Nanhai was, after all, Nanhai. He had met many people and he saw Ye Xiao in the Blue Star Technology uniform. So, Nanhai continued smiling at his cherished daughter and said, "Yueer, what brings you to me looking so serious? Has someone been bullying you? I will definitely stand up for you."

"Dad, there really is something," Xia Mingyue looked at her father and then, feeling ashamed, lowered her head and continued, "Dad, I'm sorry, I've caused you a lot of trouble."

"Oh?" Upon hearing his daughter's words and noticing her surprised expression, Nanhai was very curious and said, "Is it something work-related? Don't worry, even if Blue Star Technology goes bankrupt, it's still a trivial matter. You shouldn't fret over such small things. I don't want my beloved daughter, who isn't married yet, getting wrinkles over it, haha."

"Dad, I'm not joking. It really is a serious matter. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed over here in such a hurry," Xia Mingyue said, looking at her father who doted on her greatly, feeling even more guilty.

Even after hearing Xia Mingyue's words, Nanhai was still smiling faintly and said, "Alright, tell me, what exactly is it?"

At that moment, Ye Xiao, who was standing at the side, actually felt envious of Xia Mingyue. Having a father really was wonderful. Big issues turned into small ones in front of a father. Honestly, Nanhai's way of raising his child was really problematic, but it also definitely showed how deeply Nanhai loved Xia Mingyue.

"Chairman Xia, there are some things Mr. Xia can't say directly. I think it's better if I speak for her," Ye Xiao suddenly spoke up, his eyes smiling as he looked at Nanhai.

Nanhai had been quietly observing Ye Xiao. Although Ye Xiao had been silent, Nanhai found it very strange that he couldn't ignore him. At that moment, when Ye Xiao spoke, Nanhai immediately chuckled and asked Ye Xiao, "You are an employee of Blue Star Technology, right? What is your position there?"

"Driver!" Ye Xiao said.

"Oh!" Nanhai just uttered a sound and then fell silent immediately.

At that moment, Xia Mingyue said, "Dad, Ye Xiao is my driver."

"Your driver?" Having heard Xia Mingyue's words, Nanhai was very puzzled. His precious daughter knew how to drive and was quite good at it. Why would she need a man to drive her?

"Dad, that's a minor detail. Let's not discuss it now. Ye Xiao, you go ahead and tell him about that matter," Xia Mingyue said, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao glanced at Xia Mingyue, understanding her signal.

As Nanhai heard his daughter's words and saw Ye Xiao's expression, he secretly wondered if his beloved daughter was asking this man to propose on her behalf.

However, when Ye Xiao spoke, Nanhai realized he had guessed wrong.

"Chairman Xia, someone is trying to bully Mr. Xia. What I am talking about is not the kind of bullying involving fists and kicks; moreover, he drugged Mr. Xia," Ye Xiao said as he looked at Nanhai.

Nanhai, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, couldn't help but be astonished and immediately looked at Xia Mingyue, feeling very worried.

Ye Xiao continued, "However, he wasn't successful."

Upon hearing the latter part of Ye Xiao's statement, Nanhai was relieved. He frowned and said coldly, "How audacious, daring to target my daughter. I will make sure he understands the consequences."

"No need, he already understands the consequences," Ye Xiao said.

"Oh?" Nanhai looked at Ye Xiao, clearly waiting for him to continue.

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "He got castrated by me."

"Castrated?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Nanhai's brows furrowed slightly; he understood what being castrated meant.

"Yes, I think soon his family will be coming to you," Ye Xiao said.

"What is your name?" Nanhai, seeing a certain fierceness in Ye Xiao's eyes, suddenly asked.

"Ye Xiao!" Ye Xiao did not hide it, especially since Xia Mingyue had already mentioned it earlier.

Nanhai, after hearing Ye Xiao's name again, then asked, "Who is that person?"

"He is a Zhao!" Ye Xiao said.

Nanhai heard Ye Xiao's words and was immediately slightly shocked, obviously guessing who the person might be.

"Is he from the Zhao family?" Nanhai still asked tentatively.

"Yes, his name is Zhao..." Ye Xiao turned his head towards Xia Mingyue and asked, "Mr. Xia, what's his full name?"

"Zhao Pu!" Xia Mingyue said lightly, sitting on the sofa.

Upon hearing this name, Xia Nanhai was even more shocked. Zhao Pu was one of the four most likely candidates to become the heir to the Zhao family, and Ye Xiao had castrated him? Ye Xiao's boldness was truly immense, and because of this, Xia Nanhai became even more suspicious of Ye Xiao's identity.

"Don't you think you were a bit heavy-handed? Moreover, he is from the Zhao family." Xia Nanhai's gaze was very sharp as he looked at Ye Xiao. Clearly, he was somewhat displeased with Ye Xiao, as this action did not benefit the Xia family in any way.

"I am Mr. Xia's driver, not a bodyguard, and I had no obligation to save Mr. Xia. However, I couldn't stand him, and not killing him was already a mercy," Ye Xiao said calmly as he looked at Xia Nanhai.

Xia Nanhai sighed and sat in an armchair close to Xia Mingyue, then gestured to the sofa saying, "Sit."

Ye Xiao did not stand on ceremony and directly sat in the armchair opposite Xia Nanhai.

"I've heard that Zhao Pu indeed has a bad reputation, but I didn't expect him to set his sights on Yueer," Xia Nanhai said, "However, since it was for Yueer that you acted against Zhao Pu, I, Xia Nanhai, am not one to repay kindness with enmity. Rest assured, I will protect you."

Ye Xiao smiled and replied, "Thank you, Chairman Xia. However, as Mr. Xia's driver, although I am not a bodyguard, I can't help but intervene in injustice. Now, perhaps Chairman Xia should think about how to deal with the Zhao family. If the Zhao family is unwilling to let go lightly, I am willing to confront the Zhao family. The actions were mine, and if they have the ability to kill me, then there is nothing I can do."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xia Mingyue immediately looked at Xia Nanhai and said, "Dad, although I also detest Ye Xiao, he did those things because of me this time."

Xia Nanhai glanced at Xia Mingyue and said, "Yueer, I will handle it properly. I want to talk to Ye Xiao alone."

"What?" Xia Mingyue was very surprised to hear her father's words. Her father wanted to talk to Ye Xiao alone? Was he planning to let Ye Xiao go? Or was he thinking of letting Ye Xiao bear the burden to protect the Xia Group without her knowing?

"Dad, what is your decision?" Xia Mingyue looked at her father.

Though Xia Nanhai was a very good father, in the business world, he was also a cunning and ruthless person.

"Daddy said he will handle it properly. I have some things to discuss with Ye Xiao. Yueer, be obedient," Xia Nanhai said while looking at Xia Mingyue and added, "I promise I won't harm Ye Xiao."

Xia Mingyue, reassured by her father's words, glanced at Ye Xiao and then walked out of the chairman's office.

When Xia Nanhai saw his daughter leave and had closed the door of the office, his eyes fixed on Ye Xiao like a hawk's.

"Are you the Ye Xiao from Minghai City?" Xia Nanhai now looked very serious. As the helm of the Xia Group in Chu City, with business interests in Minghai City, he had heard this name from a trusted source there. Although Xia Nanhai had not paid much attention at the time, hearing this name again now, and meeting the person himself, made him more curious.

Hearing Xia Nanhai's probing question, Ye Xiao gave a slight smile. It was no surprise that Xia Nanhai knew his name. Though he had intentionally hidden his name while in Minghai City, it had appeared in many places, and anyone paying attention would notice something odd. However, few knew that the drastic changes in Minghai City were connected to Ye Xiao.

"Unexpectedly, Chairman Xia knows my name," Ye Xiao said with a light smile.

Hearing Ye Xiao's confirmation, it was not hard for Xia Nanhai to understand why Ye Xiao had dared to castrate Zhao Pu.

"You have brought a big problem upon us," Xia Nanhai said seriously, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, hearing Xia Nanhai's words, smiled slightly and said, "So, what does Chairman Xia intend to do? Hand me over, or do you have other plans?"

Xia Nanhai glanced at Ye Xiao, then took out a cigarette, tossed one to Ye Xiao, and lit one for himself.

"I promised Yueer I would not hand you over," Xia Nanhai said. "However, I want to know your relationship with Yueer."

Ye Xiao, hearing this, smiled slightly and did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "What kind of relationship do you want it to be?"

Xia Nanhai really did not know what kind of person the Ye Xiao in front of him was, so he also didn't know how to answer Ye Xiao's question.

"Hide for a while, let me think of some solutions. I hope to resolve this catastrophe."

This matter truly was not a small issue for Xia Nanhai, otherwise, he would not refer to it as a catastrophe.

"No need. You just need to ensure the safety of your Xia family. As for the Zhao family, if they bother me, well, I am quite curious to see just how powerful this so-called Eight Great Families of Bird City really are." A flame flickered in Ye Xiao's eyes, a look of excitement.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xia Nanhai was even more taken aback. Ye Xiao's audacity was something he found hard to believe. What kind of family the Zhao family was, Xia Nanhai surely knew? For the sake of the Xia family, he needed to seek help from the Jiang Family. Yet, Ye Xiao seemed not at all afraid—what kind of person was Ye Xiao?
