Within the current ranks of the Hungry Wolf Gang, a middle-aged man, clean-featured, with an unusually intriguing quality emanating from his brow, tapped lightly on the table, his face utterly composed.

Yet, standing before him were four burly men—one towering, one obese, and one gaunt—these four, it must be said, were the four Hall Masters of the Hungry Wolf Gang.

As the name suggested, the middle-aged man seated in the chair, lightly tapping the tabletop, was the Gang Leader of the Hungry Wolf Gang. Barely forty-six years old, he was already notorious in the underworld. His name was Zheng Shen.

At this moment, he squinted his eyes, sweeping a glance over the four subordinates standing before him, and spoke, "Old Bai, tell me again, exactly what is going on here?"

"Yes, Gang Leader. It happened last night. That young man claimed affiliation with the Black God Gang, and instructed this subordinate to tell the Gang Leader that we have three days. If we do not hand over the letter of surrender within three days, the Hungry Wolf Gang will meet its doom." Undoubtedly, the one speaking now was Lin Bai.

Standing beside Lin Bai, Chen Hu's complexion was far from pleasant. He was now regretting his actions beyond measure. Although he hadn't initially known the background of the Black God Gang, he had learned of it through Lin Bai's introduction. However, he wasn't so much afraid of the Black God Gang as he was of the Gang Leader sitting before him now.

The entire ordeal stemmed from his damnable bastard nephew. Chen Hu deeply regretted the situation, especially since he had adopted the boy with ill intentions in the first place, only for the nephew to stir up such immense trouble for him now. He was truly filled with remorse.

"You've all heard it. What do you say we should do?" Zheng Shen asked, his tone indifferent.

"Gang Leader, what kind of entity is this Black God Gang that they dare to challenge our Hungry Wolf Gang?" an extremely fat man asked dismissively.

Clearly, some present had never heard of this Black God Gang. It seemed only the older generation, Lin Bai and Zheng Shen, had any knowledge. Twenty years ago, the Black God Gang was a true king of the underworld. It was understandable that newer members hadn't heard of them, as the Black God Gang had vanished quickly. Their reappearance now caused Zheng Shen's mind to churn.

"Exactly, Gang Leader. That so-called Black God, in this subordinate's opinion, is simply..."

"Bastard!"

Slap! Before the slender middle-aged man could finish speaking, Zheng Shen erupted in fury, cursing him, then slammed his hand down on the table. "Have you all grown too accustomed to peaceful days, losing the spirit you had in the blood and fire of battle? Huh...!"

The slender middle-aged man clicked his tongue and fell silent. The aura radiating from Zheng Shen was so intense it made him feel suffocated.

"I'm telling you, the Black God Gang is not as simple as you imagine. Hmph, you can all leave for now!" Zheng Shen said, his eyes narrowed.

"Yes, Gang Leader!" Before their Gang Leader, the Four Hall Masters dared not assert themselves; they were merely subordinates. Each left with their own concerns churning within them.

"Black God Gang, Black God Gang. Why arrive so late, why not earlier? They choose this critical juncture to appear. Old Cai, Old Cai, it seems our plans have been dashed," Zheng Shen closed his eyes and murmured softly.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, today was the day Li Qian was to be discharged from the hospital. Yang Yi and Feng Shi stepped out of the car and headed directly toward Li Qian's ward.

"Grandpa, it's fine, your granddaughter is truly fine!" For some reason, Li Qian sounded rather embarrassed.

"Silly girl, why are you shy? Grandpa was just worried about you. Come here, let Grandpa see your wound. I saw everything when you were a little tot. You little girl, you're getting so shy now that you're grown up?" At this moment, it was hard to imagine that an old man, Principal Li (Li Qian's grandfather), insisted on checking if Li Qian's injury had fully healed.

But Li Qian was unwilling. Regardless of the reason, Li Qian felt deeply ashamed at the thought of standing bare-backed for anyone to see.

"Grandpa, no, don't look! My wound has completely healed," Li Qian, her face bright red, darted around the hospital bed, while Principal Li huffed and puffed in pursuit.

"Sigh, girl—!"

"Uh!" Before Principal Li could finish what he was saying, the ward door opened. Yang Yi entered, and upon seeing the scene in the room, his expression froze in surprise.

But while he was startled, Li Qian was not. The moment she saw Yang Yi, it was as if she had grasped a lifeline; she immediately hid behind him. "Yang Yi, quickly stop Grandpa! He wants to see my wound, but it healed ages ago!"

"You brat, don't get involved in this! I haven't settled accounts with you over that last incident. Move aside, I won't rest easy until I see it!" Principal Li's doting love for his granddaughter seemed to be overflowing.

"No!" Li Qian clung tightly to Yang Yi, pressing herself close to him.

Yang Yi felt two soft masses pressing against his back. A few cold sweat beads instantly appeared on his forehead. He grumbled internally, Damn it, what is happening today? I nearly couldn't take it in the car, and now this? Though he thought this, he couldn't show it. Thus, Yang Yi forced a cheerful smile toward Principal Li and said, "Principal, you really don't need to look. Her injury has healed; please trust her!"

"Yes, I have examined Miss Li's injury; it is completely healed. Only a small scar remains," Feng Shi quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over.

"Uh, it's really better?" Principal Li asked.

"It is. When has I, Yang Yi, ever lied to you?" Yang Yi declared solemnly.

"Ahem, ahem. I'll temporarily believe you for now, brat," Principal Li coughed a few times, his expression turning serious.

"Heh heh, is it okay now? Can you let me go?" Yang Yi felt the girl seemed to be holding him tighter, and his own heartbeat accelerated. Those two mounds against his back were simply a lethal weapon for a virgin.

"Mmm!" Li Qian let out a soft sound, then released Yang Yi, her face flushing scarlet.

"Qian'er, go out with the nurses and start the discharge procedures. Yang Yi and I will be there shortly!" Principal Li instructed Li Qian.

"Okay!" Li Qian naturally didn't grasp the meaning behind her grandfather sending her away, but seeing Yang Yi nod, she left with Feng Shi.

A moment later, after Li Qian and the others had gone, Principal Li walked to the window, watching the vehicles passing below, and spoke, "You have already issued the declaration of war against the Hungry Wolf Gang?"

Yang Yi heard him but did not speak, merely walking to his side before finally opening his mouth. "How great do you think my chances of winning are?"

"Heh heh, you're testing me now, are you?" Principal Li chuckled, glancing sideways at Yang Yi.

"To be honest, when are you going to integrate your Ice Mirror Society into my Black God Gang?" Yang Yi ignored his slightly disapproving look and asked with utter nonchalance.

"This is your test, brat. Don't you think the power behind you came too easily? Even if you are Old Yang's heir, do you believe you have sufficient capability to control the Black God Gang? And that's not even mentioning my Ice Mirror Society," Principal Li said calmly.

Indeed, from any angle, the forces behind Yang Yi had materialized too easily. Achievements that others might strive for over years, decades, or even a lifetime, Yang Yi had acquired within a single month. This was enough to spark envy, but it also fostered a sense of unease—at least, that was the feeling currently within Yang Yi.
