Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Song Yunuan Not Taking the Bait?

Chairman Wang straightforwardly told his son to stop making a fuss for now, it was better to keep things quiet. He needed to inform Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan of the decision regarding He Yunfei’s fate.

Whether dead or alive, it had to be out in the open, especially since even Shangguan Heng had backed down.

Wang Kai, however, said, "Daddy, Uncle Shangguan backing down is only because he’s being forced by the situation. He’s the kind of person who knows when to bend and when to stand tall. He must be seething with resentment, so he will surely make some sneaky moves behind the scenes."

Chairman Wang furrowed his brows, "Even so, we need to lay low for a while and let her get the hell out of here before we do anything else."

"If they find out He Yunfei is dead, will they spare me? No, Daddy, they are out for revenge now and they definitely won’t let me off. Instead of waiting to be doomed, why don’t we fight to the death and take care of Xia Xindong and that Song Yunuan once and for all!"

Chairman Wang’s heart wavered for a moment.

If that were the case, it would truly be a clean sweep.

But if Song Yunuan didn’t fall for it, he was at a loss.

He couldn’t just kidnap her and take her to the cruise ship.

Wang Kai said, "Just tell them that He Yunfei has been spotted in international waters."

Chairman Wang hesitated for a moment.

Wang Kai: "Daddy, to be honest, and since I’m abroad, there’s nothing they can do to me, we could say that it’s likely He Yunfei has been captured by pirates at sea, and though he’s still alive, it’s hard as reaching for the sky to rescue him. Depending on Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan’s intentions, if they want to save him, the Wang family has an unavoidable responsibility and will definitely join in. Song Yunuan has all that strange strength, doesn’t she? If she doesn’t go, we will still go on our own and let them wait for news.

Moreover, it’s better if she goes because Venom Fang’s men are all experts, they’ll most certainly deal with her. And if she doesn’t, we’ll pretend to go, and she won’t know about it, allowing us to buy some time. There are so many people who hate her; surely, even if we don’t want her life, there will be plenty of others who do. I don’t believe she can escape."

Wang Kai was talking away on the phone, having pondered over this for several days.

This matter had to be dealt with, and he certainly didn’t want to have to face Xia Xindong. He preferred Xia Xindong and Song Yunuan to vanish together.

Who would have thought that a salted fish could truly turn over?

Wang Kai said to Chairman Wang in annoyance, "This is the best plan, the best explanation."

Chairman Wang thought about it and felt it was a good idea, probably the best at the moment.

Concerning how to call Xia Xindong, Chairman Wang felt he needed to deliberate carefully.

When Song Yunuan and Gu Huai’an had finished dinner and returned home, they learned this news from the uncle.

Song Mingbo and Asheng just sat quietly on the side, obediently listening to the conversation.

Xia Xindong told Little Asheng, "Go and wash up first, I’ve already prepared the bath water for you."

In these past few days, Little Asheng had been staying with the uncle, and he was beloved by all; not only did Xia Bowen like him, wanting to hold him whenever he saw him, but Old Master Gu also enjoyed the chubby, always-happy-to-eat child.

Little Asheng, though curious, did not object; he obediently climbed down from his chair and went to the bathroom, his clothes in arm.

At this time, they were in Xia Xindong’s room.

Xia Xindong frowned, "Let’s not discuss the credibility of this news for now. Just going to international waters is different from being on land. It’s not a situation that can be resolved with brute strength alone. Little Nuan, I have other arrangements for this."

Song Yunuan didn’t insist on getting involved.

But she asked suspiciously, "What are your arrangements?"

"We have reached out to several forces; I will go to Huai’an later."

Gu Huai’an had protective forces.

Song Yunuan said, "Have him look into it quickly and make a swift decision. The Wang family is certainly up to no good, and I’m not going anyway. That will also be a good opportunity to see what the Wang family is really planning."

Xia Xindong did not oppose her, figuring that no matter whether it was true or false, any lead was worth pursuing.

But the premise was not to fall into a trap or be harmed, considering it wasn’t just about him.

Song Yunuan actually wasn’t optimistic. It was too coincidental; it couldn’t just be that they stumbled upon the news.

Yet with a glimmer of hope, one had to make the effort.

Song Yunuan felt the Wang family was despicable.

As expected, she didn’t take part.

Knowing that Song Yunuan hadn’t gone but only Xia Xindong did, Chairman Wang felt he had made a misstep again.

Wasn’t Song Yunuan always eager to join the fray?

Where there was excitement, why didn’t she follow this time?

Why create such a fuss if she doesn’t go?

But can they really speak plainly about it?

After all, he has always prided himself on being wise, and his actions have been steady, always thinking three steps ahead. Otherwise, in this chaotic Xiangjiang, the Wang family wouldn’t have a place to stand.

So why then?

Why does he seem to lose all his wits when it comes to Song Yunuan?

Chairman Wang decided to take a breather, to think things over and review the situation.

Could it be that he still doesn’t take Song Yunuan seriously enough?

Although Song Mingbo could see that his little uncle was in a bad mood, he still had something to say.

He had been holding back his words for a whole day and a night, and it would be too late if he didn’t speak now.

He ran to Xia Xindong’s room and even closed the door, swallowing nervously.

It’s strange—he feels a mix of respect and fear for this little uncle who hasn’t been back for very long.

He gets very nervous in his presence.

Xia Xindong looked at him, "Speak, what’s the matter?"

Asheng, swinging his legs while sitting on a chair, turned his head towards Xia Xindong and said, "Little uncle, no need to ask, my big brother must have calculated something again, but he’s afraid you won’t believe him and is hesitant to speak."

Song Mingbo glared at his younger brother.

Little brat, why do you talk so much? If you didn’t speak, we could have sold you as a mute, couldn’t we?

Song Mingbo: "Little uncle, can you trust me just once?"

Xia Xindong let out a silent sigh. These three nephews of his,

they really do make him both proud and worried.

"If what you say makes sense, I’ll trust you."

Song Mingbo: "I calculated a divination for your journey this time, and not only will it be fruitless, but there will also be losses. I also calculated for He Yunfei; he should be alive, as the divination shows his life force isn’t cut off, but it has nothing to do with this trip.

You won’t find him at sea this time. As for when you will find him, that I can’t determine. However, not only will this trip be in vain, but there will also be bloodshed. Although it won’t be fatal, there could be serious injuries. It’s simply not worth it, little uncle!"

Xia Xindong looked at Song Mingbo.

Song Mingbo blinked his eyes, looking at Xia Xindong with hope.

Xia Xindong was actually testing the Wang family as well.

He had made a call, and Chairman Wang said everything was arranged and they would set off the next morning.

But there has been no call until now.

Huai’an’s analysis was correct.

This was targeted at Little Nuan, so there was no news about He Yunfei at all.

But the ordeal that Chairman Wang described about He Yunfei was true.

Detestable Wang family!

Xia Xindong really nodded, "Okay, I believe you!"

Song Mingbo jumped up in surprise, dancing with joy, and even said, "The time isn’t right yet, but when it comes, little uncle, you should be able to see him. You two will still be in touch in the future."

Xia Xindong nodded noncommittally.

He first informed Gu Huai’an.

Gu Huai’an had to attend a banquet at the Xiangjiang government, so he couldn’t go, and he arranged for his protectors to go instead.

These people were all from the special forces.

They were skilled.

But if it really comes to the sea, they might be at a disadvantage.

After all, our maritime strength is not up to par as of now...
