Song Yun considered for a moment and agreed, after all, Forty-nine City's power structure was intricate and complex, and it was somewhat embarrassing to have kept bothering the Ouyang Family with these tedious matters.
Deng Qi swiftly contacted the Deng Family people to take the He father and son away.
Song Yun approached the group of people huddled in the corner and said indifferently, "Do you wish to avert disaster by parting with wealth, or..."
Before Song Yun could finish, the dozen or so people immediately yelled out, "Avert disaster! Whatever you say goes, Your Excellency! We'll pay however much you tell us to!"
"Fine. I'll give you the account number of a charity foundation, each of you deposits 5 million into it. If by tomorrow noon I find there's no record of the transfer, you'll bear the consequences."
"Your Excellency really has a kind heart. We are utterly grateful to you!"
"Yes, yes, we've always heard that President Song is a magnanimous person, and seeing you today, it is indeed true!"
"This is for a good cause; I'm willing to donate 10 million!"
"I'll give 15 million!"
"I'll give 18 million!"
...
Very quickly, this dozen or so people began competing crazily. Who wouldn't want to make an impression on Song Yun? Now that He Zuo had accepted his defeat, making Song Yun remember their names at this time could become a bragging right for future outings!
"Stop, 5 million each is enough. Now, leave."
Song Yun, feeling quite annoyed by their noisy chatter, waved his hand to dismiss the crowd.
With no interest in staying any longer, Song Yun and his group returned to the Ouyang Family's residence.
The next day, after breakfast, Ouyang Jie changed back into his military attire. His dashing appearance caught Song Yun's eye, as this seemed like the poise a successor of a grand family should have.
"Grandpa, after having breakfast, I plan to take Song Yun on a tour around the camp. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Shu looked at his grandson peculiarly. This kid, who usually defies one thing or another so stubbornly, was now kindly offering to take Song Yun to broaden his horizons.
But he didn't know that this was Ouyang Jie's way of shutting Song Yun up, to prevent him from telling the old man about last night's incident.
Song Yun was profoundly curious about these defenders of the nation—after all, which man could resist the allure of those steel beasts!!!
"Little Song, what do you think?"
"Let's go!"
"The camp does not allow female family members to enter, so today it will be troublesome for Qing Qing and the others to take Shu Shu out for a trip instead, otherwise the little girl will still come to bother me."
"You still need more practice, boy!"
With his hands on his hips, Ouyang Jie burst into wild laughter. In the camp, unless there's an emergency, there's no distinction of rank, and if you want your men to follow you, there's only one simple and most effective method—beat them into submission!
"Song Yun, care to lend a hand?"
Song Yun smiled and shook his head; it wasn't that he was afraid, just that he didn't want to hurt Ouyang Jie.
"If you're a man, you can't say no! You're big and strong, what's there to fear?"
Ouyang Jie's words won the agreement of the soldiers around, who shouted, "Bro, I'm rooting for you! Go for it, knock the captain down!"
"A man will either die a hero or live long enough to see himself become the villain, what's there to fear!"
"The captain knows how to pull punches, don't be scared, little brother!"
With everyone so enthusiastic, Song Yun couldn't refuse without being looked down upon, so he had to agree.
"Let's agree to stop when a point is made, alright?"
Hearing Song Yun's words, Ouyang Jie said with a laugh, "Don't worry, we're just learning from each other!"
The kid agreed! He could finally vent the frustration bottled up all night in a legitimate way!
He vowed that once he got this off his chest, he would definitely not trouble Song Yun anymore.
After all, judging from the incident yesterday, Song Yun seemed like a pretty decent guy.
Soon, Song Yun and Ouyang Jie distanced themselves under everyone's watchful eye.
Suddenly, the figures of the two men flashed past; no one could see clearly how they sparred before realizing the round was already over.
Ouyang Jie grimaced as he rubbed his arm, surprised by the young man's extraordinary speed and strength! He wasn't as frail as he seemed!
"I'll have to bring out fifty percent of my strength!"
"No, better just use all your strength."
Hearing Song Yun's words, those around stared at him in stunned silence.
Was this kid getting cocky?
After all, the captain had once won first place in the national internal combat competition!
Asking such a fierce man to use all his strength was undoubtedly courting death!
