A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

When Suman made the call, Abu's Bentley had already driven out of Portland Street.

Even if Gu Feng had the best hearing, he couldn't possibly have heard what she said. Otherwise, even if the Ding family had a beautiful woman offering herself with gold and diamonds, he would never have gone.

The car entered the Ding family villa, and Abu led him into a hall decorated in a very Western classical style.

European-style columns, Roman moldings, English clocks, Indian ivory carvings, vintage fireplaces, and mahogany tables—the design is both rustic and elegant, yet luxurious and grand, revealing the taste and personality of a modern aristocratic family.

Fifteen chairs were placed on each side of the long mahogany table, with one main seat at each end.

The servants are serving up a variety of delicious dishes that look and smell wonderful.

Ding Hanhan, dressed in an elegant black evening gown and exuding an air of maturity and aloofness, stood indifferently to the side, watching the servants busily and nervously prepare for the banquet.

At this moment, Ding Hanhan seemed like a completely different person.

The arrogance and domineering nature that once characterized the eldest daughter of the Ding family had vanished completely. Her eyebrows were delicately arched, her beautiful eyes held a hint of authority, and her thin pink lips were tightly pursed, exuding a noble and unapproachable air, revealing the unmistakable dignity of someone in a superior position.

The black evening gown had a neckline that was just right—neither too extravagant nor too conservative—exuding a sexy and aloof charm with a touch of noble solemnity, making her delicate face appear even more radiant and beautiful.

Coupled with the deliberately radiant aura of authority and those eyes that exuded a faint chill and sharp edge, Gu Feng was momentarily stunned.

Is this... still the same Miss Ding who used to be so fierce and aggressive towards me, but last night was all tenderness and affection?

At this moment, Gu Feng had a strange feeling—as if she was born to be this way, a noble empress who should rule everything, have absolute power, and overturn all living beings.

Ding Hanhan stood there, exuding elegance and charm.

Compared to her, Gu Feng, dressed in cheap jeans and a T-shirt, looked particularly shabby.

Standing together, no one thought they were a good match. Even Abu didn't think they were a perfect couple; they looked more like a toad standing next to a swan.

If you were to say they were a couple, then in the eyes of others, they would be a modern-day Cinderella and Prince Charming—except that the one playing Cinderella is not Ding Hanhan, but Gu Feng.

No matter what others think, no matter how different their clothes are or how different their statuses are, they are a couple.

Even if Ding Hanhan is truly a swan, she is a swan that has been ridden by Gu Feng, this toad.

So at this moment, Gu Feng was open and composed. He slowly walked up to Ding Hanhan and simply said, "I'm here."

Lost in thought, Ding Hanhan heard his voice, looked up, and a light flashed in her eyes—a light of joy, excitement, and comfort.

It was as if she had found a pillar of support the moment Gu Feng arrived.

A rare smile finally appeared on that icy face.

She took his hand and slowly walked out of the hall into a room next door.

The moment the door closed, Ding Hanhan, who had been aloof and domineering just a second ago, nestled into Gu Feng's arms like a little bird.

On that usually cold face, besides tenderness, there was also a barely concealed fear: "I'm so nervous. They'll be here soon."

It turns out that Ding Hanhan's calmness and composure were all an act.

"Don't be nervous. They may be gangsters, but they're not monsters. They can't eat you. Besides, no matter what, I'm here with you, aren't I?" Gu Feng gently hugged her waist with concern.

These things shouldn't have been hers to bear.

"Yes, thank you for coming. Now, you're the only one by my side." Ding Hanhan leaned softly against the man's chest, feeling a sense of security.

"Time's almost up. How do you feel about your preparation?" Gu Feng asked softly.

"I'm somewhat prepared, but I'm still very nervous. I really have no experience with this kind of thing," Ding Hanhan said, still worried.

"It's alright. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. You had no experience with what we did last night, but you still did a great job." Gu Feng gently stroked her waist.

Mentioning last night's outrageous behavior, Ding Hanhan's face flushed slightly, and she gave him a reproachful glare: "How can last night's events compare to tonight's? Besides, wasn't it you, a seasoned lecher, who led me last night?"

"Hehe, don't worry then, I'll still take you with me tonight." Gu Feng chuckled, then his expression turned serious. "There's still some time, I think..."

"What...do you want?" Ding Hanhan's face turned even redder.

"Hehe, you call me a pervert, but aren't you even more of a pervert yourself?" Gu Feng flicked her nose with his finger, teasing her for a moment before speaking seriously, "What are you thinking? I mean, while we still have time, let's analyze the situation properly."

"You're so mean, teasing people at a time like this!" Ding Hanhan scolded playfully, unable to contain her embarrassment.

Her alluring and seductive appearance made Gu Feng's heart itch!

"Shall we analyze this now? I'm really worried that they'll all jump out and oppose me."

When it came to this serious topic, Gu Feng had no choice but to put aside his quirky thoughts. "Alright, let's sort it out now."

"Go ahead, I'm listening." Ding Hanhan looked at him earnestly.

"You are Ding Lisheng's daughter. Your father wants to pass on the Yihe Gang business to you; that's his intention. But have you ever considered that your father treats the Yihe Gang as his own family business? Do your uncles and the twenty hall masters think the same way?" Gu Feng asked.

Ding Hanhan couldn't answer that question.

The answer lies only in the hearts of those uncles and patriarchs themselves.

"Okay, even if we take a step back and assume that the Yihe Gang was truly built up by your father, everyone accepts that the Yihe Gang belongs to the Ding family, and it's only natural for a son to inherit his father's business. But have you ever considered that you are not a son, but a daughter?"

"What happened to the woman?" Ding Hanhan's face instantly turned cold. In the past, she would probably have been furious.

"Calm down and let me finish. Nowadays, gender equality is advocated, and many strong women have emerged in all walks of life. But what you're about to do isn't an ordinary business; it's shady dealing. In this line of work, women are usually the weaker sex. And don't forget, the Yihe Gang is almost entirely made up of men. Moreover, you're not only a woman, but also a mere twenty-year-old girl. You haven't accomplished anything, you haven't built anything, and just because you're Ding Lisheng's daughter, you think you can ride roughshod over a bunch of grown men—that's clearly not enough. No one would accept that."

Ding Hanhan's sharp eyes darkened, and she said helplessly, "I've thought about that too. But I'm confident I can win them over."

"Yes, you have confidence, and I have confidence in you too."

In truth, Gu Feng didn't have much confidence in her, but he was very confident in himself. He was just saying this because he didn't want to discourage her at this critical juncture.

He continued, "But have you ever thought about it? Conquest takes time, it requires planning, manpower and resources, and even more so, wisdom and courage."

"Well... there are still three months until the next accounting deadline, aren't there?" Ding Hanhan asked back.

"Fine, even if you have the time advantage, what about the rest? Do you have those too?" Gu Feng pressed on relentlessly.

"I..." Ding Hanhan couldn't answer.

"Don't rush, let's go through it one step at a time. You already have some time. I believe you have plenty of wisdom and courage. You also have resources, which, broadly speaking, are money. What you lack most is manpower."

"Actually, there's something you don't know. Father has secretly set up a secret organization, whose strength is no less than any other organization, and whose loyalty is beyond question. Besides, don't I also have a group of loyal rich second-generation fans?"

"Oh, then everything is ready except for the final push."

"But what about a plan? We need a comprehensive and solid plan."

"Plans can't keep up with changes, and besides, there's no time to think about it now." Gu Feng pointed to the clock.

Ding Hanhan looked over—it would be eight o'clock in twenty minutes—and could only helplessly shrug: "We can talk about the plan later. Just tell me how I'm going to deal with them tonight, okay?"

Gu Feng smiled and snapped his fingers: "I don't have a long-term plan yet, but I've already thought of how to deal with tonight's situation."

"Speak quickly."

"Does your father mean for you to take over the Yihe Gang directly, and announce your succession tonight?"

"Yes." Ding Hanhan nodded.

"I have to say, your father sometimes does lack common sense when it comes to thinking things through," Gu Feng sighed.

"You—" Ding Hanhan's forehead creased with annoyance.

Before she could react, Gu Feng immediately retorted, "Do you think this is a reliable approach? You just decide to go ahead and do it without any preparation from others. Do you think they'll let you?"

"Then you still slept with me!" Ding Hanhan muttered in a gruff voice.

Gu Feng broke out in a cold sweat, coughed lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Be serious, be serious. I meant 'up,' not that kind of 'up,' okay? And let me tell you, the moment you announce it, someone on the other side will slam their fist on the table and leave. Those who don't leave might not truly submit to you. At that point, you'll be completely isolated. It will be extremely difficult to win them over later."

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"I used to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, which emphasizes treating the root cause. These days I've started seeing Western doctors and found that Western medicine mostly focuses on treating the symptoms..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop! I'm asking you what to do, who has time to listen to your ramblings about traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine?" Ding Hanhan said impatiently.

Gu Feng sighed helplessly and reached out to tap her delicate head: "You should change your temperament. What I mean by 'crossing the Chencang pass secretly' is the approach of Western medicine—stabilize the symptoms first, and then treat the cause of the disease."

Ding Hanhan was completely confused and shook her head vigorously: "I don't understand."

"If you announce your succession tonight, it's like traditional Chinese medicine treating the root cause, taking on all the pressure at once. But you simply can't handle that pressure; you don't even have a chance to catch your breath. Western medicine, on the other hand, treats the symptoms first—stop the pain if there's pain, bring down the fever if there's a fever, temporarily relieve the pressure in front of you, and then slowly deal with the root cause."

"This..." Ding Hanhan pondered Gu Feng's words, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "I understand. You mean, we should find a compromise to keep these big shots calm for now, and then take them down one by one."

"Hehe, it seems you may not be lacking in brains, but you're not without brains after all." Gu Feng praised him greatly. His long-winded speech had finally paid off.

"That's..." Ding Hanhan was about to laugh smugly when she suddenly realized what she meant. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her voice rose eight octaves, "What did you say?"

"Uh, I was just saying my woman is very smart."

"Hmph, that's more like it. Let's go, they should be here soon."

"Have you thought about what you're going to say later?"

"You've poked my forehead so many times already. If I still don't get it, not only will you look down on me, but I'll look down on myself too."

"Oh? So what are you planning to say later?"

"You want to know?" Ding Hanhan's face revealed a strange smile, looking mysterious.

"Yes, I do."

"Then bring your ear closer." Ding Hanhan stretched out her slender, jade-white fingers and beckoned to him.

Gu Feng obediently brought his ear closer.

Ding Hanhan parted her pink lips slightly, but said nothing. She simply stuck out her delicate tongue and gently licked his earlobe. Taking advantage of his trembling, she bit his earlobe hard, then giggled and, like a fairy, opened the door and left.

Gu Feng stood there stunned for a while before he came to his senses—it seemed that he had been teased by this woman.
