Return of the King, Dominating the City
Chapter 29 - 29 28 Establishing Power

29: Chapter 28: Establishing Power 29: Chapter 28: Establishing Power “Why are you saying only dead bodies are useful…

Don’t tell me you’re planning to take it…” Song Yun asked Tang Lin with an awkward look.

“Damn it, kid, can’t your brain work normally?” Tang Lin cursed with a laugh, devoid of his earlier sage-like demeanor.

He carelessly sat on a stool and said languidly, “Because a corpse can’t talk, man, dead men tell no tales.

Think about it, what a ninja can do is obviously something like assassination.

And who knows, this dumbass might even be registered with the international police.

What do you think a murderous ninja would want in Sunan City?”

Still not waiting for Song Yun’s reply, Tang Lin excitedly said, “Exactly, you’re right, it’s murder.

They ruthlessly harm our citizens, and we shouldn’t seek compensation from them?”

Song Yun sat there with a dark expression, thinking to himself, I didn’t even open my mouth yet, and you’re going back and forth with ‘you’re right, you’re right.’ Do you think we share some sort of telepathy?

“Alright, it’s settled then, I’ll take the ninja back with me,” Tang Lin said slowly.

“Whatever.”

······

After Song Yun sent Tang Lin out, he sat on the sofa and said to Wang Hu, who was shivering a bit at his side, “Relax, everything has been taken care of now.

We’ll need to collaborate more in the future.”

“Tha…Thank you, Mr.

Song, for your nurturing,” Wang Hu said, his voice quivering.

The impact of Tang Lin’s words was still hitting him hard; this wasn’t just some government official but definitely someone from the upper echelons.

“A figure like this,” he thought, “must be grasped tightly for good fortune like this doesn’t come often.”

“Oh right, most of your assets are still primarily under-the-table, right?

You must be well-known at the police station.

I’ll go talk to Wang Dong sometime and get your name removed from their blacklist,” Song Yun said in a leisurely manner.

Usually, Wang Hu dealt with the police the most.

The highest-ranking officer he had interacted with was the head of the local precinct.

He had never interacted with the deputy chief of the city precinct, only heard of him.

It seemed that the boss had a very good relationship with that deputy chief of police, otherwise he couldn’t just mention it casually and pull him out of this quagmire.

“From now on, you’re my boss, Brother Yun.

I may be a crude man, but I know the words loyalty and righteousness well.

Just accept me, and whether it’s climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of flames, I won’t even blink,” Wang Hu hurriedly said, seizing the moment to show loyalty, because when it’s time to bow, one must bow.

“Alright then, I’ll accept you,” Song Yun said with a troubled look.

“Ah right, Song Yun, each member of our special operations department has certain rights.

This will be explained when you go to the Yanjing headquarters,” Tang Lin popped out of nowhere and added, “One of the things I can tell you is that special operations members can develop their own forces, as we individuals, while powerful, need support in various aspects such as gathering intelligence or handling matters that we cannot appear in directly.”

Song Yun was startled by Tang Lin’s sudden reappearance, breathing out twice to calm himself down as he thought of cursing, but simply said, “I got it.”

“Okay, just remember though, don’t engage in activities that violate regulations, like touching the nation’s bottom lines,” Tang Lin said seriously.

“Alright, you still have things to deal with, right?

I won’t bother you then.

Take care, watch the steps,” Song Yun said as he watched Tang Lin leave the door, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot to give you this thing, this menu…

uh, not the menu, this list of things you can exchange for badges.

Stop by SD to see me when you have time,” Tang Lin said, dropping something resembling a menu and finally left.

Watching Tang Lin’s car kick up dust as it drove away, Song Yun felt a burden lift off his shoulders, thinking to himself about Tang Lin’s inexplicable ability to stay unnoticed.

“If he were to spy on me in bed, I probably wouldn’t notice him at all.

No, this guy is too dangerous, I’ve got to blacklist him,” thought Song Yun secretly.

Oblivious and innocent-looking Tang Lin had no idea that Song Yun had already tagged him as a dangerous person.

With everything resolved, Song Yun sat on the sofa, looking at Wang Hu, who was trying to please him, and said, “From now on, we’re family.”

“Absolutely, Brother Yun.

From now on, I, Wang Hu, will follow you wherever you lead.

If you tell me to go east, I’d never go west.

If you tell me to butcher dogs, I’ll never slaughter donkeys,” Wang Hu said.

“Now that we’re family, there’s no need for pretenses.

The Tiger Gang is still yours to run, but you’ve got to know the ins and outs even better than before.

You heard what that uncle said, didn’t you?

Anything illegal in our operations has to stop,” Song Yun said with a light smile, “Though your influence is strong now, it’s still not enough to rival the established gangs.

So, you should also try to take over the north and the east.

As for some regulated items, I’ll think of a way for you.

Your only task now is to strengthen the gang.”

“That…

Brother Yun, I’ve heard there are quite influential people behind the Noble Young Master Gang, used by those big shots for laundering money.

Won’t this cause us trouble?” Wang Hu asked cautiously.

“Are you trying to say cutting off someone’s money is like killing their parents?” Seeing Wang Hu nod, Song Yun continued, “I don’t care who’s behind them.

You must take that northern territory for me, and I’ll figure out something about those big shots.”

“Alright, alright.

Without anyone to challenge us, we will definitely grow strong quickly.”

“Yeah, oh and, do you have any idle money right now?

If so, give me some,” Song Yun suddenly changed the topic, catching Wang Hu off guard.

But since Song Yun asked, there must be a reason, so Wang Hu promptly instructed his subordinates to withdraw over a hundred thousand from the bank.

Laying the money in front of Song Yun, Wang Hu was a bit worried that Song Yun might find it too little.

However, Song Yun didn’t show much dissatisfaction.

Instead, he had him pack the money in a backpack, exchanged mobile numbers with Wang Hu, and left with Black Flood Dragon.

Standing at the door, watching Song Yun’s silhouette in the car, Wang Hu murmured, “Is this really like pie falling from the sky?

Is it finally my time to turn things around?”

On the car, Black Flood Dragon looked at Song Yun, puzzled, and asked, “When did you join a national organization?

Your old man never mentioned it to me.”

“Just last night, I officially took up the position.

I’m also baffled as to why they suddenly roped me in, but looking at it now, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so I might as well stay there for the time being.

If any danger looms, I’ll definitely be the first to bolt.”

“Yeah, alright, you’re a man with a plan.

Ah, speaking of which, I heard your old man is pulling two people out of the Mercenary Group to help you.

They should be arriving in the next few days, so you better get ready.”

“Haha, if it were a couple of days ago, I’d have been really worried.

After all, this place can’t handle some no-investment business.

They’d have been just freeloaders, but today, hahahaha, I’ve got over a hundred thousand now, totally enough to keep them fed,” Song Yun said, patting the backpack with a gleam in his eye.
