Peerless Martial Expert in the City

"Friend?"

Seeing the girl staring straight at him as if she had turned into a fool, Xiao Yi's brows slightly furrowed, "Friend, do you have anything else?"

"Ah, no, nothing more, I just have this suitcase, really, thank you so much!"

The girl finally came back to her senses, her face turning slightly red as she expressed her gratitude to him.

"Oh, then that's fine."

Xiao Yi nodded, set down her suitcase, and turned to walk towards the front door of the train.

To Xiao Yi, this girl was just like countless others who had appeared in his life, merely a fleeting encounter on a hurried journey.

The girl watched Xiao Yi's retreating figure weaving through the crowd, her face showing a hint of curiosity. He was truly an odd boy.

Thinking about how quickly he'd left, she realized she had forgotten to ask for his contact information. He might now disappear into the sea of people, never to be seen again, which made her feel a slight tinge of disappointment.

"Young man, wait a minute!"

As soon as the train had stopped, Xiao Yi turned to step off.

Just as he disembarked, Xiao Yi was about to walk towards the exit when he heard an urgent call from behind him.

"Are you calling me? What's the matter?"

Hearing the call from behind, a cold smirk crossed Xiao Yi's face. He had noticed on the train that the man in the suit kept glancing at him, but never dared to ask for his wallet. Seeing Xiao Yi moving, he had followed closely behind until Xiao Yi got off, and only then did he call out to him.

However, Xiao Yi had no desire to return the wallet to this man so easily.

Stopping in his tracks, Xiao Yi turned with a puzzled look to face the suit-wearing man who was gasping for breath behind him.

"Young man... that, my wallet, could you give it back to me?"

The man in the suit looked at Xiao Yi, who was feigning confusion, and his face turned even redder, but considering the amount of money in his wallet, he mustered the courage to say, "I can give you some of the money."

"Sir, I think you're mistaken, something about your wallet? I don't quite understand."

Xiao Yi felt some disdain in his heart. The wallet was now his, all the money in it too, why should he accept just a part of it?

"I... young man."

The suit-wearing man had not expected Xiao Yi to be so difficult to deal with. Even after getting to this point, he still pretended to be ignorant, his face almost turning as red as his neck.

"Sir, I'm not very familiar with you, nor am I your brother, please do not call me carelessly."

Xiao Yi was quite unapologetic in his response.

"You... how can you be like this? My wallet, how can you simply not return it to me? Do you know, this is illegal!"

The suit-wearing man was choked with anger by Xiao Yi's words, his face turning even redder, swollen like a pig's liver, as he shouted loudly.

"Ooh, illegal, I'm so scared," Xiao Yi's face revealed a mocking sneer, making an exaggerated scared expression, then his look turned cold, he said seriously, "Sir, please make sure you have evidence when you speak. If you insist I took your wallet, please present proof. Otherwise, as a law-abiding good citizen, please don't slander me."

"This time I won't take issue with you. Excuse me, I have things to do, please don't block my way."

After speaking indifferently, Xiao Yi turned and walked briskly towards the exit ahead, leaving the man with a pig liver-colored face standing there, unable to say a word.

If the man in the suit had recognized his own mistake and spoken nicely to him, Xiao Yi might have considered returning it, as he didn't care about the few thousand yuan in the wallet. To have the audacity to talk about legality with him? With the kind of behavior he exhibited on the train, was he even qualified to be a legal professional?

Even though the man in the suit had not revealed his identity, Xiao Yi had seen everything in the wallet when he had taken it earlier, including the man's business card which clearly showed his occupation and position.

After exiting the train station, Xiao Yi scanned the crowd once over and soon walked towards a corner on the left side.

"Sir, we are waiting for someone here, please don't stand there and block our view."

Just as Xiao Yi arrived next to a parked silver-black Mercedes and checked the tag to confirm it as his, prepared to speak, he saw a brawny, stern-faced man next to a middle-aged person by the Mercedes who approached him saying calmly.

Xiao Yi was slightly startled, then pointed to another stocky man holding a sign next to him and asked, "Are you waiting for Xiao Yi?"

"Yes, we are waiting for Mr. Xiao, so please step aside."

The stocky man nodded, his tone already somewhat impatient.

Mr. Xiao is Mr. Chen's honored guest, and even Uncle Liu is coming to pick him up personally. If they let this earthy, skinny kid stand in the way and affect their reception of Mr. Xiao, and if Mr. Xiao were to complain because of it, that would be unfortunate.

"Oh, then we can leave."

Upon hearing the man confirm that they were indeed there to pick him up, Xiao Yi nodded and said.

"What?"

The stocky man hadn't reacted yet and looked at Xiao Yi with surprise.

The other two men also stared at Xiao Yi with astonishment.

"I am Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yi pointed to himself.

"You are Xiao Yi?"

The three men standing in front of the Benz car, upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, couldn't help but widen their eyes and open their mouths in astonishment.

How could this man before them, gaunt and pale, wearing a set of clothes worth no more than three hundred yuan from a street stall, looking utterly ordinary, be Mr. Chen's distinguished guest, Mr. Xiao Yi?

"Do you have any proof that you are Mr. Xiao?"

After a while, the middle-aged man standing in the center, who had a composed demeanor, finally snapped back to reality and asked in a deep voice.

"You were sent by Chen Jianguo, right?"

Xiao Yi looked at the three men indifferently and casually took out a card from his pocket, tossing it to him, "This is my ID card."

Seeing Xiao Yi call Mr. Chen by his full name so directly and with such an indifferent tone, the middle-aged man's expression grew solemn. Catching the card that Xiao Yi tossed over, he examined it carefully and then politely said, "Mr. Xiao, I apologize for the impudence earlier. My name is Liu Yuan, I am Mr. Chen's secretary. Mr. Chen specifically instructed me to pick you up, and he has been waiting for a while."

"It's fine, you haven't seen me before, it's normal not to recognize me."

Xiao Yi waved his hand indifferently, "Can we go now?"

"Of course, of course, Mr. Xiao, please."

Liu Yuan hurriedly reached out to open the car door, respectfully inviting him in.

Xiao Yi did not hesitate, turned, and got into the car.

After Xiao Yi got into the car, Liu Yuan also got inside.

The other two stocky men finally snapped out of their shock and quickly walked to the front of the car, each opening a door on one side and getting in.

Not far away, the man in the suit who had been close on their heels looked on at this scene, and the courage and determination he had just mustered to reclaim his wallet from Xiao Yi suddenly waned.

He had planned to reveal his identity as a lawyer, confront him, and warn him, telling him he better return his wallet honestly. With Xiao Yi's attire, he probably was just an ordinary kid from the mountains and would be afraid of him.

But then...

He could never have imagined that when he caught up, he would witness such a shocking scene. Although he didn't recognize those three men, he understood that their demeanor was clearly not that of ordinary people, and the person they were treating with such respect—who could that be?

God knows what magnate that could be!

Such a flashy, easy-to-remember license plate without letters was not something ordinary people could get!

"If you're so rich, why are you riding such a cheap train? Even if you want to play coy like a pig to eat a tiger, keeping a low profile, if you're so wealthy, why won't you return my wallet to me?"

Watching the Benz car drive away into the distance, the man in the suit's heart bled continuously.

The few thousand yuan inside wasn't a significant amount of money, but to a small-time lawyer like him, it was not a small sum either.
