The restaurant finally calmed down slowly, as if nothing had happened just now. However, everyone present understood that something had happened, and moreover, it had been quite intense.

"Ye Xiao, isn't it time to split the money?" After about ten minutes, Fang Jing couldn't help but speak to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing in confusion and smiled, "Split what money?"

"Of course, the money you got from selling me," Fang Jing said, unable to hold back. Perhaps her voice was a bit too loud as it startled everyone in the restaurant. They all turned their attention to the startling Fang Jing, who realized she might have been too loud and blushed without making another sound.

Ye Xiao chuckled inwardly. Indeed, the money had been obtained under the pretense of Fang Jing's name, so it would be reasonable to give her some. Besides, he had already given the money to the lobby manager just now, so it seemed unlikely that he would receive much himself.

Ye Xiao divided the remaining two thousand yuan into two parts, giving a thousand to both Fang Jing and Xia Mingyue.

"I'm not treating today. You decide who's going to," Ye Xiao said as he handed over the money to them.

Fang Jing naturally accepted it and even looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, I think this is a good profession. If we collaborate, we could make tens of thousands each month."

Hearing Fang Jing's words, Ye Xiao could only offer a wry smile. Was this girl thinking too far ahead? She actually considered making this a job.

At that moment, however, Xia Mingyue pushed the money back to Ye Xiao, saying, "I didn't have anything to do with it. I don't want the money. Keep it and treat us to a meal later, Ye Xiao."

"Ming Yue, you should take it. If you don't, Ye Xiao will definitely feel bad," Fang Jing told Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Do you really want me to take it?"

Ye Xiao grinned and replied, "If you truly don't need it, I can hold onto it first."

"Ye Xiao, can't you have a little pride?" Fang Jing immediately glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao just chuckled and said, "Can pride be cashed in for money? The fish is getting cold, let's eat quickly."

Fang Jing rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao, clearly holding him in contempt, but at the same time, she announced that she would be picking up the tab for the meal.

Then, everyone agreed.

Soon, the restaurant's waiters really did bring over several small dishes. Regardless of the amount, it was the thought that counted.

The intense scene from before quickly became a topic of conversation at the various tables. Ye Xiao, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing naturally became the focus of nearly everyone's attention, especially Ye Xiao. His level of interest had even surpassed that of Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing, who were both stunning beauties.

When the fish was nearly finished, suddenly, a brand-new police car stopped at the entrance of the Hua Qianqiu Grilled Fish Restaurant. Four people got off the police car: three of them were police officers, and one had sly, rodent-like features, clearly not a good person. Among the three police officers, the most eye-catching one was a woman in police uniform who walked at the back. Her uniform could not conceal her enviable, shapely figure. Her face was just right, any fatter would be too much, any thinner would be too little.

When the police entered, the lobby manager immediately approached them.

"Officers, have you come to dine or is this an official business?" the lobby manager asked with a smile towards the three police officers.

The leading police officer had a square face and a stern expression.

"Was there a fight here just now?" Chen Jianguo asked the lobby manager, his face cold.

Chen Jianguo had been feeling pretty annoyed these past few days. Two days ago, Li Zhi insisted on dismissing Zhang Youchen, but Zhang Youchen was a relative of Chen Jianguo and had always helped Chen out. However, since Zhang Youchen had said something he shouldn't have, Chen Jianguo had been worried about this matter for the last two days.

But, having just finished lunch with a few people at noon, he received a call from Sun Ling, who said his brother had been beaten and hoped Chen Jianguo could lend a hand. Chen Jianguo had received quite a few benefits from Sun Ling before, so when Sun Ling asked, Chen Jianguo naturally couldn't refuse. Moreover, if he could catch a villainous criminal at this moment, it would be a great achievement, which might even help with the matter of Zhang Youchen's dismissal.

Surprised by Chen Jianguo's question, the lobby manager hesitated momentarily. It had been less than an hour, so why had the police arrived? He hadn't seen anyone report to the police. But just at that moment, the lobby manager suddenly spotted the sly-looking fellow beside the police, who was none other than Wu Zhenshuai's underling—he was one of the ones who had not been injured just now.

"You…" the lobby manager said, astonished as he looked towards Wu Zhenshuai's underling.

"What about me?" The man glared at the lobby manager and said, "Is that person who started the trouble still here?"

"They're still here!" The lobby manager had just taken money from Ye Xiao and now truly didn't know what to do.

Ye Xiao had noticed the arrival of the police a while ago and had already glanced at the newcomers from the corner of his eye.

"Enemies on a narrow road!" Ye Xiao laughed softly.

Xia Mingyue also looked over and seemed to recognize Chen Jianguo. She said with puzzlement, "Why does that police officer look so familiar?"

"The day before yesterday, I was reported by Jiang Miaoke, and one of the people preparing to interrogate me harshly was him, he seems to be some kind of captain," Ye Xiao said to Xia Mingyue.

It was only then that Xia Mingyue remembered, and at the same time, her brows furrowed as she said, "Why is he here? What does he want?"

Ye Xiao said with a soft laugh, "Let's wait and see."

Ye Xiao also noticed Wu Zhenshuai's underling and naturally understood that it must have been because of Wu Zhenshuai that this Chen Jianguo had come.

However, thinking about it, Ye Xiao also understood, who was Wu Zhenshuai? He was an underling of Master Ma of Hong Company, one of the big bosses of Hong Company. Getting a captain from the Guard Bureau to do his bidding shouldn't be a problem. As the saying goes, cops and robbers are all one family, so who you help doesn't really matter.

At that moment, the underling caught sight of Ye Xiao and immediately whispered something to Chen Jianguo, pointing at Ye Xiao.

Following the direction of the man's hand, Chen Jianguo looked over and saw the person with their back to him. However, Ye Xiao was sitting with his back towards Chen Jianguo, but Xia Mingyue, who was sitting opposite Ye Xiao, was seen by Chen Jianguo. After seeing Xia Mingyue, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but be secretly surprised. How could it be her?

After the incident the day before, Chen Jianguo had also seen Xia Mingyue. Xia Mingyue was the CEO of Blue Star Technology with a profound background, something Chen Jianguo was well aware of.

Yet now, instructed by the Hong Company underling that it was over there, Chen Jianguo still approached.

As he arrived at the table, Ye Xiao's voice suddenly rang out.

"Captain Chen, long time no see, why don't you sit down and have something to eat?" Ye Xiao did not turn around, but he already knew Chen Jianguo had arrived.

As soon as Chen Jianguo heard the voice, he knew immediately who it was!

What a small world!

This phrase was in Chen Jianguo's heart at the moment.

Ye Xiao slowly looked up, smiling at Chen Jianguo, when he noticed that Feng Jiao was the policewoman following beside Chen Jianguo. If it wasn't Feng Jiao, who else could it be?

"Yo? Isn't this Officer Feng? Haven't seen you in a couple of days, and you've become even prettier," Ye Xiao said to Feng Jiao with a grin.

Feng Jiao, upon seeing that the person was Ye Xiao and hearing his frivolous words, blushed slightly and said, "Why is it you two?"

"Why wouldn't it be us? Okay, let's talk about what you're here for now," Ye Xiao said.

At this time, seeing that Ye Xiao seemed to know Chen Jianguo, the Hong Company underling, fearing that Chen Jianguo wouldn't handle Ye Xiao, quickly said, "Captain Chen, is it him? Our boss... Oh no, our Mr. Wu is the one he beat up."

Chen Jianguo, hearing the words of the Hong Company underling, originally did not want to provoke Ye Xiao, but now, with the matter pressed upon him, he had no choice but to look at Ye Xiao and say, "Come with me."

Ye Xiao immediately said with a laugh, "Where to? Captain Chen, surely you can't just come and arrest someone because of an accusation. First of all, you don't have any evidence, do you?"

"How can there be no evidence?" the Hong Company underling immediately said, glaring at Ye Xiao, "I am."

"You?" Ye Xiao let out a chuckle, then said, "What are you?"

"What did you say? You... you dare to insult someone in front of the police?" the Hong Company underling asked in surprise, looking at Ye Xiao.

"Yes, I insulted someone in front of the police, what can you do about it? If I remember correctly, insulting someone doesn't break the criminal law," Ye Xiao said with a chuckle.

"You..." The Hong Company underling was really at a loss for words now. Indeed, insulting someone didn't seem to be against the law.

Chen Jianguo, looking coldly at Ye Xiao, said, "Can you prove that you are innocent? If you can, I will apologize to you."

"Of course I can, everyone present here can vouch for me!" Ye Xiao said with a light laugh.

Chen Jianguo immediately said, "Oh? Then let them come forward and say it."

"No way, they aren't stupid. Even if someone wanted to come forward and vouch for me right now, I would stop them. They absolutely can't do that, because I'm afraid they would become good people and then get retaliated against by bad people. There is a way to prove my innocence, though, I just don't know if the police would be willing to cooperate?" Ye Xiao said with a smile, each word like a thorn.

Chen Jianguo looked at the diners around them, then looked to Ye Xiao and said, "Okay, tell me, how do you want to prove it?"

Ye Xiao said, "It's simple. Let's simulate a Blue Alliance vote, hand a piece of paper and a pen to everyone at each table, and let them write whether I'm innocent or not. They can write 'yes' or 'no'. Of course, if someone is still afraid, just write 'abstain'."

Chen Jianguo, hearing Ye Xiao's words, frowned. He knew that this would be greatly advantageous for Ye Xiao, so he immediately said, "Those who write 'abstain' might be afraid of you too. So, if they write 'abstain', we will add it to the votes that you are not innocent."

Ye Xiao looked at Chen Jianguo, then gave a faint smile, turned to the diners, and said, "Righteousness and evil, it's up to you to decide."
