The first to arrive was not Yang Ming, but Song Jiamin. After Song Jiamin arrived, she was indeed surprised to see Ye Xiao sitting on one person and stepping on another.

Song Jiamin, in her police uniform, approached Ye Xiao with a hint of surprise and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Ye Xiao looked at Song Jiamin and was quite taken aback by her arrival.

Ye Xiao glanced at Song Jiamin and said, "Officer Song, I want to know if police officers count as official personnel."

How could Song Jiamin know what Ye Xiao meant by that, so she simply replied, "Yes."

Ye Xiao continued, "Well then, I would like to ask you, what do the words 'official personnel' mean?"

By that time, there were quite a few onlookers, most of them ordinary people. Song Jiamin didn't dare to take her words lightly, although she didn't know what Ye Xiao meant, she still said, "Of course, it means people from the national government."

Ye Xiao asked further, "So I would like to know, is it in fashion now for officials to assault people? Even prisons have humanized conditions these days. So what, are free people in society worth less than prisoners? Just now, there was a couple bloodied by this gang's beating, and they've been sent to the hospital by their daughter."

"Was... was it Captain Feng who did it?" Song Jiamin immediately looked at Feng Chao lying on the ground.

Feng Chao knew Song Jiamin's character, so he hurriedly said, "It wasn't me, it was these market administrators."

"But you are their pillar of support, their accomplice. Now, I am going to strike you down, this old tiger, and I want to see who dares to say a word against it," Ye Xiao said loudly.

Song Jiamin, looking at Feng Chao being stepped on by Ye Xiao, then at Ye Xiao herself, approached Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, should we not release them first, and let the law make the judgment?"

"The law?" Ye Xiao laughed out loud and said, "But, the one I'm sitting on right now claims to be the embodiment of justice, and even law itself. Should the law punish this social scum, or does this social scum control the law? So, I will wait for the enforcer of the law to come before discussing further."

"Who is coming?" asked Song Jiamin.

"Yang Ming," Ye Xiao said.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Song Jiamin immediately fell silent, by then, she had realized that Ye Xiao was intent on escalating the issue, and it seemed Feng Chao was done for.

Song Jiamin looked at Ye Xiao, who had started playing games on his cellphone again.

Song Jiamin was at a loss with Ye Xiao. After thinking for a bit, she asked, "Did you call Jiaqian just now because of that injured couple?"

"Yes," said Ye Xiao, without lifting his head and continuing to play his game.

Song Jiamin stood by, watching Ye Xiao, gaining a new appreciation for him — she hadn't expected Ye Xiao to get so angry on behalf of others.

Yang Ming arrived very quickly, running multiple red lights along the way. As soon as he reached the scene, he got out of the car and hurried over to Ye Xiao. Seeing the person under Ye Xiao's foot, he immediately looked at Ye Xiao.

In front of so many people, Yang Ming didn't dare to address Ye Xiao as 'Brother Xiao', so he could only walk over and pretend not to know him, saying, "Sir, what has happened? I am Yang Ming, the head of the Minghai City Guard Bureau. If there's anything, just tell me, and I'll see to it."

Ye Xiao then stood up, kicking a bench away, and stepped on the face of the leader of the market administrators, saying, "This deliberate infliction of injury, causing innocent people to suffer head wounds, should be criminally liable."

Yang Ming immediately looked at Song Jiamin and said, "Officer Song, where are the handcuffs?"

Song Jiamin promptly took out a pair of handcuffs from her belt. Yang Ming grabbed the handcuffs and, with a swift move over his shoulder, cuffed the leader of the market administrators.

Ye Xiao then looked at Feng Chao, who had just stood up. Before Feng Chao could react, Ye Xiao kicked him, and Feng Chao fell hard to the ground again.

At the same time, Ye Xiao said, "He is the backbone of this social scum. I wonder what our Guard Bureau head, Mr. Yang Ming, will do about this?"

Yang Ming immediately glared at Feng Chao and said coldly, "Wait to be disciplined."

"No," said Ye Xiao.

Yang Ming and everyone around looked at Ye Xiao, clearly puzzled by his disagreement with Yang Ming. Wasn't calling the head of the Guard Bureau for anything other than punishing this self-serving man?

While everyone was perplexed, Ye Xiao said, "Such a person must be dismissed on the spot, and additionally, an investigation into whether he has been involved in corruption and bribery must be conducted."

"Ah? I'm innocent," cried Feng Chao loudly.

At that moment, Song Jiamin immediately called her subordinates, asking them to reinforce the scene swiftly.

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he walked over to a table, looked around at the people, and spoke loudly, "Now, let's give a round of applause to our unbiased and iron-faced Head of the Guard Bureau, Yang Ming. I hope that under his leadership, the Minghai City Guard Bureau will be a department that truly enforces the law."

What Ye Xiao had just done was something many people dared to think but didn't dare to do. So when Ye Xiao said this, he immediately resonated with many people, who started to clap thunderously.

Yang Ming then said loudly, "The Guard Bureau is the common people's backing. Anyone who threatens the safety of the ordinary citizens is an enemy of the Guard Bureau, and every enemy will be brought to justice without leniency."

Once again, there was a burst of applause.

However, when everyone looked back at the table, they found that Ye Xiao had disappeared. When people looked for him, they saw Ye Xiao had made his way to a stall selling eight-treasure porridge and was ordering porridge and pork buns.

"Ma'am, how much is it?" Ye Xiao, as he made the purchase, had once again become the bright sunny smile, very different from his previously imposing demeanor.

The woman selling the items immediately said, "Young brother, you really are a little hero. This porridge and meat buns are on the house for you."

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Auntie, business, especially small business, is all about earning hard-earned money. Don't be courteous with me, please. I'll pay whatever it costs. If you won't take the money, then I can't take the porridge and meat buns."

"What a good kid." Unable to argue with Ye Xiao, the woman selling the items could only name the price.

Ye Xiao paid the exact amount and then headed straight for the Sunshine District. Even after he had walked quite a distance, people still looked towards Ye Xiao. Clearly, on this morning, Ye Xiao really was the hero in their hearts.

Song Jiamin and Yang Ming watched as Ye Xiao left, and then they stayed a while longer, speaking official jargon.

…

Ye Xiao walked into Sunshine District and immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket. He had just remembered something; it seemed the market manager had mentioned that Qin Erzhu's family had offended Young Master Zhang.

So, who was this Young Master Zhang? Could it be that Zhang Zihao?

Ye Xiao became even more convinced, so he took out his phone and called Yang Ming.

After finishing some pleasantries and talking with some citizens, Yang Ming heard his phone ring. As he took it out, he saw 'Brother Xiao' displayed on the screen and immediately, not daring to take it lightly, walked to the side to answer the call.

"Brother Xiao."

Ye Xiao said, "Interrogate them for me, find out who they mean by 'Young Master Zhang'."

"Young Master Zhang?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yang Ming was even more puzzled; he had even less of an idea who Young Master Zhang could be.

However, now that Ye Xiao had given an order, he quickly replied, "Yes. Yes."

Although Ye Xiao's tone and attitude had been very unpleasant that day, Yang Ming didn't dare to say anything. Ever since Ye Xiao had promoted him from being a captain of the Criminal Police Team to the top position in the Guard Bureau, Yang Ming had never again doubted Ye Xiao's abilities.

After hanging up, Ye Xiao, carrying the eight-treasures porridge and meat buns, went towards the villa with a smile.

It was about seven-thirty at this point, and all the girls in the villa were already in the living room.

"Ye Xiao, you're not still asleep, are you?" Su Yun asked with a puzzled look toward Ye Xiao's closed room door, expressing doubt.

Ling Shuya said, "Definitely. He must have tired himself out last night looking for Lin Dieying. Hmph, to think he returned only after midnight."

Clearly, Ling Shuya had some objections about Ye Xiao coming back so late.

Su Yun looked towards Ling Shuya and smiled slightly.

Just then, the villa door was pushed open, and Ye Xiao, humming a tune, walked in.

"When did you go out? Why get up so early?" Zhou Yuyan immediately asked upon seeing Ye Xiao.

Holding up the eight-treasures porridge and meat buns, Ye Xiao said with a grin, "Of course, I went to buy breakfast."

"Hmph, I knew it, you definitely felt guilty." Ling Shuya gave Ye Xiao a disdainful look.

Guilty?

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Ye Xiao gave a wry smile. What indecent thing had he done to feel guilty about?

However, Ye Xiao didn't take up the conversation but looked towards Su Yun and said with a laugh, "Sister Su, am I attending regular classes today or is it a tutoring session?"

"It seems one-on-one tutoring is truly addictive," Ling Shuya interjected without waiting for Su Yun to reply.

At that moment, Su Yun said with a laugh, "Today we'll continue tutoring, of course. By the way, did you make any progress in Federation Language last night?"

"Of course, with my level... Oh right, what's the score for Federation Language?" Ye Xiao asked.

"150 points," Su Yun said.

"Then I got a perfect score," Ye Xiao asserted proudly.

"Perfect score?" Ling Shuya immediately remarked, "You're boasting. Don't say it's you; even Lin Dieying might not be able to get a perfect score."

Ye Xiao immediately gave Ling Shuya an ambiguous look and said, "What if I did get a perfect score?"

"Do whatever you want," Ling Shuya said, steeling herself.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "If I got a perfect score, you give me a kiss. If I didn't get a perfect score, I'll give you a kiss."

Ling Shuya was about to agree but suddenly realized there was an issue with that wager. She immediately frowned and said, "Wouldn't that mean you win either way? If you don't get a perfect score, you have to do one hundred and fifty push-ups on campus in front of the students. Do you dare?"

Ling Shuya challenged Ye Xiao with a provoking look.

Ye Xiao just smiled slightly and said, "As long as you don't back out, I agree."

"Of course, I won't back out," Ling Shuya replied confidently upon hearing Ye Xiao's agreement. "Whoever backs out will be nicknamed 'Puppy' from now on."
