404: Chapter 404: Who is Actually Lying?

Xiang Yu hurriedly made a proper apology to Zhong Huashan.

Zhong Huashan did not seem to blame Xiang Yu, merely gesturing with his hand to indicate that it was all in the past now.

“I’m going to the restroom.” Xiang Yu stood up and then headed toward the bathroom.

As soon as Xiang Yu had entered the restroom, Ding Yongwei couldn’t help saying somewhat indignantly, “Boss, this kid Xiang Yu is clearly talking nonsense, don’t believe what he says.”

Zhong Huashan, however, shook his head and sighed, “Whether what he said is true or not, Shen San is already dead, and we’ll let the matter rest.”

“But what about his brothers?” Ding Yongwei asked worriedly.

Now that Shen San was dead, it was uncertain whether his brothers would come out to make trouble or seek revenge for Shen San.

Zhong Huashan shook his head nonchalantly, “A good portion of his brothers were coerced or lured into following him, rather than joining of their own free will.

Although Shen San’s strength might have surged in the short term to an enviable extent, problems were bound to arise over time.

There would definitely be conflicts within their ranks.

Now that Shen San is dead, their internal strife is sure to escalate.

Without our intervention, they will disintegrate on their own.”

Hearing Zhong Huashan’s analysis, Ding Yongwei felt that the boss made sense and nodded without pursuing the matter any further.

Just then, Luo Lin rushed in from outside.

“Boss, Big Brother, I have something important to report,” Luo Lin said, his face full of anger yet with an indescribable excitement in his words.

“Don’t rush, sit down and tell us slowly,” Ding Yongwei said, noticing that one of Luo Lin’s ears was injured.

He realized Luo Lin must have something to say and quickly offered him a seat.

“Xiang Yu has betrayed you, Big Brother.

He was in cahoots with Shen San and deliberately let him go,” Luo Lin hastened to say.

Zhong Huashan and Ding Yongwei exchanged glances, clearly seeing doubt in each other’s eyes.

“What exactly happened?” Zhong Huashan asked with a serious expression.

Could it be that Xiang Yu was lying just now?

Luo Lin calmed his emotions and then went over the information he had obtained.

“Xiang Yu conspired with Shen San, delaying time there.

My plan was going to succeed soon, but at the critical moment, Shen San’s reinforcements arrived, and I had no choice but to retreat…” Luo Lin recounted the entire situation.

Of course, there was a lot of exaggeration, essentially branding Xiang Yu a complete bastard for betraying the Big Brother.

The version of events Luo Lin told differed somewhat from Xiang Yu’s, and they didn’t know whom to believe.

“Are you saying that Shen San is still alive, and has already escaped?” Zhong Huashan asked, puzzled.

“Exactly, I witnessed Shen San with my own eyes downstairs, he was in that villa,” Luo Lin asserted confidently.

Zhong Huashan looked at Luo Lin, noticing his earnest demeanor which did not seem like he was lying.

At this moment, Zhong Huashan took out his phone and said, “Call Han Xin and Lv Yitian over.”

No sooner had Zhong Huashan hung up the phone, Xiang Yu walked out of the restroom hitching up his trousers, looking refreshed.

He then looked at Luo Lin and said, “I just went to the restroom and heard you chirping away here.

Were you talking behind my back?”

Seeing Xiang Yu, Luo Lin suddenly stood up.

In his mind, Xiang Yu and Shen San were in cahoots, and now that Shen San had escaped, there was no need for Xiang Yu to stay.

“Xiang Yu, you traitor, you’ve already betrayed the boss and now you dare to come back?” Luo Lin said, a bit overexcited.

“What nonsense are you spouting?

Who has betrayed anyone?

You look all tense.

Do you have a guilty conscience?

What happened to your ears?

Did some woman bite them?” Xiang Yu said, then sat down on the sofa.

At this moment, Zhong Huashan and Ding Yongwei were both looking at the two with suspicion, unsure who was telling the truth.

“Xiang Yu, did you just say that Shen San is already dead?” Zhong Huashan asked, looking at Xiang Yu with doubt.

“That’s right, he’s so dead he couldn’t be deader,” Xiang Yu replied confidently.

“You’re talking nonsense.

Shen San isn’t dead at all, and you fled when their reinforcements arrived.

You’re the traitor!

You plotted with Shen San to try and take me down, didn’t you?” Luo Lin said somewhat agitatedly.

Xiang Yu didn’t care at all about Luo Lin’s overreaction and looked at him with disdain.

“To deal with you, I wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble.”

“You…” Luo Lin was infuriated by Xiang Yu’s dismissive look, but with the boss and the big brother here, he couldn’t lay a finger on him.

Even if they weren’t there, he would still not make a move because he was no match for Xiang Yu.

Just then, Han Xin and Lv Yitian knocked and entered the room.

“Boss, did you call for us?” they asked very respectfully.

“Tell us about the situation at that time,” Zhong Huashan ordered solemnly.

Han Xin and Lv Yitian were both major squad leaders under Zhong Huashan.

They took orders only from Zhong Huashan and were impartial, detailing the events fairly and justly.

Han Xin spoke first; his account was similar to Xiang Yu’s.

He didn’t know what Xiang Yu did after entering the villa, but what he described matched Xiang Yu’s personality.

Then it was Lv Yitian’s turn.

He recounted the events and proactively admitted his mistake to Zhong Huashan, having not followed Luo Lin’s command at the time.

Zhong Huashan naturally didn’t blame Lv Yitian, instead giving him a supportive look.

It was clear that they had to retreat in that situation.

After hearing the two men, Luo Lin then turned to Xiang Yu and snorted coldly.

“Their descriptions match.

Why then do you claim Shen San is dead?

Isn’t that deceiving the boss?”

“When did you see him upstairs?” Xiang Yu sneered and asked Luo Lin.

“I saw him just before you went up.

He was clearly upstairs,” Luo Lin replied stubbornly.

“Did you see Shen San after I came out of the building?” Xiang Yu asked with a sneer.

Hearing Xiang Yu’s words, Luo Lin suddenly froze, then looked at Xiang Yu with disbelief.

“Are you saying you killed Shen San in the time you went upstairs?”

By this point, Zhong Huashan and Ding Yongwei had figured out what had happened.

Xiang Yu had used his brains to easily take care of Shen San in the villa.

Luo Lin was unaware of this, so he misunderstood Xiang Yu, thinking he had turned traitor.

“Impossible!

Xiang Yu, stop spouting nonsense.

There were at least twenty people in that villa at the time, and you were the only one who went in—and came back without a scratch.

Nobody would believe your story,” Luo Lin said, somewhat out of control.

He had thought he could turn the tables and leave Xiang Yu with no way out, but the outcome turned out to be unthinkably different.

He couldn’t believe that Xiang Yu had killed Shen San in the short time he was inside.

The very concept didn’t exist in Luo Lin’s mind because he simply couldn’t believe such a thing could happen, but now it had actually happened, and it was Xiang Yu who had made it happen.

“What did you just say?” At that moment, Zhong Huashan suddenly looked at Luo Lin with an icy stare…
