Chương 155: The Lingjiang Gang Arrives

Welcome Wind Pavilion. By the time Song Que arrived, Wu Yi, Guan Yu, and the rest were all already present. Benefiting from Young Master Song's prestige, hearing that Zhong Hong had come to book a table, the boss here readily cleared out an entire floor for the convenience of the brothers to chat.

"Haha, Brother Yi! From now on, our group of brothers is finally reunited!" Before he even entered, the people in the room heard Boss Song's hearty laughter. Wu Yi immediately took the lead, stood up, and went out to welcome him:"Mother of God! A'Que, you've completely changed shape again! You're even harder to recognize than last time! If Xiong Ba and Brother Nie Feng hadn't prepared me mentally, I wouldn't have dared to call out your name!"

Looking at the pitch-black iron tower in front of him, Old Wu was also startled.

"Haha, even I sometimes don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror!" Song Que joked, stepping forward to give him a bear hug:"Welcome back, Brother Yi!"

"Haha, A'Que, it's all thanks to you this time that your old brother could return to the county so quickly! Come quickly inside!"

"Brother Guan!"...

"Young Master Song!" After greeting Old Guan, Song Que finally sat down, led by Wu Yi's hand.

"A'Que, this time it was your old brother who implicated you. Fortunately, everything turned out safe and sound. Today, I must treat you to this meal as an apology." When he led Old Wu to ransack the house last time, he had pocketed quite a bit. Grandee Song didn't need to worry about his finances, so he readily nodded:"Alright, then I'll trouble Brother Yi for this meal today! Next time you come to Plum Manor, I'll treat you all to a grand feast!"

"Haha, then it's a deal!" With everyone gathered, the food was quickly served, and the group ate and chatted happily.

"Brother Yi, then who is in charge of the Yellow Leaf Town Patrol Office now?"

"Hehehe, you know this person too, A'Que." Waiting for Song Que's curious gaze, Old Wu finally answered his question:"My eldest uncle said A'Fan isn't mature enough yet, so this time he will take my place and go to Yellow Leaf Town to gain experience. A'Que, your old brother knows you and A'Fan have some past grudges, but his nature is good. Give me some face and don't take it to heart, how about it?"

"Haha, Brother Yi, you speak too highly of it. It was just a minor matter; I've long since let it go." Song Que was telling the truth. He truly hadn't kept the matter in his heart, and he simultaneously didn't consider Wu Fan to be of any significance. Although Wu Yi didn't know what he was thinking, it was clear the two of them would have a hard time becoming friends in the future. This was fine too; at least they wouldn't be enemies. Thinking of this, he raised his cup:"Then I'll toast you on A'Fan's behalf!"

"Brother Yi, cheers!"

"To be honest, when I heard you managed to turn the Fierce Tiger Gang upside down all by yourself, I could hardly believe it. It feels like just yesterday you still needed me to teach you! Now, even my uncle is no longer your match. I truly don't know what level you'll reach in a few years, kid!" Recalling the past, Wu Yi was filled with boundless emotion.

"Haha, without you, Brother Yi, there wouldn't be the me of today. I will never forget your kindness."

"You're being too polite, A'Que. Even without me, you would have still achieved great things. I'm not trying to claim credit; I'm just proud. In the future, when you make a name for yourself in the world, someone might mention that I, Wu Yi, was the one who helped you step onto the martial path, and I'll bask in your reflected glory."

"Haha, Brother Yi! That day will definitely come, and all of our brothers will make a name for ourselves in the world together!" Song Que declared with a hearty laugh. His confidence infected everyone at the table. Feeling their blood boil with passion, they couldn't help but start toasting each other with large bowls of wine. That meal of reminiscing lasted until evening. It only ended when everyone except Boss Song, Xiong Ba, and Nie Feng had fallen under the table. This story has been stolen from Royal Road.

If you read it on Amazon, please report it Looking at the still-vibrant, foolish Bear, Boss Song was exceptionally curious. It went without saying for Old Nie; he had things on his mind and didn't want to drink much. Motherf cker, does this kid have a hack too?! I truly don't know what his body is made of! If it weren't for the Tesseract, I might have been drunk under the table by this idiot! What a f cking freak!... Looking at the people sprawled across the room, Song Que couldn't help but feel a headache.

He sent word for Guan Ping to come and take Guan Yu back. He instructed Old Nie and Xiong Ba to take Brother Hong and Li Xin back to Aunt Li's place. He himself called a carriage, brought Brother Yi along, and paid a visit to the Wu family. At the Wu family, he 'scanned his face' with Wu Tian and Wu Ping, sitting and chatting for a while before taking his leave. He stopped by the Li family to pick up Nie Feng's group and headed back to Plum Manor.

Although he was no longer overly fearful of the Lingjiang Gang, he didn't plan on going out much for the foreseeable future. After all, doing so could easily implicate the people around him. Having Xiong Ba take Zhong Hong back to his room, Song Que called Nie Feng back. The two sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and admiring the moon. After pondering for a moment, he spoke:"Old Nie, tomorrow you can send a letter to your sworn brother and ask if he'd be willing to come to Qinghe to develop."

Seeing Old Nie looking heavily burdened with his thoughts today, nine times out of ten, he was probably missing his family. Boss Song was afraid he would brood over it, so he decided to let him invite his sworn brother over to keep him company. Anyway, the Lingjiang Gang was already showing signs of making a move; he didn't need to act overly cautious anymore. Furthermore, since Nie Feng dared to guarantee it so strongly, his sworn brother's character was likely trustworthy.

Sure enough, upon hearing this good news, Nie Feng was overjoyed:"Really, Young Master?!"

"Mhm, but don't tell him the specifics first. You can write a letter inviting him to meet and probe him out. After all, it's better to be careful."

"Rest assured, Young Master. I absolutely wouldn't dare risk your safety. I plan to first bring Brother Shen to Qinghe, and then we will meet and decide based on the situation." Hearing that Old Nie had thought it through carefully, Song Que felt somewhat relieved.

"Good, then do it like that."

"Yes, Young Master. Let me go back and write the letter." Watching Nie Feng's joyful back, Boss Song spoke:"In the future, if you have anything on your mind, you can confide in me. Don't force yourself to hide it inside." Nie Feng's footsteps suddenly halted. He stood there silently for a long while before replying in a hoarse voice:"Understood, Young Master. Thank you." The south docks.

Waving his hand to dismiss the subordinates, Lin Ping narrowed his eyes and coldly asked the person sitting beside him:"Finally dare to show your face? I will write a letter to the Gang Leader later. Vice Hall Master Weng won't stop me this time, will you?"

"Giggle... am I that unreasonable? It's just a pity. Thinking of their robust bodies, this concubine feels truly reluctant." Watching this slut speak so brazenly right in front of him, Lin Ping frowned in disgust, snorted coldly, and turned his head, muttering something unintelligible. It wasn't clear if Weng Hong heard him, but she wasn't angry, continuing to pat her chest and giggle incessantly. Only, no one noticed the cold glint flashing deep within her eyes a few times....

The next day, Song Que went with Zhong Hong to the Shunfeng Escort Agency to visit the new headquarters under construction. Grandee Song fully displayed his charisma, warmly greeting and encouraging the employees below, making them feel the warm humanity of the organization. After feeding them a bowl of 'chicken soup for the soul' and painting a bright picture of the future, he took his leave and hid back in Plum Manor. For the following period, he returned to the lifestyle he had at the Black Iron Stronghold.

Every day, aside from fighting fiercely with Xiong Ba and Nie Feng, he nurtured his group of 'boss-level' pets. One day, not long after seeing off Wu Yi and Guan Yu, who had come over for a free meal, Old Man Le from the gatehouse ran in:"Young Master, someone outside said to hand this letter over to you." Taking the letter and reading it, Song Que's brows furrowed tightly:"Where is the person?"

"He left. He was from an escort agency. He handed me the letter and immediately rode off on his horse." Nodding to dismiss Old Man Le, Song Que switched his vision to Lightning to see who had sent him the letter. It was an ordinary, unfamiliar person; he was likely just commissioned by someone. After returning to Qinghe City, he entered a courtyard where several people were wearing similar uniforms. It seemed he really was from an escort agency, just as he said.

Returning to his room, Song Que pondered for a moment before summoning Old Nie's group.

"A'Que, is something wrong?"

"Young Master, you were looking for me?"

"Read the letter first." Once everyone had gathered, Song Que passed the newly received letter to them to read. The atmosphere grew exceptionally heavy, and everyone fell into silent thought. After a long while, it was Nie Feng who spoke first:"Young Master, it's better to believe it exists than not. We must take precautions against this matter."

"Brother Nie is right. Although we don't know who sent the letter, it's better for us to be on guard. We could go hide somewhere for a while first." Zhong Hong also agreed with this view. The kid Xiong Ba naturally didn't know how to offer advice. He just stared eagerly at Boss Song, waiting for orders. Hearing the two speak, Song Que nodded:"We must definitely take precautions, but there's no need to hide."

His eyes flashed with killing intent:"Doesn't the letter say it's not just Lin Ping, Lu Tianxiong, and a few Second-Tier experts from the Lingjiang Gang coming to assassinate me? Today, I will make sure they come but never return!" Raising his hand to stop Zhong Hong, who wanted to say more, Boss Song decisively ordered:"Tonight, Old Nie and Xiong Ba will come with me to ambush the villains. Brother Hong, you go find a place to hide temporarily, just in case any slip through the net and enter Plum Manor.

Don't worry, it's just a bunch of insignificant fry; I haven't even put them in my eyes yet." Zhong Hong didn't practice martial arts, so he wasn't clear on Song Que's current strength. But seeing him so confident, he felt somewhat relieved. Knowing he couldn't help with this matter, he decided not to add to their troubles, only repeatedly urging them to be extra careful.

After reassuring Brother Hong and giving Old Nie and Xiong Ba a few more instructions, the group returned to their respective rooms to rest and nourish their spirits, awaiting the fierce battle tonight.
