"If there’s anything you need help with, just say it directly," said Gao Mantang.
Xiang Yu was a junior he liked. Without Xiang Yu, perhaps his grandson Gao Zhitao would still be an aimless child.
"I’m going to need so things, and I hope to get them from you," Xiang Yu asked.
Seeing Xiang Yu so serious, Gao Mantang beca serious too, asking, "Is it guns?"
Xiang Yu shook his head, "So military equipnt, night vision goggles, binoculars..."
Xiang Yu listed a lot of equipnt, all essentials for field armies. However, Xiang Yu had little contact with arms dealers, making these items hard to acquire.
But Gao Mantang, a high-ranking officer in the military, should have no problem obtaining these things.
Gao Mantang frowned slightly as he listened, then stood up. Getting these items wasn’t a problem, the key issue was understanding what Xiang Yu wanted them for.
Moreover, many equipnt items Xiang Yu ntioned were internal military assets that outsiders wouldn’t know about, proving Xiang Yu’s expertise.
"What are you planning?" Gao Mantang asked with a frown.
"They’ll serve a purpose," Xiang Yu said vaguely.
Gao Mantang took a deep breath, then nodded. "No problem. I trust you."
He had doubted Xiang Yu before, causing tension between them, but this ti Gao Mantang chose to trust him.
He vaguely rembered that Xiang Yu had once promised him that he’d bring his son back.
Perhaps now was ti to fulfill that promise.
"Be careful," Gao Mantang said with worry as he looked at Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu nodded but didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to make any promises to Gao Mantang because he wasn’t even confident about coming back, let alone rescuing his son Gao Lianfeng.
"Do you want to send people with you?" Gao Mantang asked.
Xiang Yu shook his head in refusal. At first, he thought strength lay in numbers and wanted to take the Tianlong squad with him. Even if they were discovered, they could force their way in.
Additionally, Xiang Yu decided to join the Hong Clan partly because of that, as they had the manpower he could rally.
But analyzing the reports from Yuan Huai revealed that the matter involved Commander Cao from the military, aning it was connected to military affairs.
Given that, bringing more people would be futile. Compared to the military, their forces were nothing.
"I’ll have soone deliver them to you tonight," said Gao Mantang.
Xiang Yu smiled and nodded,
They exchanged so pleasantries before Xiang Yu got up to leave.
Gao Mantang stood behind, watching Xiang Yu’s back, finally sighing, "Take care."
When Xiang Yu returned to his place, only Xiao Xuan was sitting there on the phone.
Seeing Xiang Yu walk in, Xiao Xuan blushed and quickly said, "Bro is back, I’ll hang up now."
"Hey, what’s it matter if the Sect Leader is back, you’re still..."
Before the other side finished speaking, Xiao Xuan hung up abruptly.
Xiang Yu could tell the voice on the other end was Leng Chan’s. It seed the two had developed feelings for each other back at the Hong Clan’s headquarters in City Number Seven.
"Leng Chan is a good girl, make sure to cherish her," Xiang Yu said to Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan blushed again and said nothing.
"Where’s Zhuzi and the others?" Xiang Yu asked, seeing Xiao Xuan still shy, as he changed the topic.
"Just now, Gao Zhitao ca and called him away," Xiao Xuan replied.
Xiang Yu acknowledged it with a hum and went to his room to rest.
After seeing Xiang Yu resting, Xiao Xuan quickly took out his phone and called back.
"I’m mad, what are you going to do about it?" Leng Chan teased from the other end.
It was hard to imagine soone perceived as an ice beauty would talk this way.
Xiao Xuan, not good with words, stamred for a long ti without saying anything.
Leng Chan, on the other hand, giggled, then playfully called him a fool and continued chatting casually.
When Tie Zhuzi and Gao Zhitao returned, it was already evening. They were both drunk, with bruises on their faces, clearly having been in a fight.
They returned, each blaming the other for what happened.
Xiao Xuan, uninterested in the bickering, stayed seated without moving. Just then, soone arrived with a delivery in military vehicles.
Two n carried a box into the living room.
"Who is Xiang Yu?" one of them asked.
"He’s sleeping," Xiao Xuan quickly stood up to reply.
"We need to hand it to him in person," the man said sternly, standing upright, indicating the contents of the box were significant.
"No need; just leave it with ," Gao Zhitao swayed as he rose from the couch to say.
Seeing Gao Zhitao there, the two soldiers’ expressions softened, and they smiled at him.
"General Gao told us to deliver this to soone nad Xiang Yu," said one of the soldiers.
"He’s Xiang Yu; you can leave it here," Gao Zhitao pointed at the seated Tie Zhuzi.
The two soldiers nodded and then turned to leave.
"Zhuzi, hurry up, let’s see what’s in there," Gao Zhitao exclaid with curiosity.
Tie Zhuzi, also curious, quickly approached to open the box.
When they opened it, both were stunned to see guns, grenades, ropes, night vision goggles...
"What does Xiang Yu want with this stuff?" Gao Zhitao, sobering up, finally asked.
"Obviously for wooing girls, can’t you tell?" Tie Zhuzi looked at Gao Zhitao with disdain, then pulled him down to sit on the couch.
Xiao Xuan pushed the box to the side. Gao Zhitao was puzzled but didn’t ask more, planning to ask Xiang Yu when he ca over.
They sat there chatting about random things until they fell asleep unknowingly.
He woke up not knowing how long he had slept, feeling sore all over.
When he got up, he had a blanket over him and a glass of water in front. As he stretched, he noticed the quietness around him and shouted, "Tie Zhuzi, where the hell are you?"
After checking each room and finding them all empty, he saw a note on the table: You sleep like a pig; no wonder no girl likes you...
Gao Zhitao crumpled the note angrily and threw it away.
"Xiang Yu, you guys are jerks, leaving without informing," he shouted.
On the highway, Xiao Xuan drove straight toward City Number One.
City Number One held many mories for Xiang Yu. He had to let go of everything before he could move on.
Shi Jian heard Xiang Yu had returned and inford many people.
When Xiang Yu arrived at Shi Jian’s, the place was full of people, all delighted to see him.
These were people Xiang Yu t upon first entering the city and felt a special bond with, like family. No matter how long they were apart, they’d always feel naturally close upon eting.
"Xiang Yu, I’m planning to get married," Shi Jian said sweetly, holding Wu Yue’s hand.
Wu Yue was Feng Lan’s sister-in-arms and a forr comrade. They had been bearing the stigma of being deserters...
