Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Special Personnel?

Meanwhile in Xiangjiang, the nightfall had descended just the same, and four other people had also returned to the Zhong family’s villa.

The Eldest Young Master Zhong’s face was unsightly, and Chairman Zhong’s was equally so.

It was certain that Zhong Shaoqing had no intention of coming back at this point.

Even though they had left two bodyguards with him, the distance was too great to control anything—powerless due to the long distance.

Moreover, communication was inconvenient now.

Although money had been sent out, it had to be done.

To this moment, Chairman Zhong still couldn’t understand how that young woman named Song Yunuan came to know of the company he had secretly established.

Where did she get such enormous power?

It simply seemed impossible.

But that was the reality.

In these past few days, he had also been feeling somewhat guilty and restless, then observing the reactions of the other two families, it seemed they did not know.

He was beginning to understand that this must be one of Song Yunuan’s conditions: as long as he stayed out of Zhong Shaoqing’s affairs, she would not tell the other two families.

Could anyone feel comfortable being threatened?

He wished he could fly over right now and kill that young lady, Song Yunuan.

But he dared not act rashly without a clear understanding of the situation.

Finally, they had waited for the four people to return.

After interrogating them in detail, both Chairman Zhong and the Eldest Young Master Zhong were somewhat shocked.

Could this be true?

Was it possible that the two bodyguards were lying to evade responsibility?

The two swore oaths, stating they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and they had been beaten too. The weapon was neither rope nor stick. The young lady was terrifying, beating them with the tail of a live snake.

Furthermore, she was fast, like a streak of smoke.

All four of them couldn’t outrun her even when they scattered in different directions.

The bodyguard said, "Chairman, there’s not a single lie in what we two are saying. If you don’t believe us, you can go ask Adah and Acheng; Adah’s nose should still have the wound from the snake bite."

Fortunately, it was non-venomous.

Chairman Zhong then let the four of them go back first.

Meanwhile, he began to discuss in a low voice with the Eldest Young Master Zhong.

The conclusion they reached in the end was that, based on their descriptions, the most likely scenario was that there were special operatives lurking on this side.

This was a common occurrence in the past.

Actually, it had happened in recent years too; they just weren’t aware of it.

Therefore, the information Song Yunuan obtained must have been conveyed by one of those special operatives.

What exactly did Song Yunuan do?

They couldn’t figure it out.

She could very well be one of those special operatives; otherwise, how could her skills be so formidable?

Like those masters in the martial arts world of legend, who are all managed by specialized departments.

Perhaps there’s such a department on their side too.

That would explain everything.

So for now, they could only deal with it like this.

Song Yunuan’s prowess was a bit terrifying; perhaps even bullets wouldn’t reach her.

If they threatened her with her family members, given the ruthless nature of this young lady, she might even come to Xiangjiang to assassinate them.

That would be more trouble than it was worth.

Eldest Young Master Zhong asked Zhong Daqiao, "Daddy, do you think Shaoqing will break away on his own if he smoothly inherits the fortune?"

Zhong Daqiao curled the corner of his mouth, "Let him inherit the fortune first. Afterward, we have plenty of ways to deal with him."

"What about our company? Now that Song Yunuan knows about it, this isn’t a good thing."

Zhong Daqiao’s face darkened; ultimately they would have to deal with Song Yunuan.

The Eldest Young Master Zhong thought for a moment and then said, "Daddy, we can’t make a move."

"Why not?"

The Eldest Young Master Zhong said, "Let’s not rush things. We still have three years’ time. Right now, Shangguan Heng is in a desperate situation, his hatred with Xia Xindong is inextricable and likely to be a fight to the death.

Why should we rush to the forefront?

Let the two of them fight to the end; by the time the three years are up, everything should be easier to handle."

Zhong Daqiao nodded in agreement.

His eldest son was right; they didn’t need to take action against Song Yunuan now.

Such words would indeed play right into Shangguan Heng’s hands.

They were not foolish enough to become Shangguan Heng’s henchmen.

The eldest son was truly worthy of being his heir, simply outstanding.

Shangguan Heng also received a call from his daughter, who even mentioned the events of the past.

He might not have been particularly surprised, but at that moment, his back broke out in cold sweat as he clenched the phone tightly.

He asked Shangguan Wan, "Do you now want to come back or continue staying there?"

Shangguan Wan certainly wanted to return.

She didn’t wish to stay here anymore because the madman was here, and she was very afraid he would come looking for her again.

Yet Shangguan Heng, deep in thought, said, "Little Wan, Daddy has a hunch. Let me tell you, and then you analyze it."

Shangguan Wan quickly replied, "Daddy, please speak."

"Is that Second Young Master Zhong pretending to be mad?"

Shangguan Wan was stunned.

"So don’t worry, he won’t dare to harm you. You can continue to stay with the Xia family, just say you’re waiting for your youngest aunt to get out. Then look for an opportunity to test if he is really feigning madness."

Shangguan Wan wanted to say something else, but Shangguan Heng told her he had left someone by her side who would come to her if anything happened.

He told her to just be attentive at that time.

And he informed Shangguan Wan that he would send her money shortly, so she should stay put for now, at ease.

He also told Shangguan Wan that he had a very important matter on the mainland and would handle it himself when the time was ripe.

He advised her to be mindful, as the local side was already very dissatisfied with her after her participation in a few events.

The local newspapers had already reported it. He had spent a substantial amount of money to suppress the news.

Shangguan Wan protested, "That wasn’t my intention; my uncle took me there, how was I to know it was a trap? And with reporters there, I could only say nice things..."

Then she heard the sound of people talking in the courtyard.

Xia Liying was back.

Shangguan Wan hurriedly told Shangguan Heng, "Daddy, someone has come home, I can’t talk now."

Xia Liying entered the house and asked Shangguan Wan, "I’m going to see my mom, do you want to come?"

Shangguan Wan hurriedly nodded, "I’ll go, I’ll go."

She definitely wanted to see for herself.

But at the same time, Shangguan Wan’s mind was a bit of a mess, was Second Young Master Zhong really feigning madness?

If he was pretending to be mad, he would certainly be able to inherit the substantial inheritance smoothly.

She was not a girl who kept romantic feelings in her heart.

In Xiangjiang, without money, you would be trampled into the mud and mistreated.

With money, you could enjoy a life of privilege.

Then there was the question of why Daddy said there was a very important matter here?

Only at the end did she remember that they hadn’t discussed how to deal with Song Yunuan yet.

-----------------

The next morning, Song Yunuan was too lazy to move and just lounged in the courtyard.

She lay lazily under the grape arbor.

The purple grapes were growing well, and she estimated they could be picked and eaten by autumn.

The place was very clean, almost devoid of mosquitoes and such.

Because the medicine Old Mr. Ji provided was very effective.

Even the grape arbor felt refreshing, allowing her to lie down without worry; Song Yunuan felt, for once, she could relish the feeling of being an idle fish.

Old Man Song had bought some meat from the grocery store, left some for the household, and then hurried back to the village by horse cart.

Song Mingbo told Old Man Song not to rush, and if he was tired, not to bother coming.

The three siblings would manage their own cooking.

Song Mingbo stood in the courtyard, and despite his efforts to conceal it, something seemed off.

Song Yunuan finally took notice.

After persistent questioning, she learned that her little uncle was now in the hospital.

He had injured himself.

For some reason, the wound was healing very slowly.

Hospital Director Zhuang said it was a case of split personality.

It was another personality that wanted to die together with him.
