Chapter 660: Chapter 661: Begin to Fight Back

Song Xiaodong came back home that evening, Lin Su’er had just finished cooking dinner, and everyone sat down to eat together.

However, the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy. Song Xiaodong’s face was devoid of any smile, and he seemed to carry an added authority that frightened Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling a bit.

Even Lin Shu felt as if dining with Song Xiaodong was like eating with a father, hardly daring to breathe.

This irked Lin Shu. Why should she be afraid of him, after all he had done to her?

After dinner, Song Xiaodong returned to Song Xiaoru’s room upstairs, where he had been staying with Lin Su’er for the past few days.

A while later, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Shu slipped in.

Song Xiaodong closed his laptop and turned to ask, "What is it?"

Lin Shu glared and said, "Hey, uncle, your attitude towards me isn’t very nice. Are you just going to wipe your mouth clean after eating and deny everything?"

Song Xiaodong spoke indifferently, "Wipe my mouth clean? I haven’t done anything to you, have I?"

"Hey, hey! Are you serious? The first time, you touched me, and that day I even gave you my first kiss. With your attitude now, are you even still a man?"

"Oh, is that so? So, you want me to take responsibility?" Song Xiaodong asked indifferently.

Song Xiaodong’s calm demeanor only annoyed Lin Shu more. She looked up and said, "That’s right, I want you to take responsibility."

Song Xiaodong looked at Lin Shu, nodded, and said, "Fine, I’ll take responsibility. From now on, you are my woman. You’ll stay here tonight."

"What?" Lin Shu’s eyes widened in shock, her mouth agape.

Song Xiaodong remained silent, just quietly watching her.

After a long moment, Lin Shu burst out angrily, "You... you’re shameless, saying you’ll take responsibility and then suggesting I sleep with you. What kind of responsibility is that? You just want to take advantage of me, right?"

"The woman I take responsibility for must sleep with me. If you don’t agree, then forget it." After saying this, Song Xiaodong lit a cigarette, turned, and went to the balcony, no longer looking at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu’s mouth twitched, feeling humiliated and angry, she stomped over to Song Xiaodong and said, "Hey, are you even a man? Even if you take responsibility, shouldn’t you woo me first?"

Song Xiaodong said indifferently, "Woo you? I don’t have time for that now. If you agree, stay; if not, leave."

"You... ah, you’re infuriating, you’re just bullying me, ah!" Lin Shu stomped her foot and yelled.

Song Xiaodong placed his hand on Lin Shu’s head, and she immediately froze, staring nervously at him.

"You are a nice girl, brave and enthusiastic, but too impulsive in your actions, which will lead to loss, just like now. You’re being emotional. In life, we must make many choices, but one wrong choice can ruin your entire life."

Lin Shu stared blankly at Song Xiaodong and after a while pouted, "I don’t need you to preach to me."

"Go to sleep; I have things to do and can’t keep up with your antics."

"Oh..." Lin Shu subconsciously nodded, then silently walked out of Song Xiaodong’s room, somewhat dazed as she made her way downstairs.

"Xiao Shu, what’s wrong?" Zhong Chuling immediately asked worriedly.

Lin Shu turned to Zhong Chuling and said, "Xiao Ling, I suddenly realize that the uncle is actually quite likable. I think I’m falling for him."

Zhong Chuling jolted, replying, "Stop joking around. Uncle has a girlfriend."

"Ah, right, and she’s so beautiful too. It seems I stand no chance. Oh my, this is the first time I’ve liked someone, and they’re already taken. It’s really heartbreaking."

Lin Su’er, watching the two from behind, couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile. She didn’t get angry when other girls liked Song Xiaodong; instead, she felt a bit proud. Xiaodong was just so likable to women, but they could only silently adore him while she was his lover.

As an important figure of the second generation of the Sun family, Sun Tongyun, although not as outstanding as some of his older brothers, also held considerable influence in the Su Family.

He was now a deputy bureau chief and was soon expected to be promoted to bureau chief level, which would further elevate his status within the Sun family.

Today, he was leisurely reading the newspaper and drinking tea in his office when suddenly a group of people barged in.

Sun Tongyun frowned immediately, irritated by their rudeness, asking, "What is this about?"

One of them quickly produced a piece of paper, offering it to Sun Tongyun, "We are from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. We need you to come with us for a cooperative investigation."

"Investigation? What investigation?" Sun Tongyun’s expression darkened as he asked, "Who sent you?"

The man spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We are the Eighth Working Group of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Please cooperate with our investigation."

"The Eighth Working Group of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection..." Sun Tongyun broke out in a sweat, but quickly steadied himself, nodded, and said, "Alright, I’ll cooperate with your investigation."

However, he wasn’t very worried because the Sun family was vast and complex in its connections; who could touch him?

But Sun Tongyun was soon stunned. The evidence the working group brought was extensively incriminating, covering multiple areas including bribery, corruption, and even keeping a mistress; they had it all.

This meant that they had been investigating him for a long time, and this time, he was in serious trouble.

All Sun Tongyun could do was to deny everything; he was waiting, waiting for the Lu family to protect him. He still had great confidence in the Sun family’s ability to handle things, even against the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The Sun family was indeed making efforts, initially confident, but one by one, the people they approached refused them, which unnerved them.

Through a connection, the Patriarch of the Sun Family reached out to a very influential person. After the phone connected, he said, "Is someone targeting our Sun family?"

"There’s no such intention from above, but with all the evidence provided by the whistleblower, we have to take action."

"Whistleblower? Who is the whistleblower?" the Patriarch of the Sun Family asked in a heavy tone.

"Song Xiaodong! The complaint was lodged in his own name, and he explicitly stressed that there’s no need to hide the whistleblower’s information. He is definitely confronting you head-on."

At this, the Patriarch of the Sun Family furrowed his brows and said, "Where did he get all this evidence from?"

"I’m not sure about that. By the time we received the complaint, all these materials were already delivered, and every issue was meticulously detailed. So, it’s best if your Sun family doesn’t try to suppress this anymore, as it could implicate others and cause more trouble for your family."

After hanging up, the Patriarch of the Sun Family’s brows remained deeply furrowed. Song Xiaodong had counterattacked so quickly; the young man was truly a tough nut to crack, quite like a resilient Xiaoqiang.
