278: Chapter 278: Finding the Real Culprit 278: Chapter 278: Finding the Real Culprit Xiang Yu had taken Zhong Qin back to her room, then covered her with a blanket, and stood by the side of Zhong Qin’s bed for a while before he sighed and left.

When he arrived at the council hall, Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan were already there waiting.

Xiang Yu greeted them and then went to their residence.

Their residence was not far, right upstairs on one side.

Tie Zhuzi sat down in Xiang Yu’s room and went straight to the point.

“Bro Yu, do you like her?”

“Yeah, I like beautiful girls, the more beautiful, the more I like them,” Xiang Yu said indifferently.

Seeing that Xiang Yu didn’t want to elaborate, Tie Zhuzi wisely didn’t ask further.

He knew about Xiang Yu’s ability to bluff if they started talking here, they probably could go on for three days and nights.

Xiao Xuan glanced at Tie Zhuzi, then smiled.

Xiao Xuan seldom showed emotions on his face, and he could only really smile in front of Xiang Yu and their group.

In front of others, he always wore a cold expression.

“Prepare yourselves, starting from tomorrow we will begin to move from here and follow Miao Honglei.

From then on, we’ll have a backer here,” Xiang Yu said as he leaned back on the sofa.

Both Tie Zhuzi nodded without asking further.

As long as it was Xiang Yu’s decision, even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, they would still brave them.

This was where they differed from Liu Song and his group.

In the afternoon, Xiang Yu did not go to find Liu Song and his group.

Instead, Liu Song and Zhang Xu took the initiative to come to Xiang Yu.

Liu Song looked somewhat awkwardly at Xiang Yu and said, “I’m sorry, big brother, I doubted you this morning.”

“So did I,” Zhang Xu quickly added.

Seeing their expressions, Xiang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, they had completely acknowledged him as their leader.

“Brothers should trust each other.

Since you acknowledge Brother Yu as the big brother, you should know what kind of person he is and never doubt him at any time,” Tie Zhuzi suddenly said from the sofa.

Xiang Yu gave a look to signal him to not say more, then looked at the two and said, “Just right, I also have something to discuss with you.”

Following that, Xiang Yu shared his decision with them.

Hearing that Xiang Yu was going to follow Miao Honglei, they were somewhat puzzled.

Xiang Yu did not explain much to them, as he couldn’t just say that he was following him in order to take him down.

“The boss assigned you both the task of protecting the lady, and I give you the same task, to ensure she is not bullied.

Call me if anything happens,” Xiang Yu said firmly as he looked at the two.

Although puzzled, they listened to Tie Zhuzi’s words and did not ask further.

After explaining all this, Xiang Yu finally felt relieved.

The next day at eight in the morning, Xiang Yu and his two companions arrived at Miao Honglei’s territory.

By then, Miao Honglei was already waiting for them.

Miao Honglei was sitting in the central front seat, with Pan Wenjie standing next to him.

There were many people in black suits standing around, and Xiang Yu glanced and counted exactly twenty.

Xiang Yu and his companions were not intimidated by this show of force.

Instead, they walked in calmly and stood there looking at Miao Honglei without speaking.

“Kid, stop pretending to be strong.

Speak directly about what you’ve come here for.” Initially, he thought Xiang Yu would be scared seeing this setup, but he didn’t expect Xiang Yu to be so composed, which made him quite uncomfortable.

“What I came here for is none of your damn business.

Does it concern you at all?” Xiang Yu said outright.

Xiang Yu’s words had nearly made Pan Wenjie curse out loud, but if it weren’t for Miao Honglei being there, he probably would have fought Xiang Yu to the death.

“Big brother, I’ve come to join you,” Xiang Yu said, ignoring Pan Wenjie, who was glaring at him.

He looked at Miao Honglei with devout admiration, which Miao Honglei greatly enjoyed.

Miao Honglei had thought Xiang Yu would be somewhat arrogant and take a few days to consider.

But unexpectedly, Xiang Yu had called him last night, saying he wanted to come over and join him.

The display Miao Honglei had arranged for today was precisely to show Xiang Yu that they were now strong.

As long as he followed Miao Honglei, there would be meat to eat and wine to drink.

“Xiang Yu, as of today, you’re our brother.

But there’s one thing I want to make clear to you.

Being a brother means following our rules, like this thing,” Miao Honglei said, then he promptly stripped off his shirt.

All could see Miao Honglei’s muscular body, a testament to his regular workouts.

Miao Honglei turned around to reveal a tattoo on his back with just one character ‘Hong’, which had become a style among his followers.

Xiang Yu simply smiled and said, “No problem.

As long as I’m following big brother, I’ll do whatever you ask.”

Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, who were standing behind Xiang Yu, remained silent.

They found it awkward to hear Xiang Yu calling someone else ‘big brother’; it felt like a loss.

Just then, the tattoo artist came out from behind, apparently ready to give tattoos to Xiang Yu and his two companions on the spot.

Xiang Yu did not hesitate and took off his shirt, baring his back.

But when Xiang Yu took off his shirt, those around couldn’t help but gasp in shock at the sight of many scars on his body.

The most eye-catching was a long scar across his chest, almost spanning his entire body, with a circular scar below his heart, left by a bullet.

“Big brother…” The tattoo artist looked at Miao Honglei with a pained expression.

Miao Honglei, shocked by the scars on Xiang Yu’s body, was suddenly interrupted by the tattoo artist, which calmed him slightly and he asked, “What’s the matter?”

The tattoo artist gestured for Xiang Yu to turn around, and only then did Miao Honglei notice a large square scar on Xiang Yu’s back, likely caused by a branding iron, because of Yan Bin.

And this scar was exactly at the center, which compromised the aesthetics of the tattoo.

Tattooing had been a rule set by Miao Honglei and couldn’t be broken just for Xiang Yu.

As Miao Honglei was feeling conflicted, Xiang Yu suddenly said, “How about tattooing it on my arm instead?

It will be more visible, and everyone will know that I’m under big brother’s command.”

Miao Honglei was very pleased with Xiang Yu’s suggestion and quickly said, “Let’s do that, then.

Tattoo it on his arm and make it look nice.”

The tattoo artist nodded briskly, then went to tattoo Xiang Yu on the spot.

He tattooed a large red character ‘Hong’ on Xiang Yu’s left arm, which looked quite conspicuous.

At Xiang Yu’s request, Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi also got tattoos on their left arms, formally joining Miao Honglei’s faction.

Meanwhile, Pan Wenjie’s gaze grew even more venomous.

Just as Miao Honglei was chuckling, preparing to make a speech, Luo Lin arrived with two men and called out loudly, “Boss Miao, don’t be in a hurry, I have something to tell you.”

Feeling cheerful, Miao Honglei loudly responded, “It’s Luo Lin; go ahead and speak.”

Luo Lin then looked at Xiang Yu, standing in the middle, and smiled coldly, “We’ve found out that the ones who killed Han Guohua were none other than Xiang Yu and his men…”
