Han Yang Road Guard Bureau!

"Name!"

"Ye Xiao!"

"Gender!"

"..."

The police officer who was writing the report was speaking and writing at the same time, but after asking a question, he didn't hear any response from Ye Xiao, so he asked again, "Gender!"

"Female!"

Just as the recording officer was about to write 'female,' he suddenly remembered something, looked up at Ye Xiao with a frown, and said, "I'm asking for your gender, are you female?"

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "You can't even tell male from female, did you buy your position as a police officer?"

This police officer, named Liuu Jili, was a relative of the previous Liuu Shanshui. He paid 150,000 yuan to work here as a police officer—and of course, it was worth it to spend such an amount to go from an unemployed ex-serviceman to a formal police officer.

However, being a bought officer had always been Liuu Jili's sore point because in the first three months after joining, almost every colleague looked at him differently. Recently, his Uncle Liuu Shanshui had just been promoted to Deputy Director of the Han Yang Road Guard Bureau. As a result, those who had once viewed him suspiciously were now coming to befriend him. They even drank together after work; he was treated much better than before. But now, Ye Xiao had hit him right in his sore spot without even meaning to!

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liuu Jili shouted at Ye Xiao. "Are you looking for trouble?"

Ye Xiao wasn't upset by Liuu Jili's displeasure. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Officer Liuu, you should remember you're a police officer. Do all cops act like you? You've lost your composure!"

Although Liuu Jili was annoyed by Ye Xiao's teasing words, he still managed to suppress the anger within him and said, "Let's continue with the record!"

Ye Xiao shrugged indifferently but just then, someone walked into the room—it was the previously mentioned Liuu Shanshui!

Liuu Shanshui glanced at Ye Xiao, then said to Liuu Jili, "Having trouble?"

"This guy's not cooperating!"

"Young people are always a bit impatient and impulsive. Ye Xiao, right? I will take over the recording from you," Liuu Shanshui said, taking the record book from Liuu Jili's hands.

Ye Xiao said, "It's all the same to me, as long as you don't do it on purpose to make it difficult."

Liuu Shanshui took a look at Ye Xiao, then said, "Police don't intentionally make it difficult for a good person. Come on, let's go."

Ye Xiao, puzzled because there were facilities for record writing in this large room, said, "Where to?"

"You're different from them, so we need to go somewhere else to make the record. Otherwise, why would I personally take the time to record your statement?" Liuu Shanshui said with a smile.

Ye Xiao didn't think too much of it at that moment and immediately stood up, but what puzzled him was the signal Liuu Shanshui gave Liuu Jili behind his back.

What did that mean?

Ye Xiao was clever, and although he didn't know the exact meaning, he knew it definitely was not a good sign.

"Officer Liuu, may I make a phone call? I was planning to meet someone, and she is waiting for me at Minghai Academy. If I don't go, she will surely be disappointed, so I need to inform her," Ye Xiao said to Liuu Shanshui.

Liuu Shanshui said, "You may."

Ye Xiao then took out his phone and called Su Yun. He wasn't foolish; clearly, he could tell that he might not be able to leave the station for a while, and Su Yun might already be waiting at her place!

Indeed, Su Yun was already at her residence waiting, so when Ye Xiao's call came through, she immediately hurried to answer.

"I've finished class," Su Yun said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "I have some matters to take care of right now; can you wait a little longer?"

Even though Su Yun was a bit disappointed to hear Ye Xiao's words, she still said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao smiled at Liuu Shanshui and said, "Officer Liuu, let's go."

Seeing that Ye Xiao was still cheerful and willing to continue with the statement recording, Liuu Shanshui gave a slight smile and then promptly walked out of the record-writing room with Ye Xiao. However, just as they were leaving the room, Ye Xiao saw seven or eight people walking towards the exit of the Guard Bureau compound!

Ye Xiao looked at the seven or eight people with slight puzzlement because among them were some of the same individuals he had fought in the hospital earlier that day. How could this be? ...

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Liuu Shanshui and said, "Officer Liuu, what about those people who were just brought in today?"

"They're locked up!" Liuu Shanshui responded offhandedly.

"But I just saw them walking out of the Guard Bureau!" Ye Xiao insisted.

Hearing this, Liuu Shanshui replied urgently, "You must have seen wrong. Let's hurry, after we complete the statement, you can go."

At Liuu Shanshui's words, Ye Xiao silently chuckled bitterly. He was certain of his own strength and so he was equally certain that what he had witnessed was the reality. Liuu's response seemed to indicate he was sheltering those men. However, it really wasn't Ye Xiao's concern, and honestly, he didn't want to be involved.

Thus, Ye Xiao followed Liuu Shanshui, thinking once he finished giving his statement he could leave. Anything else was none of his business!

But was everything really as simple as Ye Xiao thought?

Reaching the end of the corridor, Liuu Shanshui gestured towards an open doorway, saying to Ye Xiao, "Go on in!"

Ye Xiao glanced at the room without much thought and walked in. As he entered, Liuu Shanshui quickly shut the door behind him!

Hearing the clang of the door shutting, Ye Xiao turned his head to see that Liuu Shanshui didn't enter at all!

Ye Xiao immediately realized he had been set up by Liuu Shanshui, but what use would it be to lock him in? The room was well-lit. As Ye Xiao stepped further inside, he saw a light reflect off the wall—

The glint of cold steel!

That was the gleam only blades could produce. There were people here!

Ye Xiao proceeded carefully and sure enough, a flash of cold light zipped by as a short blade aimed straight for his head. Seeing the blade coming, Ye Xiao pushed off with his feet, his body sliding backward, narrowly avoiding the lethal strike!

Ye Xiao focused and saw it wasn't just one blade but five. The bearers of these blades were five burly men, from whom Ye Xiao sensed a vicious air that only constant fighters possessed. Clearly, they were not cops!

After their first strike missed, the five men quickly surrounded Ye Xiao, slashing from various directions towards him!

Ye Xiao could not afford to be careless. Though he had remarkable healing abilities, he did not relish the thought of being sliced by these men, especially since there were assassins waiting for him. It was an ambush!

Ye Xiao lunged towards the thug closest to him, his movements ghost-like as he dodged the man's blade, grabbing the back of the knife and with a twist, he snatched it away!

The knife was taken in a blink. The man was stunned for a moment, but in that split second, Ye Xiao, already holding the short blade, without a second word, fiercely stabbed it into the man's thigh, and hot blood spurted from the wound!

The sight of Ye Xiao piercing his comrade's thigh with lightning speed took the remaining four by surprise. They had not expected this young man to be so formidable!

Seizing the moment of their shock, Ye Xiao leaped aside, holding the short blade in hand, his eyes sweeping over the men like the edge of a knife.

"Who exactly are you?" Ye Xiao asked coldly.

At this, one of the leaders looked at Ye Xiao. Despite being surprised by his speed and ruthlessness, his arrogance was not diminished.

"Want to know who we are? Haha, listen well then. We are from the Poison Snake Company, and I am the brother of the boss of the Poison Snake Company, Tiger!"

Ye Xiao looked at the man boasting a tiger's frame who called himself Tiger, and he laughed, saying, "Tiger? I really can't see it. How do you resemble a tiger at all? I have no feud with the Poison Snake Company. Is there a need to go to such lengths to have me killed?"

"Humph, still denying any problems with our Poison Snake Company?" At this moment, one of Tiger's underlings shouted, "You beat up our brothers at the city hospital; now you must pay with your blood for the shame you brought upon the Poison Snake Company!"

The humiliation of the Poison Snake Company?

Hearing this, Ye Xiao chuckled softly, as if he had heard a funny joke.

"What are you laughing at?" Tiger growled at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao replied, "Nothing much, just a laugh. Let me give you some advice. From now on, stop trying to oppose me. That way, I can assure you a few will be safe."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the group burst into uproarious laughter. A person could be proud, but not to such a ludicrous extent! Moreover, they felt that their previous defeat was because they had underestimated their opponent. They were the top fighters of the Poison Snake Company's security department. If they couldn't handle someone who looked like a mere student, how would they ever continue to mingle in society or stand in the Poison Snake Company?

"Fuck you!" Riled by Ye Xiao's words and feeling insulted, Tiger, wielding a short blade, charged at Ye Xiao followed by the rest!

Ye Xiao looked at the men rushing towards him with the intention of taking his life and felt very helpless—he had been forced into this!

He had already warned them, yet these people ignored it completely, still intent on eliminating Ye Xiao to salvage their pitiful pride and sense of superiority.

As Tiger and his men closed in on him, a chill spread across Ye Xiao's face and suddenly, his eyes brightened, and the short blade in his hand swung into action.
