CHAPTER 1011: CHAPTER 1011: THE COLLISION OF TWO FORCES

Xiao Xuan couldn’t stand watching from the car, so he jumped out and stood in front of Gao Mantang to say a few words.

"What do you mean?" Gao Mantang asked Xiao Xuan in confusion.

"What do I mean? Go and check the back, then you’ll know." Xiao Xuan said impatiently.

Gao Mantang suspiciously glanced at Xiao Xuan, then took the lead heading toward the back of the truck.

The guards hurried to the front to protect Gao Mantang’s safety.

When they opened the back truck doors, everyone was stunned, seeing several people lying behind the truck.

These people were exactly the missing ones.

When the soldiers saw this scene, they all surrounded Xiang Yu with guns.

Their thinking now was interesting; Xiang Yu drove them back, so he must have been the one who captured them.

Gao Mantang was both surprised and delighted to see these people. How did Xiang Yu find them? Or did Xiang Yu use these people to exchange for Tie Zhuzi?

He turned to look at Xiang Yu, only to see Xiang Yu standing there with an indifferent face.

"Let them go," Gao Mantang ordered.

After hearing this, Xiang Yu called for Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan to head outside. Xiang Yu came with anger, and didn’t expect Gao Mantang to capture Tie Zhuzi. If Tie Zhuzi hadn’t shown up with a chicken leg today, he might have lost control and questioned Gao Mantang.

"Bro, the army meals are really good; they taste great," Tie Zhuzi said while gnawing on a chicken leg in his hand.

"Really? Let’s have a feast there if we have time," Xiang Yu laughed.

The three strolled towards the exit, and just as they were about to leave the mountainous area, a car chased up from behind.

"Get in, I’ll drive you back," Gao Zhitao shouted from the car.

The three didn’t hesitate and jumped into the car.

Gao Zhitao laughed from above, "My grandpa asked me to come and send you off. He just told me to apologize for the mistake he made. He also said you all are welcome to visit the military area anytime if you get the chance."

"Don’t try to speak up for your grandfather, if he was sincere, he’d come himself," Tie Zhuzi said irritably.

Gao Zhitao only chuckled without saying much. He understood Gao Mantang’s character; even if wrong, he would never admit it. Reaching this point only shows he’s somewhat regretful.

"I suggest, Tie Zhuzi treat us, and we go have fun," Gao Zhitao said happily.

Knowing now that Tie Zhuzi is rich, he can enjoy without any burden.

"Why should I treat?" Tie Zhuzi frowned.

"Because you have a lot of money, enough to never run out," Gao Zhitao grinned.

...

Xiang Yu returned to the hotel, while the others went crazy outside. Especially Gao Zhitao, now knowing Tie Zhuzi is loaded, he doesn’t worry about having enough fun.

The next day, after Xiang Yu finished his workout, he coincidentally saw a police car parked at the hotel entrance.

"Xiang Yu." A police officer stood there straight.

Xiang Yu looked closely; "Wow, isn’t that Gao Zhitao? Didn’t expect this kid to look quite handsome in a police uniform," he laughed.

"What are you doing here?" Xiang Yu asked with a smile.

"Came to see you guys, starting work officially today, so less time later," Gao Zhitao said as he went upstairs with Xiang Yu.

When Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan saw Gao Zhitao in a uniform, they were also a bit surprised.

After donning the uniform, Gao Zhitao appeared more mature, less of a joker.

Indeed, people in different positions should project the charisma of their status.

Looking at Gao Zhitao’s serious demeanor, who’d think this guy would be a boastful person once he took the uniform off.

After sitting for a while, Gao Zhitao then left downstairs.

He’s the police chief, the top leader. Though no one would say anything if he skipped work, he still follows discipline.

After Gao Zhitao left, Xiang Yu then said to the two: "Prepare yourselves; we might be leaving for a while soon."

Tie Zhuzi got excited hearing they might go out again and asked Xiang Yu, "Where are we going?"

"Fourth City," Xiang Yu replied directly.

Fourth City was once Wolf Eye’s headquarters. After Wolf Eye left, Wu Jing has been vigilant in the city.

Recently, Wu Jing noticed many strangers entering the city, causing instability.

Though adversaries hid well, Wu Jing still detected them. Realizing the situation, he first called Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu instructed Wu Jing not to act hastily, waiting for him to arrive first.

Wu Jing followed Xiang Yu’s plan, knowing the opponents were obscure, unaware of where Wolf Eye’s leader Lin Chong recruited people, or whom he recruited. A hasty move would not only expose them but give the enemies a chance to retake the city.

Excited about going to Fourth City, Tie Zhuzi hurriedly went to prepare.

Xiao Xuan frowned at Xiang Yu and asked, "Are they back?"

Xiang Yu nodded without speaking. His biggest fear was Lin Chong really bringing Wolf Fang’s people.

Now many have infiltrated Fourth City, while Wu Jing and his men remain low, with no actions.

On the surface, Fourth City seems calm and peaceful, as if stable and clear of unrest.

But, in reality, the tension here is high, with both forces hiding without acting.

Xiang Yu’s team rested for a day in Second City. Around eight o’clock at night, they finally set off.

During the extinction of Wolf Eye, two key figures weren’t captured, one being its leader Lin Chong, the other their strategist Zhuge Xiaoming.

Zhuge Xiaoming, an intelligent yet conceited individual.

Since arriving in the city, Xiang Yu encountered several surname Zhuge individuals, all sharing a common trait—being smart.

Perhaps influenced by history and culture, they all considered themselves descendants of Zhuge Liang, delving into strategies, leading to their many crafty schemes.

Second City isn’t far from Fourth City, as Tie Zhuzi sped the way and arrived at Fourth City around one o’clock in the morning.

Wu Jing and Zhang Dongxu met Xiang Yu.

Everyone expressed sentiments upon meeting. Tie Zhuzi especially went straight up and punched Zhang Dongxu.

"Kid, why’re you so skinny here? Being a groom every day?" Tie Zhuzi laughed heartily.

Unashamed, Zhang Dongxu replied, "Of course. I am almost at the brink of exhaustion now."
