<h4>Chapter 1408: Chapter 1409: Building the Strongest Defense Force</h4>


    Xiang Yu took the key without any pretense and directly put it away.


    "I’ll return it intact after use," Xiang Yu said.


    Cheng Wn just nodded and smiled without saying much. She herself didn’t know why she felt an immense trust in Xiang Yu.


    Sometimes when she sat here, Xiang Yu’s figure appeared in her mind. She remembered every movement he made.


    Xiang Yu and his team equipped themselves with earpieces and then went to retrieve their weapons.


    Tie Zhuzi’s favorite was the machine gun. He originally intended to use this weapon, but now the setting is different; this is the city, not the battlefield of rebel forces.


    In the end, he only took the doortch and held it in his hand. He’s not good at using guns; even if he does, he misses.


    Xiao Xuan remained with the sniper rifle. Although he’d only used it once, he already had a deep understanding of the gun.


    Li Bingbing and Wang Dayong both took handguns as well, which are not only easy to carry but also more convenient to hide.


    After taking the weapons, Xiang Yu drove and took them to get familiar with the roads.


    He now knew the location where Xu Wanguan’s group would hold their meeting. If he were an assassin, he would definitely act when they were on the way to the location.


    This was not only convenient but also easy to escape.


    Passing a junction, Xiang Yu suddenly said, "Bingbing, wait over there and report immediately if there’s any situation."


    Li Bingbing shivered all over before saying, "You better call my full name."


    She looked in the direction Xiang Yu pointed and saw it was a high vantage point where the surroundings could be detected first.


    "Understood," Li Bingbing replied crisply.


    Xiang Yu continued driving, cing Wang Dayong at a dangerous-looking spot.


    Wang Dayong also agreed quickly, now following Xiang Yu with a feeling of immense excitement.


    As they continued to approach the destination, Xiang Yu pointed towards a distant signal tower and nced at Xiao Xuan.


    Xiao Xuan understood Xiang Yu’s intention, nodding without speaking.


    The signal tower is the tallest structure nearby. If someone stands on it, they can easily observe the surrounding situation.


    Only the signal tower is somewhat dizzyingly high.


    "You don’t mean for Xiao Xuan to climb up there, do you?" Li Bingbing said, not believing it.


    Xiang Yu didn’t respond, just continued driving.


    "How can that be? What if he falls?" Li Bingbing said nervously.


    Never mind climbing up; even looking upwards while standing below made her dizzy.


    "It’s fine," Xiao Xuan suddenly said.


    He looked up at the tower’s peak from inside the car, knowing that it was the best sniper position.


    "Where do I guard?" Tie Zhuzi asked eagerly, holding an iron stick and looking at Xiang Yu.


    "You follow me," Xiang Yu calmly replied.


    Unless unexpected situations ur, Xiang Yu usually keeps Tie Zhuzi by his side.


    This guy has a fiery temper and listens to no one but Xiang Yu, who is worried Tie Zhuzi might cause trouble.


    "Everyone knows their position, don’t they?" Xiang Yu asked them sternly.


    Although this mission’s danger isn’t high, it is somewhat challenging. The road is long, and they don’t have enough people.


    Adding that Li Bingbing and Wang Dayong haven’t undergone professional training, Xiang Yu feared they might mess up.


    But every warrior is trained through actualbat; if they don’t enter the battlefield, they’ll never know what to pay attention to in battle.


    "At nine o’clock tonight, be ready to move. There’s still some time until nine; organize yourselves," Xiang Yu told the group.


    Li Bingbing was a bit confused. The mission was imminent, and Ivan’s group was already getting tense, while Xiang Yu appeared more rxed.


    "Should we go over now to protect him?" Li Bingbing asked.


    Xiang Yu shook his head, "There’s no need; Ivan’s group is there."


    Li Bingbing had no more to say and went back with Xiang Yu’s car.


    Back at the residence, Xiang Yu wanted to find Cheng Wn and ask who she called at that time.


    Xiang Yu had a feeling that Cheng Wn and Zhong Min were very close friends, suggesting starting the investigation with Cheng Wn was the right choice.


    Around 7:30, Li Bingbing and the others started preparing while Tie Zhuzi stayed with Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi visited Xu Wanguan’s vi, which had now entered a level-one war footing.


    "Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi were spotted at position number eight," someone said.


    "Stop them, don’t let them get close," said a voice in the earpiece.


    The person at position eight saw Xiang Yu continuing forward and raised a hand to stop them, "Please undergo inspection."


    "Inspection my ass, get out of my way," Tie Zhuzi snapped.


    The guy reached into his pocket, seemingly about to grab something.


    Seeing this, Tie Zhuzi directly pointed the iron stick at the guy’s neck.


    "If you keep babbling here, I’ll twist your head off," Tie Zhuzi red.


    The person knew Xiang Yu’s team was safe; Wang Li just wanted to hassle them a bit.


    Seeing Tie Zhuzi so aggressive, he quickly stepped back, allowing Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi through.


    "Position eight has fallen, requesting support," the person quickly said.


    Just then, a rough voice suddenly came through their earpiece.


    "Position lost my ass, Wang Li, if you dare mess around again, I’lle over and bust your head," Tie Zhuzi said with the earpiece.


    He tuned to the same channel as Wang Li’s team, able to hear their conversations.


    Wang Li, startled by Tie Zhuzi’s words, held his earpiece saying, "Let them in."


    Actually, without his words, Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi had alreadye inside.

    Ivan was sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking coffee.


    "Why didn’t you follow instructions? Where did you go just now?" Ivan said in a superior tone.


    "Went to sleep," Xiang Yu simply replied, sitting next to Xu Wanguan.


    Ivan snorted coldly without saying much more; their task was about to start, so he couldn’t bother arguing with Xiang Yu.


    The opposition put out lots of hiring fees precisely for this preparation period.


    "Where are the others?" Ivan asked Xiang Yu, a bit puzzled.


    "They’re upied," Xiang Yu calmly said.


    Though annoyed, Ivan didn’t linger on it; now wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.


    "Now let’s assign tasks," Ivan said solemnly. "We’re deploying six cars; two around us for protection, two in front, one behind, and Xu Wanguan’s in the center," Ivan exined to Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu nodded, having no significant objections to Ivan’s arrangement.


    "It’s 8:30 now; we’ll leave by nine," Ivan briefly nced around...
