Chapter 819: Chapter 819: The Target Emerges Amidst Complications
As soon as Wan Chao gave the order, his men started moving with remarkable enthusiasm.
You could say it was the ten million enticing them. Although they held positions of power themselves, each one was strapped for cash, having been squeezed dry by Wan Chao.
At this moment, Wan Chao lounged leisurely in his chair, his feet propped up on the desk, pondering his own thoughts.
Truth be told, he didn’t completely trust Xiang Yu. But it was just about finding someone; giving the orders and leaving it at that seemed simple enough.
Right now, he would rather believe that it could be true. If Xiang Yu really was a man of Wolf Fang, this could be an opportunity.
Xiang Yu had mentioned he could provide a chance to take out an old enemy. Currently, Wan Chao was the company’s general manager. Though he had authority over many, he was still under one person.
Above him was the chairman. As long as the chairman remained, Wan Chao would always be restrained. He could never truly be the boss.
If Xiang Yu could really help him get rid of the chairman, then everything in the future would be his to dictate.
Thinking of this, Wan Chao couldn’t help but grow excited, humming a little tune as he sat there.
Xiang Yu and his three companions casually picked a hotel and then went straight to sleep. It was a deep, endless sleep, as if they were oblivious to the passage of time.
Mi Hui couldn’t understand how these three youngsters could sleep like this. They’d been out cold for hours, and now the sky was starting to darken.
When Xiang Yu and his companions woke up, it was already eight o’clock in the evening. They grabbed something to eat casually and sat down together.
"Xiang Yu, there’s something I don’t quite get," Mi Hui said curiously.
"Speak," Xiang Yu replied.
"We’re offering him fifty million for this. Isn’t that a bit extravagant? Fifty million! Do you know how much stuff that could buy?" Mi Hui said, clearly lamenting the cost.
Xiang Yu cleared his throat and replied, "Relax, your big brother here isn’t short on cash."
Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan exchanged knowing smiles without a word. Seeing their reactions, Mi Hui suddenly looked alarmed and said, "Wait a minute, Xiang Yu—you’re not planning to skip out on the payment, are you?"
"What nonsense," Xiang Yu deflected, avoiding a direct answer. Then, calling on Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, he left to wander the streets.
By midday the next day, in the kitchen of a restaurant, several chefs were busily working. Suddenly, five men burst in from outside, approaching a middle-aged man and saying, "Li Wenlong, you’ll need to come with us."
The middle-aged man froze for just a moment, then calmly took off his white coat, gave a few instructions to the head chef, and stood in front of the group with composure. "Let’s go," he said.
His demeanor was much like Mi Hui’s from before, equally tranquil. Perhaps he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He knew this day would inevitably come, and the sooner, the better—it saved him the agony of anticipation.
But just as they were leaving the restaurant, two individuals walked in, their faces cold and composed.
These two exuded frostiness, their posture ramrod straight. The precision of their movements betrayed extensive professional training.
These two made their way to the kitchen, stood there briefly, then turned and left without doing anything.
After Xiang Yu and his companions had finished lunch, they were just planning to head back to sleep when Xiang Yu’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller—Commander Cao.
The timing of Commander Cao’s call gave Xiang Yu an uneasy feeling. In the past, the commander hadn’t contacted him for two years, and now suddenly the calls were becoming frequent.
Taking his phone, Xiang Yu stepped into his room before answering.
"Commander Cao, missing me already, are you?" Xiang Yu said with a cheeky grin.
"Xiang Yu, where are you now?" Commander Cao asked, his tone undeniably serious.
"Where else would I be? Of course, I’m still in the city. You just dumped me here without a care in the world—I’ve had to fend for myself, you know," Xiang Yu quipped sarcastically.
Xiang Yu was starting to grow suspicious of Commander Cao, particularly given the timing. The call was surely about something, possibly related to Li Wenlong.
"There’s an urgent situation that needs your attention. We’ve received intelligence that a dangerous individual has infiltrated City One. You must locate and eliminate this person immediately; otherwise, they could pose a significant threat to the local population," Commander Cao said, his tone grave.
His seriousness implied that the target was highly dangerous, a level of threat that required Xiang Yu’s personal involvement.
Feeling the gravity of the moment, Xiang Yu tensed. If such an individual had entered City One, he would need to deal with the issue himself.
"Do we have any intel on this person?" Xiang Yu asked urgently.
"I’ll send you their details shortly. You have one day—by tomorrow, this person must be eliminated," Commander Cao ordered.
"One day?" Xiang Yu asked, his suspicion deepening.
"You have only one day. Do you have a problem with that?" Commander Cao demanded firmly.
After contemplating briefly, Xiang Yu responded, "Understood."
Commander Cao gave him a few more instructions before hanging up and sending over the target’s information.
Reviewing the details, Xiang Yu saw that the individual indeed had an extremely high danger level and had been involved in numerous terror incidents.
If someone this dangerous really was in City One, Xiang Yu had no choice but to eliminate them—there were too many people important to him in that city. He couldn’t let them be put at risk. However, Xiang Yu hesitated, unsure of just how trustworthy Commander Cao’s intel was.
After much internal debate, Xiang Yu decided to trust the commander, who was, after all, his superior and someone he respected.
Despite his lingering doubts about Commander Cao, those were just suspicions—not solid evidence.
Rushing out of the room, Xiang Yu called, "Get ready..."
Before he could finish, his phone rang again—it was Wan Chao calling.
"Found him?" Xiang Yu asked, his voice tinged with suspicion. In fact, Xiang Yu was secretly hoping they hadn’t, as that could potentially tie into Commander Cao’s call.
"That’s right. We found him just moments ago in the kitchen of a restaurant, cooking away," Wan Chao said, laughing smugly.
"Where is he now? I’m heading over right away," Xiang Yu replied, quickly pulling on his jacket and bolting outside.
Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, seeing this, immediately followed suit. Not wanting to be left behind, Mi Hui also ran after them.
In the car, no one spoke; the oppressive silence was palpable, weighing heavily as they noticed Xiang Yu’s grim expression.
When they arrived in front of Wan Chao’s office building, Xiang Yu opened the car door and sprinted inside. As he reached the lobby, he suddenly spotted two individuals.
These two carried a cold aura, their frames balanced and movements deliberate. They gave Xiang Yu a strange sense of familiarity—similar to two others he had encountered when dealing with Lin Zhengyuan.
"Stop!" Xiang Yu shouted, his voice sharp and commanding, fully aware of these individuals’ roles.
The two men looked surprised to see Xiang Yu but calmly stepped into the elevator just as the doors closed. Without stopping to think, Xiang Yu bolted upstairs, determined to beat them in a race against time.
Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan, worried for Xiang Yu’s safety, also scrambled up the stairs in pursuit...
