"You're the one being flirty!" Ling Shuya glared at Zhou Yuyan!

"Then why are you blushing?" Zhou Yuyan asked.

When Ling Shuya heard what Zhou Yuyan said, she immediately touched her own face and indeed, it was somewhat hot. Ling Shuya stammered, "I... I... yeah, I caught a cold last night!"

Although she and Zhou Yuyan were best friends, when it came to the matter of Ye Xiao, she still didn't want to be too explicit!

However, Zhou Yuyan didn't suspect anything about Ling Shuya's stammering; instead, upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, she immediately exclaimed, "No way, I didn't sleep with you for one night and you caught a cold? Looks like it really doesn't work for you to sleep alone!"

"What are you talking about?" Ling Shuya's cheeks reddened even more!

Zhou Yuyan really didn't know what was happening and immediately responded upon hearing Ling Shuya's retort, "What I said is true, alas, it seems I have to put up with sleeping with you tonight!"

When Ling Shuya heard what Zhou Yuyan said, the usually joyous feeling she had before was absent today. In fact, Ling Shuya felt somewhat repelled by it.

By now, Ling Shuya and Ye Xiao had tangled a few times, so although their relationship wasn't public, both of them knew about it. Right now, Ling Shuya wished that the place she lived was not a villa but just an ordinary house, one where only she and Ye Xiao lived, and then...

Thinking this, Ling Shuya's cheeks turned red once again!

Shen Qiuyu knew what was going on with Ling Shuya, so she immediately told Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, "Shuya, Yuyan, hurry up and eat breakfast, if you don't eat now it'll really get cold!"

Hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, the two promptly stopped whispering and quickly went to the dining table!

Ye Xiao stayed silent. Tang Rong, that mischievous girl, glanced back and forth between Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya, occasionally chuckling. Zhou Hao looked puzzled, always feeling the atmosphere was a bit strange.

The breakfast was not very relaxed, at least from what Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya could see, but Ling Shuya could adjust her mood pretty quickly after all. She was also concerned that Zhou Yuyan and the others might really notice something!

After they finished eating breakfast, it was only around 7 am!

Just then, Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang!

Ye Xiao took out his phone and saw that it was from Han Xuewei!

Right then, Zhou Yuyan saw the name on Ye Xiao's phone and immediately joked, "Ye Xiao, seems like your relationship with the great beauty Han isn't shallow, huh? She's even calling you this early!"

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Zhou Yuyan, not minding Zhou Hao being there, and said, "What, are you jealous?"

"Hmph, I'm eating soy sauce here, don't flatter yourself too much!" Zhou Yuyan said dismissively, then looked at Ling Shuya and said, "Shuya, tell him, right?"

Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao and then subtly nodded, surprisingly without any sarcasm.

Zhou Yuyan was momentarily stunned, looking at Ling Shuya as if she was a strange creature.

"What?" Ling Shuya, seeing Zhou Yuyan staring with wide eyes, asked with a puzzled expression.

"I think you've changed a bit!" Zhou Yuyan suddenly said.

Ling Shuya immediately responded, "I haven't! You're overthinking it!"

"Look how nervous you are. I just meant your temper seems a bit better than before, which is a good trend. But why are you so nervous?" Zhou Yuyan looked suspicious.

"Nervous, my foot!" Ling Shuya deliberately put on an expression of annoyance and started randomly browsing through her phone.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao immediately answered the call.

At this moment, what could Han Xuewei possibly be calling about? Perhaps it was about the funeral of Han Jianjun? Indeed, it was about time for that.

"Xuewei!" Ye Xiao initially wanted to call Han Xuewei 'Weiwei', but with several people around, he feared it might cause a misunderstanding, so he kept it formal.

But the words that came from the phone took Ye Xiao by surprise.

"Ye Xiao, right? Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Qiang!"

The voice on the phone made Ye Xiao pause for a moment. Who was Shi Qiang? Ye Xiao knew all too well. With Huang Zongyuan involved, Shi Qiang was definitely a participant. Moreover, Huang Zongyuan dared to be so blatant and domineering in Minghai City, all because Shi Qiang was backing him up!

"Hello, Mr. Shi, I am Ye Xiao!" Ye Xiao's expression suddenly became serious!

However, because Ye Xiao's expression changed, Zhou Hao and others, who had been joking around, suddenly stopped and all looked at Ye Xiao. Anything that could change Ye Xiao's expression like that was surely something serious, and besides, it was Han Xuewei who made the call, but now Ye Xiao was addressing the person on the other end of the line as 'Mr. Shi'!

The person on the phone was exactly Shi Qiang. He was an arrogant man, and he had sent people to find Ye Xiao, thinking he could easily handle him. However, what he did not expect was that not only did Ye Xiao not give him face, he had also beaten up his men, which made Shi Qiang very unhappy!

Previously, Shi Qiang had significant connections with the police force, even the former head of the Guard Bureau, Han Zhimin. But since Han Zhimin's fall, their Black Dragon Company had been quite passive, and ever since Nie Zhen took over Axe Company, they had been attacking Black Dragon Company continually, with Heavenly Gate swiftly growing during Axe Company's attacks on Black Dragon Company. Shi Qiang was actually in a bad mood now, under normal circumstances, he would have immediately sent people to capture Ye Xiao and kill him outright, but currently, as Huang Zongyuan was in police custody, and the police seemed to have a very close relationship with Ye Xiao. The new head, Yang Ming, didn't care at all about Shi Qiang!

So, now Shi Qiang could only turn to Ye Xiao. But then—who was he? The boss of Black Dragon Company, in Minghai City, if not shaking it three times with a single stomp, at least his words carried significant weight!

"Ye Xiao, there seems to be some misunderstanding between Zongyuan and you. I hope we can resolve it face-to-face," Shi Qiang said.

"Mr. Shi, you're not thinking of asking me to go to the Guard Bureau and release Huang Zongyuan, are you? I might not have the capability to do that, and you know, the matter of Huang Zongyuan committing murder has already been reported!" Ye Xiao said, "Besides, what right or ability do I have to influence the Guard Bureau? What if some confused cop gets excited and ends up arresting me too?"

Shi Qiang, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, was almost ready to curse out, but he did not, or rather, he really did not dare to curse. Who doesn't have a few close friends or brothers? Shi Qiang had such a brother, that was Huang Zongyuan!

Their sworn brotherhood meant that Shi Qiang took Huang Zongyuan's safety very seriously and was prepared to pay a great price to save him!

"Ye Xiao, you should be very clear about what kind of man I am, Shi Qiang. Although I know you are friends with Zhao Dapeng of Heavenly Gate and have a good relationship, Heavenly Gate is nothing in my eyes. So, if I decide to move against you, it would be quite simple, after all, Black Dragon Company has more than three thousand members." Shi Qiang's words obviously carried a threat, but then he continued, "Of course, I don't wish to become enemies with you, so I think we should sit down and talk, perhaps, at President Han's house!"

President Han!

Ye Xiao immediately understood who he was referring to!

Shi Qiang was now at Han Xuewei's house. His expression hardened—he hated being threatened, yet Shi Qiang had done exactly that!

"Fine, I'm coming over now. I don't want my friends to suffer any harm. Otherwise, I don't want to threaten you, but your three thousand men are nothing!" Ye Xiao's voice was icy cold to the extreme!

Shi Qiang, upon hearing Ye Xiao's disdainful words, was immediately furious. Yet, to get Ye Xiao to come, he had to suppress his own anger and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt them."

Ye Xiao then hung up the phone!

"What happened, boss?" Zhou Hao now also realized something big must have happened, probably something related to Han Xuewei!

He knew about Han Jianjun's death; after all, it was a major event in Minghai City.

"Somebody is asking for death!" Ye Xiao's voice was quiet, but it was so icy cold that it surprised everyone present.

Zhou Hao had once fought life and death battles with Ye Xiao, but even he rarely saw Ye Xiao so angry.

"Boss!" Zhou Hao looked at Ye Xiao; having fought together for such a long time, he could tell Zhou Hao wanted him to calm down!

The raging fire within him vanished in an instant!

"Han Xuewei is now under the control of Black Dragon Company's boss," Ye Xiao said.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Shen Qiuyu were all extremely surprised.

"How could that be?" Ling Shuya said, "Her father just died yesterday, how..."

"Yes, that's why I said this Shi Qiang is asking for death," Ye Xiao said.

Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, try to stay calm. Haven't you always said to maintain a clear head at all times?"

Ye Xiao, having heard Ling Shuya's words and recalling Zhou Hao's looking at him, gradually cooled down.

Ye Xiao looked at the several people and said, "You guys do what you need to do. I'm heading to Han Xuewei's place."

Ling Shuya immediately said, "I'll come with you. After all, I'm close to the Yellow Rank Middle Stage now!"

Ye Xiao immediately smiled, patted Ling Shuya on the hand, and said with a smile, "Still don't trust your man's ability? Those clowns are nothing in my eyes. If I want, taking off his head would be like reaching into a bag!"

After saying that, Ye Xiao immediately stood up and turned to Zhou Hao, "You know what to do!"

Zhou Hao also immediately stood up and said, "Boss, don't worry, I've got this!"

Ye Xiao smiled, patted Zhou Hao on the shoulder, and then strode out of the villa. At this point, everyone present watched as Ye Xiao left.
