chapter 12 she is my daughter

After hanging up the phone with Firas Lei, Randy Ling took out his mobile phone and dialed Kerr Zhang's mobile phone. "Sir!" The phone rang once, and Kerr Zhang quickly answered the call. "Bring someone to the club to clean up!" Randy Ling said in a deep voice. "Also, meet me at The Lei's Compound in three hours." "Ah?" Kerr Zhang was momentarily stunned but quickly responded loudly, "Copy that!" After hanging up the phone, Randy Ling turned and walked toward the door, with Sherod Lu following him, carrying the unconscious Malekai Lei. Meanwhile, at the entrance of one of the most upscale private hospitals in Jianghai City, a Mercedes-Benz was parked not far from the entrance. Inside the car were Firas Lei, the manager of the Lei family, and two strong men. On the back seat lay Viola, unconscious. Firas Lei had already sentenced Randy Ling to torture in his heart, vowing to make Randy Ling taste the agonizing pain of Ling Chi before allowing his anger to subside. "Master, should we head upstairs or not?" After a brief pause, the Lei family manager asked cautiously. Firas Lei, who had just hung up the phone, sat in his seat with a face so gloomy it seemed ready to drip water. His eyes were sharp as blades, radiating intense murderous intent. He hadn't been this angry in nearly two to three decades. In Yun City, challenging Firas Lei was akin to challenging the heavens themselves. "Understood!" the driver acknowledged, swiftly turning the car around and accelerating. "Immediately arrange for someone to investigate the identity of that individual," Firas Lei instructed the manager. The manager had already gathered a rough understanding from Firas Lei's previous phone call and was equally stunned. "Return to Yun City!" Firas Lei took a deep breath. After a short while, the manager's phone rang. "What's going on?" he inquired after answering the call. "Sir, I've already initiated an investigation," the manager replied respectfully. Ring! Ring! "Master, this situation is rather complicated. It appears that the other party has substantial connections," the manager continued. Firas Lei's pupils slightly constricted. He was well aware that Elmer Duan wasn't a good person, and the people under him were far from virtuous either. "I've just received word that Elmer Duan has been killed," the manager announced after a pause. "Not just him, but also his four top lieutenants and hundreds of gang members—all dead." In Yun City, apart from the Lei family, Firas Lei couldn't think of anyone else with the audacity and strength to eliminate Elmer Duan. "Do you mean to say that the person who called earlier was responsible for Elmer Duan's death?" Firas Lei inquired, taking a deep breath. Especially those four lieutenants, each more formidable than the last—they were undoubtedly well-known figures among the city's underground forces. Moreover, Elmer Duan possessed a cache of highly lethal firearms. "It was one person," the manager affirmed with a gulp. When he received the news on the phone, he nearly bit his tongue in disbelief. "Yes," the manager nodded somberly, "He approached Elmer Duan solely to ascertain the whereabouts of the little girl." "Did you inquire how many individuals were involved?" If this information were relayed, it would be met with incredulity. However, he trusted that his close associates would not jest with him about such a matter. Had it not been for the fact that the person on the other end of the line was someone he knew well, he might have burst out laughing at the absurdity. A single person singlehandedly eliminating hundreds of Elmer Duan's people? Unbelievable! "Alright," the manager responded with seriousness. Whoosh! The Lei family might be in serious trouble this time. "What!?" Firas Lei's pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks. "Are you certain?" "Also, instruct the second master to summon everyone back to The Lei's Compound in Yun City." "Understood!" The manager nodded in acknowledgment. Firas Lei let out a heavy breath. "Call Jassim and ask him to take everyone from Dongzhou back to Yun City immediately. Remember to take the guys with you!" "Yes!" The manager responded, then picked up his phone and started working. Firas Lei then took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff. "Also, you personally call the heads of the Sun, Zhou, and Huang families and tell them that the Lei family has invited them. Ask each of them to bring a hundred elites to the Lei family as soon as possible!" The three Sun, Zhou, and Huang families he mentioned were the top three big families in Yun City besides the Lei family. A female voice came from the microphone; it was Suzana Lei, the eldest daughter of the Lei family. "Something happened to your brother..." Firas Lei said in a deep voice. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed his daughter's number. "Dad, have you arrived at Tianhai? Are you okay?" Sherod Lu reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of one-hundred-yuan bills, which he handed to the innkeeper, reserving the room for three hours. Snap! Snap! At the same time, Randy Ling and Malekai Lei arrived at a secluded teahouse. The teahouse had few customers, and the main hall was empty. Malekai Lei, after coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, regained consciousness and looked at Randy Ling and the others with fear in his eyes. "Who... who are you?" he stammered. Without hesitation, Sherod Lu forced Malekai Lei to the ground and delivered two resounding slaps. Cough! Cough! Cough! "Your Lei family must have been involved in such activities frequently, haven't you?" Randy Ling remarked. With Viola's temporary safety assured, Randy Ling felt a sense of relief. "Do you Lei family members truly believe that you can rule Yun City with an iron fist and act with impunity?" Randy Ling took a seat and spoke calmly. "To perform a heart transplant for your daughter, you've treated the lives of other children as expendable!" Randy Ling could destroy the Lei family with a mere thought if they provoked him. "You... who are you to her?" Malekai Lei continued to bleed from his mouth. As for how many people the Lei family might send to deal with him, Randy Ling didn't even consider it. As the King of the West, he didn't take a small Lei family seriously, not to mention ten of them. "Impossible! We've already confirmed that she's a bastard. Even her mother doesn't know who the father is..." Bang! "She is my daughter!" Randy Ling responded calmly. "What!?" Malekai Lei exclaimed. A torrent of blood gushed from his mouth, and the agony of at least several shattered ribs was evident on his face. "If you can't keep that mouth of yours shut," Sherod Lu growled in a low, threatening tone, "you won't make it past the next three hours." Before he could complete his warning, Sherod Lu's foot connected with Malekai, sending him hurtling toward the wall pillar with tremendous force. Puff! Gasping for breath and wincing in pain, Malekai Lei managed to mutter, "You... the Lei family won't let you get away with this..." "Haha, is that so?" Randy Ling chuckled, lighting up a cigarette and taking a drag. "Even if your Lei family wanted to get rid of me, they'd need my permission." "Do you believe that, after today, the Lei family will cease to exist in Yun City?" ..
