A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

"A petty person is no gentleman, and a ruthless person is no true man. Whoever blocks my way, I will eliminate them. What's so insidious about that? Miss, if you were me, you would probably do the same, right?" Long Tai laughed arrogantly, looking like a smug little man.

Ding Hanhan felt utterly disgusted by his attitude and turned her head away, refusing to look at him again.

But when his gaze swept over the faces at the very front of the encirclement, he couldn't help but freeze.

Those faces were so familiar.

Upon recognizing the group, her already cold and beautiful face tightened even more instantly. Her teeth clenched so tightly they cracked, and her eyes flashed with a razor-sharp coldness as she stared directly at them: "Hall Master Wang Han, Hall Master Zhang Santao, Hall Master Qiu Qianli, how are you? You're all so kind."

A lackey is always a lackey.

Although Wang Han, Zhang Santao, Qiu Qianli, and others conspired with Long Tai, they could never be as unscrupulous as him.

Faced with Ding Hanhan's icy gaze, no one could remain calm. Instead, their eyes darted around nervously, and they kept looking away.

"Young Miss..." Zhang Santao couldn't hold back any longer and called out awkwardly.

"Hall Master Zhang, Hall Master Wang, Hall Master Qiu, I, Ding Hanhan, only ask you one question now—do you really want to join forces with this traitor Long Tai to rebel against me, against my father, and against the entire Yihe?" Ding Hanhan's gaze was like two sharp knives, fiercely piercing the three of them.

"We, we don't either..." Wang Han and the other two stammered, unable to speak coherently.

"Fine. I don't care whether you were forced or willing. Now, I'm giving you one last chance. If you capture this traitor Long Tai, I, Ding Hanhan, will forgive and forget, and guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and honor!" Ding Hanhan raised his hand and pointed directly at Long Tai, coldly shouting at the hall masters.

Long Tai stood with his hands behind his back, looking completely unconcerned, showing no intention of interrupting.

Wang Han and the other two looked at each other, glancing at Long Tai and then at Ding Hanhan. Their mouths moved, but they ultimately didn't utter a single word.

"Fine, very well. I gave you the chance, but you didn't take it. You chose not to pursue a lifetime of wealth and honor, but instead chose to gamble with your whole family's ruin. From now on, don't blame me, Ding Hanhan, for being ruthless." Ding Hanhan's face was expressionless, and her words were as cold as ice.

"Heh, Ding Hanhan, you're still spouting such harsh words at a time like this. Don't you find it laughable? I advise you to save your breath. Since they dared to start a rebellion with me, do you think they have any way out? Tonight, if we take you and the advisor down, the Yihe Gang will be ours. As for your incapable father, dealing with him will be easier than crushing an ant for us."

Long Tai sneered repeatedly. In his view, Ding Hanhan's words were nothing more than a desperate struggle.

Ding Hanhan fell silent, no longer even glancing at the three hall masters who had chilled her heart, instead casting her gaze far into the distance at the sea.

Long Tai followed her gaze and saw nothing but darkness.

He couldn't help but scoff inwardly: At a time like this, you still have the mind to admire the scenery? Do you think you'll see the sun rise tomorrow?

"Bald guy!" Long Tai shouted in a deep voice.

"Your subordinate is here!" The bald man standing next to the several hall masters immediately stepped forward.

"Give me the Four Heavenly Kings," Long Tai ordered.

"Yes." The bald man waved his hand, and the men on his left and right immediately drew their weapons, the dark muzzles of their guns all aimed at the Four Heavenly Kings.

There was no need to lift a finger; the Four Heavenly Kings were already under control.

Those were real weapons. Accustomed to knives and clubs, they had no chance to struggle at all, not to mention that there were so many dark people surrounding them, who could turn them into sieves at any moment.

Resisting is just throwing your life away.

The four henchmen were taken away.

In the vast open space, Ding Hanhan was all alone, surrounded in the middle, looking frail and helpless.

But she still kept her back straight, displaying an air of composure that remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before her.

"Heh, the Four Protectors? Bah, what are they? No matter how fast your hands and feet are, can they be faster than a bullet? No matter how good you are at fighting, can you withstand a bullet?" Long Tai laughed sarcastically, stepped forward, and reached out to touch Ding Hanhan's face, swearing, "Oh, little wench, you've got some backbone. You're still not scared even at this point. You really have a bit of your dead father's looks."

"Pah!" Ding Hanhan suddenly turned her head and shook off his hand, spitting a mouthful of saliva directly in his face.

"Haha!" Long Tai laughed instead of getting angry. He even stuck out his tongue and licked the saliva that had splashed around his mouth clean. He smacked his lips and said, "Sweet, really sweet. Tonight I'll have a good taste and see just how spicy this little chili pepper is. After I've tasted it, I'll let the brothers see what the Dragon Head's daughter is like."

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. Zhang Santao couldn't bear it any longer and finally spoke up: "Boss Long, just send her on her way, there's no need to make such a fuss."

"Yes, things can get complicated if we wait too long. It's best to cut things off quickly," Wang Han quickly chimed in.

Qiu Qianli's lips moved, but what he wanted to say was: "Boss Long, you go first, I'll go second. The Dragon Head's daughter, I've never touched anything so precious in my life."

Before he could finish speaking, Long Tai suddenly turned his head and swept his cold gaze over him. His throat tightened, and he quickly swallowed his words back.

Long Tai glanced at the three hall masters, then looked at his subordinates around him, and suddenly realized something.

That's right, now is the time to act decisively and decisively, not to indulge in personal desires.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, in order to sit firmly in that chair, he had to suppress his thoughts, let out a long sigh, and shouted, "Baldy!"

"Your subordinate is here." The bald man immediately stepped forward.

Long Tai remained silent with a sullen face, only extending his hand.

The bald man understood what he meant—he wanted a guy.

He hesitated for a moment, but eventually took something out of his pocket and handed it to Long Tai.

Long Tai took it and placed it directly on Ding Hanhan's head, saying in a sinister voice, "Ding Hanhan, don't blame me. Blame your useless father. If he hadn't insisted on pushing you into this position to block my way, I wouldn't have done this to you."

"Long Tai, drop your hypocritical act and make your move." Ding Hanhan raised her head, showing no fear.

"Ding Hanhan, I'm really growing more and more fond of you. If you weren't Ding Lisheng's daughter, I would have gotten my hands on you no matter what. But right now, there's no way around it, you have to disappear." After saying that, Long Tai pressed the button without hesitation.

Among the crowd, a few timid people, or those who often saw Ding Hanhan, couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.

The fact that the daughter of the dragon chief died right before their eyes was something they definitely didn't want to see.

But these are things they have no control over.

"Bang!"—This was the muffled sound everyone expected and was waiting for. However, it didn't happen.

It was very strange. Long Tai knocked several times, but only empty "click-click" sounds came out. Ding Hanhan was unharmed and still stood proudly upright.

Is it stuck? Longtai tried to click it several more times with a fierce look, but it still only produced that hollow "click" sound.

"Baldy, what are you doing!" Long Tai, enraged, threw the object at the bald man.

The bald man swiftly caught it, his face showing a wronged and innocent expression: "Master Long, I didn't do anything."

Long Tai was so angry at his brainless subordinate that he wanted to rush up and beat him up.

But then he thought about it again. He was about to become the leader, a person of such high status. How could he still act like a street thug and make unwanted advances? He could only suppress his anger and shout sternly, "What kind of junk did you buy? Get me a replacement!"

The bald man curled his lip and threw another item over.

Long Tai caught it, raised it without hesitation, and swung it at Ding Hanhan several more times.

"Click, click—" The sound missed its target repeatedly, leaving only empty echoes.

"Damn it! What's going on? What kind of trash did you get?!" Long Tai finally flew into a rage and roared at the bald man.

"Master Long, the stuff is definitely good stuff. It's just—" the bald man said calmly, "I didn't put anything in it."

"Then hurry up..." Long Tai opened his mouth to shout, but stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

He finally realized that he had been made a fool of.

But he still refused to believe that the bald man he had personally trained and who was as obedient as a dog had actually dared to play him.

He stared intently at the bald man, his voice forced out through clenched teeth: "Baldy, what do you mean?"

The bald man glanced at him indifferently and remained silent.

The roaring sounds coming from the outside provided the answer for him.

Countless engine roars, like muffled thunder or an earthquake, suddenly exploded from all directions.
