<h4>Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: The Feeling of Powerlessness</h4>


    "What’s going on?" Tie Zhuzi and Xiaoxuan also noticed something was wrong, so they quickly stopped the car.


    It was only then they realized that many people had already surrounded Hongxing Vi. These people were dressed in camouge, wearing steel helmets, and holding assault rifles, clearly members of the nation’s elite forces.


    And right in front of the vi, police cars were shing their lights, which was the police force of the city.


    It was evident that this was a joint operation between the police and the military.


    Seeing this, Tie Zhuzi and hispanion quickly drove the car far away and hid it. They got out of the car and circled to the back of the vi, climbed up the mountain to observe the situation.


    When they stood above and looked down, they realized that the entire vi was alreadypletely surrounded.


    They were systematically and slowly checking each room, but most of the rooms in the vi were already empty, so there wasn’t any noise during the inspection.


    Tie Zhuzi and hispanion watched carefully from the high ground, and he quickly took out his phone with trembling hands to call Xiang Yu.


    "Brother Yu, you need to leave quickly, they’re all here." Tie Zhuzi said urgently.


    "I know, you two head back to City No. 2 right away, don’t worry about me." Xiang Yu said calmly.


    It was clear that Xiang Yu had already anticipated this oue.


    Xiaoxuan, who was standing nearby, also heard Xiang Yu’s words, and quickly grabbed the phone.


    "Brother, let’s leave now. Gao Zhitao and the others are in City No. 2, there won’t be any problems." Xiaoxuan said nervously.


    "I can’t put them in danger, don’t worry about me, just go. Remember, don’t try to rescue me, we’ll leave it to fate." Xiang Yu said.


    After speaking, Xiang Yu hung up the phone directly.


    "Brother, brother." Xiaoxuan called out twice, seeing the call was already disconnected, biting his lip with a desire to act.


    He couldn’t just watch Xiang Yu being taken away like that.


    "I’ll fight them," Tie Zhuzi said, grabbing a thick stick from the side, ready to rush down.


    All his life, he had never feared anyone. Even if it meant facing the army, he would rather die fighting.


    This impulsive act by Tie Zhuzi made Xiaoxuan sober up immediately, and he quickly held Tie Zhuzi back, saying: "Brother Yu doesn’t want us to go, let’s calm down a bit."


    Tie Zhuzi bit his lip, finally threw the stick away, and sat down heavily on the ground.


    They knew Xiang Yu must have anticipated this oue long ago, asking them to leave so as not to get them involved.


    "Let’s go, Tie Zhu." Xiaoxuan realized this and pulled Tie Zhuzi to leave.


    "I’m not leaving." Tie Zhuzi said somewhat dejectedly.


    "We need to quickly find Gao Zhitao, he’s the only one who can save Brother Yu." Xiaoxuan said anxiously.


    They understood clearly, the people capturing Xiang Yu were within the system, and they hadn’t interacted much with them before, while Gao Zhitao was also within the system and might be able to help.


    Only then did Tie Zhuzi remember what Xiang Yu had said, reluctantly stood up, looked at the army below, and turned to leave.


    On the way, Xiaoxuan took out his phone and called Sun Bo.


    Sun Bo was a business tycoon, and he might have interacted with these people, he might be able to help.


    "Xiaoxuan, what’s up?" At this time, Sun Bo was socializing in a hotel, and after receiving Xiaoxuan’s call, he stepped out.


    "Can you talk?" Xiaoxuan said seriously.


    Hearing the tone in Xiaoxuan’s voice, Sun Bo sensed something was off, and moved to a spot where there was nobody else, saying: "Go ahead."


    "Brother Yu has been arrested, this matter is known only to you, don’t broadcast it." Xiaoxuan said.


    "What?" Sun Bo said in surprise.


    Having followed Xiang Yu for so long, he had never heard of Xiang Yu being arrested.


    Xiaoxuan exined the whole situation, and hearing it made Sun Bo’s back go cold—he had never heard of police and military acting together.


    "I get it, be careful." Sun Bo said and quickly hung up the phone.


    After hanging up, Sun Bo returned to the private room swiftly, informed the group, and left.


    Engaged inmercial activities, Sun Bo also had some influence within the system. Given it was nearly 9:30 at night, notable figures would typically be asleep by then.


    He took out his phone and first called one of the city leaders.


    The ringtone went off a few times, and azy voice answered.


    "Who is it?"


    "Mayor Wang, hello, this is Sun Bo." Sun Bo said, a bit anxiously.


    There was a brief pause, then a chuckle: "So it’s Mr. Sun, what brings you to call sote at night?"


    "I have a friend currently wanted by the police, could you see if there’s any room for leniency?" The situation was urgent and Sun Bo didn’t have time for pleasantries.


    The other personughed and said, "That’s no big deal, just wait for my news."


    Sun Bo said some words of gratitude before hanging up the phone, then proceeded to call another person.


    With hiswork, pulling someone out wasn’t an issue. But he also knew that since Xiang Yu was wanted, it wasn’t a trivial matter, and felt uncertain.


    Sun Bo initially nned to visit a few leaders’ homes directly, but within a few minutes, they all called him back.


    "Mr. Sun, it’s best if you don’t get involved in this, and under no circumstances should you admit to knowing this person, or else you might be implicated."


    "Mayor Wang, you see..."


    "I’m really sorry, I just can’t help you with this, goodbye."


    At that moment, Su Bo felt a sense of powerlessness, and soon after, several others called him back, expressing their inability to help.


    Sun Bo felt trapped, like there was no path to heaven or door to the earth, and called Xiaoxuan back: "What exactly did Brother Yu do?"


    "I don’t know either." Xiaoxuan said directly.


    In truth, he really didn’t know what was going on, only that it definitely had to do with City No. 6.


    Xiang Yu never recounted that part of the story, and they never inquired further.


    Since Sun Bo couldn’t help, they could only seek out Gao Zhitao.


    Meanwhile, Xiang Yu was calmly sipping kung fu tea in his room, showing no sign of panic despite the impending threat.


    He was aware of having been surrounded, but had not chosen to run away, as he was already somewhat fatigued.


    Knowing there was nowhere left for him in the country, he didn’t want to live as a fugitive constantly on the run.


    Rather than that, he’d prefer to face it openly. Standing under the sun, letting nature take its course.


    In his heart, he was a soldier, regardless of how the country treated him, he felt no regret or resentment. He had long dedicated his life to the mothend, my mothend.


    By now, he could hear the rhythmic footsteps outside, and could almost imagine the cautious stance of the soldiers outside.


    Their coordination was wless, fully disying the qualities of soldiers, making Xiang Yu proud of them.


    "Finally here." Xiang Yu said with a serene smile as he sat there.


    And just at that moment, the door to Xiang Yu’s room was kicked open with a ’bang’...
