<h4>Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Fell for the Enemy’s Ruse</h4>


    "What are you doing?" Jin Guozhong looked at the two of them with some confusion and said, in the past, he used toe here freely, when had he ever encountered a body search ’treatment’ like this?


    "Sorry, Hall Master Jin, we need to search you." The person said very seriously and earnestly.


    At this moment, Jin Guozhong realized the severity of the issue, only then did he look at the two with a cold expression and say: "You two aren’t new here, what’s going on?"


    "Sorry." The two said, and then began to search Jin Guozhong.


    Although Jin Guozhong was a bit annoyed, he did not resist, but obediently let the other party take his dagger away.


    "Please." The person said to Jin Guozhong, then made a gesture to let him through.


    Jin Guozhong no longer had the enthusiasm he had earlier and slowly made his way up.


    When he reached the second floor, he saw that only Yuan Huai and Poison Rose were sitting in the room.


    Seeing Poison Rose surprised Jin Guozhong, he noticed that Poison Rose’s arm was wrapped in bandages, with bloodstains on them.


    "What’s going on, you’re hurt." Seeing this, Jin Guozhong quickly walked over, looking at Poison Rose with some concern.


    Poison Rose nodded but did not speak.


    While Yuan Huai looked at Jin Guozhong and said: "Did you meet with Cao Ge tonight?"


    "That’s right, he asked me to join Qing Gang." Jin Guozhong answered truthfully.


    Hearing this, both Yuan Huai and Poison Rose turned to look at Xiang Yu, with a puzzled look in their eyes.


    "How did you respond?" Yuan Huai asked with confusion.


    Now Jin Guozhong understood a bit, it seemed Yuan Huai and Poison Rose suspected he had defected, thus he was a bit angry and said: "I directly refused, I’m not that kind of person."


    "This time someone leaked our operation, resulting in the loss of two brothers." Poison Rose said there.


    "Someone leaked it?" Jin Guozhong yelled with wide eyes, very angry, he couldn’t believe this happened.


    "Did Cao Ge ask you about the operation?" Yuan Huai’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Jin Guozhong.


    Seeing Yuan Huai’s gaze, Jin Guozhong was immediately infuriated, he mmed the table and said: "What do you mean, are you suspecting me?"


    Jin Guozhong had always been loyal to the Hongmen, others might suspect him, but Yuan Huai absolutely should not.


    He and Yuan Huai knew each other from before, and their rtionship was good, others might not understand him, but Yuan Huai should.


    "I’m not suspecting you, just rifying things." Yuan Huai said expressionlessly.


    "You are suspecting." Jin Guozhong stubbornly said, gritting his teeth: "Just say it, what do you want?"


    Jin Guozhong knew since the conversation had reached this point, Yuan Huai must have made ns.


    The three of them remained silent for a long time, finally, Yuan Huai said: "For now, rest at the vi, and don’t get involved in the things inside."


    Yuan Huai’s words, though tactful, were understood by all three to mean Yuan Huai had stripped Jin Guozhong of his militarymand.


    Jin Guozhong was a bit angry, he had always been dedicated to the Hongmen, he couldn’t believe he ended up with such a result.


    "I understand." Jin Guozhong did not argue, he stood up and walked toward the outside.


    He now thought of the expression Cao Ge had at the time and finally understood. The other party wanted to meet him not truly to recruit him, but to create chaos within the Hongmen.


    He couldn’t exin it now, as the more he exined, the more misunderstandings it could create.


    Jin Guozhong left hismunication devices and walked out of Yuan Huai’s office, he wandered aimlessly inside the vi.


    At this moment, he felt much more rxed, for so long he had been wholeheartedly dedicated to the Hongmen, anxious and fearful, but the Hongmen was still declining step by step.


    At this time, he thought of Xiang Yu, if Xiang Yu were here, it definitely wouldn’t be like this now.


    Walking in the vi, he found someone secretly trailing him, which made him only shake his head and smile bitterly, then head toward his room.


    He had his own room at the headquarters, and to avoid suspicion, it was better to return to his own room.


    As he reached downstairs, Poison Rose came over.


    "I believe in you." Poison Rose stood there with a cold expression, calmly saying.


    Jin Guozhong smiled indifferently and said "Thank you," then walked up.


    Now whether she believed him or not didn’t matter, the crucial thing was that the matter had already happened.


    Seeing Jin Guozhong looking a bit despondent, Poison Rose also sighed before leaving.


    She returned to her ce, and at this moment, Leng Chan was sitting there waiting for her.


    "Hall Master, you’d better rest more." Leng Chan said with concern while looking at Poison Rose.


    Poison Rose nodded and sat there, then looked at Leng Chan with some affection and said: "You should go find Xiao Xuan, and leave here with him."


    Leng Chan blushed upon hearing this, but then quickly shook his head: "He said he wants to wait for the Sect Leader toe back."


    Poison Rose also shook her head helplessly: "If he coulde back, he would have already returned, it seems now he has met with misfortune."


    Although Poison Rose was unwilling to admit it, she still confirmed that Xiang Yu was most likely in grave danger.


    On Xiang Yu’s side, since Tie Zhuzi picked him up, they quickly left City No. 6.


    Just as they had left the small town, a team of people rushed into the small town.


    After learning that Xiang Yu and the others had already left, they quickly made a report to the higher-ups.


    "Are you sure he’s still alive?" In a mountain base, someone grit their teeth and said viciously.


    This person was well known to Xiang Yu, it was his former leader Commander Cao.


    "ording to their description, that person is indeed Xiang Yu." That person said.


    Commander Cao grit his teeth, a murderous gleam in his eyes as he said: "Xiang Yu, oh Xiang Yu, your life really is tough. Falling from a ne didn’t kill you."


    Commander Cao stood there in silence for quite some time, then said: "Withdraw, pull everyone out of the mountains."


    On Xiang Yu’s side, Tie Zhuzi drove them directly toward City No. 2. They didn’t stop along the way.


    Tie Zhuzi was very excited all the way, he felt joy from the bottom of his heart, he had already made ns to stay on the mountain for the rest of his life.


    If Xiang Yu hadn’t appeared, he would have stayed there his whole life until he died of old age.


    Wang Qian sat in the front and couldn’t stand Tie Zhuzi’s foolish look, so she said disdainfully: "Are you a fool, what does it matter to you whether he lives or dies?"


    Tie Zhuzi just smiled and said nothing.


    Wang Qian said angrily: "Are you two gay together?"


    Xiao Fei, sitting in the back, asked curiously: "What’s gay?"


    "Gay is..." Wang Qian wanted to exin but thought that Xiao Fei was still a child, so she didn’t borate: "You’ll understandter."


    Xiao Fei looked at Xiang Yu hoping for an exnation, and Xiang Yu directly said: "Gay means being in a rtionship with the same sex."


    "What’s being in a rtionship?"


    "Being in a rtionship means having an intimate rtionship with someone of the same sex," Xiang Yu patiently exined.


    "Xiang Yu, she’s just a child." Wang Qian couldn’t stand it and directly said...
