Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 She is my daughter

After hanging up with Lei Hongkun, Ling Hao took out his phone to call Zhang Minhao. "Chief!" The phone rang only once before Zhang Minhao answered. "Bring people to cleanse the club!" Ling Hao spoke in a heavy tone, "Also, meet me at the Lei family compound in three hours!" "Eh?" Zhang Minhao was momentarily stunned before responding loudly and promptly, "Understood!" After hanging up, Ling Hao turned and headed towards the door, with Lu Yue carrying the once again unconscious Lei Xiaoguang following behind. At the same time, at the entrance of Jianghai City's most upscale private hospital. A Mercedes-Benz van was parked not far from the entrance. Aside from Lei Hongkun, there were the household steward and two robust men in the car, and then there was Ruirui, unconscious in the back row. Lei Hongkun, having just finished the call, sat tensely in his seat, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, his eyes as sharp as blades, and his body emanated murderous intent. He had not been this furious for twenty or thirty years, and now in Yun City, someone dared to provoke him, Lei Hongkun—it was as if they were trying to reach the heavens! He had already condemned Ling Hao to severe punishment in his heart, needing to make him experience dismemberment before death to quell his rage. "After all, are we going upstairs or...?" After a while, the household steward carefully inquired. He had already gleaned a general idea from Lei Hongkun's previous phone call and was equally shocked. "Back to Yun City!" Lei Hongkun took a deep breath. "Understood!" The driver replied and then immediately turned the car around and stepped on the gas. "Get someone to check immediately, who exactly are these people!" Lei Hongkun instructed looking at the steward. "Replying to the master, I already have people on it," the household steward responded respectfully. Ding ling ling! Not long after, the steward's phone rang. "What is it?" He asked after answering the call. Whatever was said on the other end of the line made the steward's face change several times. "I understand!" Two minutes later, the steward hung up the phone and then looked at Lei Hongkun. "Master, we might have a bit of a problem. The other party seems to have significant backing." "What do you mean?" Lei Hongkun frowned deeply. "Just got word that Duan Sihai was killed!" The steward paused before continuing. "Not just him, but including his four main henchmen and a hundred gang members, they were all killed!" "Hm?" Lei Hongkun's pupils shrank slightly. He was very aware of who Duan Sihai was; not only was he personally formidable, but the people under him were also hardened criminals. Especially the four main henchmen, each was more ferocious than the last, and they were definitely noteworthy figures in Yun City's underworld. Moreover, Duan Sihai had a batch of lethal firearms at his disposal. In Yun City, besides his Lei family, he couldn't think of who else had the guts and the strength to kill Duan Sihai! "Are you suggesting, Duan Sihai was killed by the person who just called?" After some thought, Lei Hongkun took a deep breath and continued. "Yes!" The steward nodded gravely. "He approached Duan Sihai to inquire about the whereabouts of the little girl!" "Did you find out how many people they have?" "Just one!" The steward swallowed before responding. When he heard this news over the phone, he nearly bit his own tongue. If the person on the other end hadn't been his trusted subordinate, he would have probably cursed out loud already; it was just too absurd! One person, wiping out over a hundred of Duan Sihai's people!? Who would believe such a thing! But, he knew his subordinate would never joke about such matters with him. The Lei family had likely provoked serious trouble this time! "What!?" Lei Hongkun's pupils shrunk to the size of needle points. "Are you sure?" "Positive!" The steward nodded solemnly. Lei Hongkun let out a heavy sigh. "Call Xiaobin, tell him to bring all our people back to Yun City from Dongzhou right away and remember to bring the firearms!" "Also, tell Second Master to call all our people in Yun City back to the Lei family compound!" "Understood!" The steward nodded in response. "And, contact the heads of the Sun, Zhou, and Huang families personally. Tell them the Lei family requests their presence and to bring a hundred of their best men each to the Lei family compound immediately!" The Suns, Zhous, and Huangs mentioned were the top three influential families in Yun City, aside from the Lei family. "Right away!" After the steward agreed, he picked up his phone and got to work. Lei Hongkun then pulled out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep puff. After contemplating for a moment, he picked up his phone and called his daughter. "Dad, have you arrived at Tianhai? Is there something wrong?" A woman's voice came from the earpiece, belonging to Lei Yunli, the Lei family's eldest miss. "Your brother has had an accident..." Lei Hongkun spoke in a weighty tone. Meanwhile, Ling Hao and his companion arrived at a secluded tea house with Lei Xiaoguang. The business at the tea house was sparse, with no one in the hall. Lu Yue took out a wad of hundred-yuan bills and handed it to the owner, reserving the place for three hours. Snap! Snap! Then, Lu Yue threw Lei Xiaoguang on the ground and slapped him twice. Cough! Cough! Cough! Lei Xiaoguang coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and woke up, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Ling Hao and Lu Yue. "Who... who exactly are you?" "Do you Lei family think you can cover the sky with one hand in Yun City, doing whatever you want?" After sitting down, Ling Hao spoke indifferently, "Just to get your daughter a heart transplant, you view other children's lives as worthless!" "It's not the first time the Lei family has done something like this, right?" For him, now that he has ensured Ruirui is temporarily safe, his mind is at ease. As for how many people the Lei family might send after him, he couldn't care less. As the King of the Western Frontier, he didn't give a single Lei family a second thought, let alone ten of them. If they really angered him, he could wipe out the Lei family in a mere thought! "Who... who are you to her?" Lei Xiaoguang continued to vomit blood. "She's my daughter!" Ling Hao once again replied indifferently. "What!?" Lei Xiaoguang exclaimed in shock. "It's impossible! We've checked; she's just a bastard child, her mother doesn't even know who her father is…" Bang! Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Yue kicked out, sending Lei Xiaoguang crashing into the wall behind him. Puh! A large amount of fresh blood spurted out, and he likely broke several ribs. "If you don't watch your mouth, you won't live for three hours!" Lu Yue spoke gravely. "You... if you dare do this to me, the Lei family will never let you go..." Lei Xiaoguang screamed before replying with difficulty. "Heh, is that so?" Ling Hao lit a cigarette and took a puff. "Whether the Lei family will let me off the hook is something they'll have to ask my permission for!" "Do you believe that after today, there will be no Lei family in Yun City?"
