Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 Killing intent is overwhelming

Thump! Thump! Thump! Around them, tables and chairs were blown to pieces, window glass on the walls shattered, and the bar counter collapsed with a bang. Duan Sihai, like a cannonball, flew backwards, crashing into the wall behind him and creating a hole before falling onto the concrete ground outside. "So.. .strong…" He managed to mutter a few words before a gush of blood came spewing out, his body convulsed a few times and then he was still. He never imagined that he, the underground emperor of Yun City, an admired hero, would one day lose his life over a little girl! If given another chance, he would probably rather die than take on this job from the Lei family! Alas, in life there are no ifs, good and evil beget their own rewards, everything has its cause and effect! With blood rushing to his head from shock, Ling Hao's injuries worsened, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood as his aura deflated. "Ah..." On his knees, tears streaming down his face, he let out a heart-wrenching scream that echoed to the heavens. Was it too late after all? Why must heaven punish him like this? Why so cruel? Ruoruo, she was just a four or five-year-old child! Thud! Thud! Thud! Soon, a rush of hurried footsteps came from the doorway. It was Zhang Minhaoh, urgently hurrying over, followed by over a hundred fully armed police officers, each looking incredibly tense. Hiss! As the group entered the lobby and saw the scene before them, they each sharply inhaled in shock. The once bustling restaurant lobby had turned into a veritable hell on earth, shocking to behold. Those at the front of the group looked far ahead at the immobile Duan Sihai and were utterly shocked. This man, whose mere foot-stomp could send ripples through Yun City, was dead!? What exactly happened here? Who possessed such audacity to exact revenge on this underworld hero within the bounds of Yun City? "Stay here!" Zhang Minhaoh withdrew his gaze from Duan Sihai's corpse, turning to address his subordinates in a serious tone. He was just as astonished as everyone else! From the moment he received the call from Ling Hao to deal with the aftermath, he had an inkling that something major was about to unfold! Thus, he had brought his team over immediately after hanging up. He had fought against Duan Sihai for many years and knew the latter well – ruthless, cunning, and with over a thousand men under his command, none to be taken lightly. Even though he was aware of the Blood Shadow Squad members' formidable capabilities, it surely wasn't possible to fight off a hundred adversaries all at once! If anything were to happen to Commander Ling within his jurisdiction, it would spell the end for him! Now, witnessing the scene before him, he realized the extent of Commander Ling's strength. "Received!" Everyone halted. "Commander Ling… Are you… alright?" Zhang Minhaoh approached Ling Hao, stopping about ten meters behind him. He wanted to get closer, but the murderous intent emanating from Ling Hao made it impossible to advance any further. Despite that, he still felt enveloped by a dense killing intent, causing an uncontrollable shiver throughout his body. "You're familiar with the Lei family's situation, right?" Ling Hao took a deep breath and stood up, turning his gaze to Zhang Minhaoh. "Lei... The Lei family?" Zhang Minhaoh looked at Ling Hao and nearly collapsed. The Ling Hao before him seemed like a demon who had just emerged from hell. Anger surged, killing intent surrounded him, and his eyes shot daggers straight into Zhang Minhaoh's soul, instilling a deep-rooted fear. "Who are the main members of their family?" Ling Hao continued in a grave tone. "The older generation of the Lei family consists of two brothers, Lei Hongkun and Lei Hongming. Lei Hongming has no descendants, while Lei Hongkun has three children." Zhang Minhaoh took a deep breath to steady himself before continuing. "The eldest son, Lei Xiaobin, and the second daughter, Lei Yunli, manage all the Lei family's grey businesses, like nightclubs, members' clubs, casinos, martial arts schools, etc." "The youngest son, Lei Xiaoguang, handles the legitimate industries and is the general manager of the Lei Corporation." "He is also the most valued of the three children by Lei Hongkun and is likely to be the Lei family's next successor. He..." "Does Lei Xiaoguang have a daughter about Ruoruo's age?" Ling Hao cut him off mid-sentence. "Yes, she turned six today..." As he said this, Zhang Minhaoh seemed to suddenly realize something, trembling: "Commander, what do you mean?" "Lei Xiaoguang's daughter needs a heart transplant, and Ruoruo is a match!" Ling Hao replied coldly. Hiss! Zhang Minhaoh shuddered. The Lei family is really courting death! "And Ruoruo now?" After taking a deep breath, Zhang Minhaoh asked again. "She's already been taken to Tianhai by Lei Hongkun!" Ling Hao's eyes were bloodshot as he spat out each word with rage. "Ah!?" Zhang Minhaoh exclaimed in shock, shaking uncontrollably. He knew fully well what this meant! "Immediately track down Lei Xiaoguang's phone and find him!" Ling Hao ordered sternly. "Understood!" Zhang Minhaoh nodded vigorously and quickly took out his phone to give orders. Ring-a-ling! In less than five minutes, Zhang Minhaoh's phone rang. "Commander, we've located Lei Xiaoguang!" After the call, Zhang Minhaoh turned to Ling Hao: "He's at one of the Lei family's clubs." "Send me the address!" Ling Hao said and then quickly headed for the lobby's exit, adding. "Handle the cleanup here quickly, and don't worry about Lei Xiaoguang for now. I'll call you when I need you!" "Received!" Zhang Minhaoh replied loudly before sending the club's address to Ling Hao. Boom! Two minutes later, Ling Hao started the car and pressed down on the accelerator; the vehicle roared and sped away. Ring-a-ling! Soon after, Lu Yue's call came through. "How's the situation, what on earth happened with Yu Xin?" Ling Hao asked with a stern voice after pressing the answer button. "The head of the Sun family has kidnapped Miss Qin's family and demands that she return with you to apologize to his son," Lu Yue reported. "Utterly reckless!" Ling Hao's brow furrowed. "Is it resolved?" "Yes!" Lu Yue nodded. "From now on, the Sun family should no longer trouble Miss Qin and her family." After a short pause, he continued: "Commander, how are things on your end? Did you find out where Ruoruo is?" "The Lei family is behind it!" Ling Hao responded icily, then briefly summarized the situation. "The Lei family truly deserves death!" Lu Yue's voice was equally cold. "I'm sending you an address. Come over immediately, and we'll meet there!" Ling Hao continued. "Okay!" Lu Yue responded loudly. Half an hour later, Ling Hao stopped the car with a screech outside an upscale club in the center of Yun City. "Commander!" As soon as Ling Hao got out of the car, he saw Lu Yue quickly approaching. "Let's go in!" Ling Hao nodded and headed into the club.
