Chapter 1251: Chapter 1252: Homecoming (Two Chapters Combined)

Compared to Qingluan’s hardships in the jungle, Song Xiaodong, apart from initially wanting to escape a bit further which made him seem a bit disheveled, was quite relaxed. By the second day, he had already bypassed the jungle.

The phone had been damaged after being soaked in water. Song Xiaodong found a small town, casually bought a phone, inserted the original SIM card, and first dialed Su Yuya.

“Family Head!” Su Yuya instantly exclaimed in delight.

“Mm, it’s me. I’m fine, no need to worry. You should quickly pack up and return to the country now.”

“What about you, Family Head?” Su Yuya asked urgently.

Song Xiaodong said, “I’ll find a way to return. If I leave with you now, I fear it’ll attract their pursuit, as their target is me. If they don’t see me leaving, they won’t make a move against you.”

“Then…” Su Yuya hesitated for a moment and quickly weighed the pros and cons, saying, “Family Head, we’ll leave right away. You must be careful.”

“Don’t worry, that little girl can’t kill me. You can go, I have many ways to get back. Tell everyone at home not to worry, I’ll return within three days at the latest.”

With Su Yuya handling things, Song Xiaodong was always reassured. When she took action, she had a broad perspective and wasn’t easily swayed by emotions, so at this time, she quickly judged that their departure was the most favorable strategy for Song Xiaodong.

If Dragon Nine or Miao Qingyuan were making decisions, they’d likely be too concerned about Song Xiaodong’s safety to make such a swift decision.

After arranging things, Song Xiaodong immediately left the small town and headed towards the city.

Based on Qingluan’s attack and Song Xiaodong’s understanding of the Dark Night Sect’s actions, he speculated that even if their power was strong, they couldn’t act recklessly. Nowadays, regardless of the organization, they must comply with the laws of each country; no one can operate outside the law.

If they indeed operated outside the law, then the organization would be labeled a terrorist group and face crackdowns from nations.

Even if the Dark Night Sect were as wealthy as a nation and had many talents, they still couldn’t contend with the state apparatus.

Though Senaga is a small country, if they were to do anything excessive here, even if it didn’t involve the interests of major countries, once labeled as a terrorist group, they’d face significant challenges in the future.

In remote areas like jungles and small towns, the Dark Night Sect could easily act, but in the city, even Qingluan wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

However, Song Xiaodong was indeed overthinking.

The Dark Night Sect sent only Qingluan to kill him. With Qingluan’s skills, killing Song Xiaodong shouldn’t have any deviation.

Moreover, Song Xiaodong somewhat overestimated Qingluan’s ability; Qingluan wasn’t as capable of effortlessly exiting the jungle. She’s still wandering within it.

Thus, Song Xiaodong waited for a day without incident. His preparations ended up being unnecessary. On the second day, he confidently and smoothly boarded a return flight.

At the Ningjian Airport, there was a large crowd waiting at the exit.

This group comprised over twenty people, including a dozen or so beauties, each in their twenties, all stunningly beautiful.

With such beauties, even one standing there would attract attention. With a dozen standing together, it made people wonder if an entertainment company was filming there.

Around these beauties were assertive-looking men, clearly not to be messed with.

Ordinary people might not know who they were, but those with enough status in Ningjian could recognize them as members of the Su Family, particularly the hotly discussed Patriarch’s Wife Group.

Every major family in Ningjian Province held information on Mrs. Song Xiaodong, as some families had wastrel sons who liked to chase women. Causing trouble with other women might be manageable, but provoking Mrs. Song Xiaodong was a serious matter. Thus, everyone closely monitored Mrs. Song Xiaodong.

As they waited there, others dared not approach. Even those bold enough to try edging closer were swiftly ushered away by the surrounding bodyguards, whose attitudes, while not aggressive, were firm.

“Who are these people waiting for?”

“Yeah, they’re definitely waiting for some prominent figure; otherwise, why so many beauties?”

“I bet it’s some big celebrity or Great Director.”

“Doesn’t seem like it; those women don’t look like actresses. Each carries a certain aura, their statuses aren’t low. I think it might be some high-ranking leader.”

“You’re talking nonsense! Leaders don’t get greeted by beauties. It’s too ostentatious, someone would investigate immediately, who’d dare do that? Plus, if it were a leader, it’d be police here, not bodyguards.”

“Makes sense. With this many bodyguards, it should be a big boss. Wow, so many beauties; do you think it’s the nation’s heartthrob arriving?”
