Chapter 123: 123, know Chapter 123: 123, know Cheng Fengjie checked the time and took out his cell phone to call Song Yufeng’s number again.
Song Yufeng had just finished a meeting and returned to his office. Hearing his phone ringing, he checked and saw it was Cheng Fengjie calling. What was Cheng Fengjie doing? Hadn’t they already agreed to discuss business cooperation details when they met at his company?
Pressing the answer button, he said, “This is Song Yufeng.”
“Mr. Song, hello! I have a personal matter to discuss, do you have time now?” Cheng Fengjie asked politely.
Song Yufeng glanced at his watch, “Go ahead.” He didn’t understand what personal matter Cheng Fengjie could have with him.
“Is it convenient to talk about the Emperor Realm over the phone?” Cheng Fengjie’s fingers gently tapped on the desk, a calm demeanor about him.
Song Yufeng stood up and locked the door of his office, “Go ahead.” There were many families in Beijing, and younger members had entered the Emperor Realm. Cheng Fengjie’s father was a meritorious man, so it wasn’t surprising that the Cheng Family had secured a spot in the Emperor Realm.
“The situation is this, the night before last, my Xiao Jun encountered Ms. Qin in the Emperor Realm and she ran into some trouble. The system only gave her 15 minutes to borrow points, otherwise she would be expunged. Xiao Jun promptly loaned her points to help. However… Ms. Qin used our current collaboration as a threat to make Xiao Jun oppose the young master of the Qin Family and a young girl, now all of Xiao Jun’s points have been taken, and his companions also resent him for it. Ms. Qin was likely expelled by the system as well,” Cheng Fengjie explained in detail.
As Song Yufeng listened, his expression grew increasingly grim, “I’m very sorry to hear that, and I’ll give you an explanation.” Song Yanxue actually did such a thing, but weren’t she and Xiao Shen on good terms? Why would she contrive to harm him?
“Mr. Song, I don’t mean to create misunderstanding,” Cheng Fengjie revealed a victorious smile. He guessed that Song Yanxue hadn’t yet informed her family of the incident; otherwise, the Song Family would not be so calm. Securing a spot in the Emperor Realm was not easy, even for mighty families like the Song and Qin Families, each had only one spot.
“I’m a bit busy now, I’ll contact you later. Rest assured, our cooperation will not be affected.” Song Yufeng had no mood to chat further with Cheng Fengjie. He needed to verify the truth of the matter. But considering Cheng Fengjie had called specifically and detailed the issue so explicitly, it was most likely true.
Song Yufeng gave a few instructions to his subordinates, then rushed to the Song Family home.
Mr. Song was in his study, on the phone with an old friend, “Is there no other way to secure a spot?” He wanted to get a spot in the Emperor Realm for Xiao Ning, but despite exhausting all his connections, he still couldn’t secure one.
“Unless you turn to the Ancient Martial Sect.” The quotas for these big families and powers were distributed by the Ancient Martial Sect.
Mr. Song sighed deeply, “Alright, thanks for the help!”
“Knock, knock, knock!” A slightly urgent series of knocks suddenly sounded.
Mr. Song frowned in displeasure, put down the phone, and said sternly, “Come in!”
Song Yufeng opened the door and entered the study, “Dad, I have something important to tell you.” He knew he had knocked a bit hastily just now, but the matter was indeed urgent.
“What is it?” Mr. Song walked over to the sofa, sat down, and gestured for Song Yufeng to sit beside him and speak.
Song Yufeng approached Mr. Song, “Xinxin might have been expelled from the Emperor Realm.”
“What?!” Mr. Song stood up abruptly, disbelievingly looking at Song Yufeng, “How did you come to know this?” If true, this was no small matter.
Song Yufeng repeated to Mr. Song what Cheng Fengjie had told him.
“This is outrageous! Bring her here,” Mr. Song roared in anger.
Song Yanxue was lying on her bed playing games. These past days, she had been extremely nervous, afraid that her family would discover she had been expelled from the Emperor Realm.
She planned to wait a bit longer, if Cheng Jun didn’t mention it by tomorrow, then nothing would come of it. After all, the Cheng Family was still discussing the collaboration with the Song Family, and Cheng Jun would surely be cautious. Besides, only his points were stolen, unlike her expulsion from the system.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sudden knocking startled Song Yanxue from her bed, “Who?” A bad premonition suddenly surged in her heart.
“Open the door! It’s me!” Song Yufeng’s deep voice came from outside.
Hearing it was Song Yufeng, Song Yanxue knew she was done for. Her father wouldn’t knock on her door unless something was wrong. Now that he was knocking, it was almost certainly about the Emperor Realm. Damn Cheng Jun! How dare he snitch! Since he did, she would definitely ensure that the collaboration between the Cheng and Song Families wouldn’t succeed. She might not have a way, but her mother surely would.
“Did you hear me?!” Song Yufeng’s voice came again, interrupting Song Yanxue’s thoughts.
“Dad, I’m feeling unwell,” Song Yanxue feigned weakness. For now, she could only delay things. She was truly scared.
“Unwell or not, open the door,” Song Yufeng’s voice carried an edge of anger. He knew Song Yanxue was speaking out of fear, but some things had to be faced. Since a mistake was made, evading it would certainly not resolve things.
Fearfully shrinking back, Song Yanxue eventually slowly got up and opened the door. She knew that further delay was futile; her father could open the door with his keys anyway. There was no escaping.
“Dad,” Song Yanxue looked fearfully at Song Yufeng, quickly lowering her head.
“Come with me to your grandfather,” Song Yufeng said sternly and turned to leave.
Song Yanxue obediently nodded and followed. At this moment, her heart was filled with nothing but fear. Perhaps her grandfather and father wouldn’t be too harsh, but her second and third uncles, if they found out, would certainly severely punish her.
Yang Xin’er stepped out of her room and saw Song Yufeng’s angry face, somewhat surprised. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Song Yanxue following behind, “What happened?”
“It’s none of your business,” Song Yufeng said coolly, not stopping his stride. He did not want Xinxin to get involved. He felt powerless in this matter; the mistake Song Yanxue had made this time was not minor, and she would definitely face severe punishment.
“Mum,” Song Yanxue, with tearful eyes, looked pitifully at Yang Xin’er. Now, only her mother could save her.
