<h4>Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: An Unexpected Assassination Incident</h4>


    Jin Guozhong originally nned to drive the car straight at them, then take the opportunity to grab Xiao Xuan and leave. Now seeing that they indeed have no strength left, he swaggered down.


    Jin Guozhong’s skills were impressive, and in the blink of an eye, he knocked down three people. He never thought that beating someone could be so easy.


    At this moment, he felt a bold urge to fight a great battle.


    "Bring ten more." Jin Guozhong shouted boldly.


    Everyone: "..."


    The people from Holy Mouse Hall began to focus their attacks on Jin Guozhong, and eight people had already surrounded him.


    Someone shouted, "Everyone go together."


    The eight attacked Jin Guozhong from different directions, although their stamina was severely depleted, eight people’s strength was still considerable.


    Jin Guozhong kicked one flying, but then someone kicked his butt, and his face was pped.


    Jin Guozhong was furious, grabbed two people and hurled them out, then turned around and kicked backward, knocking two more down.


    At this moment, someone kicked his waist, causing him to lose bnce and fall to the ground. Three people took the opportunity to kick him.


    Jin Guozhong couldn’t get up, so he rolled to the side. The three hurriedly followed.


    "Xiao Xuan, stop watching, hurry up and help." Jin Guozhong shouted, seeing he couldn’t hold out much longer.


    Leng Chan: "..."


    Xiao Xuan shook his head helplessly, seeing his earlier demeanor, he thought knocking these people down wouldn’t be a problem.


    Xiao Xuan had rested for a few minutes and regained his strength, then rushed forward with a sweeping kick. Following it up with two punches, he directly knocked down five people.


    Then he didn’t stop, swiftly knocking everyone down. When he downed thest one, he couldn’t hold out and sat on the ground.


    The two people from the car quickly came to help Xiao Xuan and let him sit in the car.


    "Sky Thief Rat is over there, quickly get him up here," Xiao Xuan said.


    The two helped Xiao Xuan into the car and then moved Sky Thief Rat onto it.


    Jin Guozhong dusted off his clothes and awkwardly walked up, saying, "I slipped earlier; otherwise, I would have knocked them down long ago."


    As he spoke, cars started chasing behind them, looking numerous.


    Jin Guozhong didn’t linger, hit the gas, and sped forward. He felt a bit excited, never thinking today’s mission could seed.


    Looking at Sky Thief Rat lying in the back, Jin Guozhong had a feeling it was unreal.


    When the group returned to Hongxing Vi, it was already 4 a.m.


    "Everyone’s tired, go and rest," Jin Guozhong nced at them and said.


    "Brother is waiting for us, let’s go to him first," Xiao Xuan said as he walked toward Xiang Yu’s office.


    "How do you know? At this hour, he probably hasn’t woken up yet," Jin Guozhong said from behind.


    First, he had people lock up Qing Gang and Sky Thief Rat, then went with Xiao Xuan and Leng Chan to Xiang Yu’s office.


    At this time, Xiang Yu’s office waspletely dark, looking vacant.


    "I’ll head back," Jin Guozhong said, wanting to leave, avoiding awkwardness for Xiao Xuan.


    Leng Chan hesitated, unsure whether to stay or leave.


    "Let’s go in together," Xiao Xuan said as he pushed open the door and turned on the light.


    Jin Guozhong inadvertently nced inside, seeing Xiang Yu leaning alone on the sofa.


    The sudden light bothered his eyes.


    Seeing them return, Xiang Yu stood up, looked at them, and asked, "Was everything smooth?"


    Xiao Xuan quickly nodded.


    "You’re tired, go get some rest," Xiang Yu said and started heading back to his room.


    Xiao Xuan and Jin Guozhong turned and left, while Leng Chan, seeing them leave, stepped forward and asked, "Sect Leader, how did you know I would appear there?"


    Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Just a guess."


    Leng Chan knew it couldn’t be that simple, but didn’t press on the question. Suddenly, she kneeled down.


    Xiang Yu was surprised and quickly helped her up.


    "Speak while standing, there’s no need for this," Xiang Yu said.


    "Sky Thief Rat is my father’s killer," Leng Chan’s eyes were red, her voice trembling.


    Xiang Yu helped Leng Chan to the sofa and sat opposite her. Xiang Yu said nothing, still undecided on how to handle Sky Thief Rat.


    "Sect Leader, please let me kill Sky Thief Rat personally," Leng Chan pleaded.


    Her thought was simple; Sky Thief Rat ordered an assassination attempt on Xiang Yu, under newly issued Hongmenws, such actions warrant the death penalty.


    Anyhow, Sky Thief Rat would die, so why not let her personally kill him.


    Xiang Yu shook his head, troubled, saying, "You can’t kill him."


    Sky Thief Rat was Holy Mouse Hall’s Hall Master, ording to just-issued regtions, he should be executed. But Holy Mouse Hall still had a hundred brothers outside, requiringprehensive considerations.


    Moreover, if Leng Chan killed Sky Thief Rat, it would be a personal vendetta. Leng Chan would certainly provoke retaliatory assassinations from Holy Mouse Hall, putting her in danger.


    "Go rest first, other issues we’ll discusster." It was already past 4 a.m., and soon it would be tomorrow.


    Xiang Yu didn’t stay longer, stood, and returned to his room.


    At 8 a.m., Xiang Yu got up to exercise as usual.


    Yuan Huai joined him in the workout, and when they finished and prepared to freshen up, news arrived that Sky Thief Rat had just been assassinated.


    Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu and Yuan Huai rushed quickly to the holding area.


    Arriving at the crime scene, Xiang Yu saw a cut on Sky Thief Rat’s neck, clearly severed, the method expertly executed, likely by a master.


    Upon seeing the wound, Yuan Huai’s expression changed drastically, but he quickly covered it up.


    "Who did this, did anyone see?" Yuan Huai asked nervously.


    The guards shook their heads in fear, replying, "I was knocked out."


    "How are you keeping watch," Yuan Huai angrily shouted.


    The person quickly apologized. This matter wasn’t trivial; someone was assassinated here, specifically a former Hall Master, making the guards quite frightened.


    "Bury him," Xiang Yu said as he turned towards his room.


    Yuan Huai followed over.


    "Who do you think did this?" Xiang Yu asked, looking serious.


    Yuan Huai thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Leng Chan is the most suspect."


    Although Sky Thief Rat was at fault, killing a Hall Master without Xiang Yu’s permission was extremely serious.


    If it was indeed Leng Chan’s doing, then Leng Chan must be punished.


    At this time, Jin Guozhong and his team received the news and rushed over, eyes swollen, seemingly not fully awake...
