Chapter 580 - 581: The Ambiguous Attitude Above
Song Xiaodong had thought that upon leaving the Sun family, he would also be captured by them outside, but there was no movement at all. Even after leaving the city, he did not encounter any obstruction.
However, at the airport, Song Xiaodong encountered Lu Lang.
"I truly didn’t expect you to still be alive and come out," Lu Lang looked at Song Xiaodong, shook his head, and sighed, somewhat helpless yet also somewhat relieved.
Feeling apologetic, Song Xiaodong said, "Senior Officer, I am sorry, I did not follow your orders at that time."
Lu Lang waved his hand and said, "I am just your old chief, you are now a top figure in Dragon Thorn, your military rank is only one level below mine. If you continue to serve, you will definitely surpass me in the future."
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "In our unit, I have already reached the top, there is no possibility of promotion."
"That’s not necessarily true, if you are transferred to another department, there might be a chance for promotion. Let’s not talk about this for now. I have reported this incident to the higher-ups, and they have already issued instructions."
Song Xiaodong felt a sudden surge in his heart and asked, "What do the higher-ups mean?"
Lu Lang spoke with a somewhat peculiar expression, "The higher-ups have no specific intentions, only telling the Sun family, if the Sun family wants revenge, they can find you, but they must not involve other innocent people."
"Eh, that attitude is quite ambiguous," Song Xiaodong was also greatly surprised.
Lu Lang said, "Yes, the attitude is quite ambiguous indeed, I don’t understand what exactly the higher-ups mean. However, it is clear they have no intention of pursuing your thoughts, instead, it seems that they mean to protect you. This is rather intriguing."
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, "That’s enough for me. It’s best if the Sun family only comes after me alone, otherwise, my word stands. If he dares to touch one of mine, I’ll strike down a hundred of his."
