To the average person, the Heart Cleansing Pill might be worthless, but to Martial Artists, it was nothing short of a miraculous medicine, especially for the young scions of elite families. Many of them were of mediocre talent, but if they were to use the Heart Cleansing Pill, they could almost instantly become Martial Artists of outstanding giftedness, the so-called Martial Arts geniuses in legends.

Of course, there were different levels of genius, so a natural-born talent was still more precious than one created by medicine.

Therefore, Ye Xiao believed that as soon as he put the Heart Cleansing Pill out on some underground market, he would make money much faster than he did from car racing today.

"You're quite straightforward. It seems you will continue buying these materials, but you don't look like there's anything wrong with you." Lan Lan said this, lowers her head to glance at Ye Xiao. These materials were all very nourishing, and she suspected that the reason Ye Xiao was buying them might have something to do with his health...

Seeing the look in Lan Lan's eyes and her expression, Ye Xiao immediately cracked a smile and said, "Stop looking. Strong and full of youthful vigor, hitting the target a hundred steps away, that's me. Don't think too much."

Lan Lan's face reddened slightly, and she quickly said, "I'm not thinking anything."

That afternoon, Ye Xiao spent a long time with Lan Lan in the bustling market. At some bank, he really did transfer five million to her so that she could help him purchase materials.

Ye Xiao repeatedly stressed to Lan Lan how important these materials were.

Around five in the afternoon, Ye Xiao and Lan Lan drove back to the entrance of Minghai Academy in the Q Rui.

Just as Ye Xiao and Lan Lan were about to enter, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Picking it up, Ye Xiao saw it was from no other than Han Xuewei.

Seeing Han Xuewei's number, Ye Xiao answered, smilingly saying to her, "Miss Han, why are you suddenly thinking of me?"

"Who's thinking of you? I'm calling you for a serious matter," Han Xuewei's tone was still somewhat cold.

Just by listening to Han Xuewei's voice, Ye Xiao immediately sensed that she might indeed need him for something urgent.

"What's the matter? Tell me. Climbing mountains of swords and plunging into seas of fire, I won't shirk," Ye Xiao chuckled as he spoke.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Lan Lan, standing beside him, was extremely puzzled. Who was this person, and why was Ye Xiao talking to her in such a slick manner?

In fact, even if Ye Xiao had spoken to Han Xuewei in a very formal way, Lan Lan would still have felt something was off. When a woman falls for a man, even if that man offers a polite smile to another woman, she would still become jealous.

A strong sense of possession is innate in humans.

On the phone, Han Xuewei was not in the mood to joke with Ye Xiao, and she seriously said, "I'm not joking. All day today, there have been some strangers lingering around our company, and I suspect they might be Huang Zongyuan's men."

"Do you have any proof?" Ye Xiao's playful expression faded and he inquired.

Han Xuewei replied, "No proof, just my judgment."

"Alright, I believe you. Do you want me to come over, or shall I send a handsome guy over?" Ye Xiao said, "The handsome guy might not fight as well as me, though, of course, I'm also a handsome guy."

Han Xuewei immediately felt speechless, but she really did need Ye Xiao's help at that moment.

"I have a gut feeling that something might happen today," Han Xuewei said.

Ye Xiao had already heard from Huang Zongyuan and his subordinates during yesterday's hotpot dinner that they were looking for trouble with Han Jianjun, and naturally, as Han Jianjun's daughter, Han Xuewei was also on their hit list.

Ye Xiao was actually somewhat impressed by Han Xuewei's vigilance.

Grinning, Ye Xiao reassured Han Xuewei, "Just go about your business, I guarantee that you and your father won't suffer any harm."

"You're not preparing to come over?" Han Xuewei asked.

"Heh, perhaps when you're in danger, I'll descend from the skies, but you have to think of me first thing when you're in danger, or else it won't work," Ye Xiao said with a laugh.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Han Xuewei felt thoroughly bewildered, what a nonsensical theory that was.

...

After hanging up, Ye Xiao saw Lan Lan still staring at him, and quite intently at that.

"What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Xiao asked Lan Lan, puzzled.

Lan Lan said, "Nothing. I'm just wondering how someone can be so self-obsessed."

Hearing her comment, Ye Xiao laughed and said, "That's not self-obsession, but self-confidence."

Lan Lan asked, "Are you going out?"

Ye Xiao replied, "Seems like it. Why, are you planning to come along?"

"Can I?" Lan Lan gave Ye Xiao a hopeful look.

Ye Xiao actually meant to say no, but seeing Lan Lan's expression, the words he was about to say got swallowed down.

"Of course, you can," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Lan Lan gave a mysterious smile, then turned and walked toward the school, leaving Ye Xiao instantly puzzled. What was with this girl?

Lan Lan, without turning back, said, "I'm not one of those girls who clings and never lets go. You go ahead and do what you need to."

After saying that, Lan Lan walked away without another word.

Ye Xiao didn't say anything. Suddenly, he felt that Lan Lan wasn't as clingy as he had imagined.

Then, Ye Xiao picked up his phone and called Zhao Dapeng.

Soon, Zhao Dapeng answered the phone.

"Brother Xiao," Zhao Dapeng said with a laugh as soon as he got the call.

Ye Xiao spoke up, "I've got something I want to talk to you about. Where are you?"

Zhao Dapeng, feeling that it must be something important, quickly said, "Brother Xiao, I'm at the Blue-tailed Fox Bar. Where are you? I'll come to you."

Ye Xiao said, "No need, just wait for me at the Blue-tailed Fox Bar."

Afterwards, Ye Xiao headed straight to the Blue-tailed Fox Bar.

The Blue-tailed Fox Bar had changed. It used to be just an ordinary bar, but now it had become the headquarters of the Heavenly Gate Security Company. The business might not be as good as before, but day or night, the place was crowded with the brothers from the Heavenly Gate Security Company.

Just as Ye Xiao was about to enter the Blue-tailed Fox, he was stopped by a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties.

The young man sized up Ye Xiao and said coldly, "What do you want? You think this is a place anyone can just stroll into?"

Ye Xiao, somewhat unfamiliar with this young man, found that in the past few days Heavenly Gate Security Company had expanded rapidly, and the number of its members had increased quickly, so there were many people Ye Xiao didn't recognize, and naturally they didn't recognize him either.

Indeed, in the two days that the Heavenly Gate Security Company had expanded, Ye Xiao hadn't been to the Blue-tailed Fox Bar, so it was no surprise someone didn't recognize him.

"I'm looking for Zhao Dapeng." Ye Xiao usually kept a low profile and didn't like to throw his weight around. He spoke in a very tactful way.

Although Ye Xiao was tactful, the young man felt annoyed upon hearing the name. Zhao Dapeng—who was that? He was the boss of the Heavenly Gate Security Company. Could his name just be casually mentioned by anyone?

"F*ck, kid, are you tired of living?" The young man yelled at Ye Xiao, "I'll show you today what happens to those who mess around on the turf of Heavenly Gate Security Company."

The young man lunged forward and threw a punch straight at Ye Xiao's face. The punch was quite fast, but who was Ye Xiao? If a random person could knock him to the ground that easily, he wouldn't be Ye Xiao.

While the young man had intended to hit hard, Ye Xiao dodged his attack with a simple wobble back and forth.

Just then, a delicate voice was heard from the side.

"Stop fighting, can't we talk this out nicely?" The voice was that of a young girl.

Upon hearing the voice, the young man immediately stopped his attack and turned to the girl, saying respectfully, "Miss Zhao, this guy is here looking for trouble."

Ye Xiao then looked over at the so-called Miss Zhao—an immature young girl with a delicate face, around sixteen years old, with a youthful innocence that without a doubt would one day break hearts.

Miss Zhao looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "What do you want?"

Ye Xiao, with a grin, replied to Miss Zhao, "I'm here to see someone."

"Who are you looking for?" asked Miss Zhao.

"Zhao Dapeng."

Upon hearing the name Zhao Dapeng, she immediately asked, "Are you looking for my brother?"

"Zhao Dapeng is your brother?" Upon hearing the girl's words, Ye Xiao quickly guessed her identity. Wasn't she Zhao Dapeng's sister? Ye Xiao had only heard about her and never expected Zhao Dapeng to have such a beautiful sister.

At that moment, due to the disturbance outside, about a dozen members of Heavenly Gate Security Company immediately came running out. They intended to see who dared to cause trouble at their headquarters. However, when they saw Zhao Xiaoxiao, they immediately greeted her.

Right then, one of the Heavenly Gate Security Company members noticed Ye Xiao and said, "Hello, Brother Xiao."

This greeting 'Hello, Brother Xiao' left those nearby stunned.

Who was Brother Xiao?

Due to the rapid expansion of Heavenly Gate Security Company, people only knew of the boss Zhao Dapeng, and they didn't know that above Zhao Dapeng, there was Ye Xiao. Only a very few members of the Heavenly Gate Security Company knew of Ye Xiao's existence and his influence.

Seeing everyone's confused faces, the member hurriedly explained, "You fools, this is Brother Xiao, the boss of Brother Peng, Brother Feng, Brother Wang, and Brother Zhou."

The boss of the boss?

With a mixture of surprise and nervousness in his voice, they started to grasp who this person before them was.

Meanwhile, several people came out of the Blue-tailed Fox Bar, led by Zhao Dapeng and closely followed by Huang Feng, Wang Qing, and Zhang Biao.

These were King-level figures at Heavenly Gate Security Company and core members of the organization.

And now, as the four of them appeared together, it left their subordinates in awe. To their knowledge, these bosses approached Ye Xiao with cheerful smiles, respectfully bowed to him, and crisply greeted him, "Brother Xiao."
