The docks on the outskirts of Yangcheng were growing dim.
"Cough, cough..."
Tao Fan lay on the ground, clutching his chest, which was already stained with a large patch of blood.
With his coughs, he spat out a mouthful of blood that stung the eyes.
"Cough, cough, everyone says Sheng Xiong is decisive and ruthless. Today I've seen it."
"Even the people under him are so unforgiving."
Tao Fan struggled to breathe, his gaze fixed on the tall, black-clothed middle-aged man, Hei Hao, who was blowing on his gun.
"Is this your last will and testament?"
Hei Hao put away his gun and glanced at him, uttering a light sentence.
"Hahaha... cough, cough, Hei Hao, don't rush. I've studied Song Qiao. You'll die by his hand sooner or later."
Tao Fan tried to force a laugh, but only coughed up more blood.
"Hmph, not everyone is as useless as you."
Hei Hao said coldly, looking at Tao Fan on the ground again, only to find the man had fallen silent.
Meanwhile, Song Qiao parked his car in front of his villa. As he got out, Xia Xueqing was already waiting at the door.
"Stay with me tonight. Returning to the Deng family now might not guarantee your safety."
In front of the car door, Deng Yihan's face was still pale.
"Don't worry, you'll be absolutely safe here."
Song Qiao had originally intended to send her back to the Deng family, but now that even a master like Tao Fan had made a move, could the Deng family truly protect Deng Yihan?
He had to admit, he had a good impression of this woman.
"Who is she?"
At the villa entrance, Xia Xueqing stared for a while before she couldn't help but ask, her eyes scanning Deng Yihan repeatedly.
The beautiful woman in front of her, with her high nose bridge and delicate features, made her feel a pang of jealousy.
Especially since the two of them were standing so close...
"Hey, hey, hey, you two are too close."
Xia Xueqing couldn't help but rush forward and pull Song Qiao, as if declaring her ownership.
"What's going on? Why did you bring a woman back..."
Mid-sentence, illuminated by the lights in the living room, Xia Xueqing finally saw Song Qiao's disheveled state.
The mud stains on his trousers aside, his neat black suit was torn in several places.
The continuous fighting and car crash had inevitably left Song Qiao in a complete mess.
This truly startled Xia Xueqing.
"What, what, what's going on?"
Deng Yihan on the side felt somewhat awkward.
She hadn't realized Song Qiao already had such a beautiful woman around. She should have gone back to the Deng family directly to avoid any misunderstandings.
Seeing Xia Xueqing's anxious and jealous expression, fearing that she might cause some misunderstanding, she quickly explained.
"Actually, today, I am a representative sent by the Deng family. I was originally going to talk about cooperation with Mr. Song, but he was attacked on the way back. Mr. Song was protecting me, which is why he is so disheveled."
As she spoke, she carefully bowed to Xia Xueqing.
"I'm truly sorry for implicating Mr. Song because of me. I will definitely have the Deng family investigate this matter quickly."
The woman's attitude surprised Xia Xueqing. She looked her up and down carefully, then smiled kindly.
"It's okay, Song Qiao would definitely not stand by and do nothing."
After speaking, she pulled Song Qiao over and turned, her smile replaced by tension.
"Brother-in-law, you're too reckless. You don't need to take such risks in the future. If something were to happen..."
She lowered her voice, about to lecture Song Qiao properly, but at that moment, an unexpected event occurred!
"Not good!"
Song Qiao's smile vanished instantly. He suddenly roared, and without time to say more, he spread his arms, grabbed the two women, and retreated seven or eight meters!
Everything happened in a flash. The next moment, just as they retreated, a deafening roar exploded!
BOOM!
The car that had brought them back instantly exploded, turning into a pillar of fire reaching the sky!
Thick smoke and scorching heat waves spread out, and the powerful air current whipped their clothes!
Everything happened right before Song Qiao's eyes, leaving him shocked and furious!
"This, how could this happen!"
Xia Xueqing looked over and was stunned. Deng Yihan was even more terrified.
She had been standing beside them just moments ago. If Song Qiao hadn't pulled her away in time, she would likely be dead by now.
"The car... how could it explode?"
She murmured, then quickly turned to look at Song Qiao.
"This, is this still the work of those people chasing me?"
Deng Yihan was extremely frightened. The thought of brushing shoulders with death made her palms sweat, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
"It should be. These people probably have more than one plan."
Song Qiao's eyes reflected the flames, and he clenched his fists.
No matter who it was, daring to harm him like this, and even almost killing Xia Xueqing, they would pay the price!
A moment later, at the docks on the outskirts of Yangcheng.
"What? He's not dead?"
"Hmph, Song Qiao's luck is quite good."
The black-clothed middle-aged man, Hei Hao, snorted coldly. Upon learning from the phone that Deng Yihan and Song Qiao were not dead, his face instantly turned grim.
"Alright, you continue to arrange the next step. I believe she won't be so lucky next time."
He said lightly, hung up the phone, and looked at the body of Tao Fan being dragged away, frowning slightly.
This time, things didn't seem to go as smoothly as before. Could this Song Qiao really be that extraordinary?
Meanwhile, Song Qiao and the others, having narrowly escaped the car explosion, retreated into the villa.
"Have some tea first."
Xia Xueqing, acting as the hostess, poured three cups of hot tea, her heart still unsettled.
"Song Qiao, what on earth is going on?"
"Even if those people have some business conflicts with the Deng family, they wouldn't go this far, would they?"
She still hadn't recovered and looked at Song Qiao sitting on the sofa with lingering fear.
"If we had retreated a bit slower just now, we would definitely..."
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Song Qiao comforted her.
"Xueqing, please sit down. And Miss Deng, you don't need to stand there. Sit down and rest for a while."
"I estimate your family will arrive soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of car brakes screeching was heard outside. Looking through the window, many police cars were entering the villa area.
The Security Bureau had arrived.
