Chapter 164 Tong Anjin's Plea
"Dad, you want me to apologize to him? I'm the one who'll suffer!"
Song Wenjie became even more agitated and roared angrily.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Song Yucheng's gaze was cold and fierce.
Song Wenjie immediately fell silent.
He knew it was terrifying when his father made that face.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have parked the car where I shouldn't have," Song Wenjie said, suppressing his anger as he turned around and walked out of the law firm.
His face was very gloomy; perhaps he needed to vent his anger elsewhere.
Xiao Chen watched silently.
He had no idea what the head of the Song family was up to.
Did they find out his true identity?
"Those who knew my identity as the King of the Underworld are basically all dead. These two rebel forces in Jiang City should still be unaware of it," Xiao Chen pondered.
That's right, the Song family, one of the top families in Jiang City, was originally one of the families that belonged to the Underworld Palace.
The Song family was established with the support of his teacher and the previous generation of Hades.
In the later years of his reign, the teacher went into seclusion in the southern city and stopped managing the affairs of the Underworld Palace, which led some of his subordinate forces to develop other ideas.
After Xiao Chen took office, a situation arose where people outwardly complied but inwardly defied him.
Two subordinate forces in Jiang City never responded to the Underworld Palace after he took power: a family force and a gang force.
After Song Wenjie left, Song Yucheng's cold expression vanished, replaced by a friendly smile.
"Young Brother Xiao Chen, you've managed to develop the Rejuvenation Pill at such a young age; you have a bright future ahead of you," he said with a smile.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless.
People who switch between these roles so easily are generally not good people.
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not respond, Song Yucheng felt slightly embarrassed.
"I've heard that you've also developed a drug that can prolong life. That's truly a remarkable achievement, and I imagine you'll soon be famous throughout the land," he continued to flatter.
Xiao Chen frowned.
Although outside the courtroom, they are fully aware of what is happening inside...
"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush," Xiao Chen said calmly.
Song Yucheng's expression faltered slightly.
"It's nothing. My Song family naturally wants to befriend such an outstanding talent," he said with a smile.
"I have no interest in associating with you," Xiao Chen said impatiently, opening the car door to get in.
A cold glint flashed in Song Yucheng's eyes.
"Xiao Chen, how about selling the patents for the Rejuvenating Pill and the Longevity Medicine to my Song family?" he said with a smile.
Xiao Chen stopped what he was doing and looked at him indifferently.
So they came for the medicine.
"You're still young, there are some things you can't control," Song Yucheng chuckled.
"A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Even the Xiao family may not be able to protect you. It's best to be prudent and protect yourself."
"Threatening me?" Xiao Chen's expression turned cold.
"This is just a piece of advice." Song Yucheng's smile remained unchanged as he continued, "The Xiao family is indeed a formidable force in Jiang City, but there are always behemoths stronger than them. Even your main family in the capital city seems insignificant in comparison."
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and said, "Are you talking about the Heavenly King's Palace?"
Song Yucheng's smile froze.
Without needing to answer, Xiao Chen knew that the Heavenly King Palace had already made contact with the Song family.
During his time in Jiang City, Xiao Yichen had made numerous contacts with various forces, all in an effort to win over the hearts and minds of the people and recruit soldiers for the Heavenly King Palace.
"Since you know this, you should have a sense of awe," Song Yucheng said, his smile fading.
"Go back and tell your master that those two medicines are in my hands, and no one can get them," Xiao Chen said coldly.
"By the way, I'd also like to give the Song family a piece of advice: traitors never have a good ending. Tell the Song family to enjoy life while they can, because time is running out."
After saying that, Xiao Chen got into the car and slammed the door shut.
Song Yucheng frowned, pondering Xiao Chen's words.
He didn't know what Xiao Chen knew, and his expression gradually darkened.
He was actually threatened in return.
"Uncle Song!"
Tong Anjin ran out of the courtroom and saw Song Yucheng as if he were her savior, so she rushed over.
"Uncle Song, please save my dad, please save the Tong family! I promise to be a good and obedient daughter-in-law!" she pleaded, tears welling in her eyes.
Song Yucheng looked annoyed and shoved her away.
"What daughter-in-law? You're not worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Song family!" he said coldly.
Tong Anjin stared at him, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Wasn't the Song family head always very close to the Tong family? He even said he supported her relationship with Song Wenjie, so why did he suddenly turn his back on her?
Such indifference caught her completely off guard.
"Uncle Song, how could you..." Tong Anjin found it hard to accept.
"The Tong family is of no value anymore, so why should my Song family waste resources on them? You can fend for yourselves," Song Yucheng said ruthlessly, then turned and left.
Tong Anjin stood there blankly, so shocked that she was almost mentally disoriented.
Xiao Chen honked the car horn twice.
"Don't block my way, or I won't be responsible if you bump into me." He waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.
"Xiao Chen, you can't leave!" Tong Anjin snapped back to reality and immediately blocked the car.
"Tell me, what do I have to do for you to let my father go, and let the Tong family go?" she asked, crying.
She is now truly helpless and filled with despair.
"The Tong family deserves what it has today," Xiao Chen said calmly. "Before my teacher's support, the Tong family lived by begging. Now I'm just trying to let you return to your roots."
Tong Anjin looked terrified as she listened.
The engine starts, and the car is about to depart.
Tong Anjin threw herself onto the car.
"Xiao Chen, I'm begging you! I'm begging you to give the Tong family a way out, okay?" she shouted.
"Then we won't refuse the marriage agreement. I'm willing to marry you and serve you every day, okay?"
Xiao Chen felt even more disgusted.
Even Dongfang Ruyi in the passenger seat couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She used to ignore me, but now she's sticking to me like a leech...
“Miss Tong, you’re not worthy to serve me. Even a peasant woman is more attractive than you. Because you’re too smelly.”
"Hurry home and do the math. According to the verdict, I'm afraid all of your Tong family's assets right now won't be enough to cover the damages," Xiao Chen said indifferently, starting to shift gears.
“You…” Tong Anjin’s face contorted.
The humiliation filled her with resentment.
She humbled herself to beg Xiao Chen, but all she received in return was humiliation.
"If you've got the guts, then run me over!" she said fiercely.
Xiao Chen drove off expressionlessly, startling Tong Anjin so much that she turned pale and screamed.
With a sudden stop, Tong Anjin was thrown out and landed on the ground, bleeding profusely.
Then, Xiao Chen didn't even glance at him, and drove off in his Audi.
Tong Anjin felt both pain and hatred.
"Xiao Chen!!" she roared, her expression filled with madness.
"Are you trying to drive me to the brink of despair? You want the Tong family to hand over their assets? Dream on! You forced me into this situation, and even if it costs the Tong family the last bit of capital, I will fight you to the very end!"
