"Is it that supervisor of yours causing trouble again?" Ye Xiao spoke with an angry expression on his face.

"No, well, actually, I just don't want to work there anymore." Zheng Lingshan said, "Besides, my dad is sick again, and I have to take care of him, so I can't work right now."

"Huh?" Ye Xiao immediately asked upon hearing Zheng Lingshan's words, "What's going on? Do you want me to help find a better doctor for your dad?"

"No need!" Zheng Lingshan replied, "Um, right now, we're focusing on rest; we'll talk about it later. Uh, I'm going to stop talking now."

Before Ye Xiao could react, the call had already been hung up. Ye Xiao felt a bit strange. What exactly happened? How did Zheng Senlin get sick? If Ye Xiao guessed correctly, Zheng Senlin should be a Martial Artist, right? Although his strength is not amazing, it's quite rare for a Martial Artist to fall ill.

However, Zheng Lingshan probably wouldn't lie to him.

Could it be that Zheng Lingshan quit her job because Zheng Senlin got sick?

Zheng Lingshan seems unwilling to reveal everything about her situation.

Ye Xiao is someone with an intense curiosity; the less people say, the more he wants to find out. So, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to call Feng Jiao.

Feng Jiao and Zheng Lingshan are cousins, so if Zheng Lingshan is dealing with something, she would likely tell Feng Jiao.

Feng Jiao's phone picked up rather quickly.

"Ye Xiao?"

"It's me!" Ye Xiao said.

Feng Jiao said, "Why did you suddenly call me, is there something going on?"

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Can't I call you for no reason? I just woke up and had a beautiful dream."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Feng Jiao was puzzled, wondering why Ye Xiao would call and talk about nonsensical things.

Ye Xiao continued, "The problem is, in my dream, there was the beautiful Officer Feng. Isn't that a magical thing?"

"What's so magical about it? It's just a dream!" Feng Jiao pretended to be calm, deliberately speaking in a flat tone.

"Wrong. Dreams come from the heart; only things you often think about appear in dreams. For example, like the president of the Northern Federation, never once has he appeared in my dreams, because I've never thought about him," Ye Xiao said with a grin. "So, when I woke up, the first thing I did was call you."

Listening to Ye Xiao, Feng Jiao smirked inwardly, pondering what nonsense this guy was spouting.

"What exactly do you want? Just be straightforward," Feng Jiao said. "Stop beating around the bush."

"See, Officer Feng is smart." Ye Xiao said, "Haha, actually, it's not nothing; it's sort of about Shanshan."

"Something happened with Shanshan again?" Feng Jiao asked, her voice getting tense despite maintaining calm until now.

Shocked, Ye Xiao asked, "Officer Feng, why did you say 'again'?"

"Uh..." Feng Jiao froze for a moment, then said, "It's... it's nothing!"

Ye Xiao put aside his casual tone and spoke seriously, "Did something happen to Shanshan recently?"

"Her dad is hospitalized; it's liver cancer!" Feng Jiao said.

"Oh?" Ye Xiao was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected that when Zheng Lingshan said her dad was sick, it would be something as serious as liver cancer.

This is a very severe illness, or better put, it's a terminal disease.

Even though medical technology is advanced now, the chances of curing liver cancer are still slim. Knowing Zheng Senlin's love for alcohol, how he practically lived like he was soaked in a wine barrel, it's not surprising he'd get liver cancer. But wasn't Zheng Senlin a Martial Artist? How could he have liver cancer?

Martial Artists typically don't get sick because their Inner Power True Qi always protects their bodies. Viruses generally can't harm the internal organs. Even when drunk, one can expel the intoxication by using Inner Power True Qi.

But Zheng Senlin having liver cancer is undeniably a very unbelievable thing.

"Is that all?" Ye Xiao asked.

Ye Xiao asked this because he sensed that when Feng Jiao spoke earlier, she used the word 'again.' Ye Xiao felt like things might not be as simple as they seemed, that there could be something more.

Feng Jiao hesitated for a bit and finally said, "She seemed to have been bullied at the sales office, but by the time the police arrived, those people had already left."

"Can you tell me what you mean by bullied?" Ye Xiao asked with sudden seriousness.

Feng Jiao heard Ye Xiao's words and immediately knew he'd misunderstood, quickly saying, "It's not what you think."

Ye Xiao said, "Which hospital is Zheng Senlin at now? To my knowledge, Zheng Lingshan's family isn't very wealthy, and treating liver cancer requires a lot of money."

"That's right!" Feng Jiao said, "My uncle's family really doesn't have much money, and our family doesn't either. So, he's currently undergoing simple rehabilitation at Jinling District's Jinyan Hospital, room 406."

"I'll visit when I have time!" Ye Xiao said.

Feng Jiao said, "By the way, Yan Luo and Wu Shengchang are your friends, right?"

Ye Xiao said, "What's up?"

"They've been making big moves recently, and Chen Haiqing is getting more and more upset. Seems like he's planning to punish them a bit." Feng Jiao said.

Ye Xiao heard this, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "If he wants to punish them, let him do as he pleases. I'm not in charge of that area anymore."

After hearing Ye Xiao's words, since Ye Xiao said so, Feng Jiao naturally wouldn't want to meddle any further either.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao touched his nose, thinking to himself that he might still need to trouble Han Ruoxi about this later. Then, Ye Xiao also thought about the matter that Feng Jiao just mentioned.

Zheng Lingshan was bullied?

Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, to the point that even he couldn't control it.

However, there were still matters to attend to at the moment, so he might have to wait until this is all over to address it.

The Jetta was speeding down the road.

Black Mood!

This was definitely an elite bar, not because it's an upscale and grand place, but because it's a spot where ordinary people would shy away from. At some point, Black Mood Bar had become a place where no idlers are allowed to enter.

When Ye Xiao arrived, Jiang Miaoke's Porsche was already there.

At this moment, there happened to be an empty parking space, and Ye Xiao immediately parked the Jetta there.

But just then, there was a loud bang, and Ye Xiao felt a bump on the rear of his car. Instinctively, he looked through the rear-view mirror and saw an Audi Q7 that had just hit the rear of his Jetta.

Ye Xiao hadn't even gotten out of the car when three people from the Audi Q7 got out. They first inspected their car's front, then each of them displayed a furious expression.

"Damn it, what the hell are you doing?" At this moment, the burly man who had just been driving kicked the rear of Ye Xiao's Jetta while cursing.

Ye Xiao turned off the Jetta, got out of the car, and didn't immediately pay attention to the man who was shouting, instead, he looked directly at his own car's rear and muttered to himself, "This seems like a rear-end collision, should count as one."

Of course, these people could hear Ye Xiao's words, and naturally, they became even angrier.

"Kid, what are you saying?" The man who had just been shouting grabbed Ye Xiao's trench coat on his shoulder and said, "Who the hell let you park here? Didn't you see me driving over just now?"

When Ye Xiao had just turned into this parking space, indeed it had been quite aggressive, almost like charging straight in rapidly.

Ye Xiao looked up at the man who was yelling at him. This guy was at least ten centimeters taller than Ye Xiao, so to see his face, Ye Xiao really did have to look up.

"You hit my car," Ye Xiao reminded him.

Seeing that Ye Xiao had no intention of begging for mercy, the man became even more displeased, immediately pointing at the Black Mood sign and saying, "This is Black Mood's designated parking space, can't you see that? Do you know how much my brand new Q7 cost? It's not something your broken Jetta can compare to."

Ye Xiao glanced over; indeed, it was a brand-new Audi Q7, but so what if it was new?

Ye Xiao still said, "You rear-ended me, so what happens to your car isn't my concern. Now, you should be the one fixing my car."

The man at this moment figured there must be something wrong with his ears, otherwise, how could he be hearing such nonsense from the person in front of him!

As a normal person, crashing into a high-end car, the first reaction would naturally be one of fear, but the man saw that this young guy in front of him wasn't scared at all and was still talking about the rear-end collision.

"Kid, is something wrong with your head?" At this time, another person, who had originally been with the owner of the Audi Q7, also stepped forward, glaring at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, with his delicate foreign trade look and a not particularly strong build, standing with these people, appeared even more slender.

Ye Xiao looked at the three of them and then said, "Isn't this Black Mood's designated parking space?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the man who had been holding Ye Xiao's trench coat said, "Looks like you finally realized."

Ye Xiao looked at him and said, "Let go of my clothes. This is a society ruled by law."

"Ha ha, this guy's actually talking to me about the law, huh, alright, then I'll teach you about the law." The man did release Ye Xiao's clothes and said, "According to any law, you have to fix my car, or else you'll end up in a very miserable state."

Ye Xiao looked once more at the point where the two cars were in contact; it was clearly a rear-end collision.

So, Ye Xiao looked seriously at the man and said, "You should call the police!"
