Chapter 1116: Call from the Chen Family
"Boss!" Zhou Hao ran over at this moment and, seeing the ground littered with bodies, asked, "Who are these people?"
"A bunch of idiots!" Ye Xiao said.
Then, Wang Luoxin also came over. When she walked up, she immediately saw He Huawei lying on the ground.
"It's him?" Wang Luoxin frowned as soon as she saw He Huawei.
Zhou Hao asked, "You know him?"
Wang Luoxin said, "Before dinner, Ye Xiao taught this guy a lesson. I didn't expect that his temper was so big that he'd hire a gunman to try and kill us."
"Boss, you were too impulsive." Zhou Hao immediately looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Hao in confusion.
Zhou Hao continued, "How could you let him die so easily? Not torturing him is really a bit unfair to him."
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and asked, "Are they okay?"
Wang Luoxin immediately laughed and said, "Of course they're fine. I knew you were worried about them."
Ye Xiao said, "They don't understand martial arts, so naturally, they need protection."
"Boss, sorry, this is my fault." Zhou Hao suddenly looked at Ye Xiao and said, "The Blood Wolf Guards' duty is to protect everyone, but we almost got hurt by these small fries."
"Today the Blood Wolf Guards are also tired. It's fine for them to take a break. Besides, I didn't let them come." Ye Xiao said.
Even though Ye Xiao said this, Zhou Hao still felt somewhat guilty.
It was the first day he brought Blood Blade to Bird City, but they failed to truly play a protective role, so at this moment, Zhou Hao secretly vowed never to let something like this happen again.
"Let's leave here. I believe the police will arrive soon," Ye Xiao said.
Thus, Ye Xiao, Zhou Hao, Wang Luoxin, and others all left the place.
At this point, both Ye Xiao and Zhou Hao were drenched once more.
When Ye Xiao got in the car, his phone rang again.
Ye Xiao looked at the phone number; it was an unfamiliar number, so he quickly answered.
"Is this Mr. Ye?"
Hearing the voice, Ye Xiao thought it sounded familiar, and asked, "Who is this?"
"I am Chen Zeming!" the person on the phone said.
This person was indeed Chen Zeming, the father of Chen Cangyu and Chen Yiyi.
The Chen family was a very influential family in Bird City; however, their overall strength wasn't particularly outstanding. Previously, they had cooperated with the Zhao family and joined forces with Liuyue, giving them a slight advantage for a time. But after the events at Lotus Driving School this afternoon, the Chen family's advantage vanished and there was even a risk of ruin. After all, Liuyue had been finished off by Chen Cangyu.
"Sorry, I don't know you." Ye Xiao said truthfully because he truly didn't know who Chen Zeming was.
Chen Zeming gave an awkward smile, then said, "I am the father of Cang Yu and Yiyi."
"Oh, I see. I wonder what instructions you have for me, sir?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zeming immediately said, "Mr. Ye, you're joking. How could I possibly instruct you? I am aware that you are a young hero. Previously, there were many misunderstandings between the Chen family and yourself. Please, Mr. Ye, be magnanimous."
"Sir, you flatter me," Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Let's not talk about past matters anymore. After all, everyone makes mistakes."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is wise. Cang Yu has already conveyed your wishes to me. Rest assured, the Chen family will do everything we can to help you eliminate those clueless elements of the Zhao family," Chen Zeming said to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "Sir, you might have misunderstood. Cang Yu mentioned that he wanted to deal with the Zhao family. I didn't specifically ask him to do so. Maybe it's an issue between your Chen and Zhao families, and as an outsider, it seems inappropriate for me to say much."
Chen Zeming is a sly old fox.
How could he not understand what Ye Xiao meant?
Ye Xiao wanted the Chen family to confront the Zhao family directly, or rather, he wanted the Chen family to express their sincerity to him.
Chen Zeming was naturally a bit unhappy, but at this moment, it seemed inappropriate to show any displeasure. Otherwise, the Chen family would be in trouble.
After all, the Chen family knew of Ye Xiao's status as a member of the Flame Dragon Team, and after Chen Cangyu returned to the Chen family and explained Ye Xiao's current proficiency, it shocked both Mr. Chen and Chen Zeming.
Someone who could easily injure Liuyue wasn't just any ordinary Xuan Rank expert. In other words, he was very likely an Earth Rank martial artist.
Though Xuan Rank and Earth Rank seem close, their statuses are worlds apart.
An Earth Rank expert is respected wherever they go and is always treated as an honored guest.
Offending an Earth Rank expert, and especially one from the Flame Dragon Team, is basically a precursor to extermination.
So, after discussing with Mr. Chen, Chen Zeming decided to call Ye Xiao, hoping to establish some connection with him. After all, Liuyue had always maintained a close relationship with the Chen family, wouldn't Ye Xiao hold a grudge knowing about this?
If Ye Xiao were a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, it might be different, but this guy is barely in his twenties and has already reached the Earth Rank, he's basically a prodigy in martial arts.
Such a martial arts prodigy is something any martial arts organization in the world would fight to recruit.
Even if the whole Chen family risked their lives, they might not compare to Ye Xiao's outstanding talent.
Some things can't be bought with money, such as this exceptional talent.
"Mr. Ye is absolutely right, my Chen family despises the Zhao family's despicable behavior. As Mr. Ye's friend, the Zhao family constantly seeks to harm Mr. Ye, which is an egregious sin. My Chen family must eradicate the Zhao family, but Zhao Guangyi's strength is indeed exceptional, so if it really comes down to it, Mr. Ye, you must help our Chen family," Chen Zeming said seriously to Ye Xiao.
In the end, it seemed like the Chen family was the one asking Ye Xiao for help.
Clearly, this was the effect Ye Xiao wanted.
Ye Xiao said with a smile, "I am friends with Cang Yu and Yiyi, if they are in trouble, I will naturally help. If there is nothing else, let's leave it at that, I have some small matters to attend to."
"Mr. Ye, wait a moment!" Chen Zeming immediately said, "There's one matter, you must hear it out before hanging up."
"Oh?" Ye Xiao asked, "What is it that's so urgent?"
Chen Zeming said, "It's about Liuyue."
"Was he not killed by your son?" Ye Xiao said.
Hearing this, Chen Zeming was immediately furious. Liuyue was clearly severely injured by Ye Xiao, and Chen Cangyu only delivered the final blow, or even without it, Liuyue would have died all the same.
Ye Xiao's words were simply slanderous.
But what could Chen Zeming do now?
According to Chen Zeming's temperament, he would have long fallen out with Ye Xiao, but the reason he made this call was because the Chen family had already resolved to compromise with Ye Xiao, at least for Chen Cangyu's sake.
After all, even with the final blow, Liuyue's last breath was still ended by Chen Cangyu, which meant that if the matter was exposed, the Chen family would surely face annihilation.
"Yes!" Chen Zeming said, "Liuyue wasn't alone in Bird City."
"Oh?" Ye Xiao, hearing this from Chen Zeming, showed some interest. If that were the case, it would indeed be intriguing.
Ye Xiao asked, "Who else?"
"Names, I don't know, but I only know they are also from the Flame Dragon Team like Liuyue. These people must be eliminated, otherwise, they could pose some threat to Mr. Ye too, after all, they are Liuyue's accomplices."
Ye Xiao said, "Senior, do you know what the outcome of saying these words might be? They are from the Flame Dragon Team, and I am also from the Flame Dragon Team."
"This..." Hearing Ye Xiao's emotionless words, Chen Zeming was stunned.
He didn't know what Ye Xiao intended, after all, Ye Xiao was indeed someone from the Flame Dragon Team.
Chen Zeming was at a loss for words.
"Haha, now does senior plan to tell me the whereabouts of these people?" Ye Xiao suddenly said with a laugh.
Chen Zeming hesitated a moment but still said, "Mr. Ye, since I've mentioned it, it shows my Chen family's sincerity in wanting to become partners with Mr. Ye."
"Go ahead!" Ye Xiao said.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Chen Zeming was delighted and quickly said, "I don't know their exact location, but I know the phone number of one of them. Once contacted, I'm sure we'll be able to lure them in and catch them all at once."
"Oh?" Hearing this from Chen Zeming, Ye Xiao pondered, then said, "Then why didn't those people go with Liuyue to Lotus Driving School?"
"That, I don't know," Chen Zeming said. "But it's certain that till Liuyue's death, they never showed up, and Cangyu was able to leave alone without encountering them, which proves that they might not have known about Liuyue going to the Lotus Driving School."
"Seems like this could be utilized," Ye Xiao said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye's meaning is?" Chen Zeming asked, a little unsure.
Ye Xiao said, "Go to Lotus Driving School again."
"What?" Chen Zeming was surprised to hear Ye Xiao say this.
Actually, Ye Xiao didn't want to go immediately either, after all, it was still raining. But if he didn't go now, leaving those troubles behind might make things even more complicated.
If these people spread the news of Liuyue's death to the Flame Dragon Team, although Liuyue died from Chen Cangyu's final blow, it was Ye Xiao who severely injured him in the first place.
So, Ye Xiao knew this matter couldn't be delayed, or else something big might happen.
Ye Xiao now truly felt fortunate for knowing this information so early, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
