Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Soon, they arrived at Xiao Wan's residential complex.

Song Yun, accompanied by Ye Qingqing, entered and found the building where the elder cousin's family lived, seeing that there were still thirty or forty people holding their cellphones, apparently filming something.

Seeing someone wanting to enter, the crowd parted to make a narrow path.

Song Yun's brows were tightly furrowed as he went upstairs and knocked on the elder cousin's door.

But after knocking several times, it was as if there was no one inside.

That shouldn't be right. With so many people downstairs watching, it proved that his cousin must be at home; why wasn't she opening the door?

Having no choice, Song Yun took out his phone and called Xiao Wan.

Once she learned that Song Yun was the one knocking, some noise came from inside the apartment, and a few minutes later, the door opened a crack. Xiao Wan saw that it was just Song Yun and his sister-in-law outside, and quickly welcomed them in.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally here. Those bastards came to make trouble again last night; it was frightening!"

Xiao Wan leaned into Ye Qingqing's arms, sobbing softly.

Song Yun looked around the room and saw that there were more than ten Tianyu Company security guards in the living room. These people clearly hadn't slept all night and looked very exhausted.

"You've all worked hard. I'll give you a bonus after this is over!"

"To protect the boss's family is an honor for us," the head of security respectfully said. "It's just that those people's actions were too despicable. They run when we call the police, and as soon as the officers leave, they come back, keeping everyone tense all the time."

"Don't worry, I'm here today to resolve this issue."

Song Yun comforted everyone and then saw the elder cousin's father sitting on the sofa with a vacant expression.

"Uncle, where is my elder cousin?" Song Yun asked curiously.

"Your aunt has a weak heart and can't stay up all night, so I let her go to sleep."

Xiao Wan rubbed his face, this middle-aged man, once known for his scholarly identity, now looked utterly defeated. He really couldn't understand if those people outside had any conscience at all. Putting themselves in others' shoes, could they really do as they claimed?

"Uncle, you should also get some rest. The sky won't fall."

Song Yun said earnestly, "Not a single one of those people will get away!"

"Ah, I can't sleep with things on my mind. Song Yun, I realized today that indeed, interests can change a person. Before now, those neighbors were so friendly, but what about now? Each one has a despicable face, repulsive! They don't even think about when trouble struck our family, it was my father who rushed to help first, and yet they still want to disturb his peace!!!"

The more Xiao Wan spoke, the more agitated he became, and he raised his favorite jade ruyi, smashing it to the ground with force, as he looked up and bellowed angrily, "Unfilial! Utterly unfilial!"

"Calm down, calm down. The matter has yet to be dealt with; you don't want to fall ill first."

Song Yun quickly patted his uncle's back, realizing that the neighbors' actions were even more excessive than what Xiao Wan had described over the phone, which must be why this normally honest man was cursing so angrily.

"I saw them all downstairs; if you can't sleep, why don't you come down with me to take a look at the situation?"

Upon hearing Song Yun's words, Xiao Wan nodded his head fiercely.

As for Xiao Wan, Song Yun did not ask her to join them to avoid stirring up more trouble.

The four of them, along with two security guards, went downstairs.

When the group of neighbors saw Xiao Wan, they all started to whisper amongst themselves.

"Old Xiao, coming out for breakfast?"

"I'm saying you, old man, were really not playing fair, calling the cops last night. If not for my quick getaway, I'd be behind bars today,"

"Yeah, yeah, the big brothers in my live stream were over the moon when they got Xiao Wan's clothes yesterday. If Xiao Wan ever has any old clothes she doesn't want anymore, you can give them out to everyone, right?"

Song Yun's gaze gradually turned colder as he listened to their words.

Perhaps sensing the shift in the atmosphere, the neighbors finally noticed Song Yun. After locking eyes with him, they each shivered and looked down.

Why was this young man's stare so piercing? Like an eagle's, just one glance caused their eyes to ache.

"I'm Xiao Wan's cousin. How do you want to settle this? Let's make it clear."

"If I hear another insulting word," Song Yun said coldly, "you can just wait for death!"

"Who the hell do you think you are? Acting all high and mighty!"

"A young kid representing the Xiao Family? You must be joking!"

"Shut up!"

An enforcer stepped forward and rebuked sharply, "This gentleman is the big boss of Tianyu Company. Think twice before personally attacking him, weighing your own worth!"

The big boss of Tianyu Company???

The crowd was stunned. Through their internet surfing over time, they knew Tianyu was at the height of its influence, with substantial assets; if they offended this young man, they probably wouldn't end well.

"Heh heh... you've got quite the temper for a young man..."

"Yeah, yeah, we were just joking around; don't take it seriously."

"Since you're Xiao Wan's cousin, you're practically our junior. How could we personally attack you?"

Xiao Wan witnessed once more just how shameless these neighbors could be; he pointed at them, so furious he was shaking all over.

"You bunch of bastards! Weren't you all talking about digging up the Xiao Family's ancestral grave yesterday!!! Stop faking it!!!"

With these words, the people's faces couldn't help but show their embarrassment. Although they really wanted to use the old Xiao Family patriarch to threaten the family, it was only wishful thinking, as they didn't dare to actually do it.

"Old Xiao, I was drunk and joking yesterday. Why did you take it seriously? Don't you think you're being a bit paranoid?"

The ringleader from the previous night's commotion stood out.

"Zhang Shihai! You were the one making the biggest fuss among them. Were you the one who sent people to make trouble at my father's gravesite last night?"

Xiao Wan felt his anger surge at the sight of this hoodlum.

Zhang Shihai shrugged, looking completely at ease. He had been in the society for many years and had become impervious to influence. Even if the Xiao Family backed him into a corner, or threw him in jail, he wouldn't be afraid.

"I didn't do anything. Don't spit blood at me! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation! You're not young anymore, Old Xiao. How can you not distinguish between jest and earnest? Really now...

sigh."

Song Yun stared at him, asking with a cold and deliberate tone, "A joke? If I say I'm going to dig up your family's ancestral graves today, would you find it funny?"

Zhang Shihai wanted to stubbornly retort with 'whatever', but seeing the seriousness deep within Song Yun's eyes, he grew fearful.

"Were you the one leading yesterday?" asked Song Yun, his expression revealing nothing.

Zhang Shihai, feeling the intensity of that stare, found his mouth dry and brain empty, unable to utter any of the excuses he had prepared.
