626: Chapter 626: Clarify the Next Steps 626: Chapter 626: Clarify the Next Steps Xiang Yu laid out several issues in front of him and analyzed them comprehensively.

Currently, the Evil God was threatening their safety, and since Feng Lan was a member of the Evil God organization, he just happened to have some questions for her.

On the other hand, there were threats from Wu Yue and Zhou Zhengming.

But according to Shi Jian’s investigation, neither had any regard for matters within the city; their main goal was the mineral resources outside of the city.

This meant that their conflict with Xiang Yu and his group wasn’t significant.

“Let’s not provoke Wu Yue and Zhou Zhengming for now, and as for the coal mine, we won’t get involved.

Let’s stabilize the environment within the city first.

The city is bound to be chaotic for a while.

Shi Jian, you take the brothers and clear out the remaining forces,” Shi Jian advised.

Shi Jian nodded, then looked at Xiang Yu and asked, “What about Gao Jiang and his group?”

Gao Jiang was the second in command under Gao Leiming, and he had a loyal following.

When they left earlier, they were convinced Qin Liang would take out Xiang Yu.

They’re probably figuring out how to deal with Qin Liang right now.

If they knew Xiang Yu was still alive, one could only imagine what their expressions would be like.

“It depends on their behavior.

If they can’t recognize their place, then take them out directly.

If they’re sensible, just dissolve their organization,” Xiang Yu declared bluntly.

Even though he didn’t know much about Gao Jiang as a person, it seemed he lacked capability.

The fact that he, the second in command, was suppressed by Qin Liang, would be a laughingstock if news spread.

“Tomorrow, I will leave with the Tianlong Squad; the rest is up to you,” Xiang Yu told Shi Jian.

He trusted Shi Jian; meticulous and prudent in his thinking, Shi Jian was a significant aid to Xiang Yu.

Shi Jian quickly nodded, signaling to Xiang Yu that everything was under control.

“Brother Yu, I think that coal mine is quite good,” Tie Zhuzi said softly.

He had just heard that the coal mine was very profitable, which got his attention.

Although they didn’t need more money right now, the inherent love for money just couldn’t be quenched.

“It will be ours sooner or later.

After we take care of that freakish Evil God gang, we’ll come back and sort them out,” Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Hearing that they would eventually return, Tie Zhuzi cheered up.

Then, looking at Shi Jian, he said, “Keep an eye on them here.

Don’t let them dig up all the coal.”

After Tie Zhuzi’s words, everyone burst into laughter.

Sitting at a distance, Lan Tingting turned her head towards the laughter, smiling as she watched them.

After discussing some future development, Shi Jian shooed everyone away.

He then smiled sheepishly at Xiang Yu before leaving.

Seeing everyone had gone, Lan Tingting ran over and hugged Xiang Yu’s arm, looking at him with expectation she said, “You’re not leaving again this time, are you?”

Xiang Yu pinched her cheek and chuckled, “Of course, I hate to leave, but…”

“No buts.

You can’t leave.

I don’t care about the rest, I just won’t let you go,” Lan Tingting insisted, clinging tighter to Xiang Yu’s arm as if he would run away the moment she let go.

Xiang Yu felt a surge of affection and stroked Lan Tingting’s hair.

As a man with a past, any emotional attachment was a luxury for him.

Lan Tingting knew Xiang Yu would leave, holding him back was merely a fervent wish in her heart.

“All this coming and going, fighting and killing, when will it ever end?” Lan Tingting snuggled close within Xiang Yu’s arms, quietly listening to his heartbeat.

Xiang Yu could only sigh in his heart.

He didn’t know when this life would end, but he had gradually gotten used to it.

It seemed he was born to mix in the underworld.

At this moment, he still had many issues to resolve.

Zhong Min had not been found, and deep in his heart, her shadow lingered.

She must have been captured and exploited by bad people; he was determined to find and save her.

Additionally, Xiao Xuan’s enemy had yet to be found.

He had not told Xiao Xuan, fearing that he would fall back into that indifferent state.

Xiao Xuan’s personality had become much more cheerful, which is what everyone wanted to see.

The two of them sat there quietly until Lan Tingting eventually fell asleep.

She slept soundly, breathing evenly, with a smile on her face, like a child.

Xiang Yu didn’t want to disturb her, so he gently laid her on the sofa and covered her with a thin blanket.

Finally, he gently kissed her forehead before walking out.

It was already past midnight, and Xiao Xuan, Tie Zhuzi, and seventy other brothers were waiting for him.

“Be careful,” Shi Jian didn’t leave either and stood there, speaking to Xiang Yu.

“Don’t make it sound like a life-and-death farewell; I’ll be back,” Xiang Yu punched Shi Jian playfully.

“Damn, could you be a little gentler?” Shi Jian said with an exaggerated grasp at his chest.

The two joked for a while, and eventually, Shi Jian arranged for someone to take Xiang Yu and his group to the airport.

Xiang Yu had driven himself when he came, bringing his gear.

Now, he left all these items with Shi Jian and the others, who could deal with arms dealers there, making it easier to acquire firearms.

Xiang Yu and his companions caught the last flight and arrived in SH city at five in the morning.

They quietly returned to their hotel rooms and began to sleep soundly.

Around nine in the morning, Wang Ze and Wu Jing were sitting in Xiang Yu’s office, discussing matters.

“When will Big Brother return?

Now Evil God’s bastards are pressing us step by step, and if we continue to be passive, we’ll soon be overwhelmed,” Wang Ze said with a frown, clearly under a lot of pressure.

“Did you call Brother Yu?” Wu Jing also frowned.

His task was to train the brothers, and now that they were all with Xiang Yu, he had been involved with Wang Ze in many matters during this idle time.

Through his involvement, he realized the gravity of the situation.

Evil God kept sending people to try to enter the city, and they had to monitor all the city’s movements closely around the clock.

Moreover, He Yuntian frequently called to report various matters.

Nicknamed Hedgehog, He Yuntian, the second squad leader of the Dragon Team, had already betrayed Xiang Yu.

But Xiang Yu had not exposed him, instead letting him go undercover in another city.

Xiang Yu had divided the cities into three codes.

The city where Shi Jian and his group were located was code one, far from here.

The current location was code two city, adjacent to Evil God’s territory.

The city where Evil God resided was code three city.

Wang Ze shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t want to disturb Big Brother’s plans, so I haven’t contacted him.

I wonder how they are doing now?”

“Contact him now and see.” Wu Jing was actually quite concerned about Xiang Yu’s safety.

He knew that although the situation here was complex, code one city was not simple either.

Wang Ze nodded and reached for the phone.

Just then, from inside the room, the ringtone of ‘Little Apple’ suddenly sounded, leaving both men stunned…
