Chapter 145 - The Wrath of the Songs
Explore the latest events in "The Strongest Dandy in the City" Chapter 145: The Family Head of the Songs in Capital City is named Song Yigang, and this...
The Family Head of the Songs in Capital City is named Song Yigang, and this year he has reached the venerable age of sixty-eight.However, he still wields real power in the state, no less influential than the elder of the Ye family.
At the moment, the study of the Song family patriarch was silent.
Standing in front of him were two men and a woman, who didnât even dare to take a deep breath in his presence.
Among them, a middle-aged man and a woman were Song Zhongâs father, Song Gui, and his mother, Hu Lu.
The other man, who was in his late twenties and named Song Bin, was Song Zhongâs biological older brother.
Old Master Song Yigang had a total of three sons, with Song Gui standing before him as his eldest.
The old manâs face was grim, and his cloudy eyes were filled with anger.
Song Zhong had gone to the border trading market with a middle-aged chubby man, and he hadnât informed a single person beforehand.
It wasnât until yesterday that Old Master Song learned of this and called Song Zhong. Ná´w novel chapters are publÉŞshed on É´ová´l_Firá´.É´et
As a direct descendant of the Songs, how could he only concern himself with indulging in pleasures?
This time Old Master Song was ready to thoroughly discipline his grandson, but to his outrage, the call went straight to voicemail.
What followed, however, far exceeded his expectations.
As a high-ranking official of Huaxia Country, it was very easy for him to ask subordinates to handle matters, so he made a direct call to a city near the border.
After receiving the call from Old Master Song, the mayor didnât hesitate to take on the task, as he knew that forming connections with the influential Song family of Capital City might not only boost his own career but could possibly lead to a direct transfer to the capital.
Thus, the mayor quickly set out for the border trading market with a team of armed police.
After some investigation, they confirmed Song Zhong had been there, but now they couldnât find him.
Upon checking the hotel surveillance footage, Song Zhong and the middle-aged chubby man were seen entering their room last night and never came out again.
No one else went in during that time.
It was bizarreâhad Song Zhong and the middle-aged man vanished into thin air?
After another thorough search of the border trading market, they still found nothing.
The mayor was now anxious, fearing that failing to handle the situation would provoke the wrath of Commander Song.
Forget about rising in ranksâif he could even keep his position as mayor was now in question!
After much hesitation, the mayor still reported everything to Song Yigang in detail.
Song Yigang was a shrewd character.
His grandson disappearing into thin air in a hotel?
If it were for the common people, they might believe in ghosts, but Old Master Song did not believe such things existed in the world.
The only answer was that something had happened to his grandson, Song Zhong.
After so much time and not a single call to the Songs, it was deducible that this was not a mere kidnapping.
It was highly likelyâninety percent or moreâthat his grandson, Song Zhong, was already dead.
Old Master Song, sitting in his chair, suddenly clenched his withered hands.
Looking at Song Gui and Hu Lu with burning eyes, he rebuked, âI always told you not to spoil that little bastard, now are you satisfied?!â
Hearing the reprimand, Hu Lu, who had been keeping her head down, quickly asked, âDad, what exactly has happened to Xiao Zhong?â
âYeah!
Dad, if he has upset you, I will definitely discipline him properly when he returns,â Song Gui quickly agreed.
Since they had entered the study, Old Master Song had not said a word, only maintaining a stern expression.
They didnât dare to ask too much, for Old Master Song held absolute authority in the Song family.
It could be said that Old Master Song was a banner of the Songsâif he were to fall, the Song family would exist in name only.
Just like when the old Mr.
Ye pretended to be seriously ill, didnât the Ye family still become a case of a fallen wall being pushed down by everyone overnight?
Old Mr.
Song took a light breath and laughed at himself, saying, âIf he could come back, things would be easier to handle, but Iâm afraid you all might never see him again in your lifetimes.â
âDad, what, what are you saying?
Why would we never see Xiao Zhong again in our lifetimes?â Hu Lu asked excitedly.
Old Mr.
Song recounted everything he knew and suspected, and finally sighed, âAlthough Xiao Zhongâs body hasnât been found, itâs almost certain that he isâŚâ
Old Mr.
Song also felt deep sorrow in his heart.
No matter how disappointing Song Zhong was, he was still the grandson of Song Yigang!
His cloudy eyes emitted a sharp gleam, and he said to himself in a low voice, âI better not find out who the murderer is because my family absolutely will not let this go.â
âNo, no, it canât be, Xiao Zhong canât be in trouble, Xiao Zhong canât be in trouble,â Hu Lu started sobbing.
She didnât think clearly about how, if it hadnât been for her overwhelming love and indulgence of Song Zhong from a young age, even to the extent of covering up his crimes, the family wouldnât have ended up in this situation today!
âDad, who exactly is targeting our Song family?
We must investigate this matter thoroughly!â Song Gui, at least being a man, didnât whimper and wail like Hu Lu.
âExactly, Grandpa, I must avenge Xiao Zhong.â Song Bin, who had been quiet until now, spoke; he had always been very close to his brother Song Zhong.
âThe border trade market is full of chaos, and moreover, Xiao Zhong disappeared into thin air from his room.
The surveillance cameras didnât capture any useful footage.
I really have no clue about this matter!â Old Mr.
Song sighed.
âDad, why donât we ask them for help?
I think with their abilities they must have a way.
Plus, whoever made Xiao Zhong disappear from his room without a trace is certainly no ordinary person,â Song Gui suggested cautiously.
âYou think theyâd listen to me?
At best, our Song family is just a pawn they use in the mortal world.
We should investigate this matter on our own!â Old Mr.
Song waved his hand, signaling that Song Gui and the others could leave.
Song Gui wanted to say more, but seeing the old man close his eyes, he could only help the sobbing Hu Lu leave the study, with Song Bin following close behind.
After Song Gui and the others had left the study, Old Mr.
Song opened his eyes again and murmured, âWho exactly is striking at our Song family?â
âYou donât need to think too much about it.
With all sorts of people mingling in the border trade market, perhaps your good-for-nothing grandson was simply killed.
Itâs a possibility,â said a dark figure that had appeared in the study at some point, dressed in a pitch-black robe, with his entire face hidden under a hood, making it impossible to discern his features.
Song Yigang, upon the appearance of the man in black, did not show any surprise, and said indifferently, âRight now, our Song family is still considered an important piece in your hands.
Arenât you going to help me investigate?â
âTo be honest, your good-for-nothing grandson seemed to me merely a waste.
His death has no impact on your family; but you are right, after all, your Song family is our dog, and even when you beat a dog, you must look at its master.
Iâll have someone deal with this matter.
As for whether theyâll find anything, I canât be sure,â the man in black said arrogantly.
If people in Capital City heard someone daring to compare the Song family to a dog, they would likely be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws.
Song Yigangâs face maintained a strained smile, but it was not difficult to see the suppressed anger in his murky eyes.
