184: Chapter 184 Sheng Wantao Steps Down 184: Chapter 184 Sheng Wantao Steps Down After they had dinner and sat in the hall, Tie Zhuzi asked with some concern, “Brother Yu, Ding Yongzhi said at the time of his death that he had a younger brother who seemed quite formidable.

Should we investigate him?”

The question Tie Zhuzi wanted to ask was also what they all wanted to inquire about.

After all, walls have ears.

Xiang Yu had killed the two brothers, Ding Yongzhi.

Although the deed was done covertly, those determined enough would definitely investigate Xiang Yu and his crew.

“There’s no need to rush,” Xiang Yu considered for a moment, according to what Ding Yongzhi had said, his younger brother was in that mysterious organization.

Mysterious organization—Xiang Yu had only touched the surface, having not delved deep into it.

Xiang Yu was worried that recklessly investigating it might have the opposite effect, thereby alerting the organization.

Since his younger brother was in that organization, they would inevitably clash sooner or later.

Even if he did not come looking for him, Xiang Yu would go looking for them.

What’s more, Xiang Yu had promised Zhong Qin to become her bodyguard.

Zhong Qin resembled Zhong Min so much, Xiang Yu had a premonition that there was some connection between them.

Since he was not familiar with Zhong Qin yet, she didn’t inquire further.

At this moment, Xiang Yu turned to Ouyang Xiu and asked, “Are you ready?”

Ouyang Xiu was momentarily stunned, then his eyes filled with determination as he nodded, “I am ready.”

Xiang Yu had already promised Ouyang Xiu that he would help him.

The reason for the delay was to show him that society was not as simple as he perceived, and not as straightforward as he thought.

Clearly, Ouyang Xiu had understood this too.

He was very grateful to Xiang Yu for letting him truly see the nature of this society.

“Shi Jian, don’t do anything recently.

Follow Brother Ouyang and protect him.

Call me if anything happens,” Xiang Yu instructed.

Now was the time to let Ouyang Xiu investigate this matter.

Some things had to be done by oneself, and what Xiang Yu and his team could do was ensure Ouyang Xiu’s safety.

Shi Jian nodded and responded affirmatively.

Shi Jian was involved in intelligence work, so most of the time he could not only protect him but also provide information.

While everyone else went about their own business, Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi prepared to visit the logistics center.

Just as they got into the car, Long Wu opened the door and sat down too.

She remained silent, just sitting there.

Xiang Yu felt as if she had some leverage over him, which made him uncomfortable.

He too sat there in silence, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere in the car.

Throughout the ride, the three of them did not speak and then arrived at the logistics center.

When Lan Tingting saw Xiang Yu arriving, she ran over anxiously, but upon spotting Long Wu by his side, she felt uncomfortable all over.

She had secretly inquired about this woman from Shi Jian and knew she was one of Xiang Yu’s subordinates, also serving as his bodyguard.

Yet, seeing Long Wu by Xiang Yu’s side just made her uncomfortable.

“What happened, why did she suddenly leave?” Lan Tingting asked Xiang Yu worriedly, her face full of concern.

The she she referred to was obviously Ning Xiaolu.

Ning Xiaolu rarely spoke ordinarily, and although Lan Tingting did not know her very well, the time spent together had fostered some emotional bond.

Now that Ning Xiaolu had suddenly left, she was concerned, fearing that something had happened.

“You probably don’t want to stay here and go back to your hometown,” Xiang Yu said with a simple smile.

He wasn’t going to tell her about what happened tonight, as Xiang Yu still hoped that Lan Tingting could lead an ordinary life and stay away from these matters as much as possible.

When Lan Tingting saw Xiang Yu, she didn’t know what was going on, so she didn’t ask more.

After all, everyone has their aspirations and makes their own choices.

Xiang Yu had come today to gather everyone involved in logistics and then announce Lan Tingting’s assumption of Ning Xiaolu’s role.

No one had many objections, as Lan Tingting had the most contact with Ning Xiaolu normally.

Many things were handled through Lan Tingting; she was familiar with the internal affairs, and with her in charge, there would naturally be no mistakes.

Lan Tingting was a bit nervous; she didn’t know if she could handle it.

It was only after Xiang Yu’s persuasion that she agreed to give it a try.

Xiang Yu did not stay much longer at logistics; after finishing these tasks, he left.

This was because Sheng Wantao had called him, hoping he would come over.

It was still a sunny day.

When Xiang Yu arrived at Sheng Wantao’s golf course, he found him sitting there with Kong Ruyu.

Upon seeing Xiang Yu arrive, Sheng Wantao quickly stood up and smiled at him.

When Xiang Yu saw Sheng Wantao, he was initially slightly surprised; Sheng Wantao now looked haggard, his hair had turned white, and he was much thinner than before.

He now looked like a doddering old man, far from his previously spirited self.

In contrast, Kong Ruyu still had her usual charm and seemed even more enchanting than before.

Xiang Yu couldn’t help but feel restless upon seeing her.

If it weren’t for this doddering old man being here, Xiang Yu might have pounced on her earlier.

“Godfather, what did you call me here for today?” Xiang Yu asked unabashedly as he sat down and placed his feet on the round table in front of him.

Xiang Yu remembered the first time he came here; he was pressed down to kneel on the ground, the scars on his back were from that time.

Unexpectedly, in such a short period, Xiang Yu had reached this stage.

Even Sheng Wantao had to be cautious when speaking in front of him, for fear of angering Xiang Yu.

Their initial plan was to bring Xiang Yu in to restrain Yan Bin; even if they couldn’t get rid of Yan Bin, they could at least weaken his power.

But the result was that not only did Xiang Yu eradicate Yan Bin, but his power now had grown even more formidable than Yan Bin’s had ever been.

These days, Sheng Wantao had been worried about one thing: that Xiang Yu might come after him.

Therefore, he couldn’t eat well or sleep well, living in constant fear every day.

This morning, he even heard that the owner of Xinglong Hotel was supposedly killed last night.

Although he didn’t know who did it, rumors were that it was a rising new power that was continuously growing stronger.

Although Sheng Wantao wasn’t sure if it was Xiang Yu’s doing, Xiang Yu indeed represented a rising star.

At this moment, Sheng Wantao began to worry about his own safety and ultimately made a big decision; rather than living in constant fear, he might as well face it.

“Xiang Yu, these past few days, your godmother and I have thought a lot.

Although you haven’t been with us long, your capabilities are evident.

I’ve decided to hand over my position to you,” Sheng Wantao said.

“How can that be?

Godfather, you still seem quite vigorous to me; you should be fine for a few more years.” Although Xiang Yu said this, he sat up straight and looked at Sheng Wantao, clearly interested in his proposal.

Sheng Wantao had already cursed Xiang Yu a thousand times in his heart; were it not for fearing Xiang Yu might harm him, he wouldn’t have handed over the leadership…
