Chapter 1043: It should have been ours to begin with!

In the deep mountains of Nishitama District.

Song Wanting was still carefully and slowly making her way through the valley.

Although it was winter, the valley was very dense with vegetation because of many evergreen plants like pines and cypresses.

Moreover, in this dark, cold valley, there were absolutely no traces of human visitors, so there wasn't even a goat path.

Therefore, walking in such a place was extremely difficult.

Let alone a woman like Song Wanting, even an expert skilled in adventure and traversing would find it hard to increase their speed.

Fortunately, it was the cold winter season, and Song Wanting's clothing was relatively thick. Her upper body was a thickened cashmere trench coat, while her lower body was a black midi skirt paired with black tight-fitting leggings, and a pair of black leather boots, so she wouldn't be hurt by the dense pine needles and dry branches and leaves.

By now, Song Wanting had adapted to the darkness of the valley floor. She could have used her phone with the cracked screen to illuminate the surrounding environment, which would have saved some effort in walking.

However, she was terrified that the people who wanted to harm her wouldn't give up and were still searching for her, so she didn't dare to emit any light.

Occasionally, when she wanted to check if her phone had a signal, she would hide the phone inside her trench coat, wrapping her head and the phone completely within the coat, fearing that any light would leak out.

After groping and moving forward in the valley for two or three hours, although Song Wanting's physical strength remained very vigorous, her hands and face had been repeatedly scratched by the branches and leaves of the trees, and were covered in tiny red marks, some of which were even oozing a bit of blood.

But at this moment, Song Wanting couldn't care about the pain at all. Her only thought was to grit her teeth, walk out of the mountains, and survive.

……

At this time, the private jet Song Rongyu was riding in landed at Tokyo Airport first.

Upon landing, he headed straight for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department without hesitation.

He had already thought it through: coming to Tokyo this time was nothing more than putting on a show for the old man.

Once Song Wanting's body was found, he would first express his grief, then hand the matter over to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to investigate, and he could take Song Wanting's body or ashes back to Jin Ling to hold a grand funeral.

On the way to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department by car, Song Rongyu received a call from the United States.

He pressed the answer button and heard his father, Song Tianming's voice, coming from the other end of the line.

"Hello, Rongyu, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Song Rongyu gave a grunt and said indifferently, "I'm surrounded by my trusted aides, Dad, please rest assured."

Song Tianming then asked, "Have you arrived in Tokyo?"

"Yes, Dad, I have arrived."

Song Tianming asked again, "How did Hashimoto Kin-saki handle things? Was it clean?"

Song Rongyu sneered and said, "It should be quite clean. According to him, the car rolled off a cliff hundreds of meters high and burned into a pile of scrap metal. The people inside are likely burned to charcoal."

Song Tianming said with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good!"

Having said that, he asked again, "By the way, before you came, did your grandfather suspect anything?"

Song Rongyu said, "I don't think so, but I'm not sure if he will suspect anything in the future."

Song Tianming sneered, "It doesn't matter, he doesn't have much of a future left."

Song Rongyu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Dad, are you ready to make a move on Grandfather?"

Song Tianming said, "No, it can't be that fast."

Song Rongyu said with a worried expression, "Dad, don't forget, when that old guy passed the position of family head to Wanting, he said in front of everyone that as long as Wanting didn't have any offspring, the position of the Song family head would have to be inherited by Ye Chen. If we don't resolve the old guy quickly, wouldn't we just be making a wedding dress for Ye Chen?!"

Song Tianming said, "If we make a move on the old guy now, it would be too obvious. First Song Wanting dies in a foreign land, then the old thing dies in Jin Ling. Even if we don't leave any evidence, the outside world will think we did it!"

Song Rongyu asked nervously, "Then what should we do?! We can't really wait for the old thing to invite Ye Chen to take over the Song family, right? If that happens, we'll be finished! We definitely aren't Ye Chen's match!"

Song Tianming said, "You don't need to worry about this. I've had someone get a batch of neuro-drugs used by American agents. In the initial stage after taking them, the user will be incredibly obedient. When the time comes, whatever we say, the old guy will do. At that time, we'll directly have the old guy announce the abolition of the previous verbal agreement and then announce that I will take over as the family head."

Song Rongyu asked, "You just said the drug makes the other party obedient in the initial stage, but what about the middle and later stages? Will the drug wear off?"

"No." Song Tianming sneered, "After taking this drug for a period of time, it will irreversibly destroy a person's brain. Not only can it never be cured, but it can't be detected at all. The symptoms are no different from Alzheimer's disease. At that time, we can just say the old guy was stimulated by Song Wanting's death, so he got Alzheimer's. Anyway, I'll already be the family head, so making him demented is beneficial to us and harmless."

Song Rongyu laughed excitedly, "Dad! Your move is truly brilliant! When the time comes, we'll just keep the old thing like a mascot, and just arrange for a few servants to take care of his eating, drinking, and bathroom needs!"

"Hmm!" Song Tianming laughed viciously and said, "Grandfather just called me, telling me to go back as soon as possible. I've already had someone bring the drugs in through a special channel. Once Song Wanting's funeral is over, I'll find an opportunity to feed them to him!"

Song Rongyu remembered something and said, "Dad, the old guy still has a Rejuvenating Pill! Ye Chen gave it to Song Wanting on her birthday, and she passed it on to the old guy. What if he takes that Rejuvenating Pill and everything returns to normal? We might be in big trouble then!"

Song Tianming said coldly, "Rongyu, don't be afraid! There's no turning back once the bow is drawn! For the sake of the Song family's 200 billion in assets, we must walk this path to the end. If gods block us, kill the gods; if Buddhas block us, kill the Buddhas!"

Having said that, Song Tianming added, "Besides, if the Rejuvenating Pill really can reverse his brain damage, I'll just find an opportunity to give him more medicine. As long as we don't expose that we killed Song Wanting, and don't expose that we gave the old guy medicine, no one will suspect us."

After a pause, Song Tianming sneered, "Besides, even if they suspect, so what? We didn't kill Song Wanting directly. Who can convict us? Everything requires evidence!"

Song Rongyu said, "You're right. As long as there's no evidence proving we were the masterminds, no one can do anything to us!"

Song Tianming snorted coldly, "For this matter, blame the old thing for being too partial! He really thought I, Song Tianming, was a pushover, handing over such a large family fortune to a woman! This time, we are going to take back the entire Song family! I am the eldest son of the Song family, and you are the eldest grandson of the Song family. The Song family should have been ours to begin with!" ===== CHAPTER 1044 =====
