Chapter 569: Chapter 570: I Must Go

Song Xiaoru slept very soundly while Song Xiaodong lay on another bed beside her. Miao Qingqing and the others sat on the sofa in the hospital room, which was exceptionally quiet. This situation had already lasted for two hours.

Song Xiaodong opened his eyes and then slowly sat up. Everyone’s gaze turned towards him. He opened his mouth but no one made a sound.

Song Xiaodong stood by the bed and looked at Song Xiaoru. A wave of hatred surged up from his heart again. Although Song Xiaoru’s major injuries had been treated, she still had numerous external wounds.

Not only were there many injuries, but many of them were very serious, literally skin torn and flesh gaped open. There was hardly a spot on her body that wasn’t damaged, especially a cut on her face so deep it almost reached the bone, which was even more severe.

These wounds were all bandaged now, but once Song Xiaoru’s body had recovered, those scars would likely remain on her body.

"Let’s go outside," said Song Xiaodong, knowing that these people must have a lot of questions they wanted to ask him. He had just been sleeping to regain his strength, and they must have been very anxious.

Everyone filed out one after another.

Miao Xuanxuan immediately rushed to ask, "Sister Xiaoru won’t have any problems, right?"

Song Xiaodong said, "I have treated the major injuries. It won’t take too long for her to recover normally."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Miao Qingqing still felt that Song Xiaodong was very cautious and carefully asked, "Is there any other... hidden danger?"

"Hmm, my sister has too many wounds, and they are quite severe. I fear they will leave scars, especially on her face... Alas."

"Ah!" All the women covered their mouths. For a woman, looks are even akin to life itself. For a beauty like Song Xiaoru, if scars were left on her face, it was hard to imagine how she would face that.

"Can you fix this?" Miao Qingqing quickly asked, "I remember when we first met, my leg was injured. You used silver needles to stitch the wound, and later, there were no scars on my leg."

Song Xiaodong sighed and said, "Your injury was minor, so it was easy to deal with. But my sister has too many injuries, and at that time, I could only choose to save her life and couldn’t attend to the ordinary wounds on her skin. We have already missed the best opportunity."

"Then..." The group suddenly found themselves speechless, with visibly distressed expressions.

"Brother-in-law, who did this?" Miao Xuanxuan gritted her teeth.

"Sun Zi’ang," Song Xiaodong said flatly, uttering these three words.

"It’s that bastard again!" Miao Xuanxuan clenched her fists in anger.

Miao Qingqing shook her head, guiltily saying, "It’s our fault that Sister Xiaoru suffered."

Miao Xuanxuan’s face suddenly changed, and she turned her gaze towards Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "This isn’t your fault. I will settle this score. My sister will be fine for now. You all have had a tough couple of days, please take good care of my sister. I am going... to settle the score with Sun Zi’ang."

"What... what are you going to do?" Miao Qingqing grabbed Song Xiaodong’s arm.

Song Xiaodong closed his eyes briefly, then slowly opened them again and said with unwavering determination, "I’m going to kill him!"

Miao Qingqing and the others were immediately shocked, and Xiao Yingying immediately responded, "Well said, such scum must be killed." In her world, one should act on their feelings of vengeance, and for what Sun Zi’ang had done, he deserved to die.

Miao Qingqing, however, frowned and said, "Dongzi, I hope you can calm down. Murder is not a solution to problems; it will bring legal consequences upon you."

Song Xiaodong stared into Miao Qingqing’s eyes and slowly replied, "This isn’t me being impulsive. If my sister hadn’t been lucky, she would be dead now. And now that Sun Zi’ang has found someone to take the blame, the law cannot punish him, so let me settle this grudge."

Miao Qingqing tightly gripped Song Xiaodong’s arm and said, "But... if you really kill him, then you’ll be sentenced too. Have you thought about it? What would Xiaoru think when she wakes up and learns of this consequence?"

"Don’t worry, if the Sun family dares to do this, then I, Song Xiaodong, won’t bear any legal responsibility just because I kill this Sun Zi’ang. I have my family, and all of you are my family; I won’t plunge our home into chaos over a moment of anger, trust me."

Meeting Song Xiaodong’s gaze, Miao Qingqing locked eyes with him for a full minute before slowly letting go, embracing Song Xiaodong, and softly saying, "Then be very careful."

Song Xiaodong patted Miao Qingqing’s shoulder, and as she stepped back, Xiao Yingying immediately moved into Song Xiaodong’s embrace and said, "Husband, I’d love to see you wield your power, but I won’t trouble you. I’ll obediently wait for you at home."

A smile appeared on Song Xiaodong’s face, and he also patted her back.

After Xiao Yingying left, Miao Xuanxuan came over and hugged Song Xiaodong, saying, "Brother-in-law, be careful! When you return, I’ll agree to you."

Only the two of them knew what this meant; normally, Song Xiaodong would have been thrilled, but at that moment, he just nodded.

Lin Su’er hesitated for a moment, but Song Xiaodong took the initiative to open his arms and hugged her, saying, "While I’m away, halt the experiments, don’t waste my treasures."

"Got it," Lin Su’er quickly released Song Xiaodong, her heart pounding. This was a hug in front of Miao Qingqing, truly frightening.

"Alright! I’m off! I’ll leave everything here to you guys." After saying that, Song Xiaodong strode off without a moment’s pause.

Watching Song Xiaodong’s fading figure, everyone remained motionless for a long time until he disappeared from their sight.

Miao Qingqing sighed softly and said, "I’m really worried."

Xiao Yingying immediately responded, "Sister Qingqing, you don’t have to worry. Brother Dongzi isn’t someone who acts rashly based on impulse and ignores everything else."

"If it were anything else, he could remain calm, but this matter started because of Sister Xiaoru. In Dongzi’s eyes, Xiaoru is his untouchable scale; I’m really afraid that he won’t be able to control his emotions."

"But this is something Brother Dongzi must do. In his eyes, Sister Xiaoru is his untouchable scale, and so are we! If we were treated this way, Brother Dongzi would do the same."

Miao Xuanxuan clenched her fists and said, "Sister, don’t worry. I believe Dongzi knows what he’s doing. He won’t ignore all of us, Xiaoru is his family, and so are we!"

Miao Qingqing sighed softly and could only nod her head. Now, all they could do was pray for Song Xiaodong to be safe.
