Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 190: Three Grades


The blue Porsche steadily halted on the finish line. The door opened, and Ye Xiao emerged relaxed, while Lan Lan, already extremely excited, ran over.

"Ye Xiao, you won!" exclaimed Lan Lan, her face alight with thrill. Ye Xiao's top speed had reached at least 330, maybe even higher. That was a first-class level nationally and even internationally.

Who exactly was Ye Xiao? Even now, Lan Lan was very puzzled. Could he really be just an ordinary person?

Ye Xiao chuckled and asked, "By luck, who owns this car?"

Then, the owner of the blue Porsche, recovering from his shock, hurried over to Ye Xiao and said, "It's mine."

Ye Xiao, looking apologetic, pointed at the blue Porsche and said, "The engine needs good maintenance; if possible, replace it."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the car owner quickly asked, "Would replacing it with a better engine make it go faster?"

Ye Xiao shook his head and replied, "That's not it. If you don't change the engine, this car is a goner."

Ah?

When the owner heard what Ye Xiao had said, he hurriedly ran to the front of the car. As he touched the hood, it was scorching hot.

Ye Xiao was helpless. Just as Xu Ming and the others had said, the blue Porsche really was a dud. It was an achievement for Ye Xiao to drive it at high speed to the finish line. If it were someone else, the car might have caught fire before reaching the end.

About a minute later, Xu Ming's Lamborghini reached the finish line. Getting out of the car, the previously arrogant Xu Ming now had a face as black as coal, looking extremely ugly.

"Brother Ming." Ren Yi and Zhao Xin immediately ran over to Xu Ming, concerned.

Xu Ming ignored them and walked straight towards Ye Xiao, looking at him coldly and asking, "Who exactly are you?"

"Didn't I already tell you?" Ye Xiao smiled faintly.

Xu Ming said, "I'm asking about your identity. If I'm not mistaken, you must be a high-level member of some racing club."

Ye Xiao shook his finger and said, "You've actually guessed wrong this time. I'm really not interested in any racing club. We still have something to talk about, don't we?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone understood.

Xu Ming didn't shirk. Glancing at Ren Yi, Ren Yi immediately handed over a stack of signed checks to Ye Xiao, saying, "Here's ten million."

"Thank you." Ye Xiao, unceremoniously, took all the checks.

Making money this fast was truly marvelous. Just from driving for a bit, he made ten million. Of course, these thoughts were in Ye Xiao's mind. He didn't voice them. If he had, these people would undoubtedly be infuriated.

Xu Ming still looking at Ye Xiao said, "How about having dinner together tonight? Now that Lan Lan is officially part of the Weihang Club's Minghai branch, you being her friend, naturally become our friend too."

Clearly, Xu Ming had taken a liking to Ye Xiao's talent. Such a skilled racer, if reported to the higher authorities in the provincial city, would surely bring back significant rewards, far outstripping this mere ten million.

However, Ye Xiao just smiled faintly and said, "It seems there's still something that hasn't been taken care of."

"Oh?" Xu Ming looked at Ye Xiao questioningly and asked, "There is? What is it?"

Ye Xiao then looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Miss Zhao, I won two rounds, so you should accompany me for forty-eight hours. But being immensely generous, I'll settle for just twenty-four hours."

As soon as Ye Xiao said this, everyone around looked coldly at him. Clearly, no one thought Ye Xiao wasn't provoking trouble with these words.

Lan Lan immediately stood by Ye Xiao and whispered, "Ye Xiao, let's not go too far."

But, Ye Xiao wasn't going to settle. 'A stupid man doesn't take advantage of gains' was his most cherished belief, and he didn't want to be the fool, so he had to take this advantage.

Ren Yi, who was impulsive, stepped forward, glared at Ye Xiao, and said, "We've given you the money. Don't be greedy. Don't think just because you won a car race, you're all that. Let me tell you, if today we decide you should not leave this place, you might end up staying here forever."

"What does that mean? Are you thinking of hitting someone?" Lan Lan, hearing their words, immediately retorted agressively to Ren Yi. Of course, Lan Lan also knew that if Ye Xiao were to make a move, these guys stood no chance.

Ren Yi laughed loudly and said, "So what if we hit someone? Let me tell you, Lan Lan, today Brother Ming might mercifully let you join the Weihang Club. But also, he could kick you out any time."

Xu Ming, who had been silent all this while, seemed to tacitly approve of Ren Yi's loud outburst.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and shamelessly said, "You all realize I'm a master. Since I'm a master, I must be very skilled in many areas. So, don't blame me for not warning you, but when a master makes a move, he makes his mark. Once I do, heh, you'll be at my mercy."

"F*ck." Xu Ming was pissed, and his gang, especially the boys, were furious after hearing Ye Xiao's words that were half-joking and half-provocative. Especially Ren Yi, who surrounded Ye Xiao, ready to beat him up.

Ye Xiao wasn't afraid at all; of course, he wouldn't fear them. With his capability, he could knockout them in a snap.

"What are you guys doing? Are you really going to fight?" Ye Xiao looked at Ren Yi and the others in surprise, retracted his earlier confidence, and quickly said, "Actually, I haven't finished talking yet. If Miss Zhao is willing to pay a ransom, I am willing to negotiate."

Ransom?

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhao Xin was furious, "What are you, Ren Yi, beat him up."

"Wait a minute." Xu Ming said.

Ren Yi, who was about to hit Ye Xiao, immediately stopped and looked at Xu Ming with confusion.

Xu Ming didn't look at Ren Yi but stared at Ye Xiao and asked, "How do you propose the ransom?"

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I'll set up three levels for you: low-level 1 million, middle level 3 million, high-level 5 million."

Ransom also has levels?

Yet the way Ye Xiao set the levels left everyone speechless.

At this moment, Zhao Xin was cursing the women in Ye Xiao's family in her heart, hating Ye Xiao to the core. She would have rather slept with him than this, and now, Ye Xiao was looking at Xu Ming while saying this, clearly indicating that Xu Ming had the final say on how much ransom to pay. This meant Zhao Xin's worth was equivalent to the cash Xu Ming decided to hand over today.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Xiao then cheekily said, "You could consider the cheapest one, low-grade ransom. Though it's low-grade, it costs less which is absolutely worth it."

"I'll pay 6 million." Xu Ming looked at Ye Xiao seriously and lightly spoke.

Money wasn't something precious to Xu Ming; his father gave him several hundred million a year to spend as he wished. This amount of money, which seemed massive to ordinary people, was nothing to someone like Xu Ming, coming from an incredibly wealthy family, and the money wasn't even obtained legally.

Spending 6 million to gain more loyalty from his men was something Xu Ming considered worth it.

And Xu Ming offering 6 million naturally told everyone that Zhao Xin's value was higher than high-level.

Ye Xiao didn't care which level Xu Ming chose; he was focused on the money.

Heavenly Gate Security Company had just been established, and running a company was burning money. Thus, to build Heavenly Gate Security Company into a world-class corporation amid society's whirlpools required unimaginable financial power. However, this 6 million was a refreshing boon to the newly founded company.

Xu Ming then signed another 6 million check and handed it to Ye Xiao, who immediately took it, counted it, and then smilingly said, "Not bad, not bad. Alright, everyone, if there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave."

Ye Xiao turned to leave.

Lan Lan was also a bit surprised, thinking that Ye Xiao truly had a knack for business, earning another 6 million so easily.

"Wait." Xu Ming looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, if you're interested, I can offer you much more money than this to join the Weihang Club."

Unlike before, when money was very enticing, Ye Xiao casually waved his hand and said, "No need, money is enough as long as it's sufficient. Too much of it isn't good."

After saying that, Ye Xiao sat directly in Lan Lan's white BMW X6.

Lan Lan, now realizing what was happening, didn't mention joining Weihang Club anymore and quickly got in the car.

Watching the white BMW slowly drive away from the race track, Xu Ming's expression finally turned cold.

"Brother Ming, are we just letting him go like this?" Ren Yi was discontent and said while looking at the white BMW, "We should have stopped him and beaten him into paralysis."

Zhao Xin immediately said, "Exactly, Brother Ming, we can still stop them by notifying the security at the entrance."

Xu Ming glanced at Zhao Xin and Ren Yi and said, "This man is definitely not simple. Have someone check his background; I don't believe he's just some hillbilly."

Ren Yi nodded in agreement.

Inside the white BMW.

While driving, Lan Lan asked Ye Xiao doubtfully, "Ye Xiao, you weren't afraid of them hitting you, why didn't you insist on Zhao Xin keeping you company?"

Hearing Lan Lan's question, Ye Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "I don't like second-hand goods."

Hearing this, Lan Lan secretly felt relieved that she didn't behave promiscuously.
