Ye Xiao suddenly moved closer to Song Jiamin and then quickly said, "You know? Shouting like that in the middle of the street, although you're pretty, people will think you're... hehe, a shrew!"

After saying that, Ye Xiao headed straight toward the entrance of Minghai Academy!

Song Jiamin, still processing Ye Xiao's words, took a moment to react. When she did, she was so angry she nearly passed out—this guy actually called her a shrew: this jerk, this bastard!

Song Jiamin wanted to hurl back what she was thinking verbatim, but then she thought if she actually did, she would be falling right into Ye Xiao's trap, making others indeed see her as a shrew. Realizing this, Song Jiamin felt even more that Ye Xiao was immensely spiteful!

To prove that she wasn't selfish, Song Jiamin had no choice but to follow Ye Xiao toward the entrance of Minghai Academy.

Just as Ye Xiao was about to arrive at the entrance of Minghai Academy, he suddenly saw two people walking out of the campus, chatting and laughing, but their faces changed instantly when they saw Ye Xiao!

Seeing the two, Ye Xiao was somewhat puzzled. It was Saturday, what were they doing here? Could it be some matter?

Chen Ming and Zhang Liang had been walking out of the school, chatting and laughing; however, upon seeing Ye Xiao near the school gate, they froze and then quickly lowered their heads and hurried off!

Since the last time Chen Ming saw Ye Xiao go on a killing spree in the abandoned building and nearly wiped out all ten of his top gang enforcer recruits, that incident seriously shook Chen Ming. He dared not provoke Ye Xiao anymore. When Chen Ming told his old man about it, his dad only instructed him never to provoke Ye Xiao again!

It was clear from his father's face that even his dad felt powerless regarding Chen Ming—an outcome Chen Ming hadn't expected!

Now that Ye Xiao had firmly established himself at Minghai Academy, Chen Ming, still unchallenged at the academy like before, knew his influence was no longer what it used to be. If it wasn't for Zhang Liang getting him something intriguing, he wouldn't have come to the school at all today!

"Stop!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, looking at Chen Ming and Zhang Liang who were trying to escape.

Zhang Liang was clearly more tactful than Chen Ming; hearing Ye Xiao's shout, he hurriedly smiled at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, what a coincidence to see you here!"

Ye Xiao replied, "Yeah, quite a coincidence. Today is Saturday, right? What are you doing at school?"

Zhang Liang dared not tell the truth and immediately said with a smile, "Nothing much, Brother Chen forgot something at school yesterday, so we came today to get it. Brother Xiao, we'll be going if there's nothing else!"

Picking something up?

Though Zhang Liang was good at lying, no matter how skillful a liar someone might be, their eyes never lie. As Zhang Liang spoke, he could not look Ye Xiao in the eyes!

Ye Xiao knew Zhang Liang wasn't telling the truth, and since Song Jiaqian hadn't arrived yet and he had nothing else to do, Ye Xiao intentionally sneered and said, "Is that so? I think there might be more to it. You know? This person next to me is a police officer. If you two did something bad, she could arrest you right now!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, both Chen Ming and Zhang Liang were startled, glancing at Song Jiamin with a slight change of expression, seemingly asking each other's opinions.

If they had continued to act as if nothing was amiss, Ye Xiao might have let them go, but their eerie behavior was noted by Ye Xiao, who immediately determined they must have been up to no good, possibly even something illegal.

Ye Xiao took a step forward and confronted Chen Ming directly; from the look in Chen Ming's eyes, it was clear he was extremely afraid of him!

"Ye Xiao, stop bullying these students!" Song Jiamin thought Ye Xiao was just picking a fight and immediately spoke up.

However, Ye Xiao ignored her; for some reason, he suddenly really wanted to find out what underhanded thing Chen Ming had done.

"Chen Ming, step aside for a chat!" Ye Xiao said this and pulled Chen Ming aside.

Though Chen Ming was reluctant to follow Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao's strength was simply too great for him to resist.

"Last time I said I was going to kill you!" The first thing Chen Ming heard upon being pulled aside was this statement.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Chen Ming staggered back, nearly collapsing in fear and then looking at Ye Xiao with a face of terror.

Indeed, last time Ye Xiao had intended to kill him. If Hong Shaofeng hadn't appeared then, he might have been long gone from this world. Since then, Chen Ming always deliberately avoided Ye Xiao's gaze, hoping Ye Xiao would forget about him and thus spare him.

"Brother Xiao, please...don't kill me, I don't want to die!" Chen Ming stepped back half a step and almost fell to the ground!

Ye Xiao, quick and alert, steadied Chen Ming. He smiled slightly and said to Chen Ming, "I never seriously hurt my friends, it all depends on whether you want to be my friend!"

Hearing this, Chen Ming, desperate to survive, immediately replied without thinking, "I'm willing, of course I'm willing. I'd dream of being friends with Brother Xiao!"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Then you'll need to show some sincerity if you want to be my friend!"

Chen Ming looked at Ye Xiao. He knew what Ye Xiao wanted to know, but hesitated because Ye Xiao had just mentioned that Song Jiamin was a police officer!

"Brother Xiao, is she really a police officer?" Chen Ming glanced at Song Jiamin and asked.

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Ye Xiao was even more certain that Chen Ming had committed illegal acts. However, he didn't care about whether Chen Ming had broken the law, but rather, what he had done!

Although Ye Xiao's intuition wasn't always accurate, right now he inexplicably wanted to know, he wanted to know without reason!

"Don't worry, I wouldn't betray my friends," Ye Xiao reassured Chen Ming with a smile.

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally, in order to become Ye Xiao's friend and thus escape lethal danger, he whispered to Ye Xiao, "Here's the thing, I've been quite irritable these days, so Zhang Liang found me a girl. She's quite attractive, then I took care of her at the school. Brother Xiao, we are men, you know how hard it is to hold back!"

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Ye Xiao was taken aback for a second, then looked at Chen Ming with a sudden surge of disgust. He couldn't believe that to satisfy his lust, Chen Ming would coerce a girl to vent on. He wondered what kind of girl she was.

Seeing that Ye Xiao wasn't speaking, Chen Ming tried to please him and continued, "Brother Xiao, the girl is still a virgin. If I had known you were around here, I would have let you go first. But it's okay, it was just me this time. Zhang Liang wanted her too, but I didn't let him. Girls like her are only for guys at our level!"

"You mean to say this girl isn't a prostitute?" Ye Xiao asked.

Chen Ming chuckled and said, "Of course not, if she were, she wouldn't be at school. According to Zhang Liang, her parents are dead, and she's all alone in this world now. I just asked her to follow me, but this little brat actually refused. She doesn't know how much money I have, playing all chaste and noble. Although she looks appealing, in the end, it was easy to get her!"

Hearing this, anger surged within Ye Xiao. Chen Ming had just confessed that the girl's parents were dead, leaving her helpless in this world. Chen Ming was heartless and inhumane—he dared to desecrate a girl in such a pitiful state, without fearing divine retribution?

Ye Xiao was about to beat up Chen Ming but then reconsidered; if he attacked Chen Ming on the spot, and if Chen Ming didn't reveal where the girl was now, he wouldn't be able to find her. Even though he was determined to help the girl, he was powerless!

Ye Xiao controlled his anger and, with a neutral expression, asked Chen Ming, "Where is the girl now? I want to see what she looks like."

Thinking that Ye Xiao was genuinely interested in the girl, Chen Ming was overjoyed. It was as if he was inviting Ye Xiao to enjoy the woman, hoping that in the future Ye Xiao would indeed treat him as a brother, potentially boosting his status at Minghai Academy!

Chen Ming immediately said to Ye Xiao, "When we left, she was in classroom 7. Brother Xiao, let me take you there!"

"No need, just get lost before I lose my temper!" Ye Xiao said with a hint of anger after finding out where the girl was.

Chen Ming hadn't expected Ye Xiao to turn against him so abruptly, but dared not say anything. He quickly gestured to Zhang Liang and they hurriedly left the vicinity of Minghai Academy!

Song Jiamin approached Ye Xiao, sensing that something was off with him.

"What's wrong?" Song Jiamin asked Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao sighed and said, "They just raped a helpless girl!"

"What?" Song Jiamin was shocked upon hearing this and immediately turned to apprehend Chen Ming and Zhang Liang. As a police officer, catching rapists was her duty!

Ye Xiao grabbed Song Jiamin's wrist and calmly said, "Sometimes, the law can't handle everything, so don't rely too much on the law. Just wait, what goes around comes around. I believe they will face severe punishment soon, trust me!"

Seeing Ye Xiao so serious, Song Jiamin was slightly stunned but didn't pursue Chen Ming any further. Meanwhile, Ye Xiao headed straight towards Minghai Academy with a resolve to rescue the pitiful girl. Song Jiamin quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"To rescue the poor girl!" Ye Xiao didn't elaborate and walked directly into Minghai Academy!
