Chapter 1233: Chapter 1233: Returned to the Hongn Once More
The al went very smoothly, everyone was enjoying drinks and having a great ti.
After the al, Xiang Yu pulled Gao Mantang into a room. The others knew that Xiang Yu had sothing to discuss with the old man and stood outside without entering.
“Xiang Yu, thank you so much this ti. I, Gao Mantang, owe you one,” Gao Mantang said sincerely.
Xiang Yu shook his head and said, “I rescued him incidentally, it’s not worth ntioning. I’m here today mainly to ask for your help with sothing.”
Gao Mantang nodded and said, “Is it about you becoming a wanted man? Don’t worry, as long as you stay here, I guarantee no one will dare to touch you.”
Gao Mantang spoke very dominantly, as long as it was under his roof, he could ensure Xiang Yu’s safety.
Xiang Yu was sowhat surprised that Gao Mantang even knew about this. This ant that not only the police were after him, but even the military had issued a warrant for Xiang Yu.
At the sa ti, this moved Xiang Yu a bit. Both Gao Mantang and Gao Zhitao knew he was a wanted man but still kept him here for a al—this was the legendary “knowingly committing a cri”.
If outsiders reported them, the Gao family would get into a lot of unnecessary trouble.
“What I wanted to tell you is sothing else,” Xiang Yu said with a serious expression. “Do you know Commander Cao?”
Gao Mantang thought for a mont, shook his head, then nodded and said, “I do know soone by that na, why?”
Xiang Yu then said, “Commander Cao holds a high position, but he’s a spy from an enemy nation. He’s done many heinous things dostically. Gao Lianfeng’s disappearance is linked to them; they’re conducting experints on humans, and now the tests have succeeded. We don’t know what’s going to happen next.”
Hearing this, Gao Mantang frowned and said, “Are you sure about this? This is not child’s play; if this gets leaked, it will cause chaos.”
Xiang Yu nodded and said, “I know, this matter is absolutely true. Today I ca to you hoping to use your influence to take this person down.”
Gao Mantang realized the seriousness of the issue and stood up from the sofa.
He was no longer questioning Xiang Yu but weighing the situation with this Commander Cao.
Clearly, everything within the military was good, and this Commander Cao was an intelligence operative infiltrated by an enemy country.
Gao Mantang contemplated that if he didn’t intervene, it wouldn’t affect him at all, but if he did, there would be so risk.
At worst, he might get counter-attacked by the enemy; personally, it wouldn’t affect him much. Having lived so long, he’s lived enough.
But his children were still in the military, and he worried Commander Cao might retaliate against them.
Yet the deep sense of justice within him kept reminding him that this matter involved national security and must be thoroughly investigated.
Seeing Gao Mantang hesitating, Xiang Yu stood up and said, “Of course, this matter is very dangerous. It’s understandable if you don’t want to take the risk.”
After saying that, Xiang Yu prepared to leave, thinking that even if this path didn’t work, he would eventually make Commander Cao’s situation public.
“Wait.” Gao Mantang saw Xiang Yu about to leave and suddenly said, “Leave this matter to . If anyone intends to harm my great China, I will absolutely not let them off.”
Gao Mantang’s eyes glistened with determination, and his face was resolute.
At that mont, Xiang Yu saw the majesty of a Chinese soldier and the character of a military man, which greatly inspired him.
“I leave this matter to you,” Xiang Yu said gratefully.
Walking out of the military, Xiang Yu felt much lighter. Gao Mantang had significant influence in the military, with his intervention, Commander Cao wouldn’t be able to jump around for much longer.
Gao Zhitao saw Xiang Yu about to leave and quickly chased after him, then jumped into Xiang Yu’s car directly.
“What are you doing, get down,” Tie Zhuzi said, giving Gao Zhitao a sidelong glance.
Gao Zhitao just chuckled and shalessly closed the car door.
Tie Zhuzi rolled his eyes at him, said nothing, and then drove away.
“You’re a dangerous person now; you’re not allowed to go anywhere,” Gao Zhitao said, looking at Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu nodded obediently and said, “Understood.”
Gao Zhitao looked at Xiang Yu in surprise. Since when did Xiang Yu beco so well-behaved? This was different from the Xiang Yu he knew; but in any case, as long as Xiang Yu behaved, everything was fine.
“Stop the car.” After they drove for a while, Xiang Yu suddenly said.
“Why stop?” Gao Zhitao asked, puzzled.
At that mont, Xiang Yu suddenly opened the other car door and kicked Gao Zhitao out before he could react.
Tie Zhuzi chuckled, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
Gao Zhitao got up from the ground and pointed at the car, cursing, “Xiang Yu, you bastard! I was doing this for your own good.”
But by then, Tie Zhuzi had long driven out of sight.
It was already five o’clock in the afternoon, and Tie Zhuzi drove straight towards City Number Seven. City Number Two was 400 kiloters away from City Number Seven, and Tie Zhuzi reached there in three hours.
When their car appeared at Hongn headquarters, they were stopped. Xiang Yu rolled down the window and greeted the people below, and they were let through.
The gatekeepers saw that it was Xiang Yu, and they got excited. Although they didn’t know what had happened, they knew there was a crisis in Hongn now.
Every one of them felt a bit uneasy, especially since the Sect Leader hadn’t appeared in a long ti, resulting in many rumors.
So said the Sect Leader had been assassinated, putting Hongn in jeopardy.
Others said the Sect Leader had been captured by soone.
With Jin Guozhong being under house arrest, the anxiety only grew stronger. Seeing their Sect Leader return today, they were overjoyed.
This indicated that the earlier rumors were false and not to be believed.
With his sheer power, Xiang Yu unified the previously scattered Hongn. He had significant prestige among the people below, serving as a role model for the younger generation.
Yuan Huai and the others were waiting for Xiang Yu. When they got the call from the gatekeeper saying Xiang Yu was back, they couldn’t help but stand outside to greet him, feeling excited.
When Xiang Yu’s car stopped, Yuan Huai was the first to rush over, giving Xiang Yu a punch in the chest.
“You’re finally back,” Yuan Huai said excitedly.
The others were also quite excited. For so reason, when they saw Xiang Yu, they felt a sense of reliance.
It was like children without guidance seeing their parents.
After exchanging pleasantries, they entered the villa and sat down.
“Where’s Guozhong?” Xiang Yu asked, glancing around without seeing Jin Guozhong.
The others remained silent and turned their gaze to Yuan Huai.
Currently, Jin Guozhong was suspected of being a Qing Gang spy and had been placed under house arrest by Yuan Huai. Therefore, Yuan Huai hadn’t inford him of Xiang Yu’s return…
