Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1223 - 1208: The Bride Becomes the Matriarch

By noon the next day, Song Yun was completely awake.

The first person Song Yun saw upon waking up was Qingluan, sitting by his bedside.

Song Yun had been worried about how his situation would ultimately turn out, but seeing Qingluan made his heart totally calm.

"You’re awake."

Qingluan looked at Song Yun with a smile.

"Yeah."

Song Yun reached up to touch his head, but felt a sharp pain in his neck.

"Don’t move," Qingluan said, "The doctor said you have severe bone damage that requires rest, even though they’ve used some medicine on you, it doesn’t mean you’ll recover immediately."

"Yeah." Song Yun responded with a hum, then asked, "What’s the situation now?"

"We won."

Qingluan said, "After your duel with Song Kunhu, he retreated with his men, and Jue Wu and the others didn’t stop them much. Of course, all six Dragon Envoys were injured, and Monkey was crippled by Jue Wu."

"Jue Wu is so awesome?" Song Yun said in surprise.

"Yeah, Jue Wu and Monkey seemed to have a huge grudge. As soon as they met, they confronted each other, but ultimately Jue Wu was superior."

"What about the others?" Song Yun asked.

"After Song Kunhu retreated, the Money Group heard about Zhou Jin’s defeat and got restless. In the end, Lei Long ran away with his people."

Song Yun’s face darkened, that Lei Long, he ran away again!

But then he thought, with Lei Long now, he had no value left to the Zhou Family, his fate might not be favorable anyway.

"What about the aftermath?" Song Yun asked.

"The higher-ups issued an announcement saying that the area had a drill last night, so the events didn’t have much impact externally."

Just then, the hospital room door opened from the outside.

Jue Wu, with bandages on his hand, walked in.

"Heard you woke up." Jue Wu smiled, walking to Song Yun’s side, and said, "How are you feeling?"

"I’m alright. By the way, tell me, what’s the situation outside now?" Song Yun asked.

"According to Brother Song Yun’s instructions, we’re currently engulfing the remaining market. With Emperor Wang’s leadership and help, operations are going smoothly," Jue Wu said with a smile.

"Oh? What about the Tripartite Corporation?" Song Yun asked.

"They haven’t said anything nor dare they say anything," Jue Wu said, "Zheng Yun directly issued a document firmly requesting the removal of some tumors and also labeled the Money Group as a tumor. If the Tripartite Corporation doesn’t want to be the second batch, they might as well try messing with us."

"This Zheng Yun is really trustworthy!"

Song Yun remarked emotionally.

"Yes, and it seems like there are rumors saying that the people in the Red Wall aren’t too pleased with this incident. Chen Rongjin might be reassigned," Jue Wu said.

"Reassigned?" Song Yun asked in surprise, "Really? Where did you hear that?"

"It’s the talk of the entire system now because Zheng Yun dealt a hard blow to Chen Rongjin in this matter, and their conflict is becoming increasingly apparent. If this continues, how can they keep working together? So, everyone says one of them will certainly be reassigned, and given the current situation, it’s likely to be him," Jue Wu articulated quite reasonably and accurately.

Later that afternoon, Song Yun received the news.

Chen Rongjin was reassigned, and Zheng Yun successfully took his position.

Surprisingly, Liu Changfeng replaced Zheng Yun, puzzling everyone.

"Damn, could it be I’m really a lucky star for people?" Song Yun thought as he received the news. And before he could digest the information, a call from the pillar of support in Sunan, Sunan’s backbone, came unexpectedly.

"Song Yun, when are you coming back!"

Zhang SJ’s voice from the other end was surprisingly gentle.

"Well, Zhang SJ, I’m still not in great shape, so it’ll be a few more days," Song Yun said, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh, once you’re well, come back quickly then, as Sunan is your home. Honestly, you’re investing in Guangdong and not putting money into our hometown, remember, you’re a Sunan person!" Zhang SJ said.

After chatting with Zhang SJ for a few more sentences, they hung up. Song Yun puzzledly looked at Qingluan and asked, "What’s going on?"

"Song Yun, you’re not the same as before!"

Qingluan said with a smile.

"I’m different?"

Song Yun looked at Qingluan strangely, thinking had he woken up a superhero with his underwear on the outside?

"You’re now, truly the East South King."

Song Yun’s eyes lit up and said, "Really?"

"Yes, for now, it’s true!" Qingluan nodded.

"Then can I order two bowls of soy milk at once and spill one?" Song Yun asked.

"Haha, you can, if you want." Qingluan said with a smile.

"Damn, I finally don’t have to be a nobody anymore."

Song Yun excitedly tried to sit up, but his body, though recovering quickly, hadn’t yet fully healed to move.

So, as soon as he moved, Song Yun let out a groan and collapsed back onto the bed.

Although Song Yun’s body was still quite frail, his heart was already excited. His influence now entirely covered the Southeast region. Nearby was Guangxi Province, which had always been in a pretty lackluster state, unlike the Pearl River Delta’s situation, lacking strong organizations like the Wen Commerce Association. In simple terms, there were local forces, but they weren’t strong.

Under such circumstances, that side couldn’t threaten Song Yun.

By this time, Song Yun hadn’t reached the extent of Song Kunlun’s control over the Northeastern Three Provinces and Siberia, but once he fully digested the Pearl River Delta, the Shura Alliance would have the strength to go head-to-head with the Wen Commerce Association, not to mention now even their martial prowess was in the core circle of the Wen Commerce Association.

Song Yun lay on the bed, although with Zhou Jin dead, there were still issues Song Yun had to resolve, the first of which was the matter with the Tripartite Corporation.

When Song Yun took over the Pearl River Delta, a clash with the Tripartite Corporation was inevitable. Originally, the Tripartite Corporation was an ally of Song Yun, although such betrayals in this circle were not uncommon, Song Yun felt that he and Chen Yang and Fei got along as friends. Suddenly falling out left Song Yun a bit sentimental.
