Chapter 1182: Chapter 1182: Yuan Huai Narrowly Escapes Death
Xiang Yu awkwardly coughed before speaking, “Actually, this trip was really tiring. Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. It’s better to rest at ho.”
“Yeah, I know it was exhausting. Looks like you all gained so weight this ti back,” Yuan Huai reluctantly said.
Xiang Yu just chuckled and didn’t continue the topic.
“Has anything happened recently?” Xiang Yu asked.
Yuan Huai shook his head, “Everything’s fine. It’s just that Sun Bo ca looking for you, but left when he saw you weren’t around.”
“Did he say anything?” Xiang Yu asked.
“No,” Yuan Huai replied straightforwardly.
Xiang Yu nodded, paused for a mont, and then said sowhat seriously, “I have a few questions for you.”
Seeing Xiang Yu in this state, Yuan Huai knew the questions wouldn’t be simple.
“Is it about Han Feng being captured?” Yuan Huai asked directly.
Even though Xiang Yu hadn’t asked before, Yuan Huai knew Xiang Yu had been keeping this matter in his heart.
Han Feng had once saved Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu left with Han Feng, it was to investigate certain matters. Now Han Feng hadn’t returned, but Xiang Yu had. Yuan Huai felt a bit guilty.
“Tell about what happened at that ti,” Xiang Yu leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes.
Yuan Huai nodded, then found a comfortable position and said, “We started investigating from the ** military district.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat. Now that he had gone through life and death tests multiple tis, he was trained to remain calm and collected, with few things able to stir him.
But hearing his own military district ntioned, he couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. Soldiers are quite fond of the past.
“We first got to know an officer there, inviting him out for drinks and chats every day, gradually getting to know so of his friends.”
“We heard about soone with the codena ‘Eagle’.”
At this point, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but open his eyes, because that codena was his.
That codena was casually given by Commander Cao back in the day, but only their squad knew it. Others had no idea.
“How did you find that out?” Xiang Yu asked Yuan Huai.
Yuan Huai could sense the change in Xiang Yu’s emotions, but he didn’t know that ‘Eagle’ was actually Xiang Yu.
“I just happened to hear about his story,” Yuan Huai directly replied, “Eagle’s squad was on a mission, and everyone else was killed in action. Only Eagle survived. But he also died on another mission.”
“Dead?” Xiang Yu asked puzzled.
Yuan Huai nodded and said, “Actually, there are many such stories. We started investigating from this point. From their squad, we traced up to their higher-ups, and finally to the person who issued the orders. Of course, the report of his death was also written by that person.”
“Who?” Xiang Yu asked.
“His surna is Cao. Everyone calls him Commander Cao,” Yuan Huai continued, “We started investigating Commander Cao’s background, but found nothing. Just that he seed a bit special.”
Xiang Yu took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa again.
“We didn’t find anything at all, so Han Feng and I started tailing him. He lived a very regular life, going ho, eating, and sleeping on schedule—nothing unusual,” Yuan Huai said.
“Anything suspicious about him?” Xiang Yu pressed.
“Later, we discovered that Commander Cao would go to City Six once a month and stayed there for two days,” Yuan Huai continued with a sigh, “One ti, the two of us were following him. He went to the mountain area there. We drove and followed from a distance. The road was quite narrow.”
“We saw him enter a cave. We followed but our car tires got punctured as soon as we entered. We knew soone did it intentionally, so we got out and ran. Han Feng, being in good shape, ran ahead. I was not in good shape and lagged behind.”
“We ran for a long ti and thought we were safe, but then we suddenly felt people approaching. We wanted to get away fast, but it was too late.”
“Before we could react, two gunshots sounded from afar. Han Feng and I got shot and fell to the ground. The gun seed to be using tranquilizers. We were both knocked out. But at that mont, I still had a bit of consciousness. I saw a lot of people in white clothes holding guns.”
“They examined Han Feng for a while, then took off his clothes to look, and finally took him away. Instead of taking off my clothes, they found a bottle of alcohol on , kicked once, and said, ‘This one’s useless,’ before leaving.”
At this point, Yuan Huai felt a bit awkward, and after a few dry coughs, continued, “I originally intended to rescue Han Feng before coming back, but given my health at the ti, I was out of breath after a few steps. I stayed there for another month, seeing no progress, and then returned.”
After returning, Xiang Yu knew the rest of the story, so there was no need for Yuan Huai to continue.
After Yuan Huai finished, he paused, wanting to hear Xiang Yu’s conclusion, but after waiting for a long ti, Xiang Yu remained silent.
Xiang Yu just leaned back on the sofa, not moving. Yuan Huai was startled, wondering if this was the recently trendy sudden death.
He slowly stood up and saw Xiang Yu still unmoving, then reached out to feel for a breath under Xiang Yu’s nose.
“No breath?” Yuan Huai panicked and moved closer to check.
“What are you doing?” Suddenly, Xiang Yu opened his eyes and asked.
Yuan Huai jumped in shock and then glared, “Why didn’t you say anything while alive? I thought you were dead.”
“Just thinking,” Xiang Yu sat up straight and said, “Is your story finished?”
“Finished,” Yuan Huai replied unwillingly.
“It’s like you said nothing at all,” Xiang Yu said, standing up and walking to the window.
The things Yuan Huai investigated, Xiang Yu now knew them all. He confird one thing—Commander Cao had connections in City Six, capturing people with strong bodies.
At the ti, Yuan Huai’s body was already weak, so the other side didn’t care and let him go, allowing Yuan Huai to escape with his life.
“Why so deep in thought? Planning to rescue them?” Yuan Huai stood beside Xiang Yu and asked.
Xiang Yu nodded, “Just suddenly rembered so things.”
“What things?” Yuan Huai asked seriously, turning his head to look at Xiang Yu. He knew Xiang Yu was surely a man with stories.
“Once, I forgot to use protection while on a job. Now I think back on it with so fear,” Xiang Yu said with a serious face.
“Xiang Yu, you bastard,” Yuan Huai exclaid, thinking Xiang Yu was going to say sothing big, and had already ntally prepared himself, only for Xiang Yu to co out with this nonsense.
Xiang Yu just gave a relaxed chuckle, pulled Yuan Huai to the sofa and sat down, “Let’s discuss sothing.”
“No way, no discussion. I won’t believe you again,” Yuan Huai said angrily.
“Fine, in that case, I’ll take Long Wu for the mission,” Xiang Yu finished speaking and walked towards the door…
