154: Chapter 154: Xiang Yu’s Impulsive Behavior 154: Chapter 154: Xiang Yu’s Impulsive Behavior Xiang Yu got out of the car and, without a word, slapped Liang Zi across the face with a smack.
Liang Zi was not one of Xiang Yu’s subordinates; he was just seeking Xiang Yu’s help.
Moreover, Liang Zi believed he held a secret of Xiang Yu’s and therefore placed himself on equal, if not higher, footing than Xiang Yu.
If Xiang Yu didn’t help him, he planned to reveal that Xiang Yu had shot Zhu Qingfang.
He was certain that Xiang Yu would be scared, knowing that Zhu Qingfang had many brothers below him who would definitely cause trouble for Xiang Yu to fight for the boss’s position.
Liang Zi saw that there was no one behind Xiang Yu, just the two of them, and he wanted to scare Xiang Yu with his words.
But, when he saw the terrifying look in Xiang Yu’s eyes, he swallowed his words.
Liang Zi didn’t say anything but spat out a mouthful of blood-tinged spittle, expressing his dissatisfaction.
He knew why Xiang Yu was angry — because his incorrect information had resulted in someone getting hurt.
And the person who was hurt seemed to be very important.
Shi Jian had bellowed at him, and now Xiang Yu had come and slapped him.
“Lead the way, go find Zhang Nan,” Xiang Yu said indifferently and unmistakably.
“What?” Liang Zi couldn’t believe what he was hearing, almost thinking he had heard wrong.
They had just barely escaped from death’s door, and now he was sending them back; he was truly terrified.
Liang Zi had now given up any thoughts of competing for the top position because Zhang Nan and his group were too strong.
Although he knew before that they were powerful, he hadn’t expected them to be this strong; it seemed he had still been hiding his strength before.
“No way, with just these people, aren’t we clearly going to our deaths?
So many of us were beaten back just now,” Liang Zi disagreed.
Xiang Yu looked at the people behind Liang Zi, their eyes filled with fear, unsure where Liang Zi had found such a useless bunch.
To send these people into battle would only be counterproductive; the battle hadn’t even started, and they were already running scared.
“Are you going or not?” Xiang Yu asked indifferently.
At the sound of Xiang Yu’s voice, Liang Zi shuddered all over.
He felt the killing intent emanating from Xiang Yu, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, “It’s not that I don’t want to go, but going there is pointless.
Why should we go just to die for nothing?”
At that moment, Liang Zi’s voice became somewhat pleading.
He really didn’t understand why Xiang Yu was so bold.
Now, he deeply regretted ever getting to know Xiang Yu, regretted ever dealing with him.
If he could do it over, he’d rather hide far away alone than ever provoke Xiang Yu, this plague bringer.
Xiang Yu didn’t hesitate; he turned around, took a gun out of Tie Zhuzi’s embrace, and put the loaded gun against Liang Zi’s head.
The brothers behind Liang Zi hadn’t expected this turn of events; they scrambled to grab their guns, and some, because of their nerves, accidentally discharged their weapons.
The sound of the gunshot terrified Liang Zi; he knelt down, thinking he was about to die, his body going limp.
After about thirty seconds, he came to his senses, slapped his face to make sure he was still alive, and then shouted to those behind him, “All of you idiots, put your guns away!”
The men behind Liang Zi were already scared, and at his shout, they fumbled and holstered their guns.
One of them even started crying loudly in the back, creating a deeply pessimistic atmosphere at the scene.
Liang Zi, trembling all over, stood up and then mustered the courage to say to Xiang Yu, “I’ll go with you.”
“Get in the car,” Xiang Yu said, then turned and got into the car without another word.
For some reason, Xiang Yu now seemed very imposing to Liang Zi; he could only look up to him.
Liang Zi also had a gun in his hand, but he never dared to draw it.
Liang Zi got into Xiang Yu’s car and then sat there in silence.
Tie Zhuzi didn’t need him to give directions.
Liang Zi was now desperate.
Going might mean death, but if he didn’t go, he would die anyway.
He would rather live a few more minutes, hoping for a miracle to occur.
“It’s not far ahead, let’s walk over there,” Liang Zi suggested quietly as they approached the location.
He glanced at Xiang Yu, who remained silent, his gaze coldly fixed on the villa ahead.
“Tie Zhuzi, give me the gun and wait here.
Liang Zi, get out of the car with me,” Xiang Yu commanded.
Tie Zhuzi parked the car in a concealed spot.
He had intended to join Xiang Yu, but he paused when he heard what Xiang Yu said.
“No need to say more, just wait here,” Xiang Yu asserted without room for dispute.
“Should I wait here too?” Liang Zi asked cautiously.
Xiang Yu didn’t respond, but a look from him frightened Liang Zi so much that he quickly jumped out of the car.
He took the two guns handed over by Tie Zhuzi, and Xiang Yu, armiumed, got out as well.
“Describe the layout inside,” Xiang Yu said as he walked directly towards the villa.
Liang Zi, trembling, hid behind Xiang Yu, doubting himself— if they encountered someone, would he be so scared as to drop to the ground on the spot?
As they were about to reach the villa, Liang Zi quickly described the interior in the fastest pace he could muster.
Tie Zhuzi watched helplessly as Xiang Yu, armed openly, walked towards the villa.
He was burning with anxiety.
If Xiang Yu went in , he might encounter unforeseen danger.
He knew the capabilities of the people inside— they didn’t seem like ordinary individuals but appeared to have undergone professional training, possessing a demeanor similar to Wu Jing’s.
Just then, Tie Zhuzi’s phone suddenly rang—it was Shi Jian calling.
“Where are you?” Shi Jian sounded worried.
When Xiang Yu had left, they had seen the look in his eyes.
They were afraid, worried that Xiang Yu might impulsively do something rash.
At that moment, Tie Zhuzi wasn’t paying attention because he was watching Xiang Yu boldly walk inside, feeling totally helpless.
He always followed Xiang Yu’s orders without question.
Tie Zhuzi quickly briefed Shi Jian on the situation, causing Shi Jian to explode in anger.
“Zhuzi, what are you doing?
How could you let him go alone?
What were you thinking?” Shi Jian was frantic.
Normally, he never questioned what Xiang Yu did because he believed that Xiang Yu was always composed, and his actions were always correct.
But today, because of Long Zaitian’s injury, he had lost his composure.
Tie Zhuzi also felt a surge of anger but knew shouting wouldn’t solve anything despite hearing Shi Jian yell.
He was merely following Xiang Yu’s orders, but now shouting wouldn’t solve any problems.
Suppressing his anger, Tie Zhuzi tried to remain calm and asked, “What should we do now?”
“Carefully follow behind Xiang Yu to ensure his safety.
I am on my way,” Shi Jian said before hanging up the phone and rushing outside.
Despite his injured shoulder, Long Zaitian, too, disregarded his wound and followed Shi Jian into the car…
