Chapter 899: Chapter 888: Taking the Blame

“Fuck!” Song Yun finally understood, this guy’s target was actually Tang Hunshi!

The punch he landed on the guy’s hand was powerful, but not powerful enough to make an expert at Coyote’s level drop his knife. And the key point is, bro, I was hitting your hand this way, but your knife flew that way. That’s just impossible!

Song Yun instantly grasped Coyote’s intention. If this knife could take out Tang Hunshi, then Song Yun would be implicated no matter what!

Because the knife was knocked away by Song Yun, you might say it was an accident, but who knows, right? Maybe you seized this opportunity to deliberately knock Coyote’s knife out, and it just happened to fly towards Tang Hunshi and stab him to death.

This way, you could clear your name a bit. It’s clearly killing with a borrowed knife! If Tang Hunshi died, Song Yun would be in deep trouble. First of all, the Tang Family would definitely not let Song Yun go; you tell them it wasn’t me who killed him, it was Coyote. Who would believe that? Coyote was on Tang Hunshi’s side. How could he just kill Tang Hunshi for no reason?

Of course, Song Yun wasn’t necessarily afraid of the Tang Family. Among the five great families in Beijing, the Tang Family ranks lower. So even if the Tang Family wouldn’t let Song Yun go, he didn’t care. It’s not like they can really kill him. If they dared to mess around, he’d just drop by the Tang Family for a visit. But the Tang Family isn’t what’s scary; it’s those old leaders who care for Tang Hunshi that are really frightening! It would be a disaster!

As mentioned before, Tang Hunshi’s parents sacrificed themselves for the country, working alongside those old leaders. Because of Tang Hunshi’s parents, the old leaders doted on Tang Hunshi. If Tang Hunshi really got stabbed to death, those old leaders certainly wouldn’t be pleased.

Even though the Song Family is the head of the five great families domestically, it’s not a country where you have the final say. No matter how badass your family is, if the leaders don’t like you, you’ll still be suppressed to the end.

Although those leaders have retired, under Shen Zhou’s system, every new leader appointed is designated by the previous one. This means the current leaders have a good relationship with their predecessors. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been supported into their positions. If all those old leaders speak up, even Mr. Song wouldn’t be able to protect Song Yun. The only result would be being expelled from the Song Family, and even his parents might suffer!

Of course, Mr. Song could forcibly protect Song Yun’s family, but that would put the Song Family in a dangerous position. Mr. Song would never risk the Song Family’s interests over personal matters!

The only outcome would really be a tragedy for Song Yun.

Even though all these thoughts were in play, Song Yun realized them all in an instant!

Tang Hunshi cannot die!

This was the only thought in Song Yun’s mind at that moment, and his body reacted accordingly.

Song Yun’s arm suddenly tensed.

Inch strength.

Bam.

The Coyote, who was initially blocked by Song Yun, flew out like a kite with a broken string. Song Yun’s body moved, rushing towards Tang Hunshi.

At this moment, Tang Hunshi just stood there with his mouth agape in shock. He couldn’t believe the knife was flying towards him, and at such a speed that he barely had time to react.

If Song Yun and Tang Hunshi swapped places, Song Yun could easily dodge the knife. But unfortunately, Tang Hunshi was just a man whose body was worn out by indulgence, and his reactions were slower than the average person.

Watching as the knife aimed directly at his neck, Tang Hunshi’s eyes filled with terror.

In that instant, Tang Hunshi remembered his now blurry memories of his parents, the people who died at his hand, and those he’d tortured almost to death.

He always thought the look in a person’s eyes right before they died was fascinating, usually with fear of death, yearning for life, unwillingness to die, and much more. Every time he saw that look, Tang Hunshi felt an inexplicable thrill. His favorite moment was when a person’s eyes turned void the instant they died; it gave Tang Hunshi a god-like feeling.

And today, as Tang Hunshi watched the knife fly towards him, he suddenly realized he was just an ordinary person. In the face of death, he would feel fear, he would be scared, he would think of the past, and he would feel unwillingness.

Tang Hunshi’s body trembled slightly. The knife was less than a meter away and moving fast. It would likely pierce his neck in less than a fraction of a second, and no one around could save him before the knife reached him.

Maybe dying like this is also a form of relief.

That’s what Tang Hunshi thought. He didn’t want to be a bad person, but lacking parental guidance, coupled with the doting of elders and the bullying he faced in school, distorted Tang Hunshi’s personality.

In that moment, Tang Hunshi felt a tinge of regret.

Shhhp.

Just then, a faint sound came from in front of Tang Hunshi.

Why didn’t he feel any pain? Does a person not feel pain when facing death? Tang Hunshi opened his eyes in confusion and saw a thin man standing in front of him, with one hand extended forward, holding a knife.

Song Yun!

Tang Hunshi never imagined Song Yun would be in front of him, saving him. Wasn’t it Song Yun who purposely knocked the knife towards him?

Tang Hunshi was filled with confusion.

Song Yun threw the knife to the side and glanced at Tang Hunshi, saying, “You idiot, wasting my time.”

“You…” Tang Hunshi was about to curse him out but suddenly remembered that this man just saved his life, so he swallowed his words.

Song Yun had been ready to punch Tang Hunshi if he started swearing but was surprised when Tang Hunshi held back. Without paying further attention to him, Song Yun quickly charged at Coyote, who was trying to escape!

“Run, you bastard, almost made me take the fall. Do you think you can escape?” Song Yun unleashed his full speed and appeared instantly behind Coyote.

Then, Song Yun punched! One punch!
