A moment later, Ding Yao looked up with an apologetic smile on her face: "Young Master Lei, I appreciate your kindness. But I'm on my period today and I'm feeling a bit unwell. I just want to go home and rest as soon as possible. I'm really sorry, please forgive me. I'll definitely spend some time with you another day."

Lei Fuhong's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his smile: "Since Sister Ding is not feeling well, let's talk about it another day. You should go back and rest early and take care of yourself."

After politely saying goodbye, Ding Yao got up and left.

As he watched her leave, Lei Fuhong's expression changed drastically, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, "Ding Yao, you dare to refuse me? Fine, one day I'll make you obediently submit to me!"

Ding Yao stepped out of the nightclub in her high heels, the cool night breeze gently caressing her hair.

She closed her eyes slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to herself, "Su Zhe, I have chosen to give you my whole heart and soul, and I will never sacrifice my dignity for anyone else again. Let this storm rage on, I am ready!"

Ding Yao, wearing high heels, gracefully sat in the back seat and instructed the driver, "Take me home."

With the car's air conditioning set to a comfortable temperature, Ding Yao leaned back comfortably in her seat, gently resting her right hand on her cheek, gazing blankly at the fleeting night view outside the window.

She knew that Lei Fuhong must be unhappy about her rejection of his invitation.

Based on her observations of Lei Fuhong over this period of time, this young man who took over the power of the Sanlian Gang was wicked, opportunistic, ambitious, and arrogant.

Being rejected by a woman was an absolute disgrace to him.

Now that Lei Fuhong holds great power, it would be incredibly easy for him to take revenge on me.

Although Su Zhe's words seemed to indicate that he had already made arrangements to deal with Lei Fuhong, it was too late to solve the immediate problem.

If Lei Fuhong were to suddenly decide to harm him, how would Su Zhe anticipate his enemy's actions from afar?

Ding Yao frowned slightly. She understood that she had to make two preparations in advance in order to face the possible attack from Lei Fuhong at any time.

She decided to meet with several key figures within the Sanlian Gang to discuss countermeasures.

The dim light inside the car shone on Ding Yao's delicate profile, outlining her sexy curves.

She pondered her options intently, her red lips slightly parted, her eyes revealing determination and resolve—

This is a strong woman who has been fighting in the underworld for many years and has long since thrown away her weakness.

No one should underestimate her; she has the strength to protect herself.

What finally made her decide was that someone had already taken a place in her heart...

Thinking about this, Ding Yao frowned deeply and quickly made a decision.

She said to the driver, "Help me change lanes to get to Xuri Restaurant, I have urgent business to attend to."

The driver replied, "Okay, Sister Ding, I'll change course immediately."

Under Ding Yao's instructions, the luxury car quickly turned around and drove towards the Xuri Restaurant.

Ding Yao took out her phone from her bag, opened her contacts, and found the phone numbers of several elders in the Sanlian Gang.

She knew that to counterbalance Lei Fuhong, she had to form an alliance with influential figures in the Sanlian Gang.

Ding Yao first dialed Leopard's number. Leopard was the most senior elder in the Sanlian Gang. In his early years, he fought alongside Zhongyongbo and laid the foundation for the Sanlian Gang's empire.

Now that Lord Zhongyong is gone, Lord Leopard has become the most prestigious figure in the Sanlian Gang.

Chapter 165 Emergency Meeting! The Entire Gang is Shocked!

The call was answered quickly.

Ding Yao said briefly, "Master Leopard, it's me, Ding Yao. Are you free now? I'm waiting for you at the Sunrise Restaurant. I have something important I'd like to discuss with you privately."

"Ding Yao? What's the matter so late? Can't you tell me tomorrow?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of doubt.

"Master Leopard, I need to discuss a matter of life and death! The situation is urgent, and delay could lead to unforeseen changes. I've also arranged to meet with several other elders at the Rising Sun Restaurant to discuss this further!"

After a moment's thought, Leopard said, "Okay, I understand. Go to the restaurant and wait for me. I'll be there soon."

Ding Yao put down the phone and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Leopard didn't ask any further questions, which showed that he had also noticed something was wrong.

Next, Ding Yao called several influential elders in the Sanlian Gang, including Lao Pao, Fei Gou, and San Yanming, and after repeating what she had said to Leopard, invited them to come to the Xuri Restaurant for an emergency meeting.

When the elders heard Ding Yao's call, none of them asked why; they simply said they understood or would arrive as soon as possible.

Ding Yao hung up the last 467 call and silently calculated in her mind that she hoped to gather six or seven key people. If she could persuade two-thirds of them, it would be enough to keep Lei Fuhong in check.

Before long, the luxury car arrived at the Sunrise Restaurant.

Ding Yao walked gracefully into the restaurant lobby in her high heels, and the waiter immediately led her respectfully to a private room upstairs.

Ding Yao sat alone in the private room, ordering a pot of champagne and several plates of snacks to entertain her guest.

Then she frowned, crossed her hands on the table, and waited for the attendees to arrive.

About ten minutes later, a waiter from the restaurant knocked on the door to announce that Master Leopard had arrived.

"Please welcome Mr. Leopard, have a seat!" Ding Yao said calmly.

Leopard pushed open the door and entered. He was over sixty years old, but still full of energy. He nodded slightly when he saw Ding Yao: "Good evening, Miss Ding. Is there something important that you asked me to come here so suddenly?"

"Please have a seat, Mr. Leopard. I will explain in detail once the others have arrived."

Ding Yao poured champagne for Leopard and said with a smile.

Leopard nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more questions.

Over the next half hour, several leaders of the Sanlian Gang, whom Ding Yao had invited, arrived one after another.

They were Lao Pao, Fei Gou, San Yanming, and two other hall masters who had a good relationship with Ding Yao.

Ding Yao poured champagne for them one by one, and then, after everyone had arrived, she spoke seriously:

"Uncles, thank you for coming. I invited you all here because I have something that is crucial to the future of the Sanlian Gang."

Everyone tensed up upon hearing this, waiting for Ding Yao to continue.

Ding Yao pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "I think everyone has seen the news. It is truly heartbreaking that three seniors, Zhongyongbo, Bai Mei, and Uncle Wang, have been murdered one after another."

"Yes, how could our Sanlian Gang have fallen to this state? It's truly heartbreaking!" Leopard slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his face full of sorrow.

The others also stood up, each with a look of grief and indignation.

Ding Yao said in a deep voice, "We, every member of the Sanlian Gang, are eternally grateful to our three predecessors for establishing their empire. Now that they have suddenly passed away, we must find the real culprit and avenge them!"

"That's right!"

"We must avenge our three predecessors!"

Everyone agreed.

Ding Yao slowly said, "According to my private investigation, these three murders are very likely the work of the same killer. And this killer is within our Sanlian Gang."

For a moment, everyone gasped in shock, their faces changing drastically.

"What?! The murderer is inside our Triad?" Leopard's expression was shocked.

"This is terrifying. Could there be a rat hiding in our Triad?" Old Pao's face also darkened.

The crowd looked at each other, utterly shocked.

Ding Yao calmly said, "That's right, I have reason to suspect that the mastermind behind these three murders is very likely Lei Fuhong."

"what?!"

Everyone was once again stunned and incredulous.

"Lei Fuhong? How could he possibly be!"

"Miss Ding, your words are of mixed nature; what makes you say that?"

"I asked in a deep voice."

Everyone else looked on with suspicion and disbelief.

Ding Yao sighed: "Everyone, we all know very well that Uncle Zhongyong has always opposed Lei Fuhong succeeding as the leader of the Sanlian Gang. However, as soon as Uncle Zhongyong passed away, Lei Fuhong quickly took over the position."

"Considering the timing of these three murders and the sudden return of Lei Fuhong from the United States to Hong Kong, there are too many suspicious points."

Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this; indeed, Ding Yao's analysis made sense.

"and……"

Ding Yao added, "I also discovered that Lei Fuhong recently summoned several unidentified foreign men from the United States. According to my private investigation, these men are very likely the murderers who carried out the murders."

“Lei Fuhong has now completely controlled most of the Sanlian Gang’s resources. He has a large army and it would be easy for him to eliminate us old guys. If we continue to sit idly by, I’m afraid an even bigger bloodbath could come at any time.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, their faces turning deathly pale.

"My God, how could this happen!"

"We've raised a complete ingrate!"

"Hmph! That Lei Fuhong is a real scoundrel! I even supported him so much to become the leader!"

Chapter 166 Wolfish Ambitions!

Ding Yao remained silent for a moment, her face filled with grief, before slowly speaking, "Everyone, I know that most of you have watched Lei Fuhong grow up and treated him like your own son, but you never expected that Lei Fuhong would be so treacherous and ambitious!"

"The three elders merely questioned his abilities as the leader, and he secretly eliminated him!"

Ding Yao said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that we old folks will likely end up like Marquis Zhongyong and the others, and sooner or later we'll be eliminated by him as dissidents!"
