Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1224 - 1209: Winning Without Fighting

Just when Song Yun was lost in thought, Chen Yang arrived at Song Yun’s hospital room with Fei.

Song Yun wasn’t surprised by their arrival; it would have been strange if the two of them had not come.

Fei had a strange look on his face, while Chen Yang, smiling, placed a fruit basket and some other things by Song Yun’s bedside, and said with a grin, "Brother Song Yun, it seems like you’ve really recovered quite well!"

"Haha, I’ve been getting injured since I was young, my body is used to it, so I naturally recover quickly."

Song Yun said with a smile.

"Ah, I’m just envious of you young guys with your vigorous bodies—not afraid of getting hurt," Chen Yang said as he pulled a chair over and sat down, then glanced at Qingluan, saying, "Could this young lady step out for a moment? I have something to discuss with Brother Song Yun."

"No." Qingluan smiled and shook her head.

It’s a joke; now that Song Yun is as fragile as a baby, Qingluan definitely wouldn’t let Song Yun face Chen Yang and Fei alone.

"Whatever it is, Brother Chen, you can just say it."

Song Yun said, "Qingluan and I are inseparable."

"Well, that’s fine then." Chen Yang hesitated for a bit, then said, "This time I’ve come to discuss something with you, of course, it’s also to intercede on behalf of the Tripartite Corporation."

"Oh? What’s the matter?" Song Yun, although having an idea in his mind, still pretended to be quite puzzled as he asked.

"It’s like this," Chen Yang said, "It seems you intend to station here permanently. Brother Song Yun, this seems a bit different from our initial agreement."

"Well." Song Yun was silent for a moment before saying, "Being entrusted with this investment from above, they asked me to help clean up this gray area, after all, it can’t be allowed to fall into the wrong hands."

Chen Yang’s expression was a bit troubled as he said, "And what about...the Tripartite Corporation?"

"What about the Tripartite Corporation?" Song Yun feigned ignorance.

"Alright, let’s not talk about that." Seeing Song Yun’s expression, Chen Yang naturally knew that Song Yun planned to renege.

"Actually, there are things that we both are quite aware of." Chen Yang said, "The main purpose of my visit today is to tell you that our side of the Tripartite Corporation is willing to give up most of the lucrative parts. We don’t want any of the legacy items in these areas."

"Oh?" Song Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "None at all?"

"Yes, none of it." Chen Yang shook his head and said, "We just hope to remain in our own domain, which is the area of Foshan."

"Hehe." Song Yun chuckled, slightly turning his head to look at Chen Yang, and said, "Brother Chen, do you think once I’ve almost eaten the entire pie, a Tripartite Corporation could still exist under me? How can you allow others to snore near your bed?"

Chen Yang really wanted to say, you bastard, you broke your promise. The market share of the Money Group that was agreed to be mine is now being devoured by just you, and you won’t even spare my Tripartite Corporation. You’re going to get divine retribution for this. Your appetite is too good—don’t overeat!

But thinking about how everyone in the system has ties with Song Yun, Chen Yang sighed helplessly.

"Actually, I must thank the Tripartite Corporation and your small circle for all the help." Song Yun said.

Chen Yang looked at Song Yun, wanting to say, finally, some conscience in you, kid.

However, Song Yun changed his tone and said, "But it’s I who owes you a favor, while the Shura Alliance isn’t just mine, you know. Now that such a fat piece of meat is served on my platter, if I don’t eat it, it would be irresponsible. The Tripartite Corporation must withdraw within a month."

When Song Yun finished this last sentence, his entire presence was instantly filled with killing intent.

Fei stepped forward, blocking in front of Chen Yang, alertly watching Song Yun.

Yet, Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Fei, stand down."

Fei nodded and moved behind Chen Yang.

"I understand you don’t want to leave an unstable factor in the Pearl River Delta. I had figured it out long ago, but humans, before completely losing hope, always have some luck. But, if you forcibly expel the Tripartite Corporation, do you really want a fight to the death with us? Haven’t you forgotten what our small group’s original business was? Aren’t you afraid I’ll make it so your base isn’t peaceful for even a day?"

Chen Yang’s words were filled with murderous intent and also had a tone of burning one’s bridges, but Song Yun heard the most crucial point in it.

Chen Yang said it was forced expulsion of the Tripartite Corporation; does that mean it doesn’t have to be forced?

Actually, anything can be negotiated.

"What do you propose?" Song Yun asked.

"I hope the Tripartite Corporation can maintain a friendly relationship with the Shura Alliance in the form of allies; for anything the Tripartite Corporation does, it will act according to the will of the Shura Alliance! Though allies, they are more of a dependency." Chen Yang said, "This is my condition. If you agree, we can sign the agreement right away."

"No, no, no." Song Yun shook his head and said, "I don’t want allies. I’ll give the Tripartite Corporation a choice: become a branch of my Shura Alliance, with my people leading the branch, handing over everything to us for management, and we won’t harm any member who obeys the Shura Alliance."

"Subduing without fighting?" Chen Yang frowned and asked, "Aren’t you thinking a bit too optimistically."

"Hear me out."

Song Yun continued on his own, "That’s to break up all within the Tripartite Corporation and merge them into the Shura Alliance. I can guarantee that their treatment won’t be worse than before, and I can allocate some rights to those top managers."

"This..." Chen Yang showed a contemplative expression, while inwardly, Song Yun thought, "Agree, just agree already. If you agree, I can gain a large number of usable subordinates without a fight; the entire management of the Tripartite Corporation will become part of my faction."

As if he heard Song Yun’s words, Chen Yang, after a moment of thought, looked at Song Yun and said, "Are you sure they can become the management of the Shura Alliance, second only to those originally following you?"

"Of course, I, Song Yun, keep my word!" Song Yun said.

Chen Yang picked his nose and said, "Keep your word? Then let your people withdraw from here right now, and I’ll call you a man of your word."

Song Yun directly ignored Chen Yang’s remark.

"Sigh." Chen Yang sighed and said, "It looks like the path you’re suggesting is the best one for now. I hope my brothers can follow your Shura Alliance and glimpse the scenery from the top. I...will agree on their behalf, but our small circle group cannot follow your Shura Alliance."

"Oh? Can you make the decision for the Tripartite Corporation?" Song Yun asked.

"Since I’m here, I can make the decision." Chen Yang said
