CHAPTER 998: CHAPTER 998: YOU ARE THEIR UNDERCOVER AGENT

Gao Mantang talked a lot with Xiang Yu there, mostly about Gao Zhitao and his father.

That night, Xiang Yu was just a listener. Although Gao Mantang was still relatively sober, he was more talkative after drinking.

Xiang Yu knew that Gao Mantang definitely had other things in mind when he came over tonight. If he didn’t say, Xiang Yu wouldn’t ask much.

Finally, Gao Mantang said, "Do you know Wan Shengnan?"

In fact, everyone is good on the surface, but there are still some barriers between the military districts.

Since Wan Shengnan knows Xiang Yu, could Xiang Yu be from another military district? If so, what is his main purpose here?

Gao Mantang is a high-ranking official here, also in charge of the military district’s security. Although he has a good impression of Xiang Yu, he doesn’t really know Xiang Yu.

When he saw Xiang Yu’s expression on the training ground today, Gao Mantang’s heart skipped a beat.

He had long suspected Xiang Yu of being a soldier, and today it seems to be true. He just didn’t know which military district Xiang Yu belonged to.

"That’s right, I know him," Xiang Yu said directly, without evasion.

Gao Mantang didn’t expect Xiang Yu to agree so straightforwardly. He showed a bit of anger and then looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Since you are his subordinate, why didn’t you say so earlier? What is your main purpose here?"

Now Gao Mantang was even more suspicious that Xiang Yu approached Gao Zhitao with a purpose, first getting close to Gao Zhitao, then approaching himself.

"No purpose," Xiang Yu said decisively.

Gao Mantang was so angry that he stood up directly. Since Xiang Yu answered like this, it indicated that Xiang Yu was indeed a soldier under Wan Shengnan.

"You guys leave here tomorrow," Gao Mantang shouted.

Gao Mantang was furious. He was an old hand but now had been deceived by Xiang Yu, and so thoroughly.

Xiang Yu didn’t argue much. The more he explained now, the more suspicious the other party would become. He just poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Gao Mantang looked at Xiang Yu and said.

"I’ll just say this one point, I have no other purpose. As for whether you believe it or not, that’s your business. I will leave here tomorrow," Xiang Yu said calmly.

Originally, he wasn’t interested in this place either. Since the other party doubted him, he might as well leave.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s indifferent attitude, Gao Mantang was somewhat uncertain. Could it be that he really had no purpose? Since he is a soldier, why has he been in this city all along? And judging by his expression at the time, he seemed unwilling to see Wan Shengnan.

"Are you a deserter?" Gao Mantang suddenly concluded and said.

Xiang Yu’s eyes went cold, and he directly looked up at Gao Mantang. The word ’deserter’ deeply stung Xiang Yu. This was the first time he had heard someone call him a deserter.

No wonder Feng Lan and the others insisted on finding out the reason, even at great cost. His feelings for the army were quite deep, and he ended up being branded a deserter, which was hard to accept.

Gao Mantang had never seen such beast-like eyes before. He knew he must have touched Xiang Yu’s sore spot.

A deserter is looked down upon in the military world, but Gao Mantang always felt that Xiang Yu didn’t seem like a deserter.

As long as he wasn’t sent by another military district, everything could be discussed.

Gao Mantang calmed himself down, sat across from Xiang Yu, took a deep breath, drank a sip of tea, and then looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Why did you desert?"

Gao Mantang had now basically determined that Xiang Yu was a deserter. Since he knew, this fact shouldn’t be avoided.

Xiang Yu’s eyes also gradually became gentle. He shook his head and didn’t speak.

He didn’t even know how to say it himself, why he became a deserter. If he said it, Gao Mantang probably wouldn’t believe it.

Moreover, he didn’t even know what his current identity was, which made it hard to explain.

"If you have any difficulties, I can help you. To be honest, my relationship with Major Wan Shengnan is quite good," Gao Mantang said with a frown.

"Thank you, I’ll handle my own affairs," Xiang Yu said firmly.

On this issue, Xiang Yu would not trust anyone. Although Gao Mantang wasn’t bad, he couldn’t even protect his son; how could he guarantee Xiang Yu’s safety?

Seeing this, Gao Mantang didn’t continue. Tonight he determined one thing. Xiang Yu was definitely from the military, and judging by his excellent skills, he wasn’t an ordinary soldier.

"I believe what you said. If you need anything, you can come to me," Gao Mantang paused for a moment, finally stood up, and left.

Xiang Yu sat there quietly by himself, feeling somewhat complex in his heart. Gao Mantang’s words ’you are a deserter’ made Xiang Yu unable to remain calm.

If it weren’t for concerns about Xiao Xuan and the others, Xiang Yu would probably have stormed into the mountainous area of City No. 6 alone by now. There must be some unknowable secrets there.

The next day, when Tie Zhuzi and the others got up, it was 7:30 in the morning. They still had to go watch the competition.

Today’s competition was in the tiered hall, comparing modern technology operations.

When they came out, they saw Xiang Yu sitting on the sofa by himself.

"Xiang Yu, when did you become so diligent?" Gao Zhitao chuckled.

"Can’t sleep thinking about women," Xiang Yu said casually.

"C’mon, you should’ve said so earlier! I couldn’t hold it in last night. Wait, I’ll take you to a fun place tonight," Gao Zhitao said excitedly.

Now was the time to show his value, and he was excited to prepare to explain the situation of that place to Xiang Yu.

Xiao Xuan knew that Xiang Yu was just saying it casually, so he stepped forward and said, "It’s about time, let’s go eat first."

Xiang Yu knew that Gao Zhitao was preparing to talk a lot, but he didn’t want to hear it, so he stood up and walked outside with Xiao Xuan.

"You guys, don’t go. I haven’t finished talking," Gao Zhitao said anxiously.

...

After breakfast, Xiang Yu called a few people over and then smiled, "You guys stay here, I’ll go back first."

Gao Zhitao immediately showed a disdainful expression and then said, "Can’t you stay here for a day? I said I’ll treat you tonight."

Xiang Yu just shook his head and smiled, "I really can’t hold it in anymore. If I stay any longer, there might be trouble."

Finally, Gao Zhitao nodded understandingly. Now he truly recognized Xiang Yu.

Xiao Xuan knew that something must have happened last night, so he said, "Bro, let me go back with you."

Xiang Yu shook his head, "No need, you guys should watch today’s competition, it will be good for you."

Xiang Yu casually said a few more words and then left the three behind and turned to leave.

Xiang Yu wasn’t interested in these competitions, but these things might broaden Xiao Xuan’s horizon.

When he came, there were many checkpoints, but when he left, the inspection was loose.

Xiang Yu left the military district and went directly back to the hotel. At the hotel, he called Xiao Xuan.

"Find a place where no one is," Xiang Yu said.

"Bro, you can say it now," Xiao Xuan knew that Xiang Yu was about to instruct him on something...
