Chapter 964: Chapter 965: Killing Intent

Song Xiaodong looked at Cao Heyang and said slowly, "Then what do you want?"

Cao Heyang took a step forward, clenched his fist, and said, "Kid, you’re alone. Do you really think you can take us on? Do you believe that we could just throw you into the sea and make you another casualty?"

Song Xiaodong sneered coldly and replied, "Then go ahead and try."

Cao Heyang raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, you asked for it." He waved his hand, and the other two men immediately stepped forward, ready to act.

Li Fangding spoke up at this moment, "That’s enough. Since everyone has their own ambitions, let’s not force it. Let’s go."

"Mayor Li!" Cao Heyang frowned.

"Let’s go." Li Fangding waved his hand dismissively.

Cao Heyang hesitated for a moment, glaring at Song Xiaodong before greedily eyeing Miao Qingqing and the other two women. Then, he turned and left with Li Fangding.

Song Xiaodong waited until they were some distance away, then lowered his voice and said, "You guys stay here and don’t wander around. I’ll follow them to check things out."

"Be careful!" Wu Xiaoya quickly reminded him.

Song Xiaodong nodded and quietly followed behind Li Fangding and his group.

After Wu Xiaoya lost sight of Song Xiaodong, she turned her head and saw Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both sitting leisurely with relaxed expressions.

"Aren’t you worried?" Wu Xiaoya asked them in surprise.

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled lightly and said, "What’s there to worry about?"

Wu Xiaoya frowned and said, "Those people are obviously up to no good. They might harm Song Xiaodong. If they discover him, won’t they do something terrible to him?"

Miao Xuanxuan smirked and said, "Them? If it weren’t for our husband being injured, they wouldn’t even be able to stir up trouble. Under normal circumstances, even if all of them combined their strength, they wouldn’t be worth even a finger of his. Even now, despite his injury, there’s no way they can harm him."

"That powerful?" Wu Xiaoya’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the two of them.

"Of course." Miao Xuanxuan winked and said, "You’re certainly concerned about our husband."

Wu Xiaoya’s face immediately turned red, and she quickly replied, "We’re all in the same boat right now. I don’t have any other thoughts, so please don’t misunderstand me."

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled and said, "No problem. Even if you did have some thoughts, we wouldn’t mind."

Wu Xiaoya hurriedly said, "I really don’t! If you keep saying that, I’ll be too embarrassed to stay with you."

Miao Qingqing laughed softly and said, "Alright, Xuanxuan is just teasing you. Don’t take it seriously."

Miao Xuanxuan smiled and didn’t say anything else, but Wu Xiaoya remained embarrassed, feeling that Miao Xuanxuan’s jokes made her a bit uncomfortable.

Song Xiaodong quickly caught up with Li Fangding and his group. Even though his True Qi hadn’t recovered, given the current circumstances, as long as he deliberately hid himself, they wouldn’t be able to detect him at all.

"Mayor Li, we should’ve just grabbed that kid earlier and thrown him into the sea. Why did we let him go?"

"Exactly..." Another guy licked his lips and said, "Those three chicks are absolutely gorgeous, way better than what we’ve got. If we could get them and have some fun, it’d be unbelievable."

Li Fangding said sternly, "Don’t rush things. We do need to get those three chicks, but not in a way that’s too blatant. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to explain to the others. We can’t leave any evidence behind."

Cao Heyang grumbled, "Hmph, those people are surviving thanks to us now. Would they dare say anything? I’d toss her into the sea directly."

Li Fangding rolled his eyes and said, "You really think you’ll stay alive here on this island forever?"

Cao Heyang replied, "There’s nothing wrong here. We’ve got plenty of chicks to mess around with, and no one to stop us—it’s perfect."

Li Fangding said, "You have no perspective. You can mess with women anywhere in the city, can’t you? While there’s enough food here for now, who knows if the climate will change or if we’ll face other dangers? Besides, apart from fooling around, what other entertainment is here? A short stay is fine, but over time, you’ll get bored."

"True enough. Haha, Mayor Li, if we get back, you’ll have to take good care of us."

"Of course. As long as you help me with my tasks, I’ll ensure you make plenty of money. Then you’ll have all the women you want. But for now, our priority is dealing with those few people. They aren’t part of our group, and they could reveal what happened at sea later. That kid definitely still needs to be taken care of."

"Mayor Li, didn’t you just say..." Cao Heyang seemed confused.

Li Fangding said, "I meant earlier, under those conditions, we shouldn’t act. But that doesn’t mean we can’t strike later. When taking someone out, you need to do it in a way that no one knows and no evidence is left behind. If you plan to work for me in the future, you need to master this; otherwise, you’ll get reported for minor things, and how will you make money then?"

Cao Heyang immediately said, "Yes, yes, Mayor Li, you’re right. We were thinking too simplistically. So, we’ll make sure to finish off that guy when no one’s watching."

The other man chimed in, "Exactly. Once those three chicks lose their dependency, they’ll have no choice but to stick with us. Then we can do whatever we want."

"Damn it, women like that should first be enjoyed by Mayor Li. Haha, right, Mayor Li?" Cao Heyang said, full of flattery.

Li Fangding burst into laughter and said, "Don’t worry. We’re all in the same boat. After I’ve had my turn, you’ll have yours too."

"Haha, Mayor Li really is generous. We’ll definitely stick with you and serve you well." Cao Heyang and the others laughed heartily.

Song Xiaodong stopped walking, realizing there wasn’t much more to hear. At this moment, his face grew dark, and his eyes shimmered coldly. These guys were planning to kill him, so he certainly wouldn’t let them off easily.

He turned back to the cave. Wu Xiaoya was about to speak but restrained herself, fearing she was acting too hastily compared to Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing.

"Husband, what did they say?" Miao Qingqing asked.

Song Xiaodong replied flatly, "They’re planning to take me out. I will make sure they don’t return."

Miao Xuanxuan snorted and said, "Those bastards deserve to die. Husband, you have my support."

Miao Qingqing nodded in agreement.

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "You guys rest here for now and don’t wander around. I’m going to make some preparations." Then, he turned and walked away.
