Return to the City: Chapter 988: 989: It's Him

Chapter 988: Chapter 989: It’s Him

Song Xiaodong took Wu Xiaoya directly to a five-star hotel and moved in grandiosely. He wasn’t afraid of Li Fangding causing him trouble. If Li Fangding didn’t seize this opportunity, Song Xiaodong was sure to make him die a painful death.

If it weren’t for seeking justice for those wrongfully dead, Song Xiaodong would have simply killed or maid him. That would have been more convenient.

Without Li Fangding’s confession, the truth of the matter could not be revealed to the public, and the families of those wrongfully dead would not receive fair treatnt. That’s why Song Xiaodong hadn’t yet done anything to Li Fangding.

After placing Wu Xiaoya on the bed, Song Xiaodong went to the living room to call Miao Qingqing, briefly explaining the situation. Miao Qingqing listened and was infuriated.

Forcing a perfectly sane person into a ntal hospital is sothing no one can tolerate. Put yourself in that position—being treated as a psychiatric patient day in and day out, unable to explain or escape—anyone would go insane.

Sound ca from the bedroom, and Song Xiaodong hung up the call and walked into the bedroom.

“Where…where is this?” Wu Xiaoya’s eyes were sowhat unfocused, and her expression was rather withered.

“This is a hotel.” Song Xiaodong ca over and sat by the bed.

“Not the ntal hospital anymore?” Wu Xiaoya’s eyes suddenly lit up, her voice raised significantly, and she seed quite excited.

Song Xiaodong softly said, “Not anymore, don’t worry, you’ll never have to go to a place like that again.”

“Not the ntal hospital…not the ntal hospital.” Wu Xiaoya murmured twice, suddenly hugged Song Xiaodong’s waist, laid her head on Song Xiaodong’s leg, and started to sob.

Even though it was just one day, the experience in the ntal hospital already pushed Wu Xiaoya to a ntal breakdown, especially those high doses of psychiatric drugs that further damaged her nerves.

Song Xiaodong gently stroked her hair, softly saying, “Xiaoya, don’t be afraid. No one will bully you anymore.”

“Boohoo…” Wu Xiaoya just cried, crying her heart out.

Song Xiaodong didn’t say anything more. Wu Xiaoya needed to vent at this mont, so he just gently stroked her hair and gently patted her back, offering comfort.

It took a full twenty minutes for Wu Xiaoya to stop crying.

She then let go of Song Xiaodong, sat up with his support.

“Thank you!” Wu Xiaoya wiped her tears.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, “Why are you being formal with ? We have a profound revolutionary friendship. Are you hungry? I’ll have the hotel send so food over.”

At Song Xiaodong’s ntion, Wu Xiaoya did feel hungry, and she said a bit sheepishly, “A little hungry.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Then you rest for a while, I’ll go order the food.”

Wu Xiaoya nodded, softly saying, “I’ll go to the bathroom.”

“Go ahead.”

Half an hour later, the food was delivered, and Wu Xiaoya freshened up a bit, looking much more spirited.

After the two had so food, Wu Xiaoya’s mood improved, and she said, “Mr. Song…”

Song Xiaodong said, “Call

Dongzi. Xuanxuan and the others all call

that.”

“Then I’ll… call you Big Brother Song.” Wu Xiaoya said.

“That works too.”

“Big Brother Song… how did we get back just now? Those police?”

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, “The SWAT team captain is soone I once trained. He wouldn’t dare not listen to , so they wouldn’t dare do anything to .”

Wu Xiaoya blinked and said, “Big Brother Song, who… exactly are you?”

“How should I say this? Let

put it this way: a Deputy Mayor doesn’t concern

at all, so you don’t need to worry. I will definitely deal with Li Fangding to get you revenge and give justice to those wrongfully dead.”

“Then I’m relieved. I was worried you couldn’t handle Deputy Mayor Li.”

“Trust , you won’t regret it. Oh, Xuanxuan called, have a chat with her.”

Song Xiaodong handed the phone to Wu Xiaoya.

Wu Xiaoya took the phone and, after picking it up, started chatting with Miao Xuanxuan. Song Xiaodong went to the window, lit a cigarette, and looked outside, his eyes filled with a cold gleam.

……

Li Fangding was already at a private dining restaurant with another man in his forties.

This man was nad Gu Xunchao, from the Gu Family in Beijing. Like the Qiao Family and the Zhou Family, the Gu Family also wanted to expand to the local area, and they took a liking to Jinhua, so they got in touch with Li Fangding.

After taking a sip of tea, Gu Xunchao said, “Deputy Mayor Li, you don’t seem very spirited. Have you encountered any difficult matters?”

Li Fangding smiled wryly and said, “I’ve encountered a big trouble.”

Gu Xunchao frowned and said, “How co? Deputy Mayor Li, you’re in your pri right now. With our Gu Family’s support and further maneuvers, your promotion is a sure thing.”

Li Fangding sighed and said, “But if this matter isn’t resolved, not to ntion a promotion, I might face big trouble myself.”

“What’s the matter? Let

hear it.” Gu Xunchao asked with a frown.

Li Fangding hesitated for a mont and said, “Actually, I didn’t handle the plane crash very well. To save my life at the ti, I did so extre things. I’ve managed to settle other people, but now there’s soone who won’t let go and has quite an impressive background.”

Hearing this, Gu Xunchao imdiately said, “Who won’t let go? Tell , our Gu Family will help you solve it.”

Li Fangding was a key focus for cultivation by the Gu Family, so Gu Xunchao wasn’t concerned about the extre things Li Fangding ntioned, but rather who was causing the trouble.

Li Fangding said, “His na is Song Xiaodong, our city’s SWAT team leader. They call him instructor!”

“Song Xiaodong? Are you sure his na is Song Xiaodong?” Gu Xunchao exclaid in surprise.

“What? Do you know him?” Li Fangding was startled. Seeing Gu Xunchao’s expression, it seed this Song Xiaodong was not soone to be ssed with, and his heart skipped a beat.

“Is he from Minghe?”

“No, I checked his identity information. He’s from Tiannan.” Li Fangding breathed a sigh of relief, as the information didn’t match. It wasn’t the person Gu Xunchao was worried about.

“Oh my! Then it’s even more certain. He was originally from Tiannan, only moved to Minghe in the last few months. You’ve really picked a fight with him, this is troubling indeed.” Gu Xunchao’s brow furrowed deeply.

Li Fangding’s newly settled heart suddenly leaped into his throat, and he stamred, “Mr. Gu, surely… even your Gu Family can’t… ss with him?”
