Ma Wei felt a bit relieved listening to Ye Xiao and looked at him, saying, "Alright, I'll tell you, but even if you know, I'm afraid you won't dare to do anything?"

Ye Xiao said, "Who in this Jinling District has such power? Could it be the Hong Company?"

Ma Wei immediately shook his head and said, "Not the Hong Company, it's the Tulong Company."

"I've heard of it, but does Tulong Company really have such capability?" Ye Xiao looked at Ma Wei and said, "As far as I know, Tulong Company is just a small company."

"Tulong Company is indeed a small company, but in Jinling District, would even Sixth Master Wu from Hong Company dare to mess with Tulong Company?" Ma Wei said.

Hearing Ma Wei's words, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Alright, I understand."

Then, Ye Xiao looked at Zheng Lingshan and said, "Shanshan, let's go. If we're late, your dad might have already eaten."

Zheng Lingshan nodded at Ye Xiao's words and followed him downstairs, leaving the sales office of Dynasty Real Estate.

Watching Ye Xiao and Zheng Lingshan leave, Ma Wei immediately looked at Zhu Dong, gave him a curious look, and said, "Brother Zhu, what's going on? Why are you...?"

Zhu Dong looked at Ma Wei, sighed, and said, "I slipped up, alas."

"When did this person show up?" Ma Wei asked again.

Zhu Dong said, "How would I know? Weren't you outside and didn't see him?"

"I just went to the restroom."

"Goodness, alright, from now on, don't provoke Zheng Lingshan, be nice to her, and try to meet any of her demands as best as you can," Zhu Dong said.

Ma Wei was shocked at Zhu Dong's words and immediately looked at Zhu Dong and said, "Brother Zhu, did you succeed?"

"Succeed, my ass, I didn't even get a kiss. That girl is too smart, and that guy, damn it, hit way too hard." Remembering this, Zhu Dong could feel his face hurting again.

Ma Wei immediately asked Zhu Dong, "Brother Zhu, did that guy hit your face?"

"Come on, you're making it so obvious, afraid others can't see?" Zhu Dong scolded angrily at Ma Wei.

Ma Wei just chuckled and said, "No way, no way, Brother Zhu, should I get someone to give him a proper thrashing? He dared to hit Brother Zhu."

"Don't you dare, pretend today's incident never happened; we can't afford to mess with this guy," Zhu Dong sighed.

Seeing Zhu Dong's worried face, Ma Wei was puzzled and a bit disdainful, obviously unable to see what was so special about Ye Xiao.

Of course, Ma Wei mainly didn't know about the recording incident.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao and Zheng Lingshan left the sales office and directly headed over to where the e-bike was parked.

"Hop on." Zheng Lingshan said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at the not-so-big e-bike and then at Zheng Lingshan, who was already ready to take someone along, and immediately shook his head, saying, "I'll take you."

"Macho again." Zheng Lingshan chuckled, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "It's not about being macho or not, it's a matter of principle. If you're a girl with me, it's only natural that I should be the one taking the burden."

Zheng Lingshan smiled slightly at Ye Xiao's words and then said, "Thanks for today."

"What's there to thank for? Give me a hot kiss, and I'll be quite satisfied," Ye Xiao said with a cheeky grin.

"Can you be serious for a moment?" Zheng Lingshan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I'm always serious, I'm really sincere."

"I'm hungry!" Zheng Lingshan thought it best to change the subject now. Ye Xiao could say anything without caring if it made others blush.

Ye Xiao said, "Hungry? That's easy to solve. How about we find a restaurant, order some big-plate chicken to-go, and eat at your place."

"Why do we have to go to my place?" Zheng Lingshan said.

Ye Xiao immediately said with a serious face, "Do you really want to let my future father-in-law eat leftovers at home?"

Seeing Ye Xiao's serious face, Zheng Lingshan was a bit moved but quickly realized something was off.

"Who's your father-in-law, Ye Xiao? Watch your words," Zheng Lingshan scolded immediately, "If my dad heard that, he'd wonder what's going on."

"Oh please, your dad's been around, doesn't he know better? Besides, I'll explain it well to him. You know, between men, with a little meat and a bit of alcohol, things are more easily talked out. Who knows, he might even be so pleased that he'll accept me as a son-in-law without any bride price," Ye Xiao laughed impishly.

"Shameless you are, can we just go already?" Zheng Lingshan felt that if they continued talking, they'd attract an audience, and she didn't want to be on display here.

Ye Xiao chuckled, then rode the e-bike with Zheng Lingshan, heading towards her home.

Initially, Ye Xiao planned to get some big-plate chicken so everyone could have a nice meal together.

However, along the way, there wasn't any big-plate chicken restaurant, so about 500 meters from Zheng Lingshan's house, Ye Xiao was drawn to a roast duck shop called 'Yan City Roast Duck.'

"Let's go with this one." Ye Xiao stopped the bike, handed it to Zheng Lingshan to hold, and walked straight into the roast duck shop.

Watching Ye Xiao heading to the roast duck shop, Zheng Lingshan smiled wryly, wondering what to say about this guy. He always seemed to appear when she was in trouble.

It wasn't long before Ye Xiao came back, carrying two aromatic roast ducks.

"What's going on? Why did you buy two?" Zheng Lingshan looked at Ye Xiao curiously.

Ye Xiao said, "Don't worry about it. Eat one and save the other. What if you're not home sometime, and my father-in-law goes hungry?"

As soon as Ye Xiao finished saying this, it immediately drew side glances from people around, especially some old men, who seemed to be admiring whoever had such a good son-in-law.

"Stop, I'll say it again, we are not involved, at most we're just friends," Zheng Lingshan said. "So my dad isn't your father-in-law."

"Come on, can't I just say it casually? Why so serious?" Ye Xiao rolled his eyes at Zheng Lingshan.

Zheng Lingshan was instantly speechless; is this a title you can throw around casually?

However, Zheng Lingshan didn't know that, for Ye Xiao, this title really was just casually used.

Subsequently, Ye Xiao and Zheng Lingshan continued towards her home. When they reached a supermarket, Ye Xiao went in and bought two bottles of Yunhe Tianzhilan.

"Why are you buying alcohol?" Zheng Lingshan glared at Ye Xiao.

At this moment, there were quite a few people at the supermarket entrance.

Ye Xiao, acting as if no one was around, said, "Didn't I tell you? First time eating with my father-in-law, gotta drink a bit, right? Besides, father-in-law likes this stuff."

After Ye Xiao said this, it immediately drew a lot of side glances, many of which were directed at Zheng Lingshan.

"Oh dear, Shanshan, is this your boyfriend? So thoughtful, knows your dad likes to drink, and even bought such expensive liquor." An old lady chuckled.

Then several old men and women chimed in agreement.

All of a sudden, Zheng Lingshan's face turned as red as a ripe apple.

"Uncles and aunties, please stop, Shanshan is shy. We'll be off now." Ye Xiao chuckled and quickly left with Zheng Lingshan.

Once they left, there was immediate chatter.

Zheng Lingshan was truly regretting it now; she really shouldn't have brought Ye Xiao back. This guy was spreading news all along the way; was he trying to let everyone on Blue Star know that he had self-proclaimed a special identity?

"Ye Xiao, can you stop babbling? People are getting the wrong idea," Zheng Lingshan said with a pained expression.

Ye Xiao smiled triumphantly and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm not scared."

"Nonsense, I'm a girl," Zheng Lingshan glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "A girl? You look more like a tigress right now."

A tigress?

Upon hearing Ye Xiao call her that, Zheng Lingshan's face immediately turned hot with anger, and she huffed, "Humph, you're the tigress."

"How could that be? If I were, I'd be a male tiger," Ye Xiao chuckled.

As they conversed, Ye Xiao and Zheng Lingshan reached an alley, where Zheng Lingshan's home was located, and proceeded inside. But as they did, Ye Xiao suddenly paused.

A police officer walked out of the alley. Of course, a police officer wouldn't usually catch Ye Xiao's attention since there were plenty on the streets.

However, this police officer did catch Ye Xiao's attention, not because she was a woman, but because Ye Xiao knew her.

"Cousin!" A voice called out from beside Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Zheng Lingshan curiously.

The voice that yelled 'cousin' was indeed from Zheng Lingshan.

Ye Xiao once again looked at the police officer in surprise.

Zheng Lingshan walked over to the female officer and smiled, "Cousin, what brings you here?"

"Of course, I came to check if Uncle has eaten yet," the female officer said, glancing at Ye Xiao.

Zheng Lingshan saw her cousin looking at Ye Xiao and quickly said, "Cousin, this is..."

"Ye Xiao!"

Hearing the female officer's words, Ye Xiao smiled softly and said, "Officer Feng, hello."

This female officer was none other than Feng Jiao.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao and Feng Jiao's conversation, Zheng Lingshan looked at them in surprise and said, "You know each other?"

"Of course, I'm bound to know any beauties," Ye Xiao replied with a smug smile.

Feng Jiao said, "Yes, and I inevitably know those who are often associated with the police."

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Officer Feng has taken quite good care of me. By the way, Officer Feng, are you busy today?"

"Busy or not, it doesn't matter. I have something I'd like to ask you," Feng Jiao looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "What's up? Ask away, I'll tell you all I know."

"What exactly did you say to Gao Bo? He seems like he's gone mad since his one-on-one with you?" Feng Jiao looked at Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing Feng Jiao's words, Ye Xiao burst into laughter and said, "Really? Looks like that guy is pretty obedient."
