"There’s one condition: while I’m in China, you must ensure the security of Sun City," Xiang Yu said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Of course, rest assured about that. I’m going to have my people withdraw from the surrounding ten cities right now and ensure the safe and stable development of Sun City. You won’t have any worries," Wang Qian said.

Wang Qian’s reaction was within Xiang Yu’s expectations. After all, they took this matter extremely seriously. The success or failure of the mission directly affected Wolf Fang’s position in the world.

"That’s good; now I can rest easy. I’ll be heading out tomorrow," Xiang Yu said confidently.

Wang Qian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "You really are a person of swift action. When you come here tomorrow, there will be someone to escort you back to China."

"Someone will escort me?" Xiang Yu asked in confusion.

"Of course, you can’t return openly; you must stealthily slip back into China through other channels," Wang Qian said seriously. "We are all on China’s blacklist and they won’t allow us to cross the border."

"No way, you might be on their blacklist, but I’m just a nobody, unknown and never have done anything threatening to China. It should be fine," Xiang Yu said nonchalantly.

"It’s better to be cautious. Come here tomorrow, and COM people will escort you across the border," Wang Qian said.

Xiang Yu thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright, since someone’s escorting me, I don’t have to worry. See you tomorrow."

After saying this, Xiang Yu stood up and walked outside. Having been away from China for so long, he really missed it.

Leaving Wolf Fang’s base, Xiang Yu sat quietly in the car, contemplating.

He didn’t know if he was on China’s blacklist. The whole time, Number One had not contacted him, and he didn’t know what had happened.

On the road, Xiang Yu sent Xiaoxuan a text message: Are you free?

Not long afterwards, Xiaoxuan called Xiang Yu.

"Brother, is something up?" Xiaoxuan asked.

"I will be away for a while. Keep an eye on things over there. If Yongzhen successfully infiltrates, then proceed according to plan," Xiang Yu said seriously.

"Where are you going, brother?" Xiaoxuan asked worriedly.

"Just a trip back to China, don’t worry, it’s fine. If anything happens, you can call me," Xiang Yu instructed.

The two discussed a few more points of attention before hanging up the phone.

Returning to Sun City, Xiang Yu called over Tie Zhuzi and arranged for him to ensure the city’s security.

Tie Zhuzi also wanted to return to China with Xiang Yu but since Sun City still needed his presence, he stayed behind.

"Protect the city," Xiang Yu instructed.

"Brother Yu, rest assured, as long as I’m here, Sun City will remain safe and sound," Tie Zhuzi said confidently.

Having arranged for Tie Zhuzi, Xiang Yu also visited Long Wu and Xi’er, instructing them to keep his departure confidential.

Xiang Yu is the spiritual pillar for everyone in Sun City; having him there makes them feel secure.

Having prepped everything, Xiang Yu finally felt at ease and then lay in bed to rest.

That night, Xiang Yu had a dream in which Number One stood seriously in front of him but said nothing.

No matter how Xiang Yu inquired, Number One kept staring coldly at him.

Eventually, Xiang Yu awoke suddenly, looked at the clock, and it was already three in the morning.

He didn’t go back to sleep but got dressed and drove to Wolf Fang’s base.

Upon reaching there, he roused Wang Qian.

Wang Qian looked at Xiang Yu groggily and said, "Are you sick, coming this early?"

"About to execute a mission, too excited to sleep," Xiang Yu casually replied.

"Yeah right, you have moments of excitement? No one would believe it," Wang Qian said irritably.

The two chatted idly until five in the morning when COM people arrived to pick up Xiang Yu.

"Take care," Wang Qian said earnestly.

Xiang Yu simply smiled faintly, saying no more, and got into the car to leave.

COM people drove Xiang Yu to the airport and then directly left the small station.

They didn’t fly directly to China but landed in a neighboring country and then boarded another plane.

After a whole day of hassle, Xiang Yu finally found himself sitting in a car arranged by them once again.

The entire process was seamless, evidently prearranged by COM.

Eventually arriving at China’s border, two people carefully led Xiang Yu through the mountains.

"Ahead is China’s border, surely there are guards there. How do we get in?" Xiang Yu asked in confusion.

"Just follow along and don’t ask questions," one of them said coldly.

"That’s not okay, what if I get caught? I only have one life and can’t take risks," Xiang Yu said.

Seeing the other party ignoring him, Xiang Yu directly stood there without moving.

"If you won’t tell me, I’ll just go back the way I came," Xiang Yu said indifferently.

The two exchanged a glance before saying, "This path is quite safe; we cross the border daily. You can rest assured."

"Do you have someone on the inside?" Xiang Yu asked curiously.

One of them nodded lightly and led Xiang Yu walking inside without saying more.

Xiang Yu had served at the border before, their defenses were tight; not even a fly could get through.

They successfully reached the border line and strolled right in, making Xiang Yu wonder.

Upon entering China, Xiang Yu was even more stunned as no one even came to question them.

"Could they have taken out all the guards?" Xiang Yu asked, bewildered, looking at the two.

The two seemed to understand Xiang Yu’s thoughts, "This path we carved out is unknown to China’s guards. Just go ahead without worry."

Xiang Yu didn’t ask further and followed them deeper into China.

After leaving the woods, two other people took over and drove Xiang Yu inland.

After a whirlwind of different transportation methods, by the time they reached northern China, it was already noon the next day.

One of them handed Xiang Yu a note saying, "If anything happens, call this number and we’ll do our best to help you."

Those people settled Xiang Yu before quickly departing, leaving him quite surprised.

Although China was already a superpower, there were still many loopholes present, with Xiang Yu sneaking in being proof.

Moreover, Xiang Yu could sense that certainly, there were many spies from other countries inside China, all having their own channels.

Standing on Chinese soil, Xiang Yu felt at ease, very comfortable, surrounded mostly by Asians, quite pleasing to the eye.

"Finally home, my motherland," Xiang Yu smiled at the sky.

While Xiang Yu was there enjoying the Chinese air, his phone rang. It was Wang Qian calling.

"Is everything smooth?" Wang Qian asked.

"Alright, just that the journey was boring. A girl accompanying me would’ve been great," Xiang Yu said casually...
