Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 240: Force Cannot Resolve Trouble


Ye Xiao's words surprised everyone, but the most surprised was Zhu Xiaoren. He had already anticipated that today he might really end up half-paralyzed by this lunatic, but what Zhu Xiaoren didn't expect was that, at this critical moment, Ye Xiao actually gave him two options!

"You… didn't you just say you don't want the money?" Zhu Xiaoren voiced his confusion.

The smile on Ye Xiao's face grew richer as he said, "Alright, I'll listen to you this time. I don't want the money!"

Seeing Ye Xiao's increasingly rich smile, Zhu Xiaoren's heart sank. When had he become such an idiot? Just give the money already, could it be that this guy had beaten him stupid?

"Don't... don't, I'll give you the money, as much as you want, just don't hit me!" Zhu Xiaoren said.

This time, Ye Xiao really put up a show, chuckling, "No, no, I can't take your money. A true man keeps his word, what's said is like water poured out; I definitely can't take your money!"

"Big brother, stop playing with me, just say how much you want, as long as I can afford it I'll give it to you. Don't worry, I definitely won't call the police!" Zhu Xiaoren intentionally emphasized the last sentence, clearly meaning he was afraid Ye Xiao would misunderstand.

Ye Xiao just chuckled, shaking his head, "How can I do that? A true man must keep his word. Do you think I am a man of my word?"

Ye Xiao's question really stumped Zhu Xiaoren. Saying he keeps his word meant getting beaten up, but saying he doesn't keep his word was just courting trouble!

Zhu Xiaoren stood there, indeterminate, feeling the fiery pain of five finger marks on his face, yet he dared not say a word.

At this moment, many people inside the You Ran Inn were looking at Zhu Xiaoren, obviously wanting to see how he would answer Ye Xiao's tricky question.

In fact, Zhu Xiaoren wasn't a fool, so he dared not answer.

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Zhu Xiaoren, saying, "I think, I'd better keep my promise and beat you half-paralyzed!"

"Don't... don't!" As soon as Zhu Xiaoren heard Ye Xiao say this, his legs started trembling, he was on the verge of kneeling down, and with a crying tone, he said, "Big brother, I was wrong, it was just me running my mouth. I won't do it anymore, please just accept the money. If you feel embarrassed about taking the money, it's okay, just put whatever it costs on my tab, it's all on me. You also know my name after all!"

"What a joke! Do you think I'm a fool?" Ye Xiao said, "If you leave, will they let me leave after we have finished eating?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Xiaoren felt there was some reason to them, and immediately said to Ye Xiao, "Then, I have three thousand yuan here, I'll leave it here for now. If it's not enough, just put it on my tab, how about that?"

"That's not too good, I said I definitely can't actively ask for your money!" Ye Xiao said with a troubled face. "How about this, I'll make it easy for you, just let me hit you. Getting hit and earning three thousand yuan!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Xiaoren almost cursed aloud. He wasn't making any money, yet his old man's daily allowance to him was definitely more than three thousand yuan. Was he only worth three thousand yuan?

Zhu Xiaoren vigorously shook his head, looking pleadingly at Ye Xiao, "Big brother, this money definitely isn't something I actively asked you for, it's me treating these beautiful ladies to dinner on your behalf."

"Oh, is that so? But that still doesn't seem right. If you are treating them to dinner, just go talk to them yourself. Let's stick to our own business!" Zhu Xiaoren could hardly stand it anymore. What was with this Ye Xiao? He had already said he was treating on his behalf, yet why was this guy still insisting on hitting him?

Seeing Ye Xiao rubbing his hands, Zhu Xiaoren's heart trembled in fear. Was this the prelude to getting beaten?

Zhu Xiaoren quickly said to Ye Xiao, "Suitable, how is it not suitable? Big brother, I'm begging you, please just accept my request. I admire your handsome and dashing appearance so willingly, so big brother, you definitely must not refuse!"

Ye Xiao's face was full of difficulty, he turned his head towards the martial arts coach beside him and said, "Give me some advice!"

"Big brother, what our boss said is true, you must be lenient, this is our boss's admiration for you like the endless flow of a river..."

"Stop!" Hearing the martial arts coach address him as big brother, Ye Xiao couldn't stand it.

"You go to one side. You are obviously so old, calling me big brother, are you trying to reduce my lifespan? If you call me big brother again, I'll beat him up!" Ye Xiao said pointing at Zhu Xiaoren.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Xiaoren's heart trembled in fear, he immediately told his subordinate, "Get the fuck out of here, stop messing around or I'll chop you up!"

"Damn!" Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Xiaoren.

Zhu Xiaoren quickly clamped his mouth shut, then took out three thousand yuan, ran to the front desk, and said, "This is the meal money for this big brother today. If it's not enough, make sure to put it on my tab. If you dare not to put it on the tab, I'll beat you up!"

The receptionist looked at Zhu Xiaoren with some surprise and tremblingly took the money from Zhu Xiaoren's hands.

Ye Xiao saw that Zhu Xiaoren had already paid the front desk lady and immediately said, "Forget it, forget it, I was planning to teach you a lesson, but seeing how you realize your mistake, you should go and sincerely apologize to your brothers!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Xiaoren knew that this was the end of it and chuckled at Ye Xiao, saying, "Yes, big brother, I'm going to apologize to them now!"

When the martial arts coach saw Zhu Xiaoren coming to apologize, he was so scared that his face turned pale, and with Zhu Xiaoren's evil look, the martial arts coach didn't dare let Zhu Xiaoren apologize, and immediately said, "No... no need, really no need, my boss treats me very well!"

Zhu Xiaoren turned his head toward Ye Xiao and saw him smiling back, which made Zhu Xiaoren shiver from the threatening look in Ye Xiao's eyes!

Zhu Xiaoren quickly looked at his subordinates and said, "Brother, I misspoke just now, please don't hold it against me, I'm saying sorry now, you must forgive me!"

"Forgiven, I've forgiven you!" The martial arts coach was truly terrified, his own boss apologizing to him was something that hadn't happened in hundreds of years!

Ye Xiao, of course, knew how scared the martial arts coach was and knew Zhu Xiaoren was staring at him menacingly, but what did that have to do with him? His main goal was to make Zhu Xiaoren pay for his and five beauties' meal, wasn't it?

As for how Zhu Xiaoren treated his subordinates, did it have anything to do with him?

After Zhu Xiaoren finished apologizing to his subordinates, he immediately turned his head to Ye Xiao and said, "Big brother, can I go now?"

"Go ahead, you can go anytime!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, "But you'd better treat your brothers better from now on!"

"Yes, I definitely will!" Zhu Xiaoren was respectful, not daring to show even a hint of displeasure, at least not on his face!

Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Xiaoren and said with a smile, "Hold on, don't go yet!"

When Zhu Xiaoren heard this, he quickly looked at Ye Xiao and said, "What's wrong, big brother, didn't I already apologize?"

Ye Xiao said, "You paid for the meal too, so why not finish eating before leaving?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaoren shook his head repeatedly, now he just wanted to leave this troublesome place as quickly as possible, spending the money was nothing!

"No thanks, no thanks, I have other things to do, big brother, I'll be leaving first!" The last thing Zhu Xiaoren wanted to do now was to get away from here!

Ye Xiao didn't bother with him anymore and instead went directly to the still-shaken front desk lady, smilingly looking at her and said, "Li Xiaojing, why such a startled look? Don't be scared, I'm a good person!"

At that comment, those in You Ran Inn who were paying attention to Ye Xiao almost burst out laughing, as someone who extorted money and called themselves a good person? If that's what a good person is, are there any villains left?

Li Xiaojing was the front desk lady; when she heard Ye Xiao suddenly calling her by her name, her face was full of surprise, and she looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "How do you know me?"

Ye Xiao leaned his head forward slightly and chuckled lowly, "Anyone who pays attention to your chest would know your name!"

Ah?

Li Xiaojing was astonished at Ye Xiao's words, and when she looked down, indeed, there was a name badge issued by the restaurant on her chest, and this guy had been peeking!

Li Xiaojing's cheeks were slightly red, and although she was somewhat skeptical of the young man in a silver-gray casual outfit in front of her, she couldn't help but admire him a little. Nonetheless, Zhu Xiaoren was a regular here, always very arrogant and dismissive of everyone, yet, today, Ye Xiao had beaten him and even extorted three thousand yuan!

After watching Zhu Xiaoren and others leave, Li Xiaojing whispered to Ye Xiao, "You'd better not touch that money!"

Ye Xiao looked puzzled and said, "You want it?"

Li Xiaojing, infuriated by what Ye Xiao said, responded, "It's not my money; I don't want it. I'm just saying Zhu Xiaoren is no ordinary person, and if you spend his money, there will definitely be trouble!"

Ye Xiao just laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? If he dares to come again, I'll beat him up so bad he won't be able to take care of himself!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaojing was speechless, wondering if physical confrontation was really necessary between people.

"Violence can't solve the problem; it only brings more trouble!" Li Xiaojing sighed and then handed the money to Ye Xiao, saying, "You can spend the money, but I've warned you!"

Ye Xiao didn't take the money but leaned on the counter, smilingly saying, "You have such a kind heart!"

Upon hearing this compliment from Ye Xiao, Li Xiaojing's cheeks flushed, obviously embarrassed.
