Ye Xiao was rendered speechless upon hearing the black-clad stranger's words. A bit impatiently, he looked at Ye Xiao and said, "What do you really want? You never say who you are, yet you show up everywhere like a ghost. I can't beat you, but that doesn't mean I have to tolerate you."

The black-clad stranger wasn't upset by Ye Xiao's poor attitude; instead, he chuckled and said, "You're about to face great danger, yet you're still concerned about tolerance. I think you should start saying some nice things to me, or otherwise, no one will collect your body once you're dead."

Listening to the stranger's weird words only annoyed Ye Xiao further. Glaring at the stranger, he shouted, "Speak to me respectfully. Let me tell you, I'll live a long life—unless you plan on ending it now, which I can't prevent."

"Me?" The stranger replied, "I have no grievances against you, so why would I want to take your life?"

Ye Xiao was surprised that the stranger wasn't after him. But who would target him now? How many people even knew he was here? Could it be someone from the Zhao family?

Ye Xiao asked, "What do you know exactly?"

"I already told you if you say some nice things to me, I might tell you," the stranger said with a smug smile.

Ye Xiao immediately raised an eyebrow at the stranger and said, "If you don't want to talk, forget it. I don't even know who you are, so how could I possibly beg you? Think again."

"What if I make you beg?"

Ye Xiao set his gaze on the bright moon in the sky and said, "Rather shattered jade than whole clay."

"That's quite the shattered jade than whole clay, but learning to be adaptable can lead to a longer life," the stranger said with a birthday smile, and then added, "Forget it, I won't trouble you anymore. I never intended to disrupt your cohabitation with a few beauties, but circumstances forced me to come."

Cohabiting with a few beauties? Ye Xiao felt speechless and helpless at the stranger's words; he couldn't quite figure out the stranger's identity. Although he could be a friend, Ye Xiao felt uneasy about someone knowing him so well.

No one likes others knowing them completely, at least not tracking their movements entirely. Yet, this black-clad elder seemed to know everything about Ye Xiao, tracking him effortlessly everywhere.

However, Ye Xiao realized that the elder probably had a serious matter to discuss today, possibly related to his life safety, because the elder mentioned imminent danger.

Ye Xiao didn't believe the elder came just to joke around. If that were the case, it would indeed be baffling.

Ye Xiao looked at the black-clad elder and said, "If you're willing to talk, go ahead. If not, leave your way, I should get some sleep."

The stranger chuckled, raised his hand suddenly, and a shadow immediately flew towards Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao reacted quickly, dodging slightly to accurately catch the black object.

However, looking at it, Ye Xiao was surprised to find that it wasn't a concealed weapon but a USB drive.

A USB drive?

Ye Xiao looked at the stranger with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is there anything in this USB drive?"

"This USB drive is your talisman, plus it allows you to easily control the Fu family in the future," the stranger said with a chuckle looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was even more surprised upon hearing this, looking at the USB drive in his hand again and saying, "What's inside?"

"You'll find out when you get back. By tomorrow, I believe, it will surely shock the whole Bird City," the stranger replied.

Ye Xiao, driven by curiosity, asked, "What? Did Fu Tianjue die?"

"Haha, it's difficult for ordinary people to make him die, but if he doesn't, his son could," the stranger said with a mysterious smile.

Ye Xiao immediately looked at the stranger with shock, his face turning cold, and said, "Did you kill Fu Hongyi? Are you trying to frame me?"

"Be civilized? At least I am an elder, your senior. Besides, Fu Hongyi was just in such poor condition that a mere touch would kill him. Do I have to step in? I tell you, I'm more righteous than you. Alright, I won't disturb your time with the beauties. Check the USB carefully later; it signifies your ups and downs in Bird City," the stranger said.

Not waiting for Ye Xiao to speak further, the stranger jumped off the building and disappeared.

Ye Xiao had no interest in chasing after the stranger, focusing on the USB drive in his hand instead.

What the stranger just said was spot on: with Fu Hongyi dead, Fu Tianjue would certainly hold a grudge against him. Ye Xiao was the one who caused Fu Hongyi's severe injury, which was why he faced imminent danger. But what could lead Fu Tianjue to avenge him?

Ye Xiao was very curious about what could make Fu Tianjue change his mind about revenge.

Then, Ye Xiao immediately returned to his room. However, when he got back, Wang Luoxin, Purple Flame, and Cheng Yun were all standing there, and each of them wore a worried expression.

"Ye Xiao, where did you go just now?" Wang Luoxin had also forgotten about the unpleasantness between her and Ye Xiao from over three hours ago, and at this moment, she couldn't hide her concern for him.

Seeing that Ye Xiao was safe and sound, Cheng Yun smiled and said to him, "Hey, are you trying to play some midnight horror game? Jumping off in the middle of the night?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and asked, "Do you have a computer?"

"A computer?" Everyone was surprised when they heard Ye Xiao's question.

Purple Flame immediately said, "I'll get my laptop."

As she spoke, Purple Flame ran outside to her room, and soon she came back with a Lenovo laptop. It was still running.

"Is this League of Legends?" Ye Xiao looked at the computer screen and couldn't help but smile.

Cheng Yun turned to Purple Flame and said, "You're up all night playing games again. I've told you so many times that staying up late playing games is terrible for a woman's skin."

Purple Flame stuck out her tongue playfully and laughed.

Ye Xiao took the laptop and immediately inserted a USB drive.

At this moment, everyone, including Ye Xiao, was staring at the screen. Clearly, they were all eager to see what would appear on the screen.

Soon, the scene appeared.

It didn't take long for everyone to be amazed that the screen showed two people, one lying in bed and one standing by the bedside.

"It's Fu Donglai!" Wang Luoxin instantly recognized the person standing on the computer screen.

Indeed, it was Fu Donglai!

"Why are Fu Donglai and Fu Hongyi there?" Cheng Yun looked at Ye Xiao curiously.

As he saw these two people on the screen, a shocking thought flashed through Ye Xiao's mind. Could it really be like that?

Ye Xiao said, "Watch, it might be very exciting!"

Immediately, everyone held their breath and watched the computer screen intently.

It wasn't long before sounds could be heard from the computer, not loud, but enough for everyone to hear.

"Father!" Fu Hongyi stared at the motionless Fu Hongyi lying in bed and said coldly, "Didn't you love to discipline me? Didn't you prefer your little son? But now you can't see him anymore. Let me tell you, I've long wanted to kill Fu Bin. I didn't expect that Ye Xiao would help me so much today, which was quite unexpected. However, I can't understand why Ye Xiao didn't just kill you quickly."

"Haha, are you very angry hearing this?" Fu Donglai laughed triumphantly and said, "I'll tell you, I've also had many times when I was angry, like when you abandoned mom, causing her to throw herself into the river, or when you married that vixen, which led to my declining status in the Fu family, and then when Fu Bin was born, you regarded him as the heir to the family. But none of this matters because you're going to die. Now, your old man has gone to find his allies. I'm the only one who can enter your room. Oh, I forgot to tell you that your old man, my grandpa Fu Tianjue, has already decided to let me take over the family's matters. Haha, this is something you never expected, obviously. Of course, you couldn't have imagined that Fu Bin would die today, and so will you."

Whether it was because of Fu Donglai's words stimulating Fu Hongyi, Fu Hongyi's body started trembling, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.

The injuries Fu Hongyi had suffered were indeed severe because Ye Xiao had disabled him; now, he was just a crippled man.

As Fu Donglai watched Fu Hongyi lying on the bed, trembling continuously, he burst into unrestrained laughter and pointed at Fu Hongyi, saying, "What? Do you strongly disagree with what I said? Still want to get up and scold me? Haha, unfortunately, you no longer have that ability. Now, you're just a pile of mud. Your life and death are at my mercy. Don't you hate the feeling of approaching death? Haha, I particularly enjoy watching you approach death. Oh, right, you must be wondering why I dare to kill you, right? It's simple: if I kill you now, Grandpa Fu Tianjue will never think it was me, because his mind is full of Ye Xiao. Even if you die now, he'll only blame Ye Xiao for it. Haha, with such a great opportunity, why would I pass it up?"

As Fu Donglai said this, his eyes turned cold, and he took a step towards Fu Hongyi.

"Is this... is this guy really going to commit patricide?" Cheng Yun was shocked, staring wide-eyed at the computer screen. Clearly, she couldn't imagine a child could possibly commit patricide.
