Tie Zhuzi sped towards the hospital in a frenzy. In the car, Xiao Xuan called Liu Yuhang.
When Liu Yuhang received Xiao Xuan’s call, his heart suddenly sank, feeling sothing ominous had happened.
"What’s the matter?" Liu Yuhang asked directly.
"Brother got injured, you need to prepare for surgery..." Xiao Xuan explained Xiang Yu’s situation briefly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuhang instantly beca anxious. Injuring the main artery isn’t a small issue; any slight negligence could lead to life-threatening consequences.
On the way, Liu Yuhang instructed Xiao Xuan on a series of procedures to stabilize Xiang Yu and stop the rapid loss of blood.
Liu Yuhang was currently in City Number Two, unable to co over in ti, but he had already made preparations there.
Xiang Yu would be temporarily treated over there before coming back.
After this incident, on the surface, nothing seed to change in City Number Five, but everyone in the underworld knew that many major forces had withdrawn from there.
anwhile, smaller factions took advantage of the situation, frequently engaging in theft and robbery at night.
At this ti, Hong Jinbao was sitting alone at the Hongn headquarters in City Number Seven, sipping tea.
This incident had a certain impact on his psyche, but not a significant one. He only felt sowhat regretful.
Xiang Yu was not his sole designated candidate, but judging from Xiang Yu’s performance, he was very likely to be elected. Now, he had been severely injured in his own design.
In this way, even if he doesn’t die, it’s impossible for him to recover within ten days. This candidate position is out of the question for him.
Without Xiang Yu’s participation, the conference would lose so excitent. His priority now was to ensure the safety of other candidates.
Just as he was leisurely sipping tea, soone brought over a phone.
Hong Jinbao took the call and saw it was from Jin Guozhong.
"Sect Leader, Xiang Yu has been transferred to the hospital, now moved to City Number Two," Jin Guozhong said.
Hong Jinbao nodded and said, "I know, you should co back now. The Hall Master conference will be held in ten days; you should start preparing."
"But Xiang Yu, he..."
"There’s no hope for him anymore; give up on him," Hong Jinbao said calmly.
Jin Guozhong wanted to say sothing but ultimately didn’t, simply responding with an "um" before hanging up.
At this mont, Yuan Huai was standing by Jin Guozhong’s side, feeling a bit disappointed after listening. He believed he had hard Xiang Yu, who was still in a coma, and it was uncertain when he would wake up; even if he did, he likely wouldn’t have the ability to compete for the candidate position.
"Truly a pity," Jin Guozhong sighed and said, "If there’s a chance, I really wanted to beco sworn brothers with Xiang Yu."
Yuan Huai also shook his head with a smile and said, "You should go back; I will head to City Number Two with Xiang Yu and them."
"You’re not coming with us?" Jin Guozhong said, sowhat reluctantly.
Yuan Huai chuckled bitterly, waving his head, "I’ve already left Hongn; I’m no longer one of them. It’s not suitable for to go back now."
"I don’t know if we’ll et again in ten days," Jin Guozhong smiled and said.
Yuan Huai just smiled without speaking; whether they’d et again in ten days depended on Xiang Yu’s recovery, although it seed unlikely.
"Goodbye," Yuan Huai said, walking towards the outside.
At that mont, Yuan Huai seed vibrant, his eyes gleaming, contrasting sharply with his previous drunken state.
Watching Yuan Huai’s departing figure, Jin Guozhong was a bit stunned, feeling as if Yuan Huai had changed, though he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly had changed.
After seeing Yuan Huai leave, he too departed. The Hall Master conference was about to comnce, and they would select a candidate simultaneously.
There would undoubtedly be chaos; he needed to arrange everything properly.
On the third day after the incident, Sky Thief Rat was undergoing treatnt at a central hospital in a city.
"Doctor, how is it?" Sky Thief Rat said, lying on the hospital bed.
"Your leg has recovered well; it won’t be long before you can stand up," the doctor said with a smile.
"Thank you," Sky Thief Rat said with much happiness.
The doctor nodded, smiled, and then walked out.
A person beside Sky Thief Rat then asked, "Hall Master, should we send soone to take care of Xiang Yu and his group?"
Although on the surface, their matters with Xiang Yu had concluded, the grudges between them weren’t so easily resolved.
"Xiang Yu absolutely can’t live, but not now," Sky Thief Rat said with a wicked smile, "After the candidate competition is over, we’ll deal with them properly, and then I’ll see who dares to stop ."
The person also nodded; after all, their issue with Xiang Yu was just a minor matter. Ten days later, they could go straight over and handle Xiang Yu’s group.
"How are things on Fang Xiaoming’s side?" Sky Thief Rat asked.
"Everything is in order there; without Xiang Yu’s participation, no one can beat him for the candidate position," the person said.
"Good," Sky Thief Rat laughed contentedly, as if everything was under his control.
Ten days passed quickly, and during this ti, many cities south of the Yangtze were very peaceful, with no gang conflicts or inexplicable car accidents; everything seed so natural.
But so people knew that behind this calm, a huge crisis was brewing.
On the ninth day, a lot of people started pouring into City Number Seven. They ca from different places, with various accents.
The hotel business was unusually booming, and, in addition, even so won in auxiliary ventures were bustling with work.
In the city’s southernmost area, there was a villa nad ’Hongxing Villa’, a large estate with all the facilities readily available.
At that mont, in an indoor shooting range within the villa, several people were firing guns ’bang bang’.
An elderly man fired three consecutive shots, all hitting the bullseye, showcasing his superb shooting skills.
"Chief of Hongn, your skills are still as good as ever," comnted Jin Guozhong, walking over.
The elder was Hong Jinbao, the Chief of Hongn, who waved his hand and said, "Not really, I’m getting old. Now three consecutive shots already tire out."
Hong Jinbao spoke and then sat aside, taking a sip of water. He then turned to Jin Guozhong and asked, "How are the arrangents going?"
Jin Guozhong nodded and said, "Everything is arranged." After speaking, his eyes dimd a bit, and he added, "Pity Xiang Yu can’t make it; he is indeed a talent."
Hong Jinbao simply smiled and shook his head, saying, "Everyone has their fate; this must be destiny."
The two chatted for quite a while, fired a few more shots, and then went to rest.
The Hall Master conference was to start the next day. In the afternoon, Hall Masters kept arriving to et Hong Jinbao.
Usually, they were in different cities, making it hard to et; today was an opportunity to pay respects.
Of course, so didn’t show up. Holy Mouse Hall’s Sky Thief Rat and Purgatory Hall’s Yu Honghao didn’t co, and Golden Hand Hall’s Jin Zhengming only stayed for a short while before leaving.
He knew what he’d done regarding Xiang Yu couldn’t be hidden from Hong Jinbao...
