Ye Xiao drove the Q-Rui away from the Sunshine Garden community because the exams had just ended, and since Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, there were no classes for the next few days!

Therefore, there was no rush for Ling Shuya and her friends if they wanted to go to school. Besides, with Zhou Hao and Shen Qiuyu around, Ye Xiao felt quite at ease!

Ye Xiao had a vivid memory of Han Xuewei's home and, given that it was just past seven in the morning and the streets were not too crowded, he swiftly made his way to Qianyuan District!

When he reached the entrance, the security guard immediately stopped him.

"Non-resident vehicles are not allowed to enter!" The guard was polite but firm in his stance, not permitting entry.

However, before Ye Xiao could respond, a young man came over and asked, "Are you Mr. Ye?"

Ye Xiao looked at the young man he didn't recognize and said, "I'm Ye Xiao!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's name, the man immediately said, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Shi sent me here to wait for you."

With the mention of "Mr. Shi," Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "I can't get in now!"

The young man immediately told the security guard, "Open the gate!"

To his surprise, the security guard obediently opened the gate upon hearing the young man's instruction!

Ye Xiao glanced at the security guard and thought to himself that it seemed the property management of this complex had been taken over by the Black Dragon Company.

Then, Ye Xiao drove into Qianyuan District and went to Han Xuewei's home with the young man!

The last visit to Han Xuewei's home had been three days ago; he had come for tutoring from Lin Dieying, but through a series of misunderstandings, he ended up romantically involved with Han Xuewei!

It hadn't been a long time, but a lot had happened over those three days, particularly the day before yesterday, when Han Xuewei's father was killed by Huang Zongyuan. What was more unacceptable was that Huang Zongyuan had gunned down Han Jianjun right in front of Han Xuewei!

Upon arriving at Han Xuewei's doorway and knocking, the door opened!

Although Han Xuewei's home was spacious, there were quite a few people inside, about twenty or so, all wearing black sunglasses as if in a movie. Four people were sitting on the couch: Han Xuewei, Lin Dieying, Li Yinge, and a man in his forties with a deep scar on his face!

At that moment, the three women were shocked to see Ye Xiao's arrival.

Especially Han Xuewei, who looked at Ye Xiao in astonishment and said, "Ye Xiao, you fool, who told you to come here!"

Worry was etched on Han Xuewei's face. Ye Xiao was their only hope, so naturally, his solitary arrival was a major concern!

Ye Xiao gave a slight smile and said, "There is someone very important to me here; why wouldn't I come? Besides, if I didn't show up, I would regret it for the rest of my life!"

Han Xuewei and Lin Dieying exchanged glances, both turning their attention to Ye Xiao, their faces full of surprise.

"Well said, Brother Ye truly is a man of affection and loyalty; I admire that!" The man with the scar laughed heartily as he looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled at the scar-faced man and said, "I presume this is Boss Shi from the Black Dragon Company?"

Shi Qiang, quite pleased with Ye Xiao's humble politeness, smiled and said to him, "Since you're here, don't be shy, take a seat and let's talk!"

Shi Qiang didn't hold back at all, acting as if it was his own home!

Ye Xiao did not hesitate either and quickly sat down on a single-seater sofa, then looked up at Shi Qiang and said, "Mr. Shi, you've really gone to a lot of trouble to have me here!"

Shi Qiang chuckled and said, "Of course, Brother Ye is no ordinary man. So, naturally, inviting you over requires a special approach. As you can see, we haven't laid a finger on these three women, although my men are quite eager. Still, I've ordered them not to touch them, as after all, they are your women!"

Shi Qiang's words were polite, but they clearly carried an undertone of teasing the three women.

Ye Xiao could not fail to pick up on this, he chuckled and said, "Then I really must thank Mr. Shi. Of course, I'm also grateful that you ordered your men not to act rashly. Otherwise, they would have paid a price beyond their wildest imagination!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Shi Qiang's expression turned cold in an instant, and the Black Dragon Company's henchmen, glaring at Ye Xiao, began reaching for their waists!

But none of this seemed to concern Ye Xiao in the slightest!

Ye Xiao's air of aloof supremacy slightly surprised Shi Qiang. As a helper of Black Dragon Company, Shi Qiang had seen many people and dealt with numerous affairs. Although Black Dragon Company was the Mountain Wolf Group's representative in Minghai City, the fact that Shi Qiang had risen to the boss's position in Black Dragon Company sufficed to show that he was no ordinary man!

So, despite Ye Xiao's unfriendly words, Shi Qiang's expression changed only subtly before a smile returned to his face!

"Let's skip all the nonsense and talk about something beneficial to both of us!" Shi Qiang said with a laugh. "Brother Ye, Huang Zongyuan is my sworn brother, we share deep bonds. In short, I want him to return safely!"

Hearing Shi Qiang's words, Ye Xiao chuckled softly and said, "Boss Shi, you really think too highly of me. I, Ye Xiao, am just an insignificantly small figure. Are you really that sure I can fish out Huang Zongyuan for you? Moreover, even if I could and, granted, had the ability, don't forget, Huang Zongyuan killed her father!" Ye Xiao pointed at Han Xuewei as he spoke, continuing, "Boss Shi, I risked my life coming here alone, surely you understand how much President Han means to me. The hatred for one's father's murder is irreconcilable. How do you expect me to help you?"

"Ye Xiao, don't be too excessive, our boss has never spoken to anyone like this before!" At this point, one of the Black Dragon Company's underlings, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately spoke out in anger at Ye Xiao!

Shi Qiang, however, immediately said, "What are you talking about? Brother Ye didn't say he wouldn't do it!"

Ye Xiao glanced at the man who had spoken, then at Shi Qiang, who had a cold smirk on his face, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Ye Xiao's laughter made everyone pause, including Han Xuewei, Lin Dieying, and Li Yinge!

"Right, right, Mr. Shi really gets it. I indeed never said I definitely wouldn't do it, but you also know that if I pull some strings and actually manage to keep Huang Zongyuan from dying, I might lose the heart of a woman, and that would be..." Ye Xiao said with a somewhat greedy smile on his face!

Shi Qiang feared nothing more than a Ye Xiao with no desires. Without desires, he couldn't be tempted, and even with Shi Qiang's powerful abilities, he couldn't persuade Ye Xiao!

But now, Ye Xiao's expression told Shi Qiang that the man was quite greedy!

Shi Qiang immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I'll give you money. Name your price!"

Ye Xiao didn't name his price right away but, pointing at Lin Dieying, said, "Boss Shi, do you recognize this girl?"

Shi Qiang glanced at Lin Dieying, shook his head, and said, "How would I know her?"

"She is the daughter of Lin Yaoguang!" said Ye Xiao.

Originally, when Ye Xiao said that he hadn't "definitely refused to do it," Han Xuewei, Lin Dieying, and Li Yinge were shocked beyond belief. How could the Ye Xiao they saw as a savior, at such a critical moment, think to agree to Shi Qiang's demand? Was this the Ye Xiao they knew? But now, as Ye Xiao revealed Lin Dieying's identity to Shi Qiang, the three women were utterly stunned.

After hearing Ye Xiao's words, Shi Qiang was instantly taken aback, immediately looked at Lin Dieying, and said, "So she's Lin Yaoguang's daughter. But, what's your point in telling me this?"

Shi Qiang was no fool. Ye Xiao bringing up Lin Dieying's identity at this moment definitely meant something else!

"If I'm very likely to lose Han Xuewei's heart, then I must gain Lin Dieying's heart. If helping Boss Shi means I end up gaining nothing, that would be a terrible loss for me. Hence, I hope Huang Zongyuan will spit out the company he took from Lin Yaoguang and return it to Lin Dieying. In exchange for Huang Zongyuan's life, I don't think that's too much to ask for," Ye Xiao said with a slight smile, looking at Shi Qiang!

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Shi Qiang's face shifted colors, and he frowned at Ye Xiao, saying, "Brother Ye, that's quite a harsh condition."

At that moment, Lin Dieying glared angrily at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, I don't want the company, you've disappointed me too much. Our lives and deaths have nothing to do with you!"

Upon hearing Lin Dieying's words, Ye Xiao immediately sneered and then looked at Shi Qiang, saying, "Boss Shi, you see? If I help you, I stand to lose too much. Let's forget about this deal for now."

Shi Qiang was also hesitant at this time. Although the company had been nearly run aground by Huang Zongyuan, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and the company was still worth at least twelve million or so. Was he really prepared to pay such a steep price?

"If Boss Shi thinks it's a pity, then there's nothing I can do!" said Ye Xiao. "It seems Huang Zongyuan's days are numbered then!"

Shi Qiang, after much thought, finally decided that people were more important than money!

As the boss of Black Dragon Company, dealing in drugs, gambling, and crime, he never lacked money, and his wealth accumulated rapidly.

"Alright, I agree to your terms, the company is yours!" Shi Qiang, after much hesitance, finally acquiesced to Ye Xiao!

Hearing Shi Qiang's words, Ye Xiao immediately laughed out loud, saying, "Once the transfer of the company is successful, then the man will be released!"

"That's not acceptable!" Shi Qiang, who always engaged in sure-win deals, felt that Ye Xiao's proposal was a bit unreliable!

But!

"It's up to me whether it's acceptable or not!" Ye Xiao's face revealed a smile.

Shi Qiang looked at Ye Xiao, anger flashing across his face, but the irritation quickly faded.

"Fine, we'll do it your way!" Shi Qiang finally compromised.
