180: Chapter 180: You’re Blocking the Way Forward 180: Chapter 180: You’re Blocking the Way Forward Ouyang Xiu stood there somewhat nervously because he knew the guy in front of him, Ding Sanhuan, was no good, and he was currently tempting Xiang Yu.
Although he hadn’t been with Xiang Yu for long, he had already branded Xiang Yu as a ‘good person’ in his mind.
If Xiang Yu agreed to him, he really didn’t know how to choose.
“Brother Yu!” Ouyang Xiu called out somewhat nervously, truly worried that Xiang Yu might just agree.
Xiang Yu looked at Ouyang Xiu, smiled without saying a word, and then approached Ding Sanhuan and said, “If you’re so impressive, why did you still end up in my hands?”
Xiang Yu’s words made Ding Sanhuan tremble all over, but since the gun was in Xiang Yu’s hands, he couldn’t do anything.
At that moment, he only hated Ding Yongzhi for not arriving yet—it had already been more than ten minutes.
“Today was my oversight; I truly didn’t expect you to be so formidable,” Ding Sanhuan said.
Just then, a convoy of vehicles started driving toward them from a distance.
Seeing this, Ding Sanhuan burst into joy inside—his reinforcements had finally arrived.
Just as the convoy was about to reach them, Ding Sanhuan suddenly shouted and then kicked at Xiang Yu.
“You fool, die now, my rescue team has already arrived!” Ding Sanhuan shouted.
Xiang Yu simply shook his head with a bitter smile, then took several steps back.
Meanwhile, Ding Sanhuan turned to run toward the team led by Ding Yongzhi, thinking he would be safe once he reached there.
But to his surprise, just a few steps into his run, he saw that he didn’t recognize anyone alighting from the vehicles.
Those people all stood in front of their vehicles, looking at him indifferently.
One of them, a tall figure, stood in the middle still holding a person.
“Brother?” Ding Sanhuan recognized the person who looked somewhat like Ding Yongzhi and then shouted.
Indeed, hearing the shout, the man looked up and saw it was Ding Yongzhi.
When Ding Yongzhi saw Ding Sanhuan, he also froze for a moment.
“Weren’t you already gone?
Why are you still here?” No sooner had Ding Yongzhi finished speaking than he saw Xiang Yu standing in the distance.
The moment he saw Xiang Yu, he knew his life was over.
Ding Sanhuan also froze there, bewildered.
The team behind him should have been led by Ding Yongzhi, but there was Ding Yongzhi, being held and looking disheveled, clearly not by his own men.
Tie Zhuzi was holding Ding Yongzhi and took a step forward to throw him onto the ground.
“Brother Yu, are you alright?” When Tie Zhuzi saw blood on Xiang Yu’s arm, he ran over, worried.
Then he turned and glared fiercely at Ding Sanhuan, moving forward to take care of him.
“Zhuzi, he didn’t cause this,” Xiang Yu said.
Xiang Yu walked forward two steps to Ding Yongzhi’s front and said, “Anything last words?”
By then, Ding Yongzhi had accepted his fate, becoming calm.
He sat on the ground, looked up at Xiang Yu, and asked, “What exactly is your relationship with Ning Xiaolu?”
Even without her, I would still kill you because you stood in my way.
Without you, my business in this city would be bigger,” Xiang Yu said with a smirk, crouching.
“Just by yourself?” Ding Yongzhi suddenly laughed, then his expression hardened, “Without me, you can’t connect with them.
And there’s something I haven’t told you.
My younger brother is the leader of that organization.
If you kill us two brothers, he definitely won’t let you go.”
At the last moment, Ding Yongzhi brought up his younger brother.
“I don’t care if it’s your brother or your great uncle, anyone who messes with me, I’ll send them to the afterlife,” Xiang Yu said while grabbing Ding Sanhuan, then in front of Ding Yongzhi, twisted fiercely and broke his neck.
Ding Yongzhi watched as his younger brother was killed right there, feeling a bit unnerved.
Though he had been prepared for death at that moment, he felt fear when it actually arrived.
Ding Yongzhi trembled all over, suddenly knelt down, and said tearfully, “Xiang Yu, it was my fault before, please spare my life for the sake of our past partnership.
When the time comes, I’ll certainly speak well of you to my brother, and hand over all the business here to you.”
“Thanks, but I don’t need it anymore,” Xiang Yu said indifferently, approaching Ding Yongzhi and whispering in his ear, “You owe society too much.”
Before Ding Yongzhi could grasp the meaning of Xiang Yu’s words, his neck was twisted and broken.
Tie Zhuzi, who had long been accustomed to Xiang Yu’s methods, wasn’t surprised.
However, Ouyang Xiu, seeing this neck-twisting move for the first time, felt somewhat uncomfortable in his own neck.
“Zhuzi, clean up the aftermath neatly.
Don’t leave any traces,” Xiang Yu said, then he and Ouyang Xiu got into the car and returned to the villa.
When Xiang Yu returned to the villa, Long Wu had already arranged for Ning Xiaolu to take a bath and change her clothes.
Ning Xiaolu had never been here before and felt somewhat restrained.
Moreover, in the hall on the first floor, a person was tied up—it was Ding Xinglong.
Xinglong hadn’t woken up yet and was still unconscious.
Seeing Xiang Yu’s return, Ning Xiaolu quickly stood up, her face flushing.
At the hotel, she had been so scared that she clung to Xiang Yu’s arm the entire time, but now that the environment had changed and she was no longer scared, she couldn’t help but feel her face burning when she thought about her earlier actions.
In the past, Ding Xinglong had deceived her emotionally and nearly cost her her dignity, so she was the least trusting of men’s words, thinking none of these foul men were any good.
But after meeting Xiang Yu, her thoughts started to shift slightly.
Until today, she suddenly felt that among men, perhaps only Ding Xinglong and his son were bad, while other men were quite nice.
“Take off your shirt; I’ll bandage you up,” Long Wu said, having prepared the medical equipment and approached Xiang Yu.
“It’s just a minor injury,” Xiang Yu said nonchalantly, but seeing Long Wu’s undeniable expression, Xiang Yu then let out a sigh and took off his shirt.
When he took off his shirt, everyone froze, seeing a long knife scar on his chest that was shockingly apparent.
Below the knife scar was a round scar, obviously left by a bullet.
There were many other scars, large and small, covering his entire body.
Another large scar was on his back, inflicted by a branding iron.
Even though Long Wu remained composed, when he saw the multitude of scars, he couldn’t help but shiver and then stared blankly at him.
What kind of past did this man have?
What kind of person was he?
“Even though my muscles are well-developed, you guys don’t have to be so captivated…” Xiang Yu chuckled, breaking the silence.
