Whoo!

The man's fist, like a hammer accompanied by a gust of wind, was hurled towards Ye Xiao's face. The force behind the punch was truly formidable, but just as it was about to reach Ye Xiao's face, suddenly, with an incredibly swift move, Ye Xiao caught the man's fist in his hand. Despite the powerful momentum, the fist was brought to a startling halt!

What?

At that moment, the man couldn't believe his eyes. His fierce punch had been seized by the slender young man before him, and now, held in the young man's grasp, his fist couldn't move an inch!

Ye Xiao sneered coldly and then pushed gently. The man sent by Zhu Xiaoren to teach Ye Xiao a lesson was pushed back several steps before he managed to steady himself!

Ye Xiao looked at the man with a smile and said, "Brother, we have no grievances nor grudges. Why are you trying to hit me?"

"To earn money by solving other people's problems!" The man was straightforward, with a cold, expressionless face. He then took steps towards Ye Xiao once again!

Ye Xiao smiled faintly. In order not to disturb Ling Shuya and the other ladies seated by the sofa, he immediately walked outside the couch area, and the man followed suit!

"If it were about the money paid, he certainly wouldn't have sought you out. By choosing you, he only embarrassed himself further because you simply can't beat me," Ye Xiao quipped disdainfully.

Hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed the man's face, but it was a chill!

"Don't be so arrogant!" The man quickly strode towards Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao stood still, motionless, as if waiting for the man to approach. In fact, that was exactly what he was doing. But as the man came close, with a flurry of fists and kicks aimed at Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao's figure shifted instantly, moving right in front of the man. His punch landed squarely on the man, sending him flying and crashing heavily onto the ground, a trickle of red liquid spilling from his mouth—not a lot, but it was enough to show he was seriously injured!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao had brought down the man Zhu Xiaoren had hired, which was truly beyond Zhu Xiaoren's expectations. He looked at Ye Xiao, unable to believe it, obviously wondering how such a frail body could harbor such immense strength.

Ye Xiao then turned to Zhu Xiaoren and said, "Brother Pig, do you know what the funniest thing in this world is?"

Zhu Xiaoren looked at Ye Xiao with confusion and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"A dog biting a man isn't strange, but a man biting a dog is funny. But do you know what the funniest thing is? Let me tell you: it's not people laughing at pigs; it's pigs laughing at people!"

Damn!

At that instant, Zhu Xiaoren realized why Zhou Yuyan said his name was preposterous. What was his dad thinking when he gave him such a ridiculous name? It's true, people laughing at pigs isn't funny, but pigs laughing at people—that's damn hilarious!

"You dare insult me?" Zhu Xiaoren knew he couldn't beat Ye Xiao, but he couldn't stand being humiliated like this by Ye Xiao and shouted loudly at him!

Ye Xiao actually admired the guy's guts, so, with a delighted smile, he approached Zhu Xiaoren!

Seeing Ye Xiao approaching, Zhu Xiaoren suddenly felt a twinge of panic and looked at Ye Xiao nervously, stepping back as he spoke, "What… what do you want?"

Ye Xiao didn't speak, just smiled.

"You... you stay back, if you dare hit me I'll call the police!" Zhu Xiaoren said something he had never uttered before. Yes, calling the police was a first for him; before, he thought calling the police was low-grade behavior. But now he had no choice because he truly feared Ye Xiao would hit him, especially since his two underlings were martial artists often used to bully others!

Hearing Zhu Xiaoren's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh. What an absurd situation!

"Hey, can't we be less cowardly here? I think everyone present can see that you were the first to have someone hit me, and you even cursed at me. I've been telling you to let it go, but you insisted on picking a fight. Can you really blame me? Now you're making this really awkward for me," Ye Xiao said, his face the picture of innocence, but he kept moving closer to Zhu Xiaoren.

"It was him who threw the punches, not me, so don't trouble me. I'm telling you if you dare hit me, I'll call the police straight away. I have connections at the Guard Bureau, you'd better think carefully!" Seeing Ye Xiao not stopping but coming even closer, Zhu Xiaoren was petrified, quickly invoking his hitherto scorned police acquaintance!

"Wow, he knows a policeman!" Upon hearing Zhu Xiaoren's words, Ye Xiao feigned surprise and then turned to Zhou Yuyan and the others to say.

Zhou Yuyan once again displayed her excellent quality of relishing chaos, commenting with cold indifference!

"Wow, someone is getting scared, someone is going to lose, Shuya, I just knew you would win, look at how pathetic Ye Xiao looks!" Zhou Yuyan chuckled as she said to Ling Shuya!

As a normal man, no matter what, you can't let a woman look down on you, especially when the woman is very pretty—that just makes it even more unacceptable to be disrespected by her. Otherwise, how would you get by in the future?

So, Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Yuyan again, chuckled, and said, "Brother Pig, let's discuss something, shall we?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Xiaoren immediately looked at Ye Xiao suspiciously, clearly not believing that anything good could come out of Ye Xiao's mouth.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Xiaoren said, looking at Ye Xiao with doubt on his face.

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "I won't beat you anymore, let's forget about you getting someone to beat me up, and the insults too—let's call it even, what do you say?"

Hearing Zhu Xiaoren's words, Ye Xiao was very puzzled and said, "What do you mean? Spill it!"

"Hey, your pig brain has gotten smarter, haven't it? Actually, it's nothing much, just compensate me a little for medical and emotional distress, and I'll let you off the hook!" Ye Xiao said with a smile while looking at Zhu Xiaoren.

Damn, a robbery!

Zhu Xiaoren is no fool. Once he heard Ye Xiao's words, he understood. Ye Xiao wasn't intending to let him off the hook at all; it was clear he was trying to extort him.

Now, in public, Zhu Xiaoren felt that he was a gentleman of some standing. If he got extorted by this guy today, how would he get by in the future?

"You're extorting me, I didn't hit you, they did. If you've got the guts, go ask them for the money!" Zhu Xiaoren didn't care about his henchmen anymore; at this point, he thought that as long as he, himself, could get through this safely, everything else was trivial!

Those two of Zhu Xiaoren's henchmen, upon hearing this, suddenly looked a bit displeased; after all, their boss was essentially throwing them under the bus!

Ye Xiao said, "Damn it, are you even a leader to them? You sell out your brothers just to save your own skin? I guess I can't take your money today; if I don't give you a good thrashing, you won't understand the importance of brotherhood!"

When Zhu Xiaoren heard Ye Xiao's words, he was shocked, and instinctively stepped back. However, Ye Xiao moved swiftly, as if he were wearing ice skates, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Zhu Xiaoren, and smacked him across the face!

Ye Xiao values brotherhood greatly, and initially, he just wanted to tease Zhu Xiaoren, but Zhu Xiaoren's words were so offensive that Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel the urge to give him a good thrashing!

Zhu Xiaoren was just an average person, so naturally, Ye Xiao wouldn't use Inner Power True Qi against an ordinary person. Thus, this slap was a simple, pure slap, nothing complex about it!

However, after the slap was delivered, Zhu Xiaoren spun around in place and then sat down hard on the ground, the sight of which was quite comical!

Ye Xiao turned to the guy who had claimed earlier to be a martial arts instructor and pointed at Zhu Xiaoren, saying, "Beat him!"

"Ah?" The martial arts instructor was utterly shocked, even more so than if he had been hit himself. Zhu Xiaoren was his boss; how could he dare to hit his boss?

Ye Xiao said, "If you don't beat him, I'll beat you!"

"I can't hit him, I just can't!" the martial arts instructor shook his head and said, "He's my boss, how can I dare to hit him? If you want to hit someone, hit me, don't hit my boss!"

Upon hearing the martial arts instructor's words, Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Xiaoren again and said with disdain, "You worthless guy, did you hear that? What a good subordinate, and you don't even know how to look after him. You want me to hit them? Damn bear, if I let you off today, I definitely can't mix in this business anymore!"

Ye Xiao then kicked Zhu Xiaoren, and he had a certain flair for hitting people—he ensured that the pain was intense while leaving no visible injuries, so even if they ended up at the Guard Bureau, the police couldn't do anything to Ye Xiao!

Zhu Xiaoren was fuming—what kind of person had he encountered today? Someone from a mental hospital?

Pain shot through Zhu Xiaoren where he'd been kicked. As he saw Ye Xiao lowering his body again, Zhu Xiaoren was terrified and blurted out, "What do you want?"

At this moment, everyone present was astonished, thinking that Ye Xiao was about to beat Zhu Xiaoren to death. But unexpectedly, when Ye Xiao leaned down, he stared at Zhu Xiaoren and actually gave him an ultimatum, "I'll give you two options. First, lend me some money so I can take those beauties to dinner; if I'm in a good mood, I might even pay you back. Second, I'll take you outside right now and beat you in the rain until you can't take care of yourself and have no future!"
