“What’s going on?” Xiang Yu asked.

“Liang Zi said he needs our help.

He’s being crushed by Zhang Nan right now.

He said if we don’t help him out soon, they’ll pull out of this city,” Shi Jian explained.

Liang Zi and his crew are under Zhu Qingfang, and they’re all bastards.

The boss got killed, and instead of going after the murderer, they’re still jockeying for power.

But Xiang Yu had precisely anticipated this situation, which prompted him to make a move on them.

Liang Zi really was limited in ability; Xiang Yu had thought he would hold out for a while, until he was finished with the current affairs before going to his aid.

After all, Liang Zi was aware of Xiang Yu’s methods.

Propping Liang Zi up as the boss was far better than letting that guy Zhang Nan take over.

“Tell him to wait until after tonight.

Put everything else aside and proceed with the plan.

Also, ensure the safety of the Five Brothers.

We can’t afford any slip-ups,” Xiang Yu instructed.

“Don’t worry,” Shi Jian nodded confidently.

Xiang Yu finished giving his instructions and then let Shi Jian go to make preparations.

“How are you getting on?” Xiang Yu turned to Wu Jing.

“Everything’s ready.

Without your orders, nobody goes anywhere,” Wu Jing said confidently.

Xiang Yu trusted them and then sent Wu Jing to prepare as well.

Today’s events were crucial, not only affecting his own fate but also the lives of many others connected to him.

At that moment, Tie Zhuzi led Zhang Hongbo and another out.

They had been assigned to the third floor and seemed quite pleased with their arrangements.

These two lads had just joined.

Xiang Yu didn’t want them involved in today’s affairs, so he took Tie Zhuzi and headed to the logistics department.

The logistics department was its usual bustle.

Lan Tingting, hearing that Xiang Yu was back, left her work and went to Ning Xiaolu’s office, where Xiang Yu was currently briefing Ning Xiaolu.

“You’re back,” Lan Tingting smiled, her heart racing uncontrollably, yet her face bore an air of indifference; she was terrified someone might detect her true feelings.

“Tingting, let me introduce you to two people,” Xiang Yu introduced Zhang Hongbo and the other to Lan Tingting.

When Lan Tingting saw Xiao Xuan, she was taken aback initially.

Could there indeed be so many people resembling Ning Xiaolu in this world?

Could their pasts be similar?

Ning Xiaolu had already noticed Xiao Xuan; she saw her own reflection in him.

“Another beautiful sister arrives, hello there,” Zhang Hongbo greeted Lan Tingting with a smile and a nod.

“Hello to you too,” Lan Tingting replied with a smile.

Zhang Hongbo wasn’t the least bit shy for a first meeting, chatting endlessly with Lan Tingting, who thoroughly enjoyed the youth’s company, laughing heartily.

“What’s your name?” Ning Xiaolu stood up and asked Xiao Xuan.

“Xiao Xuan.” Xiao Xuan glanced at Ning Xiaolu, his face suddenly losing its usual coldness, and nodded, “Hello.”

Zhang Hongbo looked at Xiao Xuan in surprise, knowing he would never have initiated conversation with a stranger before.

“Cough cough…” Xiang Yu, seeing them chatting there and completely ignoring him, cleared his throat twice to indicate his presence.

“Don’t put on an act, just leave these two young brothers here with us.

We’ll definitely take good care of them for you.

Go and take care of your business,” said Lan Tingting, having become much more cheerful under the influence of Zhang Hongbo.

She knew Xiang Yu had many things to do, all of which were very dangerous, and bringing the two young men with him meant he surely had concerns about them.

Xiang Yu gave an embarrassed smile and nodded, “That’s good.”

After talking about a few more things, Xiang Yu then got up, ready to leave.

He entrusted all company matters to Ning Xiaolu and didn’t involve himself in them at all.

“I’ll go with you.” At that moment, Xiao Xuan suddenly came over and said.

After what happened during the day, although he didn’t know what Xiang Yu was going to do, he was certain it was dangerous.

“I’ll go too.” Zhang Hongbo came over with a serious face, completely devoid of his usually frivolous attitude.

Xiang Yu could tell that both were genuinely worried.

He patted their shoulders, smiling, “It’s not time yet.” Xiang Yu turned to look at Lan Tingting, “Take good care of them.” Having said that, he turned and left.

By this time, Tie Zhuzi was already waiting by the door, as he usually wouldn’t come in at times like this.

Seeing Xiang Yu leave, Lan Tingting hurriedly chased after him.

She wanted to tell him to be careful, but the words just wouldn’t come out when they reached her lips.

Standing upstairs, watching his car drive away, she felt a sense of loss.

Xiang Yu’s visits were always so rushed, never giving her a chance.

“Tingting, do you like Brother Yu?” Zhang Hongbo suddenly appeared behind Lan Tingting and said with a smile.

Lan Tingting’s face turned red and then she gave him a white look, “Don’t talk nonsense, I don’t like anyone.” Saying that, she pulled Zhang Hongbo back into the house.

Sitting in the car, Xiang Yu felt a moment of melancholic loss.

He was not emotionless; he knew about Lan Tingting’s feelings for him, and also about Fang Rong’s unspoken affection.

But he dared not accept it; all he could do was to try to avoid it as much as possible.

His identity wasn’t real at the moment, and he feared getting emotionally involved; to him, all those feelings were just illusions.

Moreover, his current situation carried the risk of danger at any time, and he could not drag others into it, especially not those who cared for him.

Fang Rong would often call Xiang Yu, and he would mostly make excuses that he was busy before hurriedly hanging up.

Fang Rong was very dissatisfied with this.

She wanted to confront Xiang Yu about it, but she never seemed to find the right time.

“Brother Yu, where are we going now?”

Tie Zhuzi’s question broke Xiang Yu’s reverie, and he looked up, “We’re going to find that old man Sheng Wantao.”

Tie Zhuzi didn’t ask any further and drove towards the destination.

In fact, they had just left that place, but Tie Zhuzi knew there must be a reason if Xiang Yu wanted to go back.

Xiang Yu was certain that the other bosses had already left at this time.

When Sheng Wantao saw Xiang Yu returning, he wasn’t surprised as if he had already known he would come back.

When Kong Ruyu saw Xiang Yu, she covertly gave him a flirtatious glance full of allure, which probably no man could resist.

As for Kong Ruyu, Xiang Yu felt no psychological burden at all.

Their relationship was purely utilitarian, so even if Xiang Yu slept with her, he felt no guilt.

However, because of Sheng Wantao, Xiang Yu never got the chance, and if Sheng Wantao wasn’t around, he would have found it hard to resist pouncing on her right then and there.

Seeing Xiang Yu, Sheng Wantao knew he had something to discuss, so he led Xiang Yu to his study.

The two closed the door behind them, not even allowing Kong Ruyu to join, and no one knew what they were discussing.

But it was certainly related to the events of the evening…
