226: Chapter 226: Eliminate the Remaining Forces 226: Chapter 226: Eliminate the Remaining Forces The court was very cooperative with the Ministry of Public Security.
When they received the case, they quickly announced that the trial would begin.
Due to the recent political turmoil, everyone was eager to showcase their capabilities in front of the new leadership, all wanting to produce impressive political achievents.
When Ouyang Xiu received the notice that the trial would be held the next day, he was sowhat stunned.
He could hardly believe that he had actually reached this point.
But the matter was not yet over.
Ouyang Ke had not yet been officially sentenced; without a verdict, anything could happen.
Therefore, this was going to be the most anxious night for Ouyang Xiu.
He worried that sothing unexpected might occur.
Xiang Yu noticed Ouyang Xiu’s nervousness and then patted his shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.
Just focus on preparing for tomorrow.”
Ouyang Xiu quickly nodded.
Whenever he was indecisive or nervous, as soon as Xiang Yu appeared, all his anxieties would vanish, as if with Xiang Yu there, nothing was impossible.
In the afternoon, Tie Zhuzi was discharged from the hospital, and a group of people ca to the hospital.
They were very happy, chatting and laughing, and then they all had a al together.
After eating, Long Zaitian and a few others left.
After returning to the golf club, Ouyang Xiu also went to rest, and Wu Jing left as well.
Xiang Yu, Shi Jian, and Xiao Xuan were given assignnts, and after receiving their tasks, they quickly left.
Tie Zhuzi, seeing that Xiang Yu had not assigned him a task, grew anxious and said, “Brother Yu, I’m better now.
Let go take out Ouyang Ke?”
Having been bedridden for so many days, Tie Zhuzi felt he was nearly crippled and urgently needed to vent on soone.
“Let’s wait until you’re fully recovered,” Xiang Yu said with a shake of his head and a smile.
“I am fully recovered now.
Look.” Tie Zhuzi jumped up after speaking, but the mont he did, he pulled his back and cried out in pain, then said no more.
In a secluded small restaurant, three people were discussing sothing secretly.
“The boss gave us a task to kill Xiang Yu.
Now that the boss has been locked up, what do you think, should we still do it?” one of them said.
“Hell, the boss is locked up.
Who’s going to know if we do it?
If it doesn’t work out, we might even end up losing our lives.”
“Both of you shut up.
The boss won’t have any problems.
It is not the first ti sothing like this has happened, and the boss has always co out unscathed.
If the boss cos back and sees we didn’t act, he’ll definitely chop us up.”
“Why do I feel like this ti it’s a bit different?”
“There’s no difference.
Don’t worry, the boss will definitely co out.
We just need to do our job.
I’ve already scouted the route.
Tomorrow morning, when they co out, we’ll take him down.”
The three discussed and finally reached an agreent: they would kill Xiang Yu the next morning as he left.
But just as they were drinking, a young man suddenly sat down at their table.
He was rather tall, with short hair and a commanding presence.
He sat down, said nothing, and then began eating a chicken leg from the table.
The three brothers were slightly taken aback, looking at each other in disbelief, not recognizing him.
“Buddy, you might have the wrong place.
We don’t know you,” one of them said, puzzled.
The imposing young man ignored them and, after finishing one chicken leg, casually picked up another and continued eating as if the three in front of him didn’t exist.
At this point, the three brothers beca unsettled; this was a typical snub.
They were all underlings of Ouyang Ke, used to swaggering around, unaccustod to such blatant disrespect.
The young man took a beer bottle and was about to smash it on the head of the imposing young man, but his hand stopped mid-air.
He felt sothing hard pressing against his stomach.
The other two also paused, noticing the gun in the young man’s hand.
At this mont, they realized that this youngster had co specifically for them.
“This brother, it seems we’re not acquainted.
If there’s been any offense in the past, I hope you forgive us,” one of them said, their worldliness showing as they were not easily scared by a gun.
After the imposing young man finished his last chicken leg, he wiped his hands on one of them, then looked up and smiled, “I just heard you guys are planning to take down soone nad Xiang Yu tomorrow morning?”
Hearing this, the faces of the three changed.
They now knew that this person was definitely related to Xiang Yu—they had to take him down today and not let him spill any beans.
The three exchanged glances, understanding each other’s thoughts.
“Don’t move; my brothers are all behind you.
Anyone who moves is dead,” the imposing young man calmly said.
The three brothers then looked behind the imposing young man and saw another table with five stern-faced n watching them.
They deflated like punctured balloons.
“Brother, who exactly are you, and what’s your relationship with Xiang Yu?” one of them asked.
“My na is Shi Jian,” Shi Jian said with a smile, looking at the three n.
Hearing that it was Shi Jian, their faces changed.
Although they had not t Shi Jian before, they knew he was a major general by Xiang Yu’s side.
Upon learning it was Shi Jian, one of them stood up, grabbed a beer bottle, and smashed it towards Shi Jian.
Knowing that today was more likely bad than good, he had just stood up when Shi Jian kicked him out.
Then, two n ca from behind and dragged him away, pulling him into a car, his fate unknown.
“Out of you two, I only need one.
I don’t need the other,” Shi Jian calmly told the remaining two, clearly indicating that one of them was useless.
Both of them nervously looked at Shi Jian.
Suddenly, one of them stood up, grabbed a beer bottle, and smashed it on his companion’s head.
Poor fellow, he hadn’t even reacted before his head was cracked open.
Then, two more n ca over and dragged the fallen man away.
“Please spare my life, big brother.
Ask anything, and I’ll tell you everything I know,” the remaining man quickly pleaded with Shi Jian.
“Let’s go,” Shi Jian simply smiled and then walked toward another car.
Two n searched the remaining man, found a dagger on him, and then pushed him into another car.
Shi Jian knew this man was an underling of Ouyang Ke; he planned to use him to eliminate all of Ouyang Ke’s remaining forces.
This was the task Xiang Yu had given him, and it was also to clear obstacles for Ouyang Xiu to take control of the Ouyang Family in the future.
The elimination of Ouyang Ke’s dark forces had just begun, and it was soon going to end…
