Fang Jing listened to Ye Xiao and looked at the spot Ye Xiao was watching, her originally delicate face suddenly blushed.

"Mind your own eyes!" Fang Jing snorted, glaring at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao simply smiled nonchalantly and said, "I was just checking if your buttons were done up properly. Where did your thoughts go? I'm not as indecent as you imagine, okay?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fang Jing secretly thought, aren't you indecent enough?

Of course, Fang Jing didn't say that out loud.

"How do you plan to investigate this matter, do you need my help?" Fang Jing didn't dwell too much on Ye Xiao's gaze.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and replied, "Why do you care about me? I'm touched."

"Who cares about you? I'm just concerned about Blue Star Technology's company interests," Fang Jing immediately denied.

Ye Xiao chuckled and looked at Fang Jing, saying, "Come on, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Didn't I just say?" Fang Jing said, avoiding Ye Xiao's gaze and looking elsewhere.

Ye Xiao's eyes moved from Fang Jing's puffed-up expression upwards; even her snow-white neck was slightly red, clearly from the earlier embarrassment.

"If there's truly nothing else, it's ten fifty now, I'm going back to play a game." Ye Xiao said, planning to continue playing League of Legends.

Seeing Ye Xiao actually intending to continue gaming, Fang Jing became slightly anxious. To be honest, she really had something to discuss with Ye Xiao, and it wasn't company-related; it was about his personal matters.

"Ye Xiao, if it's not about the company, but my own matter, would you help me?" Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled, paused his gaze from the computer screen, and looked at the beautiful Fang Jing, saying, "Just because you gave me a kiss, I will definitely help you."

"You... can't you stop bringing up what happened that night?" Fang Jing said, slightly annoyed.

Ye Xiao said, "Alright then, tell me."

"That man is in trouble." Fang Jing suddenly looked at Ye Xiao seriously.

That man!

Hearing Fang Jing's words, Ye Xiao immediately realized who Fang Jing was referring to: the man who abandoned Fang Jing's mother and later returned, Fang Jing's father.

Fang Jing was not a frivolous woman; Ye Xiao could see that from her eyes. However, for that man, she had to sacrifice herself. It could be said that if it was someone else that day, Fang Jing would definitely not remain a virgin, simply because Fang Jing shares that man's blood.

Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing, still with a faint smile, but his eyes showed seriousness as he said to Fang Jing, "What do you want me to do?"

"Yesterday, that man was attacked, injured but not killed. I just found out, and he hopes..." Fang Jing hesitated at this point, as it really might not be necessary to involve Ye Xiao in the man's affairs.

Ye Xiao said, "He wants to see me?"

"Yes!" Fang Jing said seriously.

Ye Xiao said, "Is he so confident that I can help him?"

"Because you are Blood Shura!" Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao and said, "He said Blood Shura can definitely help him."

"Do you want me to help him?" Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing.

Fang Jing sighed, then walked to the glass window, looking at the towering buildings outside, saying, "Honestly, I really don't want you to help him, but I know that if anything happens to him, my mom wouldn't survive either. My mom is a foolish woman."

"No... your mom is a romantic woman, I'll help you!" Ye Xiao walked to the glass window.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fang Jing immediately felt a little apologetic and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, thank you."

"Haha, if you could attract me once more, that'd be even better." Ye Xiao chuckled, once again showing that roguish expression.

Fang Jing was suddenly a bit speechless; this was Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao then said, "When should I see him, and who is he?"

"I suppose you're not unfamiliar with Bird City's eight major families, right?" Fang Jing said.

Upon hearing Fang Jing's words, Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Why? Is he one of Bird City's eight major families? I haven't heard of a Fang family among the eight."

"There's indeed no Fang, but there is Liu!"

"Liu?" Ye Xiao was immediately a bit puzzled, looking at Fang Jing, saying, "But your surname is Fang."

"I bear my mother's surname!" Fang Jing replied.

"I see, then what is his name?" Ye Xiao asked Fang Jing.

Fang Jing said to Ye Xiao, "His name is Liu Wenzhuo, the Clan Leader of the Liu family, and also... well, my biological father."

"The Clan Leader of the Liu family?" Ye Xiao found it odd upon hearing Fang Jing's words. Since he was the Clan Leader, how could he possibly be in trouble? Moreover, he even got ambushed and injured. In Bird City, how many people would dare to attack one of the eight major families? The eight major families represent the most formidable powers of Bird City. The person who dared to attack the Clan Leader of the Liu family cannot be an ordinary person, so he asked Fang Jing curiously, "Since he's the Clan Leader of the Liu family, then why would anyone dare to go against him? As far as I know, each of the eight major families is tremendously powerful."

"The Liu family's strength is indeed substantial, but if eighty percent of the people don't follow the Clan Leader's orders, then wouldn't this Clan Leader be nothing but a figurehead?" Fang Jing sighed.

"Oh?" Upon hearing Fang Jing's words, Ye Xiao finally understood the situation. It seemed this Liu Wenzhuo, the Clan Leader of the Liu family, was not having an easy life at all.

Ye Xiao said, "Does he want me to help him kill someone?"

"I'm not too sure, just that he said you could help him. Also, he asked me to tell you that he and you share a common enemy," Fang Jing said.

A common enemy?

Ye Xiao became even more intrigued and more eager to meet this Liu Wenzhuo.

"Alright, when shall we meet?" Ye Xiao asked.

Fang Jing said, "Noon, you can let him treat you to a meal."

Ye Xiao shook his head immediately upon hearing this, saying, "I don't intend to eat his meal, besides, I'm not helping him for his sake."

Obviously, Ye Xiao meant that it was for Fang Jing!

Fang Jing glanced at Ye Xiao and said, "Then I'll treat you to a meal."

"This is even less acceptable!" Ye Xiao replied.

Fang Jing was puzzled, "Why not?"

Ye Xiao said, "I have an appointment at noon."

"An appointment? Is it with Jiang Miaoke?" Fang Jing inquired.

Ye Xiao chuckled lightly and said, "Why, are you jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous? You must be overthinking it," Fang Jing quickly replied to Ye Xiao's words, saying, "I'm just curious, who else would invite you for a meal."

Upon hearing Fang Jing's words, Ye Xiao immediately said, "What you're saying is, I'm a good person, right? Anyway, I have an appointment at noon, so let's do it in the afternoon."

Fang Jing was indeed a bit curious about Ye Xiao's claimed appointment, but she knew she shouldn't ask directly, so she could only say, "Alright then, let's meet at three in the afternoon at Huafeng District, where I live."

"Does Liu Wenzhuo come to your house often?" Ye Xiao asked.

Fang Jing knew what Ye Xiao meant, and immediately said, "Don't worry, when Liu Wenzhuo comes to my house, he always disguises himself. Generally, no one recognizes him. Also, the Liu family is far away in Shangqing District, quite distant from Jinling District, so no one knows about the situation in Huafeng District. Moreover, Liu Wenzhuo has hired some people around Huafeng District. If someone suspicious gets close when Liu Wenzhuo is at Huafeng District, Liu Wenzhuo would know immediately."

"It seems Liu Wenzhuo is really a scared bird now," Ye Xiao chuckled and said.

Fang Jing wasn't bothered by Ye Xiao's remark about her father. In fact, Fang Jing never viewed Liu Wenzhuo as her father. If it weren't for her mother's soft heart, she would have no connection with Liu Wenzhuo.

Fang Jing said, "Yes, he really is a scared bird now, but there's no other way. Currently, although the Liu family still bears the Liu name, almost all the power is controlled by Liu Wenzhuo's second uncle, Liu Shixun. To put it bluntly, he's nothing more than a puppet in Liu Shixun's hands."

A puppet!

Ye Xiao smiled wryly, immediately thinking of the last emperors from history. Weren't they puppets too? Manipulated by others, they were the nominal leaders, but in reality, no one respected them.

When ordinary people are looked down upon, they can at least console themselves by thinking they were born to a lowly fate. But being elevated to a high position yet still scorned could only be fate's cruel joke.

"Then let's meet at Huafeng District," Ye Xiao said.

Fang Jing nodded, seeming somewhat unhappy, looking at Ye Xiao, she said, "Ye Xiao, wait for my call in the afternoon, I'm leaving now."

"Stay and chat a bit longer," Ye Xiao said with a smile at Fang Jing.

"Chat about what?" Fang Jing said, "If I keep talking to you, I might end up crying."

Hearing Fang Jing's words, Ye Xiao was taken aback. Watching Fang Jing leave, Ye Xiao sighed deeply.

If she truly had been abandoned by her father, perhaps it would only hurt for a moment, but this person returned, Ye Xiao knew Fang Jing was really, quite bitter at heart.

However, at this moment, many thoughts passed through Ye Xiao's mind.

Now in Bird City, he was surrounded by enemies. Even though there was the Jiang Family, his enemies were still too numerous. And now Liu Wenzhuo seeking help might really be a good thing. Furthermore, Liu Wenzhuo said they have a common enemy. Who could this enemy be? Could it be another family, or perhaps Liu Shixun is also his enemy?

Ye Xiao asked himself and realized he hadn't heard of Liu Shixun's name before.

However, one thing was for sure, Ye Xiao never engaged in loss-making deals, and there's no such thing as helping without a reason in this world.
