Chapter 418: Martyrs!
Song Yun was woken up by a phone call in his sleep.
After answering the call, he learned that someone had attacked the Grey Deer Research Institute tonight. Luckily, the Snow Leopard squad's defense was first-rate, and they had barely held their ground.
"Damn it, can't they just let me have a good night's sleep!"
Song Yun hurriedly got dressed, pulled Ouyang Jie from his bed, and the two drove there together.
As soon as they parked at the institute, they could smell a strong scent of blood from afar.
Song Yun's face turned grim as he swiped his card to enter and saw more than a dozen unconscious or bound villains piled up in the corner, while four members of the Snow Leopard squad were injured and getting bandaged.
"President Song, mission accomplished!"
The captain of the Snow Leopard squad said seriously, "These villains all have exceptional skills and were carrying lethal weapons. They must be the elite of the enemy!"
"Good, I've already notified the Falcon squad. When they arrive, you guys can take a few days off. Those of the Snow Leopard squad who are injured should go to the hospital for treatment, and those who are not can rest in the villa."
Song Yun saw the captain of the Snow Leopard squad open his mouth as if he wanted to say something, and immediately understood that the other party was planning to stay on the front line despite the injuries. He raised his hand to interrupt, "This is for your own good. After one attack, the enemy definitely won't be able to gather people for a second one so soon.
What you need to do is to get yourselves ready for the final battle!"
"Yes!"
The captain of the Snow Leopard squad stood straight and shouted, "Then what about these people? Although the three squads are all good at fighting, we really lack skills in interrogation."
"Don't worry, I'll interrogate them myself."
Song Yun looked at those villains with a hint of a smile.
More than ten minutes later, two vans arrived at the entrance of the institute. All members of the Falcon squad had assembled and took over from the Snow Leopard squad. Then the ten of them began their defense work.
"President Song, aren't you coming back with us?"
The captain of the Snow Leopard squad asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, you guys go first. I've arranged for the hospital to pick people up from the villa. I'll go home to sleep once I'm done here."
Song Yun said amiably, smiling.
Half an hour later, the vans that had taken the Snow Leopard squad members back to the villa returned, and this time they loaded the villains into the vehicles and came to a warehouse with Song Yun leading.
"You two, go out and wait for a while. This will be over soon."
After sending the two drivers away, Song Yun looked at the now conscious villains and laughed.
"Is there anyone who can explain today's events to me properly?"
"Pah! Song Gou! Even in death, I would not betray the young master!"
No sooner had the man spoken than he bit down on his teeth and black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth; he was dead in an instant!
"Okay, twelve left. Do the rest of you want to commit suicide too?"
Song Yun said indifferently, "If you're really that loyal, I'm too lazy to ask. How about this, I'll give you one minute to think about it. Those who want to die, go ahead. I won't stop you."
The remaining people looked at each other. They had never seen someone like this—shouldn't he severely torture them upon bringing them to this place? Shouldn't he immediately stop the others upon witnessing someone's death?
What's going on???
God damn it, does my life really seem that cheap in their eyes???
"Ten seconds left!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
"Song Gou, even if I die today, I'll still be a hero in twenty years! And my family will be well looked after by the young master! Just wait for the young master to behead you!"
"Good, another one dead."
"Time's up!"
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
After Song Yun finished the countdown, several people contemplated and then simultaneously bit down on the poison capsules in their teeth.
"Tch, what's the matter with the six of you? Too scared to live, too scared to die?"
Song Yun sighed and said, "Since you're afraid to die, then talk. Who is this so-called young master of yours? What are his plans?"
"..."
"Not talking, not dying, are you trying to waste my damn time?"
Song Yun suddenly burst into a rage, kicking a thug seated on the ground and sending him flying. The man's back slammed viciously against the wall, and he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
"I really don't want to waste words with you guys. Are you going to talk or not!"
"Ptui! Go ahead with whatever you've got! If grandpa so much as cries out in pain, I'll take your surname!"
One of the thugs turned his head and spat at Song Yun.
"Heh heh..."
Song Yun smiled, nodding his head as he said, "You said it."
With that, he walked toward the thug.
Outside the warehouse, two drivers huddled together, smoking. Hearing the continuous screams from inside, they couldn't help but shudder.
"Boss Song..."
"Shh! Don't meddle in the boss's business! Just do your job well, and it's best you forget everything about tonight!"
"Oh oh... Brother Wang, you're the senior here, you should look out for your junior more in these matters."
"Of course, don't worry about it. Boss Song isn't stingy. You just wait for a raise when you get back!"
"You two, come in."
Song Yun's voice came from inside the warehouse; the two men exchanged glances, extinguished their cigarettes, slapped their faces to get ready, and walked in.
"You've worked hard tonight. Just take these people to the police station and then go home to sleep."
Song Yun said indifferently.
The two drivers curiously glanced at the thugs and saw that, aside from a few who committed suicide by poison, the rest were struck with terror, and even some had wet themselves, emitting an extremely foul odor. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
"Let's head back."
Ouyang Jie nodded and took the initiative to drive.
By the time the two arrived back at the Huashou Villa, Song Bu had already woken up and was waiting for them in the living room.
"Find out anything?"
"There were over a hundred members from the hidden families who came to Magic Capital, led by two so-called young masters. The one who ordered tonight's attack on the research institute was Young Master Ying."
Song Yun lit a cigarette to refresh himself and said, "The rest of it, these lackeys don't know much, and I can't be bothered to dig deeper."
"More than a hundred people, that's quite a force."
"I just wish I knew where they were staying so I could pay them a visit and kill them all!"
Song Yun said coldly.
"Heh, they'll surface eventually."
Song Bu tried to reassure him, "You can't just send everyone out to scour the streets, can you?"
"Why not!"
Ouyang Jie spoke up, "What about those thirteen experts? Can we use them?"
"Right!"
Song Yun smacked his thigh, shouting excitedly, "They're doing nothing anyway, might as well..."
"Forget it, those people are too proud for their own good. The fact they agreed to help you is already surprising. Do you think you can compel them to do your bidding?"
Song Bu interjected skeptically, "And aren't you afraid that once they leave, the hidden family's people might sneak in and attack the villa or the research institute?"
"Argh! So frustrating! Damn it, one of these days, I'm going to drag all these rats out of the shadows and into the blazing sun!"
