Chapter 1137: Chapter 1138 It Seems Impossible

“Song Xiaodong, just you wait. I’ll make sure you understand how grave the consequences of your actions will be!”

Lian Qianqiu spat out his harsh words and slinked away with his men.

Given the current situation, even if they fought again, the Lian Family would gain little. Moreover, after Song Xiaodong’s sneaky move, he felt quite insecure and didn’t have the mind to persist here, so he decisively chose to leave.

He believed that with the Lian Family’s power, there were plenty of ways to make Song Xiaodong bow to him, so there was no need to force a situation like this, which was thankless and exhausting.

However, one couldn’t deny it was quite embarrassing for the Lian Family to leave like this. The Su Family let them barge in, and everyone was harboring anger about it.

“So this is the Lian Family? Nothing impressive.”

“Exactly, coming to our Su Family to show off, you need to have the strength first.”

“Hurry up and scram, and make sure to hold onto your balls so they don’t drop.”

“Ha…”

Listening to the ridicule from the Su family guards, the Lian Family members felt their faces burning. These guards really wanted to fight the Su Family again, even if it meant dying in battle rather than being ridiculed like this.

But Lian Qianqiu completely dismissed such thoughts, quickening his pace with a grim face, leaving the guards with no choice but to follow him, truly resembling a defeated army.

Song Xiaodong didn’t stop the guards from making noise; instead, he used their words to humiliate the Lian Family. Song Xiaodong didn’t bully others, but if someone tried to bully him, he would retaliate without mercy.

Xu Hao said, somewhat frustrated, “Family Head, why didn’t we keep them here? I haven’t had my fill of fighting yet.”

Xu Hao’s relationship with Song Xiaodong was different from the Su family guards, but here at the Su Family, he referred to him in the same way to avoid any objections from the other guards.

Recently, his skills had improved significantly, mainly from sparring with masters like Su Zhentian and Dragon Six, but the pills Song Xiaodong gave him had limited effect. This was probably because of the difference in True Qi, and the effect of this kind of medicine varied as well.

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, “It’s too difficult to keep them. These people are really strong. If we forcibly kept them, our Su Family would also pay a great price.”

Su Zhentian also nodded and said, “That’s right, these people’s strength is significantly stronger than families like the Zhou Family. This time it was just an important person from the Lian Family leading them. If the Lian Family Head came in person, we would have a real problem on our hands.”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “There’s no need to worry about that. The Lian Family wouldn’t dare to come after the Su Family so publicly. The repercussions would be too great. Bringing so many people this time is already the most they can do; otherwise, the authorities wouldn’t approve.”

Sun Yiyi then said, “What if they resort to underhanded tactics, like doing something through official channels?”

Song Xiaodong’s gaze turned cold, “If they want to do that, then let them try.”

Everyone in the Su Family was suddenly at a loss. Their highest-ranking officials were only provincial-level, and they couldn’t touch top-level officials like the governor or vice-governor. In contrast, big families like the Lian Family all had officials at the provincial and ministerial levels.

If they struck in this area, many of the Su Family’s foundational elements would be ruined.

Song Xiaodong didn’t offer much explanation. What he’s mainly doing is cutting off various families’ influence on the government. It’s not a problem for big families to do business and make money; in fact, it’s very much encouraged, but using the government to seek benefits for the family is not something the authorities favor.

But, of course, Song Xiaodong couldn’t personally carry these things out, like forcing Su Family’s officials to quit or ejecting them from the Su Family.

If someone else wants to do it, he wouldn’t stop them and might even use it as an opportunity to retaliate.

Of course, Song Xiaodong couldn’t directly allow the Su Family’s government power to be wiped out completely; otherwise, their current strength would be greatly affected. To affect the atmosphere among domestic families, he must first have the strength to challenge them.

The Su Family didn’t think much about Song Xiaodong’s lack of explanation. They had great trust in Song Xiaodong as their Family Head. Song Xiaodong had already brought much honor and benefits to the Su Family, something every family member could feel.

After Lian Qianqiu left the Su Family, he immediately went to the hotel and knocked on Lian Qiang’s room, only to find two pretty girls inside, dressed rather scantily, yet still in clothes.

“Dad, you’re back so soon? Is it all sorted out? What about that bastard? Did you kill him? Did you capture his woman?” Lian Qiang asked excitedly, speaking unclearly without his teeth.

Lian Qianqiu, with a stern face, said, “All you think about is women. Are these two yours?”

Lian Qiang was momentarily startled, “Not yet, I just called them over.”

“Then go play.” Lian Qianqiu waved him off.

“Dad, these girls can wait, but this time…”

Lian Qianqiu glared at him sharply, “Cut the crap and go play.”

Seeing his father angry, Lian Qiang felt baffled, “Dad, I know you went to handle business, but I just called some girls…”

“I told you to go play now, didn’t you hear me? Immediately! Fool.” Lian Qianqiu stormed out, slamming the door.

Lian Qiang was even more puzzled but, after hesitating, still took the girls into the bedroom.

Lian Qianqiu paced outside the room for over ten minutes, then started knocking on the door. Lian Qiang quickly came to open it, hastily dressed.

“How was it?” Lian Qianqiu fixed his eyes on his son.

“Dad… how was what?” Lian Qiang nervously asked.

“I’m asking if you work well!” Lian Qianqiu’s face grew darker.

“Yes… yes…” Lian Qiang stuttered.

“Oh, well then, continue. I’ll breathe easy now; Song Xiaodong scared me stiff a moment ago.”

“Actually… I was a bit nervous and didn’t succeed,” Lian Qiang said, even more embarrassed.

“Damn! You mean you didn’t succeed earlier?” Lian Qianqiu’s heart sank, he took a deep breath, “Well, go back and try again. Don’t be nervous; have fun however you like. I won’t come back, and you can come find me once you’re done.”
