Chapter 1115: You Spoke Too Late
"Kill them!"
A hysterical roar echoed out.
Ye Xiao, Zhou Hao, Wang Luoxin, and the others, who were initially feeling groggy, were suddenly shocked.
"Not good!"
This was almost everyone's thought, but it was too late to go back now. Furthermore, they were still caught under the spotlight opposite them, making it impossible to hide!
The gunfire broke out, bullets flying everywhere.
Immediately, the glass of the Peony Restaurant shattered, although it was made of tempered glass!
Bam bam bam!
Almost everyone dropped to the ground instantly. Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were slower to react, but fortunately, they were surrounded by martial artists,
so at the moment the gunfire started, Zhou Hao, Wang Luoxin, Cheng Yun, and Ye Ziyan immediately tackled Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing to the ground.
Everyone brushed past death. At this moment, no one stayed still. As martial artists, having agile skills was fundamental. So after hitting the ground, they immediately scattered, leaving no one in front of the Peony Restaurant but broken glass.
"Chase!" one of the gunmen yelled loudly.
"Chase your sister!" This voice came from someone beside him.
"What?" He Huawei was somewhat surprised and immediately looked at the person behind him.
The person speaking was He Huawei, who had been humiliated by Ye Xiao before. In his anger, he quickly contacted an underground organization he had some dealings with.
Thus, a thrilling shooting incident unfolded. Unfortunately, He Huawei didn't realize he was up against a group of martial artists.
"You..." When He Huawei saw Ye Xiao standing next to him, he looked as if he'd seen a ghost and immediately screamed.
Ye Xiao looked at He Huawei, his face void of any smile. He was truly angry now, furious because He Huawei was actually trying to kill them.
If He Huawei only wanted to deal with him, that would be one thing, but Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing weren't martial artists. To put it harshly, what if they had failed to protect them?
Thinking of this, the flames of anger in Ye Xiao's heart burned even stronger.
At this moment, the people around He Huawei also noticed Ye Xiao, and in surprise, hurriedly raised their guns at him.
"It seems you've never faced death, have you?" Ye Xiao sneered coldly at He Huawei.
"You better not move. Look carefully, there are so many guns pointed at you now!" He Huawei threatened, but for some reason, he felt his voice lacked confidence.
"Do you really trust these lowlifes so much?" Ye Xiao mockingly replied in a cold voice.
"What did you say?" A burly man holding a pistol glared at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, looked at the man, and said, "Do you really think your gun is useful?"
"Killing you is a piece of cake!" the man replied.
"Seems you enjoy killing people!" Ye Xiao suddenly chuckled lightly.
"So what if I do? Do you think you still have a chance to leave alive?"
Ye Xiao truly found this funny. Do these people not wonder why he was here? Shouldn't he be lying in a pool of blood right now? Yet, he was standing here.
Of course, Ye Xiao laughed again. He figured these people wouldn't think about such questions because dead people don't think.
Still as a quiet mountain, swift as a fleeing rabbit!
These eight words perfectly described Ye Xiao at this moment because, just then, everyone watched as Ye Xiao, who had been right there in front of them, disappeared.
At least, when they looked with their naked eyes, Ye Xiao vanished like a shadow.
He Huawei was even more shocked because he was the closest to Ye Xiao.
However, at that moment, something very peculiar happened. As He Huawei was surprised, the hired gunmen he had spent a fortune on all collapsed straight down, dead beyond dead.
"Th-this..." He Huawei's expression was indescribable. He truly didn't know what had just happened.
And then, he saw Ye Xiao facing him. Although Ye Xiao was drenched in rain, He Huawei could still see the smile on his face.
"Did you... kill them?" He Huawei still couldn't comprehend the reality of it.
Ye Xiao said, "Yes, I killed them."
He Huawei, hearing Ye Xiao's response, nearly broke down.
"Don't you think you won't survive either?" Ye Xiao looked at He Huawei.
"N-no... you can't kill me," He Huawei said in shock, looking at Ye Xiao.
"Why can't I kill you? Give me one reason not to," Ye Xiao said to He Huawei.
He Huawei immediately replied, "My dad is He Yougen. He's very rich. Whatever money you want, I can give it to you."
"Alright, then why don't you give your dad a call?" Ye Xiao said casually.
"You're letting me call my dad?" He Huawei couldn't believe his ears. It was almost shocking.
Ye Xiao said, "I am a man of my word."
"Okay, I'll call!" He Huawei immediately took out his phone. He still had some clarity left, knowing that if Ye Xiao wanted money, he'd have a chance to survive.
He Huawei called his dad, He Yougen.
"Dad, it's me, Awei." The call connected.
But before He Yougen could speak, Ye Xiao grabbed the phone.
"This is Ye Xiao!" Ye Xiao's first words after taking the phone.
He Yougen was surprised upon hearing this. After all, the previous sentence had been from He Huawei.
Being an old hand, He Yougen cautiously asked Ye Xiao, "What's going on?"
"Your son tried to kill me," Ye Xiao said coldly.
Upon hearing this, He Yougen grew even more astonished. Ye Xiao said He Huawei tried to kill him, but the phone was now with Ye Xiao.
This was obviously very unusual.
"What do you plan to do now?" He Yougen asked.
"Simple, kill him!" Ye Xiao replied.
"Ye Xiao, dare you!" He Yougen roared angrily.
"You're too late," Ye Xiao said.
"What do you mean by that?" He Yougen didn't quite understand, but for some reason, an uneasy feeling crept in.
"Because your son is already dead," Ye Xiao said.
He Yougen, hearing Ye Xiao's words, couldn't possibly believe it, or he simply didn't dare to believe such a thing.
"Ye Xiao, this is no joking matter. We can discuss anything properly," He Yougen's voice trembled slightly.
Ye Xiao, looking at He Huawei's lifeless body, smiled and said, "I never joke with non-friends. Come to the Peony Restaurant in Jinling District and collect your son's body."
