Chapter 390: 376 Take the money to shut them up

From Jun Chi’s perspective, his mission this time was to protect Song Xiaoxiao.

However, the outcome was—Xiaoxiao was severely injured, almost killed by Song Qinglong!

For Jun Chi, who regarded the mission as his life, such a result would undoubtedly lead to immense regret and self-reproach.

But the affairs of the world are ever-changing, and Jun Chi approached Song Qinglong with the intention of clashing with those drug lords.

The sudden incident of Song Qinglong pushing Xiaoxiao off a cliff was unexpected by everyone!

After all, he intended to use Xiaoxiao to hide those things, and would surely have kept her well protected. Who could have anticipated such a mad act!

Moreover, Jun Chi managed to catch Xiaoxiao in the nick of time, slowing her fall, which could be considered making amends for his previous failure.

He wasn’t the instigator, and there was no need to be so harsh on Jun Chi.

Yan Yueqing was worried that Jun Chi would become fixated, so she asked Jun Lii to go and persuade him.

"He’s a bit stubborn; persuasion doesn’t work well on him, commands are more effective," Jun Lii said calmly. "Once he wakes up and gets some sleep, he’ll understand naturally. You don’t have to worry."

"That’s good."

Yan Yueqing gestured for him to walk towards the living room: "Let them sleep for now, let’s go talk outside."

"Alright."

The two of them went out.

Yan Yueqing sat on the sofa: "There was some trouble at Song Hui’s place tonight."

She briefly described the situation: "Xiaoxiao just had an accident, and Sister Mansheng probably hasn’t noticed the situation with Song Hui and his wife. However, I asked her last time, how does she plan to arrange things for Xiaoyu? She mentioned that she could use a paternity test to acknowledge Xiaoyu, but..."

Jun Lii understood immediately: "Are you worried that Song Qinglong’s existence could affect Xiaoyu’s future?"

"Yes, Song Qinglong is her biological father, and once the drug lord case is over, he will be sentenced to prison! At this time, acknowledging Xiaoyu through a paternity test would mean many restrictions for her future."

The most immediate would be failing political vetting, as well as certain special professions requiring scrutiny of three generations of kinship.

These things seem far off, and perhaps by the time Xiaoyu grows up, the policies will have changed. But who would dare gamble their children’s futures?

Thus, Du Mansheng fell into a state of confusion.

If she acknowledges Xiaoyu, Song Qinglong’s fate seals her future paths.

Without using the paternity test, Song Hui and his wife keep causing trouble!

Adding to that is Xiaoxiao’s serious illness, which likely has her frantic.

As Du Mansheng’s good friend, Yan Yueqing naturally couldn’t bear to see her so distressed and asked, "Is there a legal and suitable way to have Xiaoyu returned to Sister Mansheng’s side while also preventing future problems?"

Jun Lii thought seriously: "As long as we settle the issue with Song Hui and his wife, we might not need to go through Song Qinglong for Xiaoyu to be registered in the household."

"Regarding Song Hui—"

"They want money. Either we give them enough money, or we find a compelling reason that they wouldn’t dare to ask for it," Jun Lii thought for a moment. "Yueqing, don’t worry for now. I’ll have Jun Jiu look into Song Hui and his wife’s background. There’s bound to be a loophole."

"Hmm," Yan Yueqing nodded. "That sounds good! Actually... The last time, Sister Mansheng told me that if it really came to it, she would be willing to pay for a bone marrow match for Song Xiaohua and cover all her subsequent medical expenses as a trade. Considering this, Song Hui and his wife are unlikely to refuse... But I just can’t be satisfied with that!"

She clenched her fists: "Why should people who have done so much wrong be forgiven just because someone is kind-hearted? They’ve already taken half a million from Song Qinglong, and now they want more money from Sister Mansheng? It’s disgusting! Besides... If we let them get their way, the Du Family might never be able to get rid of Song Hui and his wife in this lifetime!"

Jun Lii agreed: "Paying them off to shut their mouths is indeed a last resort."
