<strong>Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Commander Cao Exposed and Arrested</strong>


    “Do you have anything else to say?” Gao Mantang put down his chopsticks and stared at Commander Cao.


    Commander Cao also put down his chopsticks, then looked at Old Liu sitting to the side and said, “Chief, Xiang Yu is just a deserter. What’s wrong with me bringing him back now?”


    “Where is he now?” The elderly man spoke up at this moment.


    He looked directly at Commander Cao with an intention of seeing through him. As long as Xiang Yu was found, all problems would be resolved, because Xiang Yu understood the whole situation best.


    Commander Cao realized that he had lost hisposure, and said, “I have already sent Xiang Yu away.”


    “Where did you send him?” Gao Mantang asked some nervously.


    Old Liu and the elderly man were both curious about where Commander Cao had sent Xiang Yu.


    “Exile overseas,” Commander Cao said straightforwardly, raising his head.


    Upon hearing this, Old Liu pped the table directly and said, “Who gave you the authority to do this?”


    Since things hade to this point, there was no need to hide anything anymore.


    Commander Cao changed his demeanorpletely; his respect for leadership was gone, and he held his head high, with an attitude showing he didn’t care about the consequences.


    “I’m asking you a question!” Old Liu red at Commander Cao.


    Commander Cao was his subordinate, yet in front of the elderly man, such an incident was happening, bringing Old Liu’s authority into question.


    “I don’t know,” Commander Cao replied directly.


    His attitude now showed impatience, clearly indicating that the three had set a trap all along, waiting for him to fall into it.


    Commander Cao’s attitude left the three people surprised.


    Old Liu was even more incredulous, with his mouth agape; he had never seen his subordinate speak to him in this manner.


    Originally, he thought the elderly man’s words seemed exaggerated, but now it appeared Commander Cao indeed had issues.


    “Guards, take him down!” Old Liu suddenly shouted.


    Commander Cao immediately panicked upon hearing this, suddenly stood, and yelled, “You can’t arrest me, you don’t have the right.”


    After all, Commander Cao was a senior officer; although he was Old Liu’s subordinate, Old Liu did not have the authority to arrest him.


    Old Liu, angry, pped the table again and said, “It’s not up to you to say whether I have the authority or not.”


    At this time, two soldiers entered, looking in the direction Old Liu indicated, then moved forward to grab Commander Cao.


    It was evident that these two were not prepared beforehand; it was Old Liu’s impromptu decision.


    “Let go of me, you don’t have the right,” Commander Cao struggled to say.


    He was a bit anxious; if he was captured, subsequent events would be hard to control.


    Although he anticipated negative oues, he did not expect things to turn this bad.


    “Take him away.” Old Liu gestured with his hand.


    Only then did the two soldiers make a gesture of invitation. After all, Commander Cao was a senior officer; he shouldn’t be treated like a criminal.


    Moreover, the specifics of the situation were not yet confirmed.


    Seeing there was no way out, Commander Cao clenched his teeth and followed the two soldiers.


    “It seems you were right; he indeed has some issues.” Old Liu said to the elderly man.


    “I feel he lied earlier; Xiang Yu hasn’t been sent away,” Gao Mantang remarked.


    “Whether he has been sent away can be verified,” Old Liu finished speaking and then dialed a phone call.


    Just at nine-thirty in the evening, a team suddenly arrived at Commander Cao’s workce.


    They copied everything Commander Cao had gone through, including files and emails.


    Those who had close contact with Commander Cao were also detained.


    Meanwhile, another team went directly to the top-security prison where only one person was held, so they easily found him.


    “Are you Xiang Yu?” one person outside called.


    At this moment, Xiang Yu was sleeping soundly, not paying any attention to the people outside.


    Hearing no response from inside, the people outside began pounding on the iron door, but there was still no sound from inside.


    They curiously peeked inside to find Xiang Yu sleeping deeply.


    They knocked on the door a few more times, but still, there was no reaction, so they directly opened the door and went in.


    One person stepped forward to wake Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu suddenly kicked him away.


    The others were startled, thinking Xiang Yu was attempting a breakout, rushed in to surround him, then tightly restrained Xiang Yu.


    Even with great strength, Xiang Yu was subdued and unable to move.


    It was only at this moment that Xiang Yu groggily woke up and saw himself being manhandled by so many people, shouting, “What the hell are you up to? I’m not selling flowers!”


    Others were speechless; one person held a gun and signaled Xiang Yu to behave.


    Xiang Yu wisely stood upright, posing as a model citizen.


    Seeing Xiang Yu calm down, they released him, but still held their guns ready.


    “What time is it now, have you eaten yet?” Xiang Yu asked with a smile.


    But they all ignored Xiang Yu, merely standing there.


    “A bunch of blockheads.” Xiang Yu remarked disdainfully.


    At this time, one person took outmunication equipment and dialed out.


    “We found Xiang Yu and have him under control,” the person said.


    “Take him over quickly,” the person on the other side instructed.


    Meanwhile, Lao Liu and the other two sat there quietly waiting for news. The most anxious was none other than Gao Mantang.


    To Gao Mantang, Xiang Yu was not only a friend but a benefactor to his family.


    Old Liu and the elderly man were much calmer; they didn’t have any personal feelings for Xiang Yu, only wanted to understand the truth, looking out for the safety of their country.


    When it was heard that Xiang Yu was found, Old Liu ordered him to be brought over, eager to know all the details.


    Gao Mantang was so pleased that he rubbed his hands together; originally having great affection for Xiang Yu, now hearing he was in the Special Forces, his admiration grew.


    Shortly afterward, news came that Xiang Yu had been brought over.


    Old Liu quickly asked for him to be brought in.


    When Xiang Yu stood in front of the crowd, he was wearing a hood.


    “Take it off,” Old Liumanded.


    One person removed Xiang Yu’s hood and walked away.


    “Smells good.” Xiang Yu remarked after his hood was removed, catching the scent.


    The light was bright, taking Xiang Yu a while to adjust, but he was captivated by the aroma.


    “Is this myst supper before departure?” Xiang Yu slowly opened his eyes and saw a table full of dishes.


    Without looking at the people around, Xiang Yu sat down directly and began eating without hesitation.


    Therge tableful of dishes was consumed quickly by Xiang Yu, leaving very little.


    During this time, neither Old Liu nor the elderly man spoke, only watching Xiang Yu with smiling faces, while Gao Mantang stood there sweating nervously…
