Chapter 789 Putting the Brothers at Ease

"The boss is too lenient with him. He laid a hand on the boss, and all he got was to lock him up. If you ask me, he should just be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"

Outside the room, the guards could be heard venting their frustrations.

"Keep your voice down! You really don't understand the boss. If the boss wanted to kill him, he would have done it already. He's the boss's brother, and the boss's feelings for him are not as simple as you think!"

Xiao Yunfeng overheard their conversation, and he had already confirmed this long ago.

If Lei Xiao really wanted him dead, there would be no way he would go to such lengths to have someone bring him to the island.

However, he couldn't figure out what Lei Xiao's intentions were towards him.

All he has to do now is patiently wait for the right opportunity.

...

“Boss Lei, it’s not that we don’t trust you, it’s that we don’t trust Xiao Yunfeng. His identity is so sensitive, he shouldn’t have been brought to the island at all.”

In the hall, Xu Long sat lazily in the seat of honor, listening to the righteous indignation of the crowd.

Everyone except him was pointing the finger at Lei Xiao, who was sitting to his right.

On this island, besides Xu Long and Lei Xiao, there are more than a dozen leaders of varying ranks. They have gathered here today to discuss Xiao Yunfeng's future.

Lei Xiao remained unfazed by the crowd's doubts, "You don't trust me?"

A single, casual remark silenced most people.

As the second-in-command on the island, on par with Xu Long, few dared to truly challenge him.

"Of course we trust Boss Lei, but we're worried that he might also be deceived by that Xiao Yunfeng."

Lei Xiao snorted coldly, "I arranged for him to kill his own girlfriend, and she was even a member of the military. Do you really think someone like that could be an undercover agent?"

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. If they didn't do this, how could they gain Boss Lei's trust?"

The person who refuted him was Shi Kun, one of Xu Long's confidants.

“Boss Lei, we know about his relationship with you, but you can’t harm everyone for your own selfish reasons.”

Lei Xiao's gloomy gaze fell on him, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

"My affairs are none of your business!"

Shi Kun directly challenged back, "It concerns the safety of the island. Boss Lei won't allow me to have a say, but I have to speak up."

Standing behind Lei Xiao, Wang Li's face was contorted with rage. "Shi Kun, who do you think you are! The boss said it's alright, so it's alright!"

Shi Kun cursed sarcastically, "Wang Li, you really are a good dog!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and the people on both sides drew their guns almost simultaneously.

Lei Xiao did not stop Wang Li from taking action. Instead, Xu Long, who had been watching the show, suddenly sat up straight and spoke expressionlessly.

Are you trying to rebel?

The tense standoff instantly subsided.

On this island, Xu Long is the god.

He first scolded Shi Kun, "I've been too lenient with you guys lately. You even dare to doubt Lei Xiao. Apologize now!"

Shi Kun didn't dare to question a single word and immediately said to Lei Xiao, "Boss Lei, I was wrong just now."

Although he said that, his defiant expression didn't diminish at all.

Xu Long then looked at Lei Xiao and said, seemingly neutrally, "Brother Lei, they are being immature, but they are doing it for the safety of the island. Even if you have confirmed Xiao Yunfeng's situation, you should still put the brothers at ease."

Lei Xiao sneered inwardly. Without his authorization, who would dare to question him!

"Boss Xu, why don't you just tell us frankly? How can we put the brothers at ease?"
