Chapter 1829: Chapter 1830: Xiang Yu Doesn’t Understand Economics

Xiang Yu glanced at Xia Cheng sitting on the side, a coldness in his eyes that couldn’t be described. He couldn’t understand why Commander Cao valued such a person, perhaps it was for easier management.

Xia Cheng also noticed Xiang Yu’s gaze and, puzzled, asked, "Why are you looking at me? Look at your brother here, he already got drunk as soon as he arrived. What kind of behavior is this?"

"You don’t need to worry about it, just mind your own business," Xiang Yu responded grumpily.

After speaking, he headed out of the tent. Sun Bo was still in the hands of others, and he had to find a way to rescue him.

Outside, Xiang Yu found a spot with no one around and made a phone call.

He dialed the number of the people who had kidnapped Sun Bo, which Long Wu had sent to his phone earlier.

"Who are you?" the other side asked arrogantly.

"You’ve captured someone named Sun Bo; I’m his friend," Xiang Yu said directly.

"Oh, you want to ransom him? Five million," the person responded decisively.

"No problem, as long as you don’t harm him. I’ll get the money to you soon," Xiang Yu replied straightforwardly.

As long as he could rescue Sun Bo, he’d be willing to use all his assets.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say? Sun Bo? Sun Bo requires fifty million," the person said arrogantly.

It was clear they had captured many people and couldn’t immediately recall who Sun Bo was.

"Didn’t you just say it was five million? How did it suddenly change?" Xiang Yu frowned and asked.

He wasn’t worried about the money; his bank card had five million, but not fifty million.

"You think we’re fools? We’ve already investigated. This guy is known as a billionaire. He has money," the person said cheerfully.

"That’s too much money; you’ll have to give me time to gather it," Xiang Yu replied.

"I’ll give you two weeks. If you can’t get the money to me within two weeks, prepare to collect his corpse," the person said, intending to hang up the phone.

"Wait, at least tell me who you are," Xiang Yu pressed.

"It doesn’t matter if I tell you. We are the infamous Blood Alliance. Remember our name and hurry up with the money," the person said, then promptly hung up.

"Blood Alliance?" Xiang Yu pondered for a long time, trying to recall if there was such an international organization.

He shook his head helplessly; since Sun Bo was captured, he had to follow their rules.

But anger brewed in Xiang Yu’s heart; he wouldn’t let it go. One day, he’d make the Blood Alliance pay.

He dialed again, this time calling Long Wu; he needed money.

"Xiang Yu, where are you now? What’s going on?" Long Wu asked with some anxiety when he saw Xiang Yu’s call. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Don’t worry, everything is under control. I need money now," Xiang Yu said decisively.

"I’ve been preparing the money these past few days. How much do you need?" Long Wu replied.

She knew since Sun Bo was kidnapped, the kidnappers were definitely after money. She had pooled together all her liquid assets in the last few days.

"I need fifty million," Xiang Yu said.

"Fifty million?" Long Wu asked in disbelief.

"Is there a problem?" Xiang Yu frowned.

In truth, Xiang Yu had little concept of money. He knew fifty million was a lot, but if he couldn’t gather it now, Sun Bo might be in danger.

So, in Xiang Yu’s view, no matter what, the money had to be secured, even if it meant selling the company.

"No, it’s just surprising that they want so little. I’ve prepared a billion," Long Wu replied.

Only then did Xiang Yu feel at ease and said lightly, "Perhaps they don’t truly understand us."

Once the money was secured, surely they wouldn’t make things difficult for Sun Bo.

"They don’t understand us. Do you?" Long Wu asked with some resentment.

It was evident from Xiang Yu’s tone that he was unaware of how much money he had.

"Haha, of course I know. Have you eaten?" Xiang Yu quickly changed the subject.

"Don’t change the topic, Xiang Yu. You really don’t understand. You don’t know what developments our company has made over the years? How large we’ve grown?" Long Wu said grumpily.

When Long Wu initially took over the company, it was mainly for Xiang Yu. Now, she and Sun Bo had expanded the company, hoping to earn Xiang Yu’s approval, hoping he’d be happy seeing its growth.

But it disappointed her that Xiang Yu didn’t care about the company’s affairs, overlooked her efforts.

"I’ve always been keeping an eye on it," Xiang Yu said, smiling awkwardly.

He indeed neglected this area. He only knew how to spend money, but not how much he actually had.

"Alright, enough talk. I’ll transfer the money to your card soon," Long Wu said with a bit of discomfort, then hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, Xiang Yu shook his head helplessly. It seemed he needed to pay more attention to finances in the future.

Just as he turned to return to his tent, he noticed someone standing not far away.

He hadn’t paid attention due to the phone call, but now seeing this person, Xiang Yu was startled.

The person was Sirvi, the leader of their tenth group.

"You’re quite wealthy," Sirvi walked over and said with a brief smile.

"My brother needs some money for business. As you know, group leader, we undertake tasks with our lives on the line. Someday our heads might roll, so money doesn’t mean much. I just helped him out," Xiang Yu said with a foolish smile.

"Relax, I don’t mean anything by it," Sirvi said, patting Xiang Yu’s shoulder, then walked away.

Watching him, Xiang Yu’s gaze turned cold.

It was apparent Sirvi wasn’t a broad-minded person. Xiang Yu had to be cautious in the future.

Xiang Yu returned to his tent where Tie Zhuzi was still snoring loudly, while Xiao Xuan leaned against the door.

Upon seeing Xiang Yu enter, Xiao Xuan quickly approached and whispered, "Bro, that person kept watching us from afar earlier. Seems like he had ill intentions."

Xiang Yu nodded, "We’ll adapt as the situation demands. We accompanied Xia Cheng here, sent by Commander Cao. They shouldn’t trouble us."

Xiao Xuan nodded, then sat on his bed to rest.

The noon passed quickly, and around three in the afternoon, someone outside began shouting.

"Tenth group, gather outside, hurry up."

Xiang Yu hadn’t taken a nap. Hearing the shout, he quickly pulled Tie Zhuzi up and rushed outside.

Tie Zhuzi, half-asleep, followed Xiang Yu, unaware of the situation.

Seeing them, Sirvi frowned, then shouted, "Who drank alcohol at noon? Stand out!"

Those who had drunk exchanged glances and stood out...
