Chapter 465: Chapter 466: Layout

Finding a hotel, once he had arranged accommodations for the two people, Xu Hao eagerly asked, "Eldest Brother, what do you want us to do this time?"

Song Xiaodong looked at the two of them, his expression turning solemn as he said, "I have to tell you something, I recently discovered that I was actually picked up by my parents."

"What?" Xu Hao looked at Song Xiaodong in shock, exclaiming aloud, while Shen Ning also tilted her head, her eyes showing a hint of surprise. They both knew everything about Song Xiaodong’s situation, aware that he had only one sister; the sudden emergence of such a revelation was completely unexpected.

"It’s true, I’ve confirmed it, and my background might not be simple either, because I possess a very special token," Song Xiaodong said, taking out the small token.

Xu Hao and Shen Ning each took turns carefully examining the token. Xu Hao said, "The material of this token is very unique, it’s definitely not something ordinary."

Shen Ning didn’t speak, but she nodded nonetheless.

"Kexin also has a round token like this one. She took it out a while ago..."

Song Xiaodong briefly explained the auction, and then he elaborated on the incident where someone attempted to kill Feng Kexin.

Xu Hao furrowed his brows and said, "So you’re saying that the people who own this token are likely to be targeted?"

"I’m not entirely sure at the moment, but when I went back to the old house with my sister a while ago, I also encountered an assassin with very skilled moves, and who is proficient with flying needles; I didn’t manage to hold onto her."

Song Hao and Shen Ning were shocked once again; they were well acquainted with Song Xiaodong’s strength, and the fact that Song Xiaodong, with his abilities, had let someone escape indicated that the opponent’s strength was certainly formidable.

Such a person couldn’t possibly be just a regular petty thief; there had to be a specific purpose.

Song Xiaodong continued, "I thought it was old enemies seeking vengeance at first, but now I think it might also be because of this token."

Touching his chin, Xu Hao commented, "Then this affair does indeed seem quite bizarre; could it be that your family encountered some major disaster, and children like you were sent out to save your lives?"

Song Xiaodong recounted all of his recent suspicions and thoughts in detail, which seemed to sober Xu Hao and Shen Ning quite a bit.

Xu Hao inquired, "It seems this matter is indeed not simple. Eldest Brother, now that we’re here, do you have any specific plans?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "I intended to have Spider protect Kexin discreetly for the time being. It would be best if we could catch a live one so we could follow the trail. Otherwise, our opponents are completely hidden, which makes me feel quite passive."

Shen Ning nodded. Given her status, even billionaires couldn’t afford to hire her protection, but she would agree without hesitation to matters involving Song Xiaodong, even if Feng Kexin was merely a little girl.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Xu Hao, you’ll be conducting a covert investigation. Sweep through anyone who has had contact with Kexin and see if you can find any clues or tracks."

Xu Hao also nodded, saying, "Alright, leave it to me."

Song Xiaodong stated, "Okay, that’s all we can set for now. Let’s go have a few drinks; it’s been a long time since we all drank together."

Having not seen these two for a while, Song Xiaodong was very happy. The four of them started to drink at the hotel’s restaurant, drinking until late into the night, until they were all thoroughly inebriated.

Song Xiaodong had ways to sober up, but when drinking with his brothers, it was all about that dizzy, merry sensation. If he resorted to tricks, it would be cheating and would spoil the fun.

Waking up the next day, Song Xiaodong found himself astonishingly sharing a bed with Feng Kexin, though fortunately, they were both clothed. However, his head was resting on her chest with his face almost buried between her breasts.

This position was embarrassingly intimate, and Song Xiaodong quickly sat up.

"Bro, you’re awake," Feng Kexin immediately opened her eyes.

"Oh... I really drank too much," Song Xiaodong said somewhat awkwardly.

Feng Kexin chuckled softly and said, "You’re my brother, what’s the big deal if we sleep together? Look at you, all embarrassed."

Seeing Feng Kexin’s relaxed attitude, Song Xiaodong felt he might have been overthinking and shook his head, saying, "You’re right. But I must have given you quite a hard time after drinking so much."

"It wasn’t much. Just that your body’s kind of heavy. Getting you onto the bed tired me out. Besides, you slept with your head on my chest all night, which made it really hard for me to sleep. I’m going to sleep some more; I won’t attend my morning classes."

Song Xiaodong hurriedly said, "Alright then, you sleep. I’m going to find those two guys," and he quickly slipped out of the room.

Although Feng Kexin kept calling him "brother," Song Xiaodong wasn’t completely sure whether they were actually related by blood. Therefore, sharing a bed like this still seemed quite improper, especially since Feng Kexin mentioned Song Xiaodong resting on her chest, which truly made him feel embarrassed.

Spider Shen Ning and Wolf Fang Xu Hao were already awake, and the three discussed in detail some aspects of their plan which weren’t convenient to talk about in front of Feng Kexin.

Finally, after establishing a comprehensive plan and as it was getting late, Song Xiaodong took Feng Kexin back to school while Shen Ning had already begun her protection plan, secretly following Feng Kexin.

From now on, Song Xiaodong wouldn’t be seeing them for a while. These two were now his secret trump cards. If the other side was playing dirty, naturally he couldn’t lay all his cards on the table.

Song Xiaodong had just arrived at the company building, ready to enter, when the door of a van swung open, and four men rushed out.

"You’re Song Xiaodong, right?" one of them asked with a stern face.

"Correct!" Song Xiaodong responded indifferently.

The man with a stern face said, "All right, then come with us. We are from the Hedong Sub-bureau, and we need your assistance with an investigation."

Song Xiaodong’s mouth curled slightly, "Sure, I am a law-abiding citizen, and it’s my duty to cooperate with the police."

Even if he had to guess with his butt, Song Xiaodong would know what was going on with these people—they were definitely sent by that guy, Su Yawei. The kid hadn’t managed to deal with him through thugs and now he was actually misusing his authority.

Since this kid wanted to play, Song Xiaodong didn’t mind playing along. And for those who abused power, Song Xiaodong was absolutely not going to be polite.

Another update is coming at three-thirty.
