Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Long Time No See
Upon seeing Lei Lingfeng walking over, Ling Guodong grew somewhat restless. He had never imagined that the leader of the United Hearts Gang would actually come to celebrate his birthday!
"This..." Ling Guodong stood up, his face turning red, not knowing what to say!
Lei Lingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Old man, today is your sixtieth birthday. We from the United Hearts Group have come specifically to celebrate. We thank you for cultivating such an outstanding talent like Ling Xiao for our United Hearts Group!"
"Not at all, not at all!" Ling Guodong, rubbing his hands, said somewhat sheepishly, "Itâs all Ling Xiaoâs own hard work!"
Lei Lingfeng beckoned, "Come, bring up the Birthday Peach Iâve prepared for the old man!"
Under the amazed gaze of everyone, two men brought over a tray with a Birthday Peach made of pure gold on top.
"Just this Birthday Peach must be worth a million!" someone recognized the value of the peach and couldnât help but exclaim.
Ling Xiao was also surprised, "Big Brother Lei, this gift is really too generous; we canât accept it!"
By now, excitement shone in Ling Guodongâs eyes; such a large pure gold Birthday Peach, how much could it sell for!
Lei Lingfeng laughed heartily, "Itâs nothing, it didnât cost me much! Someone else gave this to me, and since I had no use for it, I had it made into this Birthday Peach, like offering Buddha a borrowed flower, to celebrate the old manâs birthday!"
Ling Xiao was still prepared to refuse, but Lei Lingfeng said indifferently, "Ling Xiao, although you are now under my command, I have always treated you like my brother, so donât refuse!"
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then let someone take it away, "Big Brother Lei, I will remember this kindness!"
Ling Xiao was very aware that, by saying these words in this setting, Lei Lingfeng was essentially telling everyone that his relationship with Ling Xiao was incredibly close! This would have unimaginable benefits for Ling Xiaoâs future development!
"We are all family; no need for thanks or talk of favors!" Lei Lingfeng chuckled and said, "Alright, I wonât steal the spotlight any longer!"
Having said this, Lei Lingfeng, with his subordinates, casually found a table and sat down.
...
"So Qingshui Villa is here!" Ling Feng checked the time; he was already late, but it couldnât be helped, the taxi broke down halfway, and for the rest of the way, Ling Feng had no choice but to walk.
"It seems Ling Xiao is doing well for himself!" Looking at the grand villa, a slight smile appeared on Ling Fengâs lips as he made his way inside.
Meanwhile, inside the villa, cups were clinking and everyone was drinking merrily; the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
Especially when everyone saw how Lei Lingfeng treated Ling Xiao, they grew even more affectionate towards Ling Xiao.
Probably, among all people, only Ling Hai was feeling uneasy! Because Ling Feng hadnât shown up, it meant that his body couldnât be healed, and so many young and beautiful girls were still waiting for his affection!
The security outside quickly walked over to Ling Xiao and whispered a few words in his ear, after which Ling Xiaoâs face showed a look of relief.
Although he was late, Ling Feng had finally arrived!
"Everyone, quiet down a moment!" Ling Xiao clapped his hands, then said loudly, "Today is my fatherâs sixtieth birthday, and I also have some great news to announce to everyone! My cousin Ling Feng, who went missing for fifteen years, has also come to my fatherâs birthday feast today!"
Ling Xiaoâs cousin? Some of the more knowledgeable guests were stirred by this news. It was said that Ling Guodong had a younger brother named Ling Guoliang, a famous biology professor at Yan University, who unfortunately passed away while attending an international conference abroad fifteen years ago. Could this be Ling Guoliangâs son?
As everyone looked on with curiosity, the figure of Ling Feng appeared. He was casually dressed and holding two wrinkled peaches in his hand.
As soon as he entered, Ling Feng took in all the surroundings at a glance, but among the group, Ling Feng spotted a bunch of skilled fighters! Among these fighters, Ling Feng actually recognized a familiar faceâit was Situ Wushui, whom he had personally defeated!
"It seems Ling Xiao has a high status in the United Hearts Gang, even Situ Wushui is here. And the one sitting in the middle of that group, could that be the Gang Leader of the United Hearts Gang?"
When Ling Xiao saw Ling Feng come in, he stood up and warmly beckoned, "Cousin Ling Feng, over here!"
Ling Feng walked over with a beaming smile and handed over the peaches, "I was in a rush and didnât prepare much. I bought two peaches on the road. Uncle wonât be disappointed, right?"
Ling Guodongâs face twitched, and he said with a forced smile, "Iâm happy just to have my nephew here! But I must say, youâve been back in the country for several days now, why havenât you come to see your uncle? By the way, how has Guo Liang been all these years?"
Ling Feng said indifferently, "My father has been dead for fifteen years! This time when I returned to the country, I intended to keep a low profile. Uncle, youâre flourishing here, while I am in such a sorry state. One must have some self-awareness."
"Cousin, what are you talking about!" said Ling Xiao with a smile. "Weâre all family here. If you have any difficulties after coming back to the country, just tell me. I may not be very capable, but Iâll do my best to help!"
At the United Hearts Gangâs side, Lei Lingfengâs expression was grave, "Wushui, is this really the young man who easily defeated you four?"
Situ Wushui, clutching his chest, answered, "Big Brother, itâs him! He easily defeated me and Raging Bear. His skill is almost at an A level! When did Ling Xiao get such a powerful cousin? And, I suspect that this Ling Feng might be related to the Dragon Group?"
Lei Lingfeng frowned and said in a low voice, "Letâs not publicize this matter for now. So young yet so powerful, there must be a strong force behind him. Even if itâs not the Dragon Group, he must be related to them in some way! Weâre at a critical moment right now and canât afford any complications."
Situ Wushui nodded, "Big Brother, I understand!"
"Thereâs no need to rush," said Lei Lingfeng calmly. "Letâs first find out the forces behind him, and then we can make our plans. A gentleman can wait ten years to avenge a wrong. I will surely avenge your injury from him!"
"Get revenge for what?" At this moment, the voice of Ling Feng carried over, followed by a greeting toward Situ Wushui, "Hey, long time no see."
The corner of Situ Wushuiâs mouth twitched. Long time no see? As if he was that familiar with him!
"Sorry about last time!" Ling Feng pulled up a chair and sat down in the middle of the crowd from the United Hearts Gang, grinning, "But I held back then. Your injuries should have healed in at most half a year. No need to worry about any lasting damage!"
Lei Lingfeng stared intently at Ling Feng, then suddenly laughed, "Interesting. I didnât expect Ling Xiao to have such an interesting cousin! Ling Feng, right? If Iâm not mistaken, youâre not a member of the Dragon Group, are you?"
