Chapter 215 - 215 215 They Did This

215: Chapter 215: They Did This 215: Chapter 215: They Did This Ouyang Xiu had already closed his eyes, accepting that he wouldn’t be able to avenge his father in this lifetime.

The murderer was his uncle.

“Time to die,” Ouyang Ke said as he took the gun, ready to finish off Ouyang Xiu.

Just as Ouyang Ke was about to make his move, someone holding a cellphone approached, “Mr.

Ouyang, it’s for you.”

Ouyang Ke felt annoyed, he was about to eliminate a threat, and now someone was interrupting.

“Who?” Ouyang Ke asked coldly.

“Your son is in my hands,” came the crisp voice from the other side.

Ouyang Ke was taken aback.

Although he could commit patricide and fratricide, he truly had nothing to say when it came to his own son; the boy meant the world to him.

“Who are you, and what do you want?” Ouyang Ke realized the gravity of the situation and asked cautiously.

“Simple, release Ouyang Xiu, and I’ll let your son go,” the voice on the other side suddenly said.

“Impossible, who exactly are you?” Ouyang Ke immediately rejected the idea upon hearing that he should release Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu was a thorn in his side; if he didn’t get rid of him, he’d never be able to live comfortably.

“Then prepare to collect your son’s body,” the person on the line said and hung up the phone directly.

Ouyang Ke was worried, yet feared the caller was telling the truth.

First thing, he called his son, Ouyang Xing, and after two rings, someone picked up the call.

Ouyang Ke felt a wave of relief; perhaps it had been a scam call earlier.

“Old fool, you don’t believe what I said, do you?” Although it was Ouyang Xing’s phone, the familiar voice still came through from the other side.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ke’s heart turned cold; it seemed his son really had been captured by the caller.

“Dad, come save me, they want to kill me…” At that moment, Ouyang Xing’s voice screamed desperately through the phone.

Shi Jian and his men were by Ouyang Xing’s side, planning to threaten him a bit and have him explain the situation to his father.

But before they could speak, Ouyang Xing had already started screaming, involuntarily playing right into their hands.

“Whatever you want, I’ll agree, as long as you don’t hurt my son,” Ouyang Ke was becoming scared.

In his heart, although he really wanted to kill Ouyang Xiu, his son was more important.

He could always attempt to kill Ouyang Xiu another time, but if his son died, he could never be brought back to life.

“Release Ouyang Xiu right now, and I guarantee we won’t touch your son.

Your son is just a worthless coward, he’s so scared he’s wetting his pants as we speak,” Shi Jian snorted coldly, then hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

Ouyang Xiu was prepared to face death but as he closed his eyes ready for the bullet, the expected gunshot never came.

Struggling to open his eyes, he saw Ouyang Ke coming back holding the cellphone.

“Kid, you’re playing with me,” Ouyang Ke didn’t wait for Ouyang Xiu to speak, and then slapped his face several times.

Ouyang Xiu was bewildered by the slapping; his adversary was supposed to kill him, and now for some reason had started hitting him.

After slapping him, Ouyang Ke left with a cold snort.

Soon after, a person dressed in black came over to untie Ouyang Xiu, and then they too left.

Ouyang Xiu miraculously salvaged his life and was filled with emotion.

He had a brother to take care of, and he resolved to never again engage in such events.

Though he did not understand why Ouyang Ke had not killed him, he was certain it was not out of mercy.

Ouyang Xiu thought about it and realized that only Xiang Yu and his group could have rescued him.

Even though Xiang Yu had said that he wanted half of the Ouyang Family’s wealth after the success of their venture, Ouyang Xiu had already decided that if that day really came, he would want nothing and would give everything to Xiang Yu and his group.

At this moment, Xiang Yu and the others were still in the hospital.

With Shi Jian and his team taking action, Xiang Yu felt very assured.

Indeed, around two o’clock in the afternoon, Shi Jian returned with everyone.

Ouyang Xiu had clearly returned with them, but his face was now marred with many bruises.

Ouyang Xiu knew that both Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi had awakened and were not in life-threatening conditions.

He approached Xiang Yu’s bedside with a face full of guilt and said, “Brother Yu, I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again.”

Looking at the bruising on Ouyang Xiu’s face, Xiang Yu did not need to ask to know what had happened.

“There’s no need to say anything else.

Since we are all brothers, we must share our hardships from now on and can’t make such foolish mistakes again,” Xiang Yu said.

Seeing that Xiang Yu did not seem to blame him, Ouyang Xiu felt much better.

“You guys rest for a bit.

Shi Jian, accompany me for a walk outside,” said Xiang Yu.

Shi Jian knew Xiang Yu had something to tell him, and the two of them went to the small garden outside the hospital.

Shi Jian recounted the recent events.

They knew that Ouyang Xiu must have been captured by Ouyang Ke, and they did not search for him but went directly to Ouyang Ke’s son, Ouyang Xing, where an exchange of hostages, so to speak, took place.

Xiang Yu did not comment on his actions, as the important thing was that everyone had returned safely.

As long as the method used resulted in their safe rescue, it was a good method.

“Who do you think did it?” Xiang Yu asked.

By “it,” he naturally referred to the incident with the bomb in the car.

Clearly, the enemy had intended to blow Xiang Yu and his group to pieces.

If not for Xiang Yu’s sense of danger at the time, prompting him to warn the others, it was likely that all three of them would have been en route to meet King Yan by now.

“If it wasn’t Ouyang Ke’s doing, then it’s hard to say.

Could it be the remnants of Yan Bin?” Shi Jian said with doubt.

After all, they had eliminated several forces over that period, and it was possible some remnants still wanted to kill Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu shook his head and said, “It’s not them.

Although it appears to be just an explosive attack, the bomb was intricately made, and its range was well controlled to avoid injuring others.

Those people couldn’t have pulled this off.”

“By the way, while you were unconscious, I had our brothers investigate the matter.

They reported that these bombs are not domestically made but originate from Japan,” Shi Jian suddenly said.

Xiang Yu simply smiled, not surprised, for he had already suspected them.

The Japanese who were competing with him for that land had felt unconventional to him from the start, but he had yet to foresee their boldness.

This made Xiang Yu more suspicious about the significance of that piece of land.

He had visited the area twice and saw nothing particularly special about it.

“It was them,” Xiang Yu said with a glint of coldness in his eyes.

Their intention was clear—kill Xiang Yu.

But Xiang Yu was not so easily killed.

“Be extra careful in the coming period and ensure Ouyang Xiu’s safety so that he won’t get into any more trouble.

As for that old scoundrel Ouyang Ke, I will deal with him soon,” Xiang Yu said.

Xiang Yu now faced the urgent task of dealing with Ouyang Ke because they had a bigger enemy ahead—the Japanese.

Xiang Yu had a feeling that, judging by the Japanese’s overall capabilities, they might be harboring an unspeakable conspiracy.

And this conspiracy seemed to have some connection with that plot of land…
