A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

The Huilong Society has completely fallen.

Several government departments joined forces to carry out a massive crackdown on the Huilong Society outside the Great Wall.

The Huilong Society was completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back.

The downfall of the Huilong Society was within Gu Feng's expectations. Therefore, he ordered his nine subordinates to follow these bigwigs. They would clear out one territory of the Huilong Society, and Gu Feng would take over another.

"Picking up dead chickens" was exactly what Master Gu loved to do. So, without much effort, he took over most of the territory of the Huilong Society outside the Great Wall.

As for the remaining small remnant force, Gu Feng didn't bother with it.

He believed that even if his nine men were incompetent, they should be more than capable of handling this cleanup. Besides, these nine underlings were not weak under his tutelage.

Therefore, when Lao Yi was released from prison, the once renowned and powerful Huilong Society was already defunct in name only.

Longjin Building has been sealed off.

Hong Sheng's mansion was also seized.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Of the tens of thousands of gang members, some died, some were injured, some fled, some were arrested, and some reformed. Less than two thousand remained.

Hiding in the shadows, looking at the sealed entrance of the Longjin Building, Lao Yi felt a deep sense of loss and despair, like a dog that had lost its home.

During his time inside, Lao Yi suffered a lot.

The man, who weighed over 140 pounds, was reduced to only about 90 pounds. Moreover, he was completely isolated; orders could not be sent out, messages could not be sent in, and he had no ability to even remotely command.

Lao Yi can be said to have survived the most difficult period of his life.

While he was in prison, Lao Yi thought he would never see the light of day again. Unexpectedly, he was only sentenced to two years, and even that was suspended.

It wasn't until he was released that he finally learned that his father, Hong Sheng, had taken all the blame on his own, which was why he regained his freedom.

After going through countless hardships and using numerous connections, Lao Yi was finally able to see his father one last time. But this meeting was almost certainly the last, because Hong Sheng had already been sentenced to death.

When Lao Yi saw his father, he found that his father had become extremely haggard and thin.

His hair, which was not yet white, turned completely white in just a few months.

It's easy to imagine that he suffered no less inside than I did.

"Father." When the old man called out this, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, his eyes reddening.

"Oldest one."

Hong Sheng simply smiled and called out to him, his demeanor less authoritative and more benevolent.

"Father, your son is incompetent, and you have suffered so much." As the old man spoke, tears finally fell uncontrollably, and he choked out, "Father, don't worry, I will do everything I can to get you out of here."

Hong Sheng sighed: "Old Yi, there's no need to waste your energy. My death sentence has been handed down, and I've also given up the right to appeal."

Upon hearing this, the old man became even more heartbroken. He knew that his father had saved him with his own life.

"Oldest brother, the sons of the Hong family are all men of steel. They will shed blood but not tears. It's just death, nothing serious. They'll be heroes again in eighteen years. Besides, I, Hong Sheng, have already enjoyed all the riches and honors in my life. Death is nothing to regret for me. Don't wail like a woman." Hong Sheng frowned and stared at Oldest brother.

Despite his grief, the old man immediately wiped away his tears.

Hong Sheng watched his son silently the whole time.

He so desperately wanted to see his children multiply, have many descendants, and bring glory to his ancestors.

But now, he obviously can't see it anymore.

"Father, I'll contact my brother right away and ask him to come too..."

"No, don't look for him. Don't tell him what happened at home either. Let him focus on his internship abroad."

"But, Father, can't my brother come to see you..." The old man's voice choked up again as he spoke of their last meeting.

Hong Sheng asked, "First Brother, do you know why I separated you two brothers when you were young, and even why your younger brother's surname is the same as your deceased mother's?"

"I don't know," the old man shook his head blankly.

Hong Sheng sighed deeply: "Old Yi, have you ever resented your father for favoring one side over the other? He let you join the gang, but allowed your younger brother to study, go to university, and receive a good education, and even forbade him to get involved in anything within the gang."

"No, Father, I have never resented you..."

Hong Sheng waved his hand, interrupting him: "Actually, it's understandable that you resent me. But, Lao Yi, you may not know, but my greatest pride in this life isn't the wealth and luxury I've enjoyed, or the number of beautiful women I've had. Those things mean nothing to me. What I'm most proud of is having you two sons. Our Hong family ancestors were either bandits or hooligans, generation after generation, without a single cultured person. They were all thuggish and uncouth. So when you two brothers were born, I thought, I have two sons, I can't let them both become hooligans. I have to raise at least one to be a college graduate, someone respectable. So in the end, I had to wrong you, the older brother, and let you enter the underworld. Let your younger brother live a life completely different from the Hong family."

"Father, please don't say that. I really don't blame you. I'm genuinely happy to see my brother doing so well," the old man said sincerely.

"I'm glad you think that way," Hong Sheng said, then sighed again. "I already know the situation of the Huilong Society. This time, we really suffered a crushing defeat. And only now do I realize that our real enemy isn't Ding Lisheng, Ding Hanhan, or that advisor, but Gu Feng. He's the one who caused everything. Even Uncle Gui was framed by me."

The old man looked at his father, sighed, and remained silent. Even if he understood by then, it was already too late.

"But Lao Yi, you should know that victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. This loss means the next victory. So from now on, you must try to endure hardship and prepare to make a comeback. You must avenge this for me and for the Huilong Society. I want that Gu fellow to be torn to pieces and brought down to keep me company. I will have a real showdown with him in hell." Hong Sheng was unwilling, truly unwilling. Because in this battle, he lost too foolishly. But now, he no longer had the chance to strike again.

"Father, rest assured, I will never let that Gu fellow get away with this." The old man clenched his fists tightly. He was determined to avenge this. Even if not for his father, he would do it for himself.

The pain of losing his egg, the agony of having his girl stolen, the hatred of his gang being wiped out... all these grudges combined made him regard Gu Feng as his irreconcilable enemy.

"Old One, are you confident that you can restore the glory of the Huilong Society?" Hong Sheng asked in a deep voice.

The old man moved his lips, but didn't make a sound.

"Don't you have confidence? Your father was able to grow a small gang of only a few hundred people into a gang of tens of thousands at its peak. Now that you have such a good foundation, don't you have the confidence to make a comeback?" Hong Sheng asked angrily.

"No, Father, I have confidence. It's just that Shenzhen now belongs entirely to the Yihe Gang. We'll have no place to stand here anymore," the old man said worriedly.

Hong Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, you should go to Dongcheng. Dongcheng is economically prosperous and has a strong momentum for development. Most importantly, it's full of small fry and scattered rabble, which are no match for you. Now is the perfect time for you to go. As for the funds... our accounts have all been frozen and will be confiscated soon. However, I anticipated this day would come, so I prepared a reserve account long ago. Although it may not be enough, it will be enough for you to gain a foothold in Dongcheng. In addition, you must find a way to get the money from Caishen back."

"Yes, Father, I will never let you down again." The old man nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Alright, I've told you what I needed to say. It's almost time for me to go." Hong Sheng stood up, gazing intently at his son. "First son, remember your surname is Hong, remember your hatred. Your father is watching you from the afterlife."

"Father—" The eldest son finally broke down in tears...
