"Brother Chen, do you think those people might be from the Money Group or Xingyi’an Company?" Song Yun guessed in the direction Chen Yang preferred. Chen Yang, admiring Song Yun’s knack for understanding, said, "It’s possible. After all, the Money Group is controlled by the Zhou Family from behind the scenes, and the people from Xingyi’an Company are the most petty. You seemed to have disrupted their informants last time in Sunan, probably seeking revenge for that." "Sigh, this truly feels like walking on thin ice!" Song Yun said with a sigh, "I originally thought I could relax for a while!" "Brother Song, you must know that this life we’re living is all about constant worry, especially in the Pearl River Delta where the three major forces divide territories. Everyone wishes they could wipe out their opponents. So, I suggest, Brother Song, that we should strike at those two organizations as soon as possible, round up their leaders early, or drive them out of Guangdong Province. By then, the whole market will be under our control, and life’s bound to be much more carefree!" Chen Yang suggested. "Yeah, I also think it’s time to speed up things." Song Yun said, "However, this will have to wait a bit, at least until I finish up some other business on my side." "Well, that’s up to you, Brother Song. Now that we’re safe and sound, should we continue drinking?" Chen Yang asked. "No." Song Yun shook his head and said, "I’m not in the mood now. I better head back to the hotel." Song Yun made a call to his people in Guangzhou, arranging for a car to pick him up. Shortly after, Song Yun was back at the hotel, where Qingluan had also returned without him noticing. "Long time no see, missed you so much!" Song Yun shamelessly attempted to give Qingluan a warm hug. Qingluan stood there smiling and asked, "Did you have fun tonight?" Song Yun rushed to Qingluan’s side but didn’t actually go for a hug. Instead, he held Qingluan’s hand, shook it, and said, "I was having a good time, but someone set me up. Even though I saw it coming, it’s still annoying." "Oh? What happened?" Qingluan asked. "Here’s the thing!" Song Yun told Qingluan about how Chen Yang set people up to kill him and blame others, then said, "It seems Chen Yang is a bit anxious." "What do you think?" Qingluan asked. "Stall for time." Song Yun said, "We haven’t contacted Zhang Bei yet, and his position is still not high enough, just a small boss in the Evil Dragon Sect. I’m planning to make a move on Xingyi’an Company only when Zhang Bei advances to mid-level. That way, at least there’s someone inside to help us. In a war, an insider can often decide the outcome!" What Song Yun didn’t know was that his words would soon be somewhat validated. Although Zhang Bei couldn’t ultimately decide the final outcome of the war, he had a considerable influence. This is a story for later, so we’ll leave it at that for now. After chatting with Qingluan, the night had fallen. Song Yun asked Qingluan about her activities the previous day. Qingluan gave a brief explanation without much detail. Song Yun didn’t press for more, and they exchanged goodnights before heading to their respective rooms. Meanwhile, on the other side. At the headquarters of the Money Group. Lei Long looked at the few people standing before him with a relaxed expression and asked, "Are you sent by Prince Song?" The leader of the group, a slender man with a buzz cut, said, "Prince Song had us come over to handle some matters and also to strengthen relations with Boss Lei." "Haha, strengthening relations? Doesn’t Prince Song know I’m with the Zhou Family? The Zhou Family has always been at odds with the Song Family! You wouldn’t be here to sabotage me on behalf of the Song Family and Prince Song, would you?" Lei Long asked with a chuckle. "Boss Lei, if our Prince Song really wanted to take action against you, would he need to involve the Song Family?" the buzz-cut man replied. Lei Long’s face tensed, ready to react, but remembering who they were, he restrained his temper. Song Kunlun, although not yet publicly separated from the Song Family, it was evident to everyone that Mr. Song had started targeting Prince Song. The reasons were unclear to Lei Long, but according to the Zhou Family, it presumably had something to do with the previous assassination attempt on Mr. Song. Now, Song Kunlun rarely attends events as a Song Family member. Officially, there’s no public fallout between the Song Family and Song Kunlun, and people like Song Mei Qin and Song Kunhu are still within the Song Family. However, everyone knows, it’s just a matter of time. Official source is novęlfire.net Under such circumstances, offending Song Kunlun would clearly be unwise. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Prince Song, also known as the Prince of Siberia, holds power strong enough to rival any of the Song, Zhao, Li, Tang, or Zhou families. Such a person should only be befriended, not antagonized. So, after hearing the buzz-cut man’s words, Lei Long smiled and said, "Indeed, Prince Song is a remarkable person. By the way, may I have the honor of knowing your name?" "Hou Tianhua, Boss Lei can call me Monkey." the buzz-cut man calmly replied. "Monkey?" Lei Long’s expression changed, then he said, "You are Monkey, one of the twelve Dragon Envoys of the Dragon Sect!" "Hehe, that’s me." Hou Tianhua nodded slightly. Lei Long’s wariness towards the buzz-cut man immediately heightened! The Dragon Sect is structured such that the boss is Song Kunlun, followed by four Dragon Kings responsible for maintaining order. Below them are twelve Dragon Envoys, akin to the Thirteen Grand Protectors from back in the day, a purely violent organization. The members of the twelve Dragon Envoys are each incredibly formidable. It’s said they are all capable of ranking on the Dragon List, with the strongest among them being a world-ranked master, approximately in the top fifty. Monkey ranks fifth among the twelve Dragon Envoys, undoubtedly skilled, but his other strength lies in his intelligence! Among the twelve Dragon Envoys, Monkey is reputed to have the smartest mind. "Didn’t expect you to be Monkey." Lei Long chuckled and said, "Then I can’t really accept being called Boss Lei." "No worries." Monkey chuckled and said, "That’s just a title. Prince Song sent me here mainly to ask you about how to deal with Song Yun?"
