Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Refusing Face Given

According to Old Master Gu’s intention, they were to hand this person over to the police station.

But if they really handed him over to the police station, the mastermind would definitely know.

So, before they left, whether this matter could be clarified was debatable.

Song Yunuan said, "What’s there to clarify? There are only a few people involved. I just need to go and warn each household."

Xia Xindong felt a headache coming on and grabbed his niece’s wrist: "Wouldn’t it be good if you just rested now?"

Little Nuan was still growing, so she shouldn’t be working so hard.

It was his own uselessness.

Song Yunuan glanced at the time and said to Old Master Gu: "Grandpa Gu, you should rest now. Once you’re rested, there will be a lot of things for you to deal with tomorrow."

Old Mr. Gu didn’t hear Song Yunuan’s inner voice, nor did he know what this young girl knew or wanted to do.

Then, he realized he could only hear Little Nuan’s inner voice if it involved him.

Knowing this, he had breathed a sigh of relief at the time.

At this moment, Old Mr. Gu was silent for an instant before nodding in agreement.

Afterward, a car was arranged, packed with a bag of cobblestones.

Xia Xindong was unable to rest; he and Lu sat in the car.

The first house they visited was Shangguan Heng’s.

The driver had been arranged by Uncle Lew, a man who knew his way around everywhere.

Knowing they were going for a nighttime visit, he looked over the route: starting with Shangguan Heng’s place, then to Zhong Daqiao’s, followed by Wang Shan’s, and finally to the Ai family’s residence before heading back to the hotel.

That route was the most time-efficient for their circuit.

The security of these individual residences wasn’t as advanced as it became later, where outsiders couldn’t step into the secured perimeter.

So, Song Yunuan stood not far from the main gate, where regardless of the late hour, these families would not be without a sliver of light.

There were lights in the yard, and security personnel patrolled regularly.

A minute after Song Yunuan used her slingshot and pebbles to shatter the villa’s glass windows, lights turned on in many rooms.

From within the frontal range, Song Yunuan shattered all the glass.

She also took out a telescope to check and ensure she hadn’t missed any, only then moving on to the next destination.

Xia Xindong and Lu had become numb to the process.

Though the driver had not witnessed it up close—his car was parked in a dark corner not far away—

he saw the lights of the villa and heard the clamor inside.

But he hadn’t heard any noise just before that.

So what exactly had Miss Song done?

But he knew she probably wasn’t afraid of others finding out.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had him drive.

Considering their characters, they were not the type to silence him.

The next two homes were just like Shangguan Heng’s.

The Ai family posed some difficulty since their house was on the mountain top.

That road belonged solely to the Ai family, and cars simply couldn’t drive in.

But this didn’t stymie Song Yunuan in the slightest.

The question was whether she should go alone or whether Xia Xindong and Lu should follow.

Xia Xindong’s voice was extremely gentle at the time: "Little Nuan, go ahead, we’ll wait for you here."

Knowing his own limitations, he definitely couldn’t hold Little Nuan back.

The only thing he could do was to become stronger and stronger.

Now, those negative emotions seldom appeared on him.

All three of his nephews would achieve extraordinary things.

He, as their maternal uncle, could not afford to lose too much face.

Song Yunuan floated towards the Ai family mansion like a wisp of smoke.

Just from the road dedicated to the Ai family, one could glean the family’s background and strength.

But even so, the glass windows of the Ai family villa were still targeted without fail.

One by one, the cobblestones flew towards the villa’s windows.

No matter if it was thickened, bulletproof, or ordinary, all shattered under Song Yunuan’s slingshot.

Especially in one particular glass greenhouse.

After Song Yunuan smashed it, there was a thunderous sound as if it had exploded.

She even heard Ai Ni’s panicky, wretched screams.

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

The following day’s newspaper didn’t mention anything about these families.

Of course, it wouldn’t. This is the age of capital, where publication is a choice, and no one dares to breach that discretion.

However, Shangguan Heng, still unsettled, Zhong Daqiao with a swollen face, and Wang Shan with an unappealing complexion and a head bandaged in gauze, all arrived at the hotel together.

There was a secret meeting room upstairs.

In there, Old Master Gu, Xia Xindong, Xia Bowen, Song Mingbo, and the others were present, along with a man in restaurant attire who was tied up on the floor.

The situation was clear without further explanation.

Shangguan Heng was the first to assure everyone that it definitely wasn’t him.

He had been feeling particularly unwell these past few days but couldn’t find anything wrong with his health.

He could only wait for the pestilence to pass before going abroad for a medical check-up.

But Shangguan Heng was not optimistic.

He was aware of Xia Xindong’s capability; maybe the virus was specifically prepared for him.

The last to arrive was the Ai family, with Ai Ni heading straight for Song Yunuan.

By then, the suspicions cast on the three families had been cleared, leaving only the Ai family under scrutiny.

Ai Ni immediately went to find her mommy, thoroughly terrified.

The glass in her bedroom was all shattered, an absolutely horrifying sight.

One could tell from her demeanor that it was Song Yunuan’s doing.

Ai Ni was furious.

She knew what was going on and first took Shih Ke and a group of bodyguards back to the Lew family’s hotel.

For the moment, she dared not let Grandpa know.

But only after arriving did she learn that Song Yunuan hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet.

What did she do last night to be so busy?

When Song Yunuan saw Ai Ni, she was not at all surprised.

She asked the delivery man, "Did she hire you?"

Ai Ni’s face turned deathly pale, but her heart was also filled with raging hatred.

That damned Song Yunuan, ruining so much for her.

The delivery man stayed silent while Song Yunuan wasn’t in a hurry; instead, she had Ai Ni make a call, inviting over Third Young Master Ai, the Third Madam, and Ai Ruifeng, who were also Old Mr. Ai’s eldest son and daughter-in-law.

Subsequently, Old Master Gu also invited the perplexed Old Master Ai, who immediately took a car to the hotel.

A different secret was now implicated here.

Song Yunuan had merely thrown a bombshell.

The small meeting room was very private, evidently considering the Ai family’s dignity.

Old Master Ai, confused, looked at Song Yunuan but didn’t say much.

He knew of the young girl’s significant background and that his granddaughter had offended her, but he had already offered his apologies.

What was causing this rumpus now?

Old Master Ai was also someone who could get angry when shown disrespect despite giving face.

For instance, a previously agreed investment could be withdrawn at a whim, no money would be given if he became displeased.

Old Mr. Ai was also one to mask his emotions.

He leisurely addressed Song Yunuan: "Miss Song, my granddaughter Ai Ni is headstrong and mischievous, and has inadvertently offended you. I hereby apologize to you again.

If you desire any compensation, just mention it. As long as my Ai family can afford it, we promise to compensate you doubly.

Besides, you are here for legitimate business, and time is money. It’s not worthwhile to waste time on insignificant matters."

Then, turning to the silent Old Master Gu: "Old Mr. Gu, I’ve always respected you, and I didn’t anticipate this situation."

Old Master Gu had to admire Old Mr. Ai’s ability to tell blatant lies with open eyes. Did he not see the living person lying on the floor?
