Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Horrifying Assault Case

Xiang Yu swaggered into the room with Tie Zhuzi, and upon entering, he distinctly felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from somewhere nearby.

Although he was somewhat familiar with Wang Qian and Hou Zhantian, and they had requested his help in finding someone.

But given Hou Zhantian’s esteemed position, it was normal for him to have people stationed around.

When Wang Qian saw Xiang Yu arrive, she gave him a sideways glance and sat there without speaking.

Hou Zhantian quickly stood up and shook hands with Xiang Yu.

“Captain Hou, is there something you need from me?” Xiang Yu asked directly as he sat down.noveldrama

“Why would he call you here if there wasn’t anything?” Wang Qian snapped irritably from the side.

Hou Zhantian sat there awkwardly, smiling, not understanding why Wang Qian was suddenly so upset.

Xiang Yu simply smiled indifferently, then looked at Hou Zhantian and said, “Captain Hou, feel free to speak up if you need anything.”

“It’s nothing, I just wanted to have a chat,” Hou Zhantian replied with a smile.

Time was tight for Xiang Yu now, and he wasn’t interested in idle chatting with the other person.

But Xiang Yu knew that they surely weren’t there only to chat idly, everyone was busy, and sitting here for chit-chat would be a waste of time.

However, since he was already there, Xiang Yu quietly sat and looked at Hou Zhantian.

“You seem quite enthusiastic about this city,” Hou Zhantian suddenly said.

The comment was baffling, which indicated that Hou Zhantian had been paying close attention to Xiang Yu.

“Of course, living in this city makes me one of its citizens, and it’s only right to care about one’s city,” Xiang Yu replied ambiguously, unsure of what the other man was implying.

Hou Zhantian understood Xiang Yu’s evasive response, shook his head with a smile and said, “Xiang Yu, we can be considered friends now, and friends should trust each other.”

Xiang Yu just smiled without saying much; they hadn’t met often enough to be considered friends.

“Do you have any news about what we’ve entrusted to you?” Hou Zhantian asked.

“I haven’t started preparing yet,” Xiang Yu replied frankly.

Recently, Xiang Yu had been busy with matters related to the Falcon Organization, leaving no time to search for Wolf King.

“You…” Wang Qian sat there, seeing Xiang Yu’s nonchalant attitude, too angry for words.

The Wolf Fang had a significant standing internationally, but Xiang Yu seemed indifferent to that.

Hou Zhantian gestured to Wang Qian not to speak, smiled and said, “I know you’ve been busy lately. I’ve heard something in the past few days. It’s said that the city’s Mall Tower and airport are not safe.”

Xiang Yu perked up immediately, looking at Hou Zhantian and asked, “Does Captain Hou know when it’s unsafe?”

Everyone knew what it was about with just a hint; Hou Zhantian, being part of Wolf Fang, didn’t want to get involved with the Falcon Organization.

But he was willing to provide Xiang Yu with some intelligence.

“I heard there’s something exciting happening at noon today, so I decided to check it out,” Hou Zhantian said.

Hou Zhantian didn’t say it outright, but Xiang Yu understood. There’s danger at Mall Tower and the airport at noon.

“Thank you,” Xiang Yu said and stood up to leave; it was already ten in the morning, and he needed to prepare immediately.

“Xiang Yu,” Hou Zhantian suddenly called out to him with a smile, “The train’s speed is similar to that of an airplane; this city’s development is quite rapid.”

Xiang Yu paused, then nodded with a smile and walked outside.

Tie Zhuzi following behind was puzzled; Xiang Yu had come there looking for Wang Qian, yet he’d spent so much time talking to Hou Zhantian, and seemed rather anxious.

In the car, Tie Zhuzi couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Yu, what was that guy on about? I couldn’t understand any of it.”

“He was telling us what will happen at noon today,” Xiang Yu briefly explained as his phone rang; it was Han Rumei calling.

“Li Kui is removing the police from Mall Tower; I’m not sure what he’s up to,” Han Rumei said.

“I understand. Keep a close eye on him,” Xiang Yu replied before hanging up the phone.

He picked up his phone and called Gao Zhitao.

“What’s going on with Li Kui?” Xiang Yu asked directly.

Gao Zhitao had also received news, his voice sounded urgent, “I don’t know yet, I’m heading there now.”

“Gao Zhitao, I’m telling you something very serious. At noon today, the airport, the train station, and Mall Tower are all in danger. These are all densely populated areas; their safety must be ensured,” Xiang Yu said very seriously.

“What?” Gao Zhitao could no longer remain calm; if it was only Mall Tower, then they could manage.

But if there are issues at all three places simultaneously, he felt overwhelmed.

“Quickly reassign the third regiment to the airport; it’s the most impactful location, and must be secured flawlessly,” Xiang Yu instructed.

“What about the train situation?” Gao Zhitao sounded a bit panicked.

“I’ll handle that side; you don’t need to worry. Take care of Mall Tower,” Xiang Yu arranged succinctly.

“I understand,” Gao Zhitao said, then hung up the phone.

He didn’t know where Xiang Yu got his information from, but he trusted Xiang Yu completely.

In the car, he called Zhang Dacheng.

“Quickly lead the third regiment to the airport. Reliable sources say terrorists are going to bomb the airport,” Gao Zhitao instructed, simply and urgently.

“Bomb the airport?” Zhang Dacheng exclaimed in shock.

This was the most explosive news he’d heard since joining the military; if this were wartime, it might be understandable, but during peace, bombing an airport was monumental news.

“You heard correctly. Hurry and take the third regiment over. Thoroughly inspect every person, every piece of luggage; absolutely no dangerous items should be allowed.” Gao Zhitao emphasized.

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Dacheng said and was about to hang up the phone.

“Wait,” Gao Zhitao quickly interjected, “Don’t make too much noise, so as not to alert the enemy. Go quietly at first,” Gao Zhitao instructed.

Zhang Dacheng acknowledged and hung up the phone; the news of an airport bombing left him unable to stay calm.

Deliberating, he finally decided to call Gao Mantang.

“What? Say that again,” Gao Mantang said, eyes wide with astonishment.

“Zhitao just called me to take the third regiment over, saying someone plans to bomb the airport,” Zhang Dacheng reiterated.

“You head over first, I’ll immediately support you,” Gao Mantang said and hung up. This matter was too significant to act recklessly, then called Gao Zhitao…
