Everyone who saw Ye Xiao emerge, along with that girl running by his side, had their faces and eyes expressing disbelief!

Originally, everyone thought Ye Xiao was done for. After all, those people were societal elements, each of them was tough, far from being comparable to ordinary students like them. However...

"How... how could this happen?" Chen Ming's face turned green, then he immediately looked at Zhang Liang!

Zhang Liang had just confidently said that Ye Xiao would certainly be finished, but now, Ye Xiao wasn't finished. Considering what Ye Xiao did in retaliation to Guo Hui, all of them felt a chill in their hearts!

Ye Xiao stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the people in front of him. Song Jiaqian was clinging to Ye Xiao's chest, truly frightened. Now, seeing someone blocking their way again, Song Jiaqian trembled even more!

Ye Xiao could feel Song Jiaqian's trembling, and that kind of fear was the most uncomfortable!

At that moment, Ye Xiao truly felt ashamed. If it weren't for him today, Song Jiaqian wouldn't have encountered such a terrifying situation!

Ye Xiao looked up at Chen Ming and Han Fei, and a deep, powerful voice came from his mouth, striking their souls fiercely.

"Scram!" Ye Xiao said just that one word. If it had been before, both Han Fei and Chen Ming would have defied him, at least verbally, but this time, both Han Fei and Chen Ming remained silent and stepped aside to make way for Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao, holding Song Jiaqian, walked forward slowly. When he came beside Han Fei and Chen Ming, Ye Xiao looked ahead and murmured, "Use whatever tricks you have!"

Ye Xiao was truly furious. Perhaps, if it were him alone trapped in the alley, he wouldn't have been so angry, but now, seeing Song Jiaqian scared to this extent was absolutely unforgivable!

After Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian left, Chen Ming and Han Fei looked at each other in silence. Clearly, they had to reassess Ye Xiao's abilities!

"Who exactly is this Ye Xiao, and how can he be so formidable? Zhang Liang, couldn't your cousin have gone easy on him?" Liuu Xinlei looked at Zhang Liang with some incomprehension!

Zhang Liang said, "He shouldn't have, oh, right, just now there was blood on Ye Xiao's body, could it be... oh no!"

As he spoke, Zhang Liang ran straight into the alley, and Chen Ming and Han Fei also seemed to have thought of something and followed into the alley!

However, when they ran to the deepest part of the alley and saw the bodies strewn across the ground and the ghostly wailing, they fell silent!

After Ye Xiao left holding Song Jiaqian, he went straight to Yummy Restaurant. The owner of Yummy Restaurant had wanted to chase after them, as the two hadn't paid the bill yet. However, more than a dozen men went after Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian, which scared the owner too, so naturally, he didn't dare to demand payment. But as he was calculating how much he had lost on the meal, the door to the restaurant was pushed open!

The ones entering were Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian!

At that moment, the people dining at Yummy Restaurant had witnessed the earlier scene, and now that Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian had returned, everyone turned to look at them, obviously surprised that they had come back.

You have to know that just now, there were more than twenty men chasing after him with knives. Many thought that Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian were possibly in danger, to the extent that some people even made emergency calls!

The owner saw Ye Xiao return and hurried over to ask carefully, "Are you two okay?"

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "We're fine. We left our bag behind, and we haven't paid the bill yet!"

Pay the bill?

The people doing business around Minghai Academy were all shrewd. The fact that Ye Xiao managed to escape from those hounding men made the owner realize that Ye Xiao was no ordinary person!

"Young man, you're slapping my face saying that," the owner said with a smile. "Please, have a seat and rest. As for the meal, consider it on me as a way to calm your nerves!"

Ye Xiao said, "How can we accept that? You're running a business; you can't take a loss like that. We'll be back to eat here again!"

The owner immediately said, "It's just one meal; it doesn't matter. Consider it me making a friend!"

Ye Xiao replied, "Alright, we'll include it next time. I'm studying at Minghai Academy, my name is Ye Xiao. There are some matters today, so I can't chat with you more, big brother!"

"Brother Ye, I wanted to offer you a cup of tea. Well, since Brother Ye is busy, we'll do it another time!"

Ye Xiao nodded. At that moment, the owner turned to a server and said, "Bring the lady's handbag over!"

The server hurriedly fetched Song Jiaqian's handbag and handed it to Ye Xiao. After saying a few courteous words, Ye Xiao left Yummy Restaurant directly!

"Boss, you're just letting him go? That's over two hundred yuan!" The server watched Ye Xiao leave the restaurant and immediately said to the owner!

"Are you stupid? He dared to tell us his class and name. Are you worried about that little bit of money? When you have time, check out who this Ye Xiao is!"

...

Ye Xiao hailed a taxi outside and promptly helped Song Jiaqian into the car.

"Where to?" the driver asked Ye Xiao.

It was only then that Ye Xiao remembered he had no idea where Song Jiaqian's house was, so he turned to her and said, "Jiaqian, where's your home? I'll take you back, and you don't have to go back to work at the hospital today!"

Song Jiaqian's consciousness had cleared up a bit, and she looked at Ye Xiao saying, "I should just go to the hospital. I'm still on my internship, and I don't want to take time off."

"But you're in no shape to work," said Ye Xiao, "I'm really worried about you. Plus, as a nurse, if you get distracted by something you shouldn't be thinking about on the job, that wouldn't be responsible towards the patients."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Song Jiaqian felt that maybe he had a point. After giving it some thought, she said, "Alright, take me to the Minghai City officials' residence."

Officials' residence?

Ye Xiao, hearing Song Jiaqian's words, suddenly felt a bit puzzled. Just who was Song Jiaqian? Her home was in the officials' residence—could it be that her father was an official? And perhaps not a minor one at that?

Though Ye Xiao had these thoughts internally, he didn't show any reaction on the surface but instead told the driver, "To the officials' residence."

The car quickly left the vicinity of Minghai Academy. Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian did not speak the entire way, until right before getting out of the car, Song Jiaqian turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Be careful on your way back, there's something I'm not sure whether I should tell you!"

"What's up?" asked Ye Xiao with a smile, "Just say it!"

"I want to tell my sister about what happened," said Song Jiaqian.

"Don't tell her," Ye Xiao said, "If you do, we might not be able to be friends anymore. She'll definitely have an even worse impression of me. Oh right, give me your cell phone number, and your phone—I won't return it. Even if I did, you probably wouldn't want it back!"

Song Jiaqian replied, "Just give me your number; that's fine. Call me directly on my cell phone, my number is 138********. Keep the phone. I gave it to you. My sister is actually a nice person; it's just that she was like that because of that incident. Don't hold it against her!"

Ye Xiao chuckled, "I won't. Go home and rest well; definitely don't go to work today. Your mood won't improve that way. Stay home, listen to some music, watch a movie—when your mood is better, tomorrow will be another beautiful day!"

"Thank you," suddenly said Song Jiaqian!

"It's nothing," said Ye Xiao, "Well, I should head back to school. I didn't even ask for leave when I went out to lunch with you today, so I need to talk to my headteacher about that!"

Song Jiaqian nodded, then gestured with her fingers to the spots of blood on Ye Xiao's shirt. Although the school uniform was sky blue, making the bloodstains not too visible, at first glance, they seemed dirty.

"It's okay," Ye Xiao said, "I'll just change my clothes when I get back. Let's keep in touch if anything comes up!"

"Sure, bye!" said Song Jiaqian.

"Bye!" Ye Xiao replied.

Afterward, Ye Xiao left the residential building of Minghai City. The driver, after having gone some distance, suddenly chuckled and said, "Young man, you're lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend, and she even lives in Minghai City's number one residential building!"

Ye Xiao had wanted to explain, but knowing it would only make matters worse, he simply laughed and replied, "What's special about Minghai City's number one residential building?"

"You really don't know, or are you just pretending?" the driver laughed, "I've heard that some of the top officials in our city live in Minghai City's number one residential building. Moreover, I've heard the top boss of Minghai City lives there too!"

"The top boss of Minghai?" Ye Xiao quickly asked, "Which top boss of Minghai?"

"Young man, you must be joking not to know about the clean-handed top boss of Minghai City, Song Jianping!" said the driver.

Song Jianping?

Ye Xiao had not heard this name before, mainly because he just arrived in Minghai City not long ago. He wouldn't have looked into who the leaders of Minghai City were since he had no plans to go offering gifts or anything, but now that he knew the top boss of Minghai City bore the surname Song, and Song Jiaqian's home was in Minghai City's number one residential building; moreover, considering the sisters' odd expressions at the dining table, all of this indicated that the Song sisters might have a connection to Song Jianping.

At the dinner table, Song Jiaqian had shown disdain for Han Zhimin, and in all of Minghai, perhaps the only one who could afford to disregard Han Zhimin was the top boss, Song Jianping himself.

Could it be that the Song sisters' father was indeed Song Jianping?

Ye Xiao suspected this but dared not confirm it.

On his way back to Minghai Academy, Ye Xiao received an urgent call from Zhao Dapeng. Zhao Dapeng was very anxious because, right after he finished eating and was back near Minghai Academy, he heard that Feng Chong had brought people to hunt down a man and a woman. From others' descriptions, Zhao Dapeng confirmed immediately that one of those two people was none other than Brother Xiao, so he called Ye Xiao without hesitation!
