Ye Xiao's gaze turned cold, and with a flicker of his mind, he was beside the person, landing a punch that knocked him out instantly.

"Just because of this!" Ye Xiao's voice remained icy, as he turned his back on those underlings, who were so shocked that they couldn't utter a word. This was true strength.

All the underlings left, and Ye Xiao closed the door behind them.

"Ye Xiao, what's wrong?" Jiang Miaoke approached Ye Xiao, looking at him with a bit of surprise. Clearly, in her view, this was not the usual Ye Xiao.

Even if Ye Xiao got into a fight, he would banter a bit, and he definitely wouldn't be this crazy. Could it be that Ye Xiao held a grudge against this man?

This was almost all the girls' thoughts.

"This is someone who used to be my friend, or maybe even a brother." Ye Xiao looked coldly at Niu Chuang lying on the ground.

Hitting your own friend, hitting your own brother.

This was something Ye Xiao never wanted to do, but today, he had to. He had a compelling reason; he didn't want his friend or brother to fall into the dark abyss.

You can mix in the streets, but you can't do things like bullying men and oppressing women. But Niu Chuang wanted to do these things.

"Ah?" The girls were all shocked, looking at the burly young man lying on the ground. He was actually Ye Xiao's friend?

Ye Xiao looked at Niu Chuang, who was slightly convulsing on the ground, sighed slightly, and then walked over to the now slightly unconscious Niu Chuang, who had just been hit by Ye Xiao.

Suddenly, a surge of Nine Yang True Qi emerged from Ye Xiao's hand, spreading quickly across Niu Chuang's body, ensuring he would only suffer superficial wounds, sparing his life.

"Ye Xiao, you were a bit impulsive just now." Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao.

However, Ye Xiao didn't think so; he said, "The truly shameful people are those cowards who bully the weak and oppress the innocent. My brothers or friends absolutely cannot do such things, unless they're not my friends."

"You really are righteous enough." Li Sitong let out a chuckle, then looked at Niu Chuang, saying, "To be honest, this guy is really reminiscent of the local thugs outside."

Ye Xiao hurried to speak up for Niu Chuang, saying, "He wasn't like this before."

"Money, power, desire, greed—these things can corrupt a person. I wonder what has corrupted your friend." Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao and said.

Ye Xiao said, "In a way, it's my fault. I shouldn't have helped him get into society."

"No wonder he's so arrogant; it turns out he's a member of society. If I'm not mistaken, that Wu Shengchang must be Sixth Master Wu from Hong Company, right?" Xia Mingyue chuckled and said.

"That's right!" Ye Xiao replied.

Xia Mingyue said, "It is said that this person is both ruthless and loyal, but it is also because of his loyalty that he is extremely indulgent with his subordinates. Members of Hong Company in Jinling District are all troublemakers."

Ye Xiao sighed and said nothing.

At this moment, Li Sitong looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, did you call those three over because you want to have a meeting with them? Others don't have to necessarily listen to you."

"I will not be lenient with enemies, unless they choose to be my enemies." Once again, a chill appeared in Ye Xiao's eyes.

"You really are tyrannical enough." Li Sitong chuckled and said, "But for some reason, I actually find you quite righteous."

Ye Xiao looked at Niu Chuang on the ground again, then walked over, lifting Niu Chuang onto the sofa. Looking at Niu Chuang, and recalling the things he heard Niu Chuang say outside the door, he found it really hard to imagine that this was his brother Niu Chuang. How did he become like this? Able to bully girls and misuse power, or was it that he had really misjudged?

If Niu Chuang were a thug Ye Xiao didn't know, today, Niu Chuang would definitely be dead. But he was Niu Chuang, Ye Xiao's brother, and Ye Xiao's heart was filled with endless conflict.

Listening to the chattering of those girls, Ye Xiao really didn't have the usual teasing mood.

No one knew how long had passed when Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang. Taking a look, it was Wu Shengchang's number.

Ye Xiao immediately answered.

"Brother Ye, why did you suddenly want to see me? Is there something going on?" Wu Shengchang laughed and spoke to Ye Xiao.

"Brother Six, something did come up. I'm in box 396 of Purple Jasmin KTV. I hope you can come over quickly." Ye Xiao's tone was very flat.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shengchang frowned and said, "Brother Ye, is it something that can't be discussed over the phone? I have a little matter to deal with right now."

"Even if you're busy with a girl, I'd still like you to come over." Ye Xiao's tone remained very calm, but his words surprised everyone.

Even Wu Shengchang frowned upon hearing it.

"Brother Ye, what exactly do you mean?" Wu Shengchang said.

Ye Xiao said, "If you are unsure of my intentions in asking you to come, you can bring all your men. But if you still consider me a brother, you should come over."

Wu Shengchang hesitated immediately.

Ye Xiao then said, "I'll be here waiting, Brother Six, I'm hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Shengchang felt puzzled. He didn't know what had happened, but the habits formed from years of mixing in the gang made him hesitate a bit. However, given what Ye Xiao had said, it wouldn't be appropriate not to go.

But Ye Xiao, after hanging up the phone, showed no reaction at all. He put the phone away and continued sitting on the sofa.

After some time, instead of the phone ringing, it was the door that made a sound.

"Come in!" Ye Xiao said.

The door opened, and Yan Luo hurried in. Seeing Ye Xiao, then the six women in the room, and Niu Chuang lying on the sofa, he was immediately taken aback. He quickly looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, what's going on?"

Ye Xiao asked, "Do you recognize this person?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yan Luo was even more confused. Looking at Niu Chuang, he said, "Isn't that Niu Chuang? Brother Xiao, what's happened? Who hit Niu Chuang?"

"I did," Ye Xiao said.

Yan Luo was shocked and said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, what happened?"

Ye Xiao replied, "We'll talk when they get here."

"They? Who else?" Yan Luo asked.

"Wu Shengchang and Ma Chao!" Ye Xiao responded.

"Oh?" Yan Luo was a little puzzled but didn't say anything.

Ye Xiao then looked at Li Siqi and Xia Mingyue and said, "Qiqi, Ming Yue, why don't you go open another room to have fun? There's going to be something going on here later."

Ye Xiao spoke calmly, yet the group of beauties surprisingly didn't argue but nodded and left together.

Yan Luo stood by Ye Xiao's side, and Ye Xiao didn't say anything more.

After about ten more minutes, Ma Chao finally arrived. Entering the room, he saw Yan Luo was there, then glanced at Niu Chuang, and finally looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Mr. Ye, what's the matter you asked me here for?"

"One more person hasn't arrived yet," Ye Xiao said calmly.

Ma Chao looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You mean Sixth Master?"

"Yes!"

Ma Chao said, "Mr. Ye, if there's anything, I can convey it to Sixth Master."

"Just wait standing there," Ye Xiao said.

Ma Chao was taken aback and then looked at Yan Luo.

Yan Luo also looked completely baffled at this time.

Ma Chao didn't sit down either, because his intuition told him that something might happen today, but he couldn't tell whether it was a crisis or something routine.

Time ticked away second by second, and Ma Chao and Yan Luo occasionally exchanged glances but didn't speak. They were also waiting for Wu Shengchang to arrive.

In less than ten minutes, a few male voices could be heard from outside: "Make way, make way!"

Before long, more than ten people arrived, with Wu Shengchang standing in the middle.

"Sixth Master (Mr. Wu)!" Ma Chao and Yan Luo immediately stepped forward to greet Wu Shengchang.

Ye Xiao also stood up, looked calmly at Wu Shengchang, and said, "Brother Six, you're here. Have a seat."

Wu Shengchang looked at Yan Luo and Ma Chao, then at Ye Xiao, and laughed, saying, "Brother Ye, dragging me out at this time, what's this about?"

"Brother Six really considers me a brother." Ye Xiao said lightly and then sat back down.

Wu Shengchang was slightly confused, but then he saw Niu Chuang lying on the sofa. He wasn't sure if Niu Chuang was asleep or unconscious.

"Ah?" Wu Shengchang moved forward two steps in surprise upon seeing Niu Chuang on the sofa and said, "What happened to Niu Chuang? Who hit him?"

"I did," Ye Xiao said flatly.

"Ah?" This time it wasn't just Wu Shengchang who was surprised. Ma Chao and Yan Luo were also very startled. Niu Chuang's face was covered with bruises, and whoever hit him had obviously been heavy-handed. For Ye Xiao to say he did it was truly incredible.

"Brother Ye, you're joking, right?" Wu Shengchang sat beside them, looked at Ye Xiao, and said, "You're brothers. Why would you hit Niu Chuang?"

"Because he's a brother, that's why I hit him. If he weren't, he'd be dead by now," Ye Xiao's voice remained calm.

Wu Shengchang glanced at Ma Chao and Yan Luo, and the two of them looked at each other, even more perplexed. Ma Chao then looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Mr. Ye, could it be that Niu Chuang did something to offend you?"

Ye Xiao didn't answer Ma Chao. Instead, he looked at Wu Shengchang and said, "Brother Six, I know you have many subordinates, but is everything for everyone to hear?"

"They're my bodyguards, my confidants." Wu Shengchang laughed heartily.
