Chapter 574 - 575: Do or Die
Song Xiaodong looked at the imposing big man, his expression froze momentarily, and then he stepped forward, legs together, chest puffed, and one hand raised to his forehead, saying, "Senior Officer, hello!"
The imposing big man returned the gesture, furrowing his brow as he spoke, "Song Xiaodong, what are you doing?"
"Major General Lu, is this your soldier?" Sun Changtian asked with a cold face.
The imposing big man, who turned out to be a junior general named Lu Lang, nodded and said, "Yes, he used to be my guard, but later was transferred to another department."
Sun Changtian’s face grew even colder as he said, "Major General Lu, such impressive soldiers you have, who would come to the Sun family to fight and kill."
Ji Lang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Let me ask about the situation first." He then strode up to Song Xiaodong, speaking in a low voice, "What’s going on here?"
Song Xiaodong took a deep breath and spoke loudly, "Sun Zi’ang of the Sun family kidnapped my sister, intending to rape her. Having refused to submit, she jumped from the sixth floor, nearly losing her life. I must avenge my sister and kill Sun Zi’ang!"
Lu Lang immediately frowned. Having known Song Xiaodong for two years, he was quite familiar with Song Xiaodong’s character; Song Xiaodong would definitely not lie to him. And being a soldier always carried a certain fierceness---if the roles were reversed, he feared he wouldn’t let the matter rest either.
But he was acutely aware of what the Sun family represented; even as a junior general, he meant nothing in front of the Patriarch of the Sun Family. Song Xiaodong was just one person, how could he possibly contend with the Sun family.
"Nonsense! Since your sister is not dead, why kill Sun Zi’ang? I think we should let this matter rest, as the Sun family has also suffered injuries," said Lu Lang, determined to protect Song Xiaodong and thus tried to mediate and appease the situation.
