Han Xuewei looked at the three assassins stacked up in surprise. Although she knew Ye Xiao was formidable, she hadn't expected him to take down these three men in less than two minutes and without seemingly breaking a sweat.

Just then, Ye Xiao moved swiftly to Han Xuewei's side, grinning as if he believed he had accomplished something great. He cheerfully approached her and asked, "How about that? Am I awesome or what?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Han Xuewei, as if she hadn't heard him at all, stared at him seriously and asked, "Who are these people?"

Hearing her question, the previously smiling Ye Xiao also turned serious.

Indeed, who were these people? Why would they attack Han Xuewei? Could they have been sent by Zhang Liujuan? But, Zhang Liujuan shouldn't have known that Han Xuewei was in this ward, right?

Although Ye Xiao was smart, he truly had no idea who had sent them. Moreover, he couldn't have imagined that these three assassins had come because of him.

"Do you have any enemies?" Ye Xiao asked.

Han Xuewei immediately responded, "If there's anyone who holds a grudge against me, it must be Huang Zongyuan. But isn't Huang Zongyuan currently arrested?"

Ye Xiao said, "It couldn't be Huang Zongyuan. He is already isolated by the police, and even if he wanted to send people, he definitely wouldn't have the opportunity."

"Could it be Zhang Liujuan? But, our grievances shouldn't be that severe," Han Xuewei said, puzzled.

Hearing Han Xuewei's words, Ye Xiao also felt it made sense. Zhang Liujuan could legally acquire a portion of the shares in Jianjun Real Estate; even if she wanted more, killing Han Xuewei would definitely be the least wise choice. But then, who could it be?

And who else knew that Han Xuewei was here?

Despite his cleverness, Ye Xiao still couldn't figure it out at this moment.

Ye Xiao reached out to support Han Xuewei, who was slightly startled but didn't struggle this time.

Han Xuewei was helped back to the bed by Ye Xiao and pointed at the three Martial Artists, saying, "If we don't find out if these Martial Artists were sent by the Cup Water School, this place could be very dangerous."

Ye Xiao glanced at the three stacked Martial Artists and suddenly smiled lightly, saying, "Actually, this isn't so difficult."

Ye Xiao casually took out a cell phone from his pocket and quickly dialed a number. Before long, Zhao Dapeng's voice came through the phone.

As soon as Zhao Dapeng realized Ye Xiao had called him, he immediately perked up, as a call at this time surely meant trouble.

"Brother Xiao."

Ye Xiao said, "Bring about a dozen men and come to the city hospital."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhao Dapeng immediately expressed surprise, wondering why Brother Xiao would be at the hospital, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xiao, are you alright?"

Ye Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "I'm fine. There are three people who need you to take them back. Try not to make too much noise."

Zhao Dapeng immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, Ye Xiao gave Zhao Dapeng the location of the ward and hung up the phone.

When Ye Xiao ended the call, he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes fixated on him.

Ye Xiao immediately turned to look at Han Xuewei and then walked over to the light switch and turned on the light.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't recognize me anymore? Or do you think I suddenly became very handsome?" Ye Xiao shamelessly said to Han Xuewei.

Han Xuewei immediately looked at Ye Xiao disdainfully and said, "You are not handsome at all."

Ye Xiao said nonchalantly, "Yet, you still seem to enjoy looking at me."

"When did I ever enjoy looking at you? Can you be less narcissistic?" Han Xuewei said with a speechless expression.

Ye Xiao then walked over to the three unconscious assassins.

He looked at the top assassin and a broad smile spread across his face.

Han Xuewei was puzzled, but her confusion deepened when she saw Ye Xiao suddenly grab the assassin's wrist with one hand while covering the assassin's mouth with the other. There was a cracking sound as Ye Xiao broke the assassin's wrist.

The assassin, who had been unconscious, immediately opened his eyes; his eyeballs were bloodshot. Just when it seemed he was about to shout, Ye Xiao covered his mouth, silencing him.

Ye Xiao then knocked out the assassin with a hand blade.

Han Xuewei barely believed what Ye Xiao had just done; to her, the acts he committed were exceedingly cruel.

But before Han Xuewei could recover from her shock, she saw Ye Xiao use the same method to break another hand of the assassin.

Han Xuewei was truly shocked now.

What on earth is he doing? Could it be that beneath his gentle appearance lies extreme brutality?

Han Xuewei looked at Ye Xiao without saying a word, while a smile remained on Ye Xiao's face. Moreover, he went on to break one of the assassin's legs.

What Han Xuewei found utterly unbearable was that Ye Xiao wasn't finished yet, as two more assassins received the same "favor" as the first one.

After Ye Xiao finished his violent acts, he exhaled, looking exhausted. That's when he caught a burning gaze upon him.

Ye Xiao immediately turned his head to Han Xuewei. Upon meeting his gaze, she quickly lowered her head, but Ye Xiao caught a glimpse of something quite extraordinary—there was fear in her eyes.

Ye Xiao, being highly perceptive, understood immediately.

"Is it strange to you why I am so cruel?" he asked, sitting in a chair and smiling at Han Xuewei.

Han Xuewei didn't respond, but slowly lifted her head to look at Ye Xiao. Her eyes filled with disbelief. Clearly, the cruel dismemberment of the three assassins was somewhat unbearable to witness.

Perhaps, if Ye Xiao had indeed killed these three assassins, Han Xuewei wouldn't have been so surprised.

"Let's put it this way, have you ever heard of someone who can bend steel bars solely with their strength?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Han Xuewei, hearing this, looked very surprised and confused, "Are you talking about purely using physical strength?"

Ye Xiao nodded.

Seeing him confirm, Han Xuewei grew even more astonished. In her view, it was impossible to break that steel bar with pure strength.

"That's impossible, um, unless it's those legendary strongmen," Han Xuewei stated.

"Right, those with innate divine strength could possibly do it. But, there is another type of person who can easily break them—these people are called Martial Artists, and ordinary people rarely know about them. Didn't it feel like watching a movie when I was fighting those three men?"

Han Xuewei upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, became even more puzzled—are those so-called legends, no, should it be said those only existing in movies, real?

Thinking it over, Han Xuewei started to believe what Ye Xiao said. After all, these three assassins were indeed very formidable.

However, this realization made Han Xuewei look at Ye Xiao in even greater astonishment as she said, "If that's the case, aren't you also one of those legendary Martial Artists? Moreover, even more powerful than those three."

Ye Xiao chuckled and replied, "I won't be modest here, you can think of me as a genius."

Hearing this, Han Xuewei displayed a look of disdain, but was simultaneously amazed to learn Ye Xiao was indeed a legendary Martial Arts master. No wonder Ye Xiao was always so confident.

"But why did you so cruelly disable these people?" Han Xuewei asked.

"Soon, someone will come to take them away, and those people are not Martial Artists. If I'm not here and these assassins regain their strength, those people will die," Ye Xiao explained with a smile. "They are all my brothers, and I won't allow a bomb to be handed to my brothers. It's absolutely forbidden. Also, I still need to find out from these three assassins who is behind them."

Han Xuewei, finally understanding the situation, slowly nodded her head.

Ye Xiao then said with a gentle smile, "Now you won't think I'm a sadist, right?"

Han Xuewei looked up at Ye Xiao, whose face seemed both sunny and pure. It was really strange, what kind of person was Ye Xiao, really? But at this moment, Han Xuewei genuinely believed that Ye Xiao wasn't a sadist.

"I never thought you were a sadist," Han Xuewei replied, looking away.

Seeing the expression on Han Xuewei, who was always so proud and decisive, Ye Xiao saw a rare vulnerable side to her.

Ye Xiao stood up, walked slowly to Han Xuewei, gently lifted her chin with his hand, and looked at her with deep affection, "I know Uncle Han just passed away, and you're stricken with grief. But Uncle Han's issues involve Huang Zongyuan, which means being entangled with a very dangerous dark power. I hope you can accept my protection."

At that moment, Han Xuewei was stunned. She really didn't expect Ye Xiao to talk to her about all this right now—which clearly seemed like an indirect confession.
