However, at that moment, Ye Xiao was startled to discover that one of the three bandits actually took out a hand grenade from his pocket.

What the hell!

That's a hand grenade.

Ye Xiao's eyesight was exceptionally good, and this was not an ordinary hand grenade. Not because of its powerful impact, but because it clearly belonged to the Yan Country's military.

Every nation's weapons have their own markings, and so do hand grenades.

If these grenades were just ordinary ones, it wouldn't matter. But if their source is from the military...

Clearly, something was amiss.

Of course, at that moment, Ye Xiao couldn't afford to ponder these useless thoughts; the bandit had already tossed the grenade toward the BMW.

At this point, the windshield of the BMW was shattered. According to the bandit's trajectory, the grenade would naturally end up inside the BMW, blowing it up.

Obviously, Ye Xiao could not tolerate such an outcome, as his two wives were inside the car.

So, at the moment the grenade was thrown, Ye Xiao sprang into action.

Like a rabbit on the move, Ye Xiao was as still as a statue one moment and a blur the next, swiftly arriving in front of the BMW. Two bandits were still firing at the car with submachine guns.

Although martial artists are exceptionally skilled, they are not invulnerable. They are flesh and blood like anyone else. Perhaps one or two bullets wouldn't kill them, but facing submachine gun fire, even Heaven Rank martial artists would struggle to remain unharmed.

Yet, Ye Xiao wasn't about to stand motionless amidst the gunfire. With a spectral-like agility, he darted forward, catching the grenade just as it was about to explode, and almost instantaneously hurled it back.

Ye Xiao was so fast that ordinary people could barely see him move; they merely saw the grenade take flight halfway and then return.

"Not good!" The three bandits saw it, their faces suddenly filled with shock, and they quickly dove for cover.

Just then, a deafening explosion echoed, affecting three or four cars nearby, but fortunately, no vehicles exploded due to the grenade.

Logically, this would be the moment for the police to rush in and apprehend the three bandits. However, surprisingly, the police kept their distance, not even firing a single shot, let alone making an arrest.

Ye Xiao, at this moment, cared little whether others saw him or not. He swiftly approached the bandits, intent on questioning them about who had instructed them. He was convinced there was a mastermind behind this.

The three bandits were evidently well-trained. Despite not being injured by the grenade, they immediately stood up, but Ye Xiao was already close and kicked one of them, instantly causing his bones to crack loudly and killing him with a single kick.

The remaining two bandits were startled upon seeing Ye Xiao and immediately raised their submachine guns, firing directly at him.

Ye Xiao grabbed the corpse of the bandit he had just killed, and the bullets all hit the dead bandit's body.

Seeing the bullets hit their fallen comrade, the two bandits hurriedly halted their shooting, but the dead comrade collapsed, and Ye Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

"Ah? Where is he?"

"Behind you!" This voice was Ye Xiao's.

The two bandits were astonished once more, quickly turning around, but Ye Xiao was already upon them, killing one swiftly and snatching the submachine gun from the other, pressing it against the bandit's head, coldly asking, "Who is your mastermind?"

The last surviving bandit's eyes were filled with shock. He clearly hadn't anticipated that the person they were sent to deal with would be so formidable. After all, they were elite special forces, but no matter how elite, they were still ordinary humans, utterly outmatched by Ye Xiao, rated an Earth Rank martial artist.

The bandit hesitated, but suddenly, there was the ear-piercing sound of a gunshot, and his head exploded.

Ye Xiao instinctively stepped back, turning to see who shot the bandit. It was in the direction of the BMW, but when he looked, he was startled to find a roughly twenty-five-year-old youth holding a Naluobo pistol, aimed at Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing inside the car!

Ye Xiao's expression instantly turned icy, as the armed youth smiled and said to Ye Xiao, "Controlling you is indeed no easy task."

What?

Ye Xiao felt his brow furrow at the words, sensing a conspiracy!

This was all a plot!

It seemed those three bandits were sent to die, merely to distract Ye Xiao, while the true threat lurked near the BMW.

At this moment, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing inside the car were genuinely scared, but fear or not, it's not like they hadn't seen the world, especially Fang Jing, because Ye Xiao had saved her, and even saved her parents.

"You bastard, if you have the guts, just kill me. Threatening Ye Xiao with a gun pointed at us, do you even qualify as a man?" Fang Jing knew that if she and Xia Mingyue fell into this man's hands, Ye Xiao would undoubtedly be at his mercy. She didn't want Ye Xiao to be in danger because of her.

"Little girl, it seems you have feelings for Ye Xiao, huh? But did you know this just made me realize how important the two of you are to him? Haha, I've really bet on the right horse." The young man laughed loudly, then immediately got into the BMW X6, drove away, and shouted, "I'll call you in five minutes."

Although Liuyue was seated in the front and Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were in the back, Liuyue took a grenade out from his clothes and casually placed it on the front passenger seat, indicating that if Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing dared to try anything, he would detonate the grenade.

Ye Xiao stood in place, watching the BMW X6 leave, his face even more grim.

The police, who had been in the distance, immediately ran over upon seeing the BMW X6 leave, and a few officers even pointed their guns directly at Ye Xiao's head.

"We now suspect..." one of the officers glared and said to Ye Xiao.

But Ye Xiao had been thoroughly fed up, and before the officer could finish speaking, he slapped him across the face, yelling, "Damn you, haven't you seen that my people have been taken hostage by criminals? Are you out of your mind? How on earth are you a police officer?"

The slap caught everyone by surprise—a regular citizen dared to slap a police officer, and there were quite a lot of people around.

However, by the time everyone reacted, Ye Xiao was already heading towards the police car.

"Officer Chen!" Ye Xiao walked up to the police car and saw two people inside the alleyway, one of them Chen Jianguo, the other an unfamiliar police officer.

Chen Jianguo was also slightly surprised to see Ye Xiao. He had been hiding here and hadn't been able to see anything. He initially thought Ye Xiao was as good as done for, but surprisingly, Ye Xiao was standing right in front of him, looking at him.

"It's... it's you." Chen Jianguo grinned awkwardly.

Ye Xiao said, "Well done, I can responsibly tell you, you're dead."

Hearing this, Chen Jianguo's face turned dark, while the officer next to him immediately yelled angrily, "Damn it..."

Ye Xiao didn't even look at that officer and quickly stepped into the alley. As he passed by, the police officer who had been yelling angrily at him smashed his head against the wall, instantly covering his head in blood.

Chen Jianguo looked again for Ye Xiao, only to find that Ye Xiao had disappeared into the alley, whereabouts unknown.

Chen Jianguo swallowed hard, his heart pounding. He originally thought those three criminals would be enough to kill Ye Xiao, but unexpectedly, Ye Xiao was fine.

At this point, a couple of the more than ten officers walked over.

"What's going on?" Chen Jianguo immediately glared at those subordinates and asked.

"Captain Chen, those three criminals were all killed by Ye Xiao, but then someone else showed up and drove off with the BMW that Ye Xiao had been driving. It seems there were people inside as well."

"What?" Chen Jianguo's head hurt at once, and he quickly took out his phone to dial a number.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao, having left the alley, stood at the corner of another street. Everything had happened so quickly that likely no one had caught it on camera. But who exactly was Liuyue? He seemed unfamiliar.

Ye Xiao was pondering when the phone rang.

Without even looking, Ye Xiao answered the phone directly.

"Ye Xiao, how are you?" A mocking laugh came through the phone.

Ye Xiao's emotions had calmed, and he said calmly to the person on the phone, "Who are you?"

"Didn't I say? I am Liuyue!" The person on the phone laughed again.

"I don't know you. Who sent you?" Ye Xiao asked.

Liuyue continued to laugh at Ye Xiao's words, "Haha, family doesn't recognize family, huh. Others might not know your identity, but don't I know? You're a kid from the Yan Country's Flame Dragon Team. Ouyang Hua's choice of talent is really something, you actually have quite potential. What a pity, too much potential doesn't last long."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately understood who this Liuyue was.

"You're also from the Flame Dragon Team." Ye Xiao said coldly.

Liuyue chuckled and said, "Seems like you're not lacking in intelligence either."
