421: Chapter 421 Xiang Yu’s Assassination Plan 421: Chapter 421 Xiang Yu’s Assassination Plan “Come to my office,” Xiang Yu said directly.
Long Wu prepared the meal, Xiang Yu ate a bit, and then went back to his office.
“What’s up with him?” Long Wu looked at Tie Zhuzi with puzzled eyes.
Tie Zhuzi initially wanted to say he was missing a woman, but he swallowed his words and instead said, “There’s an event coming up that Brother Yu needs to attend, he might be preparing for it now.”
Long Wu nodded and didn’t continue the inquiry.
About half an hour later, Wang Ze arrived alone at Xiang Yu’s office.
At that time, Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan were also sitting there.
“What’s the situation?” Xiang Yu asked, sitting there.
Sitting there, Wang Ze collected his thoughts and said, “Tie Sanjiang’s past background can’t be traced.
When he came to this city, he brought a group of people over and then started to expand here.
He is domineering and rather brutal.
When he first arrived, he faced opposition from several forces, but eventually, he wiped them all out.
In the northern part of the city, there’s a Stone Mountain, and after Tie Sanjiang arrived, he took that piece of land.
At that time, he even killed someone, causing quite an uproar, yet he faced no consequences.
His fortune started from there, he built a cemetery on the mountain, and also started quarrying stone.
As his influence grew, so did his business, and eventually, it spread into the city, becoming what it is now.”
“What’s his current strength?” Xiang Yu pressed on.
“Now, he owns countless properties, and he has so many brothers everywhere.
He also monopolizes the entire construction materials industry.
Any construction site in the city needs materials supplied by companies under Tie Sanjiang’s name.
There were a few who tried to compete with him before, but they mysteriously disappeared, and afterwards, no one dared to enter the industry.
Now, Tie Sanjiang’s influence has surpassed our current big boss, he is influential in both the underworld and legitimate businesses, and he is the kind who could cause a significant tremor with just a stomp,” Wang Ze said, detailedly, showing that he had thoroughly investigated.
“Did you find anything about his travel patterns?” Xiang Yu asked.
Wang Ze furrowed his brow and continued, “This man is very cautious, usually without a routine.
Moreover, where he goes and whom he meets are always decided spontaneously.
“Spit it out,” Xiang Yu urged, seeing him hesitate.
“I heard that on the fifteenth of every month, he goes to Jade Spring Villa for a hot spring bath, but I haven’t been able to verify this information yet, so I’m not sure,” Wang Ze said.
“How did you get this information?” Xiang Yu pressed further.
“One of our brothers, his good friend is one of Tie Sanjiang’s men.
He heard it unintentionally,” Wang Ze said.
Xiang Yu sat there, tapping his head, deep in thought.
The fifteenth was the day after tomorrow; time was tight.
But this was a great opportunity to take down Tie Sanjiang.
For someone like Tie Sanjiang, who would be extremely cautious, it wouldn’t be easy to get a chance to meet him.
If everything Wang Ze said was correct, then Tie Sanjiang was not a good person, and killing him would not cause any psychological burden.
However, since Tie Sanjiang was a leader of the criminal underworld, killing him would definitely throw the underground forces into chaos, and it was hard to predict what might happen afterward.
“Brother Yu, let me handle it, we just need to find his hideout.
Then we can set up an ambush outside, and the moment he comes out, just take him down with one shot,” Tie Zhuzi said simply.
He knew Xiang Yu’s capabilities well; just give Xiang Yu a sniper rifle, and he wouldn’t be inferior to Xiao Xuan.
“Tie Sanjiang’s whereabouts are unpredictable, and he doesn’t really have a hideout, so where can we wait for him?
We might end up waiting a year without even seeing him,” Xiang Yu analyzed.
Wang Ze then shared some more information about Tie Sanjiang, which was not very useful for Xiang Yu’s assassination attempt but did prove that Tie Sanjiang was a scoundrel, a villain capable of all kinds of evil.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu’s resolve to kill the man only grew stronger.
Even if it weren’t an assignment, he would still find an opportunity to take the man down.
Xiang Yu told Wang Ze to go back first and cautioned him not to talk about their investigation.
Otherwise, if Tie Sanjiang ended up dead later, the people in the underworld would point their fingers at Xiang Yu, which would put him at a disadvantage.
“Brother, what should we do?
How about I secretly take Luo Lin down?
Once he’s gone, the position of the head of the guard will naturally be yours,” Xiao Xuan suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhuzi slapped his thigh joyfully and said, “This idea isn’t bad, why didn’t I think of that before?
Xiao Xuan, you’re quite clever.”
Xiao Xuan was speechless; he had considered this option a long time ago.
But it was a last resort, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.
He believed that Xiang Yu had also considered it, and he was merely reminding him.
Xiang Yu, however, shook his head, rejecting Xiao Xuan’s suggestion.
He was currently competing with Luo Lin, and if Luo Lin were taken out now, everyone would assume it was Xiang Yu’s doing, even if it wasn’t.
Then, Zhong Huashan would definitely become wary of Xiang Yu, meaning that even if Xiang Yu did win, he might not be able to take over the position of head guard.
Seeing Xiang Yu’s troubled expression, Tie Zhuzi grew increasingly anxious as he felt his seemingly good methods were not being accepted by Xiang Yu.
At that moment, Xiang Yu suddenly said to Xiao Xuan and the others, “Starting tomorrow, I will be gone for two days.
If you two don’t have anything pressing, don’t roam around and make sure to protect Long Wu and Zhong Qin.”
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhuzi and the others were momentarily stunned; Xiang Yu was leaving for two days, and in two days, it would be the 15th.
“Brother, you can’t take this risk,” Xiao Xuan quickly said.
Tie Sanjiang was different from the others; the guy had significant influence and was very cunning.
If Xiang Yu went alone recklessly, he might encounter unexpected dangers.
Tie Zhuzi also realized this and anxiously said to Xiang Yu, “Brother Yu, I’ll go with you.
I want to see what this damned guy is made of.” Tie Zhuzi was not afraid to die; he wanted to go through this with Xiang Yu.
“Enough said, you two aren’t to go anywhere these next two days, just make sure to protect Long Wu and Zhong Qin,” Xiang Yu insisted, worried that Luo Lin would send someone to harm Long Wu after he left, though Zhong Qin would be relatively safe since she was Zhong Huashan’s daughter, and not many would dare hurt her within the organization.
Although Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan were anxious, since Xiang Yu had made his decision, there was nothing they could do.
The reason Xiang Yu didn’t want them involved was precisely because Zhong Huashan had stated that their assignment had to be done by him and Luo Lin alone.
If Tie Zhuzi and others were involved, it would be easy for Luo Lin to gain leverage.
Moreover, Xiang Yu didn’t want them to take risks.
He could easily adapt to situations alone, but with the two of them, it could become more cumbersome.
Moreover, Tie Zhuzi’s imposing figure was too conspicuous; the average person would be frightened upon seeing him, making it easy for him to be exposed.
As for Xiao Xuan, who wasn’t good at talking, he might also give them away in a critical situation; thus, Xiang Yu’s going alone was the best option…
