Liu Yuhang carefully looked at Xiang Yu, trying to figure out if Xiang Yu was hinting him to leave and call for help.
But Xiang Yu looked calm, not blinking an eye.
"I’m fine, you go ahead with your work," Xiang Yu confird once more.
Liu Yuhang nodded, then turned and left. It was his first ti encountering this situation, and he was unsure of what to do.
Outside, he thought of everyone he could, and eventually called Tie Zhuzi.
"Where, where are you?" Liu Yuhang said anxiously.
"What’s the matter?" Tie Zhuzi noticed Liu Yuhang’s urgency and asked.
Liu Yuhang rarely called him, so when he received the call, Tie Zhuzi’s first reaction was that soone was causing trouble at the hospital.
"A group of people are pointing guns at Brother Yu," Liu Yuhang said urgently.
"What?" Tie Zhuzi was driving, and upon hearing this, he nearly crashed into the car in front of him.
"What did you say? Say it again," Tie Zhuzi shouted.
Liu Yuhang quickly explained the situation.
"I’ll be there right away." Tie Zhuzi tossed his phone aside and sped towards the hotel.
Liu Yuhang didn’t know who the people were, making him uneasy. Just then, the room door opened, and Xiang Yu walked out first.
Several others followed, all with stern expressions, and so kept their hands in their pockets, seemingly worried Xiang Yu might escape.
"Brother Yu..." Liu Yuhang hurried over.
The people behind Xiang Yu imdiately stopped Liu Yuhang.
"Tell Zhuzi and the others not to worry; I’m going to et Gao Zhitao’s grandfather, it’s no big deal." After speaking, Xiang Yu headed downstairs.
Liu Yuhang knew Gao Zhitao, having treated him before. Hearing it was to et Gao Zhitao’s grandfather, he felt slightly reassured.
About ten minutes later, Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan ran up hurriedly.
"Where are they, where are they?" Tie Zhuzi shouted upon seeing Liu Yuhang standing there confused.
Seeing Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan return, Liu Yuhang felt he had found his backbone and quickly said, "Brother Yu just said Gao Zhitao’s grandfather took him."
Tie Zhuzi looked at Xiao Xuan, both eyes filled with doubt.
They had just returned from the military district; how could Gao Mantang have taken Xiang Yu? Tie Zhuzi picked up his phone and called Gao Zhitao.
"What’s up, already missing after leaving, got so good news to share?" Gao Zhitao said leisurely.
"Bull, listen, your grandfather has taken Brother Yu, handle it yourself. If anything happens to Brother Yu, don’t bla for being impolite to the old man." Tie Zhuzi said angrily.
"What, what did you say, my grandfather took Xiang Yu? Impossible, stop joking." Gao Zhitao didn’t believe Tie Zhuzi’s words at all.
Ordinarily, Gao Mantang liked Xiang Yu and hoped to bring him under his wing; it was unlikely he’d capture him.
"Stop fooling around, hurry and save him. If anything really happens to Brother Yu, I won’t spare you." Tie Zhuzi hung up after speaking.
Gao Zhitao stood there holding his phone, stunned. He didn’t believe Tie Zhuzi but the tone didn’t seem deceptive.
"Could it really be true?" Gao Zhitao wondered.
He pondered for a while, failing to conceive any reason his grandfather would capture Xiang Yu, and then hobbled towards Gao Mantang’s office.
Upon arrival, Gao Mantang was talking to his guard. Noticing Gao Zhitao co in, he dismissed the guard.
With a stern expression, Gao Mantang spoke upon seeing Gao Zhitao, "No need to say anything, return to your room quickly."
Gao Zhitao was taken aback, what’s the situation—he hadn’t spoken yet.
"I..."
"Don’t say anything, leave now, I’ll have soone send you away soon," Gao Mantang said decisively.
"Are you still my grandfather, can’t I say anything?" Gao Zhitao said anxiously.
Gao Zhitao too, feeling pressured, realized Gao Mantang’s stance ant he had indeed taken Xiang Yu.
Seeing Gao Zhitao anxious, Gao Mantang regained so composure; his grandson stood before him, making him aware of his rashness.
"Zhitao, I understand your purpose in coming; right now, before things are clear, he is a major suspect," Gao Mantang explained.
"What are you saying? I don’t understand a bit. I’m just here visiting, why are you anxious?" Gao Zhitao frowned.
"..." Gao Mantang chuckled weakly, then looked at Gao Zhitao, "Weren’t you here to plead?"
"Plead for whom? What plea?" Gao Zhitao feigned ignorance.
"It’s nothing," Gao Mantang coughed lightly and sat back.
Gao Zhitao moved over, sitting on the desk, "Are you hiding sothing from ? No, there must be sothing going on."
Shaking his head, Gao Mantang replied, "Nothing’s going on, just busy work lately, my mind’s scrambled."
Saying so, Gao Mantang sat there, holding his forehead.
Just then, soone knocked outside.
"Co in," Gao Mantang said sternly, sitting upright.
"Report to the general," soone saluted, then noticed Gao Zhitao standing there.
The entrant turned out to be the third battalion’s commander, Zhang Dacheng.
"Let’s go to my study," Gao Mantang said, standing and turning towards the study.
"Can’t say sothing in front of ?" Gao Zhitao said disdainfully, watching Gao Mantang.
He was now sure; grandfather had taken Xiang Yu; otherwise, he wouldn’t avoid him.
"Military secret," Gao Mantang stated, entering first.
Zhang Dacheng glanced at Gao Zhitao then followed inside.
Gao Zhitao didn’t leave but sat there waiting; he wanted to clarify why Xiang Yu was taken.
Doubtful his grandfather wanted Xiang Yu under him, Xiang Yu refused, and thus forcibly taken.
Though absurd sounding, Gao Zhitao truly believed his grandfather capable.
Approximately ten minutes later, Zhang Dacheng exited. He nodded at Gao Zhitao then left.
Seeing Gao Zhitao still there, Gao Mantang spoke, "Go mind your affairs, stop loitering around."
"You took Xiang Yu," Gao Zhitao said seriously.
Gao Mantang wasn’t surprised, looking seriously at him, "Indeed, I took him."
Hearing his grandfather say this, Gao Zhitao felt unsettled, "You like Xiang Yu but can’t retain him this way; you’ll make him angrier."
Gao Mantang shook his head, "Not what you think."
