<strong>Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: Xiang Yu’s Bad Premonition</strong>


    The Hongqing Group was already a renowned enterprise in the country, and now, with Sun Bo’s promotion, it once again became the center of attention domestically.


    Everyone’s eyes were focused on the Hongqing Group, specting about what moves they might make next.


    Of course, outsiders only saw the development of Hongqing Group. Very few people knew that they were actually inpetition with the Qinglu Group.


    During this period, the Qinglu Group had clearly started to lose the battle. They didn’t expect the Hongqing Group to have such deep roots and to retaliate so decisively and fiercely.


    The General Manager of Qinglu Group was also trying to gather funds to follow Sun Bo’s path.


    But at this time, all eyes were on Hongqing Group, and few people paid attention to them.


    Sun Bo became the focal point of the business world. Insiders knew that he was actually gambling by investing so much money. If there were no results, Hongqing Group would decline faster.


    Fortunately, after enduring various pressures, the overall enterprise finally showed improvement.


    Currently, the Hongqing Group was developing rapidly, with the potential to dominate both sides of the Yangtze River.


    “What’s going on? Weren’t they saying that the Hongqing Group was about to copse?” At this moment, Cao Ge was sitting with a grim face, looking at a chubby man.


    This chubby man was the General Manager of Qinglu Group. Sweating profusely, he said, “We underestimated them. We didn’t expect them to use such a desperate move.”


    “Don’t say those useless things. Since we’re in a passive position now, it shows we’re not as capable. Any excuses are nonsense,” said Cao Ge.


    “Yes, yes,” the chubby man replied meekly.


    The Qing Gang was different from the Hongmen. In Hongmen, economic and gang organizations were separate, not interfering in each other’s internal affairs.


    However, within the Qinglu Group, the gang and the corporation were inseparable. Many of their Hall Masters actually served as managers in the Qinglu Group.


    Therefore, when their interests were threatened, the first thing they thought of was to deal with the person in charge of Hongmen.


    Several Hall Masters had already reported to Cao Ge, hoping to get rid of the General Manager within Hongmen and take the opportunity to eradicate Hongmenpletely.


    The two had openly and covertly fought for many years, and they both knew each other’s power distribution very well. Naturally, they knew the headquarters of Hongmen, which was Xiang Yu’s location.


    However, this proposal was vetoed by Cao Ge. Since the other side was so boldly developing Hongqing Group, they must have already prepared for an attack.


    Moreover, Cao Ge considered himself a gentleman; he wouldn’t resort to underhanded means unless it was critical.


    Under Sun Bo’s leadership, the Hongqing Group advanced, crossing north of the Yangtze River and beginning to expand vigorously.


    Now, the situation of Qinglu Group was the exact opposite of Hongqing Group, which echoed the saying: to repay him in his own coin.


    At this growth rate, Hongqing Group would eventually be the top enterprise in the country.


    “Xiang Yu, you forced me to this point; don’t me me for being ruthless,” finally, Cao Ge couldn’t bear it any longer.


    After all, the Qinglu Group was their foundation, ensuring their growth and prosperity. Without the Qinglu Group, they would return to being merely a criminal force.


    In fact, Xiang Yu didn’t understand economics. He just used the right people and allowed them the freedom to act boldly.


    It was like ancient warfare; an emperor didn’t necessarily understand fighting, but if he employed a good general, the kingdom was secure.


    When a general was outside, he didn’t have to receive orders from the sovereign, and this was the same principle.


    That day, Xiang Yu called a few people together.


    “Hongmen is now stable, and you are the main force of Hongmen. Future affairs still depend on you,” Xiang Yu said with a smile.


    The others didn’t understand what he meant, especially Jin Guozhong, who looked at Xiang Yu in confusion, saying, “Sect Leader, why do I feel like you’re leaving instructions for your affairs?”


    Poison Rose quickly red at him, signaling him not to speak nonsense.


    Recent events proved that Hongmen could only be stabilized with Xiang Yu in charge.


    Xiang Yu smiled and continued, “No matter what happens, you must not act impulsively. Always consider the bigger picture of Hongmen first.”


    After saying this, Xiang Yu turned to Sun Bo and said, “Although I don’t know economics, I need to remind you of one thing: don’t go too far; going too far will lead to problems.”


    Sun Bo quickly nodded and said, “I understand, Brother Yu.”


    He knew Xiang Yu was referring to the Qinglu Group. The Qinglu Group was currently being suppressed by him and was in bad shape.


    Even a cornered rabbit will bite. Xiang Yu’s words were a reminder to give the Qinglu Group a way out.


    “Sect Leader, has something happened?” Jin Zhengming looked at Xiang Yu with some concern.


    Xiang Yu just shook his head and said, “No, I’m just chatting with you all to exchange some feelings.”


    Everyone: “…”


    They talked a lot, and eventually, everyone left, leaving Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan still there.


    “Brother, did you sense something?” Xiao Xuan asked after seeing everyone leave.


    Xiang Yu shook his head and said, “I don’t know, I just feel like it’ll happen soon.”


    Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi saw that Xiang Yu wasn’t willing to say more, so they didn’t ask further, and they sat there chatting.


    That evening, after the three of them had dinner, Xiang Yu suddenly had a bad premonition. He then looked at Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan and said, “You two should leave now.”


    Both were somewhat surprised and didn’t know why Xiang Yu said such a thing.


    “Don’t waste time, head to the second city to find Gao Zhitao now,” Xiang Yu stood up and said seriously.


    “Brother Yu, I will stay with you here,” Tie Zhuzi stood up suddenly and said.


    “No need, leave quickly now,” Xiang Yumanded them firmly.


    Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan knew something must have happened, but since Xiang Yu asked them to leave, they had no choice.


    Their luggage had long been packed. The two of them ran upstairs, grabbed their luggage, and came back down.


    “Brother, take care. If anything happens, I will risk my life to rescue you,” Xiao Xuan said resolutely.


    Tie Zhuzi said nothing, but clearly thought the same.


    Xiang Yu understood their thoughts, and after punching each of them yfully, he waved them off.


    Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, not being sentimental types, took their luggage and headed outside.


    At this time, the Hongxing Vi seemed somewhat deste, entirely quiet. Because Xiang Yu had already arranged for everyone to be relocated to other ces.


    Some were ced in thepany, while others joined the Enforcement Hall.


    If Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan left now, the huge vi would be left with only Xiang Yu.


    The two sat in the car, looked back, and saw Xiang Yu standing alone, hands behind his back, by the window. They felt an indescribable sadness.


    “Let’s go,” Xiao Xuan said.


    Since Xiang Yu made this decision, there must be a reason, even though they didn’t quite understand it yet.


    As they drove away from the vi, a fleet of cars suddenly appeared from another road, with shing warning lights but no sirens ring…
