Watching Keru walk out, Rumus had a nagging feeling that sothing was off, but he didn’t think much of it and lay down on the bed to rest.
Back in his own room, Keru paced back and forth, having kept a close eye on Rumus’s expression just now. Rumus’s speech was sowhat hesitant, clearly lying.
This ant that Rumus had already dispatched his own undercover agent. Keru paced a few more tis in the room, finally glancing toward the door.
After confirming that the room door was locked, he took out his phone, opened a software application, and typed a line.
"There’s a mole, investigate imdiately."
After sending the ssage, Keru put his phone away.
At the sa ti, in another city, soone was running fast with a phone in hand.
The ssage was finally delivered to a room in the mountains.
"Report, a ssage has co through on the phone," the person said, handing over the phone.
Down here, there was no signal, so the phone was always placed in a designated spot, securely kept by soone.
The man receiving the phone was about thirty years old, tall and handso.
He took the phone, unlocked the password, and saw the ssage. As soon as he read the words on the screen, his face turned grim.
He gestured for everyone in the room to leave, then used an internal landline to make a call.
"We have a traitor among us, investigate imdiately," he said.
This person was the rebel division’s Commander, Ryan.
"A traitor? How is that possible? All our brothers have been thoroughly vetted," soone said.
"The information is reliable, investigate quickly," Ryan instructed.
"Understood, I’ll arrange for an investigation right away," the person said, about to hang up the phone.
"Wait, has ng Hu been found?" Ryan asked, frowning.
"Not yet. I’ve sent many brothers to search, but he hasn’t been found, it’s like he’s vanished from this world. Even his brothers have no idea where he went."
"Keep looking. A group of people can’t just vanish into thin air," Ryan said.
"Yes," the person replied.
"How’s Scar’s side going?" Ryan asked.
Since Scar was with Forest Wolf, every step Ryan took had to be cautious to avoid creating more trouble for himself.
"He seems to have agreed to work with us. He’s very shrewd, and I fear he won’t be easy to control in the future," the person said with so concern.
"Hmph, I’m eager to see just how legendary this person is," Ryan sneered. "Prepare for the eting in two days; I want to have a good talk with them."
The person acknowledged and then hung up the phone.
Xiang Yu was having his als catered to here; he even used the opportunity to catch up on so sleep.
In the past, Xiang Yu was always busy every day, and now he had the chance to properly rest here, especially with a young woman attending to him.
Of course, Xiang Yu wouldn’t do anything inappropriate. He just had her give him a massage and help him with als and such.
While Xiang Yu was leisurely enjoying his ti there, Tie Zhuzi was getting anxious. He had been ready to rush in and rescue Xiang Yu, but now over a day had passed without any news from Xiang Yu.
"Does this thing even work? If not, just smash it," Tie Zhuzi said, pointing to the tracking device.
Everyone knew he was worried about Xiang Yu and sat on the sofa, not moving.
"Are you guys going to say sothing? Now that Brother Yu’s disappeared without a trace, are you just going to sit here waiting?" Tie Zhuzi shouted.
"Zhuzi, aren’t you tired? Take a break," Wu Jing said.
"I’m not tired. Don’t try to change the subject," Tie Zhuzi replied.
Initially, Wu Jing was also quite worried, but after a day passed without any news from Xiang Yu, this could only an one thing: Xiang Yu was safe.
Xiang Yu was definitely still at the enemy’s base now.
Looking at the map, it was a mountainous area, but the region was too vast, making it difficult to pinpoint Xiang Yu’s exact location.
"So you guys don’t have a solution?" Tie Zhuzi asked, seeing the others silent, then directly headed out.
"Where are you going? Co back," Wu Jing shouted as he saw Tie Zhuzi heading out.
But Tie Zhuzi didn’t listen, continuing to walk outside.
Wu Jing waved his hand and then ran directly toward Tie Zhuzi.
Little Xuan and Ren Qing followed closely behind, running over and grabbing Tie Zhuzi tightly.
Little Xuan sohow found a rope, and while Tie Zhuzi wasn’t paying attention, the three of them tied him up.
"What the hell are you guys doing?" Tie Zhuzi exclaid, realizing he had been tied up.
"Oh, Ren Qing, you little bastard, I trusted you as a brother, and you tead up with these two against ?" Tie Zhuzi shouted, lying on the sofa.
Wu Jing had already discussed with the two that if Tie Zhuzi got too emotional and lost control, they’d tie him up. This was for his own safety.
Ren Qing awkwardly smiled, "Zhuzi, don’t bla . Everyone’s doing this for your good. Don’t get excited now."
"Bullshit, you guys have tied up and claim it’s for my good. Isn’t that nonsense?" Tie Zhuzi retorted stubbornly.
But he lay there without struggling, eventually closing his eyes and resting on the sofa.
"What do we do now?" Ren Qing asked, looking at Wu Jing.
Wu Jing shook his head and said, "There’s still no signal from Brother Yu, so we can’t act rashly. We’ll observe for a while longer, and if there’s really no other option, we’ll have to resort to our second plan.
"What’s the second plan?" Tie Zhuzi asked, suddenly interested.
"The second plan is to sit here and wait patiently," Wu Jing said offhandedly.
Tie Zhuzi knew Wu Jing wasn’t going to say more, so he didn’t press the matter, continuing to lie there silently.
He knew Xiang Yu must have arranged everything before he left.
Tie Zhuzi knew Xiang Yu’s capabilities well and was confident Xiang Yu was fine.
But being unable to see Xiang Yu made him uneasy, like he had always been under Xiang Yu’s restraint.
The group sat there without saying more, while Little Xuan tried to contact Rumus following Xiang Yu’s plan.
But Rumus wasn’t in the military district now, and his phone was off, which made Little Xuan anxious.
Little Xuan wasn’t Xiang Yu; he couldn’t just charge into the military district and pull Rumus out.
This frustrated Little Xuan. If he couldn’t reach Rumus, their second plan would be hard to implent.
anwhile, Rumus was resting in a room arranged by the General Commander, completely cut off from Little Xuan’s attempts to contact him.
Once Rumus and the others finished resting, they resud discussions on how to eliminate the rebel forces.
Rumus felt a bit helpless, as these etings were expected to last for days...
