Ye Xiao didn't stay at the Flying Dragon Nightclub for too long before leaving.
After leaving the Flying Dragon Nightclub, Ye Xiao did not immediately return to Dongning Building. Although Ye Xiao is now the vice president of Blue Star Technology Company, in reality, he is a vice president with authority and fame but without a chief battlefield, because he doesn't have an office. However, this does give Ye Xiao the opportunity to roam around freely outside.
With nothing much to do, he thought of Zheng Lingshan, but if he went to find Zheng Lingshan at this time, she would definitely be at work. Making others feel like she is irresponsible because he wants to see her is obviously not good. So, after thinking it over, he ended up going near the border between Jinling District and Lotus District.
Of course, Ye Xiao couldn't go to such places without a purpose.
The events of today made him take things seriously. Firstly, someone was quite knowledgeable about his whereabouts, which led to the incident with Liuyue. This matter is definitely related to Chen Jianguo. But how could a small fry like Chen Jianguo be connected with Liuyue? So, there is only one possibility, and that is the Chen family behind Chen Haiqing.
Ye Xiao doesn't know much about the Chen family, just knows they are near Jinling District and Lotus District, but he isn't clear about their exact location. However, since the other party has already made a move against him, even though he hasn't suffered any losses, his newlywed wife was frightened. Instead of passively waiting, it's better to take initiative, as he has already asked Zhang Yunhu to investigate Chen Jianguo and Zhang Youchen. However, since he's free now, it's a good opportunity to check out the Chen family's location and at least get some idea of their exact whereabouts.
Sitting in the taxi, the driver chatted on and off with Ye Xiao. Just then, a news broadcast played on the car radio, mentioning a BMW car caught fire in the suburb of Jinling District but the owner couldn't be found.
"There sure are a lot of fresh happenings in Jinling District today. In the morning, there was a gunfight on Xin Hai Road, where those robbers dared to shoot and confront the Guard Bureau police. It's downright lawless. Before this day ends, there's another incident of a BMW catching fire in the suburb. Our Jinling District is indeed bustling!" The taxi driver said to Ye Xiao with a chuckle.
A cops and robbers gunfight?
Ye Xiao smiled wryly. Those unaware of the truth naturally wouldn't think about the real target of those robbers, nor would anyone know what the so-called people's servants truly did this morning.
A normal car catching fire spontaneously has a low probability, especially since it's already mid-November in the lunar calendar. The weather should be somewhat chilly; sometimes people even need to wear down jackets for warmth. A BMW car self-igniting? This might only fool ordinary folks.
"Indeed, it's hard to tell if the police are too incompetent or the robbers are too fierce," Ye Xiao said with a smile.
"That's true; some police officers indeed are somewhat unreasonable. However, the overall public security in Bird City has improved greatly over the past few years. Such incidents were quite common in previous years." The taxi driver replied with a laugh.
Ye Xiao smiled and chatted with the taxi driver.
"Here's the junction between Jinling District and Lotus District. You see, this is the intersection. Crossing the intersection to the north leads to Lotus District, and this road going south is Jinling District. Young man, where do you want to go now?" The taxi driver asked Ye Xiao with a smile.
"My friend's home is right at this intersection, so I'll get off here," Ye Xiao replied with a smile.
Afterward, Ye Xiao paid for the fare.
Watching the taxi head towards the bustling area of Jinling District again, Ye Xiao looked around. Despite being an intersection, there weren't many cabs passing through. Most vehicles simply sped by, and few stayed. Surrounding buildings were mostly closed.
Ye Xiao stood at the intersection, watching. Suddenly, he noticed a road leading westward was relatively narrow, unlike the other three directions with green belts along the road. The westward road had many trees planted along both sides. More surprisingly, it was flanked by two patches of woods, densely planted, and the road not far ahead took a turn and disappeared out of sight. Standing at the intersection looking west, one would really be clueless as to what lies ahead.
Ye Xiao pondered slightly and couldn't help but laugh.
If he guessed correctly, this westbound road must lead to the Chen family he's looking for.
As a prominent family, although there are shopfronts nearby, few are open for business; even those open are typically car washes. With few vehicles passing by, even car wash businesses don't see many customers.
Moreover, although they appear to be washing cars, most people are standing at the door, constantly looking around.
Could these people be under the Chen family's command, acting as lookouts?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao didn't dare linger long and promptly walked back towards Jinling District. After about a hundred meters, shopfronts started offering some normal businesses, as expected.
As a Martial Artist, and one who has traversed Lijiazhou Continent with the rank of a soldier king level, Ye Xiao's skills were extremely sharp. He managed to dodge behind a house without a single person noticing, circled around it before entering the forest.
The forest was vast, and when Ye Xiao looked out, he could barely see the end of it. Obviously, the Chen family resided inside, using the forest as a camouflage. After all, having a large estate known to others might not be a good thing. It's important to consider that with today's advanced network communications, secrecy is vital.
Therefore, when Ye Xiao entered the forest, he was extremely cautious. Given the large expanse of woods, it would be strange if there were no guards. Such Martial Arts Families were notably cautious and proud.
Due to the season, the ground was covered in a layer of fallen leaves. Yet as Ye Xiao walked, he made no sound at all, moving silently. Throughout his path, Ye Xiao discovered numerous devices similar to animal traps, clearly prepared for intruders. Who was Ye Xiao? Only he sets traps for others; who could trap him?
About five minutes later, Ye Xiao felt that he had walked quite a distance. Although his walking speed wasn't fast, it wasn't exactly slow either, so he exercised even more care.
As he continued forward, suddenly he heard a very faint sound of crying from not far away.
"Hmm?" Ye Xiao found it strange; the forest was so quiet, why would there be crying? Could he have encountered something unclean in broad daylight?
Ye Xiao immediately shook his head. He was an atheist.
He continued to walk cautiously, but after covering a short distance, he suddenly saw under a tree ahead, a person dressed in white, squatting there and crying.
From the back, it appeared to be a girl.
Ye Xiao was pondering whether to go forward and see what was going on, but on second thought, since he was near the Chen family, this forest wasn't ordinary. How could an ordinary girl be here? Ye Xiao carefully stood behind a tree.
The girl cried for a while, then attempted to stand up by supporting herself on the tree. However, for some unknown reason, she collapsed back onto the ground.
Ye Xiao's sharp eyes caught on quickly. It turned out the girl's ankle was sprained, leaving her unable to stand.
Although he hadn't seen what the girl looked like, out of care for a girl in distress, Ye Xiao decided to step out.
"Are you okay?" Ye Xiao approached and gently asked.
Chen Yiyi was feeling helpless; there weren't any people around, and she had run out in anger, but unexpectedly sprained her ankle. Upon suddenly hearing someone speaking behind her, she was startled, quickly and somewhat surprised, looking at Ye Xiao. Seeing a young man about her age, her gaze immediately became wary.
Few could know this place better than Chen Yiyi, and seeing Ye Xiao here, she naturally became suspicious of his intentions.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" Chen Yiyi didn't attend to her foot injury but immediately questioned Ye Xiao.
Upon seeing the girl before him, Ye Xiao's heart raced. Her bright eyes and white teeth, the delicate face was so exquisite it was staggering, her skin seemed flawless, presenting a boundless perfection. Ye Xiao was completely stunned.
Ye Xiao had seen many beauties, and yet, faced with such a super beauty, he found it hard to mask his inner admiration.
Chen Yiyi noticed Ye Xiao staring at her in a daze. Her face flushed slightly, and she glared at him, "Who are you? How dare you appear here? Do you believe I can have someone capture you right away?"
Chen Yiyi's words pulled Ye Xiao back to reality. He had been standing, but now he squatted down, smiling as he looked at Chen Yiyi, his gaze landed on Chen Yiyi's voluptuous figure, just as impressive as Xia Mingyue, Fang Jing, and Jiang Miaoke. Men, naturally, adore certain features.
"What... what are you staring at? I will really call someone," Chen Yiyi, seeing where Ye Xiao's gaze lay, became even angrier. Who dared to blatantly ogle her lofty self in broad daylight? It was truly unforgivable.
Yet, Chen Yiyi's anger was met with Ye Xiao's mischievous smile and his smug words.
"If you could really call someone, you wouldn't have been sitting here crying." Ye Xiao's bright and clear eyes seemed to see right through people's thoughts.
