VIP Chapter 113: I Am Her Uncle

Ye Xiaoxuan licked his lips, still faintly scented with the fragrance of the young beauty. In his eighteen years of life, it was the first time a girl had kissed him so boldly! And to top it off, she was the village's most admired maiden.

A group of bald men craned their necks, envy shining in their eyes as they looked at Ye Xiaoxuan. Especially Tietou, who was practically drooling, looking pitifully at Yuan Caiyi and muttering, “Actually… he could have asked me too…”

The Hydra glanced between Yuan Caiyi and Ye Xiaoxuan, unsure whether to confront or resign himself to the situation.

The reason was simple—Ye Xiaoxuan was just too uncanny. If he were a martial king, the Hydra’s crew might not have been so wary. But he was nothing more than a worthless martial student, yet somehow immune to all harm.

It was like working yourself to the bone hacking away, only to see the one you’re attacking fall asleep on the ground. When you collapse from exhaustion, he wakes up and casually grabs a stick to knock you down. What kind of feeling would that be?

Facing such a monster, the Hydra’s arrogance vanished. He was completely worn down and said helplessly to Yuan Caiyi, “Fine! Since you’ve chosen such a monster as your backing, I won’t bother you anymore! But Ye Xiaoxuan, don’t get cocky. We’re going to settle things with Chen Tianlei, unless he returns what he took! This is a strict order from above!”

Ye Xiaoxuan sneered, “So it’s the Wolf Team, huh? Honestly, I got involved out of curiosity because those things don’t belong to your Qitian Group—they belong to our Great Immortal Lake. Take this message to your leaders.”

The Hydra curled his lip, “Ye Xiaoxuan, you don’t even have the standing to warn the Qitian Group like that!”

Ye Xiaoxuan wagged a finger in front of him and said seriously, “Don’t take my words lightly—I never joke with those who aren’t friends. The things the Qitian Group took from Great Immortal Lake, sooner or later, I’ll retrieve every single one!”

The Hydra burst into laughter, standing and coldly staring at Ye Xiaoxuan. “What makes you think you can? Just because you’re fearless? You dodge cars, fires, floods? Or is it because any one of your kind here can’t match anyone from our side?”

Ye Dajun and Tietou stepped forward indignantly, pointing at the Hydra. “What did you say?”

Ye Xiaoxuan waved his hand, “Don’t get worked up. He’s right.” Then he turned calmly to the Hydra. “Our strength may be weak now, but it won’t be for long. Soon, we’ll be very strong. Consider this a witness.”

The Hydra’s arrogance flared again as he snorted heavily, “Even if you get stronger, you’re still just a bunch of petty thugs! Do you know how vast the foundation of the Qitian Group is? You few bumpkins trying to shake a giant tree with ants—what a joke!”

Ye Dajun glared and shouted, “You look down on us? Let’s fight right now and see who’s stronger!”

The Hydra sneered, “No need. I’m a Martial Guard; you’re just a Martial Master. Killing you would be only natural. You have three months—three months to enter the martial arts competition. Provided you survive and qualify, that is.”

Ye Dajun shouted angrily, “I don’t need your concern—our invitation has already been sent. We’ll settle this in the arena!”

The Hydra gave a disdainful glance, “If you were your leader, I might have some respect. But you’re a cripple! I can take you down with one hand!”

Ye Dajun’s fury boiled over as he pointed at the Hydra’s nose, “Let’s settle this one-on-one right now!”

Ye Xiaoxuan frowned, “Enough! Let’s go. There’s nothing more to ask. By the way, you better not think of messing with her.”

He pointed toward the young policewoman, Guan Ling.

The Hydra’s eyes darkened as he looked at Guan Ling, a faint lecherous gleam barely concealed. “Ye Xiaoxuan, you’re really full of yourself, aren’t you? That girl has nothing to do with you, right? She’s overheard a lot about our business. If you just let her go, she’ll be trouble down the line. What, is she your girlfriend too?”

Guan Ling felt a slight relief. As a police officer, she should be the one in charge here—both sides should have been obedient, hands on heads, listening to her reprimands and directions. Yet no one even glanced at her; they acted as if she didn’t exist.

What kind of world was this? Even the bad guys all had guns, but she, a proud policewoman, didn’t even have one—her entire precinct had only one gun, always locked away and never used.

She refused to believe these criminals could intimidate her! Puffing out her small chest, she scolded the Hydra furiously, “I don’t need anyone to protect me! You’re suspected of attempted murder of a police officer, plus assault and disturbing the peace. I hereby order you to come with me to the station to record your statement and face the full force of the law!”

The Hydra shook his head and said to the Red Five and others nearby, “Have women police all become fools? They never see what’s really going on! Little cop, do you believe I’d shoot you dead?”

Guan Ling nodded solemnly, “I do. But if I die, your charges only get worse. And with so many eyes and mouths around here, you can’t hide it. When your superiors get involved, you won’t live to see another day.”

The Hydra hesitated, his expression showing some caution. Ye Xiaoxuan watched Guan Ling with interest and asked, “How do you know he’s not acting under orders from above?”

Guan Ling shot him a glare but explained, “The Qitian Group has grown so large and hasn’t been cracked down on by the state. They care deeply about their image. They definitely wouldn’t kill a police officer—anyone who does that invites huge trouble.”

Ye Xiaoxuan nodded, impressed by the young officer. The Hydra sneered lecherously at her, “Even if I don’t kill you, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. Isn’t that right, beautiful little police flower?”

Guan Ling’s skin crawled under his lascivious gaze, wishing she could gouge out his eyes. But she was also afraid—if she did, she’d be utterly helpless, with no one to turn to.

Ye Xiaoxuan shook his head and said to the Hydra, “I won’t let you treat her like that.”

The Hydra snarled, “Ye Xiaoxuan, enough! Don’t get too arrogant. She’s not yours, and you’re just a thug, not some savior.”

Ye Xiaoxuan chuckled softly, “Calm down. She’s not related to me, true. But her father is my eldest brother! So, by that logic, she’s my niece! How could I stand by and watch my niece get bullied? Don’t believe me? Check for yourself—my brother’s name is Guan Du. See if he’s her father.”
