Ye Xiao, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but chuckle. Jin Yina was truly a heroine, not only beautiful but also capable of fighting.

However, this was clearly not the end of it. As their leader, Zhang Zheng had seen his underling beaten. If he didn't step in, who would follow him in the future? Therefore, Zhang Zheng immediately strode over, reaching out to grab Jin Yina.

Jin Yina didn't see it coming, but the others did, especially Jin Liguo and Boss Jin, who both wanted to step in to stop it. But just at that moment, a shadow flashed by, and when Zhang Zheng's hand was about five centimeters from Jin Yina, he just couldn't move it any further forward.

Because someone had grabbed Zhang Zheng's wrist!

Zhang Zheng was slightly taken aback and then looked at the person who had grabbed his hand—it was a young man with delicate features.

Jin Yina felt something happening behind her and immediately turned to look. Ye Xiao had grabbed Zhang Zheng's hand, which was clearly reaching out towards her, but was intercepted in time by Ye Xiao.

Jin Yina was instantly furious.

"What do you think you're doing?" Jin Yina glared at Zhang Zheng.

At this moment, Zhang Zheng wasn't looking at Jin Yina but was glaring at Ye Xiao and angrily said, "What do you think you're doing? I'm a government official!"

Hearing Zhang Zheng's words, Ye Xiao just chuckled softly and said, "First of all, I'm not from Jins' Spicy Soup, so I absolutely don't have to be afraid of your so-called 'government official'. Second, you even want to lay your hands on such a beautiful lady. With such heavy-handedness, you don't deserve to call yourself a 'government official.' Third, if you don't disappear from here within a minute, I'm going to beat you up!"

Zhang Zheng had heard jokes before, but he had never heard such a laughable one. Was this really being said to him? He was always the one threatening others. When had anyone ever threatened him? And to do it in front of so many people was just too embarrassing.

Zhang Zheng's face was twisted with rage. Here, as the law enforcement official, didn't all the stall owners nod and bow when they saw him? Weren't they all respectful? Yet someone dared to make a fool of him in public. This was truly intolerable!

"Go to hell!" Zhang Zheng's other fist flew at Ye Xiao's face without hesitation. The punch was really fast, but it was only fast to ordinary people. To Ye Xiao, he found the punch painfully slow, so he very easily caught Zhang Zheng's fist.

Zhang Zheng was once again stunned; he couldn't believe that his fast punch had been caught by this guy. This was just too unbelievable.

But Ye Xiao didn't give him much time to think because Ye Xiao had already started to carry out his plan to thrash someone!

Ye Xiao's hand suddenly swung, and Zhang Zheng spun around like a top for several turns. When the dizzy Zhang Zheng faced Ye Xiao again, Ye Xiao slapped him across the face.

The slap was not light, and Zhang Zheng's nostrils immediately started bleeding, while he himself was flung aside, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Ha ha, so awesome!" Jin Yina, seeing Ye Xiao take Zhang Zheng down so swiftly that he couldn't get up, laughed heartily and walked up to Ye Xiao with admiration.

Ye Xiao turned to look at Jin Yina. She wasn't very tall, about 165 centimeters, and she wore flat shoes. More importantly, despite the cool weather, Jin Yina clearly wasn't one to be bothered by the cold and dressed quite minimally. Jin Yina stood by Ye Xiao's side, and when he turned, his gaze naturally fell on Jin Yina's chest. As with any woman, it was perky, but Jin Yina's seemed especially firm, perhaps due to the small size of her clothes, giving an almost bursting impression, which made Ye Xiao's mouth go dry.

Jin Yina could clearly see where Ye Xiao was looking and unexpectedly felt her face flush red.

But at this time, Boss Jin and Jin Liguo hurried over. Boss Jin went to help Zhang Zheng. Being older, what they feared most was causing trouble. If possible, they still hoped to get along peacefully, definitely not wanting any physical confrontations!

Yet now, this outsider had beaten up Zhang Zheng for their family matter. Although they should be grateful to him, Boss Jin, being a careful thinker, knew that once this outsider left, Zhang Zheng would inevitably take his anger out on the Jin family.

However, Jin Liguo had a different view. He had long wanted to give Zhang Zheng a good thrashing but never had the chance or the courage. Now, this friend he had just met had directly served Zhang Zheng a humiliating defeat in front of everyone.

"Ye Xiao, you're really amazing," Jin Liguo laughed heartily. "Today is truly satisfying."

Jin Liguo was in high spirits, but Ye Xiao just smiled lightly, turned, and laughed as he looked at Jin Liguo while also glancing at Jin Yina.

Jin Yina's nickname was Little Chili, which meant she was fearless and undaunted. When had she ever blushed? She never even considered such a thing. Embarrassment and blushing were usually not associated with Jin Yina. Her life motto was, "A gallant daughter of the jianghu doesn't sweat the small stuff, and acting coy is not her style."

But, after Ye Xiao had intentionally or unintentionally glanced at her chest just now, Jin Yina not only didn't feel like beating him up, but she also felt embarrassed!

Ye Xiao said, "Don't be too happy. I'm actually regretting making a move now!"

"What do you mean?" Jin Liguo looked at Ye Xiao with confusion and said, "Are you also afraid of getting involved with these people?"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, "I think they're the ones afraid of getting involved with me. However, even though I just helped you guys out, now that I think about it, I might have actually harmed Jins' Spicy Soup."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Jin Liguo thought it over carefully and finally felt that it was indeed true, Zhang Zheng would certainly take it out on Jins'. But then, on second thought, Jin Liguo realized that even if Zhang Zheng wasn't beaten up, he would still find all sorts of reasons to make trouble for Jins', with today's fine being the prime example!

Moreover, Zhang Zheng was also going to the Anti-Corruption Office to report his father for giving him two hundred yuan, which was no small matter for Jins'!

"Ye Xiao, you're overthinking it. For today's incident, we can only thank you. If it weren't for you, my sister Nana might have suffered," Jin Liguo said. "Nana, quickly thank Ye Xiao!"

Jin Yina glanced at the smiling Ye Xiao, which made her feel even more embarrassed.

Seeing that his sister didn't speak, Jin Liguo immediately looked at Jin Yina and discovered her face was flushed red, which shocked him!

"Nana, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Jin Liguo asked with concern.

"You're the one getting heated," Jin Yina shot back at Jin Liguo, then turned and walked away, adding, "I'm going home!"

Jin Liguo was immediately puzzled. What was wrong with his sister today? Why did she seem so off?

"Ye Xiao, don't mind her. My sister is just spoiled!" Jin Liguo said to Ye Xiao with a laugh.

Jin Liguo had no idea what had happened, but Ye Xiao knew exactly, so naturally he harbored no dissatisfaction toward Jin Yina. Instead, he was all smiles in his heart.

However, at this moment, they heard Zhang Zheng's voice again!

"Boss Jin, if I don't drive your stall out of this snack street, then I'm not Zhang Zheng!" At this time, Zhang Zheng had recovered and, supported by his underlings, was feeling incredibly angry.

When had he ever been humiliated like this? But today, he was slapped hard by some stranger and had even performed a 'spinning top' maneuver for all to see. He couldn't bear to think about it; the more he thought, the more humiliating and infuriating it became!

"Mr. Zhang, let's talk this out properly, don't be angry," Boss Jin said to Zhang Zheng, his voice lowered humbly.

Zhang Zheng grabbed Boss Jin by the collar, originally wanting to throw a punch, but when he saw Jin Liguo and Ye Xiao approach, with Ye Xiao still smirking at Zhang Zheng, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly released Boss Jin's collar, saying as he left, "I'll definitely be back."

"That guy thinks he's the Big Bad Wolf huh!" Ye Xiao said with a light laugh.

Jin Liguo walked up to Boss Jin and said with concern, "Dad, are you okay?"

Boss Jin sighed, pulled out cigarettes, handed one to Jin Liguo and one to Ye Xiao, and then said, "I'm fine."

Ye Xiao accepted the cigarette, able to see the helplessness on Boss Jin's face.

Perhaps, at this moment, Boss Jin was very resentful towards Ye Xiao, as today's events would definitely impact Jins' Spicy Soup.

Ye Xiao felt a bitter smile in his heart. When faced with those who liked to bully others, he just couldn't help wanting to teach them a lesson!

After the recent commotion, two-thirds of Jins' Spicy Soup's customers had left, which stood in stark contrast to the previously full seating.

Boss Jin sat on the stool without a word, simply smoking.

Ye Xiao and Jin Liguo exchanged a glance, the latter's eyes also filled with helplessness.

"Ye Xiao, you better leave quickly. Zhang Zheng is not someone to be trifled with, and he's extremely petty. He might even bring people over to cause you trouble. He used to be a street hoodlum, very ruthless," Jin Liguo said to Ye Xiao with worry.
