Ye Xiao stepped down from those few men and walked over to Liuu Shanshui, reaching out to help Liuu Shanshui up. Liuu Shanshui was startled and forgot to get up, but Ye Xiao made a slight effort and actually helped Liuu Shanshui to his feet!

"Mr. Ye?" Liuu Shanshui looked at Ye Xiao as he walked over to help him up, and more importantly, from this vantage point, he could see Ye Xiao's incredible strength!

Ye Xiao glanced at Liuu Shanshui and then at Guo Gaoping, with a smile he said, "Officer Liuu, Director Guo, let's forgive and forget. I'm not an unreasonable person. If both of you are willing to be friends with me, I believe it'll benefit us all."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words that came out of nowhere, Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui were both stunned. What did he mean by that?

Guo Gaoping looked at Liuu Shanshui, who was also looking back at him. Clearly, they didn't understand what Ye Xiao was trying to do.

With a rich smile on his face, Ye Xiao soon made sure Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui understood his intentions!

A man who could anger Yang Ming— this Ye Xiao was definitely not simple. Liuu Shanshui hurriedly looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Mr. Ye, I'd like to be your friend."

Hearing Liuu Shanshui's words, Guo Gaoping quickly echoed, "Mr. Ye, this was all a misunderstanding. From now on, we are friends. We'll host lunch for you to ease the shock!"

Ye Xiao truly had no fondness for Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui, but to make the path of Heavenly Gate Security Company smoother in the future, and to have a more useful network of connections, he decided to forgive them!

Actually, getting Ye Xiao's forgiveness was very simple, but if you wanted it to be just that simple, you'd be gravely mistaken!

Liuu Shanshui, fearing that Guo Gaoping might get closer to Ye Xiao, quickly said, "Mr. Ye, today's trouble was caused by me. I should take full responsibility for this, so I'll be the host. I must properly soothe your nerves today, otherwise, my conscience won't allow it!"

Hearing Liuu Shanshui's words, Ye Xiao scoffed. Do you even have a conscience? For a bit of money, you could easily sentence a person who has no grudges with you to death.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Director Guo, Officer Liuu, now that we are friends, let's skip the formalities. The remaining issues here, I think it's best if I leave them to you."

Guo Gaoping immediately rushed to say, "Of course, Mr. Ye can rest assured. I'll deal with these sons of bitches properly. How dare they lay a hand on Mr. Ye; I'll make sure they never see the sun again!"

Ye Xiao did believe Guo Gaoping's words, but he felt no joy from them because these matters seemed to have nothing to do with him!

At that moment, Song Jiamin hurried to the door of the cottage, and as she walked in worriedly, she found Ye Xiao chatting and laughing with Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui, showing no realization of having just been detained!

Seeing Song Jiamin coming in, Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui jumped in fright. They had not expected Song Jiamin to follow them!

"Officer Song..." both Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui looked toward Song Jiamin!

Jiamin then strode toward Ye Xiao. Even though she knew nothing could happen to Ye Xiao, she still couldn't help but worry!

Jiamin didn't even glance at Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui. Looking at the smiling Ye Xiao, she said indignantly, "You're not dead yet?"

Hearing her words, Ye Xiao teased, "If I had died, wouldn't Officer Song be heartbroken? For the sake of Officer Song's healthy heart, I have to stay alive!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui both smiled a little. They certainly knew that Ye Xiao was teasing Jiamin!

A man who dared to tease Song Jiamin was definitely not simple, which further convinced Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui of this fact!

"What are you talking about? Be more serious!" Jiamin, seeing Ye Xiao teasing her in front of Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui, immediately felt both embarrassed and angry!

Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulders, with a nonchalant look he said, "Alright, alright. To thank Officer Song for taking time out of her busy schedule to come rescue her husband a thousand miles away..."

As Ye Xiao said the word "husband," he saw Jiamin's eyes immediately glare at him, as if to say, if he didn't change his words, there would be no end to this matter!

Ye Xiao quickly chuckled and looked at Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui, saying, "You heard nothing. I didn't say 'husband,' I said 'good citizen'!"

Man, do the words 'husband' and 'good citizen' have even the slightest similarity in meaning?

However, Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui were accommodating, and they both said with a smile, "Yes, yes, good citizen, indeed a good citizen!"

If Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui hadn't said that, Jiamin might have been less embarrassed. Now, after hearing their words, she blushed even more!

But Jiamin was also smart, knowing she needed to break the awkwardness. So, her gaze turned to the men stacked up like Arhats!

"What happened here?" Jiamin pointed at those men and asked.

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "I fought them, but it was in self-defense, something Director Guo and Officer Liuu can confirm!"

"Yes, yes, it was indeed self-defense!" Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui quickly agreed.

Hearing what the two of them said, Song Jiamin was at a loss for words. Why were they listening to Ye Xiao so obediently?

Before Song Jiamin could respond, Ye Xiao grabbed her hand with a grin and started heading outside, still smiling as he said, "I'm so happy you came to save me today. Therefore, I'll reward you!"

Song Jiamin wanted to struggle, but by the time she thought to do so, they were almost out of the cabin, so she didn't resist.

Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui were astonished to see Ye Xiao holding the icy beauty's hand and walking out—especially since the beauty didn't resist. They were completely taken aback. What was going on?

Ye Xiao and Song Jiamin stepped out of the cabin, and there stood a policeman. Ye Xiao looked closely and recognized it as Liuu Jili, the officer who had taken his statement earlier.

Ye Xiao immediately greeted with a smile, "Officer Liuu, good morning!"

While speaking, Ye Xiao intended to walk away, still holding Song Jiamin's hand.

Liuu Jili couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Ye Xiao's hand—more precisely, at Song Jiamin's hand, the one Ye Xiao was holding.

Of course, both Ye Xiao and Song Jiamin noticed Liuu Jili's gaze. Song Jiamin felt embarrassed and tried to pull away, but Ye Xiao then tightened his grip, holding her hand like a pair of pliers.

Seeing this, a surge of anger welled up in Liuu Jili. He glared at Ye Xiao and said coldly, "Who said you could leave? You haven't finished giving your statement!"

Hearing Liuu Jili's words, Ye Xiao smiled slightly, looked at him, and didn't speak. Instead, he let go of Song Jiamin's hand and reached out to straighten Liuu Jili's collar.

Liuu Jili and Song Jiamin were both startled by Ye Xiao's action, clueless about what it meant.

Liuu Jili was already quite annoyed with Ye Xiao, and seeing him holding the hand of the woman he fancied only infuriated him further—he was itching to explode.

Now, he had an excuse.

"Do you want to assault an officer?" Liuu Jili grabbed one of Ye Xiao's hands and shouted angrily!

Ye Xiao just smiled faintly at Liuu Jili's words and said, "If you let go, I might forgive you."

Liuu Jili found Ye Xiao's response ridiculous. This guy actually thought he could forgive him—in the Guard Bureau, where police are supreme!

"It looks like you really do want to assault an officer. I'm detaining you for fifteen days!" Liuu Jili said sternly.

Song Jiamin immediately looked at Liuu Jili and asked, "What are you implying?"

When Liuu Jili saw Song Jiamin trying to help Ye Xiao, he grew even more furious. He didn't even glance at her and said, "Anyone who assaults an officer will be treated equally!"

'Crack!'

At that moment, a crisp sound rang out as Ye Xiao's hand made contact with Liuu Jili's cheek.

Liuu Jili saw stars and nearly fell to the ground from that slap!

When he recovered, Liuu Jili covered his face, glaring at Ye Xiao, and exclaimed, "You… you dare to hit me? I'm a police officer!"

Ye Xiao then slapped Liuu Jili again on the face, his mouth curving into a smile as he said, "What I'm hitting is you. Didn't you say I assaulted an officer? I've assaulted again. Do you want to see again how exactly I'm assaulting you?"

Liuu Jili was completely dumbfounded. What was happening? Had this man lost his mind? Hitting a police officer in the Guard Bureau? Who had lost their wits?

Just then, Guo Gaoping and Liuu Shanshui, having heard the commotion, hurried outside. When they arrived, they saw Ye Xiao slap Liuu Jili for the second time, heard Ye Xiao's words, and noticed that Song Jiamin was standing aside as if she hadn't seen anything!

"Damn it, I want you to rot in jail!" Liuu Jili roared hysterically, but his outburst was utterly ineffective, and what's more…

Hearing his nephew's words, Liuu Shanshui trembled with fear and quickly walked over to kick Liuu Jili in the backside, cursing, "You little rascal, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Ye, or else get lost right now!"

Liuu Jili was even more confused. What was happening?

Hadn't his uncle just been sending people to take down Ye Xiao? How did Ye Xiao suddenly become Mr. Ye, and it seemed like even his own uncle was afraid of him?

Then, Liuu Jili also saw his uncle, Liuu Shanshui, bowing and scraping, looking at Ye Xiao with a sycophantic smile, and saying, "Mr. Ye, this kid is young and ignorant. Don't stoop to his level. I will definitely discipline him properly!"

Ye Xiao smiled and walked up to Liuu Jili, looking him in the eye and saying, "A person's destiny is already determined by fate. Defying fate is not impossible, but you can't!"

After speaking, Ye Xiao once again took Song Jiamin's hand and headed towards the stairwell!
