Chapter 437: Green Dragon Is Actually Mine?
Chapter 437: Green Dragon Is Actually Mine?
"What do you think?" Ling Yun raised his arm in front of Long Wu's eyes. A clear bite mark could be seen.
Long Wu didn't know martial arts, so Ling Yun dared not execute his Stellar Condensation Technique. He feared that he might destroy Long Wu's set of beautiful teeth.
Long Wu bit onto her lower lip as her fair cheek turned slightly red. "It's your fault for scolding me..."
Ling Yun smiled. "Get in the car."
After the two of them entered the Land Rover, Ling Yun asked Long Wu for directions before heading towards that direction.
"That day, I shouldn't have acted that way, but you shouldn't have gotten people to hit me either. That is way too barbaric... Do you know how painful those two slaps were?"
Ling Yun drove in silence.
"In America, everyone is open-minded and knows how to respect every individual's private space. It's my personal preference to dress skimpily and sexily. Moreover, going to a place like a disco is clearly so that I can let loose and relax. I was going to leave after having my fun, but who knew that I would meet you..."
Ling Yun finally turned his head when he heard that. He looked at Long Wu's fiery figure before chuckling. "You're very open? So why don't you wear a little less?"
Long Wu rolled her eyes and said, "I know what you're trying to say. On the beaches of Europe and America, there are indeed many blondes who were absolutely naked..."
Ling Yun was slightly startled as he never knew there was such a perfect place on Earth. He was determined to visit such places in the future. He was definitely not going to miss out.
However, Ling Yun suddenly thought of something else as he stared at Long Wu with weird gazes. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Don't tell me you've gone naked on the beach too?"
Long Wu's face blushed once more, and her scent had already filled up the entire car. She pouted playfully as she replied, "What are you thinking? I'm not even eighteen years old, alright! That's impossible!"
"Oh, that's great! I'm relieved." Ling Yun let out a huge breath of air before increasing the speed of his car.
When Long Wu heard that Ling Yun was relieved, she felt an unknown glee in her heart. She turned to stare brazenly at Ling Yun's handsome face and asked, "Ling Yun, you went missing for six days last week. Where on earth did you go?"
Ling Yun replied, "Northern Hubei Province..." Shennongjia was located within the Northern Hubei Province and was about a thousand miles away from Qingshui City. This was a very good explanation.
"Northern Hubei Province... Oh god, what were you doing over there?" Long Wu was even more curious when she heard that.
"Kill someone!" Ling Yun casually replied.
"Ah! You... went all the way to Northern Hubei Province just to kill someone? Did you manage to kill the person?" Long Wu was in shock.
Ling Yun smiled. "Usually, people who I want to kill will not be able to escape my clutches..."
Long Wu was dumbfounded at how casual Ling Yun was when he mentioned this. He was speaking as though this was an ordinary matter for him.
"Who did you kill?"
"East Asians who tried to steal treasures of our country..." Ling Yun spoke bluntly.
Long Wu was flabbergasted, and she stopped asking questions. Ling Yun's answer made her speechless, and she needed time to digest what she heard.
Ling Yun focused on driving as he occasionally asked Long Wu for directions. While he was driving, he received a call from Tie Xiaohu to inform him that Qingyun Productions' office had been smashed into ruins.
When Ling Yun heard that, he laughed coldly and gave Tie Xiaohu some instructions before hanging up.
Half an hour later, the Land Rover came to a halt in front of a secluded and peaceful courtyard. This was Long Wu's house.
Qingshui City's geographical environment was blessed by the heavens. The northwest and southwest region were all mountain ranges. Even though there weren't exceptionally tall mountains, every one of the mountains was filled with verdant and lush vegetation and surrounded by crystal-clear water and gorgeous scenery. Moreover, it was far away from the city's clamor and was extremely suitable for relaxing in seclusion.
Long Kun, the boss of Green Dragon, was residing in one of the family courtyards in the northwest region. There was an exquisite mansion covered with green trees and red walls. The surrounding was filled with bird songs and fragrant flowers, and the entire place had a refreshing air.
"My father is already waiting for us in the house. Let's go in." The moment Long Wu stepped out of the car, she urged Ling Yun to enter.
"Uncle Long really knows how to pick his location..." Ling Yun realized how great it was to have money and capabilities. All the good spots in the city were taken up by them.
When Ling Yun and Long Wu walked into the courtyard, they saw Long Kun seated on a bamboo chair. He was making his tea with care on the table. There were three cups as he was evidently awaiting Ling Yun and Long Wu's arrival.
When Long Kun saw Ling Yun walking in, he smiled and got up to greet Ling Yun. "Ling Yun, you're here! Come and have a seat! The tea is almost ready."
Ling Yun nodded his head and smiled naturally while greeting Long Kun. After that, he walked towards Long Kun and sat opposite him without standing on ceremony.
After Long Kun sat down, he observed Ling Yun for a long while before nodding his head with satisfaction. He personally poured a cup of tea for Ling Yun before saying, "Longjing tea, do try..."
Ling Yun lifted his cup to sniff the fragrance of the tea. He drained the cup in one gulp and tasted a mouthful of fragrance. He couldn't help but compliment, saying, "Great tea!"
Long Wu snickered and couldn't help but comment, "Really? You don't even know how to enjoy tea? Nobody drinks tea like they drink water, don't you know that?"
Ling Yun wasn't bothered as he replied, "I admit I don't know how to appreciate tea, but you can teach me if you want. However, I refuse to pay any teaching fee..."
Long Kun laughed when he saw that, and he took a small sip of the tea before putting down the cup. He asked Ling Yun, "Ling Yun, do you have time to stay for dinner tonight?"
Ling Yun instantly shook his head. "Uncle Long, I really can't stay for dinner tonight. There are simply too many matters on hand for me. I came here today to personally express my gratitude for your help. I'll at most only be able to stay for an hour before I need to leave again."
Nobody knew how much power and influence Long Kun had in Jiangnan Province, but everyone knew the might of Green Dragon. For Long Kun to understand a person, he merely needed a few minutes to do so. After observing Ling Yun for such a long time, he was naturally aware of how busy Ling Yun was.
Ignoring the faces that Long Wu was making by the side, Long Kun didn't insist that Ling Yun stay. Instead, he smiled and replied, "En, it's important to settle the matters on hand. After you finish whatever you have to do, feel free to visit us again."
"Thank you, Uncle Long, for the incident at Linjiang Garden."
When Ling Yun saw how direct Long Kun was, he didn't bother beating around the bush. Therefore, he went straight into the topic and thanked him.
Long Kun laughed as he responded, "Not a problem at all! To be honest, the main reason I went over was to take a look at you."
"Take a look at me?" Ling Yun was slightly taken aback. He was wondering why the boss of Green Dragon had to look at him.
Ling Yun asked, "Uncle Long, I've beaten up some of your subordinates and even snatched Tie Xiaohu from you. Instead of finding trouble with me, why did you help me?"
Long Kun looked at Ling Yun lovingly with a smile, and he shocked Ling Yun with his next sentence!
"Ling Yun ah, since you're willing to address me as Uncle Long, I shall address you as my nephew..."
"Nephew, listen to me... You didn't beat up any of my subordinates, and you didn't snatch my trusted lieutenant either. This is because Green Dragon was originally yours!"
"What?" Ling Yun was instantly astonished, and he almost jumped out of his seat!
"Uncle Long, are you pulling my leg? You're saying... Green Dragon... Green Dragon is mine?" Ling Yun wasn't able to maintain his calmness at that moment.
Long Kun, on the other hand, was truly calm and collected as he took another sip of tea while looking at Ling Yun. After that, he looked into Ling Yun's eyes to say, "That's right, Green Dragon is yours! Regardless of whether you choose to accept this truth, Green Dragon is yours!"
After the reassurance from Long Kun, Ling Yun scratched his head as he asked, "Why?"
Green Dragon was a force in the underworld which had been in Jiangnan Province for over ten years now. Now that Long Kun claimed that Green Dragon belonged to Ling Yun, wasn't this gift too huge? Even Ling Yun wasn't able to keep calm after hearing this.
Of course, Ling Yun wasn't too concerned about the strength and power of Green Dragon. He was more curious about the reason for it.
Long Kun poured another cup of tea for Ling Yun before saying with a smile, "Nephew, it seems like your mother has yet to tell you anything. Let me do the honor of informing you then."
Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat when he found out that this matter involved his own mother, Qin Qiuyue.
"Nephew, I brought Wu'Er to Qingshui City about seventeen years ago, and we met the pursuit of our enemies. Back then, I was severely injured, and it was your mother who came out to save Wu'Er and myself."
"Back then, I was all alone and had to take care of Wu'Er. Because I had no way to thank your mother for her life-saving grace, I suggested an arranged betrothal with your mother. We wanted to let Wu'Er be your wife when she grew up..."
After saying that, Long Wu was so shy that she simply hid in the corner and said, pouting, "Who wants to be your wife..."
Ling Yun was dumbfounded as he lifted his head to look at Long Kun before turning to the embarrassed Long Wu. "Arranged betrothal? Wife? This..."
This was basically a trap from the heavens! He couldn't believe his mother found him a wife seventeen years ago!
"Father, what are you even saying? This is so embarrassing!" When Long Wu saw that Ling Yun was staring at her, she was so shy she couldn't stay seated. She stood up and ran into the house.
Long Kun wasn't bothered and simply laughed out loud. He turned to Ling Yun. "Your Uncle Long only has one daughter, and I do feel that she has been brought up well over the past seventeen years. So don't you agree that Green Dragon is yours?"
Ling Yun didn't remain shocked for long, reacting very quickly. He came to a realization that Green Dragon really belonged to him.
Without mentioning Green Dragon, if Long Wu really married him, he would be taking over all the assets of Long Kun. He was naturally not going to take advantage of him.
"But... does an arranged betrothal really count?"
Long Kun replied with conviction, "Your mother nodded her head back then, so what do you think?"
Long Kun was naturally not lying to Ling Yun. Qin Qiuyue didn't decline that offer back then because she was being tactful. However, this was an incident that happened seventeen years ago. Now that Qin Qiuyue wasn't around and only Long Kun knew that, he was definitely going to phrase it this way.
Looking at how unbelievably strong Ling Yun was, and Long Kun's status in Qingshui City, he would be an idiot if he were to let such a good son-in-law slip away.
"Ah... This... Uncle Long, I need to wait for my mother to return to ask her again. I want to see what my mother has to say..."
Ling Yun was finally able to shelter himself using the massive tree that Qin Qiuyue planted.
