"Don't you want to compensate?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Dong, who seemed unwilling to pay, and immediately said, "What? You still don't want to cover the losses? Fine, if you don't want to compensate, let's discuss this further."

"I'll compensate, I've accepted my fate today, alright?" Zhu Dong looked at Ye Xiao, his face burning with pain, but he realized there's no way out; it's impossible not to pay today. He thought he was shameless, but who could have imagined Ye Xiao is even more shameless?

"Don't be upset, I really didn't force you. If you're not willing, I definitely won't force you. I'm a law-abiding person," Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Dong with a smile.

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Dong looked helpless, then took out his wallet, which had over a thousand yuan, looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Is...is this enough? If not, I can go and get some more."

Ye Xiao looked like he was unaffected, leaning back in his chair, smiling and saying to Zhu Dong, "You're saying it wrong. It's not me who's mentally traumatized; you should ask Shanshan if this money is enough. My mental state is perfectly fine."

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Dong then turned to Zheng Lingshan and said, "Shanshan, it was all my fault earlier. I was out of my mind. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me. You see..."

Zhu Dong didn't finish, but the meaning was clearly hoping to get Zheng Lingshan's forgiveness.

Zheng Lingshan really didn't plan to extort money from Zhu Dong over the matter, so she looked at him and said, "Brother Zhu, I just want to work well and get the salary I deserve. I don't want this money, just hope that in the future, no one will make things difficult for me here."

Hearing Zheng Lingshan's words, Zhu Dong quickly said, "Shanshan, rest assured, from now on, in this sales department, whatever you want to do, just say it. If anyone dares to disagree, I'll fire them immediately. No one will dare to bully you; if anyone does, they'll know my power."

"Thank you, Brother Zhu." Zheng Lingshan said plainly.

"Hehe, Shanshan, what you said, that's only what I should do." At this moment, Zhu Dong didn't know what else to say. Ye Xiao and Zheng Lingshan had him in a tight spot, so he could only speak after reading their expressions.

Later Zheng Lingshan said nothing, and Zhu Dong quickly looked at Ye Xiao, chuckling, "Is this okay?"

Ye Xiao immediately laughed softly, saying, "Since Shanshan has no objections, let's leave it at that."

"The recording!" Zhu Dong looked at the phone in Zheng Lingshan's hand.

Ye Xiao immediately raised an eyebrow at Zhu Dong and said, "We won't do anything to ruin someone's future. You don't need to worry about this recording. It can disappear automatically or become thousands of copies instantly. Of course, that's for you to decide. Is there any problem now?"

"No...no more!" Zhu Dong realized it'd be quite impossible to take the video away.

Ye Xiao then looked at Zheng Lingshan, knowing she hadn't eaten yet, so he smiled and said, "Shanshan, hungry? How about I go out with you for a bite?"

"Not feeling like eating!" Zheng Lingshan said, head down.

After experiencing such a thing, how could Zheng Lingshan be in the mood to eat?

But Ye Xiao smiled and said, "A person needs to eat; skipping a meal will make you hungry. You still need to eat. By the way, what's Uncle Zheng eating alone at home for lunch?"

"No idea, maybe he's just warming up some leftovers from breakfast," Zheng Lingshan said.

"That's not right, just eating leftovers won't do," Ye Xiao said as he glanced at Zhu Dong, then said, "Mr. Zhu, I think Shanshan should take the afternoon off. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Dong quickly said, "Definitely, definitely, I approve."

"Shanshan, you heard it, your boss has approved. Just right, let's go grab something to eat and bring some food back for Uncle Zheng," Ye Xiao said.

Zheng Lingshan said, "There's no need."

"There is, there is!" Ye Xiao said, "Alright, let's go. Mr. Zhu, come down with us."

At this moment, the fingerprints on Zhu Dong's face were quite obvious, so he really didn't want to go out now. After all, going out means letting others see his face, which is clearly not good.

"I'll...I'll go out later," Zhu Dong said, somewhat embarrassed, forcing a smile.

Ye Xiao said, "I think you should come down with us, otherwise someone might misunderstand Shanshan. That wouldn't be good for her. As Shanshan's leader, Mr. Zhu should be very concerned about her, right?"

"This..." Zhu Dong was suddenly in a difficult position.

"Mr. Zhu, are you hesitating?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Dong and sneered.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhu Dong felt a bit bitter and thought for a moment. There shouldn't be many people downstairs now, so it shouldn't cause much trouble, and it's clear Ye Xiao insists on going. If Zhu Dong refuses, Ye Xiao might get angry.

Right now, Zhu Dong is very afraid of Ye Xiao getting angry.

"No...no hesitation!" Zhu Dong quickly said.

Ye Xiao laughed, "No hesitation, good. Alright, let's go."

Ye Xiao and Zheng Lingshan immediately stepped out the door, with Zhu Dong following behind them.

Just as they walked out, they saw the young man named Ma Wei standing near Zhu Dong's doorway. Seeing Ye Xiao and Zheng Lingshan come out, he hurriedly wanted to leave, but Ye Xiao called out to him.

"Bro, don't go, leaving now will certainly be annoying," Ye Xiao said with a light chuckle.

Ma Wei stopped immediately after hearing Ye Xiao's words and turned to glance at Zheng Lingshan, who was glaring at him at the moment.

Ma Wei felt a bit uneasy at this point.

"Come here!" Ye Xiao looked towards Ma Wei and said.

Ma Wei didn't dare to go over; he knew something had already gone wrong. He said, "Why should I go over? I have something to do."

"Get the hell over here," Zhu Dong also saw Ma Wei at this moment, and seeing him made Zhu Dong furious — this guy had really screwed him over today.

"Brother Zhu, hehe, what's up?" Ma Wei hurriedly turned his head, giggling at Zhu Dong when he heard his voice.

"You're asking me what's up?" Zhu Dong immediately looked at Ye Xiao and cursed, "Damn it, if it weren't for you, how could I..."

Zhu Dong wanted to say 'if it weren't for Ma Wei, how could he have drugged Zheng Lingshan,' but he felt that although he wanted to say it, it wasn't appropriate.

Ma Wei now also noticed the injuries on Zhu Dong's face and immediately showed concern, saying to Zhu Dong, "Brother Zhu, what's going on with the injuries on your face? Who did this to you?"

Ma Wei originally wanted to show some concern for Zhu Dong to calm him down a bit, but little did he know that the so-called injury was now Zhu Dong's biggest taboo.

Zhu Dong wasn't all that angry initially, but hearing Ma Wei mention the injuries made him furious. He roared, "How dare you mention it! I'll cripple you today!"

With that, Zhu Dong charged at Ma Wei, looking like he was intent on beating Ma Wei until his teeth were scattered all over the ground.

Terrified, Ma Wei immediately wanted to run.

"Mr. Zhu, don't be impulsive. He's your good brother. You guys can sort this out here; we'll be on our way. Ma Wei, you come here," Ye Xiao said, looking at Ma Wei.

Ma Wei didn't dare to approach at this time.

Seeing Ma Wei being disobedient, Zhu Dong immediately said to him, "Didn't you hear that? Or are you deaf? Come over here."

Hearing Zhu Dong's words made Ma Wei even more uneasy.

Ye Xiao said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu won't hit you."

Ma Wei hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Ye Xiao, though he was prepared to flee from Zhu Dong's clutches at any moment.

When Ma Wei finally reached Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao smiled at him and said, "I want to ask you something and hope you'll answer truthfully."

Zhu Dong quickly said to Ma Wei, "Ma Wei, answer exactly as this gentleman asks. If you dare not tell the truth, don't think about surviving here in the future."

Ma Wei was suddenly a bit annoyed with Zhu Dong, but he did not dare to say anything; he just looked towards Ye Xiao and said, "Go ahead and ask."

Ye Xiao asked, "Where did you get the drugs you have?"

"Well..." Ma Wei hesitated at Ye Xiao's question. As someone who mixed in the underworld, there were some things he could say, but some things he couldn't.

Seeing Ma Wei's troubled expression, Ye Xiao immediately said, "I saw you spiking the ramen with that drug clearly, and if I have Zhu Dong accuse you, he'd certainly be willing to. Do you want to be interrogated by the police, or do you want to tell me?"

Ma Wei looked at Ye Xiao and said, "If I don't tell you, I might be doomed, but if I tell you, I'm definitely doomed; those people will never let me go."

"If you tell, only the heavens, the earth, and we four will know. As long as we don't say anything, who will know you spoke? I just want to know where these things came from," Ye Xiao said.

Zhu Dong, having heard Ye Xiao say before that he was from the government, and now seeing that Ye Xiao seemed to be investigating something, became even more convinced Ye Xiao was from the government. He quickly said to Ma Wei, "Ma Wei, listen to me, tell the truth. If you don't, you're definitely going to have trouble. We're brothers, I won't harm you."

Ma Wei didn't look at Zhu Dong, clearly understanding that Zhu Dong was completely unreliable. He was hesitating about whether to say it or not.

Ye Xiao didn't say anything either but just looked at Ma Wei, waiting.

"If I tell you, will you really not say anything?" Ma Wei looked into Ye Xiao's eyes.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I will say something, but I will never say it was you who told me because I don't even know you, nor have I seen you."
