Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Who did this?"

Young Master Shi Si's gaze was fierce as he scanned his surroundings; not a soul dared meet his eyes.

"Lao Liu! Is this the mess you've created, you damn fool?!"

Upon hearing this livid voice, Lao Liu's heart was thrown into turmoil. He immediately prostrated on the ground and said with a quivering voice, "Young master, calm your anger, calm your anger..."

"Good, good, good, you really are a fine subordinate of mine! Directly bringing me so many enemies!"

Young Master Shi Si laughed in exasperation, "Do you wish for my death that eagerly?!!!!"

"Young master, spare my life... young master, spare my life..."

Lao Liu could not stop trembling all over; he had never imagined the people behind this would be so formidable that even the young master would choose to steer clear of their sharp edge!

"You've really done a great job, haven't you? Now tell me, how should I reward you."

Young Master Shi Si noticed a piece of red cloth on the ground, seemingly wrapping something. He slowly approached, crouched down, and carefully lifted the cloth, only to find what was inside so shocking that he ended up squatting on the ground.

It was the very tally that he had intended to frame Song Yun with!

Who would have thought that after making its rounds, it would end up back with him!

Yet, he'd heard that this tally had slipped from Song Yun's hands by noon!

It was snatched away by an unknown, skilled martial artist!

He had never suspected that this mighty figure was one of Song Yun's people; if Song Yun had such strength, why would he risk his life putting on an act!

What on earth is going on!

Who is out to get me!!!

Young Master Shi Si's mind was incessantly thinking about his enemies.

Yet the prowess of that mysterious martial artist kept circling in his mind.

Someone capable of commanding such a figure must not be a nobody!

The strength displayed by this individual could rival that of a first-class elder in the family!

"Lao Liu, you..."

Young Master Shi Si gave Lao Liu a meaningful look, the implication clear without words.

Lao Liu had a vacant look in his eyes; he had not anticipated that a mere thought would doom his future.

Young Master Shi Si's message was simple: he couldn't withstand this storm, so Lao Liu would have to be kicked out as the scapegoat!

Whether or not this would quell the fury of those big shots depended on the subsequent compensation of interests!

Only in this way, could Young Master Shi Si maintain his position within the family!

Otherwise, after having been reviewed by the family before, another incident like this would undoubtedly plummet his status within the clan.

He might even be stripped of his title as young master!

As for this tally, Young Master Shi Si really dared not swallow it.

It was like poison; just touching it guaranteed a bad end!

If he dared to hide it privately, the fallout would definitely be greater than injuring the spokesperson of those big shots!

At this moment, Young Master Shi Si had only one thought on his mind: going home!

Only the family could protect him!

The outside world was far too terrifying!

Hearing that the great lord was seriously ill, bringing back this tally might even earn him a reward...

"Lao Liu, your son is quite capable, having passed the trial. I will take him under my wing and train him carefully. You understand what I mean, right?"

Young Master Shi Si helped Lao Liu, who was kneeling and dazed on the ground, to his feet, patted the dirt off him, and said with a smile, "I promise you, your son will definitely become a steward-level figure. From now on, your descendants will be protected by the family thanks to you."

"Young master... Is there really no chance for me to make amends?"

Lao Liu said with a bitter voice, "Is the power behind these people truly that strong?"

"Perhaps to the family, they're not much, but what I'm afraid of is that they will blame this entire matter on me alone. Everyone in the family knows you're my most loyal follower; they won't miss this rare opportunity to criticize me."

Shi Si sighed softly and said, "Don't forget, my ranking has already fallen behind, and if I don't hurry to disassociate myself from this affair, I'm afraid..."

Both looked at each other, and finally, the sixth elder nodded his head with difficulty and said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will definitely not make things difficult for you!"

"I know... I've always known..."

Shi Si closed his eyes tightly, his fists clenched.

Outside the Mingyue Club.

Song Yun clicked his tongue in reflection and said, "This matter should now be settled, I've achieved my goal, and Shi Si, this scourge, should also quiet down for a while."

"This is probably the best outcome."

Song Bu nodded in agreement and asked, "But there's one thing I don't understand, how did you get the domino into the club?"

"Hehe, I have a mastermind!"

Song Yun laughed heartily and said, "This deal, it was the biggest profit I've ever made!"

Song Bu, though totally confused, saw that his own son had no intention of explaining and didn't pursue the matter further.

The three returned to the Hua Shou Villa.

Upon entering the living room, they saw Tie Mu sitting awkwardly on the sofa with an uncomfortable expression.

"What's the matter with you, constipated or got beaten up? Your complexion looks as poor as a pig's liver," Song Bu joked.

Tie Mu's eyes narrowed slightly as he said coolly, "Just now, a young man barged into the villa; I had a confrontation with him..."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Song Bu exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't leave him incapacitated, did you?"

"I didn't win..."

"???"

Song Bu looked at Tie Mu with an expression that screamed, 'Are you kidding me?' In this world, who could you possibly not defeat?

"Not only that, but I also realized that he had no intention of hurting anyone. He fought me as if... as if I was training Song Yun..."

At this point, Tie Mu covered his face with his hands and spoke in a subdued tone, "My martial heart feels damaged..."

This was no trifle!

Martial Artists like Tie Mu have an unyielding spirit of combat!

They face adversity without fear, confident in their martial skills to carve out their own path in the world!

But now, his heart began to doubt itself, questioning whether the many years of practice he had dedicated were all in vain—comparable to a dog's effort!

This was a serious problem!

Song Yun never expected the young man's martial skills to be so formidable!

"Uncle Tie, as the saying goes, comparisons can kill. If even a master like you can start doubting, then what about me? Should I just reincarnate and start training all over again?"

Song Yun offered consolation, "The world is vast, there will always be someone mightier than oneself, but you can't let your martial heart be damaged every time you encounter a stronger opponent, can you?"

"You don't understand, Tie Mu has always trained with the aspiration to be the best in the world! It is this very belief that has allowed him to endure countless difficult years."

Song Bu lit a cigarette and explained, "If that belief shatters, the power accumulated in his body would also weaken significantly, and in a severe case, it could even harm the foundation."

"Damn..."

Song Yun was hearing this for the first time!

Now what to do? It's not like he could ask that young man to hold back and throw a fight, could he?

And even if that young man agreed, Tie Mu would be able to feel it in a fight!

This is problematic!
