Chapter 84: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

After several days, that person finally couldn’t sit still any longer.

Song Shiyan’s third younger brother, Song Shijian, brought people to Song Qingyang’s house, claiming to be cleaning up the family on behalf of Song Shiyan.

Without even seeking the consent of Song Yichen, the heir, he had Song Qingyang arrested.

But not long after the arrest, Jiang Zihan appeared outside Song Shijian’s courtyard with Gu Jingxuan.

“Young Master Gu, this is a family matter of the Song family, are you going to interfere as well?”

“Family matter? Since when are you in charge of the Song family’s affairs? I don’t care what Song Yichen does with you, but Zihan is my sister. If anyone dares to bully her, it’s not just a family matter of the Song family.”

Gu Jingxuan frowned, leaning against the car behind him, a group of bodyguards on either side. Jiang Zihan was still sitting in the car and hadn’t come out.

“Song Qingyang even dared to commit patricide. Even if this matter goes to the Xiao family in the political world, I’m still justified. And is Young Master Gu comfortable with such a person by Miss Jiang’s side?”

“That’s none of your concern. I’ll give you ten seconds to release him, or I’ll wipe out your entire villa.”

Gu Jingxuan seemed a little impatient. The people on both sides were also itching to make a move. Song Shijian looked at Gu Jingxuan with a non-smiling expression, clenching his fist. The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down.

Gu Jingxuan’s people began to count down. Song Shijian’s expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat unable to control the situation.

The people behind him also began to scrutinize each other, their faces full of fear.

“Ten…nine…three…”

“Release Song Qingyang.”

When the count reached three, Song Shijian finally relented and said loudly.

Gu Jingxuan laughed and turned to get into the car.

Song Qingyang was released and got into the car Jiang Zihan was in.

Several cars sped away in front of Song Shijian. The people beside him approached Song Shijian: “Young Master, are we just going to let Song Qingyang go like this?”

“If we don’t let him go, who will fight with Song Yichen internally?”

After Song Shijian finished speaking, he smiled and turned to enter the house.

“That grandson Song Yichen is just tolerating Song Shijian.”

Gu Jingxuan cursed loudly, then looked at Song Qingyang.

“Do you want the current Song family?”

Song Qingyang didn’t expect that things would really develop as his brother said. Song Yichen really understood Gu Jingxuan.

“Young Master Gu, I’m sorry, we deceived you.”

Song Qingyang looked at Gu Jingxuan with a complicated expression. Just because Gu Jingxuan genuinely treated Jiang Zihan as his sister, he couldn’t keep deceiving Gu Jingxuan.

…

Song Qingyang honestly explained the process of the matter, including his and Song Yichen’s plan. He thought Gu Jingxuan would be angry at being deceived.

But after Gu Jingxuan heard it, he just laughed heartily: “I knew it, when did Song Yichen become so stupid? Tell your brother, he owes me a favor.”

Gu Jingxuan began to calculate in his heart what compensation he should ask Song Yichen for after the matter was over, for using him as a pawn.

The two of them had disliked each other for so long, but he never expected that Song Yichen would ask for his help. Then he shouldn’t blame him for demanding a hefty price.

“Of course, when the matter is over, my brother and I will definitely pay a visit to express our thanks.”

Gu Jingxuan just responded faintly and didn’t say anything else.

“Song Qingyang, but now the truth is very obvious. That person is your third uncle. He’s the Song Chairman’s most beloved younger brother. What are you going to do?”

“From the moment he attacked my father, he was no longer a member of my Song family.”

Song Qingyang’s eyes were firm, and his eyes contained a hint of murderous intent, making him look a little terrifying.

Gu Jingxuan looked at Song Qingyang. After this incident, Song Qingyang could be considered to have gained some experience and wouldn’t be as naive as before.

This was also good. In the past, Song Yichen had protected him too well. His temperament was so gentle that he didn’t resemble a member of the Four Great Families at all, and he had never even seen blood. How could such a person take care of Jiang Zihan in the future?

At this time, Song Shijian also arrived at Song Manor, shouting outside to see Song Yichen.

Song Yichen had known that he would come and made preparations, not letting Shen Xingyang replace him.

“Don’t let him in, let him make a scene for a while.”

Song Yichen took the wine and sprinkled it on himself. He smelled the wine on his body, making sure there were no flaws, then took a few sips from the wine glass.

Outside, there was a lot of noise for a long time. Those people saw that it was almost enough, and pretending to be unable to stop Song Shijian, they let him in.

“Young Master Song, I’m sorry, Third Master Song insisted on coming in.”

Song Yichen squinted his hazy eyes, half-lying on the sofa, his pajamas wrinkled all over.

He raised his wine glass and showed a smile to Song Shijian.

“Third Uncle, you’ve come, have a drink with me.”

“Song Yichen.”

Song Shijian angrily stepped forward and slapped the wine glass out of Song Yichen’s hand. The sound of glass shattering made everyone present unconsciously look at the two of them, their eyes full of anxiety, afraid that the two would fight.

“Song Yichen, you are the heir of the Song family. Now that your elder brother is seriously injured and unconscious, you must support the Song family. But now, the person who harmed your elder brother is openly relying on the Gu family to fight for the Song family, but you have been so decadent. If your elder brother wakes up and sees you like this, I’m afraid he would rather never wake up.”

Song Shijian looked at Song Yichen righteously and accused him, his eyes seemingly full of righteousness. At this moment, he seemed to be a dignified elder, teaching an ignorant nephew.

“Then what can I do? That’s my own younger brother, my only younger brother. Third Uncle came here this time, wanting me to attack my own younger brother?”

Song Yichen heard these words, and it seemed as if he suddenly woke up from his drunkenness. He stood up and slapped the table, shouting in extreme collapse.

His eyes were filled with tears, and his bloodshot eyes all showed his fatigue and despair in recent days.

Song Shijian scrutinized Song Yichen. From Song Yichen, he only saw collapse and despair. His own younger brother wanted to kill his father.

No matter what, Song Yichen was only not yet thirty years old. It was normal for him to be like this now. If he didn’t react at all, Song Shijian would suspect that there was a trick.

Song Shijian sighed helplessly, patting Song Yichen’s shoulder with a kind expression to show comfort.

“Yichen, Third Uncle knows it’s difficult for you to accept this truth, but now that your elder brother is unconscious, the Song family must have someone who can take responsibility. You’re not young anymore, you can’t continue to act recklessly. Third Uncle didn’t say that you must do anything to Song Qingyang, but he’s colluding with the Gu family. Even for your elder brother’s safety, you should first control him.”

“Third Uncle, my family’s affairs are none of your concern.”

Song Yichen looked sad and didn’t even bother to pay attention to Song Shijian. He leaned on the sofa back alone, silently looking at the ceiling.

“Song Yichen, you’re the heir of the Song family, can you take responsibility?”

“If Third Uncle wants to interfere so much, then do it yourself. Don’t order me to attack my only younger brother here.”

Song Yichen frowned and said irritably before going upstairs, leaving Song Shijian alone in place.

But Song Shijian didn’t leave for a long time. He smiled and finished drinking the tea in his hand before preparing to leave.

At this time, Song Yichen looked at him from the second floor and called out “Third Uncle”.

“Yichen, have you thought it through?”

“No, I just remembered some old things. I remember when my father first returned to the country, his power was unstable, and many people attacked my father. That year, it was you, Third Uncle, who, despite everyone’s opposition, brought people to arrest those who were secretly undermining my father’s efforts, one by one. My father and I will never forget this kindness.”

Song Shijian looked at Song Yichen’s smiling appearance, confused, not understanding why Song Yichen suddenly mentioned these old things.

But now he had no feelings in his heart. If it weren’t for Song Shiyan, how could he have lost so many confidants? Song Shiyan was the head of the Song family, but he didn’t leave him any way out.

“Those are all things of the past. Besides, this is what I should do.”

After Song Shijian said this, he stepped away and left.

Song Yichen narrowed his eyes, looking at Song Shijian’s departing figure, and sneered.

He actually wanted to use these past events to make Song Shijian stop. It was quite ridiculous.

He had suspected everyone, including Song Qingyang, but he had never thought about Song Shijian.
