Ye Xiao saw that Liuu Qiliang remained silent and knew what he was thinking. He casually remarked, "Now you face two choices. First, cooperate with me and hand over the video, and I will ensure your promotion and prosperity. If you remain obedient to me, I believe becoming the deputy head of the Guard Bureau will not be the end of your career. Second, if you do not give me the video and oppose me, I won't do much to you. However, I believe Han Zhimin will definitely ensure you and your family meet a grisly end."

Liuu Qiliang's nerves shook. If Han Zhimin found out about this matter, he indeed would make him and his family meet a grisly end.

One choice led to glory and riches, the other to life and death.

He truly stood at a crossroads in life, looking at these two choices. Ye Xiao's face bore a light smile, but in Liuu Qiliang's eyes, Ye Xiao seemed to be grinning viciously.

Liuu Qiliang thought for a full three minutes, and Ye Xiao patiently waited for the same duration.

Liuu Qiliang looked up at Ye Xiao, sighed weakly, and finally said, "Alright, I choose the first option. I do not want the money."

Hearing Liuu Qiliang's words, Ye Xiao's expression eased into a slight smile—Liuu was no fool, and not taking the money showed his firm resolve to follow him. Ye Xiao said to Liuu Qiliang, "Years from now, you will see how correct today's decision was. I hope you can deliver the video to me sooner rather than later; delays could lead to complications."

Liuu Qiliang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go home and get it now."

Ye Xiao said, "I'll wait for you here."

Liuu Qiliang immediately stood up, then pulled open the door and left.

As Liuu Qiliang opened the door to leave, Ye Xiao said, "Liuu Lei, your dad hasn't drunk his tea yet, which is quite fragrant. Come in and drink it."

Liuu Qiliang, having lived for over forty years, clearly understood the meaning behind Ye Xiao's words. He had originally thought about leaving with Liuu Lei, but ended up walking out alone.

Seeing Liuu Qiliang leave, Zhan Bo, Wei Yang, Sun Yuze, and Liuu Lei immediately entered the private room.

Upon entering, Sun Yuze immediately looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Brother Xiao, how did it go?"

Ye Xiao replied, "He has gone to fetch the video. We can just wait here."

Wei Yang heard Ye Xiao's words, chuckled, and said, "He's quite sensible. Liuu Lei, you have really made a merit this time."

Liuu Lei's face blushed slightly as he looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Serving Brother Xiao, I will certainly do my utmost."

Then, Sun Yuze turned to Liuu Lei and said, "As long as you serve Brother Xiao loyally, what you'll receive will be much more than a measly million."

"Yes," Liuu Lei replied with a nod.

As Liuu Qiliang was leaving, Ye Xiao picked up his cell phone, flipped through the contacts, and soon found Song Jiamin's number.

He immediately called Song Jiamin.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Xiao's somewhat teasing words, Song Jiamin retorted, "We're about to have a meeting. What do you want?"

"A meeting? It's about Yang Ming, right?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Song Jiamin paused, her voice filled with confusion, "How did you know? Yang Ming's case really does involve you, doesn't it?"

Ye Xiao replied, "You're really smart. However, you better not attend today's meeting. You need to come and see me."

"But this meeting is very important," Song Jiamin protested. "And what do you need anyway?"

"It's nothing important. I just wanted to talk to you about Martial Arts," Ye Xiao chuckled.

Hearing about Martial Arts, Song Jiamin blushed. Every time she practiced Inner Strength now, she remembered that day's incident—an accident, but she had indeed lost her virginity to Ye Xiao, and in a heated moment, she even signed a contract with him that somewhat resembled a bond of servitude.

If after a year, Song Jiamin couldn't defeat Ye Xiao, she would really be in trouble—she would officially become Ye Xiao's woman, something she was very reluctant to accept. Yet, her stubborn nature prevented her from going back on her word, especially to Ye Xiao.

"I really can't come," Song Jiamin said. "How about another day?"

Being able to make the usually assertive and forceful Song Jiamin speak so gently was definitely something Ye Xiao should have been proud of.

However, Ye Xiao genuinely needed Song Jiamin's help at the moment.

Ye Xiao smilingly said, "No, you must come to me. I need your help with something."

"But…" she hesitated.

Ye Xiao interjected, "Look, if you don't come, I'll just go to the Guard Bureau myself and find you there in your meeting."

"You better not," Song Jiamin could imagine what a scene it would be if Ye Xiao really showed up.

"What about you then?" Ye Xiao asked with a smug smile.

"Hmph, fine, I'll come to you. But let me make it clear, if it's something I can't help with, I absolutely won't," Song Jiamin said without mincing words.

Ye Xiao replied, "Of course, what I do is surely for the good of the people."

Song Jiamin was momentarily speechless—what exactly did he want?

Ending the call, Ye Xiao noticed several pairs of eyes directed towards him.

```

Ye Xiao looked up and saw Zhan Bo and the others, all smiling at him.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "Why are you all wearing such sleazy expressions? Looking to get beaten up?"

Sun Yuze replied with a grin, "Police officer Song Jiamin, right?"

Ye Xiao gave Sun Yuze a glare and then said, "You know too much."

...

Liuu Qiliang was really fast. In less than twenty minutes, he came back with a USB drive.

Liuu Qiliang handed the USB drive to Ye Xiao and said, "Mr. Ye, everything you need is here."

Ye Xiao then looked at Sun Yuze and said, "You take care of getting a computer over here, and Mr. Liuu, you should head back to the office. Song Jiamin will be here soon, and you don't want to run into her here, do you?"

Upon hearing Song Jiamin's name, Liuu Qiliang was momentarily stunned and then looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Mr. Ye, what about you?"

"You don't need to worry about the rest, just wait for your promotion and fortune," Ye Xiao said smilingly to Liuu Qiliang.

Liuu Qiliang thought for a moment and finally turned and left.

Meanwhile, Sun Yuze quickly ran out and somehow managed to find a laptop, which he placed in front of Ye Xiao. Then Ye Xiao plugged in the USB drive.

The USB drive contained only one video, which wasn't very long—just ten minutes. Ye Xiao played it and watched intently.

The video seemed to be taken in Han Zhimin's office, and from it, it was clear that the people involved in a monetary exchange with Han Zhimin were two middle-aged men. One was identifiable by face, while the other could only be seen from behind, but from that angle, Ye Xiao could tell that it was definitely Huang Zongyuan without a doubt.

The video showed that the transaction was for five million, aimed at...

Ye Xiao was shocked halfway through—the five million was to hush up the matter after Lin Yaoguang's death.

"So it was Huang Zongyuan." Ye Xiao found it somewhat amusing as he watched the video, which indeed demonstrated that Lin Yaoguang's death was linked with Han Zhimin, and also how the case of Lin's death was forcibly suppressed due to him.

Based on the information obtained from the video, it seemed Han Zhimin was unlikely to escape death.

"I never expected this video to be related to Lin Yaoguang's death from those years ago," Sun Yuze said with a slight smile, then looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Brother Xiao, do you plan to give this video to my father or directly to the inspector general?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Sun Yuze and shook his head, "I'm not planning to give it to either of those places."

Sun Yuze was very puzzled; if not given to his father or the inspector general, what good was the video? Could there be someone else who could handle it?

Just then, Ye Xiao's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Song Jiamin.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "It's meant for this person's father."

After saying this, Ye Xiao answered the call.

Once connected, Song Jiamin immediately said, irritated, "Where are you? I came over, and you're not at the school gate."

Ye Xiao replied with a smile, "I'm at the Yummy Restaurant we went to last time. I'll come to the entrance to pick you up."

"What a hassle," Song Jiamin remarked.

Ye Xiao hung up the phone and immediately stood up from his chair.

Weii Yang looked at Ye Xiao puzzledly and asked, "Brother Xiao, who's coming?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "The goddess."

Ye Xiao stepped out of the Yummy Restaurant, and a policewoman in uniform approached from across the street. As she walked by, several men with inappropriate thoughts couldn't help but gawk, though they merely stared indulgently without daring to approach.

With a stern expression on her face, Song Jiamin saw Ye Xiao's smiling face and felt even more annoyed.

"What do you need from me? I'm still working," Song Jiamin glanced sharply at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately replied with a smile, "Of course, it's a good deed. Wouldn't you say removing a threat to the people counts as one?"

"You?" Song Jiamin looked at Ye Xiao disdainfully, "What good can you do?"

Ye Xiao said, "Come in and you'll see. I assure you, you won't regret it."

Song Jiamin looked at Ye Xiao skeptically and said, "Don't lie to me, or I'll leave right away."

"Okay, if it's about removing a threat to the people, wouldn't you reward me?" Ye Xiao said, grinning.

"Reward you, my foot. What are you thinking?" Song Jiamin said, clearly irritated.

Still, Song Jiamin followed Ye Xiao into the Yummy Restaurant.

In front of the video, Song Jiamin was stunned.

"This isn't computer-generated, is it?" Song Jiamin looked at the video incredulously. Although Han Zhimin's reputation had always been bad, she hadn't expected him to actually do something so heinous.

Song Jiamin looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Do you want me to give this video to the inspector general?"

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I want to see your father."
