919: Chapter 919: The Queen of Business 919: Chapter 919: The Queen of Business Ye Fei was startled and quickly reached out to pull Leona to her feet, asking, âWhat are you doing?â Leona gazed at Ye Fei with a dazed look and said, âFather, I knew you wouldnât die.
Youâve been reborn in another way, havenât you?â âIâm not your father.
Iâm Ye Fei, the one who killed your father,â Ye Fei replied with a hint of helplessness.
âNo, you are my father,â Leona insisted stubbornly.
âMy father was the Thunder God, who possessed the purest form of lightning power.
Now that power is with you.
It must mean youâve inherited his legacy and heâs been reborn in you!â Seeing that the girl had made up her mind and wouldnât listen to reason, Ye Fei shrugged and asked, âAlright, so what do you plan to do?â A gleam of joy flashed in Leonaâs eyes as she grabbed Ye Feiâs hand and said cheerfully, âOf course, Iâll stay by my fatherâs side, just like before.â âSure, but you canât follow me now.
Because of what happened yesterday, Uncle Liu hates you to the core.
Find a place to stay for now.
Iâll contact you when I return to my country,â Ye Fei agreed readily, much to Leonaâs delight.
The âfather and daughterâ chatted for a while longer, mostly about the Holy War Organization.
According to Leona, after this warning, the organization would likely be more cautious and wouldnât easily target ordinary gang members.
So Ye Feiâs Lingyun Society could develop here without too much worry.
However, they couldnât let their guard down completely.
Besides the Four Gods, the Holy War Organization had a mysterious leader known as the âHoly King.â No one knew his combat strength, but Leona guessed that he was probably much stronger than the Four Gods.
As Ye Fei left the small bungalow, a meaningful smile played on his lips.
Although Leonaâs acting was excellent and almost flawless, Ye Fei still noticed many inconsistencies.
The most obvious was the way she looked at him, with a deep affection between a man and a woman.
No matter how well she faked it, or even if it was real, it shouldnât have been there because she called him âfather.â When she was with the Thunder God, all she showed was absolute obedience and respect.
She wasnât the type to have a father complex.
This proved that Leona didnât see him as her father just because of the lightning power.
Her real goal was obviousâto get close to him and find a chance to avenge her father.
However, Ye Fei had no intention of exposing Leona.
Instead, he decided to keep her close.
Because of the Thunder God, Ye Fei couldnât bring himself to kill Leona.
If he let her go, she might cause more trouble he couldnât handle.
It was safer to keep her under his watch.
A hidden enemy was far more terrifying than one right under your nose.
Ye Fei understood this well.
What he didnât know was that while Leona was now under his control, somewhere else, a hidden enemy was about to take a strong dislike to him.
In Southeast China, in the best private hospital in Jin Hai City, two men and two women were waiting anxiously outside the emergency room.
Despite their worried expressions, they couldnât hide their air of authority.
Especially the woman in her thirtiesâshe was imposing and incredibly elegant, almost too regal to look at.
She was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven, and had a figure that could only be described as perfect.
She was the epitome of âbeautiful as a peach blossom, cold as ice.â The other woman, a bit older, was also beautiful but seemed to pale in comparison when standing next to her.
Anyone who wasnât completely out of the loop would recognize the younger woman as Gu Yanping, the head of the Gu family, one of the top business families in Jin Hai City.
Gu Yanping, the dream girl of countless men in Jin Hai City, was still single at the age of thirty-three.
It was said that she had a passionate romance during her school days.
But it didnât last long.
Just as she was about to give herself to the man she loved after graduation, he succumbed to the threats and temptations from the Gu family.
He left her with a check for ten million from Old Master Gu.
Since then, Gu Yanping stopped believing in love and poured all her energy into the family business.
With her natural talent, she turned the originally second-rate Gu family into the number one business family in Jin Hai City in just a few years.
Coupled with her breathtaking beauty, she was often compared to Liu Yiru from the Wanghai Liu family and Ye Ningshuang from the Ye family.
They were known as the âThree Jewels of the Southeast Business World.â Of course, after more than a decade of cutthroat business competition, Gu Yanping, whose methods were sometimes even more ruthless than menâs, didnât receive all praise.
Her business rivals often cursed her behind her back, calling her names like âperverted spinster.â Some even tried to find her weaknesses.
But after all that research, they found that Gu Yanping had only one âweaknessââher half-brother, Gu Zheng.
Gu Yanping doted on her younger brother, who was about ten years her junior.
Gu Zheng was Gu Yanpingâs Achillesâ heel.
Even if someone just scolded him a little, she would fly into a rage.
But today, Gu Yanping received shocking news.
Her brother had been beaten unconscious and was being treated in the hospital.
This made her both anxious and furious.
She rushed to the private hospital and notified her father, grandfather, and Gu Zhengâs biological mother, who was also her stepmother.
After a long while, the emergency room light turned green, and a middle-aged doctor with a tired expression walked out.
Gu Yanping quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously, âDr.
Zhang, how is my brother?â âHeâs awake,â Dr.
Zhang said.
But before Gu Yanping and the others had time to feel relieved, he shook his head.
âHowever, Young Master Guâs condition is very poor.
Although his life is not in danger, he will likely spend the rest of his life in bed.â Upon hearing Dr.
Zhangâs words, the two men and Gu Yanping were somewhat composed, but the beautiful woman, whose looks were only slightly less than Gu Yanpingâs, immediately fell apart.
Her body went limp, and she nearly collapsed to the ground, crying out, âWhat on earth happened?â
