"Ah?" Everyone was stunned—no one had expected Ye Xiao to act so ruthlessly, to incapacitate Cao Bin in the blink of an eye with a flash of lightning speed!

"Cao Bin!" Wu Feng, Li Bei, and the unmoving Guo Chuan, all rushed to Cao Bin's side, crouching down to look at him as he had already passed out from the pain. By this time, Cao Bin's legs and feet had even started to deform!

Wu Feng and Li Bei were impulsive by nature, so without a word, they immediately stood up, looking as if they wanted to confront Ye Xiao. Only the youth named Guo Chuan, who resembled a student, stayed squatting by Cao Bin, gazing at the unconscious man without stirring an inch.

"Who on earth are you?" Wu Feng and Li Bei confronted Ye Xiao, and at this moment, the fury on their faces could have ignited the entire building ablaze if it were flames!

"Me? Haha, your kind is not worthy of knowing my name!" Since he had already taken action, there was no need to pretend to be afraid any longer. What he needed to do was simple: to let these societal scum know there is always a higher sky above!

"What?" Wu Feng and Li Bei were shocked by Ye Xiao's words. No one had expected Ye Xiao to be so arrogant, even more so than the four young masters of Hengzhengyuan, and they found it unbelievable. Before, Ye Xiao had been soft-spoken in the presence of the Hengzhengyuan four, which made everyone, including the four young masters, think Ye Xiao was a coward. But now, in just a matter of minutes, Ye Xiao seemed to have transformed into a completely different person!

"Fight!" At this point, Wu Feng and Li Bei had completely forgotten that Cao Bin was a third-degree black belt, while they were not even black belts themselves. But at this moment, their brotherly loyalty muddled their minds!

However, as they raised their fists, ready to strike Ye Xiao, suddenly, a loud shout came from afar!

"Stop!"

The deep and powerful voice immediately drew everyone's attention!

Ye Xiao also looked over and saw a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a white shirt, walking over leisurely, followed by another man of a similar age!

"Uncle Guo!" Wu Feng and Li Bei immediately approached the middle-aged man when they saw him!

At that moment, Ling Shuya whispered to Ye Xiao, "This is Guo Pincheng!"

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Ye Xiao immediately looked at Guo Pincheng again. So, this was one of the four tycoons of Hengzhengyuan, Guo Pincheng. That meant he was likely Guo Chuan's father!

After arriving, Guo Pincheng first shouted to the onlookers, "Don't crowd around here; does watching kids play house amuse you?"

Guo Pincheng's commanding presence made many people step aside. The four young masters of Hengzhengyuan were already formidable, and this man evidently had authority over them, indicating his impressive power.

Wu Feng and Li Bei quickly came before Guo Pincheng!

"You four lads, always causing trouble—what's happened this time?" Guo Pincheng, saying this, suddenly noticed Cao Bin lying on the ground and furrowed his brows with concern.

"Uncle Guo, Cao Bin's limbs were broken by this guy!" Li Bei immediately exclaimed to Guo Pincheng, pointing at Ye Xiao!

Guo Pincheng, upon hearing Li Bei's words, quickly stepped over to check on Cao Bin's limbs, and seeing the bones dislocated, he was alarmingly startled. Then he promptly stood up and turned to look at Ye Xiao, whom Li Bei was pointing to.

"What sort of person are you, to be so viciously cruel?" Guo Pincheng coldly stared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao simply smiled and responded, "Director Guo Pincheng, one of the four great tycoons of Hengzhengyuan, indeed a man of uncommon virtue—your unspoken authority is quite intimidating. I must admit, I'm feeling somewhat fearful!"

Though Ye Xiao claimed to be intimidated, any discerning eye could tell that he was mocking Guo Pincheng!

"Where did this arrogant brat come from, daring to lay hands on the four young masters of Hengzhengyuan? It seems you've grown tired of living!" The person speaking was Guo Pincheng's assistant, who immediately took out his phone, and it appeared he was calling security!

Guo Pincheng did not stop his subordinate from calling security, tacitly allowing it.

At this moment, Guo Pincheng's eyes glinted coldly at Ye Xiao, obviously trying to intimidate him with his aura. However, to his surprise, Ye Xiao showed no sign of fear, but continued to smile as if Guo Pincheng was giving him the gentlest of smiles!

"Uncle Guo, do you still remember me?" Just then, Ling Shuya stepped forward with a smile, looking at Guo Pincheng.

Guo Pincheng suddenly heard someone calling him "Uncle Guo" and immediately looked at Ling Shuya with great puzzlement. However, after thinking for less than two seconds, he immediately recognized who Ling Shuya was!

"Isn't this Brother Hengyu's daughter, my niece Shuya?" After Guo Pincheng realized Ling Shuya was Ling Hengyu's daughter, his face softened considerably, and with a smile, he said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, niece Shuya, and you've become even more beautiful. These old eyes of mine couldn't recognize you were here, which was my mistake."

"Uncle Guo, what are you talking about? It's Shuya's fault for not visiting Uncle Guo for such a long time." At this moment, Ling Shuya put on a face of sweet innocence, which caused Ye Xiao standing beside her to be thoroughly taken aback. Ling Shuya was really too good at pretending; she was clearly a girl full of young lady's airs, and now, she acted as if she were the girl next door.

Guo Pincheng immediately chuckled and said, "Niece Shuya is indeed sensible. Please give my regards to your father. And this young man with niece Shuya, could it be, do you know each other?"

Ling Shuya glanced at Ye Xiao next to her and then said to Guo Pincheng with a smile, "Uncle Guo, he's my bodyguard. He's usually very mild-mannered and only gets into fights when I am in danger. I've already warned him that even if I'm harassed, he's not allowed to casually beat people up, but this guy just doesn't listen."

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Guo Pincheng was immediately surprised. Ling Shuya's words had a hidden meaning—she was telling Guo Pincheng that her bodyguard did hit someone, but it was because Ling Shuya, the employer, was being harassed. And who was the one harassing Ling Shuya?

Guo Pincheng broke out into a cold sweat at the thought. What kind of person was Ling Hengyu? He was notoriously overprotective and always gave in to his daughter's requests. Who would dare to bully Ling Hengyu's daughter? That would be seeking death.

And Cao Bin being beaten was probably because he had harassed Ling Shuya. Guo Pincheng thought to himself and then immediately turned to his son, Guo Chuan, and sternly said, "Chuan, did you bully niece Shuya? I'll break your legs!"

"Dad, I didn't, I wasn't even speaking just now. Sister Shuya, you must stand up for me!" Guo Chuan, seeing his father glaring at him, was shocked and quickly pleaded with Ling Shuya.

Ling Shuya said, "Uncle Guo, Brother Chuan really didn't bully me. It's just that these guys, they tried to pick on us and wanted us to go out with them and even used very offensive language... Uncle Guo, you must stand up for me. If you don't, I'll go to my dad, oh no, I'm calling my dad right now!"

Ling Shuya's acting was absolutely top-notch. As she spoke, her eyes began to redden, and she looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, even pulling out her phone as if she was going to call her father right then.

Seeing this, Guo Pincheng thought to himself, how could he let this happen? Who was Ling Hengyu? He was the helmsman of the massive empire, Hengyu Group. Although Hengzhiyuan Group was also financially strong, it simply couldn't clash head-on with Hengyu Group!

"Niece Shuya, don't be angry. I will give you a satisfactory explanation, and because of this incident, Cao Bin is already seriously injured. I think we should take him to the hospital first. All the expenses for you and your friends tonight are on me!" Guo Pincheng was indeed frightened out of his wits!

Hearing Guo Pincheng's words, Ling Shuya seemed a bit distressed and frowned, "Is that really okay?"

Seeing Ling Shuya's expression, Ye Xiao couldn't help but give a wry smile and then looked at Guo Pincheng, saying, "Mr. Guo, let's leave today's matters at that. Miss Ling still wants to go shopping. If Cao Bin can get to a hospital soon, he might still be saved. If it's too late, heh, I can't guarantee anything."

"Young man, being too ruthless isn't good for you," Guo Pincheng looked at Ye Xiao and said coldly!

Ye Xiao shrugged, unconcerned!

At this moment, about a dozen security guards sent by the security department arrived in a formidable array, ready for a fight.

But when they arrived and were about to take action, Guo Pincheng ordered them to carry Cao Bin away, and then he quickly followed.

Watching Guo Pincheng and the four young masters of Hengzhiyuan leave, Ling Shuya immediately smirked with pride, looked at Ye Xiao, and asked, "Ye Xiao, how was my performance just now?"

"Mediocre," Ye Xiao responded.

"How could it be mediocre? Didn't you see Guo Pincheng was already worried?" Ling Shuya said, "This should settle the matter!"

"Settled?" Ye Xiao softly laughed. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and no one gets beaten for nothing. Who knows what kind of storm might come in the future, but for now, it looked to be temporarily resolved.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Tang Rong quickly came to Ye Xiao's side with concern.

"Heh, big brother is fine. Rongrong, are you okay? Ah? Your arm is a bit red. I really should go teach him a lesson properly!"

"How would you teach him any more? His arm is already broken," Lan Lan said immediately.

"It could be broken worse," Ye Xiao shot Lan Lan a triumphant wink.
