I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"General Ye?" Niu Chong recognized the person at a glance.

Ye Wu walked past Zhao Jingang and patted the brothers on the shoulders.

"I was passing by and thought something had happened, but it turns out it's someone from your martial arts association."

I said, "Who dares to cause such a commotion in Mingdai?"

Zhao Jingang shook hands with Ye Wu politely, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

"They even tore up the floor tiles. What kind of deep-seated grudge is this?"

Ye Wu looked at Xu Yuan lying on the ground: "What happened?"

"You guys did it?"

"Our investigation revealed that he might be involved in Diao Zhongjia's death. After asking him a few more questions, there might have been a misunderstanding, which led to the attack," Niu Chong explained with a smile.

"Did you get any results from those questions?"

Ye Wu always had a smile on his face: "I know that everyone in your martial arts association is feeling bad about Diao Zhongjia's accident."

If you want revenge, you need to find your real enemy.

I think he's just a child, and his parents recently passed away. He's pitiful enough, and you still want to make things difficult for him.

"How about this? I've met him once."

How about you do me a favor?

"If it is found that Diao Zhongjia's death is indeed related to him, I will personally take care of him for you."

Since there's no evidence, let's not make things difficult for them.

Niu Chong looked at Zhao Jingang. Their internal problems were an internal matter. Now that Ye Wu was about to speak, with Zhao Jingang present, even though he was the nominal chairman, he wouldn't dare to make a decision on his own.

"Since Mr. Ye has spoken, we have nothing more to say."

Zhao Jingang nodded and bowed to Ye Wujiang with clasped hands: "Mr. Ye, when do you have time? I'll treat you, and we can sit down together."

"Let's do it another day. I have something to talk to him about."

Ye Wu pointed to the wish on the ground. Zhao Jingang could tell that his relationship with the boy was unusual, so he wisely turned and left.

Niu Chong glanced at Xu Yuan unwillingly; he was so close, so very close.

"Everyone, you can leave now."

The thugs, who were standing, helped their injured comrades and quickly dispersed through the various exits.

The antique street returned to its former tranquility. Zhang Yunxi hid inside a shop, watching the large number of people leave, unsure of what to do.

It feels like I've gotten myself into trouble, yet it also feels like it has nothing to do with me.

"Uncle Fu, take him to the hospital."

Du Aili called to Uncle Fu that she should take Xu Yuan to get her injury checked.

Ye Wu walked up to Xu Yuan, lowered his head and smiled, "Stop pretending, everyone's gone."

Worried, Xu Nuo and Du Aili looked at Xu Yuan with curiosity.

He cautiously opened one eye, glanced around to make sure Niu Chong and the others were gone, and then got up from the ground.

"Good heavens, so many people, it almost scared me to death."

"So you were faking it all along."

Du Aili glared at Xu Yuan, both embarrassed and angry.

She was so worried just now, afraid that something really happened to Xu Yuan, but it turns out he was just faking it.

Du Aili reached out and pinched Xu Yuan to vent her displeasure.

Seeing this, Xu Nuo covered her mouth and chuckled.

Are the two of them flirting?

Noticing the gazes directed at her and the others, Du Aili realized that her behavior seemed a bit inappropriate, and a blush instantly rose to her face.

"There's a teahouse up ahead, shall we sit down together?" Ye Wujiang suggested.

It wouldn't be good to refuse someone who just helped me out of a difficult situation.

Xu Yuan asked his sister to wait for him in the car, and walked side by side with Ye Wu towards the teahouse next door.

"Thank you for helping me out, sir."

"Do you need me to help you out?"

Ye Wu responded half-jokingly: "With your strength, even if so many more people come, you can easily get away, right?"

"The so-called Eight Vajras are no match for you at all."

"Sir, you think too highly of me."

I don't have that kind of skill, but I can play dead, though.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wu gave him a deep look.

At such a young age, he possesses remarkable skills, yet remains humble and unassuming, knowing how to keep his abilities to himself—truly extraordinary.

When Zhang Yunxi saw Xu Yuan and the others leave, she hurriedly opened the door and tried to run away, but the shop owner suddenly reached out and grabbed her.

"Wait, you're with them, right?"

"I broke some things in my shop, do you have to pay for them?"

"What? I don't know them." Zhang Yunxi tried to break free from the shop owner's grasp.

The shop owner clung to it like it was the last straw.

"You're lying. You said before that was your brother, and he called you 'little sister' too."

He held up the calculator in his hand and shoved it in front of Zhang Yunxi's eyes: "It's two million in total. I'll give you a discount, you can give me one million eight hundred thousand."

"How much? Are you robbing me?"

"I don't care, you're not leaving without paying."

Inside the teahouse, Xu Yuan and Ye Wujiang sat facing each other in a small private room, while two people stood guard outside beside Ye Wujiang.

Ye Wujiang poured Xu Yuan a cup of tea. Xu Yuan politely accepted the cup and calmly gazed at the elderly man opposite her, whose age did not match his physique.

His physique is much younger than his actual age, and there are many reasons for this: it is innate, it is due to Uncle Fu's good deeds, and it is also because he has practiced the Qi cultivation method, not the kind that he has practiced for a year or two.

Compared to his master, he is far inferior; among ordinary people, he would be considered top-tier.

Ye Wu maintained a calm smile throughout, not flinching from Xu Yuan's direct gaze.

"Since we're all straightforward people, I won't beat around the bush."

He had investigated Xu Yuan and knew that he liked to say whatever he wanted.

Trying to beat around the bush with this kind of person will only make them resentful, as they'll feel like they're being schemed against.

Telling the truth will win his favor.

Have you ever heard of the "Leming Encyclopedia"?

The Grand Canon of Leming?

I had heard of it when I was on the mountain; it seemed to be an important ancient book that recorded all sorts of things.

"I heard it was stolen."

"That's right, the 'Leming Encyclopedia' was stolen from the treasure pavilion thirty years ago."

I have been investigating this matter.

It was later learned that it had been stolen overseas by a martial artist from this country.

Ye Wu took a leisurely sip of tea: "To be honest, it's also my fault."

"He was originally my defeated opponent. Because he was defeated by me, he was not given important responsibilities and became resentful, so he stole national treasures and fled."

"I heard that he used the Leming Grand Canon in his possession to find a remarkable master overseas."

Tomorrow, he's taking his belongings back to China and has sent word that he wants to meet with me to avenge what happened years ago.

"At my age, success or failure is no longer important."

I want to reclaim the country's treasures even more.

"He's looking for you, not me. What do you mean by looking for me?" Xu Yuan grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it heartily.

He guessed Ye Wu's intentions, but he didn't say it.

"I hope you can come with me to the appointment."

Ye Wu looked up at Xu Yuan expectantly: "I didn't bring many people with me to Mingdai this time. I had them come from all over the country, and there wasn't enough time."

I originally intended to find some helpers at the Mingdai Martial Arts Association, but as you saw today, they are all a rabble and unlikely to amount to anything.

"What benefits will I get?" Xu Yuan asked without reservation.

"What benefits do you want?" Ye Wu asked in return.

The fact that Xu Yuan asked this question means there's hope.

"I can step in and help you resolve the martial arts tournament matter."

"No need for that. I don't even consider a small Mingdai Martial Arts Tournament a threat."

Dealing with them is an easy task.

Xu Yuan raised his head: "If I get the 'Leming Encyclopedia' back, may I take a look at it?"

Actually, it wasn't that he wanted to see it, but rather that his master had mentioned it several times before.

He can read it and tell his master about it.

Ye Wu pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After finishing their business, Xu Yuan did not linger and got up to leave the teahouse.

After watching Xu Yuan leave, the bodyguard quickly walked to Ye Wu's side: "Sir, is he alright?"

"Or we could notify our senior brothers and have them come over."

Ye Wu put his hands behind his back, his expression calm: "They arrived a long time ago."

"Saying no one came is just an excuse."

"I brought him along mainly to see what he's really capable of."
