A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Ding Lisheng lay on the hospital bed, surrounded by bed railings. His head, chest, and legs were all wrapped in thick gauze, and he had many tubes inserted into his body. He had an oxygen mask on his face, and his face was haggard and pale. His eyes were lifeless, and he looked extremely weak.

When the doctor inside saw Gu Feng come in, he nodded to him and said, "His condition is still not very stable, so don't talk to him for too long," before leading the nurse out.

When Ding Lisheng saw Gu Feng, he was visibly agitated and wanted to speak, but with the oxygen mask on his face, his voice was muffled and unintelligible. Gu Feng stepped forward, adjusted the oxygen mask slightly, and asked, "Uncle Ding, what do you want to say?"

"Thank...thank you," Ding Lisheng managed to squeeze out the two words with great difficulty.

"Uncle Ding, do we still need those two words between us?" Gu Feng smiled. "Take good care of yourself. We're all waiting for you to rise again."

A hard-won smile finally appeared on Ding Lisheng's face.

"Uncle Ding, do you want to see me because you have something to say to me?" Gu Feng asked.

Ding Lisheng nodded slightly and slowly uttered a few words: "Please help Hanhan, okay?"

Gu Feng paused for a moment, then murmured, "Me...help with what?"

"Her taking over my position won't be easy. And you should be the only one who can help her." Ding Lisheng managed to finish these words with great effort, and was already somewhat out of breath. Gu Feng quickly put the oxygen mask back on him.

That's life, damn it. What you least want to happen, happens to happen. Like those who gamble on illegal lotteries, they can't get their favorite numbers, while the numbers they don't want to bet on keep popping up. Getting involved with the Yihe Gang is the last thing Gu Da Guanren wants to do.

Putting aside whether Gu Feng was willing to help or not, up to this point, he knew absolutely nothing about the Yihe Gang—what it was, how many people it had, how it operated, or how it would help.

Ding Lisheng's sudden request was indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Uncle Ding, this..." Gu Feng stammered, clearly trying to figure out how to decline.

Ding Lisheng started babbling again, so Gu Feng had to stop and lift the oxygen mask off for him.

"Gu Feng, you messed with my daughter, didn't you?" Ding Lisheng said casually, almost knocking Gu Feng to the ground.

Gu Feng really wanted to say: Uncle Ding, why didn't you ask me this yesterday?

"Gu Feng, you should know that I've always had high hopes for you, and I wanted you to be my son-in-law, and even my successor. If... that woman from the secret service I hired at a high price in the hospital that day had succeeded, you would be the one to take my place now." Ding Lisheng said weakly and intermittently, and then gasped for breath.

Gu Feng's face turned pale instantly. He never dreamed that the "hospital molestation incident" was actually committed by Ding Lisheng, the person he trusted most and least wanted to doubt.

Seeing Gu Feng's sudden change in expression, Ding Lisheng struggled to speak again: "Gu Feng, I was truly utterly confused about that matter. But I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted you and Han Han to be together, and I wanted to hand over the Yihe Gang that I had worked so hard to build to you. I really..."

"Uncle Ding, take a rest, just rest!" Seeing Ding Lisheng struggling to breathe, as if he were about to suffocate, Gu Feng dared not let him continue. He quickly put the oxygen mask back on Ding's face. "Uncle, you don't need to say anything more. Gu Feng understands, understands your good intentions. Uncle... I am utterly incompetent and unworthy of your high regard!"

At this moment, Gu Feng was truly moved.

Gu Feng was an extremely intelligent person. In fact, once Ding Lisheng admitted that he was responsible for the "hospital molestation incident," there was no need for him to explain. Gu Feng had already guessed Ding Lisheng's ultimate intention.

Gu Feng firmly believed that Ding Lisheng would not harm him, nor had any reason to harm him. Therefore, in this "hospital molestation incident," he suspected everything, even his advisor, but refused to suspect Ding Lisheng.

The facts also proved that Ding Lisheng would never harm him. Even if he did orchestrate the "hospital molestation incident," it wasn't out of any malicious intent, but rather out of good intentions. It was to give him another bright future, or rather, to give him a beautiful woman, a substantial fortune, and a powerful force that would dominate the entire underworld.

Ding Lisheng inhaled oxygen for a while, and his breathing became a little easier, but his face was still as white as a corpse. But he actually gestured to Gu Feng to take off his oxygen mask.

Gu Feng was afraid that something might really happen to him, so he shook his head and refused. But in the end, he couldn't resist the stubborn Ding Lisheng and had no choice but to take it off for him.

"Gu Feng, I originally wanted to bring you into the Yihe Gang, let you adapt for a while, and then slowly help you rise to a higher position. But who would have thought that something like this would suddenly happen. I don't know when my body will recover, or even... whether I can recover at all. And the Yihe Gang has reached a point where it cannot be without a leader for even a day. There's no other way, I can only hand it over to Han Han..."

"Uncle, now that Hanhan is my woman, her affairs are naturally my affairs. But I really don't know anything about the Yihe Gang, and even if I wanted to help, I wouldn't know where to begin."

"Gu Feng, I've always had faith in you and believe that if you're willing to help, you definitely have the ability to do so."

"But... isn't there still the advisor? The advisor's abilities far surpass mine. Compared to him, the advisor is more than qualified to be my master!" Gu Feng really didn't want to get involved in this treacherous power struggle.

"Gu Feng, you don't know, a few days ago, before the incident happened, my advisor told me that he planned to retire and spend his later years in Canada."

"this……"

"Gu Feng, I'm begging you, please?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Gu Feng was completely stunned. Ding Lisheng was a powerful and influential figure, known to all as a true hero. For him to say such a thing, he would never show such weakness unless he was truly at his wit's end.

"Xiaohan is so young. She's not facing just one or two people, but twenty-one hall masters and tens of thousands of people in the entire gang. If I could, I really wouldn't want to put her in such a dangerous environment. Fortunately, the old man's money will be coming in soon. I just want you to help Xiaohan completely clean up Yihe and let it live openly and honestly. I've been a gangster my whole life, looking powerful and influential, but you don't know, I've had enough of being a rat in the street. I want Xiaohan, and all the descendants of the Ding family, to be upright and honest, to live with dignity. Gu Feng, the night I found out you spent the night in Hanhan's room, I already considered you my son-in-law, even my son. Gu Feng, Uncle..."

Ding Lisheng became so emotional that he couldn't catch his breath, and the electrocardiogram monitor started beeping alarms.

Gu Feng was startled and quickly put the oxygen mask back on him. He then immediately took out several silver needles from his needle case and swiftly inserted them into Ding Lisheng's body. After a while, Ding Lisheng's breathing finally became smooth.

Just as he was able to catch his breath, Ding Lisheng struggled to reach out and pull off the oxygen mask on his face, as if he would not give up until Gu Feng agreed.

"Uncle Ding, please calm down, please calm down!"

"A...agree...to...me!" Ding Lisheng roared hoarsely, sounding like an angry tiger struggling in its death throes.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Ding, I promise you, I promise you, alright? Stop scaring me!" Gu Feng was really frightened and felt a little embarrassed.

He had seen all sorts of people throughout history, but he had never encountered anyone like Ding Lisheng who was willing to risk his life to force women into prostitution. If this guy suddenly ran out of breath and died, he would become a sinner for all time.

Ding Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down when he saw that Gu Feng had finally agreed.

But just as things were calming down here, another disturbance started outside...
