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

Having dealt with the matters at hand, Song Yun planned to personally go to Forty-nine City to pick up Ye Qingqing and her group.

But before leaving, he received a phone call from the Ouyang Family patriarch.

"Song Yun, there's an auction tomorrow in Forty-nine City, care to join?"

"Auction?"

"Yes, not only will I be there, but all the notable families in Forty-nine City will be in attendance!"

Song Yun was slightly taken aback by the Ouyang patriarch's words, as he knew that the old man generally disliked making a show in such matters.

Not to mention dragging him along to make an appearance. Could there be something he didn't know?

"Patriarch, give me some background, are there going to be some important figures attending tomorrow?"

Song Yun cautiously asked.

Who would have expected that the Ouyang patriarch would fall silent on the other end of the phone, and finally let out a sigh, speaking slowly, "Don't ask, just bring enough money."

As the Ouyang patriarch hung up the phone, Song Yun scratched his head, the feeling of being kept in suspense was truly unpleasant!

He first went to see his old man to ask if he wanted to go with him to Forty-nine City.

But due to Tie Mu and the heavy workload at the research institute, Song Bu could only regretfully decline.

On his trip to Forty-nine City, Song Yun only took Huang Baoding with him. The two flew on a private plane and arrived in Forty-nine City in the afternoon.

After leaving the airport, a driver from the Ouyang Family was already waiting quietly.

Once in the car, Song Yun noticed a middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat, a stranger he had never seen before!

The man appeared to be over forty, an age when a man's energy, strength, and experience are at their peak.

"Hello, President Song, I'm the patriarch's new assistant, my name is Yang Jiahao, you can call me Xiao Yang."

"No, no, no, with your age, calling you Uncle Yang would be more than appropriate."

Song Yun said politely, "May I know if the patriarch called me here in such a hurry just for the auction tomorrow?"

"This..."

Yang Jiahao's expression turned somewhat grim. His fists were clenched, and it seemed as though a fury was hidden deep within his eyes!

"You better not mention this in front of the patriarch. Last night, the patriarch already fainted from anger over this and had it not been for the timely rescue by the doctors, he might have..."

"Damn it!"

Song Yun was stunned, what on earth had happened?

The patriarch was referred to as the Wise Fox behind closed doors in Forty-nine City, and although he was known for his fiery temper, most of it was an act tailored to the situation he was in!

In reality, the patriarch never let any slip occur regarding the control of his emotions.

Had he really lost control just because of an auction last night?

This made Song Yun suddenly feel as if dark clouds were looming over his head, as if there was a big trap waiting for him to fall into.

Owing to the patriarch's condition, the driver took them straight to the hospital.

Upon entering the ward for senior officials, Song Yun saw the patriarch lying in bed, staring blankly out the window.

Even the arrival of Song Yun and the others failed to rouse him.

"Sir, Song Yun has arrived!"

"Ah? Oh!"

The Ouyang patriarch slowly turned his head, his gaze somewhat sorrowful as he looked at Song Yun, saying, "Is there any way to make my body recover quickly? I would like to attend the auction tomorrow."

"Patriarch, as the saying goes, illness comes on horseback but departs on foot. If possible, we should still focus on recovering in peace."

Song Yun sat in the chair next to the patriarch's hospital bed and comforted him, "And how did you get so suddenly angry? Although I've already gone through your body once, that doesn't mean your body functions have no issues."

Song Yun's words were by no means an exaggeration; no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't magically restore someone's various health indicators to their peak.

All things considered, the Ouyang patriarch was just too old!

If it had been any ordinary elderly person, they might have left this world directly due to the infuriation they suffered last night!

"Ah..."

The Ouyang patriarch sighed deeply and slowly said, "Do you know what's going to be auctioned tomorrow?"

"What?"

Song Yun was extremely curious about the auction. To him, no matter how prestigious an auction was, it would feature nothing more than antiques and gems.

But that alone shouldn't be enough to make the patriarch this angry!

"Tomorrow's finale auction will have two items, one is a siheyuan, and the other..."

The Ouyang patriarch's eyes widened as he shouted in pain, "The other is a horse's head!"

"What???"

Song Yun exclaimed in shock, "Fuck! Seriously? Don't fool me with this!"

"Heh, you can't believe it either, right? Someone's trying to make money from an object stolen from our family, the shame of it!"

The Ouyang patriarch said with a mournful laugh, "But we have no choice but to take the bait, because it's not just an antique. It's the beginning of a tragic era! It's a piece of history that cannot be forgotten!"

"Fuck!"

Song Yun clenched his fists tightly, feeling an urge to start a fight with someone!

Just as the Ouyang patriarch had said, the artifact itself wasn't of great value, but what it symbolized was a pain that could not be erased from the heart of any compatriot!

"So no matter what, I must attend the auction tomorrow! Even if I'm carried there, I must see it with my own eyes returning to our home!"

The Ouyang patriarch said with a resolute tone.

Song Yun took a deep breath and began to check the Ouyang patriarch's pulse on his own initiative.

Truth be told, the patriarch's condition was very poor, but it was only because of the timely medical intervention that no complications ensued.

This was indeed a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

Still, even so, the idea of him walking around tomorrow was unrealistic.

Under the hopeful gaze of the Ouyang patriarch, Song Yun clenched his teeth and asked, "Do you have to go?"

"I must go!"

"Alright!"

Song Yun no longer planned to treat the patriarch in conventional ways.

Since the other party's condition was due to the anger affecting his heart meridians, he decided to directly channel True Qi to protect the heart meridians and for a bit of nourishment.

The treatment lasted till the evening, and Song Yun was barely able to open his eyes. At that moment, he was as weak as if all the energy had been drained from his body, lacking even the strength to move his fingers.

At this point, forget a master combatant; even a child wielding a weapon could have taken Song Yun down without a fight.

"You should have a good night's sleep tonight. I promise you will be able to walk tomorrow."

Song Yun said with a hoarse voice.

The Ouyang patriarch, seeing Song Yun's condition, knew the price the other had paid for his health!@@novelbin@@

"Little Yang, take Song Yun and rest in the ward next door!"

"Yes!"

Yang Jiahao and Huang Baoding supported Song Yun as they left the room.

The ward area for veteran cadres was usually full, so making room at short notice was extremely difficult, but thanks to the patriarch's orders, everything was arranged properly within half an hour.
