"If the authorities intervened at this time, and recognized that all these men were from the Zhao family, and furthermore, all were armed with weapons and communication devices, the officials could totally consider this group to be a grave and imminent danger to society. In the end, if things really came to this, it would be terrible for the Zhao family, or rather, extremely serious.

Zhao Sheng naturally knew this, so he definitely did not want such a thing to happen. What to do then?

After weighing his options, Zhao Sheng finally looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Fine, let's forget about it."

Hearing Zhao Sheng's words, the Zhao family's guards were all startled. The narrow-minded Zhao Sheng, whose son had been castrated in such a grim affair, was willing to let it go just like that?

Of course, Zhao Sheng had his own considerations. If he insisted and, perchance, this man in front of him made a fatal move, what would he do then? Forget avenging his son, he would probably be waiting for his own father to avenge him. While Zhao Sheng was very confident in his father, no matter how confident he was, he did not want to die. As the saying goes, it's better to live on the edge than die a good death.

Ye Xiao could, of course, see that Zhao Sheng was deceiving him, but he didn't care in the slightest. He had no intention of killing Zhao Sheng, after all. Zhao Sheng was the second master of the Zhao family, one of the eight great families of Bird City. How could he casually kill him? Killing him would be too easy, but what about afterwards? He still had to stay in Bird City to look for Wu Laoliu. Those needless troubles were what Ye Xiao preferred to avoid.

"Mr. Zhao really understands reason. If your son had one tenth of your sensibility, I think he wouldn't have suffered such a loss," Ye Xiao spoke with an expression of sorrow looking at Zhao Sheng, but then he added with a smile, "Luckily, he's still alive. As long as one is alive, anything is possible, right? Xia Mingyue is nearby waiting for me, I need to go find her. That girl demands to call the police, saying there are terrorists, sigh, really!"

Ye Xiao withdrew his hand and then prepared to leave!

The Zhao family guards immediately blocked Ye Xiao.

At that moment, Zhao Sheng waved his hand, signaling the guards not to stop Ye Xiao.

Zhao Sheng was not a Martial Artist, but that didn't mean the Zhao family didn't have any Martial Artists. Firstly, as the head of the Zhao family, Old Man Zhao Zhao Guangyi was a Martial Artist.

Not everyone can become a Martial Artist, but likewise, anyone can become one.

Becoming a Martial Artist requires the cultivator's meridians to meet a certain standard. If not, it's hard to truly become a Martial Artist, at most they would just be more skilled than the average person. Of course, there is another way, by using various Pills to perfect the meridians, then assisting cultivation with more Pills, ordinary people can become powerful Martial Artists. However, Pills, which in the eyes of ordinary people are legendary elixirs, are also rare Spiritual Medicines within the Martial Artist community. This is why the Pills crafted by Ye Xiao, even the low-level ones, can sell for high prices.

Zhao Sheng, although not a Martial Artist, had some understanding of them because of his father, Zhao Guangyi, a Martial Artist. So, when Ye Xiao reached out to grab Zhao Sheng's neck, he immediately judged that Ye Xiao was probably a Martial Artist. Of course, at that moment, Zhao Sheng was still just suspicious.

However, suspicions aside, Zhao Sheng dared not act rashly. This operation to hunt down Xia Mingyue was carried out without informing Old Man Zhao, so he only brought well-trained men, not Martial Artists. Ordinary people are still ordinary people, no matter how well-trained they might be, they can't escape that awkward status.

Moreover, Ye Xiao was able to subdue the group upstairs. That alone proved Ye Xiao's strength.

If Zhao Sheng didn't let Ye Xiao go now, it would probably become difficult to let him go later.

"Second Master, why let him go?" the lead guard immediately approached Zhao Sheng, asking with bewilderment.

Zhao Sheng glanced at him and said coldly, "Can you defeat him?"

"We have more people!"

Zhao Sheng immediately rolled his eyes in frustration. Who said that the side with more people can definitely defeat the side with fewer? They sent a full twelve men to Blue Star Technology, who were each selected for their exceptional skills, and their marksmanship was also fairly impressive. Yet, Ye Xiao showed up here, which was sufficient to explain some facts.

"Go to Blue Star Technology and recover the bodies for our brothers!" Zhao Sheng let out a sigh, feeling a sense of powerlessness. Originally, he wanted to take revenge for his son using his own methods, but unexpectedly, things turned out so differently, and now there was Ye Xiao, suspected to be a Martial Artist.

"Recover bodies?" Hearing Zhao Sheng's words, the Zhao family guard immediately looked shocked and puzzled.

"Damn it, didn't you hear what I said? If I have to answer more questions, I'll cut out your tongue," Zhao Sheng was already frustrated, and the guard's incessant questioning only added to his irritation.

And at the same time!

Ye Xiao had returned to Blue Star Technology and headed straight for the security department of the logistics division.

Although all Blue Star Technology employees had left for the day, the security operated on a shift system, so there were always guards on duty here. However, Ye Xiao found it strange that while they were supposedly on duty, people had infiltrated the Blue Star Technology building, yet these guards seemed oblivious to it. There had even been gunshots upstairs, but had none of them heard a single thing?

As he approached the security department, Ye Xiao heard laughter and the crackling sound of gunshots inside.

Ye Xiao frowned momentarily, then recognized that these were not real gunshots but sounds emanating from some speaker system.

Ye Xiao walked to the entrance of the security department and knocked on the door.

Three minutes later, the door remained unopened; the people inside continued whatever they were doing, as if they hadn't heard the knocking at all.

Ye Xiao smiled bittertly to himself. What was the use of security like this? Utterly unprofessional. If he hadn't been upstairs today, Xia Mingyue might have been killed, and these guards would probably be none the wiser. With that thought, Ye Xiao suddenly kicked the door of the security department hard.

The door was a security door, which should have been very sturdy, but when Ye Xiao kicked it, the sturdy security door was unexpectedly forced open. However, as it gave way, the door also announced the end of its mission, thoroughly destroyed.

Inside the security department at that moment were three people. When they heard the door kicked open, they were scared out of their wits. Even Yan Luo, who was usually quiet and seated in front of a computer, jumped in fright.

When they took a closer look, they realized it was Ye Xiao.

"Brother Ye, it's you, ah! What great strength you have, to kick the door open like that." The speaker was none other than the director of the logistics department, Wang Dongliang!

At this moment, Wang Dongliang stood behind Yan Luo, who was in front of a computer that was currently emitting loud bursts of gunfire. One wondered if they wanted to hear gunshots, which is why the volume was turned up so high. No wonder they were totally unaware of the gunshots upstairs.

"What are you doing?" Ye Xiao looked at Wang Dongliang, then at Yan Luo and another guard.

The guard, seeing that Ye Xiao had kicked the door open, didn't stop to think whether Ye Xiao was strong or not. What he cared about was that the boss of the logistics department was here, and that Ye Xiao's actions were a major disrespect to Wang Dongliang.

"Holy crap, who do you think you are, daring to kick open this door!" the guard said, marching directly towards Ye Xiao, even pointing his finger at him.

Ye Xiao grew angrier the more he thought about it. As security, their job was to defend peace. But these guys, instead, were playing 'CrossFire', and seemed quite absorbed by it.

Ye Xiao's gaze turned frosty, and a wave of intense anger burst from within. The guard, still completely unaware, came up to Ye Xiao, his finger aimed at Ye Xiao's face, and said, "Do you realize you scared us? You motherf—"

The guard clearly intended to curse Ye Xiao, presuming his relationship with Wang Dongliang was strong enough that Wang Dongliang would definitely back him up.

But then!

Ye Xiao suddenly kicked the guard in the body, sending him smashing into a desk and violently shattering it before struggling painfully on the ground.

"Ah?" Wang Dongliang and Yan Luo were shocked.

Ye Xiao's kick had just forced the security door open, indicating that Ye Xiao's strength was extraordinary. Although Yan Luo was considered a very strong person in the security department, even he didn't have the confidence to kick the door open like that.

"Ye Xiao, what are you doing..." Wang Dongliang said as he mustered the courage to speak to Ye Xiao.

Wang Dongliang certainly didn't want to be on the receiving end of that kick.

Ye Xiao looked at Wang Dongliang and then turned his gaze to Yan Luo.

"Is your job to play games here? Do you realize that someone just breached Blue Star Technology and nearly took Mr. Xia's life!" Ye Xiao's voice was icy cold.

"Ah?" Yan Luo and Wang Dongliang were truly frightened by Ye Xiao's words, having had no idea.

"Ye Xiao, you're not joking, right!" Wang Dongliang looked at Ye Xiao, becoming somewhat tense. Originally, Yan Luo had said they should be standing guard, but Wang Dongliang thought that it was already after hours; who would they be guarding for? So, he suggested they need not bother and could play CrossFire where Yan Luo's skills were very impressive, prompting Wang Dongliang to want Yan Luo to help him win a few rounds.
