<strong>Chapter 1645: Chapter 1646: Xiang Yu Attacked and Hospitalized</strong>
Wu Jing stood there, merely shaking his head with a smile, not intervening. Tie Zhuzi was chatting with them, which could deepen their bonds and also serve to promote Xiang Yu.
Around eight o’clock in the evening, Xiao Xuan rushed back, dressed in ck.
“How did it go? Did you figure it out?” Xiang Yu asked.
Tie Zhuzi noticed Xiao Xuan’s face was colorless and lips pale, so he quickly poured him a ss of water.
“We found the Power Mercenary Group’s headquarters in the open, but their hidden base hasn’t been identified,” Xiao Xuan said, somewhat ashamed.
Xiang Yu did not me him, after all, a mercenary group’s base can’t be easily discovered.
If it were easy, these mercenary groups would have been done for long ago, moreover.
Every mercenary organization values its hidden bases highly, otherwise, Xiang Yu wouldn’t have initially taken Tie Zhuzi and gone to find Xiao Si, which eventually implicated Ren Qing.
“Brother Yu, I have a suggestion.” Tie Zhuzi said while seated there.
“Speak.” Xiang Yu said directly.
Tie Zhuzi rarely offered his own opinions; he used to just follow behind Xiang Yu and do whatever Xiang Yu asked.
Now that Tie Zhuzi was offering suggestions, it showed he’s growing, improving.
“How about we take on a job and use it to draw them out? We could follow the trail to find their base.” Tie Zhuzi suggested.
Tie Zhuzi’s suggestion was feasible, but it could not only draw the Power Mercenary Group out but also attract others.
After all, even though Xiang Yu’s group hasn’t been in the mercenary business long, they’ve already attracted several forces.
“If we just want to follow the trail, we really don’t need to waste effort drawing them out. Now that we know their open base, we just need to attack it and capture those inside, and we’ll naturally learn about their hidden base,” Wu Jing analyzed.
“You’re right, why didn’t I think of that?” Tie Zhuzi said, scratching his head.
Xiang Yu leaned quietly on the sofa, deep in thought. If they followed Tie Zhuzi’s n, there would be many unknown dangers; they could end up empty-handed.
If Wu Jing’s n of attacking the Power Mercenary Group’s open base was followed, it would be a fierce battle.
Considering it’s the enemy’s base, the defense should naturally be strong, both in manpower and security. If Xiang Yu forcefully attacks, there would be heavy casualties, which he does not wish to see.
Everyone sat there quietly, knowing Xiang Yu was contemting, and should not be disturbed.
A few minutester, Xiang Yu opened his eyes and looked at Wu Jing, asked, “Were there any suspects of being undercover duringst month’s inspection?”
Wu Jing nodded, “There was indeed someone who seemed like a martial artist and had calluses on his hand from often holding a gun. I didn’t investigate his background, just let him go.”
Xiang Yu nodded and did not ask further. Since the person had already left, he couldn’t be used again.
Now Xiang Yu wished there was a mole from the enemy side in their group, then they could use a double agent strategy.
“What tasks do we have now?” Xiang Yu asked.
“There’s a cargo transport task, found by a wealthy businessman. These goods should not see daylight, so he hopes we can safely escort them out of the country,” Wu Jing said.
“That’s the one.” Xiang Yu said, pping the table.
After discussing the n, they all went to rest.
Two dayster, at midday, Wang Qian was in her base supervising herrades’ training when the phone rang.
“Commander, we just got news that the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps has had an incident,” one person said.
This person was stationed by Wang Qian near the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps to report their situation to her.
“Quick, what’s the situation?” Wang Qian asked anxiously.
She knew Xiang Yu was fond of trouble; whenever something happened, it’d be something big.
“Their newly recruited member defected, killed many and fled. They’re currently pursuing him,” the person said.
“One of his recruits?” Wang Qian asked. She realized recruiting so openlyes with many pitfalls.
“Yes, and he even shot theirmander,” the person replied.
“What?” Wang Qian quickly hung up the phone.
Themander of the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Corps was Xiang Yu, so she called Xiang Yu.
“What’s up?” Xiang Yu asked with a smile.
Hearing Xiang Yu’s voice, Wang Qian felt relieved and asked, “Are you hurt?”
“Just minor injuries, nothing serious,” Xiang Yu replied casually.
Wang Qian had seen Xiang Yu’s scars and knew his idea of minor injuries might not be so minor. So she asked, “Where are you?”
“Tianyu Hospital,” Xiang Yu answered.
“I’ll be right over,” Wang Qian said, hanging up.
In Xiang Yu’s hospital room, people gathered around, with bandages on his chest, bloodstains visible.
Liu Yuhang, in white, wearing a mask, finished checking him and left directly.
“Brother Yu, does it hurt?” Tie Zhuzi asked, patting Xiang Yu’s chest.
“Get away,” Xiang Yu snapped, pushing his hand aside.
Soon, someone rushed in, shouting even before entering.
“Brother Xiang Yu, I heard you got hurt, came to check on you,” Meng Hu shouted.
Walking in, seeing the bloodstains on Xiang Yu’s chest, Meng Hu frowned and asked, “Are you okay?”
Xiang Yu smiled, shook his head, “I’ll live.”
“Damn it, who did this? Tell me, I’ll find him,” Meng Hu said angrily.
“Just a new recruit, let’s not talk about it,” Xiang Yu sighed.
“A recruit?” Meng Hu asked in confusion, then shook his head, “Xiang Yu, I get you want to expand fast, but this doesn’t work. You might end up with spies among your people.”
Xiang Yu hurriedly nodded, “Yeah, I was careless, a bit rushed. You know, I’ve antagonized some big yers, I have to grow quickly, or I’ll be in trouble.”
Meng Hu could understand Xiang Yu’s plight, as many have their eyes set on him.
If Xiang Yu’s base weren’t near the city, it would have been attacked at night.
Meng Hu nced around, about to speak when Tie Zhuzi chimed in, “What are you looking at? Visiting without bringing something.”
Meng Hu gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say, as he really hadn’t thought of it.
“Don’t mind him,” Xiang Yu said, shaking his head with a smile, which seemed to tug on his wound, causing him to cough.
Just then, Wang Qian walked in from outside, carrying a fruit basket, and hearing Xiang Yu cough, hurried over…
