Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Soone Wants to Kill Xiang Yu
The matters of Holy Mouse Hall have been resolved, so the Hongn essentially has no internal issues. However, Xiang Yu couldn’t shake off a strange feeling in his heart.
It was an indescribable feeling. He was now the Sect Leader of Hongn, but he always felt as if sothing was amiss, unsure of where the problem lay.
“Problem solved?” Yuan Huai approached upon seeing Xiang Yu return.
Xiang Yu nodded without speaking and then went back to his office.
Now that things at Hongn were settled, the Qing Gang wouldn’t take any actions for the ti being. Xiang Yu planned to stabilize things here a bit more before heading to City Six to deal with unresolved issues.
What was wrong with Commander Cao, and why was his comrade Qing Lang still alive? These questions troubled Xiang Yu deeply, and he had to get to the bottom of them.
Having nothing to do during the day, Xiang Yu went to bed at nine o’clock at night, and everyone else went to rest as well.
With Hongn stabilized, Xiang Yu felt he hadn’t let Hong Jinbao down.
The black night at Hongxing Villa was quiet, as if everything was calm, with no turmoil at all.
In the night, a shadow slowly approached Xiang Yu’s villa, appearing very familiar with the place. He knew where the night guards were and where the caras were, and skillfully avoided them all.
Arriving in front of the building, the shadow slipped into Xiang Yu’s villa and waited quietly by the door for a while, before heading upstairs.
The shadow skillfully entered the room where Xiang Yu was sleeping and drew a shiny dagger from his waist.
He slowly approached Xiang Yu, and just as he was a ter away, he suddenly lunged at Xiang Yu.
The posture indicated an intent to kill in one strike.
Just when the dagger was about to reach Xiang Yu’s neck, Xiang Yu suddenly kicked out at the assailant.
The assailant was caught off guard by a kick to the chest and fell two ters away. The shadow thought Xiang Yu was awake, and ran towards the window.
As he was about to jump out the window, he suddenly noticed Xiang Yu hadn’t moved at all.
Turning back, he saw Xiang Yu was sleeping soundly.
“Somnambulism?” the shadowed man thought, then climbed back in through the window and approached Xiang Yu again.
Xiang Yu indeed hadn’t woken up. The man, his gaze turning cold, stealthily brought the dagger closer to Xiang Yu’s neck.
Sure enough, Xiang Yu lay there without moving. The man was overjoyed, and just as the dagger was about to touch Xiang Yu, he thrust it fiercely downward.
At the crucial mont, Xiang Yu rolled his body, avoiding the dagger, and again kicked the man, striking him squarely in the head.
He kicked the man in black aside, and at the sa ti, a shiny dagger appeared in Xiang Yu’s hand, which he swung towards the man in black.
The man in black was shocked, quickly dodging while swinging his own dagger toward Xiang Yu’s head.
Xiang Yu instinctively dodged and then sat up with a start.
Xiang Yu’s dagger sliced the man’s shoulder and pinned to the wall.
Seeing Xiang Yu awake, the man in black hesitated no more and directly jumped out the window.
At this mont, Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi burst in from outside. Seeing the room in disarray and a dagger stuck in the wall beside Xiang Yu, they understood imdiately.
Xiao Xuan didn’t stop and leapt straight out the window, while Tie Zhuzi looked around the room to ensure there was no danger before approaching Xiang Yu’s bed.
Xiang Yu was groggily awakening at this point.
“What are you doing in my room?” Xiang Yu said groggily.
“Bro, soone tried to assassinate you,” Tie Zhuzi said seriously.
Xiang Yu wasn’t surprised, still appearing half-asleep, nodding, and said, “Tell Xiao Xuan not to chase.”
“Yu, weren’t you awake just now?” Tie Zhuzi asked in surprise.
“I was asleep,” Xiang Yu glanced around before pushing Tie Zhuzi away and continued to sleep.
Tie Zhuzi: “…”
Seeing Xiang Yu lie down again, Tie Zhuzi shut the door and windows before leaving.
As he ca out, he saw Xiao Xuan leading people in a search.
“Yu said not to investigate,” Tie Zhuzi said.
“Is he alright? I’ll go check on him,” Xiao Xuan said, ready to head upstairs.
“Yu is asleep, be careful,” Tie Zhuzi warned.
Xiao Xuan coughed lightly and said, “I’ll leave it until tomorrow then.”
They both knew how dangerous Xiang Yu was while sleeping, but apparently, the assassin did not.
Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan stayed awake all night, guarding outside Xiang Yu’s building. Tie Zhuzi at the front, and Xiao Xuan at the back.
The next day, Xiang Yu woke up early to exercise, with Yuan Huai beside him.
Yuan Huai’s body had mostly recovered, and returning to peak condition was just a matter of ti.
“Be careful these days, last night was dangerous,” Yuan Huai said.
“There are many people who want to kill ; these few don’t matter,” Xiang Yu said calmly.
Yuan Huai was used to Xiang Yu’s attitude. Seeing the scars on Xiang Yu’s body, he knew Xiang Yu had been through life’s storms, so this detached view of life and death was normal.
“There’s sothing I’ve been wanting to ask you,” Yuan Huai looked at Xiang Yu and said, “Where did you learn this set of martial arts? I feel like my strength increases daily.”
“Self-taught,” Xiang Yu replied casually.
Seeing Xiang Yu didn’t want to say more, Yuan Huai didn’t press on and continued exercising with him.
After exercising, at nine in the morning, Xiang Yu gathered everyone together.
There were Tie Zhuzi, Xiao Xuan, Jin Guozhong, Leng Chan, Tao Dachang, and Yuan Huai.
“You all heard what happened last night, right? Who do you think wants to kill ?” Xiang Yu calmly drank his water.
Jin Guozhong spoke first, “Yesterday, most Holy Mouse Hall mbers had already disbanded and gone ho. So joined us, and a part is missing.”
Jin Guozhong paused and continued, “I suspect these people are involved.”
“I agree,” Tao Dachang quickly added, “the Holy Mouse Hall mbers are a bunch of scumbags; we shouldn’t spare them.”
Everyone was a bit surprised when Tao Dachang, usually quiet, expressed his opinion.
“Holy Mouse Hall is part of our Hongn. The mbers are our brothers; we shouldn’t see them through tinted glasses. Guozhong, rember to treat those who joined your enforcent team well,” Xiang Yu said sternly to Jin Guozhong.
If this isn’t handled properly, it could plant hidden dangers within Hongn.
“I understand, don’t worry, Sect Leader,” Jin Guozhong said.
Everyone shared their views, while Leng Chan sat silently throughout.
“Do you have anything to say?” Xiang Yu asked Leng Chan.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Leng Chan at once…
