"Since you're so confident, I won't say much more, but I hope you won't bring any danger to Ming Yue. I don't want her to suffer any harm," Xia Nanhai looked at Ye Xiao with a serious face.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Although I am Mr. Xia's driver and have no obligation to protect his safety, I particularly hate it when someone threatens the safety of a beautiful woman. Fortunately, you have such a beautiful daughter; otherwise, I really wouldn't help you protect her."

Ye Xiao's words were completely teasing, not taking Xia Nanhai, the tycoon of the Xia Group, seriously at all. Xia Nanhai clearly saw Ye Xiao's disdain, but he wasn't the slightest bit angry. Instead, he hoped Ye Xiao would continue like this because that would mean Ye Xiao was no ordinary character.

"All right, everything that needs to be said has been said. I still have to continue being your daughter's driver. You should go and find the Jiang Family now. I believe the Jiang Family's strength can ensure that your Xia Group does not suffer heavy losses," Ye Xiao said with a smile, and then he walked straight out.

Xia Nanhai watched Ye Xiao leave without saying a word, but now he really did need to think about how to resolve this crisis.

When Ye Xiao walked out of Xia Nanhai's office, he saw Xia Mingyue standing by a distant glass window. At that moment, Xia Mingyue was gazing into the distance. Looking from the side, a hint of worry was revealed on her face, her brows lightly furrowed, presenting a different kind of beauty.

"Hey, Mr. Xia!" Ye Xiao called out, noticing that he had already reached Xia Mingyue's side and that she hadn't even noticed him, immediately speaking in a cheerful tone.

Xia Mingyue jumped at Ye Xiao's voice and immediately looked at him, asking, "How did it go?"

"Your dad said he's going to see the Jiang Family. Everything else, it doesn't concern you or me," Ye Xiao said, clearly distancing himself.

Xia Mingyue immediately gave Ye Xiao a white look and said, "How can it not be my concern? It seems this really has given my dad a headache. Never mind, let's go. I hope things aren't too bad."

Since the issue had already arisen, Xia Mingyue could only let nature take its course. It was not possible to ignore her Blue Star Technology just because of this incident. Since the business deal with Zhao Pu hadn't gone through, she had to go back and discuss matters thoroughly with Liuu Yang and Zhang Jiang.

Seeing Xia Mingyue walk away, Ye Xiao immediately followed her.

In the elevator!

"Didn't my dad tell you to leave?" Xia Mingyue inquired.

"He did, but your dad meant that we shouldn't let any danger befall you," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao and then fell silent.

Meanwhile, at the Zhao family estate in Bird City.

"What did you say?" A forty-something, burly middle-aged man with fierce eyes barked loudly into the phone at Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong trembled with fear on the other end of the phone. He was speaking with the third key figure of the Zhao family, Zhao Pu's father, Zhao Sheng, who was also the second in line to inherit leadership of the Zhao family.

"Second Master, it was Xia Mingyue, the daughter of Xia Nanhai from the Xia Group, who is responsible. Second Master, I fear that the young master's... his lower body may not be salvageable," Zhao Zhong said with a trembling voice. As Zhao Pu's right-hand man, his greatest duty was to protect Zhao Pu. Now, while Zhao Pu hadn't been killed, he had been rendered without the means to continue his lineage, which was a grave matter indeed.

"The Xia family!" Zhao Sheng was filled with rage. He threw his phone onto the floor violently, smashing it to bits, and shouted even louder, "Xia Nanhai, you and I are irreconcilable enemies!"

At that moment, a woman in the room saw Zhao Sheng's anger escalate to fury after he took the call, even verging on murderous intent, and immediately asked with concern, "Second Master, what's happened?"

Zhao Sheng looked at the woman, considering scolding her to vent his anger, but then he thought if she knew about Zhao Pu's condition, perhaps...

"I'm going to see the father," Zhao Sheng said, restraining his rage, and then left the room immediately.

The woman, seeing Zhao Sheng head to see Old Man Zhao, grew even more puzzled. What sort of major issue would drive him to see the patriarch? But by then, Zhao Sheng had already left the room. Recalling Zhao Sheng's extreme fury, she suddenly thought of someone and quickly went to call her precious son.

After leaving his villa, Zhao Sheng promptly headed to the central villa within the Zhao family estate, the residence of Old Man Zhao, Zhao Guangyi. The entire Zhao family thrived and prospered thanks to Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Sheng arrived at Zhao Guangyi's villa and without waiting to be announced, barged in.

Old Man Zhao was reading a book when he saw his son Zhao Sheng run into his study, resulting in some bewilderment. Still, he continued reading, saying sternly, "Rushing about like this, what dignified behavior is this!"

Upon entering, Zhao Sheng looked at the servant standing by the door and commanded, "I need to talk to the old master, leave us."

The servant quickly nodded in agreement and left the room.

Once they were alone, Zhao Sheng, with the beginnings of tears in his eyes, looked at Zhao Guangyi and said, "Father, Pu... Pu..."

Zhao Sheng didn't even know how to begin. After all, how could he bring himself to say that his son had been castrated?

Zhao Guangyi heard Zhao Sheng's words, his brows slightly furrowed, and he said, "Has little Pu gotten himself into trouble again? Shenger, I've told you before, you can't let little Pu live such a dissipated life. If one day he messes with someone he shouldn't, that would be big trouble."

"Father, Pu'er won't be living a life of luxury and debauchery anymore, he will never be able to." Tears streamed down Zhao Sheng's eyes.

Men do not lightly shed tears, it's only when they are truly heartbroken.

Zhao Guangyi, with his old age and cunning, was shocked upon seeing Zhao Sheng's state and immediately asked, "What on earth happened?"

"Pu'er's genitals were castrated by someone." The pain in Zhao Sheng's heart was like being sliced by a knife.

The book Zhao Guangyi was holding in his hands fell to the ground upon hearing Zhao Sheng's words.

Silence!

An extraordinary silence filled the study, but it lasted less than five seconds before Zhao Guangyi's voice, icy with anger, rang out.

"Who did it!"

Zhao Sheng, seeing the strong anger on his father's aged face, quickly said, "The Xia family's daughter, Xia Mingyue!"

Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Sheng and said coldly, "It seems I was right. Shenger, you are half responsible for today's catastrophe that has befallen little Pu."

"Yes, Father." Zhao Sheng bowed his head, daring not to make a sound, but soon he raised his head again and looked at Zhao Guangyi, saying, "Father, what should we do?"

Zhao Guangyi wasn't as hot-headed as Zhao Sheng. Even though he knew his grandson had been mutilated and was enraged to the point where he wanted to kill Xia Mingyue immediately, as the elder of the Zhao family, he had to consider the interests of the entire clan.

"The Xia family has a marital connection with the Jiang family. Let's first inform the Jiang family about this matter. It's not good for you, since Pu'er is your son—let your elder brother handle it. You should go and visit little Pu!" Zhao Guangyi's voice calmed down.

Upon hearing his father's arrangement, Zhao Sheng immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, "Father, things are already like this, why bother informing the Jiang family? I want to kill Xia Nanhai and his daughter right now. I want to annihilate the Xia family, leaving them childless and utterly destroyed."

Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Sheng's furious face and flatly said, "Have you said enough?"

"Eh?" Zhao Sheng looked at Zhao Guangyi.

"If you've said enough, then get out and learn how to be steady from your elder brother," Zhao Guangyi said coldly.

Hearing Zhao Guangyi's words, Zhao Sheng didn't dare to make a sound anymore. Zhao Guangyi held absolute authority in the Zhao family.

After walking out of the villa, Zhao Sheng outwardly appeared to comply with his father's decision, but his own son had been harmed—it was practically the same as killing his child. How could Zhao Sheng possibly bear such hatred? At the same time, he even resented his father. At such a moment, his father was still praising how good his elder brother was.

Zhao Sheng's anger stemmed from Zhao Pu's injury, but now, it was not just about anger over those injuries.

Following that, Zhao Guangyi did not hesitate and summoned his eldest son, Zhao Hong. He immediately informed Zhao Hong of what had happened to Zhao Pu. Zhao Hong was shocked and incensed as well. Although Zhao Pu was Zhao Sheng's son, he was also his own nephew, and such cruel harm was also a severe humiliation to the entire Zhao family. Then Zhao Hong went straight to the Jiang family under Zhao Guangyi's arrangement.

Meanwhile, at the same time at Blue Star Technology Company.

Xia Mingyue got out of the Ferrari, turned her head, and saw Ye Xiao, who looked as if nothing had happened, and said, "Are you really deciding not to leave?"

"Heh, Mr. Xia, you really care about me," Ye Xiao said with a smug smile.

Xia Mingyue immediately turned and walked toward Blue Star Technology.

Ye Xiao parked the car and promptly walked straight into Blue Star Technology. He was an employee of Blue Star Technology, and since he didn't need to go out now, he naturally had to stay at Blue Star Technology, lest anyone gossip.

Just as he entered Blue Star Technology, Li Shengrong seemed to emerge from nowhere.

"Ye Xiao, just got back, huh?" Li Shengrong said with a beaming smile, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao replied, "Deputy Director Li, good day. I've just brought Mr. Xia back. Were you looking for me?"

"Heh, yes, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Li Shengrong said, his face full of smiles as if he had just eaten honey.

Ye Xiao felt a bit puzzled, but since Li Shengrong was the deputy director and directly in charge of him, he quickly chuckled and said, "Deputy Director Li, if there's anything you need, just command—I'll do what I can, and if I can't, I'll find a way to do it!"
