Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Shi Jian and Several Others are Captured

Gao Leiming was also caught off guard, as he looked perplexedly at Shi Jian kneeling on the ground and said, "What are you saying, Xiang Yu isn’t your elder brother?"

At that moment, Shi Jian, with a fierce look, laughed out loud, "He’s my elder brother? That’s just a rumor from the outside world. He was merely my puppet, taking the fall whenever there was trouble."

Gao Leiming was stunned for a full thirty seconds before bursting into laughter, "You really can act, can’t you? Xiang Yu is right behind that mountain, isn’t he?"

Who was Gao Leiming, after all? The information he had gathered indicated that Xiang Yu was the mastermind behind these men. Since when had he become a puppet?

Shi Jian’s eyes brimmed with contempt; he simply stood there, not saying a word, as if to say, believe it or not."

Gao Leiming had intended to test Shi Jian and, seeing his reaction, actually believed him somewhat. He then burst into laughter again. He had thought his opponent was Xiang Yu, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be this young man.

"Since that’s the case, Shi Jian, tell your brothers to come down. I will not allow the existence of another power in this city," Gao Leiming said as he glanced behind the mountain.

At this time, the sky to the east gradually revealed a pale white belly; just another half an hour, and it would probably be broad daylight.

Shi Jian lifted his head and said with a miserable smile, "How many brothers do you think I still have? After they knew they had offended you, all of them ran away. There are only twenty-three people left on the mountain. If you let them go today, they will definitely leave this city and never come back."

Shi Jian rarely lied, but now he had to. It was at this moment he realized lying truly was a skill, and he grew even more admiring of Xiang Yu. Lying came so naturally to Xiang Yu—he didn’t even need to think before speaking.

Gao Leiming, already self-important, believed much of what Shi Jian said. How many could withstand his tyranny?

"Really?" Gao Leiming looked at Shi Jian and said.

Shi Jian responded with undisguised contempt, scoffing, "You lack confidence?"

Gao Leiming chuckled toward the sky, then turned around and walked away, saying, "A joke, that I would lack confidence. Take them all away."

Seeing that the other party believed him, Shi Jian also sighed with relief deep inside. As long as he could get through today, everything else could be discussed. Xiang Yu would return tonight, and with Xiang Yu here, any problem could be solved. He had blind confidence in Xiang Yu.

At that moment, Long Zaitian on the mountain could only grit his teeth in frustration, having no choice, as Shi Jian and the others were in the enemy’s hands. He couldn’t just rush down and fight the enemy desperately; that would endanger them all.

The brothers around him also clenched their teeth, their eyes red. They had hoped to put up a good fight today, but instead, they had been frustratingly hiding here without a chance to emerge.

Besides, their leader had been captured, and the gunshot earlier was because one of the brothers couldn’t bear it and had fired it on purpose.

Watching the enemy’s car gradually driving away, Long Zaitian punched a nearby tree, leaving a fist imprint on it. He really wanted to chase after them and fight.

But now that Shi Jian had been captured, he was the highest in command. He had to stabilize the brothers and prevent them from doing anything foolish.

By then, it was already broad daylight, and he gathered the brothers at a hidden spot on the mountain. Although Gao Leiming and his men had left, he needed to guard against the possibility that the enemy had placed spies around.

"Brother Long, why should we be afraid? Let’s just attack them directly," one said.

"Exactly, they’ve just left and surely won’t expect it. We’ll take the men over and snatch Brother Shi Jian back," another echoed.

"Exactly, it’s so frustrating."

A group of people were there grinding their teeth with anger. Many of them had followed Xiang Yu in the past. Back when Xiang Yu was here, they lived days of thrilling vendettas, nothing like it is now.

"I can’t take it anymore. If you guys aren’t going, I’ll go by myself." One of them stood up, brimming with rage, ready to descend the mountain.

"I’m going with you."

"I’m going too."

The scene became extremely chaotic in no time. They were all iron men, none of them were weaklings.

"Enough noise," Long Zaitian suddenly shouted. His face was ugly too. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go rescue Shi Jian right away, but he was more rational. If they went for the rescue now, not only might they fail to retrieve the people, but his brothers might also lose their lives.

When the noisy crowd saw Long Zaitian blow his top, they also sat down and stopped talking. Among these people, many were subordinates of Shi Jian and had not followed Long Zaitian before.

Therefore, they respected Long Zaitian but did not fully obey him.

"Enough noise, I’ll make a call to Brother Yu," Long Zaitian said and then took out his phone.

The surrounding people, hearing that he was going to call Xiang Yu, quieted down. In their hearts, Xiang Yu was the backbone; with him, all problems could be easily resolved.

At this moment, Xiang Yu was on his way back. Just then, Long Zaitian’s sudden call gave him a bad premonition.

"Has something happened?" Xiang Yu asked directly.

"I’m sorry, Brother Yu," Long Zaitian said dejectedly, and then he explained the whole situation.

When Xiang Yu heard that Shi Jian had been captured, his mind buzzed instantly. Shi Jian was the highest commander at home. If even he had been captured by the enemy, it significantly signified the severity of the problem.

"Zaitian, don’t rush things. Today, just hide in the mountains, don’t go anywhere. Tell the brothers that I’ll definitely come back tonight, and then we’ll settle old and new scores together," Xiang Yu spoke very firmly.

Long Zaitian switched his phone to speaker mode, so all the brothers could hear what Xiang Yu was saying. Xiang Yu’s prestige among the brothers was very high.

Everyone around, hearing Xiang Yu say this, also sat there with nothing more to say. Tonight, the big brother would come back, and they would unleash all their anger and hatred then.

"I understand, Brother Yu," Long Zaitian said, and then he hung up the phone. He then looked at the dispirited brothers around him and said, "Rest up for now, guys. You’ll need to be spirited tonight."

Xiang Yu sat in the car with his eyes closed, his mind in turmoil, imagining the critical situation at the moment of Shi Jian’s capture.

He had once sworn never to let his brothers face danger, to never allow a repeat of the tragedy on the battlefield. But now, he was facing that very scenario again.

Tie Zhuzi did not ask more, just sped up the driving. He had been with Xiang Yu the longest and knew how Xiang Yu was feeling. He had heard the conversation over the phone and his heart was also filled with anger. Whoever dared to upset Brother Yu like this would not be forgiven by him.

By noon, they grabbed some food on the road, then continued on their journey. Their next stop was S Province, their homeland...
