I’ll take you somewhere,” Song Yun said after calling the waiter to pay the bill.
“Where are we going this late?” Li Yueyue asked, puzzled.
She had drunk a bit too much today and still felt somewhat dizzy.
“You’ll know in a bit.” Song Yun made a phone call to Wang Hu, asking him to prepare a motorcycle.
Wang Hu was known for his fast efficiency, and soon he rapidly approached on a large motorcycle from afar, making a dramatic stop in front of Song Yun.
“Boss, where do you want to go at this time of night?
Let me drive you there,” Wang Hu said worriedly.
They were in a tricky phase with the Panlong Gang, and it would be disastrous if anything happened to the boss.
It wouldn’t matter how many markets he could open up.
“It’s okay, I’m just going out for a ride,” Song Yun took the helmet from Wang Hu and said with a smile to Li Yueyue, who was zoning out, “Get on.”
Li Yueyue naively climbed onto the back of the bike, hugged Song Yun tightly around his waist, and asked, “Where are we going?”
“Don’t ask too many questions.
Just hold on to me and take a nap.
By the time you wake up, we’ll be at our destination.” Song Yun, fearing that Li Yueyue might fall off during the ride, even tied them together with a rope.
“Let’s go.” Song Yun shouted, and amidst the disdainful looks of bystanders, rode off into the distance.
Because of the motorcycle’s speed, the wind stinging their faces was painful, but Li Yueyue didn’t scream in pain; instead, she held Song Yun even tighter.
Tian Nan City had a famous scenic spot known as Wangfu Cliff.
Every day, around four or five in the morning, standing on this cliff, one could witness the world’s most beautiful sunrise.
Due to the cloudy weather in the previous days, when Song Yun and Li Yueyue reached Wangfu Cliff, the moment Li Yueyue opened her eyes, there was a captivating red glow on the distant sea horizon.
Song Yun propped the motorcycle, pointed at the sunrise, and said with a smile, “The sunrise is one of the rarest beautiful sceneries in the world, but nowadays people wake up late and miss it.”
“It’s so beautiful.” Li Yueyue stared blankly at the rising sun.
As the sun climbed higher, the chill of the night was quickly dispersed.
“Tonight is probably our last ultimatum.
We’ll go home tomorrow, so I thought since you didn’t get much out of coming to Tian Nan with me, I’d bring you to see the sunrise.”
After riding the motorcycle back to the hotel with Li Yueyue, they returned more lively than when they left, Li Yueyue waving her arms and shouting excitedly, almost causing them to crash several times.
“Boss, you’re finally back.
This morning Da Long called us, said he wanted to have a good talk,” Wang Hu seemed to have been waiting outside the hotel door for a long time, rushing over when he saw Song Yun.
“So, what did he say?” Song Yun asked calmly.
“He said he only wants two streets’ market, the rest of the territory would be ours,” Wang Hu said.
“When he said that, I was stunned.
Their strength isn’t that weak to only want two streets.
Boss, do you think he has some kind of trick up his sleeve?”
“Of course.
Even a grade school student could see through that,” Song Yun said displeased.
“But we can use his plan against him.
He said he only wants two streets, we’ll give him exactly that.
When did he say he wants to negotiate?”
“He said at eleven at noon in an abandoned factory to the east of the city.
I sent people to check it out, the area around the factory is quite open, and it’s impossible for us to set up an ambush there.
It’s too visible,” Wang Hu said, rubbing his hands together with a smile.
“Alright, since you’re here so early, you probably haven’t had breakfast yet.
Come have breakfast with me,” Song Yun said, then walked with Li Yueyue to a nearby breakfast stall.
They ordered three bowls of tofu pudding and a dozen fried dough sticks before saying, “Did he specify how many people to bring for the negotiation?”
“No, he just simply said he would bring thirty people and we could bring whoever we want.”
“You handled this situation well.
But what does he really want to negotiate about?
Since he said he only wants two streets, why not just withdraw directly?
What did the Vermilion Bird Disciples you sent report back?” Song Yun asked while sipping his tofu pudding.
“Did they mention any recent activity from Da Long?”
“They did,” Wang Hu responded while eating.
“They said Da Long has been very irritable lately, occasionally lashing out at his subordinates.
Moreover, Xia Tian visited him once.
Apparently, the two of them talked for a long time before coming out, then came the thing about Da Long calling us.”
“This situation is deeply suspicious, but we just don’t know his full plot yet.
Damn it, this kid can’t play any real tricks anyway, let’s just go meet him.”
After finishing the meal, Song Yun spent some time with Li Yueyue in their room until it was almost time, then left to meet up with Wang Hu.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed the Green Dragon Disciples guarding the door to keep an eye on the surroundings to prevent anyone from the Panlong Gang from seizing an opportunity to abduct Li Yueyue.
Five cruisers led the way, followed by a Humvee Meng Ku had specially modified.
Sitting in the car, Song Yun closed his eyes and said, “Meng Ku, how have you been getting along with Xiao Qian lately?”
“Not bad, we even talked on the phone last night,” Meng Ku said shyly.
“Boss, next time you go to Yu Hang, take me with you.
I want to see how crafty those Xiao Family people are.”
“Alright,” Song Yun said, and then began to rest.
He hadn’t slept all night, and although he felt alright, it was still good to rest when possible.
From counting from one to one thousand, Song Yun opened his eyes, rubbed his face, and said, “When we get there later, ‘Meng Ku, you don’t need to follow the main group.
Go check the surroundings for any possible ambush spots.”
Not long after, the convoy arrived at the designated location, and the six vehicles drove directly into the factory.
It was a very open area with almost nowhere to hide people around.
Song Yun surveyed the surroundings, and after confirming there was no ambush, he finally felt a bit relieved.
I really don’t understand what Da Long is playing at, wanting to quit the game yet still insisting on negotiating personally.
This is completely suspicious.
Reaching a spot where they couldn’t drive any further, Song Yun led thirty men on foot inside.
After walking for a while, they saw Da Long standing reluctantly about ten meters ahead, also accompanied by thirty men.
“It’s really been a long time, Boss Song.
I didn’t expect you to have cleared even my proudest route,” Da Long said squinting his eyes.
“We’re both men of the Martial World.
Tell me the truth.
Are you willing to give me a way out?”
“How could I not give you a way out?” Song Yun scoffed.
“Everyone knows you are the mighty Brother Da Long, rich in both money and manpower.
But what made you decide to call me to this desolate place today?”
