Chapter 391 - 391 391 Leaving Isn't Always Sad

391: Chapter 391 Leaving Isn’t Always Sad 391: Chapter 391 Leaving Isn’t Always Sad Xiang Yu felt very puzzled.

Given Zhong Huashan’s wisdom, it was impossible for him to end things so carelessly.

Could it be that he had overestimated him?

The whole affair seemed too hasty.

Xiang Yu also had another thought in mind, which was that the boss had already investigated and cleared up who the murderer was last night, and today’s visit was just a formality, along with using Ding Yongwei’s example as a means of asserting dominance, to serve as a warning to the others.

But no matter which explanation it was, Xiang Yu always felt something was amiss.

If the boss had already known it was Ding Yongwei who did it, then why did he just now pose a question for Xiang Yu to compete with Luo Lin?

There was simply no need for it.

Xiang Yu thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out; however, these matters had little to do with him.

Among the four of them, as long as it wasn’t Miao Honglei, it didn’t matter who it was.

And now with Luo Lin caught, he had one less rival, and becoming the boss’s chief bodyguard should be a lot easier.

Zhong Huashan looked tired, and then he said, “Let’s put an end to this matter, starting today no one should bring it up again.

Everyone go back.”

After Zhong Huashan finished speaking, he waved to the crowd.

At this moment, Miao Honglei was undoubtedly the most excited one.

Ding Yongwei had been captured by the boss, and it was only a matter of time before Xiang Yu became a bodyguard.

Therefore, his faction’s power would surely increase significantly.

Originally, he wanted to say more to the boss, but seeing the boss looking drained, he quickly shut his mouth and led his brothers downstairs.

Mo Lan and Shen San didn’t say much either and just left directly.

After seeing everyone leave, Zhong Huashan then came over to Xiang Yu, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, “Perform well.

Tie Sanjiang is no simple character.

One week’s time, I’ll be waiting for your news.”

After Zhong Huashan finished speaking, he led the others away.

But as he got to the door, he suddenly turned to look at Xiang Yu and said, “Come to the headquarters before nine tonight.” After that, he didn’t look back and just left.

Ding Yongwei and Luo Lin had already been taken away earlier, leaving only Xiang Yu and the others behind.

“Those damned bastards, I’ll kill them all one day.” Tie Zhuzi, supporting Xiang Yu, hurriedly helped him sit on the couch.

Xiang Yu was already seriously injured, and after being beaten again, he could only manage to sit there with difficulty.

“Are you alright?” At this time, Han Feng and Yuan Huai came over to look at Xiang Yu with a smile and asked.

After what just happened, their impression of Xiang Yu improved a lot.

If it weren’t for Xiang Yu, the two of them might have been corpses by now.

“Not dead yet,” Xiang Yu said with a smile.

“Thanks for earlier, the two of us are planning to leave this place,” Yuan Huai said earnestly at that moment.

Xiang Yu had seen him mostly drunk, rarely as sober as he was now.

“Leaving?

Where do you plan on going?” Suddenly Wu Jing asked.

Wu Jing had interacted with Han Feng for a short time, and if not for him, Wu Jing might already be dead.

“Our identities are special, and staying here would bring you a lot of trouble,” Han Feng said with a smile.

Han Feng had offended many organizations for the sake of his brothers, and those people were still looking for him.

If Han Feng hid here and was found, it could lead to a strike or revenge against Xiang Yu.

Yuan Huai, even more so, was theoretically a deserter.

Many departments were searching for him.

Keeping up a drunken stupor and feigning madness might work for a while, but maintaining that act, he would eventually be discovered.

Xiang Yu seemed to have expected this outcome.

He wasn’t surprised, then stood up and looked at the two with a smile, “What are your plans?”

Han Feng and Yuan Huai exchanged glances and then mysteriously smiled, “We’ve discussed it, there are some things that must be confronted.

Escaping is ultimately not a solution.”

Tie Zhuzi, observing their secretive demeanor, couldn’t help but frown and said, “You two aren’t getting together, are you?

I find you two quite sickening to watch.”

“Fuck off, we’re both leaving, can’t you say something more appropriate and pleasing?” Han Feng said with a bitter smile.

The atmosphere should’ve been a little melancholic, even though their interactions with Xiang Yu and the others were brief, the emotions forged through life-and-death experiences are beyond words.

Now, thanks to Tie Zhuzi’s remark, the whole farewell vibe got shattered.

“Actually, you two could stay; I’m not afraid of them,” Xiang Yu’s “them” naturally referred to the mercenary organization behind Han Feng and the military district behind Yuan Huai.

Han Feng laughed and shook his head, “I know, but we have our own things to take care of.”

Xiang Yu understood that the two had found their own goals.

They wouldn’t drift aimlessly through life anymore and, clearly, the two got along extremely well, almost as if they’d met too late.

Just like Tie Zhuzi said, even though they’d just met, they were as thick as thieves.

“Before you go, I have to warn you, your boss is no simple man.

Be careful with him,” said Han Feng.

Xiang Yu knew what he meant; Zhong Huashan was not simple, but Xiang Yu was no ordinary person either.

Zhong Huashan wanted to use him, while Xiang Yu was also using him to achieve his own goals.

Han Feng said all he wanted to say before he sighed and spoke, “I’m leaving.” Having said that, he turned around to leave, only then noticing Yuan Huai standing there unmoving and asked, “Why aren’t you going?”

“You’ve finished talking, but I haven’t spoken yet,” Yuan Huai said, somewhat reluctantly.

“…”

Han Feng was somewhat speechless; he’d thought too highly of himself as the protagonist, assuming everything would revolve around him.

He wanted to leave with flair after his speech but overlooked Yuan Huai.

Yuan Huai walked up to Xiang Yu and said with a hint of sentiment, “Thank you.

Without you, I wouldn’t have come to my senses…”

Tie Zhuzi and the others couldn’t take the melodrama and quickly said, “Quit the sappiness, just say what you want to say…”

Yuan Huai, also helpless, then pointed at Tie Zhuzi and the others and said, “You guys, such bad friends, how did I end up knowing you.”

Everyone laughed heartily, creating a warm atmosphere.

“Be careful out there,” Xiang Yu also said with a smile.

Yuan Huai nodded, then suddenly leaned close to Xiang Yu’s ear and whispered, “Don’t trust your superiors too much.

Sometimes, the person you trust the most might be the one who hurts you the deepest.

You should understand what I’m saying.”

After speaking, Yuan Huai smiled lightheartedly.

Xiang Yu knew that the superior referred to wasn’t Zhong Huashan, but rather the higher-ups of his true identity.

Yuan Huai ended up this way because his superiors had betrayed him.

Xiang Yu just nodded, not taking it to heart.

He was directly assigned by Commander Cao, and his immediate superior was Commander Cao.

He knew what kind of person Commander Cao was; he couldn’t be the kind Yuan Huai described.

Clearly, Yuan Huai had been hurt and was reminding Xiang Yu to be wary of such people.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s indifferent attitude, Yuan Huai didn’t say more.

He simply bid farewell and turned to leave.

“We’ll meet again, Xiang Yu.

One day you’ll understand the meaning of my words,” Yuan Huai left behind these words and quickly left with Han Feng.

“Bro Yu, what did he just tell you?” Tie Zhuzi curiously asked at that moment.

“He said he’s taken a fancy to you,” Xiang Yu laughed and then sat down on the sofa…
