Ye Xiao looked toward Wang Dongliang and said, "It seems you've grown tired of being a director. Yan Luo, right now there are over a dozen people dead upstairs. You will be responsible for waiting at the door; someone will come to collect the bodies."

Yan Luo immediately straightened up upon hearing Ye Xiao's words and nodded in agreement.

Wang Dongliang still didn't quite believe it and said, "Is that really true?"

"You really are useless!" Ye Xiao huffed coldly, and after speaking, he turned and walked out of the security department, leaving Wang Dongliang standing there, dazed.

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Wang Dongliang obviously felt very unhappy, but Ye Xiao had already left.

"Hmph, he's just relying on Mr. Xia's protection," Wang Dongliang sneered with disdain.

However, just at that moment, he noticed Yan Luo heading out.

"Where do you think you're going!" Wang Dongliang looked at Yan Luo and immediately demanded.

Yan Luo replied, "Didn't Ye Xiao just tell me to go..."

"He told you to go? Who is he? Is he your superior? Hmph, I'm telling you not to go, and you listen to Ye Xiao's words? Unless Mr. Xia calls himself, you're not allowed to leave!" At this moment, Wang Dongliang truly detested Ye Xiao, so hearing that Yan Luo was about to carry out Ye Xiao's order made Wang Dongliang feel even worse—it was like someone was trying to steal his beloved woman from him.

"Director Wang, I think it's better to go. I don't think Ye Xiao was joking," Yan Luo said, looking seriously at Wang Dongliang.

"I don't care if he's joking or not, I said you're not allowed to go, or else, get out of here!" Wang Dongliang shouted, his face showing displeasure as he glared at Yan Luo, seemingly forgetting the frivolous moment he had asked Yan Luo to help him play CrossFire.

Yan Luo looked at Wang Dongliang for a full ten seconds.

"What are you looking at? What, are you not convinced?" Having just been wronged by Ye Xiao, Wang Dongliang was now looking to take it out on someone else. Still loudly berating, he continued, "If you dare not listen to me, I'm telling you to get lost right now."

After hearing Wang Dongliang's words, Yan Luo didn't talk back or retaliate; instead, he simply turned and walked out of the security department.

Yan Luo's thoughts were simple at this moment: to carry out the task that Ye Xiao had just assigned. He couldn't explain why, but he felt that he should listen to Ye Xiao—perhaps just as Ye Xiao had said, this Wang Dongliang really was beyond help.

Meanwhile, after Ye Xiao left the security department, he immediately went to the roadside where there was a red Ferrari. Upon reaching the car, he took out the car keys, unlocked it remotely, then sat in the driver's seat.

When Ye Xiao got in, a voice came from the back seat.

"How did it go?"

Ye Xiao glanced at the rearview mirror. Sitting behind him were two breathtaking beauties—who else could they be but Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing?

Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue with a smile and said, "It's all taken care of. Oh, and by the way, I have a suggestion for you."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's statement, Xia Mingyue said, "Go ahead."

"Wang Dongliang is not suitable to be the director of the logistics department. If possible, having Yan Luo replace him might be better!" Ye Xiao said.

"Yan Luo is just a security guard, how could he do it?" Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao questioningly and said, "If you think Wang Dongliang is truly problematic, then how about you replace him? Having a security guard as the director of logistics is really..."

Ye Xiao replied with a slight smile, "I'm just a driver, after all. I'm just making a suggestion."

As he spoke, Ye Xiao started the Ferrari and began to drive off slowly.

And after the Ferrari had left, a small truck arrived at the entrance of Blue Star Technology.

On the road!

"My dad called just now. He said he has already made contact with the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family took this matter very seriously. However, I don't know why, but the old master of the Jiang Family said he wants to meet you!" Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao, and as she spoke, she herself felt very strange. Ye Xiao was just a driver—how could he have caught the attention of the old master of the Jiang Family, who even wanted to meet him in person?

At that moment, Fang Jing cheerfully commented, "Ye Xiao, you're quite influential."

Ye Xiao, hearing Fang Jing's comment, couldn't help but smile bitterly. This girl knew too much about his business; hopefully, she wouldn't blab about it.

Then Ye Xiao said in a deliberately surprised tone, "The old master of the Jiang Family? He must be a very important person. Why would such a figure want to meet with me? Could it be that he has a relative named Ye Xiao too? If that's the case, I really should play along—it could be a quick ticket to a wealthy family."

"Ye Xiao, have you no shame!" Fang Jing couldn't hold back any longer. She thought, just act, but you have to avoid overdoing it. If she, Fang Jing, didn't know Ye Xiao's identity, it might be another story, but the problem was, she knew.

Xia Mingyue was listening to Ye Xiao, but suddenly heard Fang Jing start cursing at him, which made her even more puzzled.

"Of course, why not? People need face like trees need bark," Ye Xiao, looking at Xia Mingyue through the rearview mirror, inquired, "So, Mr. Xia, where are you heading now? Still going to Tulip District?"

Xia Mingyue replied, "My dad wants me to go over to his place, while Jinger wants to go home."

"Alright, then I'll drop Assistant Fang off first. Where do you live, Assistant Fang?" At that moment, what Ye Xiao wanted most was to quickly get rid of Fang Jing. Having her around was like living with a ticking time bomb!

Yet, it seemed as though Fang Jing had seen right through Ye Xiao's thoughts as she said, "Ye Xiao, are you trying to get rid of me quickly so you can bully Ming Yue by yourself? I'm telling you, your cunning plots won't work. I've decided to go have dinner with Ming Yue at her dad's, and afterward, you can take me home."

Upon hearing Fang Jing's words, Xia Mingyue didn't think much of it and said, "That's fine, my dad's cooking is really delicious."

"Exactly, I'm going just for Mr. Xia's cooking," Fang Jing said with a smug face.

However, when Ye Xiao saw Fang Jing through the rearview mirror, he could distinctly see a sinister smile in her eyes. That smile sent shivers down his spine, and he couldn't help wondering what sort of scheme Fang Jing was up to.

Following that, Xia Mingyue gave Ye Xiao the directions to her father's place.

The Ferrari sped through the brightly lit Bird City.

Jinxiu Garden, slightly eastward in Central District.

Central District is the heart of Bird City, home to both the municipal and state government, boasting a level of prosperity that does not pale in comparison to any first-tier city. And nestled in the priciest area of Central District, Jinxiu Garden is not a place where just anyone can afford to live. The district is primarily made up of villas, so those who reside here are unquestionably wealthy—without tens of millions in assets, one wouldn't be able to afford the housing here.

If Tulip District is a rather decent neighborhood in Jinling District, then Jinxiu Garden in Bird City is second to none.

Xia's Villa, which is located in Jinxiu Garden, enjoys the most spacious terrain and is one of the few with a broad courtyard. From this, one can tell that even in this affluent area, the Xia family still ranks among the top tycoons.

The Ferrari slowly pulled into the independent courtyard of Xia's Villa, and the three of them got out.

Right then, Xia Nanhai and a middle-aged woman were waiting at the entrance. She had maintained her beauty so well that at first glance, one would think she was a woman in her thirties, extremely elegant and undoubtedly beautiful. Looking at this woman, Ye Xiao could see that she must be Xia Mingyue's mother. He finally understood why Xia Mingyue was a beauty capable of toppling empires—clearly, because she inherited her mother's genes.

"Hello, Uncle Xia! Hello, Aunt Zhang!" Fang Jing was quite the sweet talker. After getting out of the car, she immediately ran up to Xia Nanhai and Zhang Meiling, greeting them cheerily.

Zhang Meiling was the first to respond, "Jinger is getting prettier by the day. I haven't seen you for half a month, and you've become even more striking!"

Hearing Zhang Meiling's praise, Fang Jing giggled and said, "Aunt Zhang, you flatter me too much."

"Dad! Mom!" Xia Mingyue approached the two people she was closest to—it had been half a month since she had truly come back.

"My Yueer, come here, let mommy have a look at you!" Zhang Meiling's eyes reddened as she spotted Xia Mingyue; obviously, they had been waiting here just to see their precious daughter as soon as possible. The saying "a son is a worry for his mother" couldn't be more true.

Zhang Meiling, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing, chatting and laughing, prepared to go inside the villa. However, at that moment, Xia Nanhai was continuously glancing over at Ye Xiao, who was standing by the Ferrari.

"Ye Xiao, what are you still doing there? Do I really need to come over and invite you?" Xia Nanhai laughed heartily and called out to Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing Xia Nanhai's invitation, Ye Xiao quickly chuckled and walked over, saying, "Chairman, you jest. I'm just hesitating, after all, I'm just Mr. Xia's driver. I've never heard of a subordinate warranting such an entry."

"Then don't come in just yet!" Xia Nanhai said.

Hearing Xia Nanhai's words, both Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were puzzled. However, when they saw Xia Nanhai walk up to Ye Xiao, they shared a knowing smile and then followed Zhang Meiling into the villa.

Xia Nanhai walked into the courtyard and stood alongside Ye Xiao, who pulled out a pack of cigarettes—Xiyan Cigarettes, costing twenty-one yuan a pack.

"Chairman, do you smoke these?" Ye Xiao asked Xia Nanhai.

Xia Nanhai immediately replied, "Ye Xiao, are you trying to disrespect me today? What's wrong with that cigarette? Back in my toughest days, I used to smoke cheap loose ones!"

Xia Nanhai took the cigarette that Ye Xiao offered.

Ye Xiao lit the cigarette for Xia Nanhai and said, "Chairman, the Jiang Family should be able to counterbalance the Zhao family right?"

"Whether they can really depends on you!" Xia Nanhai said with a smile.

Hearing Xia Nanhai's response, Ye Xiao was momentarily puzzled and lit his cigarette, smilingly asking, "What do you mean by that?"
