Chapter 396 - 396 396 Shen San's Master Plan

396: Chapter 396 Shen San’s Master Plan 396: Chapter 396 Shen San’s Master Plan Xiang Yu thought for a moment, his head bowed.

Clearly, Zhong Huashan had no intention of killing Shen San when he sought to capture him.

Shen San, whose crimes were heinous and inhumane, must be killed.

With this in mind, Xiang Yu looked up at Zhong Huashan and said, “Boss, weapons have no feelings, and accidents are inevitable during a mission.”

Zhong Huashan, unaware of what Xiang Yu wanted to say, responded, “Speak your mind.”

“What I mean is, what if Shen San refuses to surrender and orders his men to resist?” Xiang Yu pressed.

“Try to take him alive if possible.

If it can’t be done, then there’s no helping it,” Zhong Huashan sighed.

That was exactly what Xiang Yu had been waiting to hear.

At that moment, two people came in and reported to Zhong Huashan that everything was ready.

Only then did Zhong Huashan introduce the two men to Xiang Yu and Luo Lin, instructing them to follow their commands.

The two men promptly responded with respect, as they recognized Xiang Yu and Luo Lin and knew that one of them would soon become the head of the bodyguard team, and thus treated them with the utmost reverence.

Xiang Yu could hardly wait any longer and told Zhong Huashan he was going downstairs.

The captain followed him down as well.

“What’s your name?” Xiang Yu asked the man.

“Han Xin,” the man replied briskly.

“How many people have we deployed for this operation?” Xiang Yu inquired further.

“Just from our third unit, we’ve deployed fifty people, and the first unit has sent out sixty,” Han Xin said, indicating that the first unit was likely the one led by Luo Lin.

“Where are they now?” Xiang Yu asked.

“They’re hiding in every corner, ready to appear immediately at my command,” Han Xin stated.

“Good.

Do you know where Shen San is now?” Xiang Yu probed.

“The boss has already had us investigate.

Right now, Shen San is surely in his private villa, fifty kilometers from here, secluded with a great view, quite similar to this mountain estate,” Han Xin explained earnestly.

Xiang Yu was the boss’s favored one, and Han Xin certainly didn’t want to offend him.

“Tell the brothers to head out, and you navigate,” Xiang Yu gestured for Xiao Xuan to take the passenger seat, instructing Han Xin to drive.

Xiang Yu now had information about Shen San, and Luo Lin must know it too.

Given his eagerness to achieve a quick victory, he’d surely be heading there right now.

If Xiang Yu were to arrive late, it could jeopardize the whole operation.

Han Xin made a phone call to get his men moving, then drove off toward the destination with Xiang Yu and Xiao Xuan.

Xiang Yu had thought Shen San’s private villa would not be far from where the boss was held, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.

Shen San, the old fox, had obviously put in a lot of effort to recruit and build his strength.

Xiang Yu leading his men there with fierce momentum, Shen San might already know and be lying in ambush.

But these were not Xiang Yu’s concerns; his main goal was to kill Shen San.

With Shen San dead, along with the demise of his top general Li Tian, his power would surely crumble, relegating it to a second-rate force, and it would then be easy for Xiang Yu to eliminate the others.

“What do we do now?” Han Xin turned to Xiang Yu at that point.

Xiang Yu was now the supreme commander, and Han Xin had to listen to his orders.

“Let the brothers go and stand by.

Luo Lin and his team should have taken action by now,” Xiang Yu said.

Han Xin felt somewhat surprised.

Since the boss had instructed him to follow Xiang Yu’s plan, Xiang Yu should have a foolproof strategy.

However, looking at Xiang Yu now, it seemed he had no strategy at all, appearing as if he were about to charge forward in a desperate struggle.

But since Xiang Yu was in charge of the assignment, all responsibility fell to him.

Han Xin didn’t care much, deciding to just follow Xiang Yu’s lead.

In a mansion on the southern side of the city, Shen San was sitting on a sofa in the grand hall on the first floor, with more than a dozen people standing behind him.

There were at least twenty people patrolling around the villa.

“What time is it?” Shen San, lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, asked.

“12:30 a.m.,” one of them responded.

Hearing this, Shen San sighed and murmured to himself, “Li Tian, oh Li Tian, you must succeed.”

Right then, Shen San’s phone suddenly rang.

“Big brother, the men are all out of the mountain, all the documents have been destroyed, and all evidence is gone,” said a voice on the phone.

After hearing this, Shen San nodded and said, “You guys go ahead.

Leave that place and rendezvous at the location I specified.

I’ll be there shortly.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen San looked around at the mansion he was about to leave with a sense of reluctance.

Since the boss had escaped from the mountain, Shen San had been prepared to depart.

Although he had been meticulous, there was always a chink in the armor.

If Zhong Huashan conducted a thorough investigation, it would be easy to trace the matter back to him.

When Zhong Huashan got back and called several of their big shots, Shen San was hesitating between fleeing or facing the music.

In the end, he chose to go.

Zhong Huashan led them to Xiang Yu’s place.

At the beginning, Zhong Huashan did not mention the incident, only bringing it up at the very end.

But then, Mo Lan pressed hard, insisting that Ding Yongwei was the murderer.

This thrilled Shen San immensely—if they could find a scapegoat, it would be perfect.

Plus, Ding Yongwei fit the profile for the crime.

Watching Ding Yongwei being taken away, Shen San had already made a plan for Li Tian to assassinate Ding Yongwei and then stage a suicide.

If that worked out, he would be free and clear.

If Ding Yongwei died, Shen San could take the opportunity to take over everything he had.

By then, he would truly be the most powerful man.

It would then become much easier to deal with Zhong Huashan.

The stakes of the mission were significant.

If successful, Shen San would soar to great heights; if exposed, he would certainly be assassinated by the boss.

It was now half-past midnight, and there was still no news from Li Tian, which left Shen San increasingly anxious.

Li Tian was his trusted lieutenant and skilled in combat; Shen San relied heavily on him, thus always sending him for important tasks.

Li Tian would surely not let him down.

However, the situation seemed different now.

It was late, and still, there was no message from him.

Shen San stood up and paced back and forth.

He looked at his watch; another ten minutes had passed.

Before leaving, Li Tian had made it clear that if there was no news from him by 1 a.m., Shen San should leave first.

Originally, Li Tian’s plan seemed sound—he would lurk and wait for the opportunity to strike.

To his surprise, the defenses were so light, and he managed to sneak in easily.

But little did he know, it was all a trap laid out for him.

At this very moment, Shen San was in turmoil.

There were only ten minutes left.

If Li Tian didn’t return, it would mean the mission had failed.

If it failed, Shen San would certainly be exposed.

Although he knew Li Tian was a brave man, compared to the crafty fox Zhong Huashan, he was nothing.

Shen San paced back and forth, cursing that time was flying by too quickly…
