Song Jiaqian, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, fell silent as well; after all, the Qirui was indeed a car, just not a luxury one.

Ultimately, Song Jiaqian and Qin Yulu followed Ye Xiao's suggestion and went to look for a restaurant near the Third Academy.

They were very puzzled by this, especially since there were many restaurants near the city hospital.

Once in the car, Ye Xiao started the Qirui and suddenly, looking intently ahead, he said, "Lulu, do you know who injured your father today?"

Qin Yulu, hearing Ye Xiao bring up her father being beaten, felt her mood, which had just slightly improved, sink again. She bowed her head and said, "I have a guess, but I can't be sure since there's no evidence."

"You're thinking of Zhang Zihao, aren't you?" Ye Xiao started the Qirui and slowly merged onto the road, beginning to drive.

Qin Yulu, startled by Ye Xiao's words, looked at him and asked, "How did you know?"

"Because if I were you, I would have thought of Zhang Zihao too," Ye Xiao said without turning to look at Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu sighed and said, "But I don't have any evidence. If I did, I would definitely call the police."

Ye Xiao said, "Call the police? What good would that do? If Zhang Zihao dares to have the market manager trouble your family, do you think he doesn't have connections with the police?"

"Ah?" Qin Yulu was extremely shocked by Ye Xiao's words, then asked, "Then what should we do?"

At that moment, Song Jiaqian looked at Ye Xiao and said, "How can you be so sure it's him? What if you're wrong?"

Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, "News from the Guard Bureau, it can't be wrong."

Of course, Song Jiaqian knew about Ye Xiao's connections with the Guard Bureau, so if the news came from the Guard Bureau, it had to be accurate.

Qin Yulu, hearing this, was also very surprised and said, "So it really was Zhang Zihao."

Ye Xiao nodded and said nothing.

Then, Song Jiaqian said, "I'll call my sister to have that Zhang Zihao arrested. Uncle Qin is so old, yet he was attacked so viciously."

Ye Xiao said, "No need, aren't we going to find him?"

"Find him?" Both Song Jiaqian and Qin Yulu were stunned; after all, Ye Xiao had previously talked about going for a meal.

Ye Xiao said, "Zhang Zihao's family is very wealthy. Since they are rich, the law is just a showpiece to them. Thus, to deal with such people, one must fight fire with fire."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Song Jiaqian realized what Ye Xiao meant to do; however, thinking of nearly fifty-year-old Qin Erzhu coming to the hospital bloody-faced, Song Jiaqian immediately felt indignant and said, "That's right, the only way to deal with such people is to fight fire with fire."

"But what if..."

"There are no 'what ifs.' People who attack the elderly should learn what it feels like to be beaten themselves," Song Jiaqian scoffed.

Qin Yulu herself wanted to personally hit Zhang Zihao for revenge for her father, but thinking of his powerful and influential family, and how her father was beaten so badly after Zhang Zihao faced a setback the previous day,

Fear rose in Qin Yulu's heart. She looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, let's just drop it. Zhang Zihao is a very powerful figure at the Third Academy. He has money and power; we simply can't afford to provoke him. If he suffers a setback again, who knows what worse things he might do in revenge."

Ye Xiao could tell Qin Yulu was afraid. He remained silent; if Qin Yulu wasn't afraid, he might not have been so angry, but her fear made him even angrier.

The sight of such a beautiful woman as Qin Yulu fretting furiously was an unforgivable sin to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao knew that only by bringing down Zhang Zihao's family could Qin Yulu's fear be alleviated.

Ye Xiao, an excellent driver, soon arrived at the entrance of the Third Academy. At this time, there weren't many students at the entrance of the Third Academy; school had already let out, and those who hadn't left had returned to their classrooms after eating.

Ye Xiao glanced around, noticing a fast-food restaurant called Red Bean near the Third Academy. He immediately drove the car there.

"How about we eat here?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile, looking at Song Jiaqian and Qin Yulu.

Song Jiaqian was indifferent, while Qin Yulu looked unhappy, obviously brooding over her parent's affair again.

Song Jiaqian said, "No problem, let's go in and order."

Ye Xiao said, "Yeah, okay, I'll be there once I've parked the car."

When he saw Song Jiaqian and Qin Yulu walk into the Red Bean Restaurant, Ye Xiao took out his phone and dialed a number, connecting quickly.

"Brother Xiao, are you calling for the video?" the other side asked. It was Chen Ming, who, upon seeing it was Ye Xiao calling, immediately asked.

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, what's the rush? I just need a little favor from you. You wouldn't refuse to help me later just because I send you the video later, would you? We're friends, after all."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Chen Ming felt an urge to vomit blood. Friends? Ye Xiao dared to say they were friends? Did such 'honorable' friends even exist nowadays? They almost led to the downfall of the Chen family.

But, since the tantalizing video about Chen Maozhong hadn't yet reached him, Chen Ming dared not act haughtily and said, "Brother Xiao, how could you think that? Just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best."

Ye Xiao said, "Haha, that's more like it! That's how friends should be. Actually, the favor I need is pretty simple—I just want to know where Zhang Zihao is right now?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao, Chen Ming immediately responded with confusion, "Looking for Zhang Zihao? Brother Xiao, what's going on?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Chen Ming said, "Zhang Zihao usually goes to Yunlong Internet Cafe near the Third Academy to play games every afternoon. He's probably there today too, and Brother Xiao, is there anything...?"

"No need." Ye Xiao said curtly and then abruptly hung up the phone.

Chen Ming, looking at his phone after being hung up on, had an ugly look on his face but sighed inwardly. He didn't want to betray Zhang Zihao, but now, whatever Ye Xiao asked, if he knew, he just had to provide the information.

The fate of the Chen family still hung in Ye Xiao's hands. If Ye Xiao, displeased, decided to release that video about his father, their family would be utterly ruined.

Nowadays, the internet was a powerful tool, and netizens loved sensational news. If the video was leaked online, it would cause a huge uproar, and no matter how powerful the Chen family's backing was, they would be doomed.

Chen Ming was worried about Zhang Zihao, but there was nothing he could do since Zhang Zihao had brought it upon himself. Today, after Zhang Zihao showed off how he had used the market managers, Chen Ming had suspected that it wouldn't end easily.

Sure enough, Ye Xiao had come knocking before noon was over.

So, at this point, Chen Ming could only hope that Zhang Zihao would fend for himself.

After hanging up, Ye Xiao's face broke into an immediate grin, knowing Zhang Zihao's location meant he was like a turtle in a jar!

Entering the Red Bean Restaurant, which was a mid-range place with a nice environment and reasonably priced menu.

The three of them chose a table by the window to sit down.

Song Jiaqian smiled as she took the menu from the waiter and immediately handed it to Qin Yulu, saying with a smile, "Yulu, see if there's anything you'd like to eat!"

Qin Yulu felt a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Qian, you should order. I… um, I don't come to places like this often, so I… don't really know what the food is like here!"

Qin Yulu's family wasn't wealthy; her Uncle Qin worked from dawn till dusk daily just to provide a basic living, and she had always been sensible, never competing with her peers in eating or dressing, thus she had never been here before!

Song Jiaqian initially meant well, but seeing Qin Yulu's reluctance, she sensed her discomfort and quickly said with a smile, "Actually, they serve homestyle dishes here, so let's just pick something that'll do!"

Ye Xiao, feeling like Song Jiaqian had seemingly forgotten about him, looked at her and said, "What about me? Don't I get to order?"

Seeing him cheerful outside while on the phone, she asked, "Who was that beauty on the phone? Invite her along!"

Ye Xiao responded truthfully, "I was just checking where Zhang Zihao was, and after we eat, we're going straight there to confront him!"

Qin Yulu immediately turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, are you really planning to go find him?"

Ye Xiao replied, "This world is fair, no one can dictate life or death over others, except in very rare cases, but Zhang Zihao is not one of those rare cases."

Song Jiaqian looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You say one thing, laugh about another—do you really plan to use violence, and in broad daylight at that?"

"When do you think would be appropriate then?"

Song Jiaqian chuckled and said, "Well, when I was in school, we only did such things at night. It looks bad during the day!"

"I think so too, but I need to study at night, so I've got some free time now!" Ye Xiao said, shrugging with a smile.

Song Jiaqian didn't really have any sense of justice; ever since she knew that Qin Yulu's father had been beaten by this Zhang Zihao, she wanted to see what Zhang Zihao was all about. So, when Ye Xiao mentioned going to trouble Zhang Zihao, Song Jiaqian maintained a neutral stance.

However, Qin Yulu was somewhat reluctant to escalate matters, but since her father had been beaten, she felt somewhat indignant.
