Li Boliang was momentarily stunned upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.

Jiang Zhongzheng quickly laughed, saying, "Brother Li, these kids are just having a little banter. As elders, we shouldn't get involved."

At that moment, Jiang Miaoke, who was beside Ye Xiao, tugged at Ye Xiao's shirt, prompting Ye Xiao to look at her with confusion.

Jiang Miaoke whispered directly to Ye Xiao, "You're really shameless!"

"..."

Right then, Li Boliang laughed and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, if there's a chance in the future, you must come to my humble abode to visit. I've got some aged brews we can enjoy together."

Jiang Zhongzheng, hearing Li Boliang's words, laughed heartily and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, you're in luck. The aged brews of the Li family aren't something just anyone can taste."

Ye Xiao immediately looked at Li Boliang, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Li. I'll definitely visit when I have the time."

Li Boliang laughed heartily and said, "There's plenty to go around."

Ye Xiao and Li Boliang chatted and joked, but Li Siqi had a displeased look on her face, seemingly holding a grudge against Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao occasionally glanced at Li Siqi and the Li Sitong beside her, secretly thinking that he had already suspected that Li Siqi and Li Sitong might be related. After all, otherwise how could their names be so similar? Now, he could confirm it.

"Brother Li, you stay here for now. Ye Xiao and I will head over to the Qi family," Jiang Zhongzheng said with a smile to Li Boliang.

Li Boliang immediately said, "Alright, Ye Xiao, we're settled then. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Uncle Li, I will definitely come," Ye Xiao said.

Leaving the Li family's place, Jiang Zhongzheng smiled and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, do you know Li Boliang's only daughter, Li Siqi?"

"Of course he knows. Last time we went to Liangju Bay, almost dragging Qiqi into trouble," Jiang Miaoke said mercilessly.

Ye Xiao immediately grimaced, saying, "It's like sharing joys and sorrows, through thick and thin."

"Can you stop making it sound so nice?" Jiang Miaoke pouted.

Jiang Chuan laughed and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, I notice you aren't popular with girls. Why does every girl seem to have a big grudge against you?"

Ye Xiao shrugged helplessly and said, "Can't help it. Maybe I'm just too cute and they get jealous."

"..."

The people from the Jiang family fell silent. How could anyone be so full of themselves?

Soon, they arrived at the Qi family's place.

"Mr. Qi." Jiang Zhongzheng greeted the dignified old man from the Qi family with a smile.

Qi Baoguo nodded slightly and then looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Rumor has it that Ye Xiao is quite close with your Jiang family. It seems that's true."

Jiang Zhongzheng said, "Ye Xiao is my distant nephew, so naturally he is close to my family. Ye Xiao has been in Bird City for quite a while, yet hasn't visited Qi Mansion. That's the fault of both Ye Xiao and me."

Qi Baoguo said, "No worries, we'll meet eventually. I heard from Qi Xin that Ye Xiao has quite good skills. It seems that's not false."

"The junior has some superficial skills, hoping Mr. Qi will look after me," Ye Xiao said respectfully with his hands clasped.

"No problem," Qi Baoguo replied with a serious expression.

Just then, Fu Donglai and Zhang Quan walked over.

"Mr. Qi, I hope you won't mind our hospitality lacking today," Fu Donglai said with a smile.

Qi Baoguo looked at Fu Donglai, his expression growing even more serious, saying, "I won't nitpick about that, but your behavior today leaves me speechless."

Fu Donglai slightly froze upon hearing Qi Baoguo's words.

"This might be fate," Qi Baoguo said mysteriously.

Fu Donglai looked at Qi Baoguo, then at Ye Xiao and Jiang Zhongzheng.

Qi Baoguo is a more old-fashioned person, and naturally had his own understanding of what Fu Donglai just said, giving him a new impression of him.

Jiang Zhongzheng, Ye Xiao, and Fu Donglai went around meeting several important family members and conversed.

Most people were very respectful to Ye Xiao, praising him highly, but this did not bring Ye Xiao any joy. The reason was simple; he knew it was all because of Jiang Zhongzheng and Fu Donglai, because the main figures of the Jiang and Fu families were present, they showed respect.

When they arrived, there were many people. When they left, there were still many people.

"Mr. Ye, are you leaving soon too?" Fu Donglai asked, seeing that most people had left, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled, saying, "Why would I stay? Besides, I have things to do."

"Alright then, in the future the Fu family will still need Mr. Ye..."

Before Fu Donglai could finish, Ye Xiao smiled and patted Fu Donglai's shoulder, saying, "No need to say it, as long as we understand each other, alright, I'm off."

With that, Ye Xiao headed straight out.

Fu Donglai watched Ye Xiao leave, sighed, and then went with Zhang Quan to attend to other matters.

At this moment, in a corner of the Fu Mansion.

"Wen Zhuo, what are you still doing here? Why aren't you leaving?" Liu Shixun, preparing to leave with his two sons, saw Liu Wenzhuo lingering and frowned as he spoke.

Liu Wenzhuo hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I'm going right away."

Liu Shixun snorted, then immediately followed Liu Shixun and the others to the car.

Although Liu Wenzhuo's status in the Liu family was nominal and ineffectual, he still traveled independently in a Mercedes S600, so there was some show of prestige.

"Why aren't we leaving?" After getting in the car, Liu Wenzhuo saw that the driver hadn't started the engine immediately, and he asked in confusion.

"Mr. Liu, the car has a minor issue, we should wait a bit." The driver was busily fumbling around the car.

By this time, members of each family had already started leaving one after another, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a few cars left.

Liu Wenzhuo watched the number of cars dwindle, his fear growing, he glanced at the driver and immediately said, "I'm going out for some fresh air."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Liu, the car is ready, we can leave now."

"I said I want to go out for some fresh air." Liu Wenzhuo glared at the driver.

The driver said, "But the old master instructed that Mr. Liu is of high status, and should not leave the car without permission."

"What do you mean by that? Are you using the old master's authority to press me?" Liu Wenzhuo snorted coldly.

"I don't dare, I'm just following the old master's instructions," the driver replied.

Liu Wenzhuo's face turned white with anger, but he didn't dare say a word in defiance. After all, even though he had received intel that today Liu Shixun and his son might act against him, if he were to take independent action before they made a move, would Liu Shixun not act against him but instead use this as a pretext?

Liu Wenzhuo had no choice but to sit in the car and keep silent.

Subsequently, the Mercedes S600 slowly started moving.

The driver drove neither fast nor slow, leisurely leaving Fu Mansion.

Because Liu Wenzhuo was preoccupied with anxiety, he kept looking around from time to time along the way.

However, after driving for seven or eight minutes, nothing happened, which Liu Wenzhuo found particularly strange. But since nothing happened, it was naturally the best situation; life was most important.

But just at this moment, he suddenly saw a car stopped crosswise on the road not far away.

The Mercedes S600 also stopped immediately.

Liu Wenzhuo asked, "What's going on?"

"Mr. Liu, it seems a car in front might be broken down, it would be better for us to check it out."

"What does it have to do with us?" Liu Wenzhuo was instantly enraged by the driver's words. Whether others parked on the road had nothing to do with him, why should he have to check?

"Yes!" The driver was quite obedient.

However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the driver suddenly collided with the rear of the small truck parked crosswise, making a loud bang.

Liu Wenzhuo initially thought the driver would drive away without incident, but who would have thought he would crash into that truck?

At this time, before Liu Wenzhuo had a chance to speak, he saw four or five people approaching from the side of the truck.

A truck with four or five people? This was plainly premeditated.

"Can't you drive, you idiot? Get out now." A big man walked over and kicked the car door directly.

The driver was honest and quickly opened the car door, saying to the big man, "Brother, I didn't mean it."

"Didn't mean it? Haha, at least you'll have to pay up, right?" The big man replied.

"Pay...how much?" The driver asked, trembling.

"We don't want much, 500,000, in cash," the big man said.

"What?" The driver immediately pointed at Liu Wenzhuo inside the car and said, "I don't have money, our boss has money, ask him for it."

Damn, what kind of driver is this!

Upon hearing the driver's words, Liu Wenzhuo was enraged and glared, "Who are you people? Trying to extort in broad daylight?"

"Hehe, we are extorting, it's just whether you are willing to be extorted," the big man chuckled and continued, "It's just whether you are willing to pay, I said cash, and you need to give it to me within five minutes, otherwise you'll have to come with me."

"Who the hell are you? You can't be here just for this amount of money," Liu Wenzhuo said coldly.

"Smart, too bad you have less than five minutes," the big man laughed.

"Do you know who I am?" Liu Wenzhuo said, "I can give you a million."

"Oh, money makes you great? Brothers, drag him out, we don't want the money anymore, we want him," the big man said while stepping back two steps and pointed at Liu Wenzhuo.

At this moment, Liu Wenzhuo had already confirmed that these people were definitely here to cause trouble for him. So, he immediately opened the car door and, with a 'whoosh', dashed out.

Liu Wenzhuo was also a Martial Artist, his intention was simple, it's do or die, at least put up a fight.

Even though Liu Wenzhuo had shaken off Ye Xiao, where was Ye Xiao now? Liu Wenzhuo himself didn't know, as they say, better to rely on oneself than others.

Liu Wenzhuo jumped out of the car, intending to make a quick attack and then escape.

However, things didn't go as expected. Before Liu Wenzhuo could make a move, one of the men quickly kicked him to the ground, and then several men pounced on him. In the blink of an eye, Liu Wenzhuo was defeated.
