This morning, Sun Bin had just been elected as the new head of Minghai City, an opportunity he absolutely should not have had. After all, he knew the power of Chen Maozhong. However, because of Ye Xiao, Sun Bin miraculously became the head of Minghai City, and Chen Maozhong even withdrew from the election voluntarily!

Sun Bin knew that without Ye Xiao, he would not have his position, and he was even more astounded by Ye Xiao's power. Was this the real Ye Xiao? If Sun Bin had any doubts about Ye Xiao's capabilities before, now he could no longer harbor any doubts; he truly believed in Ye Xiao's strength.

However, when Sun Bin received a call from Ye Xiao and heard what Ye Xiao had said, he was truly puzzled and didn't understand the meaning of Ye Xiao's words.

Zhang Zihao?

Who was that?

Sun Bin quickly asked Ye Xiao, "Mr. Ye, who is this Zhang Zihao you mentioned?"

"Mayor Sun, as the head of a city, do you still need me to teach you what to do? Now I really doubt whether the position as the head of Minghai City suits you at all!" Ye Xiao said sternly over the phone to Sun Bin!

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Sun Bin trembled all over!

His position as the head of Minghai City had not come easily. Moreover, Sun Bin knew that since Ye Xiao could elevate him, he could easily bring him down as well. When that happened, he feared that he might not be so lucky to even become the second in command, perhaps not even an ordinary citizen!

Sun Bin quickly responded, "Yes, yes, Mr. Ye, I will look into it immediately."

"If you need any help, you can seek Yang Ming. He will definitely do his best to assist you!" Ye Xiao added calmly at the end.

Sun Bin, of course, knew who Yang Ming was, having learned from Sun Yuze about how Yang Ming got promoted, which terrified him even more, and he quickly acknowledged.

The head of Minghai City, the head of the Guard Bureau!

These two positions were absolutely crucial in a city, yet both were appointed by Ye Xiao, and both were absolutely obedient to him—something unimaginable for others!

Sun Bin was no fool. Ye Xiao had uplifted him, not without reason. From now on, the person he would be loyal to was naturally Ye Xiao. Moreover, Sun Bin was also relieved that his son could speak up in front of Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao hung up the call and then crouched down, his eyes squinting with a smile as he looked at Zhang Zihao, whose face was somewhat swollen. At this moment, Zhang Zihao's limbs were broken, three of them. Although Ye Xiao had held back his strength, Zhang Zihao was just an ordinary man, and he still suffered internal injuries!

Zhang Zihao looked at Ye Xiao in front of him with fear. He knew Ye Xiao was a fighter and might have some connections in Minghai City, but he had never dreamed that Ye Xiao would dare to hurt him so severely. At this moment, to Zhang Zihao, the smile on Ye Xiao's face seemed more like a devil's grin!

"I just wanted to teach you a lesson," Ye Xiao said with a smile, his expression growing richer. "Who knew you'd blab so quickly. Knowing that Qin Yulu's background wasn't ideal, you still chose to reveal it, satisfying your perverse thoughts. So, not only are you doomed, but your family too will be ruined, no matter how grand!"

Zhang Zihao would never forget the smile on Ye Xiao's face at that moment, for as long as he lived. If time could be reversed, he would never make an enemy of Ye Xiao again; because being an enemy of Ye Xiao was truly worse than a quick death!

Ye Xiao stood up, not looking at Zhang Zihao again, but walked straight towards the entrance of the internet cafe. The employees at the internet cafe, seeing Ye Xiao leaving, initially wanted to stop him, since several computers had been damaged. However, upon seeing Ye Xiao's cold gaze, they inexplicably retreated together, not daring to advance even a half-step further!

Ye Xiao walked out of the internet cafe. At the entrance, Song Jiaqian and Qin Yulu were squatting on the steps. Song Jiaqian looked at Ye Xiao and gestured with her eyes. Ye Xiao turned to Qin Yulu, who was staring blankly ahead. Obviously, learning that she might not be the biological daughter of her parents and could be adopted had greatly disturbed her.

Ye Xiao sighed deeply. He was starting to regret his persistence in confronting Zhang Zihao because if he hadn't, Zhang Zihao might not have revealed Qin Yulu's origins, and she wouldn't have needed to endure such emotional torment.

Ye Xiao walked up to Qin Yulu and slowly crouched down!

Seeing Ye Xiao squatting in front of her, Qin Yulu quickly averted her red, tearful eyes, not wanting him to see her weakest side!

Ye Xiao's lips moved gently as he looked at Qin Yulu and said, "I am an orphan!"

What—

Ye Xiao's words had taken Qin Yulu and Song Jiaqian by surprise. They had never expected Ye Xiao to suddenly utter such a statement, nor did they understand why he would say it!

Seeing the astonished expressions on Qin Yulu and Song Jiaqian's faces, Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Surprised, aren't you? In fact, I'm an orphan. I came to Minghai City to search for the mystery of my origin. For nineteen years, every moment I've been thinking about finding my biological parents. Watching others being loved by their parents, while I could only watch and sigh. Over these years, I don't know how I've gotten through it all. You, at least, have someone like Uncle Qin to love you like a father. If I had someone to love me like that, I wouldn't have kept searching for the parents who abandoned me!"

Towards the end, Ye Xiao's nose tingled with emotion!

Both Song Jiaqian and Qin Yulu were incredibly surprised. They were shocked to learn about such a backstory for the usually cheerful Ye Xiao!

When Qin Yulu heard what Ye Xiao had said, her originally troubled mood lifted completely, and she no longer thought about who her parents were. Instead, she looked at Ye Xiao with sympathy, seeing that he was even more pitiable than herself!

Ye Xiao continued speaking to Qin Yulu, "I'm really sorry about today. If I hadn't spoken, Zhang Zihao wouldn't have revealed your origins, and you wouldn't have known!"

Qin Yulu was sharp, however, and said, "Actually, even without the events of today, Zhang Zihao would definitely have told me. He did this out of revenge, after hitting my dad, and I suspect that next time he saw me, he would have told me about it. Besides, I think that yesterday morning, Zhang Zihao spoke a few words to my dad, and then my dad didn't dare say a word. He must have been threatening my dad. Zhang Zihao is really hateful; he must face the law!"

Ye Xiao said, "Let's not worry about him. I think it will be hard for him to show up in front of you again. Let's go, back to the hospital. Also, we should visit Uncle Qin, and Lulu, let's keep quiet about your origins for now. After all, Uncle Qin is still injured."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Qin Yulu felt that Ye Xiao was really thoughtful, realizing something she hadn't noticed herself. She quickly said, "I know. Anyway, it's not like it's a new issue. Besides, if my biological parents abandoned me, why should I even bother… Forget it. Maybe... maybe Zhang Zihao was lying to me!"

Qin Yulu's last remark was clearly her trying to console herself.

Ye Xiao gave a slight smile, then said nothing more. The three of them quickly got into a car and swiftly headed for Minghai City Hospital!

Coincidentally, when Ye Xiao, Song Jiaqian, and Qin Yulu arrived at Minghai City Hospital, Du Yan and Wang Hui were crossing from the other side of the road into the hospital and encountered them!

Du Yan, seeing Ye Xiao, looked very upset and glared at him!

However, Wang Hui reacted differently. Since Ye Xiao had hit Du Yan and she had shown thorough care at a crucial time, there now seemed to be some emotional development between Du Yan and Wang Hui!

"Jiaqian, just back from dinner?" Wang Hui smiled and spoke to Song Jiaqian.

Song Jiaqian nodded and said, "Yes."

At that moment, Du Yan huffed and walked into the hospital. Wang Hui winked at Song Jiaqian. She harbored no animosity toward Song Jiaqian or Ye Xiao; without them, she wouldn't have had the chance to develop anything with Du Yan!

Thus, if anything, she owed them thanks.

"Du Yan really is loved by everyone," Ye Xiao said, smiling as he watched Du Yan walk away.

Song Jiaqian said, "Du Yan's father is a hospital administrator, and even though he is young, he's already a chief physician with a promising future. Naturally, many girls like him."

"But why don't you like him?" Ye Xiao immediately teased with a chuckle.

Song Jiaqian glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao quickly laughed and said, "Just kidding. But seriously, his dad is a hospital administrator, so be careful he doesn't give you trouble!"

"He wouldn't dare!" Song Jiaqian responded with raised eyebrows, "Compete over fathers? He can't compete!"

Seeing Song Jiaqian's slightly arrogant demeanor, Ye Xiao suddenly remembered that this girl's dad was the Speaker of the Minghai City Council. Naturally, she wasn't scared of Du Yan at all. Du Yan's hospital administrator father would likely have to bow down and be deferential in front of Song Jiaqian.

There's no helping it; these days it's all about whose dad has more influence. And for someone like Ye Xiao, who couldn't even find his father, he had to resort to the most barbaric methods to survive in this era of paternal competition, or else he would definitely be at a disadvantage!

Ye Xiao then went to the hospital with Song Jiaqian and Qin Yulu, first visiting Qin Yulu's father, Qin Erzhu. After chatting for a while, he told Qin Erzhu to speak up if he needed anything, saying that since everyone is a common man, they should help each other, which warmed Qin Erzhu's heart.

Then, Ye Xiao visited Zhan Bo and Weii Yang in their hospital room. However, as soon as he and Song Jiaqian entered Zhan Bo and Weii Yang's room, Song Jiaqian immediately said, "It's smoky here; who's smoking?"
