CHAPTER 1021: CHAPTER 1021: TENSE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN TWO SIDES

Xiang Yu still stood there calmly, directly facing Wang Qian, his gaze very steady.

Wang Qian also looked at Xiang Yu, trying to find any hint of deceit in his eyes, but she found nothing.

Why would Xiang Yu say he’s not one of them? Why is he so confident? Could he be a deity?

Wang Qian had many questions, but it was not the right time to ask them.

About ten minutes later, two people ran back from afar and stood before Wang Qian, saying, "The man fired a shot and ran, using a sniper rifle similar to the ones in our team’s arsenal."

"What?" Wang Qian frowned slightly, looking at the person.

The person just nodded without continuing.

Wang Qian composed herself and looked at Xiang Yu, saying, "Even if the murderer escaped, it doesn’t prove you’re innocent."

"I don’t want to explain, just remind you, don’t let others use you as a gun. If you and I clash now, who benefits the most? You know better than I do." Xiang Yu said.

Thinking about this, Wang Qian broke out in a cold sweat. If Xiang Yu wasn’t behind this, then she would have become a tool used by others.

Looking at He Tao lying there, Wang Qian sighed inwardly. Their Wolf Fang was renowned internationally, yet they faced setbacks here.

Wang Qian secretly glanced at Xiang Yu, feeling uneasy. She didn’t expect someone with such talent to be hidden in this small city.

If they recruited him into Wolf Fang, he would surely be put to good use. Thinking of this, Wang Qian once again scrutinized Xiang Yu, noting his well-proportioned figure and angular face, more and more resembling someone from Wolf Fang.

"Have you seen enough?" Xiang Yu suddenly said.

Wang Qian’s face inexplicably reddened, she coughed to mask her embarrassment, saying, "We will definitely investigate this matter. If you did it, no matter the cost, we will hold you accountable."

"You better investigate thoroughly and then leave here." Xiang Yu said coldly, looking at Wang Qian.

Wang Qian didn’t know where Xiang Yu’s confidence came from. They were people from Wolf Fang. Anyone with power knew their international status. Yet, this kid spoke so boldly, she couldn’t tell if he had a backing or was just a fool.

"What’s your relationship with our Wolf King?" Wang Qian asked curiously.

"No relationship." Xiang Yu replied candidly, looking at her.

But the more Xiang Yu denied a relationship, the more Wang Qian believed their relationship was unusual.

At this point, there was nothing left to say. Wang Qian found someone to clean up He Tao’s corpse and prepared to leave.

Just a few steps away, Wang Qian suddenly turned to Xiang Yu and said, "What do you think of Wolf Fang?"

Xiang Yu was also taken aback, unsure why she asked this.

"Wolf Fang transcends any one country, specializing in hiring, very dangerous but also very free." Xiang Yu said objectively.

Wang Qian nodded upon hearing this and then left with her people.

Xiang Yu did not stop them, letting the Tianlong team clear the way for them to leave.

Tie Zhuzi watched Wang Qian’s departing figure and said, "Brother Yu, what did she mean?"

"Probably interested in me, wants to choose me as a son-in-law." Xiang Yu said offhandedly.

Now that Wolf Fang people had left, Xiang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Though he felt confident in dealing with them, opposing Wolf Fang wasn’t wise.

They really didn’t need to do that.

Xiang Yu stood there, thought for a moment, and then said to Wu Jing, "Quickly now, have the brothers investigate Lin Chong’s whereabouts. They should be in this city."

Now that He Tao was dead in Wolf Fang, they should also be searching for Lin Chong.

Wu Jing acknowledged and instructed some brothers to clean up the battlefield, while others followed him out.

Xiang Yu, with Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, went to the shooting location. The shooting position was unprocessed, and all traces were fresh. This indicated that the opponent had just arrived.

They tracked from the footprints all the way down, and after walking hundreds of meters, they finally saw tire tracks.

By following the tire tracks, they could find the murderer. Tie Zhuzi had already memorized the scent, and could surely catch up by tracking it.

But tracking this way would be too troublesome, and they didn’t have the resources for it.

"Let’s go back." Xiang Yu said, leading the two back the way they came.

At this moment, in a dark room, two people sat facing each other. They were Lin Chong, leader of Wolf Eye, and his strategist Zhuge Xiaoming.

Then someone suddenly knocked and came in.

"Big brother, the job is done." The person said cautiously.

"Are you sure He Tao is dead?" Zhuge Xiaoming said, his eyes gleaming.

"A bullet to the forehead, definitely dead." The person said firmly.

"Understood, you can go." Lin Chong said.

The person responded and turned to leave.

"Hold on!" At this moment, Zhuge Xiaoming suddenly shouted, then pulled out a gun and shot ’bang’ at the person’s heart, killing him.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chong said anxiously. They were his brothers, after all.

"This must be kept secret, the fewer people know the better; otherwise it becomes our downfall. If others know we killed He Tao, imagine how Wolf Fang will treat us." Zhuge Xiaoming analyzed.

Lin Chong gritted his teeth and nodded, although they were his brothers, as the saying goes, ruthless people succeed. If they wanted revenge on Xiang Yu, they had to be merciless.

"Now that He Tao is dead, they’ll surely look for Xiang Yu. One is a strong dragon, the other a local snake, let them fight. In the end, they won’t be a match for Xiang Yu. Then we’ll strike and eliminate Xiang Yu." Zhuge Xiaoming said confidently with a smile.

Lin Chong nodded, looking at Zhuge Xiaoming with a peculiar gaze. This kid was too cunning, and he had to be wary of him in the future, or he might end up betrayed.

"Is there a problem?" Zhuge Xiaoming saw Lin Chong looking at him and asked with curiosity.

Lin Chong shook his head, saying, "What if they don’t fight?"

A coldness flashed in Zhuge Xiaoming’s eyes as he stated, "If they don’t fight, then we must implement the second plan."

Lin Chong nodded, hoping the first plan would unfold perfectly, as he considered the second plan too wasteful.

When he first saw Wang Qian, he was smitten. If she had to sacrifice, Lin Chong would feel somewhat reluctant.

Zhuge Xiaoming saw Lin Chong’s thoughts and said, "Beauty brings disaster, there’s nothing to regret. After all, it’s just a pawn leading us to success."
