The woman walked over with a smile, looking at Ye Xiao, she said, "Alright!"

Not knowing whether the woman was some kind of official here, as soon as she approached, she immediately turned to the man from before and said, "Go pour some tea!"

The man's face was burning at this moment, and clearly, the embarrassment Ye Xiao had just put him through was indeed quite unsightly!

Afterward, Ye Xiao and the woman walked over to the Haval H6 next to Ling Shuya and Tang Rong, where she explained the features to Ye Xiao with a very professional smile!

"Beautiful lady, not only are you pretty, but your customer service is also excellent. I'm very happy right now!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, looking at the woman.

The woman immediately replied, "This is what I should do. If you are not particularly fond of this car, we also have other car models here, such as the Tengyi C30 or Tengyi C50. Their performance is also quite good, and because they have turbocharging, they are relatively fuel-efficient. After the break-in period, their advantages will become apparent!"

"Sister, you're not only beautiful and good at servicing but also very skilled at marketing!" Ling Shuya giggled and said, "Our not-so-handsome handsome guy here probably has an impulse to invite you out for dinner. I wonder if you would grace him with your company?"

The woman quickly said, "Little sister, although I consider myself not ugly, compared to you, I'm truly a plain Jane. Didn't you see when you just came in, all our staff and some customers were stunned? Otherwise, our staff wouldn't have upset this gentleman here by trying to get an extra glance at you!"

The woman spoke very artfully. If she had directly complimented Ling Shuya for her beauty, it would surely have seemed flattering. However, she started by rating her own looks positively, showing confidence. Then she proceeded to say Ling Shuya was even more beautiful, and she even provided specific examples. This not only made Ling Shuya feel good and willing to accept the compliment, but it also softened the earlier slight by the store's staff.

"Sister, you're joking. Ye Xiao, this car seems great. Should we buy it or not?" Ling Shuya was in a great mood at this point.

If a man goes shopping with a woman, as long as the sellers catch the woman's heart, they've essentially caught the man's wallet, too. This was certainly true!

Ling Shuya might have been clever, but she couldn't avoid falling into this sweet trap!

Ye Xiao knew this was a marketing tactic by the woman, but since he was here to buy a car, he of course wanted to hear pleasant things. After all, the customer is always right!

Ye Xiao said, "Buy, of course. Can we have a test drive?"

"No problem!" The woman agreed readily.

Then, Ye Xiao took the Haval H6 for a spin around the auto city and, feeling that there were no issues with the car, he then got out.

"Not bad. Can I drive the car away in a short time?" he asked.

"Of course. I just don't know if you'll be paying in full or in installments. If it's in installments, I can explain the rates to you," the woman said.

"No need to explain, cash payment. It's now 6:15 pm; can you get it done before 7:00 pm?" Ye Xiao put forward his request.

"Although it's a bit tight on time, I'll do my best," the woman said with a smile.

Perhaps because it was getting late and there was no one else processing a car purchase, Ye Xiao received the temporary license plate very quickly!

They left Hongyuan Auto City at only 6:45 pm; the entire process took just half an hour!

"I bet that male staff member is fuming!" Ling Shuya said, giggling while sitting in the passenger seat.

Ye Xiao remarked, "I heard there's a commission for selling cars!"

"So that staff member must be cursing you right now!" Ling Shuya said with a laugh.

"No way around it, who let him be a man? I just don't get excited dealing with men!" Ye Xiao said with a beaming smile.

"Big brother, you're not so pure, are you?" Tang Rong immediately said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao let out a chuckle while Ling Shuya added fuel to the fire, saying, "That's right, that's his true nature."

The car wasn't too expensive compared to a Q-Rui, but it was double the price, a whole 120,000, and it even included a full set of car accessories, like floor mats!

The three of them chatted and laughed, when suddenly, Ye Xiao slammed on the brakes!

Ling Shuya and Tang Rong were nearly thrown into an awkward position by the sudden stop!

Ling Shuya immediately glared at Ye Xiao angrily and said, "What are you doing?"

"The invoice, the invoice!" Ye Xiao exclaimed with shock, "We haven't taken the invoice yet!"

"Alright, I am like the invoice. As long as I am here, the company will definitely reimburse you. Even if you don't take anything, they'll reimburse you!" Ling Shuya really couldn't stand it anymore!

Ye Xiao then finally started driving again, sighing as he did, "That's good, good. Otherwise, the money would have been in serious jeopardy. That's equivalent to more than two months of my salary!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya was suddenly seized with the urge to slap someone. Did this guy really need this salary?

"Ye Xiao, can we not pretend? Do you not know how much money you have in your hands right now?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, you could say I have a bit!"

Ling Shuya was at a loss for words. What did he mean by a bit? Wasn't it more than a hundred million?

Ye Xiao continued to speed down the road, and after a while, Ling Shuya suddenly said, "Ye Xiao, if it weren't for your parents' situation, would you still stay here?"

Ye Xiao didn't respond. In fact, he sometimes asked himself that question. If there were clues now, showing that his parents were somewhere else, would he continue to stay here?

Ye Xiao really wasn't sure!

Ye Xiao's only purpose now was to find his parents. He wanted to know more why his parents had abandoned him, leaving him as an orphan with no parents!

Although Ye Xiao didn't answer, Ling Shuya already knew the answer herself. If someone were to immediately inform Ye Xiao of his origins, he would undoubtedly throw everything in Minghai City aside to search for his parents!

However, for this, Ling Shuya would not blame him at all. After all, this was Ye Xiao's responsibility, as well as his unique right!

The Haval H6 slowly stopped in front of the gates of Minghai Academy; school had just let out.

Ling Shuya called Zhou Yuyan to ask where they were and found out they were at Su Yun's place, and they were already cooking!

Upon hearing that Su Yun and the others were cooking, Ling Shuya immediately became very excited!

Her excitement, of course, was not without reason; Su Yun's cooking skills were quite remarkable!

However, when Ye Xiao was about to go with Ling Shuya and Tang Rong to Su Yun's house, his phone suddenly rang. Looking at it, the caller was Zhao Dapeng!

"Dapeng, what's up?" Ye Xiao turned off the engine, ready to get out of the car.

"Brother Xiao, I've taken care of the matter you wanted. His name is Li Cangjie; he is one of the three stewards of the Black Dragon Company, and also the weakest among them. He seldom speaks in the Black Dragon Company, but the man is meticulous and has schemes laid deeply. Also, there's something important: he has a son named Li Bo. When he was young, he got into a fight with Huang Zongyuan's son, and as a result, Huang Zongyuan kicked him, leading to a broken leg. Now, he is disabled. Because of this, although Li Cangjie seems to be friendly with Huang Zongyuan on the surface, he is the one who holds the deepest grudge against Huang Zongyuan. At the time, Shi Qiang was also implicated for unfair conduct, so Li Cangjie has held a grudge against Shi Qiang as well," Zhao Dapeng explained.

Hearing Zhao Dapeng's words, Ye Xiao immediately felt that this was indeed a person he could use!

"When can I meet him?" Ye Xiao asked.

Zhao Dapeng said, "Tonight is possible. Hmm, we can choose our newly opened casino."

"The casino is open for business?" Ye Xiao was surprised to hear Zhao Dapeng's words because the casino was open much earlier than what Huang Feng had mentioned regarding the opening time.

Zhao Dapeng immediately said, "Yes, the casino is now open, and since Li Cangjie is fond of gambling, it won't raise suspicions if he comes to play!"

Li Cangjie was one of the big shots of the Black Dragon Company. If such a person was discovered to be frequently dealing with people from Heavenly Gate, it would certainly arouse Shi Qiang's suspicions, so a place that was not easily detected by the Black Dragon Company's informants was necessary!

Casinos generally have front and back entrances, and since Li Cangjie was a gambler, the casino was an excellent location!

Regarding Zhao Dapeng's arrangements, Ye Xiao was very satisfied; his careful thinking showed Ye Xiao he had chosen the right person.

After speaking a few more sentences with Zhao Dapeng, Ye Xiao hung up the phone.

"You're going out?" Ling Shuya asked.

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Yes."

Ling Shuya said, "But Sister Su must be cooking your meal."

"I can't help it; once the game starts, it's not something I can end just because I want to. You guys go up; I'll be back soon," Ye Xiao said with a bitter smile.

Ye Xiao was absolutely right. Once the game starts, it really isn't something that just anyone can end. Although Ye Xiao was very powerful, it wasn't like he could just go and kill all those who opposed him. Although Ye Xiao could kill without batting an eye, killing someone always depended on the situation, and after all, it's not the most delightful thing to do!

Looking at Ling Shuya and Tang Rong appearing somewhat disappointed, Ye Xiao also felt somewhat helpless. Initially, he had wished to create an ironclad defense to protect Ling Shuya, but as time passed, he increasingly realized that although Minghai Academy was already well-protected, there were still some hidden forces he couldn't see or touch. Ye Xiao needed to know who these people were. He believed that the only way he could exit was to leave Minghai City, but how could Ye Xiao possibly leave Minghai City now?
