Return of the King, Dominating the City
Chapter 33 - 33 32 The Eventful Autumn

33: Chapter 32 The Eventful Autumn 33: Chapter 32 The Eventful Autumn Song Yun had intended to go by himself, but after Old Luo heard that Song Yun wasn’t coming back for dinner that evening, he insisted on having him bring that little girl Li Shishi along, saying young people should connect more and develop their feelings for each other.

If Song Yun hadn’t known that Li Shishi had a dear grandfather, he would have thought she was Old Luo’s granddaughter.

Left with no choice, Song Yun gave Li Shishi a call.

He initially thought that the little girl, with her personality, would definitely refuse, but surprisingly, not only did Li Shishi agree immediately, but she also asked where Song Yun was at that moment so she could come and pick him up.

Old Luo seemed as if he had heard Li Shishi’s words on the phone.

He looked at Song Yun with a gratified expression of an elder, as satisfied as one could possibly be.

Old Luo left first, still needing to go back to discuss with Mr.

Li the competition taking place in a couple of days.

As for Song Yun, he had no choice but to squat at the nightclub entrance, idly killing time by smoking.

“Hey, you, the beggar squatting over there, get in the car.” Suddenly, a Bentley pulled up not far away, and with the car window rolling down, Li Shishi’s face appeared, shouting at Song Yun.

This left the nightclub’s security guards and the ducks trying to solicit business dumbfounded.

How could such a pretty and wealthy girl call over an ordinary guy who had been squatting at the entrance, smoking ten yuan cigarettes, to get in her car?

Especially the male prostitutes, each stared at Li Shishi, stunned.

How could such a pretty girl take a fancy to this man?

Even if they had to pay to spend a night with her, they would do it.

What could she possibly see in him?

Even though Song Yun had thick skin, he couldn’t handle the gazes of so many male compatriots who seemed to want to throttle him.

He had no choice but to beat a hasty retreat and hurriedly get into the car.

“What shall we eat tonight?” Li Shishi sat upright in the seat like a proper lady.

“Let’s go to a hot pot restaurant at the end of East City Road,” Song Yun didn’t pay attention to Li Shishi.

He told the driver the address and then closed his eyes to rest.

“Oh, East City Road?

It’s been a long time since I’ve been there.

Such a remote place has good food?” Li Shishi asked suspiciously.

“It’s also one of my strongholds in Sunan.

Today I’m treating two of my brothers to welcome them, so picking that spot is perfect.”

“What place is this mysterious?

A stronghold in Sunan?

Could it be that these strongholds are all over the country?”

“Yeah, indeed, this stronghold is a gathering place for an organization.

It’s usually just a place for business, but underneath, there are indeed illegal deals going on,” Song Yun said with a smile.

“Miss Li Shishi, anything else you want to ask?

If not, may I please shut my eyes and think for a bit?”

“Tsk, as if you have anything to think about.

Your mind is probably full of sleazy thoughts,” Li Shishi said disdainfully, but she didn’t disturb Song Yun and kept looking out the window at the scenery.

When they reached the end of East City Road, Song Yun and Li Shishi approached a nondescript little hot pot restaurant.

The secluded restaurant was surprisingly packed with people.

After looking around with Li Shishi, they found there were no seats available.

Song Yun had no choice but to say to the waiter, “Is Xie Xing here?

Tell him to come see me.”

The waiter looked at him unpleasantly.

The usual practice for those who came to find the boss here was to sneak around secretly, but this guy was yelling his name out loud right from the start.

Although puzzled, the waiter went inside to look for the person in charge.

“Who are you, and what do you want with our boss?” The moment he heard this, Song Yun felt unhappy.

I’m asking for your boss, and you send me a lackey?

“I’m looking for your boss.

Tell him to come out and see me,” Song Yun’s tone was already a bit heated.

Recently, he had been led by the nose every day, and Song Yun had been holding back his anger without any outlet.

Today, seeing this person in charge acting all high and mighty, Song Yun really wanted to kick him.

“I’m talking to you.

Who are you, and what do you want with our boss?”

Song Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, “I’m a friend of your boss.

Tell him to come out and see me.”

“Song Yun, why don’t we go somewhere else to eat?” Li Shishi pulled on Song Yun’s sleeve and whispered.

It was obvious that she was still a bit worried about him, especially after the frightening scene of him fainting in the yard a couple of days ago.

“We’ll eat here today; don’t worry, their boss is indeed my friend.”

Seeing the guy still wanted to mess around, Song Yun couldn’t contain the anger in his chest anymore; in a fit of rage, he slapped the table in front of him, breaking it into two halves.

The man saw this and thought, what the hell?

This must be someone looking to smash up the place.

He took out a button from his pocket and pressed it.

In no time, a dozen young lads with sticks and cleavers rushed out from an inner room.

The one with dyed yellow hair respectfully passed a cigarette to the man in charge and lit it for him, saying, “Brother Five, who’s the blind fool making trouble in our spot?

Let little Huang take care of him.”

The man known as Brother Five glanced at the diners with an apologetic tone, “Sorry everyone, got some matters to settle here.

I’ll cover your meal today, but we need to clear out, so I hope you’ll leave quickly.

I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt from the action.”

The customers, realizing Brother Five was serious, scattered faster than anyone.

Song Yun picked up a chair, looked on coldly at everything unfolding before him, and casually took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoking as if he had no involvement in the affair.

Brother Five, seeing his relaxed demeanor, blew his top and berated Song Yun, “Young man, if you leave now, I assure you that not a hair on your head will be touched.

Otherwise, I can’t guarantee you’ll leave in one piece.”

Song Yun stood up, loosened his muscles—having not fought in a long time, his body creaked and popped—”Young man?

Heh, if you were to figure out our seniority, your boss would have to call me elder master uncle, how laughable.

If you’re going to fight, stop talking and come at me.”

Little Huang Mao was Brother Five’s right-hand man, and upon hearing Song Yun insult Brother Five, he was the first to charge with a knife, slashing straight at Song Yun’s face.

Seeing Song Yun motionless, Huang Mao sneered contemptuously, thinking I’ll chop you dead, fool.

Brother Five will surely reward me, and that little bitch behind you will be mine to play with.

Seeing Huang Mao’s lewd smirk and the way his eyes occasionally glanced at Li Shishi, Song Yun knew exactly what he was thinking.

What’s wrong with men nowadays, all brains driven by lust?

Daring to have designs on anyone, if I don’t beat this bastard to hospitalization today, I’ll write my name Song backwards.

He shifted back slightly, letting Huang Mao swing at air, and due to inertia, Huang Mao fell into Song Yun’s embrace.

Having practiced Baji Fist with the old man since he was a child, seeing Huang Mao barge into his arms, Song Yun used a shoulder throw to send Huang Mao flying.

Huang Mao, who had been fantasizing seconds ago about the beauty begging beneath him, felt like he had been hit by a car as he went flying through the air.
