Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 445 - 446

Chapter 445: 446

"Who are you?" Erhei zi looked at Song Xiaodong and asked in a deep voice.

Song Xiaodong replied in a deep voice, "It’s none of your business who I am. I’m protecting this person."

Erhei zi said coldly, "You’re protecting them, who do you think you are? You think you can just decide to protect someone?"

"You don’t need to know who I am. Are you going to let the person go or not?" Song Xiaodong asked indifferently.

Lin Gang immediately shouted, "Son-in-law, they tricked me out of my money, the million you gave me, they’ve taken it all. Hurry up and get it back for me."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened as he roared, "Get lost. What the hell are you? Your daughter is nothing but a plaything I bought, you have no right to call me your son-in-law."

Lin Gang’s mouth twitched, and he forced an awkward smile, saying, "Regardless if it’s a plaything or whatever, you’ve been with my daughter, haven’t you? You can’t just get that for free. My daughter is so beautiful; she’s definitely worth your time. And she’s so filial; if she finds out you ignored me getting beaten up, she’d be heartbroken, wouldn’t she?"

Miao Xuanxuan listened to Lin Gang’s words and felt his blood boil. How could someone be such a father? He was nothing but scum. Unconsciously, Miao felt sympathy for Lin Su’er. Having such a father was worse than having none at all.

Song Xiaodong glared fiercely and said, "Your daughter belongs to me. Whether she’s happy or not is my concern. If she’s upset because of someone else, Laozi will kill her myself."

Erhei zi chuckled and said, "Lin Gang, did you hear that? He doesn’t even acknowledge you as his father-in-law. Otherwise, why would he bring another woman here? Buddy, since that’s the case, you shouldn’t meddle."

Song Xiaodong looked at Erhei zi and said, "I definitely won’t bother with him in the future, but this time, for his daughter’s sake, let him go."

Erhei zi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sorry, but if you want me to release him, you’ll have to cough up the money. He still owes me 580,000."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened as he said, "So you’re not giving me face."

"So what if I don’t give you face?" Erhei zi’s face was filled with ferocity.

"You’ve got guts!" Song Xiaodong let out a cold laugh and shouted, "Then you all deserve to die!"

"Die! Big talk!" Erhei zi sneered disdainfully and waved his hand, ordering, "Guys, teach him a lesson on how to behave first, get him!"

Those men immediately rushed forward, intent on knocking Song Xiaodong down first before saying anything.

Song Xiaodong chuckled coldly and said, "Then you are really asking for death!" With a flick of his hand, he suddenly had a dagger, which he brandished as he charged forward, stabbing it straight into the chest of the person at the front. He quickly pulled it out and stabbed it into another person’s abdomen.

"Ah! Ah!" The two men screamed one after the other! They clutched their wounds, blood pouring out immediately.

Lin Gang’s eyes widened in shock. That move was way too ruthless, a direct call for someone’s life.

When gangsters fight, generally they don’t aim to kill, mostly just to cause pain or cow someone. Actually taking a life meant being a desperado.

Lin Gang had fought many fights in his life but had never seen such ruthlessness. At most, fights led to a few days in lockup, maybe a year or two, but this was outright murder. That meant a death penalty.

But what happened next left Lin Gang dumbfounded. He saw Song Xiaodong’s dagger move like lightning, and one by one, those men were all lying on the ground.

Especially when dealing with Erhei zi, he slit his throat with a direct slash. Blood spurted from Erhei zi’s neck like an arrow, splattering his face.

"All taken care of." Song Xiaodong said indifferently, then threw the dagger to the ground and told Lin Gang, "Scram."

Lin Gang’s mouth twitched, and he tried to stand, but at this point, he was so frightened that he had no strength in his legs and couldn’t even get up.

Song Xiaodong grabbed him, his icy gaze bearing down on Lin Gang, "Now no one will trouble you, but I think you know better not to speak of this. I don’t want to be holding a dagger in front of you next time."

"No, absolutely not! I won’t say a word; I didn’t see anything," Lin Gang was utterly terrified, his pants wet and soggy.

"Hmph, that’s for the best. I’m not afraid to tell you, Laozi has taken many lives, yours won’t make a difference. Get lost!" Song Xiaodong said, flinging Lin Gang away.

Lin Gang tumbled over ten meters before running away, scrambling and crawling.

He had been in plenty of fights in his life, but he had never witnessed a murder, and he was fully aware of the consequences. If caught, it meant execution by firing squad.

And since this incident arose because of him, if there were any consequences, he would be in trouble too. Most of all, he was terrified of Song Xiaodong. That guy simply didn’t value human life. If he angered Song Xiaodong again, his own life might very well end right there.

After watching Lin Gang run far away, Song Xiaodong said lightly, "Alright, you all get up."

The men who were supposedly killed by Song Xiaodong all got up, and Erhei zi, chuckling, approached Song Xiaodong and said fawningly, "Mr. Song, our performance wasn’t bad, right?"

Song Xiaodong smiled, "Not bad, very realistic. You guys do have some skill, making the blood look so real."

Erhei zi said proudly, "Hehe, when we do a job for Mr. Song, we naturally put our heart into it. We got this fake blood specially from a movie crew and even learned how to use it. How else could it look so realistic?"

Song Xiaodong said, "Alright, after this, you won’t need to hang around here. I’ll speak to Zi Xu, have you placed in the city. He’s recently got some new places and is short of people."

"Thank you, Mr. Song! Thank you, Mr. Song!" Erhei zi’s men were overjoyed. Although they were Chen Zixu’s men, they hadn’t been taken seriously. Now with Song Xiaodong’s word, they were set for a rise in status, especially since Jin Long’s new places in the city were lucrative.

After sending those men away, Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan left together. Sitting in the car, Miao Xuanxuan couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "That was quite a show you guys put on."

Song Xiaodong shook his head, "Lin Su’er’s dad is nothing but an old pimp and gangster. If I don’t scare him witless, he’ll never end the trouble."

Miao Xuanxuan sighed, her face full of sympathy, "Indeed. I’ve never seen such a shameless father. He’s so old yet acts like a hooligan. It’s a miracle Lin Su’er’s made it this far."
