"You..." Daoge looked at Ye Xiao's smiling face and suddenly got startled; he couldn't react at all. The situation was a bit different from what he had imagined.

"Hey, buddy, she's a beauty after all," Ye Xiao said with a light chuckle, looking at Daoge. "Isn't it a bit against the rules of the underworld to keep her all to yourself?"

Daoge was a regular on this route, and he always bullied others; no one ever dared to talk to him like that! Once Daoge regained his composure, he immediately stabbed fiercely at Ye Xiao's face with the knife in his hand.

"What?" At that moment, Jiang Miaoke clearly saw Daoge's action. She hadn't noticed how Ye Xiao had gotten close to them and couldn't understand how he could still manage to smile in that situation. The sharp tip of the knife thrust at Ye Xiao with incredible speed; in Miaoke's eyes, it seemed impossible for him to dodge it.

However, that was not the case!

Who was Ye Xiao? In just a flick of his finger, he could turn Daoge into dust, so why would he be afraid of this small knife? So when the knife was stabbed at Ye Xiao, he didn't move from where he was standing, but his hand did.

At that time, Ye Xiao was still holding onto that fat man, whom he clutched tightly in his hand. With a slight movement of his hand, the sharp blade made intimate contact with the fat man's chubby body!

Blood sprayed all over Daoge's face!

"Damn!" Daoge was shocked by his own stab. This fat man had some connections with him, but now...

"Oh my goodness, older brother, you've committed grievous bodily harm here. Look how deep you stabbed with that knife; the fat man has passed out," Ye Xiao said in surprise, looking at the fat man.

Daoge's hand subconsciously released the knife. He really couldn't understand how the fat man ended up taking a stab for Ye Xiao. That's just nonsensical! Who was with whom?

But Daoge wasn't stupid; looking at Ye Xiao's deliberately exaggerated expression, he knew that Ye Xiao was definitely involved. By now, the thin man had fainted, and the fat man had been stabbed by him and fainted too.

"Fuck, I'll kill you!" Daoge roared, then reached for something at his lower back. However, when his hand came out again, Jiang Miaoke was horrified.

"Gun!" Miaoke exclaimed.

Ye Xiao also saw the gun, but he just gave a wry smile, knowing that Daoge's gun was clearly a replica, at best useful for shooting pellets. Of course, it was enough against ordinary people.

But, unfortunately, was he dealing with ordinary people? Obviously not!

*Snap!*

That wasn't the sound of a gunshot. Although Daoge had drawn his pistol, he didn't get a chance to shoot before Ye Xiao slapped him across the face, and then his head banged against the body of the car, knocking Daoge out cold.

Ye Xiao was quick, and Jiang Miaoke didn't even have a chance to react before she saw Daoge go down.

"Are you okay?" Ye Xiao asked, looking at Jiang Miaoke, who now resembled a frightened deer, and lightly smiled.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's question, Miaoke came back to her senses. She never believed that there were real heroes in the world. After all, who dares to be a hero these days when doing so usually requires a price? But at that moment, she genuinely saw Ye Xiao as a hero.

So, when Ye Xiao spoke softly to her, Miaoke's face turned rosy, and she just lowered her head, too shy to speak.

Ye Xiao didn't mind Miaoke's silence; instead, he chuckled and said, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. You should probably not meddle in affairs that aren't your concern; otherwise, you'll just bring trouble upon yourself."

Ye Xiao felt that there was no need to stay any longer. After all, if he stayed, Miaoke might think that he was also coveting her beauty.

Although Ye Xiao indeed was that kind of person, he was actually on his way to Bird City to handle some important business. If he got entangled with these girls now, wouldn't that be too...

Thus, Ye Xiao headed straight for the next car.

"Ah..." Jiang Miaoke suddenly spoke.

Ye Xiao stopped but didn't turn around!

Jiang Miaoke felt a bit nervous. At this moment, Ye Xiao's behavior had truly captivated her. Originally, she thought Ye Xiao would take the opportunity to ask for a favor in return. However, to her surprise, Ye Xiao just walked away.

"Don't stay here any longer. We're not far from Bird City now. Just find a random carriage to stay in for a while. These people and the train staff might be connected, and the situation here could cause misunderstandings," Ye Xiao advised.

"Where are you going?" asked Jiang Miaoke.

"Haha, of course I'm finding a place to hide. As someone with no identity or background, having caused trouble, shouldn't I run away? Haha!" After saying that, Ye Xiao pushed open the door of another carriage and walked straight through.

Jiang Miaoke glanced at the unconscious villains on the ground and quickly followed him to that carriage. However, when she ran into the carriage, she didn't see Ye Xiao. This was very strange for Jiang Miaoke, since all train carriages are interconnected; typically, you could see through from the first to the last several carriages.

As Jiang Miaoke ran further away, at the entrance of the carriage, inside a room marked 'WC', Ye Xiao shook off the water where he was hurt and muttered, "Damn, could holding in urine be bad for the kidneys?"

The train staff quickly learned about the incident on the train. However, the culprits, including Dao Ge, were previously known offenders at the Guard Bureau and were frequent offenders there. Seeing Dao Ge holding a fake gun when they found him, the train staff, though they promptly investigated, dared not publicize it. There were so many people on the train, and by the time the train reached Xuan Bird City East Station, the staff hadn't figured out what exactly happened. Dao Ge and his companions were at a disadvantage this time, as many had seen Dao Ge threatening Jiang Miaoke with a knife on the train.

At that time, about ten or more carriages away from the scene, an energetic young man followed the crowd off the train.

"Bird City, here I come!" Ye Xiao, looking at the Bird City train station which was several times larger than that of Minghai City, muttered to himself.

The Bird City train station was really huge. Ye Xiao ran left and right with the crowd, went over sky bridges, and walked through tunnels. It was quite a while before he finally managed to leave the train station!

"Hey, young man, where are you going? I'll take you there!" A middle-aged taxi driver, showing his yellow-stained teeth, laughed heartily at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at the middle-aged man, walked forward a few steps but then stopped and looked around in all directions.

The middle-aged man had been driving a taxi in Bird City for over a decade and was quite a slick character. He could tell right away that Ye Xiao was probably visiting Bird City for the first time. He was thrilled, thinking today he'd caught a big fish.

"Young man, it's your first time in Bird City, right? Bird City is a big city, unlike the smaller ones that can't compare to it. Bird City is well-connected, and it's easy to get lost if you're not careful. It's best to take a cab like mine. I can take you directly to your destination, and I guarantee I won't take you on a detour," the middle-aged man laughed.

Listening to the middle-aged man, Ye Xiao could see he was trying to con him. However, he then thought it over and realized that there really wasn't much to con out of him, because the very important issue he faced was still unresolved!

"Uncle, you should look for other passengers. I don't even know where I'm going. I can't just ride around in your taxi aimlessly," Ye Xiao said with a wry smile.

He really didn't know where to go. Although he had come with the mission to find Wu Laoliu, the problem was, where was Wu Laoliu? There wasn't the slightest clue.

Observing Ye Xiao, who was dressed in old clothes and looked quite young and a bit desolate, the middle-aged man quickly deduced that Ye Xiao must have come to the city to seek work. He promptly smiled and said, "Young man, if I'm not mistaken, you must have come to Bird City seeking opportunities. Bird City is a metropolis, and there are definitely more opportunities here compared to other places. So, young man, if you don't know where to go, I can suggest you check out the labor market in Bird City. I know a big labor market where jobs are quite good. Young folks shouldn't be too hasty, first settle down in Bird City, and who knows, maybe later on, there'll be an opportunity for you to soar high and become one of Bird City's entrepreneurs."

Although Ye Xiao felt the taxi driver might be flattering him, he also felt that there was merit in the middle-aged man's advice. Secure a job first, settle down, and then take it slow in searching for Wu Laoliu. Haste makes waste.

"Uncle, the labor market you mentioned isn't far from here, right?" Ye Xiao inquired.

"Of course, it's not far. Young man, just look at me, I have an honest face. I definitely won't cheat you. Bird City is huge, and the labor market isn't nearby. The nearest one isn't close either, but I know that it's very easy to find work there. Young people need to be grounded," the middle-aged man said with the demeanor of an elder.

Listening to the middle-aged man, Ye Xiao found it quite reasonable. For now, he would play the role of a worker who had just arrived in the city. Perhaps by chance, he could find Wu Laoliu!

"Alright, uncle, take me there. I also want to find a job quickly and settle down in Bird City," Ye Xiao said with a very serious expression.

"No problem, absolutely no problem!" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the middle-aged man was overjoyed inside, having indeed encountered a fat sheep today—no, rather, a naive sheep!
