Chapter 977: Chapter 978: Song Xiaodong Returns

"Su Chengquan, Su Qingyuan, you two are indeed bold. Aren’t you afraid that when the Family Head returns, you’ll have absolutely no way out?"

Sun Ziyun’s voice rang out.

Among the women left behind by Song Xiaodong, Song Xiaoru had the highest status, but her character was gentle and calm. She didn’t know how to handle such confrontational situations.

Li Sijie, though considered a boss, only managed a clubhouse. Compared to family power struggles, her scope was far too limited; her vision fell short in this arena.

Lin Su’er was someone who quietly went about her tasks. Even though she had gained some experience during this time, it was still far from enough.

Only Sun Ziyun, bold by nature and groomed by a prominent family, remained utterly fearless in moments like these.

Su Qingyuan’s face darkened, and he said, "Who are you trying to scare here? Song Xiaodong is dead; he won’t be returning. You’re a Sun Family member. You can return to the Sun Family now—I won’t stop you."

Sun Ziyun sneered coldly and said, "I, Sun Ziyun, am Song Xiaodong’s woman, and I will always belong to him. I’m here to stand with my sisters. Let me warn you—it’s better if you don’t act recklessly. Otherwise... when the Family Head returns, it will be your death date."

At this moment, Little Six shouted loudly, "You scoundrels! If you dare touch one of the Misses, I’ll fight you to the death!"

"Well, I touched her—what are you going to do about it?" Su Qingyuan gritted his teeth and started walking toward Sun Ziyun and the others.

"You dare!" Little Six’s eyes burned with rage as he roared furiously.

"Su Xiaoliu, how dare you still provoke me at a time like this! I touched her! I touched her! What now?" Saying this, he reached out toward Song Xiaoru’s face.

"Do you have a death wish?" A voice called out from the crowd.

Upon hearing this voice, Su Qingyuan’s hand instantly recoiled. His face turned pale as a sheet, his legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground.

"Family Head!" Su Qingmiao and Su Yuya shouted with excitement.

Song Xiaoru and the others visibly relaxed. They had known Song Xiaodong was alive, but the uncertainty of his return had weighed heavily on their hearts.

Now that Song Xiaodong had returned, he immediately became their anchor, and it felt as though all the impending crises were no longer a concern.

"Family Head!" All the members of the Su Family stood up, automatically clearing a path for Song Xiaodong, and respectfully greeted him.

Song Xiaodong nodded slightly, walking straight to the center. His eyes swept over the crowd and then landed on Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang.

"You really do have a strong will to survive," Zhou Zhengfang said with a cold sneer and a twitch of his lip.

"If people like you have managed to stay alive, why wouldn’t I?" Song Xiaodong retorted coldly.

Zhou Zhengfang let out a snort and said, "Since you’re alive, this matter no longer involves us. We’re leaving."

With that, Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang turned to leave.

Song Xiaodong said icily, "Since when did my Su Family become a place for you to come and go at will?"

"You intend to detain us?" Zhou Zhengfang sneered, turning back to face Song Xiaodong.

With a grim expression, Song Xiaodong said, "Your Zhou Family and Qiao Family come to the Su Family flaunting your power and interfering in our internal matters. Do you really think you can leave without giving me an explanation?"

Qiao Longyang laughed and said boldly, "Ha... Such big talk! I’ll leave if I wish—what can you do to stop me?"

Song Xiaodong replied indifferently, "Feel free to try."

Qiao Longyang and Zhou Zhengfang were not skilled fighters themselves, but their hesitation was clear as they gestured; the martial artists they brought quickly surrounded them for protection. It was evident they harbored some apprehension toward Song Xiaodong.

"Do you really think a few of them can shield you? How naive." Song Xiaodong sneered and stepped forward.

Those martial artists brought by Qiao Longyang and Zhou Zhengfang immediately felt the tremendous pressure.

Their strength was not particularly formidable, and the genuinely elite fighters they had brought along were stationed in the backyard. To block Song Xiaodong with their current capabilities was an impossible task.

Zhou Zhengfang quickly pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and moments later, more than a dozen people rushed over at high speed. Following them were dozens of Su Family warriors who also stormed forward.

The dozen people from the Zhou and Qiao Families were able to suppress the dozens of Su Family warriors, showing just how strong they were.

Seeing these reinforcements, Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang both breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Zhengfang exclaimed, "Song Family Head, are you still planning to keep us here now?"

"Of course," Song Xiaodong stated flatly.

"With just the Su Family’s strength? I doubt that’s possible," Zhou Zhengfang sneered.

"Then what if we add the Sun Family to the mix?" A raspy yet powerful voice boomed from outside, and several figures rushed forward, joining forces with the Su Family guards to surround the people of Zhou and Qiao Families.

Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang’s expressions changed drastically. A single Su Family, combined with the enigmatic strength of Song Xiaodong, had already left them unsure of their chances. Now, with the Sun Family’s elite fighters joining in, their position was undeniably precarious.

"Do you still have any doubts about being detained?" Song Xiaodong asked mockingly, staring at Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang.

With a dark expression, Zhou Zhengfang growled, "Have you considered the consequences?"

Song Xiaodong sneered, "The ones who need to consider the consequences are you. Your Zhou and Qiao Families stirred up trouble in the Su Family. I have every right to demand an explanation from you. If you refuse to comply, you might as well stay here forever."

"And if we insist on leaving?" Qiao Longyang challenged, gnashing his teeth.

"Then go ahead and try. For the Su Family’s reputation, our warriors will stop at nothing to detain you. Su Family guards, do you have that resolve?" Song Xiaodong suddenly raised his voice like a thunderclap.

The Su Family warriors, already simmering with frustration, were invigorated by Song Xiaodong’s shout. They responded in unison, "Yes!"

Their combined roar was deafening, shaking the heavens and filling the air with a remarkable vigor.

Zhou Zhengfang and Qiao Longyang’s faces turned drastically pale. They exchanged troubled looks, and it was clear both had come to a conclusion. Zhou Zhengfang let out a cold snort and said, "What’s the point of detaining us? I don’t believe you, Song Xiaodong, have the guts to do anything to us."

In the end, they made the most prudent choice. If they resisted outright, they might inflict significant losses on the Su and Sun Families, but their own people would undoubtedly perish here.

The most critical factor was that they weren’t in the right. If this escalated, the larger impact would bring enormous trouble to their families. It was better to remain and let their families handle the situation.
