A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

After seeing off the group of hall masters and uncles, Ding Hanhan walked in from outside the door with a happy expression on her face.

Gu Feng was on the phone with someone when she came in. He vaguely heard her say to the person on the other end of the line, "...Get ready quickly, I'll let you know when the time comes...that's all." Then he hung up.

Ding Hanhan couldn't help but smile as she recalled his performance at the banquet. She walked over, snuggled into his arms, and said softly, "My guardian, you really opened my eyes tonight."

"I've seen it all myself," Gu Feng said with a wry smile. This kind of idiotic behavior is enough to do once.

"So... were the things you just said to them true or false?" Ding Hanhan asked in a soft voice.

"What are you talking about?" Gu Feng pretended to be confused.

"You said you love me, you said I'm your wife," Ding Hanhan said, her face flushed and her voice barely audible.

"Uh," Gu Feng mumbled a response. Did he love her? Did he really consider her his wife? He had spoken so confidently in front of so many people, but honestly, he couldn't answer that question now.

Ding Hanhan took his "uh" as an affirmation, her heart filled with sweetness, her eyes brimming with affection. She buried her face in his chest, her voice even lower: "Then my dear husband, let your wife serve you well tonight, okay?"

Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat. The temptation was too irresistible; he really wanted to carry her back to his room without saying a word and see how she would serve him.

But he knew perfectly well in his heart: there would be no time for just the two of them tonight.

He sighed and shook his head.

"What's wrong? Weren't you not satisfied last night?" Ding Hanhan asked softly, her brows furrowing slightly as she spoke with a woman's suspicious nature. "Did you go home today and get thoroughly pampered, even to the point of being stuffed, so you can't stomach this feast now? Or are you already bored after just one time with me?"

Gu Feng smiled helplessly and gently put his arm around her slender waist: "Miss, don't be so sensitive. I also want to go inside with you, but tonight is destined not to belong to us."

"Why?" Ding Hanhan looked at him, puzzled. In her view, the gang meeting was over, and they had successfully won the first prize, so what else could happen?

"Do you think this battle is over? This is just the prelude to tonight's fight. What's to come is far more serious than sitting here chatting and laughing. It will be a much more severe, cruel, and bloody scene." Gu Feng's expression was as serious as his words.

"I know this is just the beginning. But even if something happens, it'll be tomorrow. Nothing is more important than our intimacy, didn't you say that yourself?" Ding Hanhan winked at him.

"That's what I said. But tonight is too crucial, I really can't let my guard down." Gu Feng said, releasing her, walking to the side to pour two glasses of wine, handing one to her, and then smoothly changing the subject, "How did you feel about tonight's banquet?"

When the topic of the gang came up, Ding Hanhan's head, which had been a little dizzy from being overwhelmed by lust, gradually cleared up.

She picked up her wine and took a sip, forcing herself to calm down, before saying, "Twenty-one hall masters, aside from the personal grudges between Shen Jing and Ye Ji, seem to be on the surface all amicable. But deep down, they are all restless. When my father was alive, they were all well-behaved, but now that my father has fallen, it will be much harder than I think to get them all to obey me."

Gu Feng nodded: "As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' To subdue someone, you must first understand them thoroughly."

"Oh? It sounds like you have some brilliant ideas. Tell me about them." Ding Hanhan picked up the wine bottle and poured a little more into Gu Feng's glass.

"Since you're so eager to learn, I'll share my personal insights." Gu Feng winked at her, looking somewhat comical, before slowly saying, "Among these twenty-one hall masters, I think the most difficult to deal with aren't those who remain silent and quiet, nor those who speak harshly and sharply, but rather those who are unassuming yet most adept at stirring up trouble."

"Who are you referring to?" Ding Hanhan asked, frowning.

She suddenly realized that habits are like infectious diseases; they can be contagious.

She originally disliked frowning because people said that frowning makes women age faster, but after spending a lot of time with Gu Feng and seeing him frown every day, she unknowingly picked up the habit herself.

"Someone you're very wary of." Gu Feng said, almost emphasizing each word.

"You mean Long Tai?" Ding Hanhan immediately thought of him. Long Tai's strength and prestige within the gang were indeed what she feared most. Even when her father was in power, he had to give him some leeway.

"Not bad." Gu Feng nodded.

"Did he fan the flames? I didn't notice." Ding Hanhan's brows furrowed even more. In the struggle for power, any small oversight could be fatal.

"While you were speaking, did he casually ask, 'This banquet tonight is so important, why is the advisor nowhere to be seen?'" Gu Feng reminded her.

"Yes, I asked. But what's wrong with that? Isn't this normal?" Ding Hanhan was even more puzzled.

"Yes, it's true. A very important person didn't attend such an event, and he just casually asked a question. It might not seem like a big deal. But did you notice that when he said it, he deliberately emphasized the word 'important' and specifically mentioned the advisor's name? But after asking the question, he didn't say anything more."

"It seems...that's true. But that doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with him."

"Hehe, silly girl, that's where his cleverness lies. He lights the fire and then leaves the fanning to someone else."

Upon hearing this, Ding Hanhan seemed to suddenly realize something: "You mean, he asked that question on purpose, deliberately leaving things unsaid, so that others would unconsciously follow his line of thought, with the aim of questioning the advisor?"

"No, his goal isn't to question the advisor, but to target you; he wants to embarrass you."

"Uh..." Ding Hanhan carefully recalled this line of thought.

After asking the advisor why he hadn't come, Long Tai indeed fell silent, waiting for someone else to take over the conversation. When Lei Richao finally launched his attack, if he hadn't reacted quickly enough to come up with a reason that was difficult for others to refute, things would have ended up very badly.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down her spine. "Master Longtai... surely he wouldn't be that insidious?"

"I also hope that I'm seeing things wrong," Gu Feng said with a wry smile.
