Yu Honghao, the Hall Master of Purgatory Hall, saw Jin Zhengming supporting his viewpoint, and only then did he sit up straight and cast an earnest gaze at him.
"I still hold the sa view. Just get rid of him, end of story," Yu Honghao said.
Jin Zhengming shook his head and said, "Xiang Yu is the candidate personally appointed by the Sect Leader. If we act now, wouldn’t it be obvious that soone is trying to stir trouble?"
"Then what do you suggest?" Yu Honghao asked.
Jin Zhengming thought for a mont, then looked at Sky Thief Rat and said, "Aren’t you always the smart one? What do you think we should do about this?"
Sky Thief Rat sneered and said, "As far as I know, this guy nad Xiang Yu has an acquaintance in this city. I’ve already figured out her address."
Sky Thief Rat stopped talking at this point, and the others nodded in agreent.
They were part of a major gang, and they used to look down on threatening people. But they had to admit that sotis this thod was the most effective.
The four of them discussed for less than an hour, then each took on their respective roles and began preparations.
Currently, aside from exercising, Xiang Yu spends his ti sleeping. Jin Guozhong had told him to be careful, clearly hinting at sothing.
Now, in this city, there were only Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi. He feared nothing, which allowed him to act recklessly.
Of course, there was also Yuan Huai. Yuan Huai used to be the Deputy Sect Leader of Hongn. Although he had since retired, Xiang Yu believed that no one dared touch him for the ti being.
After lunch, Xiang Yu was ready to take a nap when suddenly the phone rang. It was Xiaoxuan calling.
"Bro, I’m okay now," Xiaoxuan said right away.
Xiang Yu felt relieved upon receiving Xiaoxuan’s call. The reason he stirred trouble with Hongn was because of Xiaoxuan’s injury.
"Good to hear you’re okay. Take a good rest in City No. 2," Xiang Yu said.
"I want to co over to see you," Xiaoxuan said.
"Don’t co just yet; I have so matters to handle here. Wait until I’ve finished them, then you can co," Xiang Yu said.
The two talked about many things that had happened recently, and finally, Xiaoxuan decided not to co for now.
"By the way, have you seen Wang Qian these past few days? Did she go back?" Xiang Yu suddenly thought of this little lady and couldn’t help but ask.
For so reason, he suddenly had a strong feeling that Wang Qian hadn’t left this place.
Xiaoxuan paused for a mont and then said, "I haven’t seen her."
Xiang Yu didn’t pursue the topic further, and after casually chatting for a few more minutes, they hung up.
Thinking about Wang Qian filled Xiang Yu with inexplicable anxiety. She ca to find him, and if sothing were to happen, half the responsibility would be his.
Wang Qian belongs to Wolf Fang. If Wolf Fang were to co over in a fury, wouldn’t it shock the world?
Of course, Xiang Yu wasn’t afraid of such things. Although Wang Qian always acted fiercely towards him, Xiang Yu knew she wasn’t really bad, just acting tough.
With this thought, Xiang Yu took out his phone and called Wang Qian. After two rings, she picked up.
"What do you want? Why are you calling ? Are you crazy?" Wang Qian said fiercely.
Hearing Wang Qian’s yelling, Xiang Yu felt relieved and then chuckled and said, "Where are you now?"
"What does it matter where I am? You’re being nosy," Wang Qian said.
Xiang Yu had ntioned his girlfriend would co to see him, but after Wang Qian’s observations, no woman had co, except for Poison Rose. This made Wang Qian furious, as it seed like an attempt to drive her away.
"I’m not nosy, bye," Xiang Yu said, preparing to hang up.
"Wait," suddenly Wang Qian shouted, "You think you can call whenever you want and hang up whenever you want, huh? Who do you think you are, humph!"
After saying her piece, Wang Qian hung up first.
Xiang Yu held the phone and helplessly shook his head with a smile. Wang Qian was just saying one thing but aning another, genuinely missing Xiang Yu in her heart but speaking as if she was filled with fury.
Since Wang Qian was fine, Xiang Yu was relieved and set down the phone, ready to sleep.
But hardly had he laid down when the phone rang again. Xiang Yu picked it up to see it was Wang Qian’s number.
Xiang Yu was quite helpless, thinking Wang Qian surely hadn’t finished venting and wanted to yell a few more tis.
"What’s wrong?" Xiang Yu asked directly upon answering.
"Are you Xiang Yu?" a stranger’s voice said slowly.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu swiftly sat up from the bed. He checked the phone again; it was indeed Wang Qian’s number. How could it suddenly beco a man’s voice?
"Don’t hurt her. Whatever the issue is, co at ," Xiang Yu already sensed sothing and said directly.
"Pretty smart, since you care so much about her, be at the central square in ten minutes. There’s an underground parking lot there; that’s where you go, and don’t try any tricks," the man said and then hung up.
Xiang Yu jumped off the bed and called Tie Zhuzi as he ran outside.
Tie Zhuzi didn’t know what had happened, but seeing Xiang Yu’s expression, he seed to have an inkling.
"Brother Yu, don’t rush. We can’t fall into their trap," Tie Zhuzi reminded him from the car.
Xiang Yu took a deep breath and nodded. They had indeed gone after Wang Qian. He was worried about this all along, which was why he wanted Wang Qian to leave first.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qian hadn’t left and had instead been targeted by the other side. The matter stemd from him; he didn’t want any innocent person to get caught up.
Now that Wang Qian was captured, he was determined to rescue her no matter the cost.
Xiang Yu’s first thought was that this was orchestrated by people from Hongn, and most likely instructed by Sect Leader Hong Jinbao.
In order to make Xiang Yu a candidate for Hongn, they captured Wang Qian to threaten him.
This thought ford in Xiang Yu’s mind instantly, but after sitting in the car and calming down slightly, he felt sothing was off.
Hong Jinbao wasn’t a fool; if he truly wanted Xiang Yu to be a candidate, he wouldn’t target his friends. Doing so would only anger Xiang Yu.
In this city, apart from themselves, there were the people of Hongn. If it wasn’t Hong Jinbao, then who else could it be?
Xiang Yu couldn’t make sense of this, but thinking more now was pointless. He would find out the truth once he got there.
Sitting in the car, Xiang Yu said nothing, plotting various scenarios. Should anything happen to Wang Qian, he would seek revenge at all costs.
Wang Qian was a mber of Wolf Fang. If sothing were to happen, Wolf Fang might also get involved.
Arriving at the square, Tie Zhuzi drove straight to the underground parking lot. It was eerily quiet inside, as if no one was there.
But Xiang Yu could feel that there were lots of people ambushed around, so hiding in cars, others behind columns.
Entering the underground parking lot, Xiang Yu jumped out of the car and shouted, "I’m here, co out!"
The sound echoed through the parking lot, but there was no movent, making it seem as if there weren’t any people.
Tie Zhuzi stood beside Xiang Yu and whispered, "Are we at the wrong place?"
