"Some things are more important than my life. I must go this time." Xiang Yu looked seriously at Long Wu and said.

"To me, you’re the most important. All I want is you," Long Wu said.

Tears fell uncontrollably, and she didn’t suppress her emotions. At this moment, everything burst out.

"Long Wu..."

Just as Xiang Yu was about to say something, Long Wu directly hugged him.

Tie Zhuzi sighed, then stood up and went downstairs. He was also very upset, but since Xiang Yu had already decided, he could only comply.

"Please don’t go, okay? I don’t want you to go," Long Wu said, holding Xiang Yu’s neck.

Xiang Yu shook his head without speaking. If he backed out from this, other organizations would surely suspect, and time was tight; Xiang Yu worried they might recklessly create chaos.

Such a scenario would deal a heavy blow to the nation, which Xiang Yu did not wish to see.

Long Wu kept holding Xiang Yu, not letting go, worried that once she let go, Xiang Yu would leave her.

No one knew how long had passed, but Xiang Yu heard Long Wu’s steady breathing and her body motionless; he knew Long Wu must have fallen asleep.

He carefully laid Long Wu on the bed, then went outside alone.

With a month left until China’s military parade, it was time for Xiang Yu to start preparing.

Xiang Yu sent Tie Zhuzi a brief text message: "I’m leaving, take care of Long Wu."

"Brother Yu, you must come back alive. Before you return, I will protect Sister Long Wu." Tie Zhuzi said.

Xiang Yu didn’t pack much luggage, drove straight to the airport.

On the way, he called Wang Qian to explain the situation.

Wang Qian said apologetically, "Xiang Yu, Wolf King is just like that, don’t take it to heart."

"It’s okay, I’m not familiar with him anyway, just as long as you don’t point a gun at me." Xiang Yu said with a smile.

"Don’t worry, I never will." Wang Qian said.

"That’s good, I’m heading back to China first; see you there when the time comes." After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wang Qian held the phone and was momentarily dazed. She wanted to ask whether the intelligence Xiang Yu provided was reliable, but she ultimately didn’t voice it.

After hanging up, she went to the secret office and connected to a video conference with other organizations.

Wang Qian first expressed her stance: "No matter what the cost, this matter must be completed."

Others also stated their positions.

"All plans have been discussed, time is tight. I hope everyone can prepare early, I’m returning to China tomorrow to wait for you there." Wang Qian said.

"Where’s Xiang Yu? Why didn’t he come today?" someone asked puzzledly.

After all, Xiang Yu is a crucial link, responsible for all intelligence collection. If Xiang Yu doesn’t participate, they won’t partake.

Wang Qian naturally understood their meaning. Still doubting Xiang Yu at this point made Wang Qian uncomfortable. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Xiang Yu has already gone to China; only with full preparation can we be sure to accomplish this task." After saying this, Wang Qian directly closed the video. If it weren’t necessary to collaborate with them for this matter, she wouldn’t have worked with these people.

Having closed the video conference, she started preparing for tomorrow’s departure.

"Just remember this, no one moves on Sun City or sends anyone to monitor it before I return." Wang Qian said to her subordinates.

"Boss, there’s an order from above to monitor Sun City and report any situations directly to the superiors."

"Which superiors?" Wang Qian said irritably.

"Wolf King."

Wang Qian: "..."

Wang Qian felt troubled about a man she admired versus Xiang Yu, whom she had liked for a long time, not knowing which to choose.

"You may leave," Wang Qian said wearily.

Sitting on the sofa alone, Wang Qian worriedly murmured, "Wolf King, what do you truly want?"

For Xiang Yu’s side, he stealthily followed the previous route into China. Given his special identity now, all actions need discretion.

He didn’t look for Sun Bo since the military parade was about to start, not wanting to cause trouble for Sun Bo.

In China, Xiang Yu also had his forces, but he didn’t plan to activate them; the more involved, the more dangerous.

After several detours, Xiang Yu finally reached the capital and hidden himself in a small inn.

The inn’s business wasn’t doing well, and when Xiang Yu went to rent a room, the landlady appeared quite excited.

The landlady, a thirty-something woman whose husband rarely returned due to business obligations.

When the landlady saw Xiang Yu, her eyes sparkled.

These observations were crystal clear to Xiang Yu, who knew the landlady was obviously bored.

Sure enough, in the evening, just after Xiang Yu finished bathing and prepared for sleep, the landlady knocked on his door.

Xiang Yu didn’t refuse the landlady’s offer. He’d been under pressure lately, and it’s been ages since he had indulgence, so he vented himself thoroughly that night.

Fortunately, there weren’t many guests in the inn, otherwise, the whole inn could hear the landlady’s cries.

On the following afternoon, Xiang Yu received Wang Qian’s notification; she had already entered China.

Wang Qian’s group included fifteen people, carrying lots of things, so much less free compared to Xiang Yu.

"I’m in the capital waiting for you, call me when you arrive," Xiang Yu replied by text.

Wang Qian didn’t respond to Xiang Yu’s message. They were now in China, each move could expose their target, so contacting less when possible was wise.

Although Wang Qian and her team had entered China, it would still take days to reach the capital.

Xiang Yu could take this opportunity to further entertain the landlady.

After being entertained the previous night, the landlady slept till afternoon before having some energy.

Later, she cooked many delicious dishes for Xiang Yu; she was overwhelmed with joy, fainting countless times the previous night.

Compared to Xiang Yu, her husband was truly a weakling.

Xiang Yu leisurely stayed in the inn, with food, fun, and drinks all provided by the landlady.

The landlady eventually hung a wooden sign outside the inn: On Break.

On the third day, Wang Qian finally reached the capital and sent a text to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu worried Wang Qian might see his current state, so hurriedly left the inn.

Due to Xiang Yu’s unannounced departure, the landlady was dejected all afternoon, wishing she could’ve had another epic bout with Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu rented a courtyard house in the outskirts of the capital; it’s serene with a good environment, then sent the location to Wang Qian.

Around ten o’clock at night, Wang Qian came to Xiang Yu’s small courtyard; she acted cautiously, moving under the cover of night...
