Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Treating Him As a Brother

Xu Yao was in strong agreement with him, "You’re right. They just want to keep us guessing their intentions, to catch us off guard.

"Anyway, we continue to issue the reward notice; most of the underworld is helping us search. As long as they show up with Xiaocong, someone will spot them.

"Unless they never let Xiaocong show his face, never making any demands on us."

Rong Shaoze’s brows furrowed slightly.

"That’s exactly what I’m worried about... We have no idea who they are, nor do we understand their thinking. I’m afraid, their sole purpose is to use Xiaocong to strike at me..."

Xu Yao understood immediately what he meant.

"That won’t happen," he asserted solidly.

"To put it unpleasantly, if their goal was to kill Xiaocong to get revenge on you, they would find a way to present you with Xiaocong’s corpse... Otherwise, it would not serve their purpose of revenge.

Now that Xiaocong has been missing for five days and we can’t find him anywhere, it eliminates the possibility that they want to kill him. After all, if they were to act on it, they wouldn’t delay for long; it only puts them at greater risk.

Rong Shaoze, believe me, Xiaocong will be fine as long as their demand isn’t satisfied."

Finding his analysis very logical, Rong Shaoze was persuaded.

The missing person was Xiaocong, and even if Rong Shaoze could try to stay calm, he couldn’t remain entirely rational.

Xu Yao was an outsider, naturally thinking more thoroughly than him.

Tao Hua suddenly stood up, sneering, "Although I can’t help much, coming up with some freakish poison to deal with them is no problem. I’ll go back now and ponder which kind of poison can make one beg for life yet be unable to beg for death."

Xu Yao’s eyebrows raised slightly, and a small smile appeared, "The poison you prepared for us to deal with the Mafia last time was pretty twisted."

"No, that wasn’t twisted at all. That was poison for humans. What I’m going to prepare now is poison for beasts," Tao Hua said with an evil grin, a chilly glint flashing in his eyes.

Rong Shaoze knew he truly cared for Xiaocong.

Xu Yao genuinely cared for Xiaocong, too.

They treated him like a brother, which was why they were so concerned about his son.

"I appreciate your kindness," Rong Shaoze said with a smile. "When there’s a chance in the future, I will surely repay you."

Tao Hua snorted and gave a faint smile, "No need for thanks between us. Isn’t it a bit too formal? Your son is as much ours, and of course, we worry about him."

Xu Yao curled his lips in a slight smile, saying nothing.

But Tao Hua’s words reflected his own thoughts.

Feeling touched, Rong Shaoze thought himself fortunate to have them as brothers.

After being confined in a dark, cramped room for several days, Xiaocong finally saw someone come to open the door.

He shielded his eyes from the light outside and squinted through the gaps in his fingers to see a tall man stepping in.

"Get up!" the man bellowed at him, his voice harsh and his presence menacing.

Xiaocong quickly stood, his slight frame minuscule in comparison to the man’s, like the difference between a cow and a little white rabbit.

No doubt, if the man exerted force, he could easily crush him with a single stomp.

"Hurry up and come out, follow me!" the man roared coarsely, looking down on him from his height, his eyes devoid of any pity.

"Where are you taking me?" Xiaocong lowered his hands and asked with confusion.
