"You... you... you... damn... don't imitate... imitate me, got it." The stuttering man finally managed to get a sentence out, making his group of underlings anxious.

"I..." Ye Hao wanted to mess around a bit, but Lin Ruyu gave him a glare and muttered, "Stop speaking like him. Just listening to him makes me anxious; he can't string a complete sentence together in ages."

"Alright, alright!" Ye Hao shrugged helplessly, then turned to ask the stuttering man, "Why are you looking for me? And why are you carrying knives and swords in public? Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

"I... I... ain't... ain't afraid." The stuttering man said disdainfully, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

Xue Zhaolong was beside him, and when the man sat down, Xue Zhaolong yanked the chair hard, causing him to end up on the ground, making everyone laugh out loud, even the stuttering man's underlings couldn't help but chuckle.

"You... you... damn... hammer." The stuttering man pointed at Xue Zhaolong and cursed.

Xue Zhaolong disdainfully picked up a wine bottle from the table and poured it over the stuttering man who was sitting on the ground.

His underlings were about to hit Xue Zhaolong, but Lu Yunsong, Zhuorong Town, and Tan Ming intercepted them. The three stood casually in front of those holding knives, completely fearless.

The stuttering man stood up and pushed Xue Zhaolong with his thigh, but Xue Zhaolong didn't fall over; instead, the stuttering man stumbled backward.

"You little..."

"Alright, alright, listening to you talk makes me more anxious than you. Let me help you stop stuttering first." Ye Hao walked up to the stuttering man, then slapped the man's neck with his big hand.

The underlings thought Ye Hao was hitting their boss and were about to raise their knives to hack at Lu Yunsong and the others.

"What are you trying to do? Damn, kid..." The stuttering man, after getting slapped by Ye Hao, spoke smoothly without stuttering.

At this point, Ye Hao asked, "Spit it out! Who sent you to mess with me, and what benefits did they offer you? I'll give you double, you go grab them and bring them to me."

The stuttering man, upon hearing this, looked pleasantly surprised and asked, "Really?"

"If you don't want the money, you can choose not to believe it. Now scram, you have half an hour, and if you can't find out who sent you by then, I don't mind making you stutter again." Ye Hao waved his hand dismissively.

"I was born a stutterer..."

Then suddenly he seemed to notice, "Eh? I think I'm not stuttering anymore?"

"You have twenty-nine minutes." Ye Hao checked his watch and said.

"Ah! I'm really not stuttering anymore?" The stuttering man now realized he wasn't stuttering and shouted excitedly.

"You have twenty-eight minutes left."

"Haha! I'm not stuttering anymore. I'll go right away, thank you, brother. Really, thank you, I've been stuttering for years, never thought I'd have a chance to stop!"

"What are you standing there for? Go grab that damn woman and bring her back. Can't you see I've met a benefactor?" The stuttering man shouted to his underlings.

"Yes!" The underlings, sensing their boss's new attitude, hastily headed back to their headquarters.

"Hey brother, I'm the black... ahem, I'm Lv Dong, the person in charge of this area's safety and stuff." The stuttering man, now more humble, extended his hand to Ye Hao.

Ye Hao didn't shake his hand and mocked, "Collecting protection fees is one thing, but protecting people? You think I'm blind?"

Lv Dong, the middle-aged man addressed by Ye Hao, gave an awkward laugh.

"Hey brother, sorry about today! Really, Lv here failed to recognize Mount Tai. Of course, the most important thing is thanks for curing my stutter." Lv Dong said gratefully.

"No problem, I'd like to know who sent you here to trouble me." Ye Hao waved his hand, curious why Lv Dong, who seemed to have a skill level at the third stage of National Martial Arts, was hiding his abilities.

"It was a scrawny woman, said she'd give her body or something, and then made me look for trouble with you. I wouldn't look at that damn woman, and in the end, I took fifty thousand from her. Didn't expect to run into you." Lv Dong laughed and said.

"Heh!" Ye Hao chuckled back, not responding further, pondered that he must find a chance to understand Lv Dong's true abilities and why he chose to hide them.

This wasn't out of sheer curiosity but rather, seeing Lv Dong wasn't all that bad, since they were just wielding blades to intimidate rather than hurt anyone. If possible, Ye Hao thought about taking him under his wing. After all, Lv Dong was a stage-three martial artist, which would be a promising addition to his side, considering he looked just twenty-five or twenty-six, despite appearing older.

"Let go, let go, what are you doing? I've paid you, now you're capturing me?" Just then, a few underlings came dragging a fierce woman from a distance. Her speech was roaring and vulgar, clearly not a pleasant sort.

"Let go of me or I'll have my husband take care of you." She barked as they brought her closer.

"Let go of me, you damn bastard."

"Boss, we brought back this bitch." The two subordinates who brought back the fierce woman seemed to have endured a lot and directly threw the fierce woman on the ground.

"Ah! How dare you throw me, I'll kill you!" The fierce woman shouted loudly in pain.

"So what if I throw you?" Lv Dong's eyes flashed with a glint, which Ye Hao saw clearly, but he didn't point it out.

"Haha brother, it's this bitch who called us here to give you trouble. What else did she say? Brother, want to interrogate her yourself?" Lv Dong said with a laugh, looking at Ye Hao.

"Hmm!" Ye Hao nodded with a smile. If others gave him face, he wouldn't respond with a cold face as if others owed him money.

"Who are you?" Ye Hao asked the fierce woman.

When the fierce woman heard someone asking her, she looked up. When she saw it was Ye Hao, she looked as if she had seen something disgusting and cursed, "It's you, you little bastard."

Ye Hao frowned, and Tan Ming immediately stepped up and slapped her hard!

"Watch your mouth, or I'll find a dog to kill you." Tan Ming said coldly.

Lin Ruyu and the other woman hid behind Ye Hao; they didn't like seeing disgusting scenes, even if it was just the disgusting things Tan Ming mentioned, they didn't want to hear it.

"You! How dare you hit me. Wait and see, you're dead. I'll call my husband, you're dead." The fierce woman was naturally Wang Yan, who had met Ye Hao in the mall last time. If not for meeting Ye Hao now, she would not have thought of this fierce woman again.

"Enough, stop calling any Tom, Dick, and Harry over here. I don't care about whatever Hao your husband is, just be smart and tell me why you're causing trouble for me!" Ye Hao looked at the woman with displeasure.

"My husband's not some Hao, he's the Deputy Director of the Western Public Security Bureau, just you wait, my husband will deal with you." Wang Yan said as she dialed the number.

After about ten minutes, a middle-aged man with a mole at the corner of his mouth arrived on the scene, bringing a few subordinates.

"Who here is oppressing this woman, come with me to the police station." The person said to everyone without any explanation.

But Ye Hao and others ignored him and instead turned to Wang Yan and asked, "Tell me, who instructed you to bother me?"

The man with a mole at the corner of his mouth saw Ye Hao ignoring him, his expression darkened, and he said to Ye Hao, "I received a report from a citizen that someone here is oppressing a woman, could it be you?"

"Husband, it's him!" Wang Yan, who was initially surrounded by Xue Zhaolong and others, hurriedly got up and rushed toward the man with a black mole when Zhaolong ignored her.

"Mind your manners." The mole man snorted.

"Haha, are you going to defend her?" Ye Hao smiled at the mole man.

"I'm not defending anyone, but since you're oppressing her, I have to take you to the station," the mole man waved his hand and said, "Take him away for me."

"Hold on!" Ye Hao looked at the mole man with disdain, then picked up his phone to call Li Yi from the Ministry of State Security, with whom he teamed up last time to eliminate Ye Lang's men.

"Hmph! You're a suspect in a crime, I have the right to prohibit you from making any calls, take his phone." The mole man's face grew more sullen seeing Ye Hao give him no face at all.

"Yes!" Said the two subordinates of the mole man, moving forward to apprehend Ye Hao.

"Bang bang!"

"Damn it, you dare to touch my boss? You're seeking death." Tan Ming, who had a fiery temper, kicked the two little policemen away.

"Hey!" Ye Hao also connected the call with Li Yi and asked for information on the Deputy Director of the Western Public Security Bureau.

After a while, Li Yi sent over the mole man's file.

"Haha! Deputy Director Chen Yidao of the Western Public Security Bureau, kept three mistresses, one of whom is Wang Yan, married to Li Susu, with a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, previously accepted bribes from XX..." Ye Hao read out the information he received on his phone one by one, and with each point, Chen Yidao's face showed a flicker of fear.

His face grew ashen, as he looked at Ye Hao with terror, fearing that Ye Hao would expose these things. If Ye Hao did, not only would he lose his deputy director position, but he would also be unable to remain a regular policeman. Corruption and keeping mistresses were enough to cost him his career.

"Stop, please stop." Chen Yidao looked at Ye Hao in panic and pleaded.

"Alright, alright, stop acting like a woman. Go back and sort out your mistresses and figure out how much you've taken in bribes and make amends, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. Now get lost!" Ye Hao looked at Chen Yidao with disdain. Chen Yidao's personal record had not been entirely bad in the past, so Ye Hao decided not to destroy him entirely, giving him a chance.

"Yes, yes! I will definitely do patriotic and civically responsible things in the future, thank you, thank you!" Chen Yidao hurriedly said and quickly left with his people, leaving a dumbfounded Wang Yan behind... (To be continued.
