This whole afternoon, Ye Xiao had been at the hospital helping Die Ying take care of her mother. Previously, Die Ying had thought of Ye Xiao as someone who only knew how to have fun, but during this afternoon, she was surprisingly impressed by Ye Xiao's caretaking ability. A lot of medical knowledge that the nurses hadn't explained to Die Ying, Ye Xiao recounted thoroughly and accurately!

This made Die Ying have the illusion that Ye Xiao might be a natural genius with a gift for medicine. However, upon second thought, it seemed Ye Xiao had a good understanding of many areas. Could it be that Ye Xiao was an all-around genius?

It was almost five in the afternoon when Ye Xiao finally left the hospital after receiving a phone call!

"Do you really plan to start today?" As Ye Xiao spoke these words to the person on the phone, he walked out of the hospital.

"Yes, I've decided. I'm waiting for you right now at the bureau's entrance, I hope you can come quickly!" The sharp voice of Song Jiamin came through the phone, utterly irresistible.

Ye Xiao's face was full of bitterness. Why did Song Jiamin always come up with something unexpected, and why didn't she call earlier? He had plans tonight!

"I mean..." Ye Xiao was about to speak, but Song Jiamin had already hung up the phone!

Ye Xiao couldn't help but wryly smile. What on earth did this girl want to do?

Although it was to save Song Jiamin that Ye Xiao had ended up in bed with her the previous night, the fact remained that they had still slept together, and advantageously it was Ye Xiao. Thus, he felt somewhat ashamed!

Seeing that Song Jiamin had hung up, Ye Xiao immediately put away his phone and quickly got to where his Q-Rui car was parked, started it up, and headed directly to the Minghai City Guard Bureau!

At this moment, inside an office at the Guard Bureau!

"Hmph, Ye Xiao, since you have taken such advantage of me, I must learn all your exceptional skills and then kill you!" Hatred filled Song Jiamin's face. Her feelings toward Ye Xiao were now filled with sheer loathing. She truly harbored thoughts of killing him—for any girl, regardless of being traditional or liberal, chastity was of great importance!

In fact, Song Jiamin was well aware that she had truly fallen for Feng Yongnian's scheme yesterday, and she had even been drugged by him. Had it not been for Ye Xiao, she might well have been dead now. Yet, Song Jiamin couldn't get over it—she would rather be a shattered piece of jade than an unspoiled brick!

Just then, Song Jiamin's door was pushed open, and a young man in a police uniform entered. Seeing the unusual expression on Song Jiamin's face, he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Jiamin, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

When Song Jiamin saw Yang Ming come in, her face immediately reverted to its usual expression, and she forced a smile. "I'm fine, what's up? Do you need me for something?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's good that you're okay. Today is Saturday, and there's not much to do, so let's take off early. How about we go have a meal? I know a new restaurant that serves really good dishes!"

"A meal?" Song Jiamin was slightly startled upon hearing Yang Ming's words. Then she inwardly cursed the timing—in that moment, she had just asked Ye Xiao to pick her up, how could she go out with Yang Ming now? She didn't have the ability to be in two places at once. That's right, Ye Xiao had violated her last night; today, she would have Yang Ming teach him a lesson!

"That would be nice, but I just got a call from someone who also wants to have dinner with me. It's quite a dilemma!" Song Jiamin feigned difficulty.

Yang Ming immediately looked puzzled but still said with a smile, "Jiamin, do you have a boyfriend? I don't recall you mentioning you had one!"

"What boyfriend? It's just that person keeps pestering me, and he's even younger than me. As an older sister, I couldn't just reject him outright. It's so annoying!" Song Jiamin expressed her displeasure.

Upon hearing Song Jiamin's words, Yang Ming immediately said righteously, "How can there be such a person? To pester you shamelessly—tell me who it is. We're not only colleagues but also friends, and what's more, we are police officers. How can we tolerate this kind of behavior? Both publicly and privately, I have to teach this person a lesson for you!"

Song Jiamin said, "You still remember Ye Xiao, who was brought to our bureau last time, right? It's that person. Because he knows my sister and might even be a friend of hers, I'm really in a tough spot. Captain, what should I do?"

If it had been anyone else, Yang Ming would have promised to teach him a lesson without hesitation—it was an opportunity to show off to a beautiful woman. But this person was Ye Xiao, and there lay the problem!

Even someone as impressive as Han Zhimin couldn't handle Ye Xiao; what could he, a mere leader of the Criminal Police Team, do to Ye Xiao?

Yang Ming suddenly felt rather embarrassed.

Seeing hesitancy on Yang Ming's face, Song Jiamin promptly said, "I knew you probably wouldn't be able to handle him. Forget it, he's such a nuisance!"

"Jiamin, I…" Yang Ming wanted to explain, but Song Jiamin had already stood up, ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" asked Yang Ming.

"He said he's waiting at the bureau's entrance, so I'm going out to meet him there."

Yang Ming watched Song Jiamin for a moment. He was crystal clear about her background. The reason he had been persistent in pursuing Song Jiamin was precisely because of her family's extraordinary status. It could be said that if he ended up together with Song Jiamin, the position of the Guard Bureau chief could potentially be within his reach!

"Jiamin, wait a moment!" Yang Ming suddenly stepped forward and said.

Song Jiamin turned to look at Yang Ming and said, "Captain, is there something you need?"

Yang Ming said, "Jiamin, you should understand my feelings. I don't want others to have designs on you!"

If this had been before, Song Jiamin would certainly have called Yang Ming boring and left the office directly. But today, Song Jiamin just chuckled and said to Yang Ming, "Captain, you're not kidding, right? How come you never told me about this!"

Yang Ming said, "I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I was afraid you wouldn't be into me. Now I feel like I can't keep it to myself anymore. Jiamin, I really like you a lot!"

As Yang Ming spoke, he took a step forward and grabbed Song Jiamin's hand!

Song Jiamin frowned in disgust. Normally, she would have slapped Yang Ming outright!

"Captain, this is the office!" Song Jiamin deliberately lowered her head. She felt a bit despicable now, but to get revenge on Ye Xiao, she felt she had no other choice!

Yang Ming quickly let go of her hand and said, "Jiamin, I'm sorry, I was too excited. I never want to let you go in this lifetime!"

Song Jiamin was no fool; in fact, she was a very smart girl. She knew very well what kind of person Yang Ming was. He was far from the standards she would consider for a boyfriend. More importantly, she had issues with Yang Ming's character. So, when he professed his feelings, Song Jiamin felt nothing but revulsion.

However, Song Jiamin was still thinking about using Yang Ming to teach Ye Xiao a lesson. So, she said, "I understand your intentions now, but all these matters need to come to an end eventually, right? Otherwise, how can we start anew?"

Song Jiamin's response was ambiguous, leaving Yang Ming to believe that there might be a chance for him!

"Jiamin, I'll remember what you said. I promise, I won't let anyone harass you!" Yang Ming said earnestly to Song Jiamin.

"Really?" Song Jiamin said with a girlish tone for the first time to Yang Ming!

Yang Ming's usual shrewdness was entirely dissipated in that moment. He immediately assured Song Jiamin, "Of course it's true. When Yang Ming says something, it's like water thrown out—there's no taking it back!"

Song Jiamin nodded and then said, "Alright then, come down with me!"

This time, Yang Ming had no hesitation and followed Song Jiamin out of the office!

At the entrance of the Guard Bureau!

Ye Xiao cruised up to the vicinity of the Guard Bureau, parking his car at a suitable spot. However, when he got out of the car, he noticed Song Jiamin and Yang Ming chatting at the entrance of the Guard Bureau!

Upon Ye Xiao's arrival, although Yang Ming and Song Jiamin were mid-conversation, they both glanced over at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao thought to himself, how is Yang Ming here again? He's like a fly that won't go away!

He walked briskly toward Ye Xiao and soon reached the entrance of the Guard Bureau!

"Song Jiamin, let's go!" Ye Xiao acted as if Yang Ming didn't exist.

Seeing this, Yang Ming's expression darkened immediately. Noticing Song Jiamin's displeased look, he knew it was time to speak up. Even though this Ye Xiao seemed influential, Yang Ming knew that if he could win over Song Jiamin, he'd be set for life. Even with Hengyu Group's backing, Yang Ming still felt he could take on Ye Xiao as he pleased!

"Ye Xiao, can you not harass the police? Don't you realize how shameful your behavior is?" Yang Ming said angrily to Ye Xiao, pointing fingers!

Yang Ming's words stunned Ye Xiao, who gave him a puzzled look. It didn't matter what Yang Ming had said before; all Ye Xiao knew was that Yang Ming had insulted him!

"Officer Yang, although you're a policeman, I think you should be aware that you shouldn't say such things. Apologize now, and I can let bygones be bygones," Ye Xiao said with an air of willingness to forgive.

This only irritated Yang Ming more, especially in front of Song Jiamin—and he felt even more humiliated!

Yang Ming shouted at Song Jiamin, "What joke? Let me tell you clearly, if you dare to harass Officer Song again, I will teach you a lesson you won't be able to handle!"

'Smack!'

A crisp sound rang out as Yang Ming's face was suddenly marked with a distinct set of five finger marks, the result of a slap from Ye Xiao that came without warning!
