Chapter 903: Chapter 892: Estrangement Tactic

Song Yun held Xu Ying in his arms and slept the whole night. His mind was constantly wavering between doing certain things or not doing them. Caught up in this indecision, the night passed. The next day, after taking a shower, Song Yun decisively decided to take Xu Ying back to the military district. If this went on any longer, it would be a test of his own will, and flirting with a young lady like this wasn’t proper.

After sending Xu Ying back to the compound, Song Yun went straight back to the Song Family. On the way, Song Yun received a call from Tang Hunshi.

“Coyote already confessed; it was Song Kunhu who instructed him to do it!” On the other end of the phone, Tang Hunshi’s voice was very grim. Song Yun could feel the killing intent that couldn’t be suppressed.

“Haha, I knew it, there’s no such thing as coincidences. You, be a little smarter. Do you really think those who call you brother are truly your good brothers? How many people have used you as a pawn? Think about it, all these years, how many things have you done because your so-called good brothers asked you to? Why did they ask you to do them? Because only one person needs to take the fall for such messes, and since you’re already the Demon Lord of Mayhem, if you don’t handle these disreputable things, who will? They’re people who cherish their own reputations. Your reputation is already so notorious; a bit more damage doesn’t matter.” Song Yun said, with a strange smile on his face.

“Bastard! Bastard!!! How dare they take me for a fool!” Tang Hunshi’s voice was trembling with rage. “Song Kunhu, oh Song Kunhu, I’ve treated you like a brother, and you actually did this to me! And Li Xu, Zhao Wangquan, Zhou Guang, damn it, I used to treat them as brothers too, but they all used me as a tool! Damn it!!” Tang Hunshi cursed.

“Poor child,” Song Yun remarked with sympathy, “but now, even if you know they’ve used you as a pawn, what then? Do you think you can outplay them? There are three of them and only one of you. I advise you to act as if nothing happened and carry on as before. Otherwise, if those three isolate you, your life will be pretty dull!”

“This matter won’t just end like this. Song Kunhu wanted my life, and I won’t let him off! Song Yun, I, Tang Hunshi, declare here today, you saved me last night, and I’m grateful. If there were any past conflicts between us, I hope you would let bygones be bygones. From today forward, I won’t trouble you anymore, and since you saved my life once, I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just come to me!” Tang Hunshi stated.

“I don’t need it,” Song Yun said, abruptly hanging up. Then, his face broke into a broad smile, “Zhao Wangquan, Li Xu, and Zhou Guang, haha, your weapon is now in my hands!”

Song Yun had already thought of a question when he first arrived in Beijing: how to deal with the so-called Four Young Masters of Beijing.

These Four Young Masters of Beijing are known as such largely because they stick together. Back then, the Song Family suffered due to being suppressed by the alliance of the four major families. So how should Song Yun act to avoid losing to the Four Young Masters? In fact, it’s very simple. From ancient times to now, the easiest way to deal with any alliance is to dismantle it from within, which is called sowing discord.

And among these four, Li Xu and Song Yun were almost sworn enemies; Zhao Wangquan was in a similar situation. As for Zhou Guang, after Song Yun took care of Wang Billion last time, there wasn’t much wiggle room left with the Zhou Family. That only left Tang Hunshi, with whom Song Yun had little interaction.

Upon first encountering Tang Hunshi, Song Yun reaffirmed his initial thoughts: to break Tang Hunshi away!

Tang Hunshi was the Demon Lord of Mayhem and was no stranger to bullying and coercing, but Song Yun felt it wasn’t much of his concern since he wasn’t some zealot worrying about what others did. What’s key was to separate Tang Hunshi from the Four Young Masters, that was the right path! And because Tang Hunshi was somewhat simple-minded, it further strengthened Song Yun’s resolve!

Of course, Song Yun prepared two options. One was to sow discord with Tang Hunshi, and if successful, great. If not, he would resort to the second method: directly fighting!

When dealing with someone like Tang Hunshi, who mingles in society, using tricks is pointless. The real way is to beat him until he’s afraid; only then will he know not to mess with you!

Initially, when Song Yun fought Tang Hunshi in KFC, it was with this idea in mind. But later, things took an unexpected turn, and Song Kunhu handed him a perfect opportunity, which would have been a waste not to utilize.

That’s why Song Yun later saved Tang Hunshi and said those things to him.

It all sounded complicated, but it was actually quite simple: Song Yun badmouthed the others behind their backs to create distrust in Tang Hunshi, thereby achieving the aim of splitting the Four Young Masters.

Earlier, when Tang Hunshi called, it was clear that Song Yun’s plan had succeeded.

Of course, Tang Hunshi could be pretending, but Song Yun believed that for someone like Tang Hunshi, once you deceive him, don’t expect to use him a second time. He’s the kind who would demand you pay with your life with just a light touch. The title of Demon Lord of Mayhem was not given lightly.

At least, between Song Kunhu and Tang Hunshi, there’s no possibility of reconciliation anymore. As for the three others mentioned by Tang Hunshi earlier, that was a bonus surprise that Song Yun hadn’t anticipated. He didn’t expect it could be so easy for Tang Hunshi to split from them.

Thinking about it made Song Yun laugh. Tang Hunshi’s final statement about owing Song Yun a life and finding a chance to repay him was like a gesture of goodwill from Tang Hunshi and an intention to join Song Yun’s camp. How could that not please Song Yun?

Every organization needs a weapon. In the Shura Alliance, Jue Wu, Black Flood Dragon, and Meng Ku are such weapons, responsible for handling shady dealings. In Beijing, Song Yun had nothing and was quite constrained. Now, to have a weapon delivered to him felt like rain after a long drought.

On the way home, Song Yun thought about the upcoming matters. It’s been nearly a week since his father went to the Jiang Region, and if nothing goes wrong, he should be back soon. Once he returns and if all goes well, the other branch with Song Mei Qin will have nothing to say. When he successfully enters the Song Family genealogy, it will be Song Yun’s time to shine!

Everything is going so smoothly! Song Yun couldn’t help but feel moved. When he first arrived in Beijing, he endured so many grievances—Song Mei Qin, the Four Young Masters, Zhao Min, all of them. But now, after staying in Beijing for a while, Song Yun realized that everything was just an illusion. No matter how much they dance around, as long as he maintains his current stance, nothing can trouble him!

Upon returning home, Song Yun didn’t say much to the people at the Song Residence but headed straight to his room. He felt somewhat guilty for Qingluan as he hadn’t come home to sleep the night before.

The door to his room was ajar, suggesting that Qingluan might be inside. Taking a deep breath at the entrance, Song Yun tidied himself up and then pushed the door open to enter.

As soon as he stepped in, Song Yun ran into a woman.

This woman, neither Qingluan nor his mother, was actually Song Luoshen.

“What are you doing here?” Song Yun looked at Song Luoshen in surprise. A trace of shock and panic flashed across Song Luoshen’s face before settling back to her usual expression. The change was so quick that even Song Yun barely noticed it.

“I came to see you, cousin.” Song Luoshen replied with a charming smile, “You weren’t home yesterday, so I was curious and came over to check. When I got here, sister-in-law wasn’t here either. I waited for a bit, but since no one was around, I thought of leaving. Just as I reached the door, I ran into you. Quite the coincidence, isn’t it?”

“Haha, quite the coincidence indeed!” Although suspicious, Song Yun didn’t notice any flaws and could only say, “So, what business do you have?”

“Nothing really, hehe, since you’re back, cousin, I’ll stay a bit longer.” Song Luoshen said, turning back into the room.

Song Yun fully opened the door and then entered as well.

“Aren’t you going out?” Song Yun asked, sitting on the sofa and looking at Song Luoshen.

“I don’t feel like going out today. Sigh, my back is sore, don’t know why.” Song Luoshen twisted her neck, saying, “Cousin, I heard you’re good at martial arts. Do you know how to massage? Can you give me one?”

Song Yun raised an eyebrow and then said playfully, “How should I do that?”

“Massage, don’t you know, cousin?” Song Luoshen asked with wide eyes, “It’s to help relax my muscles! You’re strong, and since you practice martial arts, you must know about acupuncture points and all that. Just give me a massage to help me relax, okay?”
