Chapter 769: Chapter 770 Scared to Death

"Sun Seven, are you still going to stop me now?" Su Qingmiao, seeing how terrified Sun Zilang looked, suddenly felt an indescribable delight and asked Sun Zilang with triumphant glee.

"No... no stopping!" Sun Zilang’s mouth twitched slightly, and then he immediately said, "Sun Sev... Sixth Young Master, this is all a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!"

If there was one person who gave the Sun Family the most headaches, it was definitely Song Xiaodong, and if there was one person the Sun Family was currently most afraid of, that was also definitely Song Xiaodong.

In the past, Sun Zi’ang of the Sun family had been killed by Song Xiaodong on the spot for messing with his woman, in his own home no less.

Furthermore, because of the alliance through marriage with Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing, the Sun Family had lost several important family guards.

The most formidable act was when Song Xiaodong had brazenly shown up to snatch the bride, not only enraging the Old Master of the Su Family but also becoming the Patriarch of the Su Family, his current status and power greatly increased.

Sun Zi’ang had been killed for touching Song Xiaodong’s woman, and he definitely didn’t want to follow in Sun Zi’ang’s footsteps.

"A misunderstanding?" Su Qingmiao scoffed coldly.

"It’s absolutely a misunderstanding. It’s all because these two bastards said she was just a small-town host, so I got this idea. I really didn’t know she was with Song... with him. Besides, look, not a single hair on her head is harmed, I haven’t laid a finger on her, yes, that’s it, I definitely didn’t touch her at all."

At this point, Sun Zilang was desperately trying to exonerate himself because the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. Song Xiaodong was just too frightening, and he did not want to die.

Seeing Sun Zilang practically begging him, Su Qingmiao felt incredibly satisfied inside. When the old master was alive, the Su Family had never been this glorious, nor had he ever been so high and mighty in front of the Sun Family members.

"This matter is not for me, Su Qingmiao, to decide. You’d best be prepared. If that person gets angry, whether you, Sun Zilang, can withstand his fury, you should know best."

"Please, Sixth Young Master, Sixth Young Master, you’ve got to cover for me a bit, say a few good words for me in front of him. If you trash-talk me any further, then I’m really done for. Although we’ve had our share of quarrels, we’ve never truly turned against each other, right? We’ve enjoyed food and drink together before, and my little stars have also entertained you."

Su Qingmiao’s face became somewhat embarrassed and said, "I really don’t have much say in this matter. You surely know who does, right?"

Sun Zilang was stunned for a moment, then his gaze swiftly turned to Cheng Xiaoyue, with a forced smile on his face, he said, "Miss Cheng, I’m truly sorry. I, Sun Zilang, was blind to Mount Tai and offended you. Look, I didn’t lay hands on you, and for any offense I’ve caused with my words, I ask for your generous forgiveness."

This time, Cheng Xiaoyue just stared blankly at Sun Zilang, with no reaction, because her mind was already wandering remote skyways.

"A man surnamed Song from Tiannan, isn’t that talking about Song Xiaodong?" From their conversation, Cheng Xiaoyue had sorted out the answer to the problem.

But this also gave Cheng Xiaoyue a profound shock, even more so than what she had experienced in Tiannan.

The influence of Song Xiaodong in Minghe seemed even greater than in Tiannan, Sixth Young Master Su had only mentioned a surname and it sent Sun Zilang fleeing in terror, an unfathomable thought indeed.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyue not speaking, Sun Zilang became even more panicked, and quickly said, "Miss Cheng, as long as you can forgive me, I definitely won’t play dumb. If you want to act, I’ll promote you vigorously, and additionally... additionally, I’ll compensate you, to your complete satisfaction."

Sun Zilang didn’t have a particularly large sum of money at his disposal, but with this matter, he could go back and talk to his father. Even if it meant coughing up blood, he couldn’t let that lunatic Song Xiaodong come and kill him.

Previously, Sun One seemed to have a hold over Song Xiaodong, but now Song Xiaodong’s strength was absolutely on par with Sun One’s. If Song Xiaodong decided to kill him, Sun One couldn’t possibly protect him every day. He was the Sun family’s precious treasure, and furthermore, he had absolutely no right to have Sun One protect him.

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyue finally heard everything, and her expression suddenly became even richer.

Her understanding of Song Xiaodong climbed another level. This wasn’t just a matter of reporting a name to resolve the issue; it had even scared the other party into compensation. With such power, it was simply unimaginable.

"No... no need," Cheng Xiaoyue unconsciously blurted out.

"Don’t say that!" Sun Zilang’s face grew even paler as he pleaded urgently, "Miss Cheng, I’ve already admitted my mistake. You can’t just not let me off the hook, can you? You can’t just let your man kill me over this little thing."

Kill... kill off!

Qiao Bin and Li Quan were dumbfounded. What was going on? If Sun Zilang could be killed, then they would die without a trace left behind.

Both felt their legs go weak and nearly collapsed to the ground.

Cheng Xiaoyue hurriedly said, "No, that’s not it. I don’t want to kill you off. Ah, our family’s man?" She was somewhat bewildered, but in a flash, she understood. Sun Zilang probably mistook her for Song Xiaodong’s woman, which was why he was so terrified.

This caused Cheng Xiaoyue’s expression to become even more splendid. She had always had feelings for Song Xiaodong, but he had never shown any interest in her. Knowing Song Xiaodong’s identity, she had never dared to think in that direction, but who would have thought there could be such a misunderstanding?

Wait a second, if Sun Zilang was mistaken, and it was clearly Sixth Young Master Su who had led him to this belief, didn’t that mean Sixth Young Master Su thought the same?

This thought excited Cheng Xiaoyue. If Sixth Young Master Su thought so, could it be that Song Xiaodong had signaled something?

Sun Zilang immediately said, "If Miss Cheng you stop pursuing the matter, whatever you say, I will try my best... ah, not just try, I will definitely satisfy you."

"Oh... well... I don’t really have any demands. Let’s just let it go at that, shall we? Let’s go."

Su Qingmiao immediately escorted Cheng Xiaoyue out, feeling somewhat regretful that they didn’t further torment Sun Zilang and bleed him dry a bit more. However, since Cheng Xiaoyue had spoken, he wouldn’t have any objections.

Watching Su Qingmiao and the others leave, Li Quan, with a pained expression, asked Sun Zilang, "Vice President Sun, what... what on earth is going on here?"

Sun Zilang finally came back to his senses, and a surge of anger suddenly rose. He lashed out with a kick toward the two, roaring, "You two bastards are genuinely out to harm me! Laozi will beat you to death! Laozi will kill you both!"

"Young Master Seven! Young Master Seven, we didn’t know, we really didn’t know," they pleaded.

At this moment, Sun Zilang was entirely driven by his rage, beckoning two family guards to beat up Li Quan and Qiao Bin fiercely. If it weren’t for these two fools, would he have offended that murderer who didn’t bat an eye, Song Xiaodong?
