<strong>Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: Cao Ge Risks His Life to Save Xiang Yu</strong>


    “Careful,” Cao Ge said and then shielded Xiang Yu.


    Just then, a bullet was suddenly fired from a distance, hitting Cao Ge’s back directly.


    Cao Ge let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.


    At this point, Xiaoxuan and Tie Zhuzi also reacted, hastily standing in front of Xiang Yu to protect him.


    Xiaoxuan, being a former sniper, instantly spotted the opponent’s hiding spot. He saw a shadow dart away on the distant hignd, clearly having escaped.


    Seeing Cao Ge shot and copsed, the members of Qing Gang, unaware of the circumstances, rushed in with a posture of fighting Xiang Yu to the death.


    “Big brother was shot, let’s fight them!”


    “Big brother, kill them!”


    Some of them were armed and, seeing the situation, immediately drew their guns.


    Tie Zhuzi and Xiaoxuan quickly stood guard beside Xiang Yu.


    The atmosphere at the scene was very tense, with a fight about to break out.


    “Stop it, everyone stop,” Cao Ge shouted while lying there.


    The Qing Gang members, seeing Cao Ge speak, calmed down and looked towards him.


    Xiang Yu helped Cao Ge sit up; although he was shot, the wound was not serious, not fatal.


    “I’m fine, they’re not responsible,” Cao Ge said with clenched teeth.


    “Thank you,” Xiang Yu said, looking at Cao Ge.


    The bullet was clearly aimed at him earlier, and if Cao Ge hadn’t intervened, Xiang Yu might have already been dead.


    The nearby Qing Gang members, realizing the situation, looked at Cao Ge withplex expressions.


    Cao Ge insisted on getting up and then sat in a chair.


    “Let’s go to the hospital now,” Xiang Yu said, supporting Cao Ge.


    Cao Ge waved his hand to indicate he was fine and then said to Xiang Yu, “Once I go back, I’ll start the merger. I hope everyone will cooperate happily.”


    Xiang Yu and the others shook hands, showing that they were satisfied with the oue.


    Cao Ge called his brothers over to assist him as he left.


    After they departed, Xiaoxuan and Tie Zhuzi stood by the window, looking outside, worried that others might still be after Xiang Yu.


    “Brother Yu, I can’t understand why we are cooperating with them. Just give me a bit more time, and I’m confident I could take down Qinglu Group,” Sun Bo said, puzzled.


    Jin Guozhong and the others shared the same view, thinking their momentum was strong, with no reason to cooperate.


    Xiang Yu chuckled and said, “A cornered rabbit will bite; that’s their current state. If we don’t know when to stop, we’ll face endless retaliation.”


    Xiang Yu sighed and continued, “Qing Gang has existed for so long, they definitely have their foundation. A real fight would only result in mutual devastation.”


    After Xiang Yu spoke, they understood. He wasn’t worried about Qinglu Group, but Qing Gang.


    If Qinglu Group indeed faced demise, they would surely fight Hongmen desperately, which would cause problems then.


    Now, they have reached a cooperation agreement, and if the Honglu Group can be established smoothly, they would explore new fields in themercial world.


    “Brother, do you know who tried to assassinate you?” Xiaoxuan asked, frowning.


    Everyone then recalled the incident and looked at Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu smiled mysteriously without saying much, then waved for everyone to hurry and eat.


    They had only been drinking earlier, and now that Cao Ge had left, they no longer needed to be restrained.


    Tie Zhuzi started eating first, picking up his chopsticks. Xiaoxuan followed quickly.


    Jin Guozhong and the others were initially reserved but soon indulged in the meal.


    Although Xiang Yu was their Sect Leader and chairman, they felt no pressure around him, feeling quitefortable.


    Cao Ge had his brothers help him into a car, then directly headed back to his residence.


    Upon returning to the vi, he had the brothers remove the bullet from his back and summoned Xiao Liu.


    “Did you arrange the sniper?” Cao Ge asked coldly, looking at Xiao Liu.


    Xiao Liu defiantly looked at Cao Ge and said, “That’s right. If you didn’t block the bullet, Xiang Yu would be dead. If Xiang Yu dies, they would certainly fall into chaos, and that would be the time for us to counterattack.”


    After hearing this, Cao Ge pped the table before him with a loud smack.


    “Didn’t I tell you to wait until I get back for this?” Cao Ge said angrily.


    “Boss, we can’t hold out any longer. We must act quickly,” Xiao Liu replied hurriedly.


    “This matter is resolved,” Cao Ge said, leaning against the sofa, seemingly exhausted frompleting a major task.


    Xiao Liu was incredulous, staring at Cao Ge, confused, “Boss, what do you mean, everything is resolved?”


    Cao Ge sat up straight and poured himself a ss of water, saying, “From tomorrow, we will cooperate and win together with Hongqing Group.”


    “What?” Xiao Liu was shocked, looking at Cao Ge in disbelief, “Boss, you absolutely cannot agree to this; it’s certainly their plot, waiting for us to fall into their trap.”


    “Xiang Yu was sincere; we’ve even thought of thepany name—Honglu Group,” Cao Ge said contentedly.


    Xiao Liu suddenly sensed an imminent crisis. If the cooperation truly happened, he would surely be abandoned by the conglomerate.


    In terms of ability, he considered himself no match for Sun Bo. Thus, if the merger urred, he knew his position as general manager would certainly be revoked.


    “I disagree, I disagree with cooperating with them,” Xiao Liu shouted with wide eyes.


    Cao Ge ignored him, controlling both the Qing Gang and Qinglu Group, making decisions representing Qinglu Group.


    “You can’t do this; I’m Qinglu Group’s general manager, I have decision-making authority,” Xiao Liu shouted hysterically.


    Cao Ge ignored him and stood up, intending to rest in his room.


    Then, Xiao Liu frantically walked over and grabbed Cao Ge, saying, “Did you hear me? I’m the general manager; you have no right to decide whether or not to cooperate with them.”


    Seeing his crazed expression, Cao Ge pped Xiao Liu across the face.


    Xiao Liu was initially found by Cao Ge for his economic skills, yet now he was shouting in front of him, causing frustrations.


    “Get out,” Cao Ge said coldly, turning to walk toward his bedroom.


    Xiao Liu, touching his face, finally came to his senses, sensing that he was about to be abandoned.


    He enjoyed being general manager, relishing the superior feeling. Currently, his eyes glinted coldly, gritting his teeth, saying coldly, “Sun Bo, you’ve asked for death. As long as I kill you, I’ll be the conglomerate’s general manager.”


    Thinking about this, Xiao Liu couldn’t help but tremble all over; it was so exciting…
