Martial Arts Master in the City

Ye Xiao walked out of Cell Number One, which greatly surprised the police officers guarding the cells. Since Cell Number One had been established, no one had come out completely unharmed and still managed to remain composed!

"Ye Xiao, are you alright?" Weei Jie looked at Ye Xiao with concern and asked.

Ye Xiao said, "I'm fine. The guys inside took good care of me, didn't they, Captain Yang!"

Yang Ming looked at Ye Xiao. He really wanted to hit him, but against someone who even Han Zhimin couldn't handle, Yang Ming feared he could not afford to offend him. So, he immediately chuckled and said, "Brother Ye, what are you talking about? The Guard Bureau is a reasonable place, after all!"

"Indeed, they listen to reason!" Ye Xiao said. "I met a guy named Zhao Dapeng inside, and I hope Captain Yang can show some mercy and let him go!"

Upon hearing the name 'Zhao Dapeng', Yang Ming couldn't help but curse Ye Xiao in his mind for being a busybody!

"Brother Ye, suspect Zhao Dapeng is accused of intentional injury. How could I just casually let him go? The Guard Bureau is here to reform those who have committed crimes. Once Zhao Dapeng realizes his mistakes, the Guard Bureau naturally won't hold him anymore!" Yang Ming said.

Yang Ming's words were noble-sounding. Originally, he thought Ye Xiao would press him further, but Ye Xiao turned directly to Weei Jie and said, "Uncle Weei, Zhao Dapeng is my friend. I hope Uncle Weei can ask Mr. Ling for help!"

Weei Jie said, "Don't worry, I will definitely convey your message to Mr. Ling. Unless it's an unredeemable murderer, there's no one that Mr. Ling can't get out!"

Weei Jie's words seemed to be for Ye Xiao, but they were actually meant for Yang Ming!

Weei Jie's words were clear: Ye Xiao was with Hengyu Group, and if Yang Ming wouldn't give face to Ye Xiao, it would be the same as not giving face to Hengyu Group!

Yang Ming's face changed somewhat, yet if he were dealing with Hengyu Group, he truly was helpless.

As they reached the entrance of the Guard Bureau, Song Jiamin also escorted Ye Xiao to the gate.

"Officer Song, sorry for the trouble today. My apologies!" Ye Xiao said with a smile to Song Jiamin.

Song Jiamin didn't hold any anger against Ye Xiao, but after hesitating a bit, she still looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Do you know Song Jiaqian?"

"Song Jiaqian?" Ye Xiao thought for a moment then said, "Doesn't sound familiar. Why? Is she beautiful?"

Song Jiamin immediately felt defeated by his casual response.

Song Jiamin turned and went back inside the station.

Watching Song Jiamin turn around and leave so abruptly, Ye Xiao was extremely puzzled. He truly didn't know any Song Jiaqian. Who on earth was she, and what was her relation to Officer Song? Both shared the surname Song.

Earlier, at the bus station, although Ye Xiao had told Song Jiaqian his name, he had drifted away before she could reveal her name, so Ye Xiao absolutely had no idea who Song Jiaqian might be!

"It's really amazing that there are people in this world who look so alike!" Ye Xiao murmured to himself.

"Let's go!" Weei Jie said to Ye Xiao, honking the horn.

Ye Xiao immediately got into the car.

Weei Jie smiled at Ye Xiao and said, "Only a few meetings and you're already so reluctant to part? Remember, she is a police officer!"

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Uncle Weei, it's not that I'm reluctant to leave. It's just that Officer Song looks a lot like someone I've met before!"

Of course, Weei Jie didn't believe Ye Xiao's words and just smiled silently.

Seeing that his explanation was useless, Ye Xiao simply stopped trying to explain.

...

From the time Ye Xiao entered the station to when he came out, it seemed like a short time, but actually an entire afternoon had passed, it was already five o'clock, and it wouldn't be long before school ended!

"Since the young lady will be out of school soon, let's just wait here," Weei Jie said, parking the car about a thousand meters away from the entrance to Minghai Academy.

"Why did you park the car so far away?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled.

Weei Jie said, "The young lady doesn't want to be too high-profile."

Just then, an idea struck Ye Xiao, and he said to Weei Jie, "Uncle Weei, I need to go back to school!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Weei Jie asked.

Ye Xiao casually said, "The teachers in class must be worried about me. I'm going to let them know I'm safe."

Weei Jie couldn't help but laugh and nodded.

Of course, Ye Xiao wasn't just going back to reassure Teacher Su; he wanted to see if Han Fei had returned and caused trouble for Zhan Bo!

Ye Xiao rarely made promises that he couldn't keep, much like that time he had said he would take the head of a powerful figure. Despite the target's meticulous defenses, Ye Xiao had whisked his head away without anyone noticing!

Ye Xiao had always said that one could be a bit sly, but one must keep one's word. A person without integrity is deeply disrespected by others!

As he approached the school gate, the same security guard was there at the same spot, but this time the guard did not prevent Ye Xiao from entering the school. Instead, upon seeing Ye Xiao, he quickly opened the gate!

"You're back?" the guard asked in surprise.

"Yes, what's up?" Ye Xiao responded.

"Nothing! Nothing!" The guard dared not say more. He clearly remembered hearing Han Fei return and threaten to end the very person who now stood unscathed before him. Although the guard didn't know who had taken Ye Xiao away, he knew Ye Xiao had left in a police car.

Ye Xiao just smiled and headed straight into the campus.

At that moment on the first floor of Minghai Academy's academic building, Su Yun stood in the corridor, very dejected. She had fully understood the situation about Ye Xiao—he had indeed made a move, but the dagger was pulled by Han Fei, who had tried to hurt Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao's action was justifiable self-defense. However, Han Fei's father was the top official in the Guard Bureau, and just for that reason alone, Ye Xiao was bound to be unlucky!

Su Yun couldn't accept this and had gone to see Principal Li Jianwen. Li Jianwen clearly already knew about the incident, but his response—"no way"—was unexpected and left Su Yun at a loss.

"If even Li Jianwen is powerless, then I really don't know whom else to turn to," Su Yun thought to herself.

"Should I call him?" Su Yun hesitated, but for some reason, she truly did not want Ye Xiao to be in trouble; perhaps because like her, Ye Xiao was also adrift in a strange place. Maybe this was what they meant by 'a fellow countryman in a foreign land.'

Summoning her courage, Su Yun took out her phone. She thought that if she didn't reach out to Ye Xiao quickly, given Han Fei's capability to have Ye Xiao detained in the Guard Bureau, he could certainly make Ye Xiao's time there miserable.

Thinking of the scenes of torture she had seen on TV dramas the night before, Su Yun couldn't hesitate any longer.

But just as she dialed the number, she heard a voice.

"Teacher Su!"

Su Yun immediately looked towards the speaker, and sure enough, it was Ye Xiao!

Seeing Ye Xiao, Su Yun thought she was hallucinating. She looked carefully and realized she was not—it was unmistakably Ye Xiao in front of her!

"Ye Xiao, how did you come back?" Su Yun quickly walked toward him, looking at him with puzzlement.

Smiling, Ye Xiao said, "Why can't I be back? When I left, I said that if I returned, it would prove that I was wrongly accused. Now the facts have demonstrated just that. Teacher Su, what's wrong?"

Su Yun felt her cheeks warm up. Was she caring too much for this new student?

"It's nothing. Since you're back, that's great. Hurry back to class," Su Yun told Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao nodded. He had things to do and headed straight for the classroom.

It didn't take long before Ye Xiao appeared at the classroom door.

At that moment, the classroom was in the middle of a lesson. The events that had transpired that afternoon had surprised all the students in class one, many of whom were still pondering over it, including Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan.

Ye Xiao went straight to the classroom door and knocked.

It was math class, and the middle-aged female math teacher looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Are you from this class?"

"Yes, teacher, I am the new transfer student," Ye Xiao replied.

"Transfer student?" The math teacher was slightly puzzled upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. Could this be the same Ye Xiao who had caused such an uproar at the school because of Han Fei? But how could he appear here?

"Come in," said the math teacher.

Just as the teacher finished speaking, the bell rang for the end of the class.

The math teacher announced the end of the lesson and walked out, carrying her teaching materials and not forgetting to take a curious glance at Ye Xiao.

Everyone in the classroom was surprised to see Ye Xiao there; after all, everyone had seen him taken away by the police. But now that Ye Xiao had returned unscathed, how could Han Fei just let him go? Especially since a mere forty minutes earlier, Han Fei had swaggered back in claiming to have trampled Ye Xiao, saying he'd never be able to rise again. So how could Ye Xiao appear here now?

Ye Xiao, preoccupied with urgent matters, walked straight up to Ling Shuya.

"Shuya, where is Zhan Bo?" Ye Xiao's face was very serious. He desperately wanted to know if Zhan Bo was alright; he couldn't bear to see Zhan Bo harmed because of him, or he would feel extremely guilty.

"Why should I tell you!" Ling Shuya responded discontentedly, for she was still the employer. This guy approaching as if he was interrogating her—how impolite!

Although Ye Xiao knew that Ling Shuya was his employer, he was a responsible man who understood that there were things he needed to face and bear. So he asked again, "Where is Zhan Bo?"

Ye Xiao's earnest look took Ling Shuya aback.

Zhou Yuyan seemed to realize that Ye Xiao was not joking and promptly said to him, "You're in such a hurry to find Zhan Bo; you're worried that Han Fei will harm him, aren't you? But you might be too late. Zhan Bo has already been taken away by Han Fei!"
