chapter 9 What's in the package

This is simply a pipe dream!
The strength and speed of these four men far surpassed ordinary people. Even a sports champion like himself and a Sanda expert like Mason Wang couldn't last a few moves against them. How could Jonathan Ye, who appeared to be a weak student, fight against them?
"This fool, wanting to play the hero to save the damsel in distress without looking at the current situation, is really courting death!"
Mason Wang sneered. In his view, these four strapping men didn’t bother Jonathan Ye. He should have just hidden on the side. Now, stepping forward was simply seeking death.
The four men had a mocking look on their faces. Although Jonathan Ye was tall, standing at 1.85 meters, compared to Adrian Xu and Mason Wang, his physique seemed slender. How could they take him seriously?
Scarface Man narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous curve forming at the corner of his mouth, already revealing the knife in his hand.
"Kid, in my many years of murder and robbery, you are the most arrogant one I've ever met!"
"Trying to be a hero, without looking at your own capabilities, what can you do with that?"
Scarface Man sneered coldly: "Not only will we not let the people go, but I also want to make sure you can't walk out of this café, believe it or not?"
His eyes burst with murderous intent, indicating he had the intention to kill.
Aurora Xiao was anxious inside. Although she looked down on Jonathan Ye, she didn't want him to lose his life for her sake. She kept making faces at him, signaling him to find a chance to escape.
Jonathan Ye completely ignored her expressions and just smiled faintly: "Is that so? It seems you have chosen the latter!"
"Kid, in your next life, don’t pretend to be a hero. You can’t afford the price!"
Scarface Man laughed viciously, ready to move forward and attack Jonathan Ye, when suddenly he felt his wrist being gripped.
"What?"
He was shocked, turning his head, and before he knew it, Jonathan Ye had already reached his side and grabbed his wrist.
He tried to break free, but Jonathan Ye's long and pale hands were like iron clamps, making it impossible for him to move at all.
"Crack!"
With a light flick of Jonathan Ye's palm, a crisp sound was heard, followed by a scream from Scarface Man. He was thrown backward, crashing through four or five tables, instantly knocked unconscious.
This sudden change left everyone dumbfounded. No one expected that the fierce Scarface Man would be easily subdued by Jonathan Ye.
"You..."
The other three immediately realized they were dealing with a master. The two holding Aurora Xiao and Riley Li were about to approach them to threaten Jonathan Ye. At the moment they raised their hands, Jonathan Ye’s palms were already on their wrists.
"Crack!"
Two more crisp sounds, and both of their wrists were broken by Jonathan Ye. Then, with two kicks, he knocked them down beside him, clutching their stomachs and vomiting, having lost their fighting capacity.
Aurora Xiao and Riley Li were completely stunned. They felt like Jonathan Ye was a superhero who suddenly appeared in a movie, saving them from a crisis.
Adrian Xu and Mason Wang were completely dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Such fierce criminals were taken down by Jonathan Ye alone in the blink of an eye, as easy as breathing.
Jonathan Ye didn’t even glance at Aurora Xiao. He walked past her, stood in front of the last strapping man, his eyes indifferent and deep as stars.
"It's your turn now!"
The mockery on the big man's face had long disappeared, replaced by sheer terror.
He was the weakest fighter among the four, and Jonathan Ye had already put down the other three. How could he possibly be a match for Jonathan Ye?
"Bang!"
Without any extra movements, Jonathan Ye kicked out, hitting him squarely in the face. The man fell backward, bloodied and unconscious.
In just one minute, these four ferocious criminals were wiped out by Jonathan Ye alone.
Aurora Xiao's eyes flickered as she looked at Jonathan Ye, who was calmly inserting his hands into his pockets, her heart tumultuous.
Remembering her previous disdain and contempt for Jonathan Ye, and now being saved by him, she felt greatly ashamed.
Jonathan Ye, from beginning to end, never looked at her. He opened the café door, where a bunch of security guards and the arriving police had blocked the passage tightly.
"They are no longer a threat. Go in and catch them!"
With a word from Jonathan Ye, everyone was puzzled, and after a while, they tentatively entered the café, the scene inside rendering them speechless.
After making a statement at the police station, Jonathan Ye refused any reward. Aurora Xiao and Riley Li wanted to thank him, but found that Jonathan Ye had already left the police station.
Back home, Aurora Xiao was still somewhat distracted, thinking back to what happened at the café today, it still felt like a dream.
"Aurora, you're back. Where is Jonathan?"
Maya He came out of the kitchen. She had also just arrived home and saw Aurora Xiao alone, without Jonathan Ye, and felt strange.
"Jonathan Ye? He left, I guess!"
Aurora Xiao was somewhat absent-minded. She had previously strongly disliked Jonathan Ye staying in her home, but now she wanted to see him again, a very contradictory feeling.
"Left?" Maya He looked worried, "He's alone in Lu City with no one to rely on. Where would he go?"
Aurora Xiao was a bit agitated and casually replied，"Maybe he has his own place to go to. Oh, he left something for you before he left, it’s that!"
She was referring to the parchment-wrapped package left by Jonathan Ye.
Hearing that Jonathan Ye left something, Maya He immediately opened the package. Upon seeing its contents, she was first stunned, then her expression relaxed, showing a relieved smile.
"Mom, what's in it?"
Aurora Xiao turned her head curiously.
Maya He unfolded the package, revealing bundles of hundred-yuan notes, a total of ten bundles, and next to it, the thousand yuan Maya He had given to Jonathan Ye before.
Maya He put the money aside, puzzled.
The note read，"A small kindness is repaid with a spring-like bounty. I will always remember Aunt He's kindness. This is the money I'm returning to you. I'll visit again when I have a chance!"
Maya He said emotionally，"Years ago, I was lost in the mountains, and it was Jonathan who led me out of the mountains. Afterwards, I gave him ten thousand yuan as a token of gratitude, but he insisted that it was a loan and that he would return it one day. I didn't take it seriously at the time!"
"I didn't expect, after a few years, he actually came to return the money, and ten times more. Such a boy is really rare in this world!"
Hearing this, Aurora Xiao was struck by lightning, her expression completely frozen.
Aurora Xiao returned to her room, leaning on the balcony, her expression dazed.
Before, she thought Jonathan Ye was shameless, had no dignity, shamelessly ran to rely on her mother, and even shamelessly wanted to stay here. She lectured Jonathan Ye with a proud attitude, telling him he didn’t know how to be self-reliant.
Later, she even complained to her best friend Riley Li, and Riley Li even lectured Jonathan Ye.
In the end, Jonathan Ye was not here to seek help but to return money, and it was a tenfold return.
From beginning to end, Jonathan Ye never refuted a word, nor did he explain anything. Yet, he stepped forward to rescue her in her time of crisis, and she hadn't even had the chance to say a basic "thank you" yet!
Aurora Xiao slapped her forehead, never feeling as uncomfortable as she did now.
"Jonathan Ye, where did you go?"
In the evening, Jonathan Ye received a call from Zachary Wu.
"Young Master Jonathan, the most fertile land in the province that you were looking for will take some more time to select. As for the information about that girl you mentioned, we have already found it!"
