Ye Xiao looked at Zheng Lingshan and said, "Is it settled?"

Zheng Lingshan glanced at Ye Xiao, nodded, and said nothing.

Ye Xiao said, "Since it's settled, don't be in such a rush to leave."

Saying this, Ye Xiao stood up and walked straight towards Zhu Dong. Zhu Dong couldn't believe this scrawny guy actually wanted to come over and fight him.

"You're the one courting death." Zhu Dong, being quite the strong man, didn't take Ye Xiao seriously at all and rushed towards Ye Xiao like an arrow, throwing a punch.

The punch came swiftly. Although Zheng Lingshan knew Ye Xiao had some skills, she was still startled. However, Ye Xiao did not disappoint her in the slightest. He easily dodged Zhu Dong's punch with a slight tilt of his head, then chuckled and grabbed Zhu Dong's arm.

Zhu Dong was stunned for a moment. He was a bit slow to react, realizing that this youth, not very tall or strong, had easily dodged his punch and even grabbed his arm. Zhu Dong quickly tried to pull back his arm, but to his surprise, he found his arm was stuck like it was caught in an iron grip and couldn't move.

Zhu Dong was immediately shocked and, without thinking, swung his other fist straight at Ye Xiao's other side, trying to force Ye Xiao to let go.

But Ye Xiao possessed that unyielding spirit, and even if the sky collapsed, he wouldn't let go of his hand.

However, Ye Xiao was not one to simply dodge and defend, so when Zhu Dong's fist aimed at his cheek, Ye Xiao suddenly yanked hard.

Because Zhu Dong's arm was firmly gripped by Ye Xiao, this yank made Zhu Dong lose balance. Not only did that punch miss, but he also spun around like a top on the spot. Luckily, Ye Xiao grabbed him again, preventing Zhu Dong from falling to the ground.

Slap!

A slap landed on Zhu Dong's cheek, leaving him stupefied. It took him a few seconds to feel the burning sensation on his cheek.

"This slap is for Zheng Lingshan. You've dared to lay hands on her; this is just a minor punishment!" With one slap, Ye Xiao left five bright red fingerprints on Zhu Dong's face, and bloodstains at the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Dong immediately looked at Ye Xiao in astonishment and shouted, "You dare hit me?"

Ye Xiao gave Zhu Dong no chance to yell, and another slap landed on Zhu Dong's other cheek, immediately leaving another set of five red fingerprints.

Zhu Dong originally wanted to scream, but this slap forced him to swallow it back.

At this moment, Zhu Dong's cheeks felt like they were roasting over a furnace, with a bit of chili oil on top—it was a truly fiery sensation.

"This slap is for those innocent girls you forcibly occupied." Ye Xiao said again.

With these two slaps, Zhu Dong sat straight down on the ground, blood staining both corners of his mouth, and now there was blood on his nose as well.

"I-I'm bleeding?" Zhu Dong felt a warm sensation by his nose, touched it, and was startled by the blood.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Blood? Do you call that blood? That's clearly just dirty water."

Zhu Dong immediately looked up at Ye Xiao. After being slapped twice by Ye Xiao, how could Zhu Dong possibly swallow his anger? So he shouted at Ye Xiao, "Who the hell are you? How dare you hit me? I'm telling you, I'll make sure you can't leave this sales office."

Upon hearing Zhu Dong's words, Ye Xiao immediately stepped forward again.

But this time, he was stopped by Zheng Lingshan, who clearly didn't want Ye Xiao to go too far. After all, in this society governed by law, at least in the eyes of ordinary people like Zheng Lingshan, the law is a pretty formidable thing.

Seeing Ye Xiao being held back by Zheng Lingshan, Zhu Dong immediately jumped up and pointed at Zheng Lingshan and Ye Xiao, saying, "I have been physically attacked by this bastard. I want him jailed."

"Haha, if I'm going to jail, then I'll just cripple you, so my crime is bigger. Don't you think that's right?" Ye Xiao cheerfully walked towards Zhu Dong again.

Zhu Dong had just been beaten by Ye Xiao, so he was very scared. Seeing Ye Xiao coming towards him, he immediately wanted to run out, but Ye Xiao swiftly blocked the door.

Ye Xiao said, "Trying to run? I have nothing better to do right now, and I just had a full meal. Don't you think we should have a good talk?"

"You… you move aside. I have nothing to talk about with you." Zhu Dong was still a bit tough at this moment, thinking that as long as he got out of this room, he could order the security guards to beat Ye Xiao.

But with Ye Xiao standing at the door, Zhu Dong didn't dare to break through forcefully. After all, if he forced his way through, it was unclear whether the door would be broken or he would be broken by Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled at the anxious, fearful, and somewhat terrified Zhu Dong and said, "Do you really think that after walking out this door, you can have me caught? If you truly think so, I'll let you go now. But if something unfavorable happens to you afterward, then you can't say I didn't warn you."

"What do you mean by this?" Zhu Dong wasn't a fool. Listening to Ye Xiao's words, he knew there was definitely more to this story, which made Zhu Dong hesitant to leave, even though Ye Xiao had stepped away from the door.

Ye Xiao returned to the chair and sat down, then smiled at Zhu Dong and said, "Attempted rape, although not as severe as rape, do you think there's a risk of going to jail?"

Zhu Dong looked at Ye Xiao and immediately furrowed his brows, enduring the stinging pain on his cheek. At the same time, he was thinking about what Ye Xiao said when he slapped him the second time, as if this guy knew he had toyed with other women.

"You have no evidence. Nothing happened between Zheng Lingshan and me, so I'm not afraid of you suing me. But you, you hit me, my face is solid evidence." Zhu Dong shouted loudly at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao listened to Zhu Dong's words, smiled, and said, "Why so loud? Do you really want others to hear? Or do you really think you're completely safe now? I doubt it."

Ye Xiao's words made Zhu Dong a bit confused because, in his view, he was completely safe. After all, even though it was attempted rape, there was no evidence, and the law cares about evidence, without which nobody would make a rash judgment.

At this moment, Ye Xiao looked at Zheng Lingshan beside him.

Zheng Lingshan nodded, then took out her phone and pressed a few buttons. It wasn't long before a voice came from the phone.

Listening to the voice from the phone, Zhu Dong's face quickly darkened.

Because the voice was from an earlier conversation between Zhu Dong and Zheng Lingshan. The recording must have started from the moment Zheng Lingshan entered the room.

The recording was only seven or eight minutes long, but it contained all the necessary content.

Having listened to the recording, Zhu Dong's expression turned extremely cold.

"Zheng Lingshan, how dare you set me up." Zhu Dong glared furiously at Zheng Lingshan, understanding fully what the recording meant.

Zheng Lingshan looked coldly at Zhu Dong. She knew that Zhu Dong was not someone who would repent. Giving him a chance would only make him act worse.

So, Zheng Lingshan didn't say a word and stood beside Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Dong with a smile and said, "Now we can have a calm discussion. I believe you must be willing to have a good talk with me."

Zhu Dong looked at Ye Xiao again, and that seemingly innocent smile suddenly felt like a face more evil than a devil's.

"What do you want?" Zhu Dong realized it was fortunate he hadn't acted rashly. If he had, the recording might not have been just for his ears, and if a fourth person had heard it, Zhu Dong would be finished.

Ye Xiao looked at the ever-changing expression on Zhu Dong's face and chuckled, "Why so tense? Where's the bravado you had in the noodle shop?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Dong was momentarily stunned, secretly guessing if this young man had been there earlier. Was it his conversation with Ma Wei that led him into this trap?

Zhu Dong now truly regretted it to the core.

Zhu Dong looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I don't understand how Zheng Lingshan knew about the drugging."

"Didn't you forget about the text message Zheng Lingshan received at the last minute?"

"Was that text from you?" Zhu Dong glared at Ye Xiao.

"You're so smart."

Zhu Dong felt a bit bitter at that moment, having toyed with many women, he was now caught in a woman's trap.

Zhu Dong looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "What do you really want? Or what do you want from me?"

"Want something?" Zhu Dong laughed heartily and said to Ye Xiao, "What I want is really simple. From now on, here, I hope you take good care of Zheng Lingshan. Whether it's promotions or bonuses, give Zheng Lingshan more chances. Oh, and by the way, I forgot to tell you, I am with the government."

As Ye Xiao spoke, he took out his small red book and waved it.

Zhu Dong glanced at the red book and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Ha ha, whoever I am, I don't need to report to you. You don't have to believe me, but you should believe this recording. All right, now hand over some compensation for emotional distress," said Ye Xiao.

"What?" Zhu Dong couldn't believe his ears.
