Song Qi was able to learn in advance that Lin Feng had purchased Xinxin Building. Although Song Xin was a bit slow to find out since Lin Feng did not personally inform him, the intelligence network of the Song Family in City B, a mid-level city, was no mere decoration. Before long, with Lin Feng's deliberate push, Song Xin also learned about Lin Feng buying Xinxin Building.
Upon hearing this news, Song Xin, who had just been beaten up by Lin Feng and was still nursing his injuries, smashed everything he could in the hospital room. However, this still couldn't vent the anger he felt inside; he knew this was a provocation from Lin Feng.
At that moment, he dialed his father Song Lie's phone number. For someone like Song Xin, the only way he could think of retaliating was to use the power of Song Gang to deal with Lin Feng.
On the other end, Song Lie was also aware that Lin Feng had bought Xinxin Building. Normally, if it were any other time, Song Lie would not care about something like Lin Feng spending over ten million to buy Xinxin Building. However, at this sensitive moment, the implications of Lin Feng purchasing Xinxin Building were not lost on him; he certainly did not believe it was as simple as it appeared.
At this moment, he was discussing with his own strategist what to do next.
Naturally, Song Lie's thoughts were far beyond what his reckless son could comprehend. He was more concerned about Lin Feng's intentions and how Song Gang should respond.
Just as he and his strategist were formulating a rough plan for handling the situation, his phone rang.
"Hello... Xiao Xin, what's wrong?" Song Lie knew very well why Song Xin was calling him at this time, but he pretended to be confused and asked.
"Dad, that brat Lin Feng beat me up like this and now he's acquired Xinxin Building. I made it clear before that anyone who dares to lend money to that surname Dong or buy the Xinxin Building owned by him is going against me. Dad, you have to stand up for me," Song Xin said directly. Usually, when faced with such matters, he wouldn't even need to tell Song Lie. A call to some small leaders in Song Gang would suffice for them to handle things satisfactorily.
But he knew that Lin Feng was not an ordinary person and that he was currently very strong. That's why he called his father—to have him take action for his sake.
"I know about this matter. You just stay in the hospital and don't cause any more trouble. I will handle it," Song Lie did not directly refuse his son's request. He knew better than anyone how reckless his son could be, but no matter how reckless, Song Xin was still his son.
However, there was no indication in Song Lie's tone that he intended to take revenge or restore honor for Song Xin. He understood that this might be one of Lin Feng's schemes aimed at provoking a response from Song Gang. If that happened, then it would leave Song Gang without justification for taking action.
In fact, if one were to say that Song Lie did not plan to deal with Lin Feng because it would be unjustified, that would be nonsense. It wasn't the first time that Song Gang, despite being in the wrong, dealt with others. The main reason was that Lin Feng's strength was not something ordinary people could easily handle; dealing with him would require considerable effort.
Ultimately, it came down to a matter of strength.
Well then, no matter how strong Lin Feng is, he can't possibly take on an entire Song Gang, right? However, Song Lie also knew that right now, the enemies of Song Gang were not just limited to Lin Feng. There was also another force—Qian Bang, which was equally strong if not stronger than Song Gang. If he got entangled with Lin Feng, what would happen if Qian Bang took advantage of the situation to attack?
This issue is the major problem that limits Song Gang, and it is also the reason why Lin Feng dares to provoke Song Gang. Lin Feng knows that Song Gang is currently besieged by enemies in front and behind, making it difficult for him to maneuver.
“Dad... Lin Feng is currently riding on our heads and shitting on us. If you don't take care of him, how will people in the underworld view us, Song Gang? How will you survive in this world?” Song Xin isn't too foolish; he understands his father's intentions. At this moment, to vent his own frustrations, he doesn't consider Song Gang at all. He is just trying to persuade his father to take action against Lin Feng, even going so far as to argue that if they don't deal with Lin Feng, Song Gang won't be able to survive in the underworld.
In fact, Song Lie also understands the importance of face in this line of work. If they are provoked by someone like Lin Feng without any response, it would indeed be too humiliating.
However, if maintaining this face comes at the cost of the entire decline or collapse of Song Gang, then it's better not to pursue it.
Face is important, but if there’s no longer a Song Gang, what good is face?
Thus, Song Lie decides to observe the situation and see how things develop. At the same time, he feels anger towards Song Xin as well; if it weren't for this reckless kid provoking someone like Lin Feng, he wouldn't be facing any troubles right now.
At that moment, Song Lie no longer holds back and shouts into the phone: “You little brat dare to say that? Aren't these problems all caused by you? I'm telling you, stay put! I'm hanging up.”
After saying that, Song Lie really hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Song Xin knows that this matter is non-negotiable. However, thinking about Lin Feng's provocation against him, he still cannot swallow his pride. Moreover, even if he does swallow it now, once he gets out of the hospital and encounters people from their circle, how can he face them as Young Master Song if he was provoked and didn't dare to speak up? If word gets out about this, how can he maintain his dignity?
After weighing his options repeatedly, the pampered Song Xin ultimately cannot sit still and comes up with a plan.
Without hesitation, Song Xin calls Song Lie again.
“Have you thought it through?” Seeing that Song Xin is calling again, Song Lie asks.
“Yeah, I’ve thought it through. As long as I have my life intact, I won’t worry about future opportunities. For now, I’ll tolerate Lin Feng for a while. One day when I find an opportunity, I will make sure Lin Feng suffers.” Knowing that his father would definitely not support him in seeking revenge against Lin Feng, Song Xin says.
To be honest, Song Lie's acting skills are quite impressive; he speaks convincingly enough that even though he is clearly astonished by his son's words regarding Lin Feng's lesson on him, he feels relieved that his son has grown up and understands the importance of considering the bigger picture.
However, despite feeling pleased, Song Lie doesn’t show much of it and replies: “That’s good to hear. Is there anything else?”
"I won't provoke Lin Feng right now. Who knows if Lin Feng will take action against me if he sees I'm not doing anything? You know how much he hates me. I'm still recovering in the Hospital, constantly on edge, afraid that Lin Feng might suddenly appear and harm me. Even Song Ran isn't a match for Lin Feng; if he wants to kill me, it would be as easy as pie." Song Xin, having calmed his father down, began to vent his fears, his tone filled with terror and anxiety.
"That's true. How about this: I'll send Song Wu and Song Liu to protect you. You can feel at ease now, right?" Song Lie acknowledged his son's reasoning. After all, Song Xin was his only precious child. If Lin Feng were to kill him, it would mean the end of their line. Thus, he spoke up.
Song Wu and Song Liu were orphans raised by the Song Family since childhood, possessing exceptional talents and considered two of the top members of the Song Gang. They had broken through to Internal Energy years ago, and both Song Xin and Song Lie believed they would be more than enough to handle Lin Feng.
This was exactly what Song Xin meant; as long as his father sent someone to protect him, that person would have to follow his orders, right? When the time came, he could have them trouble Lin Feng. Although he knew this would likely earn him a scolding, he was willing to go through with it just to teach Lin Feng a lesson. After all, his father only had him as a son; at most, he would just get yelled at.
"I warn you, Song Wu and Song Liu are here to protect you. Don't let them act recklessly!" Song Lie wasn't foolish either, but he chose to trust his son. After all, his son's safety was extremely important to him.
"Got it, Dad. If you have any plans to deal with Lin Feng, let me know. I want to see Lin Feng fall before my eyes." At this moment, Song Xin was already thinking about how to get Song Wu and Song Liu to create trouble for Lin Feng. However, to reassure his father, he added one more thing.
After that, once Song Lie hung up the phone, Song Xin also ended the call.
An hour later, Song Wu and Song Liu appeared before Song Xin. They had been ordered to protect the Young Master and naturally did not dare delay.
"Young Master, Master sent us to protect you. Just focus on your recovery," they said respectfully yet confidently as they addressed him.
"Okay, let me ask you: how does the Song Family treat you?" Instead of responding directly to them, Song Xin asked a question.
"The kindness of the Song Family is like being reborn; we brothers have no way to repay it," replied Song Wu and Song Liu straightforwardly.
Indeed, it was the Song Family that had allowed them to survive; it was the Song Family that had given them skills; it was also the Song Family that provided them with power and status so they could enjoy life as those above others.
"That's good. It's great that you can remember this kindness; it shows that the Song Family's efforts in raising you were not in vain. Now, I have a task for you," said Song Xin with satisfaction after hearing their response.
"But Young Master, Master only gave us one task: to protect you. Master also said not to act recklessly," said Song Lie when they arrived; they had been instructed not to casually agree to any requests from Song Xin.
"Heh... Old Master is getting old. Besides, Old Master only has me as a son; isn't the foundation of the Song Gang bound to eventually fall into my hands? If you help me out today, I won't treat you poorly in the future," began Song Xin in a persuasive manner, aiming to get them to agree to his request.
Song Xin's request was naturally aimed at dealing with Lin Feng.
In Song Xin's view, if the two of them teamed up, it would be more than enough to handle Lin Feng. He couldn't understand why the Old Master was unwilling to take action against Lin Feng.
Before Song Wu and Song Liu could say anything, Song Xin continued, "Of course, if you don't agree, then when I take over my father's power, I don't know what will happen to you."
Song Xin's words were phrased delicately, but many things didn't need to be stated so explicitly; everyone was not foolish.
Song Xin was not a fool, at least he didn't think so.
Song Wu and Song Liu exchanged glances; their communication didn't require words. Soon, they both understood each other's decision and nodded at one another.
"Alright, we agree. We hope that Young Master will support us in the future," Song Wu and Song Liu said in unison.
"Yes, those who recognize the times are true heroes. I won't forget you," Song Xin casually made promises, as he only wanted to take revenge on Lin Feng and let Lin Feng know that the title of Young Master of the Song Family was not just for show.
At that moment, Song Xin tore off the IV drip, put on his clothes, and planned to confront Lin Feng.
He felt frustrated staying in the hospital for even a moment; he wouldn't feel satisfied until he had Lin Feng under his foot.
