After Gao Zhitao bantered with Xiang Yu for a while, he finally left. Around seven o’clock in the evening, after they had dinner, Xiang Yu sat there idly watching TV.
Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan went outside to play. Currently, the city is quite stable, partly due to the major crackdown by Gao Zhitao and his team, and partly because Xiang Yu and his group have been playing a significant role.
Xiang Yu lay on the sofa, dozing off as he watched the news. A breaking news story on the ticker suddenly caught his attention.
In a northern city, a bus suddenly exploded, causing ten deaths and dozens of injuries.
Of course, the credibility of the news isn’t very high, as they often downplay the death toll in such reports.
This news wasn’t broadcast directly on TV but appeared as a scrolling ticker, thereby confirming its report without causing more panic.
Upon seeing this news, Xiang Yu quickly got up and went to his computer and specifically searched for this news.
There were many scenes and even videos online from the scene. The video quality was not great and quite shaky.
Xiang Yu found one video with relatively better quality and focused on watching it carefully.
The scene was chaotic; in the footage, a bus was burning, surrounded by a crowd, with so people trying to extinguish the fire.
From this video, there weren’t any visible clues. Just as Xiang Yu was about to close it and open another, he abruptly noticed a young man holding a DV cara, filming the scene.
This appeared like a typical scene, but Xiang Yu felt sothing was off about the guy, prompting him to scrutinize it.
The young man was holding an expensive DV cara, unusual for soone his age, unless he was wealthy or connected.
Xiang Yu paused the video at the back of the man’s neck and zood in. He saw a faint tattoo on the man’s neck.
"They’ve really co," Xiang Yu muttered upon seeing the tattoo, convinced these people were from the Falcon Organization.
They planted bombs on the bus and didn’t rush to leave; instead, they fild the scene with the DV cara.
Thinking about this, Xiang Yu quickly called Gao Zhitao back.
Gao Zhitao hadn’t been gone long when he received Xiang Yu’s call, reluctantly returning.
Arriving at Xiang Yu’s office, noticing Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan weren’t there, he asked mysteriously, "Why did you call back?"
"There’s sothing I need you to do," Xiang Yu replied, then showed the Wolf Fang emblem on the computer to Gao Zhitao.
Gao Zhitao recognized the emblem, glancing at it briefly before asking, "Have they shown up?"
Xiang Yu nodded, "They haven’t arrived yet, but I fear they will soon. You should prepare."
Gao Zhitao didn’t know where Xiang Yu got his information, but Xiang Yu was always accurate with his intel, so Gao Zhitao chose to believe him.
After the last incident, Xiang Yu had already shared all the information he had with Gao Zhitao.
Aware of the gravity of the situation, Gao Zhitao assured, "Don’t worry, if they dare co, they’ll regret it."
Xiang Yu nodded in agreent, signaling Gao Zhitao to start preparing.
Now that Gao Zhitao is the Director of the Public Security Bureau, he’s best suited to handle the preparations.
Like Xiang Yu predicted, the opponent would create chaos after entering the country.
However, they might be disappointed as dostic dia won’t exaggerate even if they orchestrate large explosions. Even if terrorists are identified as the culprits, it won’t be disclosed; instead, they’ll say the bus carried flammable and explosive materials, advising people not to panic.
That’s the dostic situation, where real news reporting is nearly impossible.
This approach has pros and cons. The advantage is it doesn’t create societal panic; only so officials know the truth. The downside is the public stays oblivious to what’s transpired.
Earlier, Gao Mantang discussed sothing with him, which Xiang Yu kept in mind. This matter must be clarified.
But his last trip to the sixth city proved too overwhelming.
Now Xiang Yu accepted his comrades’ deaths, but revisiting the situation when they resurfaced was intolerable for him.
Even though he knows he can’t avert the situation, he must face it, yet Xiang Yu keeps running from it.
Seated there, his mind drifted into a chaotic ss, pondering random thoughts. Once the Falcon Organization issue ends, it’ll be ti to investigate those matters.
Now, Xiang Yu’s in an awkward position, uncertain of his own standing. In the past, he would’ve reported this to Commander Cao without hesitation.
If Commander Cao handled this, he wouldn’t be so concerned. But he no longer trusted Commander Cao, so he had to deal with it himself.
It’s almost been three years since he left; he wonders if Commander Cao rembers their agreent.
Xiang Yu lay on the sofa, eventually falling asleep in a daze. Unknown how long he slept, he woke up to find the room lit, covered in a thin blanket.
"You’re awake." A sweet voice sounded as Long Wu approached, holding chopsticks.
There were two small dishes on the table, likely made by Long Wu himself, judging by their distinct aroma.
"Wash up and have so food." Long Wu smiled.
Seeing her charming smile, Xiang Yu felt content. Even though he had already eaten, he still devoured everything, nearly ending up sick.
After cleaning up, Long Wu said to Xiang Yu, "Why don’t you sit down?"
"I just want to walk around a bit," Xiang Yu replied, pacing back and forth.
He had eaten too much and couldn’t sit down.
Long Wu didn’t mind and continued, "I saw a particularly beautiful child at the mall today."
"Oh!" Xiang Yu responded absent-mindedly.
Long Wu paused for a while before saying, "Aren’t you curious what I’m talking about?"
Xiang Yu realized his aloofness and chuckled, "Did the child wet his pants or sothing?"
Long Wu rolled her eyes at him before explaining, "This little boy was very handso, and he looked a lot like you."
"Maybe he’s my son," Xiang Yu joked, continuing his pacing.
Although Xiang Yu ant it as a joke, Long Wu didn’t laugh. Instead, she seriously remarked, "He really does look like you."
Xiang Yu dismissed it with a shrug; in such a vast world, it’s not uncommon for look-alikes, nothing strange about that.
Seeing Xiang Yu’s disinterest, Long Wu dropped the topic, possibly assuming she overthought it...
