<h4>Chapter 1438: Chapter 1439: A Joyous Gathering</h4>


    Upon hearing the other person say this, Xiang Yu quickly looked up at the wall. There, a news broadcast was ying.


    More than ten people were tied to the pirs. The images were somewhat blurry, but Xiang Yu recognized Zhong Min at a nce.


    Seeing this scene, a loud ’buzz’ rang in his mind, and the whole world seemed to be silent. He just stood there, staring nkly at the images.


    He didn’t know how much time had passed by the time the images were gone. Xiang Yu turned and left.


    A waiter was calling out for Xiang Yu to give him change, but Xiang Yu was already gone.


    He hurriedly rushed back, arriving directly at Cheng Wn’s vi.


    At this time, Cheng Wn was lying on the sofa resting. She had intended to take a nap but couldn’t fall asleep.


    "What’s up?" Cheng Wn sat up quickly when she saw Xiang Yu rushing over.


    "I know where your friend is now," Xiang Yu said.


    He grabbed theputer from Cheng Wn’s table, searched the content online, and ced it in front of her.


    Cheng Wn looked at the screen with curiosity, and immediately trembled all over.


    "It’s her, it’s Zhong Min," Cheng Wn said excitedly. She then looked around at the surroundings carefully, gradually feeling a sense of despair.


    "What do I do, what should I do?" Cheng Wn seemed to copse there.


    "You’re not nning to rescue her?" Xiang Yu looked at Cheng Wn in confusion.


    Cheng Wnughed self-deprecatingly and said, "This is a nearby city, a strategically important city guarded heavily in our country. How can you say rescue her? With what?"


    Cheng Wn’s eyes were red. She, of course, wanted to rescue Zhong Min, but given that the other party publicly announced it in the news, it meant they were not afraid of any rescue attempts.


    Perhaps the enemy had already set up an inescapable around the area, just waiting for someone to try and rescue him to capture them all in one go.


    "Whether it’s possible or not is one thing; whether you dare to do it is another," Xiang Yu said as he turned and headed for the door.


    "Stop." Cheng Wn suddenly shouted, "What’s up with those people?"


    "What people?" Xiang Yu asked puzzled.


    "You don’t know?" Cheng Wn frowned.


    Xiang Yu suddenly realized, and happily replied, "They’re here?"


    After speaking, he quickly turned and ran into the distance. He knew Wu Jing had arrived, right on time.


    He jogged all the way back to his vi, only to find Wang Dayong looking dejected, cooking outside with arge pot.


    Seeing Xiang Yu return, Wang Dayong quickly walked over and said, "Brother Yu, we have guests, and there are a lot of them."


    Xiang Yu smiled broadly, nodded, and went inside.


    Inside, a group of people sat around Tie Zhuzi, listening to him tell stories about Xiang Yu.


    Li Bingbing was among them, never knowing that Tie Zhuzi could be so talkative with a whole repertoire of stories.


    Hearing him talk about Xiang Yu’s stories, she too was enjoying them.


    "Good!"


    At the climactic moments, everyone couldn’t help but p and cheer.


    Tie Zhuzi got even more enthusiastic with everyone’s approval, spitting everywhere as he talked animatedly.


    "Let me tell you a secret. During that mission, there was a beauty, an absolute stunner, as beautiful as a goddess. When she first saw Brother Yu, guess what happened?" Tie Zhuzi said mysteriously.


    "What happened?" Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Xiang Yu with eager anticipation.


    Li Bingbing also frowned, wanting to hear what Xiang Yu would say next.


    "Ahem ahem." At this moment, Xiang Yu coughed twice hurriedly.


    Tie Zhuzi saw Xiang Yu had returned and quickly stood up with a goofy smile, "Brother Yu, you’re back."


    Others also stood up, looking at Xiang Yu expectantly. They rarely got to see the boss.


    They held Xiang Yu in great admiration, partly because of Tie Zhuzi’s stories.


    "Talking bad about me, are you?" Xiang Yu gave Tie Zhuzi a sharp look. Tie Zhuzi scratched his head with a silly grin and said nothing.


    "Everyone had a long journey; have a seat and rest," Xiang Yu said, sitting down on the ground and starting to chat with everyone.


    Tie Zhuzi initially nned to sit down and listen to Xiang Yu’s stories, but someone grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out.


    "What are you doing?" Tie Zhuzi asked, puzzled, looking at Li Bingbing.


    Li Bingbing looked gloomy and said, "Go on, tell me what happened next."


    Tie Zhuzi knew what Li Bingbing was asking about and smiled, "Who would’ve thought Brother Yu wasn’t swayed by her beauty and pped her away."


    Li Bingbing felt much better after hearing that, smiling without realizing it.


    But then she felt a bit awkward and quickly returned to her normal self, looking at Tie Zhuzi and saying, "You’re quite the storyteller. Can’t you stop lying for a second?"


    She said no more and walked in, leaving Tie Zhuzi standing in the wind, bewildered.


    Before long, a rich aroma wafted in from outside, and everyone’s stomachs started rumbling.


    "Time to eat, everyone outside," Xiang Yu said as he stood up, calling everyone out loudly.


    Wang Dayong cooked for so many people, though tiring, he was in high spirits seeing everyone drooling eagerly.


    "Let me tell you, my cooking is the best in this city..."


    Before he finished, everyone turned to look at Tie Zhuzi. They couldn’t help but feel that Wang Dayong’s speech sounded a bit like Tie Zhuzi’s.


    Tie Zhuzi red, "What are you looking at me for? Wang Dayong is right; he’s the best cook nearby and my apprentice."


    Everyone nodded, looking understanding. Apparently, spending so much time with Tie Zhuzi, Wang Dayong had started to pick up his habits.


    When the food was ready, everyone couldn’t help but give Wang Dayong the thumbs up as they ate.


    Watching everyone eat so handily and praise his cooking, Wang Dayong was ted.


    As a result, all the food he cooked was devoured, and he didn’t have any for himself.


    After eating, Xiang Yu called Wu Jing aside and briefly exined the situation here.


    Wu Jing was confused, looking at Xiang Yu strangely, "Since we’ve all arrived, why do we still need to rely on the Orchid Mercenary Corps? We can operate independently entirely."


    "It’s all the same," Xiang Yu smiled.


    Wu Jing didn’t ask further. He had caught a glimpse of Cheng Wn earlier, knowing she was a beauty. Hearing Xiang Yu say it’s all the same, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander.


    Moreover, with Tie Zhuzi often bragging about Xiang Yu’s real-life rendezvous, it seemed some things Tie Zhuzi talked about weren’t made up but really happened.


    "What’s up in that head of yours?" Xiang Yu frowned, seeing Wu Jing smirking to himself.


    "Ahem, nothing, Brother Yu, carry on," Wu Jing said seriously...
