For one, Xiaoxuan and Tie Zhuzi were hidden in the dark, which made them wary.

Moreover, Shen San actually instructed Li Tian to cooperate with all of Xiang Yu’s moves, and this time Shen San had no intention of snatching Xiang Yu’s goods.

All these arrangements were made by Li Tian himself.

Sun Bo followed behind Xiang Yu, clutching two large boxes, and kept glancing back every now and then.

He was genuinely worried that those behind would catch up.

When the two reached the shore, Xiaoxuan and Tie Zhuzi finally emerged from their hiding spots.

“Let’s go back,” said Xiang Yu, and he was the first to jump onto the boat.

Xiaoxuan and Sun Bo also hopped aboard, while at that moment, Tie Zhuzi, with a face ashen as iron, hesitated and refused to board.

“You two, get him on board,” Xiang Yu said with a helpless shake of the head and a smile, never expecting that Tie Zhuzi, such a big, fearless man, would be afraid of getting on a boat.

Xiaoxuan and Sun Bo jumped down from the boat, then pushed and pulled Tie Zhuzi onto it.

Once on board, Tie Zhuzi quickly sat down, grasping the handle with both hands, looking extremely nervous.

Xiaoxuan drove the boat directly back along the original route.

In a villa at the mountain estate, Pan Wenjie was leisurely humming a tune.

He sat there waiting for news, everything seeming to be going according to his plan.

Tonight Xiang Yu would surely die, and once Xiang Yu was dead, he would become Miao Honglei’s top lieutenant.

Around one o’clock in the morning, Pan Wenjie’s phone suddenly rang.

He felt a surge of joy, thinking triumphantly that the deed must have been done.

However, when he looked at his phone, it wasn’t Han Guoli calling, but the boatman.

“What’s up?” Pan Wenjie asked pretentiously.

“Big brother, I don’t know why, but Xiang Yu knocked me out, then took off with the boat himself,” said the boatman with some dejection.

He had been ordered to take Xiang Yu and the others to the small island, but was unexpectedly knocked unconscious.

“When did this happen?” Pan Wenjie began to feel like something was not quite right.

“They left about half an hour earlier than the time you had set,” reported the man.

“Damn it…” Pan Wenjie cursed and then hung up the phone.

If Xiang Yu had left early, he might have been scared off by seeing Han Guoli, which would mean they couldn’t kill Xiang Yu.

After hanging up, Pan Wenjie immediately called Han Guoli; he wanted them to chase after Xiang Yu right away, as there was still a chance they could catch up.

The phone rang a few times before someone answered.

Pan Wenjie hadn’t yet asked who it was, and started shouting, “Start searching around the island right now, they might’ve already arrived.

Quickly look for them…”

Pan Wenjie said a lot in one breath, but to his surprise, there was no reply from the other end.

Puzzled, he said, “Guoli, did you hear me?

I told you to search.”

“Idiot.”

Suddenly, a voice on the other end uttered those two words and then hung up.

Hearing these words, Pan Wenjie was so furious he nearly spit blood, recognizing that the voice definitely wasn’t Han Guoli’s.

It seemed clear that something had happened to Han Guoli.

He couldn’t understand—considering Han Guoli’s tactics and his own plan, killing Xiang Yu should have been easy.

Yet now, the situation didn’t feel right.

He had the feeling that Xiang Yu was still alive, this person who threatened his position.

As he became increasingly jittery, someone suddenly ran in and said, “Big brother, Xiang Yu and his crew have already come back.”

Upon hearing this news, Pan Wenjie’s body shuddered.

Although he had anticipated such an outcome, when it became a reality, he found it somewhat difficult to accept, as after all, his plan had been perfect.

Without a word, Pan Wenjie walked towards the outside.

He arrived in front of Xiang Yu and their room just in time to see Xiang Yu and three others coming down from the car.

With a smile on his face, Xiang Yu looked at Pan Wenjie and said, “Are you surprised to see us back?”

Pan Wenjie quickly responded with a smile, “Of course, I’m surprised.

Your abilities have indeed exceeded my expectations.

But since you’ve returned alive, that’s good.

Go get some rest.”

When Pan Wenjie saw Xiang Yu and the others with his own eyes, he completely gave up hope.

Now, he wouldn’t believe Xiang Yu had killed Han Guoli even if he were beaten to death, but now that Xiang Yu was back and Han Guoli had not returned, there must be something fishy going on.

“Brother Yu, did he try to harm us?” Xiao Xuan asked with a cold look in his eyes and in a low voice.

Xiang Yu simply nodded with a smile and then went straight back to his room without saying anything more.

The same was true for Tie Zhuzi; all the way he did nothing but throw up.

This boat trip had nearly cost him his life.

After Sun Bo came back, he stripped naked and started to shower, always feeling as though his body was coated in blood that he couldn’t wash off.

But the events of tonight had indeed excited him, and in his excitement, he didn’t sleep all night, constantly replaying in his mind the sight of Han Guoli falling to the ground.

The next morning, around nine o’clock, Xiang Yu brought the goods and then arrived at Miao Honglei’s residence.

By then, Miao Honglei was already waiting for Xiang Yu.

In the main hall, Miao Honglei was seated at the center.

Below him were Pan Wenjie and three other bosses seated respectively.

Xiang Yu entered the hall and placed two cases in front of Miao Honglei, saying, “Big brother, my mission is complete.”

Seeing Xiang Yu return with the goods, Miao Honglei was naturally pleased.

He had wanted to promote Xiang Yu to squad leader for some time, but since Xiang Yu was new and had yet to achieve any notable merit, promoting him to squad leader might cause dissatisfaction among the ranks.

But now, Xiang Yu had managed to bring back the goods with the strength of just three men, proving that he had the credentials to be a squad leader.

“Where is Han Guoli, why hasn’t he come today?” Miao Honglei asked, somewhat irritated.

At such a crucial moment, he expected all the squad leaders to attend.

After finishing his sentence, Miao Honglei glanced at Pan Wenjie, obviously holding him responsible, as it was such an important day and yet Han Guoli had not shown up.

Pan Wenjie had not noticed this, which was a mistake on his part—a rarity for him.

“He must have been held up by something.

I’ll give him a proper lesson later,” Pan Wenjie quickly said.

Last night, he had still been fantasizing that nothing had happened to Han Guoli, but looking at the situation now, it seemed likely that Han Guoli was in grave danger.

Miao Honglei waved his hand, not delving further into the issue, and then scanned the crowd, “Today, Xiang Yu indeed lived up to expectations and completed the task very well.

I hereby announce the appointment of Xiang Yu as a squad leader.

Since Guoli isn’t here today, I’m making the decision myself.

Each of you four will give up one street for Xiang Yu to manage.

Any objections?”

Though Miao Honglei appeared to be asking, his words were essentially a direct command.

After all, Miao Honglei was the boss; what he said was the law here.

“Big brother, isn’t this too soon?

He’s just completed a simple task and you’re making him a team leader.

I’m afraid the brothers won’t accept it…” Pan Wenjie murmured softly on the side…
