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

The old man's eyes flashed with a trace of wariness, he vividly remembered how this man had stirred trouble and unrest across various circles more than a decade ago.

As a presiding elder in the family clan, he appeared imposing to outsiders, but should he bring disaster upon the family, the clan leader would never spare him!

"Song Bu, the green mountains will not change, the green waters will forever flow! We shall see," he said.

The old man pulled out an iron egg from his pocket and smashed it hard on the ground, instantly filling the room with a thick black fog. When visibility was restored, the old man had vanished without a trace.

"Husband! Are you alright?"

Ye Qingqing tightened her clothes and quickly ran to Song Yun's side to check his injuries. Thankfully, Song Yun's physique was incredibly robust, and now, at the very least, he could stand up.

"Why didn't the system give out any rewards this time?"

Song Yun frowned and warned his father, "Dad, look for that bastard again. I have a feeling he hasn't left!"

"Hahaha, you sure have a strong sixth sense, kid. Too bad you're Song Bu's son, on the list to be killed!"

The old man let out bursts of sinister laughter, his figure darting about the rooftop before finally leaving.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing this task. You are rewarded with three opportunities for explosive increases in combat power!"

"System, to what extent can the combat power surge?"

"Ding! The system will assess the host's current combat value, and provide an enhancement of around 10 times!"

10 times!

If he had had this ability earlier, combating the old man would have been a breeze!

"Mom and Dad, why did you suddenly come back?"

Song Yun gathered Huang Baoding and the other two in the living room. After checking them over and finding no serious issues aside from Huang Baoding's cracked ribs, which would heal after a few months of rest, he was relieved.

Song Bu sat on the sofa, looking at his son with questioning eyes. Although he was abroad, he always paid close attention to information about his son; Song Yun, though shrewd from childhood, definitely lacked the ability to become the top businessman of Magic Capital, let alone possess so many skills!

Who did he learn from?

Song Bu was deeply worried. He didn't want his son to become a sacrifice for some organization, nor did he wish to outlive his offspring!

"I wanted to surprise you after wrapping up business abroad."

Song Bu lit a cigarette and asked, "Son, find us a room to talk."

"Ah?"

Song Yun was somewhat perplexed, but after comforting Ye Qingqing, he led his father to the study.

"Have you been in contact with some people you shouldn't have?"

Sitting on the chair, Song Bu brooded for a while before finally asking.

Song Yun licked his somewhat dry lips, unsure of how to answer his father. He couldn't simply say, "I've always been a lackey until one day I awakened and vowed never to be one again; the heavens saw my sincerity and gave me a check-in system, so that's why I've become so awesome," could he? He wouldn't believe it himself!

"I met an old man in university..."

"Stop! Do you think I would believe such a childish story? Song Yun, I am your father! I know you inside out since you were a kid; you have no talent in business! If you were now working within the system and had climbed up to a small director level, I might believe that! But now you are the top businessman in Magic Capital!

And you know fighting, medical skills, and other abilities! Who taught you?"

Song Bu snuffed out his cigarette in a fit of irritability.

Song Yun genuinely did not know how to start explaining, so for a moment the atmosphere in the study became eerily quiet.

"What is the purpose behind the powers backing you?"

"I..."

Song Yun was at a loss for words, then sighed deeply and said, "In truth, I really don't have any backing. The only somewhat influential connection I have now is the Ouyang Family."

"What about your abilities?"

"I truly learned them on my own!"

"How come I didn't know..."

"That's the long story that comes with a child not having a mother around. You two are always traveling abroad, how would you know about my affairs?"

Song Bu's face turned red with frustration, realizing his son kept some things from him, just as he had done himself!

"Dad, I have to ask you, why have you been abroad all these years? Why did you, with such an impressive identity, live incognito in Magic Capital? Why didn't you tell me anything?"

Song Yun pressed with question after question, putting Song Bu under pressure.

"Sigh... Actually, your mother is a maiden from a prominent family in Forty-nine City. Back then, your grandfather didn't agree to our love..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Still trying to fib? Ouyang Shu, the old gentleman, told me that back in Forty-nine City, you were the new leading figure of your generation, the object of countless women's affection; even the direct daughter of the number one family in the heavens would be a fitting match for you!"

Song Yun, quite infuriated, lit a cigarette. He didn't want to be fooled like an idiot any longer!

"This… you certainly have changed since you were a kid, so inquisitive back then!"

Song Bu smacked his lips and sighed.

"You've grown up too, and it's time you knew some things."

"Back when I went to Forty-nine City to study, I found an ancient book while browsing Panjiayuan. That book contained many profound things..."

"Dad! Can you stop lying to me? Why does it sound like you're steering this towards the supernatural!"

"I'm not lying to you!" Song Bu said earnestly, "That book contained a lot of knowledge about genetics and pharmacology. I don't know why these topics would be in an ancient book, but when I set out to verify them and actually made one, I really did manage to create it!"

"I used white mice for a few experiments, and found it to be a kind of cell stimulant, without any side effects!"

"However, the experiment somehow was leaked out, and many families sent people to contact me in secret. I knew this research could bring a cataclysm to mankind, so I burned the ancient book and halted the experiment, angering a lot of powerful figures."

"At that time, your mother got pregnant with you, and for our family, I had no choice but to live under a false name in Magic Capital."

"..."

A tension slowly rose in Song Yun's heart. Could it be that the old man earlier came for the drug, possibly related to his father?

"Dad, I want you to look at something..."

Song Yun silently opened the safe and took out the drug, handing it to Song Bu.

Song Bu took it, feeling the cool glass test tube wrapped in cloth.

He slowly unwrapped it, revealing a pale blue drug before him.

Song Bu was somewhat surprised and held the drug up to the sunlight, then sighed and wrapped it up again.

"Do you know what this is?"

"Well... if I'm not mistaken, it is one of the experimental products I made back then."

Song Bu said with emotion, "This particular drug was originally designed to enhance the body, to temporarily increase a user's combat power, but ultimately it failed. Reality proved that anything against natural law comes with side effects."

"Every mouse injected with this drug would enter a frenzy within seconds, lose the ability to distinguish friend from foe, kill any living being in sight, and eventually die from organ failure!"

"I named this drug: 'The Call of Hell'!"
