Song Yun shook his head and said.
“It’s my duty to stamp out illegal organizations, so I hope Secretary Xia won’t inquire too much into this matter.”
“Alright,” Xia Tian said after a moment of silence.
“I won’t interfere with your affairs, but let’s end today’s incident here.
We’re all high-ranking individuals; there’s no need to fight to the death over two people.
It’s getting late; I should head to work.
Goodbye.”
After saying these surprising words, Xia Tian left with Da Long.
As soon as they left the private room, Da Long angrily said, “What a joke.
He’ll be dead one day.”
“Nicely said, so let’s make him dead,” Xia Tian said while licking his lips.
“Don’t tell me you don’t have some secret people in there.
If you’re going to act, make it quick, accurate, and ruthless—don’t leave anyone alive.”
“Are we really going to kill him?” Da Long asked, thrilled at the prospect.
“Up to you.” After saying this, Xia Tian left the hotel by himself, leaving Da Long to start ordering his men to get to work.
Back in the private room, Sun Chong ate his food with a bitter expression.
Seeing his state, Song Yun asked, “Why the frown, Director Sun?
Could it be today’s drink isn’t to your liking?”
“Not at all, it’s just that I’m worried about my future path,” Sun Chong sighed and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
“No need to worry, it’s just Xia Tian.
Without him, do you think you can’t live on?” Song Yun said indifferently.
“What’s your plan?”
“Mayor Wang, think about it.
In Tian Nan City, it’s not just Xia Tian who has a say.
I think Mayor Wang is a good person, genuine and unlikely to mistreat his subordinates,” Song Yun added.
“Of course, the final decision still depends on what Director Sun thinks.”
Until the end of the meal, Sun Chong had not fully expressed his opinion.
Watching Sun Chong leave the private room, Song Yun sneezed and said, “Keep an eye on Da Long’s every move recently.
I believe they won’t be as quiet as before during this time.”
This meal was uneventful, but Song Yun had already gained what he wanted.
The thought of killing two birds with one stone made him proud of his cleverness.
However, his pride didn’t last long before the phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
With confusion, Song Yun answered, “This is Song Yun, who is this?”
“It’s your Brother Tang.”
Brother Tang?
He didn’t recall many with the surname Tang.
“Sorry, you might have the wrong number.”
“It’s not a mistake.
I’m your elder brother, Tang Lin.
Just a few months without seeing me and you’ve already forgotten me?” Tang Lin said from the other side, sounding aggrieved.
“I even brought you news this time, and yet you don’t recognize me.
You’ve really hurt my feelings.”
“No, no, it’s just that things have been very hectic recently; my mind is a bit scrambled,” Song Yun chuckled dryly, wondering why this weird uncle had come to Sunan bringing news out of nowhere.
He really didn’t know what kind of game Tang Lin was playing.
“I knew you’d be in over your head.
You’re in Tian Nan City, right?
I’ll be there soon.
I’ll call you then,” Tang Lin finished and hung up without giving Song Yun a chance to speak.
Song Yun scratched his head for a long time, unable to think of what news he might be lacking.
Never mind, if he can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it.
Turning around, he saw Li Yueyue sprawled on the sofa and said with a laugh, “I went home to think, why did you follow me if you’re not going shopping?”
“Shopping alone isn’t fun.” Li Yueyue licked the ice cream in her hand; her actions, along with the white, ambiguous marks at the corner of her mouth, started some unashamed fantasies in Song Yun’s mind.
“Let’s go, since the business is almost done, I’ll go shopping with you,” Song Yun declared generously.
“Really?
You’re not going to think anymore?” Li Yueyue asked excitedly.
“What’s there to think about when I can accompany a beautiful woman shopping?” Song Yun changed clothes, and the two drove to a shopping plaza.
After parking the car, Song Yun followed Li Yueyue around the shops.
At that moment, Li Yueyue was no different from an ordinary girl.
If she liked something, she would drag Song Yun inside to take a look and even haggle with the shop owner.
Seeing Li Yueyue haggling for over half an hour over a bag that cost more than 400 yuan, Song Yun laughed quietly.
His wallet was still in her possession, and although it didn’t have tens of thousands, it still had a few thousand.
And in those black and gold cards in there, there were millions.
He wasn’t short of those four hundred yuan, but somehow, seeing Li Yueyue haggling over a few hundred yuan made Song Yun think she was really adorable.
