Song Jiamin couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Xiao's words. However, the fact that Ye Xiao could still joke around indicated that he really was fine, which eased Song Jiamin a bit. It appeared that Ye Xiao truly had no issue.
After seeing Song Jiamin leave, Ye Xiao lay down on the bed.
Glancing at the time, it wasn't too late. What to do with all this free time? He surely couldn't just go to sleep here—his prime years couldn't be wasted in bed.
After some thought, Ye Xiao picked up his phone and dialed a number.
It wasn't long before the message "Hello, the number you have dialed is currently busy" came through the line.
He wouldn't answer an unknown call!
Ye Xiao let out a slight smile and then sent a text message to the number, a simple four-word message: "It's Ye Xiao!"
Less than ten seconds later, Ye Xiao's phone rang, and sure enough, it was the number he had just contacted!
"Is this Ye Xiao?" Liu Muyun's voice came from the other end!
This number belonged to Liu Muyun, who usually didn't answer unknown numbers.
Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Who else could it be if not your dear husband? You didn't even accept my number."
"Humph, can you blame me? It's because you didn't give me your new number." Liu Muyun said, "Are you still in Minghai City?"
"Yes, what about you? Have you arrived?" Ye Xiao asked.
Liu Muyun said, "Yes, I have a performance tonight in Bird City, so I went there early. Sigh, I have to head to Suihai tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be able to see you again."
"What, missing my bedroom skills already?" Ye Xiao chuckled.
"What are you saying? Do you think I only miss that side of you?" Liu Muyun said with coquettish indignation.
Ye Xiao immediately said, "Heh, of course not, Muyun. I'd also love to be with you every day, but you know I can't do that right now."
Liu Muyun obediently said, "I understand, Ye Xiao. I hope you can find your uncle and auntie soon. You said once you do, then..."
Liu Muyun stopped talking.
"Then what?" Ye Xiao asked playfully.
"Humph, you're still playing dumb!"
"Where have I played dumb? Muyun, I swear, as soon as I find my parents, I'll definitely make you Mrs. Ye!" Ye Xiao promised.
"You said it, no going back on your word," Liu Muyun immediately said upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.
"Of course, I won't go back on it!"
"Ye Xiao, I miss you!"
"I miss you too."
"I want to see you right now!"
"Right now? We're hundreds of kilometers apart. There's plenty of time in the future, behave!" Ye Xiao soothed her.
"Alright," Liu Muyun said.
Ye Xiao and Liu Muyun sweet-talked for a while, but because Liu Muyun needed to start preparing for her performance, they reluctantly ended the call.
After hanging up with Liu Muyun, Ye Xiao's phone rang again, and this time it was Ling Hengyu's name that appeared.
"Uncle Ling!" Ye Xiao answered the call.
Ling Hengyu said, "Ye Xiao, everything okay?"
"All good."
"That's good then, I was going to help you out," Ling Hengyu stated!
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Uncle Ling, there's no need. I can handle this myself. Since someone wants to play legal games, I'll play along."
"Ye Xiao, these Heng Zhiyuan Group guys aren't easy to deal with. You have to be very careful!" Ling Hengyu warned.
"Yeah, I understand. Oh, and I've heard Wu Xinyuan wants to arrest you, so be extra cautious, and it's best to not let Shuya stay with you!" Ye Xiao immediately said when he thought about Ling Shuya going to find Ling Hengyu.
Ling Hengyu frowned upon hearing Ye Xiao's words but replied, "Don't worry about me. Because of the Heavenly Book incident, I've spent money to hire more than a dozen experts of Xuan and Yellow Rank from outside. There won't be any trouble, and yes, I will get Shuya to leave as soon as possible."
Hearing Ling Hengyu's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but silently chuckle to himself. Having money sure was good, being able to hire a dozen experts all at once; no wonder there were constant rumors of people going after Ling Hengyu. Perhaps those who attacked Hengyu just never stopped, simply unable to best Hengyu's bodyguards.
At the very top floor of the Heng Zhiyuan Group building.
A large screen displayed Cao Zhongfa's face.
"Zhongfa, stay calm in the provincial capital and take care of Biner's injuries. Ye Xiao is in custody at the Guard Bureau, and we've got evidence. Whether Ling Hengyu comes at us hard or soft, we are not afraid. What can he really do to us at Heng Zhiyuan?" Wu Quanen said, looking at the serious face of Cao Zhongfa on the screen.
Cao Zhongfa was indeed in the provincial capital. His son Cao Bin had been crippled by Ye Xiao, and indeed, there had been some delays at that time. Now, Cao Bin's condition was not optimistic, and Cao Zhongfa deeply loathed the man who had crippled his son!
Cao Zhongfa looked through the network at Wu Quanen and the others in the office. They were Wu Quanen, Li Dexi, and Guo Pincheng.
"Wu, Li, Guo, I leave Minghai City in your hands. Before I return to Minghai, I hope the bastard who injured my Biner will suffer a thousand times more pain than my son did," Cao Zhongfa said.
Upon hearing Cao Zhongfa's words, Guo Pincheng secretly smiled. He hadn't found much information on Ye Xiao, not because there was none to be found, but because he had only discovered three things. First, the head of Minghai City's Guard Bureau was replaced and it was directly related to Ye Xiao, although the specifics were unclear. Second, the newly established Heavenly Gate Security Company in Minghai City had close connections to Ye Xiao. Third, Ye Xiao was romantically linked to both daughters of Song Jianping.
From these three facts alone, Guo Pincheng could tell that Ye Xiao was no ordinary man.
At that moment, Wu Quanen and Li Dexi looked to Cao Zhongfa and said, "Zhongfa, rest assured, if Heng Zhiyuan can't deal with someone like him, we might as well disband!"
Cao Zhongfa nodded, then suddenly turned to Guo Pincheng and said, "Guo, something on your mind?"
Caught off guard by Cao Zhongfa's question, Guo Pincheng jolted, then quickly looked up at the large screen and said, "I am just concerned about the condition of young master Cao Bin. If the doctors here aren't cutting it, perhaps we should consider going abroad."
Guo Pincheng certainly didn't dare to reveal his intentions to secretly contact Ye Xiao to Cao Zhongfa. If he did, Cao Zhongfa might have skinned him alive.
Cao Zhongfa sighed and turned to Wu Quanen, "If it really doesn't work out, we might have no choice but to do just that. Anyway, I appreciate you taking care of Heng Zhiyuan's affairs, Wu."
"Of course, it's our business!" Wu Quanen said.
Afterwards, they discussed how to deal with Ye Xiao a bit more, and then they disconnected the network!
