Accompanying Li Yun, Ye Fei quickly arrived at the headquarters of Lingyun Association.
He first greeted Zhang Yide, who was in charge here, and then, together with him, took Li Yun down to the basement.
This basement, originally used for storing items and occasionally dealing with hostile elements in secret, had now been designated by Zhang Yide as the top priority of Lingyun Association.
Not only had the number of guards been increased, but the experts created by Ye Fei were also rotating to set up covert defenses.
In fact, even Ye Fei himself couldn’t guarantee that he could infiltrate the basement without alerting anyone. This arrangement left Ye Fei extremely satisfied. The experts he had created, implanted with absolute loyalty, were entirely trustworthy.
After placing Li Yun inside the large, box-like device, Ye Fei and Zhang Yide sat down nearby.
Since Ye Fei had not visited the headquarters of Lingyun Association after creating those experts last time, this was the first opportunity for Zhang Yide to brief him on the association’s affairs.
However, Ye Fei was a complete novice when it came to underworld operations, and with Zhang Yide, who had spent most of his life in this line of work, managing things, Ye Fei didn’t need to worry about it.
He simply asked Zhang Yide to give a brief overview.
Once he learned that Lingyun Association had completely eradicated the negative impact brought by Ye Yu, he stopped him and asked, "Grandpa Zhang, how’s the situation with the Qinglong Gang?"
"Haha, with the experts you created and the help of Baldy and his boys, the Qinglong Gang was no match for us. We’ve completely crushed them and have almost entirely absorbed their members," Zhang Yide couldn’t help but get very excited.
When Ye Fei had decided to take on the Qinglong Gang, he had been worried that Lingyun Association would suffer heavy losses. But it turned out that they had defeated the enemy with minimal effort.
He could already envision the day when Lingyun would rise to prominence.
Ye Fei, however, had anticipated this outcome and wasn’t as excited as Zhang Yide.
He simply smiled faintly and said, "Since the Qinglong Gang has been eliminated, we should also absorb the other smaller gangs. Although they’re not significant forces, they can still cause trouble if they gang up on us."
"Really?" Zhang Yide was even more excited than before.
Although he didn’t have grand ambitions himself, unifying the underworld of Wang Hai City had been the wish of Ye Lao Ye, and as his most loyal brother, he had taken it to heart.
During Ye Lao Ye and Ye Lingyun’s time, although Lingyun was the number one gang in Wang Hai City, they hadn’t achieved unification.
In Ye Lingtian’s era, things had become chaotic due to Ye Yu. But that was all in the past.
Now, under Ye Fei’s leadership, Lingyun Association was poised to accomplish something unprecedented. How could he not be thrilled?
He immediately promised, "Boss, rest assured. Within half a month, I, Zhang Yide, will ensure that there’s no other gang in Wang Hai City besides ours!"
"Alright, once the unification is complete, bring the absorbed members here. I’ll help transform their bodies," Ye Fei’s ambition was different from Zhang Yide’s.
While Zhang Yide aimed to unify the underworld of Wang Hai City, Ye Fei had his sights set on fully controlling this metropolis with nearly ten million people.
During his time in the primeval forest, he had made up his mind.
Although it was still too early to dominate the world, he wanted to take control of Wang Hai City as soon as possible. He aimed to create a completely safe environment for his loved ones, free from any constraints.
That’s why he planned to turn the absorbed members into experts loyal only to him.
With tens of thousands of super experts equivalent to the Xiantian level guarding Wang Hai City, it would be a pipe dream for outsiders to interfere.
As for the side effects of the device, Ye Fei didn’t care about them at all. When it came to Li Yun, he had considered his feelings because Li Yun was his comrade and a trustworthy elder.
But for outsiders, especially former enemies, Ye Fei didn’t care about their thoughts at all.
After all, they would be absolutely loyal to him once the commands were implanted, and there was no risk of betrayal.
An hour later, the indicator light on the box went out. Ye Fei knew that Li Yun’s transformation was complete and opened the box from the outside.
Li Yun leaped out of the box, stretched his arms, and kicked his legs, asking in disbelief, "Is that it? Am I really okay now?"
Ye Fei smiled gently and said, "Of course, you’re fine. Do you think this is a dream? How do you feel, Uncle Li? Do you notice any differences?"
"Differences?" Li Yun, who had been too happy to pay attention to his physical condition, now clenched his fist tightly and suddenly laughed heartily, "It’s completely different. I feel like I could take on an armored vehicle by myself now!"
He excitedly did a few somersaults. At this moment, he didn’t look like a middle-aged man who was the captain of a special forces team; he looked like a child who had just received a great toy.
Take on an armored vehicle?
Why don’t you say take on the Transformers?
Ye Fei couldn’t help but roll his eyes, but he understood Li Yun’s joy.
When he had first gained his powers, he hadn’t been much better than Li Yun. And back then, he had just been physically weak; it was even worse for Li Yun, who had been completely immobilized.
After Li Yun had recovered, Ye Fei didn’t take him away immediately.
Although it might sound a bit harsh to say—one was a soldier and the other a gangster—they were now on the same side. Letting them get to know each other had many benefits.
At least when Zhang Yide was wiping out the other gangs, he would have one less thing to worry about.
It wasn’t until dusk that the three of them emerged from the basement together. Ye Fei had no intention of going back to the military base, but an unexpected phone call changed his mind.
Seeing Ye Fei get into the car after answering a call, Li Yun couldn’t help but ask, "Who was that on the phone? Weren’t you heading home?"
Ye Fei made a face and said, "It was Auntie Dongfang. She’s probably going to give me a hard time for taking you away without her permission."
Li Yun also furrowed his brows. He knew Dr. Dongfang Ruolan well. She was an extremely serious person, especially when it came to her work. Since he had returned to Wang Hai City, she had been in charge of his treatment.
Now, without her consent, he had accepted treatment from Ye Fei, who had no experience. She would definitely think Ye Fei was making a mess and get very angry.

"I’ll explain to her for you. Since I’ve already recovered, I don’t think Dr. Dongfang will be too hard on you," he said.
"There’s no need for that. I have my own way," Ye Fei quickly replied. His previous worried expression had been just for show. He had many ways to deal with Dongfang Ruolan.
Although she was very serious in her daily life, she was quite relaxed around his family, especially with him and Ye Yunqi.
She even doted on them a bit.
As long as he acted cute with her, he was sure she would let go of any anger she might have.
Ye Fei was so confident because of the relationship between Dongfang Ruolan and his family.
Twenty years ago, the Dongfang family had suffered a great tragedy, with everyone except the then-teenage Dongfang Ruolan perishing.
Since Liu Jia’s grandfather had a good relationship with Dongfang Ruolan’s father, he took her in.
Thus, she had an excellent relationship with the Liu sisters, especially with Liu Yiru, who was the same age as her. They were closer than real sisters.
And for Liu Yiru’s two children, Dongfang Ruolan, who had never married, treated them like her own.
Although Ye Fei was very sure of himself, Li Yun still called his daughter, Li Xiaoyan, to inform her of his recovery and asked her to pass the message to Dongfang Ruolan and Miao Xin. Only then did he start the car and head towards the military base.
Now that he had recovered, he couldn’t let Ye Fei, who didn’t have a driver’s license, drive anymore.
As soon as Ye Fei and Li Yun entered the military hospital, a petite figure quickly approached them. It was Li Yun’s daughter, Li Xiaoyan, followed by Miao Xin with a smile.
Although she had received the call earlier, she still couldn’t believe it was true until she saw her father, who was as lively as before. Overwhelmed with emotion, she threw herself at Li Yun and laughed, "Dad, you’re really better? Congratulations!"
Li Yun affectionately patted Li Xiaoyan on the head and said, "Yes, I’m fine now. Thanks to Ye Fei."
He was growing more and more fond of Ye Fei, thinking to himself, "It’s a pity he’s already engaged. Otherwise, he’d be a perfect match for my daughter."
Li Xiaoyan, of course, was also grateful to Ye Fei, but recalling his indifference towards her earlier in the day, she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.
Sensing that her father wanted her to thank him, she quickly changed the subject and said to Ye Fei with a hint of schadenfreude, "Auntie Dongfang is waiting for you in her office."
Ye Fei feigned disbelief and turned to Miao Xin, asking, "Is Auntie Dongfang really waiting for me?"
Miao Xin nodded and said, "Yes, my godmother sent me to fetch you. Let’s head upstairs now."
Ye Fei smiled and followed Miao Xin into the office building. Li Xiaoyan, feeling ignored by him once again, was so angry that she wanted to kick him, but her father held her back.
She had no choice but to grumble and follow him to handle his discharge procedures.
Dr. Dongfang Ruolan’s medical skills were passed down from her family, making her an absolute ace here. As a result, she enjoyed excellent benefits, including a large private office on the second floor. Miao Xin brought Ye Fei to the office door, stopped, and whispered, "Go in by yourself and be careful."
