Regarding the Jiang Family, Ye Xiao was quite grateful. Although he had saved Jiang Miaoke before, the fact that the Jiang Family was willing to negotiate with the Zhao family for his sake proved that they considered him one of their own.

However, at this moment, the name that emerged in Ye Xiao's mind was neither the Jiang family nor the Zhao family, but the Plum Blossom Group.

Those people from last night must have held significant weight within the Plum Blossom Group, hence their intent to kill him.

Ye Xiao thought that if he had directly gone to the Jiang Family last night, instead of getting off midway, he would have known by now why there were people who wanted him dead.

Plum Blossom Group!

All his misfortunes stemmed from the Plum Blossom Group. If he wanted to be safe, there was only one way to do it—to eliminate the Plum Blossom Group.

"Scared?" Just then, Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao and asked with a light smile.

Ye Xiao looked up at Xia Mingyue, nodded, and said, "Of course I'm scared. I'm exposed while they lurk in the shadows, which is very disadvantageous for me."

"You could run away," Xia Mingyue suggested seriously as she looked at Ye Xiao.

Run away?

Of course, Ye Xiao could run; he could flee to another city, only to be accidentally discovered by them, then escape again to another city, or another country. A man is born to stand between heaven and earth; what's the point if he has to run away all the time?

Ye Xiao chuckled and looked at Xia Mingyue, saying, "I think Bird City is nice, so I'm not planning on leaving. I want to stay here because I'm scared. Because of that, I want to turn those who scare me into those who are scared of me. Isn't that right?"

Xia Mingyue listened to Ye Xiao's words, lost in thought for a moment. She had imagined that Ye Xiao might not leave, but who could have thought he would stay in such a manner?

"Hmm, but you know about that organization, and you should know its strength. The Jiang Family knows it too, so they told my father that the organization is thousands of times stronger than the Zhao family. Even if the Jiang Family goes all out, they might not be able to defeat that organization," Xia Mingyue said.

Xia Mingyue, looking puzzled at Ye Xiao, asked, "What do you mean when you say the time is about right?"

Ye Xiao immediately replied with a smile, "It's time to go to work, of course. What, don't tell me you aren't planning to go to work today?"

That's when Xia Mingyue remembered she had to go to work.

Xia Mingyue said, "Then you should stay with me all the time. Since Old Man Zhao has said he won't do anything to me, it should be the same for you. Staying with me might be to your benefit."

"But staying with you could also have disadvantages," Ye Xiao pointed out.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Xiao said, "I believe if you keep thwarting their plans, you will become a target as well."

"Really?" asked Xia Mingyue feebly, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

"Yes!" This wasn't Ye Xiao's voice but Fang Jing's.

Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing.

Fang Jing said, "Personally, I think it's better for Ye Xiao to keep his distance from you. Otherwise, if those assassins make a mistake, it won't be fun."

"Do you hate me that much?" Ye Xiao turned to look at Fang Jing.

"Who asked you to take advantage of me!" Fang Jing glared at Ye Xiao.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao almost had the urge to spit blood again. Who had taken advantage of whom? It was obviously Fang Jing who had kissed him forcefully that day.

But how would Xia Mingyue know these things? So when she heard Fang Jing, she immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said sternly, "Ye Xiao, how could you take advantage of Fang Jing? I'm telling you, you may be good at fighting, but if you dare to do anything inappropriate to Jinger, I'll fight you."

"Mr. Xia, do you really think I'm that kind of person? It was actually Assistant Fang…" Ye Xiao tried to speak out about how he had been taken advantage of under the bright moonlight that night, to clarify his innocence.
