Chapter 156 - 156 156 It Was Just a False Alarm

156: Chapter 156: It Was Just a False Alarm 156: Chapter 156: It Was Just a False Alarm Long Zaitian was already prepared to die in battle, and since Xiang Yu treated him as a brother, he too would surely follow him to the death.

Shi Jian drove the car at high speed, and from a distance, he saw Tie Zhuzi beating someone up.

They reached Tie Zhuzi’s side as quickly as they could, staring at him and asking, “Where’s Xiang Yu?”

“Inside,” Tie Zhuzi replied, also glaring.

“Then what are you still doing out here?

Let’s go.” Shi Jian didn’t hide his anger and, without waiting for Tie Zhuzi, he rushed inside with his gun.

At that moment, he didn’t have time to survey his surroundings or to spend time assessing the terrain.

His only thought was to see Xiang Yu.

Long Zaitian was even more anxious than Shi Jian, and they both stormed into the villa.

But when they burst in, they were completely stunned—this was nothing like what they had expected.

Xiang Yu was sitting calmly on the couch, eating peanuts, with Liang Zi sitting dumbly on the floor, mouth agape, not knowing what to think.

When he saw Shi Jian and the other man enter, he was so startled he almost fell over, but then he managed to get up.

Seeing the two men rush in, Xiang Yu calmly asked, “Is there trouble outside?”

“Tie Zhuzi caught someone outside,” Shi Jian was the first to recover and speak.

“Bring him in,” Xiang Yu said.

Seeing that there wasn’t much danger around, Long Zaitian quickly went out and called Tie Zhuzi in.

Tie Zhuzi had been worried about Xiang Yu, and on hearing that Xiang Yu was all right, he dragged in the guy he had knocked out and threw him on the floor.

After coming in, Tie Zhuzi glanced around and saw no one else, just a dead black cat nailed to the wall with a dagger.

Knowing it was Xiang Yu’s dagger, he went over and pulled it out without a word.

After cleaning the dagger, he handed it to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu took the dagger and suddenly noticed that Tie Zhuzi’s fist was bleeding.

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the man lying on the floor, his eyes blazing.

Feeling the shift in Xiang Yu’s mood, Tie Zhuzi quickly said, “I did this myself, it’s not his fault; he couldn’t have hurt me.”

Xiang Yu’s face relaxed again after hearing this.

The group sat in silence until Xiang Yu suddenly chuckled, prompting Shi Jian and the others to burst into laughter as well.

Liang Zi sat there baffled; these people were a bunch of reckless madmen who were openly sitting in enemy territory, yet they still found the mood to laugh.

Having made up his mind, once this was over, he would never stay here again.

He planned to leave the city; he no longer wanted to live in constant fear.

The experiences of the past few days had been too unnerving for him, and he realized that he really wasn’t cut out for this life—people like Xiang Yu were better suited for it.

Shi Jian and the others had all been prepared to die in battle, yet now the enemy wasn’t here, and they were all unexpectedly still alive, which made them all somewhat emotional.

“Xiang Yu, you bastard, can’t you be less impulsive?

We were all really worried about you, you know,” they said after the laughter, as the atmosphere turned friendly.

Among them, only Shi Jian dared to talk to Xiang Yu like this.

Since Xiang Yu had started in this line of work, Shi Jian had been with him, and the two had become accustomed to teasing each other, not minding such a way of speaking.

“Sorry, it was reckless of me,” Xiang Yu apologized with a smile.

Shi Jian was momentarily stunned by Xiang Yu’s demeanor.

This wasn’t Xiang Yu’s usual style, but true to form, Xiang Yu then added, looking at Shi Jian, “If it weren’t for you screwing up, would I have charged over here?”

Long Zaitian and Tie Zhuzi just sat there, smiling without saying a word; they found the atmosphere quite relaxing.

After chatting for quite a while, Xiang Yu suddenly remembered something and pointing at the person on the ground, he asked, “Who is this kid?”

Tie Zhuzi quickly explained what had just happened, then placed the pistol he had found on the man, on the table.

“He’s one of Zhang Nan’s men.” At that moment, Liang Zi, who was sitting at a distance, suddenly spoke up.

Liang Zi’s silence had nearly made everyone forget about him.

Hearing that it was one of Zhang Nan’s men, Xiang Yu looked at Tie Zhuzi and said, “Wake him up.”

It took Tie Zhuzi a great deal of effort to finally wake the guy up—surprisingly, this person fainted easily; he was knocked out after just a few hits.

“Please, big brothers, have mercy, have mercy…” Once the man woke up and saw so many people sitting around, he realized what was happening and then knelt down and begged for mercy.

Suddenly seeing Liang Zi also sitting in the distance, he quickly knelt and crawled over.

In his view, Liang Zi was the big boss here, and these people were all Liang Zi’s subordinates.

“Brother Liang, please spare my life, this has nothing to do with me, I’m just a runner under Zhang Nan, I only do what he orders me to do.” The man pleaded while kowtowing.

Liang Zi sat there somewhat embarrassingly because Xiang Yu was also there, and he felt uneasy speaking up.

At that moment, Xiang Yu took out a dagger and chopped it on the table, then calmly asked, “Where did Zhang Nan and his men go?”

Hearing Xiang Yu speak, the man ignored him and kept kneeling in front of Liang Zi, begging for mercy.

Liang Zi was Zhang Nan’s brother and considered a big boss himself, although not as high ranking as Zhang Nan, he was still someone significant.

Since Liang Zi was present, he naturally considered him the Helmsman.

If Liang Zi would just say the word to let him go, he’d be free.

Seeing that the guy was ignoring him, Xiang Yu just shook his head with a bitter smile, thinking this fellow wouldn’t achieve much in life; he lacked perceptiveness.

Angered, Tie Zhuzi stepped forward, grabbed the man’s hair, and slapped him twice ‘smack, smack,’ knocking out a few of his teeth.

Tie Zhuzi grabbed him by the head and threw him in front of Xiang Yu.

The man, having seen Tie Zhuzi hit him without Liang Zi saying a word, finally realized that these people were actually the ones in charge here.

Not daring to look around any further, he quickly knelt in front of Xiang Yu again, begging for mercy.

He regretted not having paid attention to Xiang Yu earlier.

With the dagger, Xiang Yu lifted the man’s chin and demanded, “Speak, where did Zhang Nan and his men go?”

At this point, the man’s face was tear-streaked, but he dared not cry out loud, fearing that he might provoke Xiang Yu.

At any moment, a simple slice with the dagger Xiang Yu held would end his life right there.

“Big brother, please spare me.

I have an eighty-year-old…”

He hadn’t even finished his plea when Xiang Yu leaned forward forcefully.

At that moment, a blood trail appeared on the man’s neck, with fresh blood flowing out.

“Don’t give me these useless excuses.

I’m only asking you one question: where is Zhang Nan now?” Xiang Yu’s voice was icy cold, causing the man to shiver uncontrollably.

By then, he could feel the cold on his neck and had no doubt that if he spoke any further nonsense, Xiang Yu would end his life with a single stroke…
