Huang Zongyuan couldn't understand why Ye Xiao still hadn't killed him. Normally, Ye Xiao was definitely supposed to kill him.

However, Ye Xiao didn't seem to have any intention of killing him now; instead, there was a faint smile on his face, even when he was helping Han Jianjun up.

"Why... why don't you kill me?" Huang Zongyuan asked, struggling with the searing pain in his arm.

Ye Xiao laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Want to die now? Well, I suddenly really don't want you to die. Life is very precious, after all, and since you've killed, it's only right for the Guard Bureau to punish you."

"You're planning to hand me over to the Guard Bureau?" Huang Zongyuan felt a flicker of hope upon hearing this.

At this point, Huang Zongyuan believed that, given his connection with Shi Qiang, even if he had committed murder, he wouldn't be executed right away. If he could get a stay of execution, he would soon be free to enjoy life again.

Ye Xiao sat down in the chair previously occupied by Han Jianjun and looked at Huang Zongyuan with a grin, purposely saying, "You're quite clever. I still think letting the law punish you is more satisfying."

"Hmph, fine, let the law punish me. If the law decides I must pay with my life, I'm willing to face the bullet," Huang Zongyuan said, his backbone restored. Clearly, he thought if Ye Xiao had killed him right then, he'd have no recourse but to accept his fate. But now, if he was handed over to the Guard Bureau, Shi Qiang of the Black Dragon Company and Mr. Songzhu of the Mountain Wolf Group would definitely save him.

Seeing Huang Zongyuan's apparently relaxed expression, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly stood up from the chair, then strode over to Huang Zongyuan.

Huang Zongyuan, now pale as a sheet from blood loss, was terrified when he saw Ye Xiao approaching and exclaimed, "What... what are you going to do? You said you were going to hand me over to the police, didn't you?"

Ye Xiao smiled broadly and said, "What do you think I'm going to do? Kill you? No, I never commit murder."

The spirits of those who had been killed by Ye Xiao could now seek out this unremorseful man.

Ye Xiao walked over to Huang Zongyuan, squatted down, and quickly pressed several points on Huang Zongyuan's bleeding arm. As soon as Ye Xiao applied pressure to these points, the bleeding significantly slowed down, at least not as severe as before.

Huang Zongyuan, seeing that Ye Xiao had actually stopped the bleeding, was immensely surprised, not understanding why Ye Xiao would save him.

Ye Xiao wasn't known for his mercy; if he were ruthless, he could think of a hundred ways to kill a man, all extremely cruel.

Ye Xiao's mercy wouldn't be extended to Huang Zongyuan, so there was a simple reason why he stopped the bleeding: he didn't want Huang Zongyuan to die so easily—it would be too lenient a fate for him.

Now that the blood had stopped, at least for a while, Ye Xiao wouldn't die anytime soon, so Ye Xiao returned to the chair and sat back down.

Huang Zongyuan, unaware of the sinister thoughts in Ye Xiao's mind, still thought Ye Xiao was worried about being investigated by the police if he died. Huang Zongyuan secretly vowed that if he saw Shi Qiang, he would ask him to use his connections to severely deal with Ye Xiao.

About ten minutes later, a barrage of alarm sounds blared below.

Hearing the sirens, Huang Zongyuan felt as if he were hearing the most beautiful music and immediately got excited.

"They're here. They're here," exclaimed an excited Huang Zongyuan.

Ye Xiao remained seated, watching Huang Zongyuan's expression clearly, saying nothing but giving a slight smile. He still sat unmoving in the chair, as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, at least ten police cars had stopped downstairs. Each police car carried at least three officers, including two riot squad vehicles, meaning a substantial number of riot police were also present.

A young man, not yet thirty, exited one of the prominent police cars. If anyone saw his epaulets, they'd be greatly surprised because the epaulets clearly showed that this young man was a second-level police inspector—a rank befitting only the head of the Guard Bureau in a city like Minghai City.

Indeed, this man was the head of the Minghai City Guard Bureau, Yang Ming.

After receiving a call from Ye Xiao, Yang Ming, although he was supposed to be off duty and heading home, immediately rushed to Jianjun Real Estate with a core police force.

"What exactly happened?" A female officer, as cold as she was beautiful, asked Yang Ming, because she wasn't previously informed by Yang Ming about this police operation, and moreover, deploying such extensive forces suggested a significant criminal element might be involved.

Yang Ming, usually very serious with everyone, faced the female officer with an unusually stern demeanor yet smiling as he said, "Brother Xiao called me, asking me to bring a large contingent here. There's a major case, specifically in Jianjun Real Estate's top floor, in Chairman Han Jianjun's office."

"Ye Xiao?" Song Jiamin, upon hearing Yang Ming's words, snorted and said, "It must be him. What great case could he have? I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill."

Yang Ming blushed at her words, but just then, several fully armed officers quickly approached Yang Ming.

"Report to the chief, there are several people lying inside the building, now in a comatose state."

Yang Ming and Song Jiamin heard the officer's report and immediately looked serious. Then, Yang Ming swiftly pulled out his service pistol, loaded it, and said sternly, "Follow me and storm in. The target is the chairman's office of Jianjun Real Estate on the top floor."

At that moment, the deputy chief Liu Qiliang, who had been promoted because of Ye Xiao, quickly stopped Yang Ming, who was about to charge in, and exclaimed with surprise, "Chief, how can you personally go in? You shouldn't be at the forefront, it's dangerous."

Yang Ming glanced at Liu Qiliang and instantly replied coldly on purpose, "As the chief, I should be at the forefront of the police force."

Of course, Yang Ming said this intentionally. If Ye Xiao hadn't been on the upper floor, Yang Ming would definitely not have gone up. But now, Ye Xiao was upstairs, and such opportunities to show his face were rare, so how could Yang Ming not go up personally?

Liu Qiliang had good intentions, but after being mocked, he immediately dared not speak.

Yang Ming was quite young, and in the eyes of others, being so young and already in the position of chief showed great promise for his future.

Yang Ming rushed into the entrance of Jianjun Real Estate and quickly got into the elevator.

Jianjun Real Estate had several stairway entrances, but only one went directly to the top floor. The reason was simple; that stairway could only be used by the chairman and the general manager.

Yang Ming directly went to that elevator and quickly arrived at the top floor.

After reaching the top floor, Yang Ming immediately ordered a search for the chairman's office. Today's police operation involved the best forces from the Minghai City Guard Bureau, so they quickly found the chairman's office and Yang Ming and Song Jiamin led the way in.

However, when they ran inside, they were immediately dumbfounded.

At that moment, inside the chairman's office, four bodies were stacked at the front, and there was another person on the floor with severe injuries and another with a bullet wound in the head, clearly dead.

The person sitting in the chair in front of the desk had his feet on the desk, a smile on his face.

Yang Ming and Song Jiamin naturally recognized Ye Xiao. However, the other officers who followed them in did not, so when they saw that the only uninjured person in the office was him, they immediately pointed their guns at the relaxed Ye Xiao sitting on the chair.

However, when these officers aimed their guns at Ye Xiao, Yang Ming was startled and slapped the nearby officer, shouting angrily, "Dammit, get out! Who told you to aim your gun at someone? Put away your guns! Captain Song and Deputy Chief Liu stay, everyone else get out."

Yang Ming's reaction was completely unexpected to everyone, leaving them puzzled as to why the new chief, known for his fairness and strictness, was so angry.

"Chief, this..." someone tried to speak.

But Yang Ming immediately shouted, "Get out!"

The officers quickly left and the door was shut.

At this moment, the most surprised person was Huang Zongyuan, lying on the floor in a sorry state, who was also startled by Yang Ming's actions. What was happening here?

But soon, he understood.

As the head of the Guard Bureau, Yang Ming immediately walked up, looked at Ye Xiao with concern, and said, "Brother Xiao, are you alright?"

When Yang Ming said this, Huang Zongyuan was completely taken aback.

Yang Ming, well known to him, had been frequently appearing on TV recently. The current Yang Ming was virtually a hero to the citizens of Minghai City, viewed by many ordinary people as a great just figure.

However, few people knew that Yang Ming's good reputation was entirely orchestrated by Ye Xiao from behind the scenes. Without Ye Xiao, there would be no such dual hero of Minghai City.

Ye Xiao looked at Huang Zongyuan on the floor with a smile, chuckled softly, and said, "Are you surprised? Don't be. I said I wouldn't let you die. I will definitely hand you over to the Guard Bureau, and I believe they will enforce the law impartially."

Huang Zongyuan was truly very surprised at the moment.

Then, Ye Xiao looked at Yang Ming and said, "Yang Ming, have someone take him away. I don't want him to die."

"Yes, Brother Xiao."
