Especially Song Yang, Long Zhanyuan saw the shadow of his youth from Song Yang. His personality was like he knew everything and feared nothing.

Since Song Xiuyan was the only one not getting injured, he checked on the men one by one. Except for those who had been killed, others men were heavily injured and they all committed suicide themselves. No survivors. Song Xiuyan looked a little regretful.

“These people are all dead soldiers. Even if we catch them alive, it is difficult to ask anything from them.” General Long Zhanyuan said. That’s why he didn’t stop them from committing suicide.

This battle shocked a lot of people. They watched from a distance, but none of them came forward and took a look. By looking at it from a distance, there were dozens of corpses piled up in the middle of the road. The smell of the corpses was blowing with the wind.

At this moment, the police rushed over after receiving a call. The students and teachers of Lingxi High School came and checked it out. Chen Xuefeng, the ex-headmaster of Lingxi High School, had received a message from General Long Zhanyuan. He was waiting and looking forward because he knew that they would arrive by today. However, he heard the news that someone blocked the road and had a battle at the intersection. By the time Chen Xuefeng and the others arrived, the fight was over.

After seeing the blood-stained General Long Zhanyuan, Chen Xuefeng breathed a long sigh of relief. He took a big step forward. It seemed like he was not frightened by the corpse on the ground. Both the two old friends held their hands together. Long Zhanyuan seemed to ignore the corpse on the ground too and held Chen Xuefeng’s hand. ” It’s been decades since the last time we met, but Mr Chen is still the same! ” Chen Xuefeng said with emotion.

Chen Xuefeng ignored the corpse on the ground and sighed, ” Mr Long, it has been decades since we last met each other. It’s good to see you are still well and energetic! Come on, let’s go over there and catch up.”

Just as Chen Xuefeng was about to turn and leave, he saw Song Xiuyan helping Song Yang with bandaging. “Song Xiuyan? Why are you here?” he was surprised and asked.

Song Xiuyan bowed to Chen Xuefeng, ” I just passed by here and recognized General Long Zhanyuan, so I gave him help.”

Long Zhanyuan didn’t expect Song Xiuyan to be from Lingxi High School. “Let’s go back to school and bandage the wound,” he said.

All of them followed Dean Chen Xuefeng into the school. The police confirmed the identity of General Long Zhanyuan and immediately requested a doctor. They notified the mayor and cordoned off the scene in a quick move. The intercepted case occurred in the Lingxi town, and the victim was General Long Zhanyuan who was holding the military power of the country. Fortunately, those criminals did not succeed. Otherwise, the mayor and government would be in big trouble.

Back at Dean Chen Xuefeng’s place, Long Zhanyuan and his followers had treated their wounds and put on clean clothes. They always brought the medicine with them and even gave a bottle to Song Yang. The followers of General Long Zhanyuan thanked the Song brothers for their life-saving grace. Song Xiuyan was introverted and didn’t talk much, so both of them became familiar with extrovert Song Yang.

After finding out about the Song Xiuyan family situation from Chen Xuefeng, Long Zhanyuan immediately took out a card to Song Xiuyan. The way he spoke was straightforward like a soldier. “Song brothers, I will never forget the life-saving grace of yours. In the future, just let me know whenever you guys need help. This money is just to convey my gratitude.” he said.

Song Xiuyan refused by shaking his head.

Dean Chen Xuefeng looked anxiously at the side. “Take it first. You can’t abandon your studies because of money issues. Your talent shouldn’t be buried.” he tried to persuade Song Xiuyan.

Song Xiuyan stayed still, but he knew that Dean Chen Xuefeng said it with good intention. He explained, “Old Dean, before this I promised that I’m leaving school temporarily. No worries, I will take the exam next year. For the money issue, I’ll figure it out myself.”

General Long Zhanyuan had read countless people. He knew that Song Xiuyan had something on his mind. ” I am a straightforward person. Instead of money, is there something important that you need my help with?” He pulled Song Xiuyan aside and asked in whispers.

This was what Song Xiuyan waited for Long Zhanyuan. He explained the reason they were here that afternoon and why Song Yang was being bitten by a poisonous snake. After that, he took out a stack of portraits. “If General Long can help me to find out who is trying to harm my brother, I will never forget your help!” he said.
