At that moment, Xia Mingyue really was stunned, because she saw a black gun barrel pointed at Fang Jing's forehead, and as Fang Jing backed away, the black gun barrel closed in on her.

After the black handgun was revealed, six or seven armed men in black burst into the office.

"Who are you?" Xia Mingyue's brief shock was quickly replaced by a furrowed brow as she addressed the gunmen in an icy voice.

"The Xia family's young miss really does have some backbone, daring to ask us such a question even after seeing us," replied the leader of the gunmen, his square face and aquiline nose giving him an incongruous appearance.

Upon hearing that the man knew her name, Xia Mingyue's suspicions rose. It didn't seem like the Xia family had offended anyone, so could these people be sent by the Zhao family? However, at that moment, more than half of the guns were pointed at Xia Mingyue and of course, the rest were aimed at Fang Jing.

Fang Jing, that girl, was even calmer than Xia Mingyue and even smiled as she said, "Ming Yue, following you seems to have been a mistake, now it looks like I'm going to be sacrificed too."

Hearing Fang Jing's words, Xia Mingyue immediately rolled her eyes. Was this girl out of her mind? With matters as they were, how could she be thinking about such things, not knowing that death could come at any moment? But now wasn't the time to be bickering with Fang Jing. She turned to the leader and asked, "Are you people from the Zhao family?"

"Yes, we indeed are from the Zhao family. Miss Xia, a woman daring to do such a thing to our Young Master Pu, I really do admire you. Please, Miss Xia," the square-faced man glared at Ye Xiao and said loudly.

Xia Mingyue sighed; what was bound to come had come. So what use was there in a standoff?

"Alright!" Xia Mingyue put down the planning booklet she had in her hand, ready to leave the office desk and go with these gunmen. The situation had progressed to this point; it seemed unlikely she'd be able to walk away, and Xia Mingyue, self-aware as she was, knew that she couldn't escape.

However, she felt she should leave with the Zhao family men, but Fang Jing had no intention of leaving, and immediately confronted the square-faced man, "Big brother, can I say a word? Don't you want to know who castrated—or rather, who hurt your Young Master Pu?"

"Jinger!" Xia Mingyue understood Fang Jing's intention upon hearing her words; she certainly didn't want to offer up Ye Xiao, who had been good to her, just to avoid harm to herself.

The square-faced man's expression tightened as he regarded Xia Mingyue, then looked at Fang Jing. He was also puzzled, as Zhao Pu might not be much of a man, but still, it was unlikely that he'd be castrated by a woman. Such a story getting out would be...

"Go on!" the square-faced man prompted Fang Jing, wearing a self-assured smile he deemed attractive.

Although Ye Xiao had shown kindness to Xia Mingyue, what did that have to do with Fang Jing? It wasn't her that Ye Xiao had been kind to, and their lives were at stake.

"It was Ye Xiao who did it," said Fang Jing.

Xia Mingyue sighed upon hearing Fang Jing actually spilling the truth, knowing she couldn't stop her.

The square-faced man, hearing Fang Jing's words, was immediately puzzled. Who was Ye Xiao? He had never heard of him.

"Where is this person?" he inquired seriously, aware that finding the real perpetrator would earn him significant favor in the eyes of Zhao Sheng.

Fang Jing replied, "He's off work. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

The square-faced man's face filled with anger upon hearing Fang Jing's response, and he coldly said, "Are you playing with me?"

"I'm not playing with you; I'm just telling you what happened," Fang Jing responded, and then she simply sat down on the sofa next to her.

The square-faced man looked at Fang Jing, who appeared utterly indifferent, as if she didn't care about the gunmen surrounding her.

After a moment's thought, the square-faced man decided, "Take her away!"

"Wait a second!" Fang Jing interjected.

The square-faced man frowned, "What now?"

"Why take me? I'm not Xia Mingyue!" Fang Jing retorted.

"You must be someone intimate with the Xia family, or else you wouldn't be here," he glared at Fang Jing, saying, "Do I sense you're trying to stall for time?"

"Stalling for time?" Fang Jing didn't rise from the sofa but looked at the square-faced man and said, "Alright, I am stalling for time, waiting for my Prince Charming to come and save me."

Fang Jing was dead serious as she spoke, which made the gunmen chuckle. Did this woman have a case of hero syndrome? Even though it was night, there was no need to indulge in such a pointless fantasy.

"Who is your Prince Charming?" a voice came from the entrance.

The square-faced man quickly looked over and saw someone dressed just like them. Clearly, it was one of their own.

Fang Jing heard this voice and immediately said with a giggle, "My knight in shining armor must have arrived, you all better be careful. He's a demon who kills without blinking an eye, heehee!"

The man with a square face listened to Fang Jing's words and shook his head secretly, lamenting that although the girl looked lively and attractive, it was a pity she was a fool.

"Take this idiot with you!" The square-faced man shook his head and turned to leave.

However, just when the square-faced man thought apprehending someone would be so simple, he found that one of his own men had a gun pointed at his head.

The square-faced man was momentarily stunned by his own man holding a gun to his head, but then he immediately glared at the man before him and bellowed, "Are you trying to revolt?"

"You can only speak like that to your own subordinates!" The turncoat had always kept his head down, and since the square-faced man was about 1.88 meters tall, he hadn't managed to see the face of the person in front of him clearly!

At this moment, all the gunmen in the room were also stunned, not understanding why one of their own would point a gun at their boss. But regardless, with the boss in danger, they immediately pointed all their guns at the so-called turncoat.

Just then, the so-called turncoat finally slowly lifted his head, revealing a clean and handsome face. The face itself wasn't too remarkable, but those exceptionally bright eyes startled the square-faced man, because he saw a gleam of sharp intelligence in them.

"You're not one of my men!" said the square-faced man in surprise as he looked at the young man standing before him.

"Ha ha, of course I'm not one of yours. If I were, why would I point a gun at your head?" replied the young man with a chuckle.

"He is Ye Xiao, weren't you looking for him? Now that he is here, why don't you capture him?" Fang Jing continued to sit on the sofa, giggling at the square-faced man. This girl acted as if she was just watching the excitement, as if the matters here had nothing to do with her.

At this time, Xia Mingyue also slowly sat down in a chair. She finally understood why Fang Jing had been babbling with the square-faced man just before—it turned out Fang Jing had simply been buying time, waiting for Ye Xiao to arrive.

After Fang Jing had initially been startled by the sight of the gun, she wasn't afraid at all, because she knew that within Blue Star Technology there was another him, that Blood Shura who could turn Minghai City upside down, Ye Xiao.

Thus, Fang Jing had such confidence, and now she had proven herself right.

"So you're Ye Xiao? Was it you who dealt with Young Master Pu?" the square-faced man frowned deeply as he glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "Removing a scourge from society is my duty as a citizen of Yan Country. No need to reward me; I think it's what I ought to do."

Showing off—Ye Xiao was really showing off at that moment!

But now, the square-faced man was really in a difficult position to do anything to Ye Xiao because Ye Xiao's finger might pull the trigger at any moment.

"If you kill me, you'll be shot full of holes immediately, and the two women in this room will be killed too. One life for three lives, do you think that's worth it?" the square-faced man stared at Ye Xiao and shouted loudly.

"Kneel down!" Ye Xiao looked at the square-faced man and spoke in a very calm voice.

"What?" The square-faced man, filled with surprise at Ye Xiao's words, thought he must have misheard.

A sinister smile spread across Ye Xiao's face.

"Kneel down for me, and perhaps I'll consider not killing you, and of course, not killing your subordinates either." Ye Xiao's voice remained very calm, but every word he said struck hard at the heart of the square-faced man and his men.

They never thought there would be someone so brazen in this world—this man's arrogance was simply too excessive.

"Aren't you afraid..." the square-faced man attempted to threaten Ye Xiao with words.

But before he could finish, Ye Xiao slapped the man across the face with his other hand. The slap was heavy, leaving a trail of blood on the corner of his mouth!

"Boss!" the square-faced man's subordinates were shocked to see him get slapped by Ye Xiao and almost immediately pressed forward with their guns.

"I'll count to three, and if you're still here, I'll blow your boss's brains out. Starting the countdown now, one!" Ye Xiao, as if not seeing the gunmen at all, directly threatened the square-faced man's subordinates.

These men were truly enraged by Ye Xiao's words, but now, as Ye Xiao began to count, they really didn't know what to do. Although they were usually sharp in carrying out missions, they were truly caught in a dilemma.

"Two!" Ye Xiao's tone was unhurried, but as he uttered this number, his finger on the trigger began to tighten.

These gunmen, who practically played with guns every day, naturally understood what kind of thing a handgun was.

So, before Ye Xiao could count to "three," those men immediately started shoving each other out the door.

Ye Xiao glanced at Fang Jing, who promptly stood up to close the door.
