The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Perhaps in Lu Yuan's eyes.

The Five Lakes Gang instance is just a game setting, so it's inevitable that some ideas will be a bit unconventional.

When he named the Five Elders, he wasn't even thinking about the Celestial Dragons from One Piece.

Instead, they were five elderly chimpanzees.

But in the eyes of the locals.

The Five Lakes Gang is an absolute behemoth.

As the largest and most deeply entrenched gang in the region.

The Five Lakes Gang originated from small groups in old neighborhoods in the 80s. After decades of integration, it has become an organization covering the entire region, combining "gray industries" with seemingly legal operations.

The core group has about 500 members and more than 2000 associates, mainly involved in gray industries, entertainment venues, and construction material supply.

It retained the early gang structure, with the traditional faction actually being Songtang, which was firmly controlled by the early gang founder, Wu Laoxing.

The reformist faction is the Hong Kong Triad, which is involved in emerging gray industries. Due to the special nature of these industries, they maintain a close yet distant relationship with the Five Lakes Gang.

Lintang, which includes the supply of construction materials and logistics for construction sites, is Huang Feiyang's private domain.

So when Huang Feiyang blatantly appeared at the Chamber of Commerce's networking dinner and explained his faked death by saying he was "promoting gang reform,"

The upper echelons of the entire region all showed expressions of amazement.

All it takes is a fake death and a month.

The Five Lakes Gang completed its transformation from a traditional gang to a new gang.

The reformers, who used the money to amass wealth, channeled it into the hands of the traditionalists.

Having absorbed fresh blood, it was ultimately eliminated from within, thus fulfilling its mission.

The only weakness in the entire Five Lakes Gang's whitewashing process has been eliminated.

"From today onwards, the Five Lakes Gang is officially renamed the Five Lakes Group, and I will participate in the election of elected representatives in a new capacity."

People from all walks of life at the banquet were watching this scene.

The complete transformation of the Five Lakes Gang is irreversible, all thanks to Huang Feiyang's shrewd methods.

"By the way, your illegitimate son is behaving quite well."

Someone in the crowd started talking about "illegitimate children," and everyone else chimed in.

Huang Feiyang's death is a big deal; everyone is paying attention.

Everyone knows that a bastard son from the mainland has risen to prominence and, as the leader, has carried out sweeping reforms.

"He is not my illegitimate son, just a clown who impersonates me."

"I see!"

"The Five Lakes Gang has issued a kill order; Huang's head is worth five million."

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

Wow! It's been so long since I've heard of a martial arts manhunt order.

"Huang is finished."

"Five million? Wouldn't that get chopped into mincemeat?"

"To die without a burial place."

...

Social occasions like dinner parties typically have two areas.

The old talk to the old, and the young talk to the young.

"Are you just going to watch your brother die?"

Xiao Xu stared wide-eyed at Huang Zhiyu.

I don't understand why she's still sitting here.

Behind Xiao Xu is not only herself, but also the entire "Huang Shenyao Fan Club".

Almost all of Lu Yuan's customers at the male escort club are here.

Big male escorts all have fan clubs.

Because not everyone has the same idea of ​​marrying Lu Yuan as Xiao Xu.

As a legitimate profession, male prostitutes in a high-pressure society are more like psychological counselors.

People tend to treat this way of relieving emotions as a lifestyle habit, which is not much different from the live streaming industry in essence.

Just like a live streamer turning on the button, once the male escort goes live, he has to put on a smiling face and bring joy to everyone, no matter how he feels.

Making money by selling smiles is a fair trade.

The male prostitutes who leave work and the live streamers who shut down are just ordinary people.

When their fans enjoy the service, it's more cost-effective than complete ownership.

"Is there any news from your brother?"

They couldn't contact Lu Yuan, so they could only place their hopes on Huang Zhiyu.

No, not a single response.

Huang Zhiyu shook his head, glancing at his phone every now and then.

But Lu Yuan didn't reply to a single message, not even the simplest one to let her know he was safe.

She was still waiting for Lu Yuan to teach her what to do next.

"Did your brother already know that your father wasn't dead?"

"You should know."

"Then don't wait anymore, he won't reply to you."

Why?

"It's obvious he doesn't want to interfere with your choice."

As an observer, Xiao Xu saw things very clearly.

It's obvious that the long distance is meant to let Huang Zhiyu choose for himself, whether it's his father or his younger brother.

The Huang Shenyao fan club is one of the few people who know the inside story.

Now not only have all of Huang's efforts been reaped, but also the fruits of his labor have been plucked.

He himself was hunted down.

People throughout the northern region were blocking streets and train stations, all hoping to get his head in exchange for five million.

News of Huang's death could come at any time.

Therefore, Xiao Xu and her friends naturally sided with Lu Yuan:

"Only you can save him, Huang Zhiyu. Go tell your father to lift the kill order!"

Huang Zhiyu himself knew about this.

But she tried her best.

"I talked to my dad, but he doesn't believe my brother."

"Everything your brother did was for you, so why did he end up like this?"

"I.."

Xiao Xu's words were like needles, piercing her heart with countless sharp points.

Of course, she didn't want Lu Yuan to die.

But there was nothing she could do.

Xiao Xu was genuinely worried when he saw her like this.

Is it easy to find a good man who is a good match for you and whom you like these days?

It's not easy at all!

And look what kind of people this family is!

She hasn't gotten past her extremely controlling older sister yet.

Another father has come who wants to kill his son.

"At least you have to express your stance and let him know that you stand with him."

Xiao Xu kept hinting, almost to the point of saying the unpleasant things outright.

What does it mean to express an attitude?

Take a knife and put it on your wrist right now, and try to cut a few bloody gashes.

Tell your dad that if you kill my brother again, I won't live either.

Everyone knows your dad loves you the most!

So many illegitimate children have chosen to recognize you as their official daughter, and even made you their heir.

If you pull this stunt, do you think your dad won't listen to you?

Huang Zhiyu suddenly realized the profound meaning behind it all.

The main problem was that Xiao Xu kept gesturing with the kitchen knife on his wrist, making it hard not to understand.

"I see."

Huang Zhiyi took a deep breath.

She felt that her father was simply blinded by anger over the false identity.

She'll definitely be able to solve the problem with that little bit of action, right?
