Chapter 850: Chapter 851: From Complex to Simple

Cao Fengqing said: "Very well! But the Su Family and the Sun Family have many experts, we must not be careless."

Zhou Zhengfang said: "Rest assured about this, you are out there and have no idea how many masters are hidden within the big families of Beijing, you don’t even know what a real master is."

Cao Fengqing was reassured and said: "Alright, then I’ll wait for you to bring people over."

Zhao Wenqiang’s face had already changed from the start of Cao Fengqing’s conversation, and as soon as Cao Fengqing hung up the phone, he immediately asked: "What exactly happened? The Zhou Family won’t ignore this matter, will they?"

Cao Fengqing took a deep breath and repeated what Zhou Zhengfang had said, which also made Zhao Wenqiang furrow his brows. This almost severed the easiest and safest method.

This left Cao Fengqing and Zhao Wenqiang without the confidence they initially had, but now caught in a difficult position; they could only hope that the Zhou Family’s masters would come to resolve the problem.

......

The Su Family!

Song Xiaodong and the Patriarch of the Sun Family were sitting under the trees in front of the villa, drinking tea. Sun Ziyun was sitting to one side, serving tea and water, with a sweet smile on her face, occasionally glancing at Song Xiaodong.

The Patriarch of the Sun Family said with a chuckle: "It looks like you young couple are doing well."

Sun Ziyun’s cheeks turned red and said: "Grandpa, don’t make fun of people."

The Patriarch of the Sun Family laughed heartily and said: "Having a married-in family is different; you used to be a little wild girl, now you’ve become much quieter. Patriarch Song, this girl I usually indulge, so she’s a little temperamental. You should discipline her when necessary; once she’s part of the Song family, she is a Song family member. How you educate her is your business."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Zi Yun is quite fine." Then he changed the subject and said, "Patriarch, I suppose you have already received the news from above, haven’t you?"

The Patriarch of the Sun Family also put away his smile and said: "Indeed, no wonder you were so confident at the time; the Zhou Family has indeed been restricted. However, we are also bound by the same restrictions. After all, this is on our turf, and with more constraints, it is inconvenient for us to make a move."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Moreover, I feel that we need to restrain our actions even more. If those above are worried about bad influence, then there are some things we just can’t do. For example, suppressing the other party’s company—causing their employees to petition or something like that would be quite troublesome."

The Patriarch of the Sun Family also nodded and said: "Yes, so we can’t make moves politically, and we have to be cautious in business competition as well. It seems they are doing the same, so the main dispute in the end will be resolved by force."

What the Patriarch’s reference to force obviously wasn’t about large-scale conflicts, but rather battles like those between Family Guards, just as when Song Xiaodong had a conflict with the Sun family before.

Song Xiaodong lifted his teacup and took a sip, saying: "This is the most likely method."

The Patriarch of the Sun Family squinted his eyes and said: "Frankly speaking, I don’t have the slightest confidence in this matter. The actions of the large families in Beijing are rarely accessible to us. Generally speaking, as long as they speak a word, local families have no choice but to show respect, without the need for their expert Family Guards to make a move."

Song Xiaodong’s face also showed a grave expression, saying: "Indeed, this is a matter with considerable uncertainties, but we have to accept it."

The Patriarch of the Sun Family slightly smiled and said: "Even if the other side is strong, I don’t believe they can be that invincible. We have Sun One, and your family has Zhentian; most importantly, there’s you—an expert. Even if the Zhou Family sends masters, I don’t believe they can defeat all three of you."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said: "Patriarch, you really overestimate me, but I do have this confidence. If they choose such an approach, then I must let them know that our two families are not to be trifled with."

Watching Song Xiaodong, Sun Ziyun’s face once again showed a mesmerized look, her favorite being Song Xiaodong’s unmistakable masculine boldness.

The Patriarch of the Sun Family took a sip of his tea and said: "With that, the matter is much simpler; next we must all prepare for battle. To be safe, Patriarch Song, don’t neglect this in the meantime. Too many women can easily erode one’s resolve."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said: "Rest assured, Patriarch, I know what to do."

"Okay then, that’s settled. I’ll go back and make arrangements, let’s keep in touch, and then we can wait to enjoy the fruits of victory."

As the Patriarch of the Sun Family stood up, preparing to leave, Sun One, the old lady, came over and said: "Family Head, I have a few words to say to Patriarch Song."

"Sure, then I’ll have a couple more words with my granddaughter." The Patriarch of the Sun Family sat down again.

Song Xiaodong walked to the side with Sun One and said: "Senior, what instructions do you have for me?"

Sun One, with a slightly hoarse voice, said gruffly: "Young man, you certainly are something, one woman after another."

Song Xiaodong grinned and said: "Zi Yun is a member of the Sun family; you should be clearer than me about how she came to be here."

"Hmph, then let me ask you, when will you take Yiyi as your bride?" Sun One’s eyes were filled with Killing Aura.

Song Xiaodong was somewhat embarrassed and said: "Senior, Yiyi’s body is very special; if she were to come now, surely I would die at her hands."

Sun One snorted again and said: "You do have some self-awareness, but I do admire you for one thing—you went out with Yiyi once and managed to come back alive."

Song Xiaodong’s face was again one of embarrassment. Obviously, the old lady Sun One understood Sun Yiyi’s situation very well, and then with a bit of gloom, he said: "Senior, knowing Yiyi’s condition, you still let her be with me last time. Isn’t this basically like trying to get me killed on purpose?"

"If you had agreed, then you would’ve deserved death," Sun One answered bluntly and then continued: "Young man, don’t think just because you’re a Family Head, I would be afraid of you. Yiyi’s matter— you must give me a proper explanation in the future. If you dare wrong her, I definitely won’t let you off easily."

Song Xiaodong said earnestly: "Senior, there’s no need to worry about that. Given Yiyi’s unique constitution, although I currently cannot bear it, when the day comes that I can withstand it, perhaps to me, and to her, it will be a great opportunity."

"Is that so?" Sun One stared at Song Xiaodong, saying: "You’re saying you both could take the opportunity to improve?"

"There’s that possibility," Song Xiaodong nodded.

"Alright then, if that’s the case, once this matter is settled, I’ll make a trip to Japan to help you get the prescription over."

After finishing her words, Sun One quickly left.

Watching Sun One’s retreating figure, Song Xiaodong suddenly had a peculiar feeling—that Sun One’s strength seemed to have increased again.
