Huang Zongyuan, whose anger had already flared up, was truly taken aback when he suddenly heard the knocking. He had just said no one would come, yet now someone was knocking at the door!

At this moment, the four of Huang Zongyuan's men who were beating up Han Jianjun immediately stopped their assault and all turned to look toward the door!

Huang Zongyuan slowly let go of Han Xuewei and then said to two of his men, "Go see who it is!"

"Yes!" One of the men briskly walked to the door, then reached out and opened it!

Standing at the door was a young man with delicate features and a slender build, non-threatening in appearance. Therefore, the subordinate, instead of berating the newcomer, looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The young man, asked for his identity, wore a soft smile and calmly said, "I'm here to see President Han."

"Sorry, but President Han is in the middle of a discussion and you can't go in!" The underling became immediately alert upon hearing the young man's response.

The slender young man, still smiling, said, "I have something important to discuss with President Han. Also, you don't seem to be an employee of this company, do I? I've never seen you before!"

Even though the young man was bluffing, the thug was shocked upon hearing his words. He quickly turned his gaze to the young man, his eyes growing cold as he grabbed the young man's arm, yanked it hard, and 'whooshed' the young man into the office. The office door was then casually closed and locked by the young man himself!

Though thrown into the room, the young man managed not to fall but staggered a bit before steadying himself.

"Wow, quite a crowd!" Once inside, the young man showed no sign of surprise but instead smiled cheerfully.

At that moment, Han Xuewei caught sight of the man's face. Was it him?

After seeing the young man clearly, Han Xuewei felt a surge of joy. She hadn't expected to see the man she'd spent one night with as man and wife at such a desperate moment. If not Ye Xiao, then who could it be!

In just the past two or three hours, Han Xuewei had thought of many people but never expected Ye Xiao to appear here. She didn't believe Ye Xiao would risk his life for her, yet there he was, truly risking it all!

He had come!

Huang Zongyuan looked the somewhat slender young man up and down, finding it ridiculous that this fellow, who looked like he could be toppled by a second-level breeze, had entered and witnessed the office's situation without a hint of surprise—as if everything happening in the office was perfectly normal.

Meanwhile, Huang Zongyuan's men had already encircled Ye Xiao!

Huang Zongyuan didn't think that this slender young man posed any kind of threat to him.

"Young man, what brings you here?" asked Huang Zongyuan with a smile on his face.

Huang Zongyuan had never met Ye Xiao, so naturally, he had no idea that this young man was Ye Xiao. Moreover, although Huang Zongyuan's attempt to kidnap Ling Hengyu's daughter had been unsuccessful, he didn't know that the person who had thwarted that plan was Ye Xiao. He only knew that Ling Hengyu had a capable young man at his disposal.

Ye Xiao glanced at Huang Zongyuan. Unconcerned by the approach of four robust men, he still smiled at Huang Zongyuan. He hadn't actually met Huang Zongyuan before, and he didn't know who this person was since nobody had mentioned that this was Huang Zongyuan!

Therefore, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I'm here to report my work to President Han. However, it seems like President Han doesn't have the time to talk about work right now, so may I ask if I can leave now?"

"You're here just to talk about work?" Huang Zongyuan looked at Ye Xiao and sneered.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Of course it's about work. Sir, what do you think I'm here to do?"

"What did you see then?"

Ye Xiao promptly replied, "I saw nothing."

Hearing Ye Xiao's response, the overwhelming gratitude that had welled up in Han Xuewei's heart upon seeing Ye Xiao vanished, turning to ashes. What on earth was he here for?

"You've got potential, young man. In the future, you can stick with me. As long as Huang Zongyuan has a bite to eat, you'll certainly have soup to drink!" Huang Zongyuan laughed heartily.

Huang Zongyuan?

Upon hearing the name, Ye Xiao took another serious look at Huang Zongyuan, clearly not expecting that this man was Huang Zongyuan. But then, considering Han Jianjun's company was attacking Huang Zongyuan's company, and there was a direct conflict between Han Jianjun's and Huang Zongyuan's companies, it made sense that today's incident occurred.

"So, you are President Huang!" Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "What a fortunate encounter!"

"You've heard of me?" Huang Zongyuan immediately looked at Ye Xiao with great interest and said!

"Of course, President Huang's renowned name has been thunderously echoed in my ears. Although I've not been in Minghai City for long, I've been eager every moment to witness President Huang's elegance. Today, seeing you in person, President Huang is truly... truly..."

Huang Zongyuan saw Ye Xiao seemed to be searching for an adjective but couldn't come up with one right away. He laughed heartily and said, "I'm not as impressive as you say, just casually doing some business. However, you, my boy, have a way with words. I like that. Stick with me, and it'll be fine. This place will soon become my company, and I'll give you a nice position!"

"Ah, I really must thank President Huang for your cultivation!" Ye Xiao said with a look of pride on his face!

Huang Zongyuan immediately waved his hand and said to the four subordinates, "From now on, we're all one of us, don't scare the kid. Oh right, what's your name, young man?"

"Me? My surname is Xiao, as in 'size'!" Ye Xiao replied to Huang Zongyuan with a smile!

Huang Zongyuan heard Ye Xiao's words and immediately looked puzzled. He said to Huang Zongyuan, "Xiao as in 'size'? Huh? How can there be such a strange surname? I've never heard of a surname Xiao in the Hundred Family Surnames. What's your name then!"

"Ye," Ye Xiao continued with a chuckle!

Having heard Ye Xiao's words, Huang Zongyuan felt something off but couldn't immediately pinpoint what it was and blurted out, "Xiao Ye, huh!"

"Sigh, what a good boy!" Ye Xiao continued smiling and looking at Huang Zongyuan!

It was only when Huang Zongyuan heard Ye Xiao's words that he realized something was amiss because at that moment, he understood that Ye Xiao was clearly mocking him!

"Damn it, you dare to fool around with me!" Huang Zongyuan immediately cursed out loud. At the same time, he shouted to the four subordinates, "Go on, I want him crippled!"

The four subordinates, upon hearing Huang Zongyuan's words, immediately pounced towards Ye Xiao. Originally, these four men were very close to Ye Xiao, so in their view, capturing Ye Xiao was surely an easy task.

However, to their surprise, they all charged together but failed to catch Ye Xiao!

Instead, Ye Xiao jumped onto the nearby sofa in a single bound, sat leisurely on the sofa, and laughed heartily, "I'll give you three seconds to consider. Kneel and kowtow, and I'll spare you this once!"

The four subordinates of Huang Zongyuan, thinking that Ye Xiao was insulting them, cried out loudly and charged straight towards Ye Xiao. Attacking from various directions, the four men surrounded Ye Xiao with an impenetrable offensive.

At that moment, to bystanders, it looked like Ye Xiao was done for, because there was no way to dodge!

Even Han Xuewei was worried for Ye Xiao at that moment. Ye Xiao had a frail figure, and although he showed incredible strength during 'that' activity, now was not the time for 'that,' and it wasn't as simple as having a well-endowed organ!

Therefore, Han Xuewei truly worried for Ye Xiao, fearing he might get hurt because of them!

Yet, to her surprise, she soon realized she was overthinking it!

After being surrounded by those four burly men, Ye Xiao didn't dodge this time but, in an instant and inexplicably, the four burly men were beaten senseless and were all lying on the ground, dazed. The speed was so fast that not only was Han Xuewei astonished, but even Huang Zongyuan was taken aback!

Ye Xiao stacked the four men together, and now, all four were knocked out cold by Ye Xiao.

Huang Zongyuan was stunned. He simply couldn't believe that his four prideful bodyguards had been knocked out so quickly and were now piled up!

"Who exactly are you?" Huang Zongyuan was no fool. Ye Xiao had been all submissive before, even bootlicking Huang Zongyuan, but how could it be that in the blink of an eye, he had become so formidable? The huge contrast left Huang Zongyuan somewhat startled!

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Didn't I just say? You can keep calling me that!"

"Fuck!" Huang Zongyuan immediately grabbed Han Xuewei's hair next to him, looking at Ye Xiao warily, and said, "You'd better not act rashly, or I'll kill her!"

"You'd better let go of your filthy hands, or I will kill you!" Ye Xiao said coolly!

Huang Zongyuan immediately pulled out a mobile phone with one hand while the other, which had been grabbing Han Xuewei's hair, now choked her neck. Huang Zongyuan intended to call his subordinates, but at that moment, an 'ah' was heard!

Han Jianjun, already beaten to a pulp, suddenly pounced onto Huang Zongyuan, causing him to lose balance. Huang Zongyuan's phone was thrown away, and he fell to the ground, separated from Han Xuewei!

Ye Xiao instantly caught Han Xuewei with a swift move and helped her up!

But just then, a loud, ear-piercing gunshot rang out, startling everyone who heard it!
