"Coco, don't fall for his trick, he's deliberately goading you to talk to him," Xia Mingyue whispered to Jiang Miaoke.

Hearing Xia Mingyue's words, Jiang Miaoke realized she had fallen for Ye Xiao's trick. She quickly snorted at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, you're really no good."

Ye Xiao immediately flashed a proud smile and said, "I was never anything, I'm a person, a real living handsome guy."

"You, a handsome guy?" Jiang Miaoke sounded like she wanted to puke upon hearing this.

Ye Xiao, however, remained nonchalant and said, "That's where you're wrong. A so-called handsome guy can't just be all about external looks, just like why are you and Mingyue called beauties? Is it only because of your good looks? I absolutely don't think so. Consider this, out of a hundred people, there's always one who doesn't judge by appearances, but out of a hundred, a hundred will say you're beauties, especially super beauties."

Jiang Miaoke was intrigued by Ye Xiao's words and curiously asked, "Then tell me, what's the reason?"

Ye Xiao promptly replied, "Haven't you heard that true beauty comes from within? Just having outward beauty isn't true beauty. Only those like you and Mingyue with both inner and outer beauty are truly beautiful. Don't look at me with doubt; think about it, aren't you someone who likes to help old ladies cross the street and can't resist giving a few bucks to a beggar?"

"I never give just a few bucks, it's always one or two hundred each time," Jiang Miaoke corrected Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was immediately surprised and said, "Oh wow, it seems I was wrong. Coco is indeed the embodiment of truth, kindness, and beauty. No wonder everyone regards you as a beauty."

"What do you mean 'regards as', is it not so in the first place?" Jiang Miaoke glared at Ye Xiao.

"Look at my big mouth, of course, it is. Only a beauty of truth, goodness, and beauty like you can match the true-hearted, graceful, and dashing man like me. Dear wife, don't you think what I say makes sense?" Ye Xiao still acted seriously.

Jiang Miaoke was about to say 'yes', but Xia Mingyue suddenly tugged at her sleeve, making her realize. However, if she were to refute Ye Xiao now, it would be like denying his previous words. After all, everyone likes to be praised.

Xia Mingyue seemed to notice that Jiang Miaoke was feeling indecisive, so she immediately turned to Ye Xiao and said, "You seemed like you had something to say earlier."

Ye Xiao, hearing Xia Mingyue's words, remembered and quickly said with a smile to her, "Mingyue, you truly are observant and caring, making subordinates feel..."

"Stop. If you're free, go watch TV over there," said Xia Mingyue, who, since becoming a boss, had often been flattered but rarely encountered such exaggerated flattery from Ye Xiao, making it hard for her to take. If she kept listening, she felt it might go terribly wrong.

"Don't be in a rush; okay, since you're eager to hear, I'll say it." Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Is there a family with the surname An in Bird City?" Ye Xiao inquired.

"Surname An?" Xia Mingyue and Jiang Miaoke exchanged glances and Xia Mingyue said, "I haven't heard of such a thing, probably not."

Ye Xiao said, "Think about it. Perhaps the CEO of a company has the surname An, or maybe it's a small family."

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Miaoke suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Jiang Miaoke.

Jiang Miaoke said, "Surname An, I think I heard my father and grandfather talking about it, oh, but that was many years ago. I was at most ten years old back then. It seemed Bird City did have a family with the surname An. And Bird City wasn't limited to the eight big families; many small families were scattered around. The An family seemed to be a middle-sized family, but I'm not entirely sure. It seemed like when the Fu family rose to power in Bird City, they had friction with many small families. That was also when open and secret battles among families in Bird City were the most intense, and the An family seemed to have slowly disappeared at that time."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao pondered over Jiang Miaoke's words for a while before looking up at her and saying, "Can you be sure?"

"More or less," Jiang Miaoke said, glancing curiously at Ye Xiao, "Why? Is it important?"

"No, I was just asking randomly, thinking there might be a CEO with the surname An," Ye Xiao said, deliberately appearing casual.

Who knew Xia Mingyue would suddenly speak up, "Oh right, I remember now, there really is a CEO with the surname An, and she's a woman. Nowadays, with the thriving logistics industry, Bird City boasts many companies arising with the times, and among them is a company called Hualuo Logistics, seemingly headed by someone with the surname An."

"A logistics company, how do you know them?" Ye Xiao asked quizzically.

"Well, Hualuo Logistics seems to be a joint venture, doing fairly well. However, the whole company keeps a low profile and regularly donates to impoverished children. They're one of the enterprises supported by Bird City. The CEO is a woman with the surname An, not old, probably at most twenty-five or twenty-six now," said Xia Mingyue.

"Do you know what her name is?" Ye Xiao asked immediately upon hearing this.

Xia Mingyue shook her head and said, "That I don't know. It sounds like something with 'Hui' in it. We have no direct interactions with her, so I didn't take the effort to remember. Besides, Hualuo Logistics isn't a big company."

An something Hui, obviously implying a three-character name, and the person who called me earlier was named An Meihui.

Ye Xiao pondered silently, suspecting that this An something Hui might indeed be An Meihui.

Hualuo Logistics Company!

Yan Country Rothschild Logistics Company!

Ye Xiao was even more convinced.

Previously, Ye Xiao found it very strange. Since An Meihui claims to be from the Rothschild family, could it really be that difficult to kill someone like Fu Tianjue? Even without doing it herself, she could put a high bounty on his head, and it wouldn't be a big deal if Fu Tianjue died a hundred times over.

Yet, An Meihui specifically came to him.

Why was that?

Ye Xiao found it strange. However, if one were to say that Ye Xiao didn't want to kill Fu Tianjue, that would be completely impossible. The deaths of Fu Hongyi and Fu Bin were related to Ye Xiao, and at least in Fu Tianjue's eyes, even Fu Hongyi might have been considered killed by Ye Xiao.

With both his son and grandson killed by the same person, although Fu Donglai managed to stop it in some way, who could be sure that Fu Tianjue wouldn't strike back at him?

Since no one could be sure, it was enough to show that Ye Xiao was in great danger.

He could be killed at any moment.

This feeling was completely unpleasant, and there was only one way to get rid of all this, which was to kill Fu Tianjue, because only by killing Fu Tianjue could Ye Xiao truly control the Fu family.

Fu Donglai is a ticking time bomb; although he has already expressed submission, what if he decides to rebel against him someday and joins hands with Fu Tianjue to catch him off guard? That would be too passive.

Ye Xiao never liked doing passive things.

Now, it was evidently an opportunity. If he could ally with An Meihui to kill Fu Tianjue, that would be perfect. But if An Meihui could really mobilize people from the Rothschild family, would she need to ally with him?

Could it be!

A sudden flash of insight crossed Ye Xiao's mind.

A strange smile appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

"Ye Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Miaoke saw Ye Xiao suddenly stop talking, seemingly pondering something, and then he smiled all of a sudden, which made her curious.

Ye Xiao was pulled back to reality by Jiang Miaoke's words, looked at Jiang Miaoke, and said, "Coco, Ming Yue, you are truly my good wives and bosses."

Xia Mingyue and Jiang Miaoke were bewildered by Ye Xiao's sudden laughter and inexplicable words, making them look at each other in confusion.

"This guy must be out of his mind." Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao and said to Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao and said, "If anyone's out of their mind, it's you. He's sharper than a monkey. I just don't know what kind of cunning plan he has this time."

Ye Xiao gulped down his bowl of millet porridge and then said, "I'm going to the bathroom for a moment and make a phone call. If any of you wish to eavesdrop, I don't mind."

After saying this, Ye Xiao directly went to the bathroom.

Xia Mingyue and Jiang Miaoke watched him walk into the bathroom and shut the door, looking puzzled.

"Sister Ming Yue, should we go listen in?" Jiang Miaoke whispered to Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue was very distrustful of Ye Xiao, especially regarding his slick talking.

"Since he's openly telling you to listen, what you hear won't matter anyway. Besides, the bathroom door is made of glass. You can't see inside from the outside, but you can see the shadows of people outside from the inside. So, if you want to go, go yourself. I'm not going." Xia Mingyue said.

"Whoever installed this door is so troublesome." Jiang Miaoke immediately said with some annoyance.

Xia Mingyue immediately looked at Jiang Miaoke and said, "Wasn't it you who told me to install it when I moved in here? You said that way, you could see if anyone's looking at those bathing inside."

"Uh, really? Okay, actually, installing this door was quite right." Jiang Miaoke said and continued eating.

Meanwhile, Xia Mingyue curiously glanced toward the bathroom. Clearly, even though she said that to Jiang Miaoke, she was also curious about what Ye Xiao was up to.

Curiosity is something everyone has.

Switching scenes!

After entering the bathroom, Ye Xiao sat on the toilet seat, of course not for number two, but to pick up his phone and find Jiang Zhongzheng's number.

He was calling Jiang Zhongzheng to ask about the An family's matters.
