Chapter 1
By noon, Minghai City bus station wasn't very crowded. However, there was a scene by the bus station.
"Hehe, don't be scared, beautiful. We guys are reasonable. Just let us touch you a bit, and that's all we'll do under the bright sun. No one can do those things we do at night right now, you understand?" A sly-looking young man with rat-like eyes tightly fixed on the chest of the young woman standing in front of him, his eyes glowed with a predatory light as if he was restraining himself!
"You… you guys stay away, take one more step and I'll call the police!" The girl was trembling nervously, her voice shaking so much that she could hardly speak clearly!
At this moment, Song Jiaqian truly regretted not having taken the train in compliance. If it wasn't for her motion sickness, she would never have fallen asleep on the bus, and even after the bus attendant had urged her to get off, she decided to rest a bit more on the bus. But unintendedly, her nap had brought trouble as she ended up in the hands of these hooligans!
Although this was the bus station, the peak time of passenger flow had passed. Moreover, the bus stop area was somewhat remote, so Song Jiaqian really found herself in a desperate situation!
The hooligans saw her nervousness and trembling, the restraint they seemingly had, ultimately collapsed entirely!
"Damn it, giving you a face and you don't want it. I'll show you what it's like to play with love under the broad daylight!" The leader among the young men, unable to restrain himself anymore, took a step forward and reached out to grab Song Jiaqian!
Song Jiaqian's face turned pale with fright, she instinctively screamed loudly. The man covered Song Jiaqian's mouth with his hand and pinned her down on the ground!
The other three young men immediately burst into laughter, and the sly-looking young man shouted loudly, "Scream, haha, even if you scream your voice hoarse, no one will dare to come over, haha, Brother Leopard, the show is getting exciting, haha…"
Song Jiaqian struggled with all her might. She tried to scream, but the man's strength was overwhelming, she couldn't move or make a sound. What was more terrifying was that it was summer and she was wearing very light clothing; now, the grubby young man was almost touching her. At that moment, Song Jiaqian truly felt like dying!
Brother Leopard was in a great mood. He really hadn't expected such an opportunity while collecting protection money here. It seemed that he would have to visit this bus station more often in the future…
Just as Brother Leopard was thinking about how to flaunt his manhood, suddenly, a loud sound of flowing water reached everyone's ears, causing Brother Leopard, who was ready to make his move, to pause momentarily!
"Little Hui, go check what's going on. I don't want any disturbances while I'm working!" The sly-looking youth immediately nodded and muttering curses, he walked towards a bus parked nearby. When Little Hui approached, he found a youth dressed shabbily standing beside a bus tire, urinating. Just urinate if you need to, why the hell jump around while doing it!
"Shit, what are you doing here?" Little Hui looked at the excited young man urinating and shouted loudly!
"Are you talking to me?" The youth smiled as he looked at Little Hui!
Little Hui sized up the youth, who seemed like a naive student. Little Hui had tattoos on his body, and seeing that the youth didn't seem the least bit afraid of him, he got angry!
"Get lost quick, or I'll make sure you'll never be able to pee again!" boasted Little Hui, flaunting the tattoos on his arm.
However, right at that moment, suddenly, a sharp cry for help came through!
"Help…"
Little Hui's face changed instantly, but the young man's expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Get lost!" Little Hui shouted angrily!
Slyly smiling, the youth said, "Dude, only you guys having fun doesn't seem fair. If there's joy to be shared, hey, I want in!"
Little Hui was stunned. What kind of day was this when even bystanders wanted a share?
"Go to hell!" As soon as Little Hui's words fell, his fist flew towards the young man's face. The youth still wore a nonchalant smile, but just as Little Hui's fist was about to land, not even three centimeters away from the youth's cheek, the young man's figure suddenly vanished!
Little Hui was shocked; the man had disappeared into thin air! Wasn't this nonsense?
While Little Hui was searching for the young man, a voice rang out behind him!
"Oh my, my dear sister, didn't you say this world was wonderful? And you told me not to fight with anyone, but what if they hit me?" The voice was both aggrieved and helpless, as if the young man had suffered a great injustice!
Little Hui couldn't believe it, a human could move so fast, and he shouted loudly: "Boss, this one's tough!"
Right after Little Hui's words hit the ground, the young man apparently in displeasure tapped Little Hui's neck, causing him to immediately roll up his eyes and lose consciousness!
Leaning against the rear of the bus, the young man looked up at the sky and sighed, "Master once said, 'If others do not offend me, I might not easily offend others; but if someone offends me, I shall repay them a hundredfold.' Ah, I should listen to Master's words!"
While Brother Leopard was thinking about dealing with Song Jiaqian, he heard Little Hui's shout and instantly lost the mood for business; he immediately brought two other underlings over. When he arrived and saw Little Hui already lying unconscious behind the bus and a young man standing beside him, Brother Leopard also heard what the young man had just said!
Brother Leopard and his two underlings furiously looked at the young man, "Damn, you dare to hit my brother!"
"You got the line wrong. As the boss, you should say to me, 'Damn, I'm gonna chop you up!'" Ye Xiao chuckled and said to Brother Leopard!
Brother Leopard, clearly knowing he was being mocked, didn't say another word, and swung his fist at the young man immediately, while the two underlings also quickly attacked the young man from two different directions!
It seemed the three men were about to surround the young man, leaving him with no choice but to get beaten; however, was the young man someone who could be easily bullied?
After a few screams, the young man chuckled and walked out, while Brother Leopard and his two underlings all collapsed on the ground!
The young man leisurely walked up to where Song Jiaqian was. By this time, Song Jiaqian had managed to dress herself, but she still looked quite disheveled!
Song Jiaqian wasn't deaf, so she had heard everything that had just happened clearly and knew that this young man before her was the hero who had pulled her from the depths of despair!
The young man chuckled, glanced at Song Jiaqian, and threw out a remark that almost made Song Jiaqian spew blood, then he turned around to leave!
"This girl is quite pretty; no wonder those guys wanted to do that thing. Oh well, I am righteous, hmm, why am I so righteous? Damn!"
Just as the young man was about to leave, Song Jiaqian quickly stepped forward and said, "You… What is your name?"
The young man paused, turned around to look at Song Jiaqian, still with a cynical smile on his face, and said, "What? Don't tell me you want to repay me with your body? You better think clearly and not give yourself to the wrong person by a whim of passion, hehe. I know you want to ask for my name, and it's okay to tell you, I… hehe, my name is Ye Xiao!"
Song Jiaqian originally wanted to ask, but Ye Xiao had already said it all, which left her stunned right there. Ye Xiao, with a smile, turned around and walked away, and by the time Song Jiaqian snapped back to reality, Ye Xiao was already far away!
"What a weird guy, but he seems quite interesting!" Song Jiaqian murmured. Just then, she suddenly remembered the terrifying event that had just occurred and hurriedly ran towards the bus station to catch up with Ye Xiao and properly thank him; but by the time she got out, Ye Xiao was no longer at the entrance of the bus station!
…
In a small supermarket at the bus station, Ye Xiao leisurely stood at the entrance, watching Song Jiaqian rush to the bus station gate, look around disappointingly for a while, then leave disheartened. Suddenly, Ye Xiao chuckled and murmured, "Just threw away a piece of meat delivered to my mouth, what a pity. Elder sister, if it weren't for the promise I made to you, sigh…"
Ye Xiao walked out of the bus station, and immediately a taxi driver approached him with a smile, saying, "Young man, where to?"
Ye Xiao quickly pulled out a very crumpled note from inside his clothes. The handwriting was somewhat blurred but still legible and read 'Hengyu Group'!
Ye Xiao handed the note to the taxi driver and said, "Can you take me to this place?"
The taxi driver examined the note, then looked up at Ye Xiao uncertainly and asked, "You are going to the Hengyu Group?"
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Isn't it written right there?"
"Are you talking about the Hengyu Group in Minghai City, one of the top three?" The taxi driver was still uncertain. After all, the Hengyu Group, known as a financial powerhouse worth billions of dollars, yet here was this young man who looked plain and simple, like a total country bumpkin, going to the Hengyu Group?
"Are you going or not? If not, I will find another taxi!" Ye Xiao said with slight impatience.
The taxi driver immediately chuckled and said, "Go, of course, let's go. Quick, get in, let's go now!"
On the way, the taxi driver occasionally inquired about Ye Xiao's connection to the Hengyu Group, to which Ye Xiao truthfully replied, no connection, his first time in Minghai City!
About half an hour later, the taxi arrived near a 56-story building, and Ye Xiao also saw the big letters on top of the building, 'Hengyu Building'!
Getting out of the taxi, Ye Xiao walked leisurely toward the Hengyu Building.
However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Hengyu Building, he was stopped by two security guards.
