Ye Xiao walked out of Li Shengrong's office, carrying that half-full bottle of orange juice, and the bank card in his pocket that Li Shengrong had loaded with six thousand yuan. At the moment, Ye Xiao truly felt a bit smug. Although he wasn't an official, he had tasted the sweetness of receiving gifts. Yet, did Xia Mingyue really look at him differently? Why hadn't he noticed it?

Ye Xiao didn't delude himself into thinking that a beautiful CEO like Xia Mingyue would actually fall for him. Xia Mingyue, with her strong character, was not someone even a kind-hearted and wealthy handsome guy could easily win over, let alone himself.

Ye Xiao was Xia Mingyue's driver, and just this title alone made him quite popular at Blue Star Technology. Not only in the logistics department, but employees from other departments also greeted Ye Xiao with smiles when they saw him. Some even jokingly asked if Ye Xiao had a girlfriend, wanting to introduce him to their cousin's daughter, but Ye Xiao had politely refused.

The afternoon passed in a blur, and Ye Xiao had become familiar with nearly everyone at Blue Star Technology. Most people there agreed with Li Shengrong, viewing Ye Xiao as Xia Mingyue's favorite, and some even suspected that Ye Xiao was her secret boyfriend, suggesting that his role as a personal driver was just a cover.

If there was someone at Blue Star Technology who dared not to give Ye Xiao any respect besides Xia Mingyue, it was Fang Jing.

"Ye Xiao, come here!" Fang Jing, seeing Ye Xiao chatting animatedly with a few colleagues, called out to him.

Fang Jing's voice wasn't loud, but the people talking to Ye Xiao all heard it and immediately turned to look at Fang Jing. Upon seeing her, they all greeted the top favorite of Mr. Xia, knowing that many of Xia's decisions were discussed with Assistant Fang. Despite being just an executive assistant, Fang Jing held a position in Blue Star Technology that was second only to Xia Mingyue.

"What is it?" Ye Xiao looked towards Fang Jing with a puzzled face; he hadn't seen this sharp-tongued assistant since the afternoon.

Fang Jing glanced at the others standing with Ye Xiao and calmly said, "You guys go on, I need to talk to Ye Xiao."

Hearing this, the others quickly walked away.

Once everyone had left, Fang Jing said to Ye Xiao, "Let's go to the pantry."

Fang Jing headed straight to the pantry after speaking, and Ye Xiao, a bit puzzled by her unspoken words, hurriedly followed. He knew at Blue Star Technology, anyone could be offended except for Fang Jing. This lady was much cleverer than Xia Mingyue and loved to throw others into danger, like the incident at noon, which Fang Jing must have known about beforehand but had passed it onto Ye Xiao.

"Assistant Fang, what's the matter?" Ye Xiao said as he grabbed a disposable cup, filled it with hot water, and smiled at Fang Jing while blowing on the steam.

Fang Jing, also getting hot water, used a delicate and cute cup, clearly her own.

"I heard about today's incident from Ming Yue," Fang Jing said, not looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, hearing this, guessed that Fang Jing wanted to discuss the incident, but he also understood that she was likely to criticize him, since what he did wasn't minor.

"What's the use of talking about it now that it's already happened?" Ye Xiao said.

Fang Jing finished getting her water, cupping it in both hands, and suddenly smiled,

"Do you think I'm definitely going to say you were too reckless, or that you shouldn't have been so impulsive?" Fang Jing surprisingly said to Ye Xiao with a grin.

"Isn't that the case?" Ye Xiao said, a bit confused.

Fang Jing shook her head and said, "Of course not. I actually think what you did was very right, far better than those who only talk and never act. Do you know how many innocent girls you saved with your action? Ye Xiao, honestly, I'm a bit in awe of you."

Hearing Fang Jing's words and seeing her intense gaze, Ye Xiao suddenly became hesitant and said, "Assistant Fang, are you alright?"

"Hehe, I'm fine, I just think you're really manly," Fang Jing chuckled, yet her eyes glaringly resembled a wolf eyeing a delicious lamb.

For a moment, Ye Xiao even forgot who was the man and who was the woman.

Ye Xiao coughed lightly and said, "Assistant Fang, is this what you wanted to see me for? If there's nothing else, I should go, there's still work to do in logistics."

Fang Jing actually stepped forward, blocking the door with a proud look on her face, and said to Ye Xiao with a giggly tone, "Cut it out, you might fool others, but do you think you can fool me? The logistics department is always idle, do you think I don't know that? What? You are bold enough to do such ruthless things, but you seem very afraid of me. Do you think I'll eat you?"

Fang Jing, this girl, actually walked towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, looking at Fang Jing's strangely smiling face, suddenly imagined a scene where a decent woman was about to be violently attacked by a thug. Subconsciously, Ye Xiao stepped back, folded his arms, and with a surprised expression, said, "Assistant Fang, we are both respectable people, you can't do this to me, I will definitely scream."

Seeing Ye Xiao's reaction, Fang Jing laughed softly and triumphantly, saying, "Are you really afraid of me? I find it curious. Ye Xiao, who single-handedly changed the power dynamic of Minghai City, is afraid of a weak woman like me who can't even hurt a fly? That's truly unbelievable."

Ye Xiao, listening to Fang Jing's words, slowly had a gloomy expression spread across his face, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, and he lowered his hands.

"You know a lot about me," Ye Xiao remarked, his voice as calm as water.

Fang Jing, as if she hadn't noticed the change in Ye Xiao's expression, maintained her demeanor and said, "What? Do you want to silence me? However, if doing so would demonstrate the dominance of the Blood Shura, then I am willing to sacrifice myself."

Blood Shura!

This was a name that those who had left Minghai City could never forget.

The fight between Blood Shura and Xiong Daoliang was considered a battle of the ages in the eyes of the Martial Artists, at least, that's how they saw it. The fact that a formidable warrior like Blood Shura had emerged in Minghai City was known to almost everyone in Chu City, though very few people knew that Blood Shura was Ye Xiao.

Thus, Ye Xiao was very surprised that Fang Jing knew he was Blood Shura.

From Fang Jing's body, Ye Xiao did not feel any fluctuations of True Qi.

Only two kinds of people could completely hide their True Qi from Ye Xiao. The first type would be those whose strength was higher than Ye Xiao's, and the second type would be those who were not Martial Artists at all.

Ye Xiao believed that Fang Jing definitely belonged to the second type.

Ye Xiao gently blew on the surface of his water in the cup, took a sip, and said, "How could I? Such a beautiful girl like you, how could I bear to kill you? However, I am indeed very curious, how do you know my identity? Does Mr. Xia know as well?"

"She doesn't know yet, but I think she will find out soon because the Jiang Family's intelligence system is also very sharp," Fang Jing said with a smile.

"Then why do you know? Who exactly are you?" Ye Xiao, very surprised by Fang Jing's words, realized that neither Xia Mingyue nor Xia Nanhai knew his identity, which suggested a serious issue: Fang Jing was no ordinary person and likely had a very powerful backing.

The strength of this power was not yet known, but their intelligence system was certainly impressive.

Fang Jing chuckled and said, "Fang Jing, Jin as in peace and Jing as in quiet. What? Are you interested in me? Actually, I'm also interested in you. They say when two people of the opposite sex become interested in each other, they often end up together. What do you think, could there be a chance for us?"

The burning desire reappeared in Fang Jing's eyes, a look of yearning for something she wanted but could not immediately have, a covetous expression.

Ye Xiao could tell that he would not be able to obtain any useful information from Fang Jing now, so he immediately said, "Since you won't tell, then let's leave it at that. I really do have other things to handle."

"What are you doing?" Fang Jing immediately asked.

"Going to the restroom!" Ye Xiao walked out of the pantry without looking back!

Fang Jing still stood in the pantry, a faint smile on her face. If Ye Xiao had not left, he would have seen something astonishing—within Fang Jing's eyes, two blue flames flickered momentarily and then disappeared as if they had never appeared.

"Blood Shura, Ye Xiao, hehe, such a curious fellow. But the way he's so wary of me, as though I'm just an ordinary woman!" Fang Jing softly blew on the water in her cup, her smile deepening.
