"After you left yesterday, Yang Hangtian came again, and he brought over ten people with him to look for you, hehe, just my luck to have such misfortune," Liuu Erkui bitterly smiled.

Listening to Liu Erkui, Ye Xiao immediately understood that Liu Erkui, now in the hospital, clearly had a direct connection with Yang Hangtian.

"Where are you?" Ye Xiao asked.

"In the hospital. But, I grew up doing farm work, so I can still handle a beating," Liu Erkui said. "Alas, it looks like my chances of becoming a city person are slim now."

Ye Xiao said, "Which hospital? I'll come over now."

"No need, it actually has nothing to do with you. It's just my bad luck. Yang Hangtian is not an ordinary person; he's beyond our reach," Liu Erkui said, his words filled with a sense of powerlessness, a true helplessness.

"Do I need to keep asking?" Ye Xiao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erkui shuddered involuntarily, not even sure why himself, so he quickly told Ye Xiao he was at Kangli Surgical Hospital.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao once again arrived at Wang Dongliang's room.

"All changed, it fits perfectly. Ye Xiao, are you busy at noon? If not, let's have lunch together!" Wang Dongliang smiled and said to Ye Xiao, knowing well which people to keep close.

Ye Xiao said, "I'm afraid that won't be possible, I have plans at noon. By the way, Director Wang, there's something I need to ask you."

Wang Dongliang immediately said, "Tell me, what is it!"

Ye Xiao said, "There should be a place called Kangli Surgical Hospital in Jinling District, do you know where it is?"

"Kangli Hospital, yeah, it's on Kun River Road. Why do you ask?" Wang Dongliang looked at Ye Xiao puzzledly.

Ye Xiao just chuckled and said, "A friend of mine is there; I want to go see him."

"Oh, do you want me to come with you?" Wang Dongliang was indeed very concerned about Ye Xiao's matters.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "There's really no need, and Director Wang, you are now the head of the logistics department, so many things fall on your shoulders. It's better I handle this small matter myself."

"That's also true," Wang Dongliang said, pleased with Ye Xiao's words. In fact, he hadn't really planned to go; it was just a polite offer, and he continued, "Alright then, I indeed have official business to attend to. If you need any help, just say the word, we're all friends here."

Ye Xiao immediately said happily, "Alright then, Director Wang, I'll be taking off first."

Ye Xiao had given Wang Dongliang a great deal of face.

Leaving Blue Star Technology, Ye Xiao immediately drove away in Xia Mingyue's Ferrari.

Even though Ye Xiao was acting as a driver and occasionally as a nanny, it was a role with its perks, allowing him to drive the Ferrari around whenever he had the chance.

Kangli Surgical Hospital on the middle section of Kun River Road; Ye Xiao might not have known it, but as the saying goes, "The nose leads to the mouth," and after inquiring about the location of Kun River Road, Ye Xiao immediately drove there.

In no time, Kangli Surgical Hospital appeared before his eyes.

After parking the car, Ye Xiao immediately called Liu Erkui again to ask which ward he was in, then bought a fruit basket and went straight to Liu Erkui's room.

Liu Erkui was surprised to receive Ye Xiao's call; he truly hadn't expected Ye Xiao to actually come to the hospital to visit him. Initially, Liu Erkui's first impression of Ye Xiao wasn't that great, but as he contemplated, Ye Xiao entered with the fruit basket in hand.

Walking into the ward, Ye Xiao immediately saw Liu Erkui, who was swathed in bandages in several places, including a spot on his head, clearly indicating he was injured there as well.

"It seems quite serious," Ye Xiao said, placing the fruit basket next to Liu Erkui's bed and looking at his injuries.

"It's nothing much," Liu Erkui quickly responded.

"Have you called the police?" Ye Xiao looked at Liu Erkui and asked.

Liu Erkui's face turned bitter as he said, "How could I dare to call the police? Yang Hangtian has strong connections in the security department."

"Idiot, you got beaten up like this and still didn't call the police. How about Shanshan and the others? Are they okay?" Ye Xiao inquired.

"They're fine; actually, you didn't need to come here," Liu Erkui looked at Ye Xiao again.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "To be honest, I really didn't need to come, but I still did; do you know why?"

Liu Erkui shook his head.

"Because we're essentially from the same hometown!" Ye Xiao intentionally found a reason for himself.

Hearing this, Liu Erkui was moved and also secretly relieved that he hadn't yet transferred his residency to Bird City.

Ye Xiao continued, "Did Yang Hangtian come back after he hit you?"

Clearly, that was what Ye Xiao was most concerned about.

"He probably went," said Liu Erkui an hour ago. "Little Mi called me and said Yang Hangtian was relentlessly bothering her. It's a pity, I'm not a martial arts expert, otherwise!"

"Ha-ha, alright," Ye Xiao looked at Liu Erkui and said, "Now, don't dream about becoming a martial arts expert. Just focus on healing. Once you are healed, who knows, things might have changed."

"I see, um, I still don't know your name," Liu Erkui said, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled and replied, "What difference does it make if you know? You're not a woman, and I don't plan on asking you to devote yourself to me. Alright, I have to go now."

Seeing that Ye Xiao seemed unwilling to reveal his name, Liu Erkui didn't press further, knowing that if Ye Xiao wished to share it, he would have done so himself.

Then Ye Xiao left Liu Erkui's hospital room.

Ye Xiao's visit to Liu Erkui was not genuinely out of concern; in fact, he felt somewhat grateful. If Liu Erkui hadn't been beaten up, Zheng Lingshan might have been in trouble. Ye Xiao really didn't want Zheng Lingshan to face trouble because Yang Hangtian would continue to hassle her due to Ye Xiao teaching Yang Hangtian a harsh lesson yesterday.

Kangli Hospital was not a big hospital, but it had many patients since it was a surgical hospital, often filled with those learning things the hard way by getting into fights.

The smaller hospital was cheaper than the bigger ones.

Originally, Ye Xiao wanted to leave immediately, but as he was walking down the corridor, he suddenly overheard two people talking. Normally, the conversation of two people wouldn't catch his attention, but what if they were discussing a name Ye Xiao knew?

"Sixth Master Wu really got knocked down hard this time, that kid actually broke three of his ribs with a kick."

"Yeah, Sixth Master Wu has been around for a long time, and this is the first time he's suffered such a big loss. But that kid is really strong. However, I'm puzzled why Sixth Master Wu isn't going after him for revenge."

"Who knows, the old Sixth Master would never stand for a loss, but this time, he just..."

Standing nearby, Ye Xiao listened to their conversation and understood. These two were subordinates of yesterday's Sixth Master Wu, and apparently, Sixth Master Wu was likely also a patient at Kangli Hospital.

Ye Xiao knew his purpose in Bird City. If he had to find Wu Laoliu himself, it wouldn't be easy, but what if someone helped him? That would be much better, certainly stronger than the current situation.

At that moment, in a private room at Kangli Hospital.

"Sixth Master, why won't you let the brothers find that guy? They could definitely find him," said the buzz-cut man who was looking at Sixth Master Wu lying on the hospital bed.

Sixth Master Wu smiled faintly and said, "There's no need for that. This taught me that there is always someone stronger out there," and he felt a rare moment of peace.

"But, Sixth Master, the brothers are really upset. They are crying out to find that person and flay him alive!" continued Buzz-Cut.

"That's too severe. However, if we could recruit such a person into Hong Company, that would definitely be a fortune for the company," said Sixth Master Wu.

Just then, voices came from the doorway.

"What are you doing? There's only one person here, our Sixth Master Wu. You won't find the person you're looking for," the guard at the door said arrogantly.

"What's going on?" Sixth Master Wu looked puzzled and glanced at Buzz-Cut.

Buzz-Cut immediately stood up and said, "Sixth Master, I'll go take a look."

Then, Buzz-Cut walked out, but as he reached the door, he saw the person trying to come in—it was the young man who had kicked Sixth Master Wu the day before.

"It's you!" exclaimed Buzz-Cut in surprise, recognizing Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, seeing Buzz-Cut recognized him as well, said with a smile, "It's me."

"What do you want to do?" Buzz-Cut had seen Ye Xiao's kick the previous night.

"I heard Mr. Wu was here, so I came to see him," said Ye Xiao.

"Just you?" At this time, many from Hong Company wanted to avenge Wu Liu, but no one knew where Ye Xiao was. Now that Ye Xiao had shown up himself, Buzz-Cut immediately prepared to call others.

However, at that moment, a somewhat weak voice came from inside the sick room.

"Who is it!"

Buzz-Cut glared at Ye Xiao, then swiftly walked back into the room and informed Sixth Master Wu of the visitor.

Hearing it was the young man from last night, Sixth Master Wu's interest was piqued.

"Let him in," he said.

Upon hearing this from Sixth Master Wu, Buzz-Cut looked at him and said, "Sixth Master, this might be..."

"It's fine."

With no choice, Buzz-Cut stepped out and faced Ye Xiao with a cold expression, saying, "Sixth Master said you can come in."

Ye Xiao smiled and immediately strode into the room.

As Ye Xiao entered the sick room and saw Sixth Master Wu lying on the bed, he approached with a smile and said, "Mr. Wu, I'm truly sorry, I was too harsh yesterday."

Even though Ye Xiao had a smile on his face, Sixth Master Wu could tell that Ye Xiao's words were sincere, not a joke.
