Chapter 661 - 662: I Am Just a Gun
Sun Tongyun’s arrest sent the entire Sun family into a state of panic, primarily because of the evidence that Song Xiaodong had produced.
In such a short period of time, Song Xiaodong had actually gathered so much incriminating evidence against Sun Tongyun, which seemed far from simple.
And for the members of the Sun family, which one of them could be clean? Relying on the power of their family, the Sun family had amassed a considerable amount of wealth, and it was certain that many of those assets were obtained through special means.
If Song Xiaodong managed to dig out all these things and hand them over to the authorities, the loss to the Sun family would be immense.
Take this incident involving Sun Tongyun, for example, the assets related to corruption reached over a hundred million. A hundred million may not be much for the Sun family, but Sun Tongyun had been cultivating his status for so many years to reach his current position. The time and effort invested were too great, and it would take how many more years to cultivate another official of deputy department level?
With the Sun family in trouble, the Su family also encountered problems. An important official from the Su family was also subjected to investigation—reported by none other than Song Xiaodong—with equally undeniable evidence, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Song Xiaodong directly challenging the two major families truly enraged both the Su and Sun families.
If they let Song Xiaodong continue running amok, wouldn’t the main players of the two families be taken care of, and wouldn’t their family power be significantly reduced?
Song Xiaodong himself did not have such great capabilities, but there were others biding their time.
The Su and Sun families were the largest local families, but that didn’t mean there were no other competitors. There were some slightly smaller families also with considerable strength, and they were not content to remain subordinate; given the chance, they would certainly want to weaken the power of the two families.
