CHAPTER 1210: CHAPTER 1210: HE WAS ABANDONED BY THE WORLD

"We’ll go together," Han Feng stood up and said.

Wu Jing nodded in agreement. After all, Han Feng was present at the scene, and having him along would save a lot of effort.

"I’ll go with you," Yuan Huai also stood up and said.

Now he had already gathered usable personnel from the Hongmen, and Xiang Yu, as the leader of Hongmen, must be found.

Xiao Xuan had primarily returned this time to allocate manpower. Seeing everyone ready, he stood up, preparing to go back with them.

When Xiao Xuan stood up, he finally noticed the one-armed man sitting at one side. When he saw the man, he paused in surprise, then said: "Gao Zhitao comes here every week."

Gao Lianfeng is Gao Zhitao’s father. Upon seeing this person for the first time, Xiao Xuan immediately recognized them; the father and son resembled each other too closely.

"Zhitao comes here?" Gao Lianfeng became somewhat anxious upon hearing that his son visited this place.

Xiao Xuan nodded, "Gao Zhitao is good friends with Brother Yu. He comes here every week to see if Brother Yu has returned."

Gao Lianfeng was nervous. Now that he was handicapped, he didn’t know how Gao Zhitao would react upon seeing him.

"I should go with you to find Xiang Yu," Gao Lianfeng said anxiously. He was genuinely unprepared to face his son.

After all, it had been many years since they last met, and he didn’t know what to say when they did meet.

Xiao Xuan shook his head, "Thank you, but don’t get involved in this matter. When you see Gao Zhitao, I hope you won’t tell him about Xiang Yu’s situation."

Gao Lianfeng quickly nodded in agreement. He still didn’t know that his son had become the Director of the Public Security Bureau.

"Let’s head out now," Wu Jing said a little impatiently.

The few of them nodded, then each followed their own itinerary and organized vehicles.

"You’ll stay here. Zhitao will definitely come in a couple of days," Xiao Xuan said while looking at Gao Lianfeng.

Gao Lianfeng nodded aimlessly, unsure of what to say.

"I’ll be waiting for you in City Six," Xiao Xuan said, then took the lead and went downstairs.

Wu Jing and Yuan Huai also went downstairs one after the other.

Gao Lianfeng sat alone on the sofa, restless, then got up and started pacing.

He spent the day in a state of anxiety, sleeping on the sofa at night, constantly imagining how he should face his son.

Having not seen each other for years, he wondered how Gao Zhitao would look at him now.

In the past, he was a sharp blade in the army, the pride of his father. But now, he was merely a disabled person.

Yuan Huai and Wu Jing hurried downstairs, but just as Yuan Huai jumped into the car, his phone rang; it was Jin Guozhong calling.

"Poison Rose sent word that the Qing Gang is making moves," Jin Guozhong said very seriously.

Yuan Huai frowned at once. Now that Xiang Yu was missing, life or death unknown, and coincidentally, the Qing Gang was causing trouble, he was at a loss.

Sitting in the car for quite a while, he finally called Xiao Xuan.

"There’s danger for Hongmen now, I can’t leave here. Let Poison Rose go with you," Yuan Huai said.

Poison Rose was now responsible for Dark Department investigations, having accumulated some experience in that field. Sending her might be helpful.

Xiao Xuan listened on the phone for a moment, without speaking, then directly hung up.

Now, his heart was with Xiang Yu; nothing else mattered to him.

Xiao Xuan drove directly towards City Six, with Wu Jing following behind. Members of the Tianlong Squad were also preparing actively.

On the way, Poison Rose got in touch with Xiao Xuan, learned his location, and brought people along to catch up.

Xiao Xuan led the Tianlong Squad and Poison Rose’s team to City Six. By the time they arrived, it was already six days since the incident occurred.

When Xiao Xuan and the others arrived in front of the mountain, everything had changed. Fences had been built around the perimeter, and walls on the path up the mountain, with a sign on one side of the wall reading: *** Nature Reserve, No Admittance for Non-Staff.

Xiao Xuan glanced at the sign, hesitating to intrude when Wu Jing suddenly stopped him, pointing towards a higher spot.

There stood two soldiers, holding guns, standing straight, clearly of military origin.

"It’s not just them; there are many more up there," Poison Rose said seriously, looking at the mountain.

"Zhuzi is still in there," Xiao Xuan said anxiously.

With Tie Zhuzi’s stubborn nature, if he didn’t want to come out, no one could force him.

"We can’t rush this matter, we must plan carefully," Wu Jing said as he pulled Xiao Xuan away, leading him down the mountain.

They still didn’t know what was going on, or why there were suddenly so many soldiers stationed there, so they dared not act rashly.

Arriving at a secluded place at the base of the mountain, Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "It’s been so many days; if we can’t find Brother soon, I’m afraid..."

"Let’s see if there’s another way up the mountain," Wu Jing suggested.

The few of them nodded, then began searching for a way up the mountain separately. They agreed to reconvene at eight in the evening.

Among them, whether it was Xiao Xuan, Wu Jing, or Poison Rose, all were skilled, and finding an entrance up the mountain shouldn’t have been a problem.

They each took their men and dispersed.

Time passed quickly, and around eight in the evening, they arrived at the meeting place on time.

But all of their faces were heavy with concern.

"Every entrance is guarded, sneaking up quietly is impossible," Wu Jing said, frowning.

After discussing for a long time without finding a better solution, they each went to rest. The next day, Xiao Xuan and the others continued to search but still found no clues.

Three days passed in succession, and the soldiers showed no signs of leaving; instead, more were deployed there.

Although Wu Jing and the others were also professionally trained, they wouldn’t easily clash with the army; that would be asking for trouble.

Another four days passed without a single lead.

That midday, everyone sat together. Xiao Xuan was the first to speak, "You take the people and leave first."

Though Wu Jing and Poison Rose were reluctant, the situation was indeed like that; even if they stayed, it would only be a waste of time.

"What about you?" Wu Jing asked, looking at Xiao Xuan.

"You don’t need to worry about me," Xiao Xuan said with no expression on his face.

There was a moment of silence among them, but ultimately Wu Jing and Poison Rose left.

They were completely ineffective here. Originally, Xiao Xuan had called them, thinking that with a large enough group, they could find Xiang Yu in the mountains.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes. Who would have thought that the army would suddenly be stationed here? Not only was Xiang Yu unreachable, but even Tie Zhuzi was now out of contact.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of loss, as if the whole world had abandoned him...
