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

Chapter 404 The Nightmare of the Forty-nine City Families!

"for example, hidden family clans?"

song yun tentatively asked.

there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

then, the old man ouyang urgently asked, "what happened???"

"there was a clash, but now it seems that one of my friends has caught their attention."

song yun did not intend to fully disclose the matters of the hidden family clans to others. it wasn't that he didn't trust the old man ouyang, but rather he didn't want to involve him.

"it's a long story. these people hide even deeper than mice. what's more, within their families, there are extraordinary individuals who use formations to disrupt people's perceptions, making it to this day impossible to find any of their families. as far as i know, they share weal and woe and are very cohesive."

"thirty years ago, all the powerful families in forty-nine city put forth an effort to track them down. those who were sent either went mad or disappeared without a trace, and this matter became a nightmare for the clans in forty-nine city!"

hearing this, song yun fell silent.

with the full support of all the families in forty-nine city, their power was beyond strong. yet, even so, they hadn't so much as touched the hem of their enemies' clothes. that song yun had survived the repeated attacks from these hidden family clans could only be described as a blessing from his ancestors!

"song yun, if you are really targeted, remember you must not trust any outsider! some of the radical people in these hidden family clans call themselves divines. they disregard any and all norms and are relentless in their aims, and even those who are relatively mild-mannered will choose an external power to nurture after reaching adulthood, using it to integrate into society."

"yeah, i got it."

"why don't you come stay in forty-nine city for a while? after all, they wouldn't dare to act brazenly in this territory."

old man ouyang suggested.

"sigh, i can't leave."

song yun sighed.

if it were just the corporate group, song yun wouldn't need to worry; he could remotely control any issues that arose. but the grey deer research institute couldn't be moved! with so much equipment, even if he resolved to move to forty-nine city, it would take at least half a year!

by that time, the enemy might have already struck!

"sigh, if it's not possible, i can talk to the higher-ups to see if we can assign someone to protect you."

old man ouyang knew song yun's concerns and also understood that he would not abandon his people for his own survival to hide in forty-nine city.

so the only choice was to find a compromise.

"then thank you very much. oh, and in some time, i may indeed take a trip to forty-nine city. i've developed a potion that can temporarily stimulate the body's potential without causing any side effects. if possible, i'd like to offer it to the military department."

these words from song yun made old man ouyang freeze. human genetic engineering was a notoriously tough challenge, and as far as he knew, there were more than thirty top-tier institutions in forty-nine city working on it.

but all had met with failure.

bai qiu knocked on her son's door and said, "it's just that his mental state is still not good, so you must be careful when you ask him questions."

"okay, mom, i got it."

song yun patted his face to relax his tense muscles, then with a gentle smile, he entered wen shu's room.

"wen shu, how are you feeling?"

"..."

"is there anything that still feels uncomfortable? i'm sorry, i might not have been gentle enough earlier. should we call a doctor to come to the house?"

"..."

"wen shu???"

song yun waved his hand in front of the other person's eyes only to see their pupils slightly dilated—a protective mechanism of the human body. the brain goes into a standby mode to prevent the outside world from causing too deep a stimulation.

if they broke through forcefully, wen shu might instantly fall into a deep coma!

"this is tricky!"

song yun thought to himself. damn it, what did those bastards do to make a young girl go mad at the mere mention of it!

"let me do it."

bai qiu came forward, cradled wen shu in her arms, and began to softly hum a lullaby.

the sound was full of warmth and kindness, instantly soothing one's heart.

half an hour later, wen shu shuddered all over and looked around in a panicked state.

"don't be afraid, don't be scared, you're at home. as long as we're here, no one will hurt you."

bai qiu gently patted her back to comfort her.

wen shu looked at bai qiu with vacant eyes and suddenly burst into tears.

"there, there, i know you have many secrets weighing on your mind, making it hard for you to rest. but we're family now, and you can share all your troubles with me."

"they are coming!"

wen shu said in a choked voice, "they are the enforcement team from the hidden families, and they call themselves gods. anyone who stands in their way gets eliminated!"
