Qu Lin seemed to have only come to annoy Song Yanqing. She sat in the chair for a short while, then answered a phone call and left. She came and went in a hurry.
Before leaving, she left Shang Shujue card, saying that he could look her up when he visited the Song Family, and she could take him to see some of the famous historical sites nearby, and then she would leave gracefully.
" Song Yanqing, Qu Lin's way of doing things is really unrestrained, isn't it? Even more carefree than me."
As Shang Shujue spoke, he almost chuckled to himself. He picked up the business card, examined it closely, and then raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's a company job title card," he thought. "Does this mean they're planning to collaborate?"
"She is a very ambitious and shrewd woman, but in the relatively traditional Song Family family, women have no right to inheritance; this is a remnant of feudal dregs."
When Song Yanqing said this, his tone was very calm, revealing no emotion, and it sounded more like an objective statement about the matter.
"However, I do think that if the Song Family falls into her hands, it might not be unable to maintain its current glory, and might even reach a higher level."
"But now, the direction she's heading seems a bit wrong."
Competing for power with someone who has already been chosen as heir is certainly not a wise move. She should have found another way, but unfortunately, she had no other choice.
Shang Shujue raised her eyebrows slightly, just as she was about to say something, another person walked over. The person who came was a man wearing a mask.
"You're Shang Shujue, right?"
Shang Shujue paused slightly, turned her head to look, and saw only a pair of bloodshot eyes. The rest of her face was completely covered up, and no facial information could be seen. Moreover, her tone was very aggressive, not like a fan, but more like someone looking for trouble.
"Yes, it is. What do you need?"
Shang Shujue instantly became alert. Living in the spotlight for many years had made him wary and suspicious of people dressed similarly. Most of them were either obsessive fans or extreme haters, the kind of brainless idiots who could kill you.
But before confirming, Shang Shujue wouldn't reveal too much emotion, and his tone of reply was relatively calm. Song Yanqing had already stood up, and he would immediately intervene if the man made any unnecessary movements.
"So you really are Shang Shujue! It's all because of you that my wife aborted my child?! This is my only child, you're going to compensate me?!"
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
Upon hearing that Shang Shujue had confirmed his identity, the man immediately went berserk and kicked Shang Shujue. Shang Shujue reacted quickly and dodged to the side. Song Yanqing nimbly darted over and pulled him behind her to protect him.
The man kicked the table, causing it and chairs to overturn instantly. The hot soup pot and vegetables on the table spilled onto the floor with a heavy thud.
The man paid no heed to any of that, his eyes bloodshot as he pulled a gleaming dagger from his waist.
Song Yanqing and Shang Shujue frowned deeply. After exchanging a glance, they thought of Qu Lin, who had come and gone in such a hurry. Could this woman really be so tasteless?
"Ah--baby! It's okay, it's okay, Mommy's here!"
"Ah! Murder! Someone's murdered!"
"Oh my god! What happened?!"
"Ouch! Damn! Tangtang, my hand... Ugh!"
"Don't shout! Run out and call the police! This is clearly a terrorist crime scene!"
The man's kick indirectly harmed innocent diners nearby. A child was nearly pierced in the forehead by flying shards of ceramic hair, but his mother reacted quickly and pulled him into her arms to avoid it.
The entire restaurant descended into chaos instantly, filled with screams and terrified shouts as people fled in panic, avoiding the scene of the incident like the plague.
When the restaurant manager learned of the incident, he immediately called the police and rushed over with security guards. If someone died in the restaurant, not only would his job be ruined, but his entire life would likely be destroyed!
"It's all your fault! I'm going to kill you! Give me back my child! I tried so hard, why did she kill my child! It's all because of you! If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have aborted my child?!"
"Damn it! Are you out of your mind?! You're blaming me for your family's problems?! Song Yanqing, get off me!"
The man, oblivious to the panic around him, grabbed his dagger and charged forward.
Upon hearing this again, Shang Shujue finally understood the gist of it. In an instant, anger surged within him. He kicked aside Song Yanqing, who was blocking his way, and rushed over as well.
"Shang Shu..." Song Yanqing steadied himself in a panic and turned around. He called out the name halfway through when he saw Shang Shujue nimbly dodge the man's dagger.
He kicked him in the side, knocking the dagger from his hand as he cried out in pain. Then, with an over-the-shoulder throw and a backhand lift, he subdued the man. He even looked up and shouted, "It's alright! Everyone, don't run around, to avoid trampling and injury! Please call the police!"
Song Yanqing: "..." Oh, I almost forgot, this guy specially studied martial arts for a year in order to play the role of a martial arts alliance leader. Although he changed bodies, he didn't forget any of the knowledge he learned. He can easily deal with ordinary people.
"Run! I still have a family to support, I can't lose this high-paying job... Holy crap!"
When the restaurant manager arrived with security, all he saw was Shang Shujue pinning the man to the ground and casually picking up a napkin that had fallen to the floor to tie his hands together. He was stunned for a moment, his CPU seemingly fried.
"Who... who is the thug?"
" Manager Zhang! You're finally here! The guy who was tied up is a thug. It was that little star who tied him up who subdued him. You know that little star, right? The one who got yelled at so badly... her name is... her name is..."
As soon as Manager Zhang finished speaking, a wealthy woman with a strong Guangdong accent, who was filming next to him, spoke up, but she didn't usually follow celebrities.
I remember seeing a handsome young man among the celebrities her daughter idolized, a guy who was involved in many controversies, but I don't know his name.
" Shang Shujue, did you twist your wrist?"
Just then, Song Yanqing took a deep breath and walked to Shang Shujue's side. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but very clear, so the rich woman immediately quoted him.
"Yes, yes, that's Shang Shujue! Manager Zhang, you really need to thank him properly, otherwise your restaurant's losses would be even greater..."
"Hey! Why did you leave before I finished speaking? That's rude of you, young man..."
Manager Zhang stopped listening to the rich woman. He knew who it was the moment he heard the name, and when he saw Song Yanqing, he felt like the sky was falling.
Song Yanqing, isn't he the boss's white moonlight, his darling? Every day when he goes to the office to report on his work, the poster hanging on the wall is of him.
The proud son of the Songhui Aristocratic Family... not long ago he openly defended Shang Shujue, making his master experience the pain of heartbreak, and then just a few days later he started engaging in a life-or-death feud...
He was having a bit of a headache. He decided to send a message to his employer; who knew she might be in a good mood and give him a raise, or waive the small fine for mismanagement?
