Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Lei Lingfeng
"Brother Whistle, now that youâve done what you did to my wife, maybe you could give me a few more days?" In the middle of the night, the submissive voice of Ling Guodong came from outside the door.
"Damn, Ling Guodong, to end up in such a state as a man, youâre truly a rare specimen! For the sake of your wife, Iâll give you one more month. If you canât cough up the money by next month, things wonât be so simple!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Whistle, I understand!" Ling Guodong guaranteed, patting his chest: "I will definitely pay back the money, believe me!"
Ling Xiao cowered under the blankets, and the air was filled with a scent he greatly disliked. His own mother lay on the bed with a vacant look in her eyes, the savage treatment by a few men had caused a great blow to the womanâs body and spirit.
"Mom, are you okay?" Ling Xiao gently tugged at his motherâs hand and asked quietly.
The womanâs eyes moved slightly, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Mom, donât cry, Iâll sing a song for you! Didnât you say you loved to hear me sing?" Seeing his mother in tears, Ling Xiao panicked and began to sing, "The dark sky hangs low, bright stars accompany, insects fly, insects fly, who are you yearning for..."
His inexperienced voice trembled, and the woman couldnât bear it any longer. She hugged Ling Xiao and sobbed, "My good child, Iâm sorry! Mommyâs sorry! Donât hate your mom!"
The young Ling Xiao didnât understand the meaning behind his motherâs words, but when he woke up, he found out that after he had fallen asleep last night, his mother had jumped from the building next door.
At the time of her death, she was wearing her favorite floral dress...
...
Ling Xiao clutched his chest with reddened eyes, whispering in a voice so soft only he could hear, "Mom, Iâm sorry! Back then, I was simply too weak, I couldnât protect you! This is a lifelong pain for me! Mom, do you know? Every year at this time, I wish I could flay that man alive! But he is my father, Iâve already lost my mother, I canât lose my father too! Mom, can you forgive me?"
The events of that year made the young Ling Xiao understand that this world was a place of survival of the fittest! All morals, all reason, became insignificant in the face of absolute power.
"Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao!" At this moment, the voice of Ling Hai came from afar, and the mournful sentiment on Ling Xiaoâs face disappeared instantly, reverting back to the cold and venomous Deputy Hall Master of the United Hearts Gang!
"Whatâs the matter!" Ling Xiao demanded: "What happened?"
Ling Hai replied, "There are guests outside, didnât they say to inform you?"
"I know!" Ling Xiao said in a low voice: "Go and call father, let him get ready, Iâll go entertain the guests first!"
Upon arriving at the reception, the first batch of guests had already arrived.
"Boss Liu, Boss Zhao, welcome, welcome!" Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Your attendance at my fatherâs sixtieth birthday really graces the occasion!"
"Mr. Ling, youâre too polite!" Boss Zhao replied with a chuckle: "Mr. Ling, youâre young and promising, the skyâs the limit for you in the future, and we old folks just want to get closer on this occasion!"
"Boss Zhao, you flatter me!" Ling Xiao smiled and said: "This way, please!"
"Younger Brother Ling, congratulations!" A rotund man approached, handing over a gift as he spoke.
"Director Qin, your presence is an honor for me, why bring a gift?"
"I canât say that, today is the old gentlemanâs sixtieth birthday, Iâm here for a bit of good fortune, it wouldnât be proper to come empty-handed!"
...
As the time drew near, the rest of the guests also arrived one by one, and Ling Xiao calmly greeted each of them, getting all the guests settled.
Although not all the attendees were extremely wealthy and esteemed, they each had achieved some success in life! They were either some kind of boss, or director, or secretary, and so on.
After all, they were all keenly aware of Ling Xiaoâs identity, and the saying goes: itâs better to offend a gentleman than a villain! Furthermore, the United Hearts Gang is a gang, the worst of the worst!

Being only twenty-three years old and already the Deputy Hall Master of the United Hearts Gang, Ling Xiaoâs future accomplishments were boundless! It was always better to lend a hand during difficult times than to add flowers to the brocade once he made it big!
As for Ling Guodong in the chairmanâs seat, no one really cared about him, just as Ling Xiao said, he was nothing more than a mascot!
"Have all the guests arrived?" Ling Xiao looked at the guest sign-in area and asked.
"Thereâs one person who hasnât come yet!"
"Ling Feng?"
"Right!"
Ling Xiao frowned. He had thought Ling Feng would come, but it seemed like he wasnât willing to give face!
Forget it, after all, the intention was to take the opportunity to give him a bit of a warning. Since he didnât come, he had at least given an explanation to big brother.
"Ling Xiao, how come you didnât tell me about such a big event?" At this time, several cars arrived outside Qingshui Villa, and a few men with unique demeanors stepped out.
Ling Xiaoâs body trembled, then he said with a smile, "Ah, I didnât expect the Gang Leader to come today. I apologize for not greeting you from farther awayâit really is a great oversight!"
"What oversight!" The man in the middle laughed heartily, "Iâm here uninvited to mooch a meal; Iâd be happy as long as you donât kick me out!"
Ling Xiao replied with a bitter smile, "Gang Leader, what are you saying? I just didnât expect you would come! After all, with so many affairs within the gang, this small matter of mine is really..."
"Hey, the old manâs sixtieth birthday is no trivial matter!" The United Hearts Gang Leader said with a smile, "What, have you become a stranger to me since joining the United Hearts Gang?"
"Gang Leader, I..."
"Today, Iâm here to attend the old manâs birthday celebration. What should you call me?"
Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiaoâs face broke into a smile, "Big Brother Lei, hello! Welcome to my fatherâs birthday banquet!"
Lei Lingfeng, the Gang Leader of the United Hearts Gang, was one of the giants of the Yanjing Underground World!
Several years ago, Lei Lingfeng was ambushed by his enemies, and the experts by his side were nearly all slain or injured, while he himself suffered severe wounds. That rainy night, it was Ling Xiao who carried him back to his home, where Lei Lingfengâs body recovered in Ling Xiaoâs small room.
He had originally wanted to teach Ling Xiao Kung Fu, but Ling Xiaoâs bones had already set, leaving no hope. After confessing his own identity, Ling Xiao made a requestâhe wanted to join the United Hearts Gang!
Lei Lingfeng naturally wouldnât neglect his little savior, so he accepted Ling Xiao into the United Hearts Gang. Initially, he just intended to give Ling Xiao a stroke of good fortune. However, unexpectedly, Ling Xiao displayed an extremely strong talent within the gang!
In just a few short years, he climbed from a small team leader to the position of Deputy Hall Master! If it wasnât for insufficient seniority, he could even have been promoted to Hall Master!
"Mr. Lei Lingfeng, Chairman of the United Hearts Group, has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, all the guests in attendance were astounded!
They naturally knew who Lei Lingfeng was and what kind of status he held in Yanjing!
"My God, I canât believe Lei Lingfeng actually came in person!"
"A golden scaled dragon is not part of the shallows, it seems Ling Xiaoâs future is indeed bright!"
"Lei Lingfeng, now thatâs a truly influential figure!"
