Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Please Uncle, Save Me!
```
As soon as he heard Nangong Han bring up his father, Cheng Liguo felt a massive headache coming on.
His brother-in-law often asked him for favors, but Cheng Liguo's position was not his own to command, and he thought declining once or twice would be enough for the other party to retreat. Instead, the requests intensified, leading Cheng to avoid the Ouyang Family in Forty-nine City unless there was something significant.
As the wine flowed and the courses varied, everyone's spirits started to elevate.
After toasting his uncle, Nangong Han cautiously asked, "Uncle, how come you are here in Magic Capital alone today? Has something big happened?"
Cheng Liguo sobered up a bit upon hearing this and waved his hand, saying, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't."
"It was wrong of your nephew to ask, I'll punish myself with a drink."
Nangong Han downed his drink in one go, when Yi Wenbiao spoke up. He was curious and said, "Secretary Cheng, as a high-ranking official who deals with countless matters daily, what could possibly bring you here in person? Share with us, since none of us are strangers, it'll make for good dinner talk."
A playful light filled the depths of Cheng Liguo's eyes, it seemed Yi Wenbiao was no good person.
However, this was also within his plan. Pretending to be drunk, Cheng licked his lips, appearing troubled.
"Uncle, please tell your nephew so I can learn a thing or two!"
"Alright, but you all mustn't spread this around!"
Cheng Liguo said mysteriously, "I am here today to meet someone on behalf of the old master!"
"Ouyang Shu, the old master???"
Nangong Han exclaimed in surprise. Although he was considered a leading youth in Forty-nine City, he couldn't easily meet Ouyang Shu, a heavyweight not within his reach to curry favor with.
"Uncle Cheng, please tell us, I can't wait to hear more!" Yi Wenbiao was also excited, urging him to continue.
"Don't be in such a rush, let me have a drink of water to clear my throat." Cheng Liguo teased the two of them by slowly drinking a large cup of tea before continuing, "I've come to meet the old master's lifesaver. Some time ago, the old master fainted in a shopping mall while out without anyone accompanying him. Thankfully, he was saved by a young man."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Han's heart pounded furiously.
Fuck!!!!
The lifesaver of Ouyang Shu!!!!
This guy must have stepped in some serious shit to get so lucky!!!
You have to understand that Ouyang Shu is literally a living legend. Wherever he goes, people give him respect. And his lifesaver... I dare not think about it, the guy's future is set!!!
"So how did the Ouyang Family repay this young man?" Yi Wenbiao had never heard such news in Forty-nine City. It was expected that an incident involving the old master would cause an uproar, yet Forty-nine City had been so quiet it was dull.
"That's what I came to tell you! The young man didn't ask for anything, you can imagine how noble his character is!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Han was so envious he could cry. Damn it, are you refusing to accept a face offered to you? Such a golden opportunity in front of your face and you don't know how to cherish it, give it to me! I want it!!!
"Uncle, what's this young man's name? I would like to pay him a visit someday."
Nangong Han was eager to meet the other party.
After all, it seemed like Ouyang Shu held this young man in high regard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his secretary all the way to Magic Capital. If he could become friends with him, it would be like having the chance to meet Ouyang Shu himself!
That's a serious resource!
"You guys should recognize this person." Cheng Liguo said indifferently, "This young man started from scratch and has some fame in Magic Capital."
"???"
Nangong Han was full of question marks. Recognize him?
Started from scratch???
Who is it???
Nangong Han racked his brain for someone who fit the description, wishing he could pry his uncle's mouth open and find out who it was right there and then!
```
If I could establish a good relationship with Ouyang Shu, the benefactor who saved the old man's life, then I would be able to continuously bewitch that person to provide me with an endless supply of resources!
Then, not to mention relying on the Nangong Family, even if I left the family, I would be able to carve out my own territory!
Watching his nephew scratching his head in frustration, Cheng Liguo said with a chuckle, "His name is Song Yun, do you know him?"
"What???"
Nangong Han exclaimed, "Could you say that again? Song Yun???"
How could it be Song Yun!
How could it be Song Yun!!!
He slumped into a chair like a deflated ball, utterly dispirited.
"Hiss..."
Yi Wenbiao also sucked in a breath of cold air. Wasn't Song Yun always active in the Magic Capital? How did he end up in the Forty-nine City saving Ouyang Shu's life? If Song Yun really made contact with the Ouyang Family, it would be hard to proceed with our plans!
Cheng Liguo pretended to know nothing and said in confusion, "Why do you all look so disheartened?"
"This... Uncle Cheng, haven't you been following the recent business circles?" Yi Wenbiao sighed and asked.
"I've been evaluating a project recently. What happened?"
"Uncle... I... Sigh..."
Cheng Liguo slammed his hand on the table and roared, "What kind of man are you, cowering like that! If you have something to say, just say it!"
At this moment, Nangong Han had no intention of explaining. He looked at the ground with a vacant gaze as if the alcohol he had just drunk had suddenly gone to his head.
He realized that he didn't understand the other party at all!
Leaning on the Ouyang Family as a big tree, naturally, no one would care; naturally, they could discard the Nangong Family's goodwill.
It wasn't just him who had offended Song Yun; even if his father personally took up the matter, facing Ouyang Shu standing behind Song Yun, he would probably have to kneel and beg for mercy!
He hated himself, wondering why he had to be so hot-headed to tough it out with Song Yun in the end!
Why didn't he understand that stepping back could lead to a boundless future?
If he had established a good relationship with Song Yun upon arriving in the Magic Capital, wouldn't he have soared high by now???
Agony, resentment, jealousy, entanglement...
All these negative emotions swirled around in Nangong Han's mind.
In the end, only one thought remained: it's over!
If the Nangong Family found out, they would definitely discard him without a second thought, for no one would want to offend Ouyang Shu for one person's sake!
Everything was over!
"Yi Wenbiao, you speak!"
Cheng Liguo asked furiously, "I want to know everything!"
Yi Wenbiao could only recount all the conflicts between Song Yun and the Nangong Family that had occurred recently.
Cheng Liguo actually knew it all along and was just pretending.
He kicked Nangong Han and said through gritted teeth, "You've caused a big problem, young man!"
"Uncle, save me, please save me. I am young and have a promising future ahead, I can't let it all be cut off because of this!"
Nangong Han cried and wailed as he clung to Cheng Liguo's legs, "I know I was wrong. I am willing to kowtow and apologize to Song Yun, please uncle, save me!"
