Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1536 - 1521: The Curtain Falls

"Song Yun!"

Ma ChunTian squinted and said, "I’m not necessarily defeated! Don’t push me too far!"

"Indeed, you’re not necessarily defeated," Song Yun shrugged indifferently and said, "But once you’re caught by me, you’ll definitely lose!"

"You... you!! I haven’t offended you," Ma ChunTian softened upon seeing Song Yun’s attitude, and said gently, "Song Yun, from the moment I met you until now, how have I treated you?"

"You treated me very well," Song Yun said, "Though I have some grudges with your son, you’ve been genuinely nice to me!"

"That’s right, of course. I treated you well because I admire you. I know you’ll be a pillar of the nation in the future. I currently hold a higher position, but in the future, I surely won’t surpass you. So I’ve always been sincere in befriending you. This time, I’m in trouble. I don’t expect you to help me out, but I hope you won’t push me to the bottom. You want one trillion, I can’t give you that, but if you let me go, I’ll give you five hundred million!! Really, five hundred million in cash. I’ll transfer it to you immediately. Once I reach the United States, even with your network, you could easily take me down even there. I really can’t deceive you, Song Yun. Give me a chance, and yourself as well. Five hundred million is not a small amount. That’s about 95% of my total assets. I just hope to ensure the safety of my family!"

"You make me feel embarrassed to take your offer!"

Song Yun said bashfully, "Five hundred million is indeed tempting. Even now, my annual income is just a bit more than that. If you give me five hundred million in cash, I could earn a year less. But there are some money I can take, and some I really can’t. In my lifetime, I truly despise people like you. Because of people like you, Shen Zhou’s housing prices keep rising, living costs and oil prices keep climbing. Although it’s not yet at a point where people can’t survive, social discontent has been brewing for a long time. The root of this problem lies in corruption. While I, Song Yun, can’t change the entire system of Shen Zhou, I can certainly stop you from taking national assets out of the country. Five hundred million—how many unscrupulous deals did you need to make for that? How many people suffered because of it? Anyway, I won’t say much more. Ma ChunTian, Ma Sj, I’m here under orders to wait for you. Will you leave on your own, or shall I take you in?"

"You!! You!! Are you sure you want to go this far?" Ma ChunTian asked.

"I am carrying out my duty. Please cooperate, Ma Sj," Song Yun said sternly.

"I’ll fight you to the end!"

Ma ChunTian suddenly yelled, reaching into his chest to pull out a small golden handgun.

This was a collector’s edition gun, given to Ma ChunTian by a friend, through connections, of course.

Carrying this on him was Ma ChunTian’s just-in-case measure, and now, with Song Yun evidently unwilling to let him leave, Ma ChunTian had no choice but to catch Song Yun by surprise, take him down, and then run away.

From his years of dealings in SH, many relied on him both overtly and covertly. If he intended to escape, it was quite easy for him; unfortunately, leaving the country was difficult.

When he drew the gun, many people watching froze, shocked as Ma ChunTian aimed the gun at Song Yun, causing an uproar among onlookers.

An SH official pointing a gun at a young man—what was going on? Was this a film?

Many thought to themselves.

"This is your last chance. Let me go," Ma ChunTian said coldly, "Let me go, and nothing happens. When I get to the United States, I will still give you five hundred million!"

"I’m sorry!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Song Yun shrugged helplessly and said, "Duty calls!"

"Then I’ll make you a martyr!"

Ma ChunTian shouted and was about to pull the trigger, when suddenly, Song Yun dashed forward, before he could pull the trigger, and grabbed Ma ChunTian’s wrist with a strong hand.

With a crack.

Ma ChunTian’s wrist was forcefully crushed by Song Yun.

"Ah!"

Only then did Ma ChunTian feel the sharp pain, crying out loudly.

"Ah!"

The surrounding crowd also erupted in screams.

And Ma ChunTian’s gun fell to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, all the airport security rushed over.

"I’m performing official duty!"

Song Yun took out his National Security Bureau credentials and said, "Clear a path for me, I need to leave!"

The security guards, knowing the authenticity of Song Yun’s credentials, were aware that the person apprehended by this National Security Bureau officer looked like a municipal official. Yet, with so many lookalikes these days, it was clear the person wasn’t the official, just someone who resembled him. So, the security guards surrounded Song Yun and moved to escort him out.

Meanwhile, Ma Lele quickly turned to make a run for it.

With his father already caught, and Song Yun holding up his father, he had a chance to escape. If successful, he could possibly return for revenge later.

Thus, Ma Lele fled decisively.

As for Ma Lele’s mother, she collapsed to the ground, wailing.

Seeing Ma Lele about to reach the security checkpoint, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Abandoning your own father, you’re worse than a beast!"

The woman glared at Ma Lele with slight anger.

"Get out of my way, or I’ll kill you!!" Ma Lele screamed in frenzy.

"Stop running, stay with your parents!"

The woman said, gently touching Ma Lele’s neck.

Ma Lele’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Song Yun arrived, grabbing Ma Lele’s hand, lifting him up, and said to Qingluan, "Qingluan, don’t act rashly in the future!"

"Got it," Qingluan replied with a smile and a nod.

And so, Song Yun led Ma ChunTian and Ma Lele out of the airport. As for Ma ChunTian’s wife, she was led by security to follow Song Yun.
