Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 899: Gao Zhitao’s Awkward Situation

Xiang Yu took the map to an open area, then spread it out to look at it; at first glance, he fainted.

On the far left of the map, a spot was clearly marked. There, the map marked a small house, surrounded by grasslands, with a forest on the outskirts.

This location on the map was very obvious, which meant the other party also came according to this map.

Xiang Yu closed the map and was about to head there, but he felt something was off. Ren Baohe had mentioned before that one bomb explosion would take a person away from Xiang Yu’s side.

The opponent was definitely targeting Long Wu, so naturally, he wouldn’t let Xiang Yu know where he was, meaning the locations mentioned by the opponent were all false.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu laid the map on the ground again and began to observe it carefully. When Xiang Yu asked Ren Baohe before, he almost blurted it out without much thought.

According to psychological analysis, since Ren Baohe didn’t want Xiang Yu to rescue anyone, he would instinctively indicate the opposite direction.

Thus, they were very likely on the far east side. Xiang Yu deliberated for about five minutes, finally determining the direction, then went outside and hailed a car to set off.

At the same time, a ’mummy’ was lying in the hospital—this person was Gao Zhitao.

Though he was only tossed by the shockwave, he was still bruised all over. Many injuries actually didn’t need bandaging, but upon Gao Mantang’s advice, they applied medicine and bandaged everything up.

This made it look to outsiders as if he was seriously injured, when in fact they were just superficial wounds.

Gao Zhitao hadn’t been in the hospital long before he woke up. The first person he saw upon waking was Gao Mantang.

"Grandfather, how is Xiang Yu?" Gao Zhitao quickly asked. He wanted to sit up, only to realize that he was already wrapped in bandages.

"What happened to me? What’s going on?" Gao Zhitao worried about himself, then checked his hands and feet, feeling relieved when he confirmed they hadn’t been amputated.

Then, he feebly touched his face, frowned and said, "Oh no, am I disfigured? Quick, give me a mirror to look at."

Seeing his grandson so worried, Gao Mantang chuckled in exasperation and shook his head, "Don’t worry, there’s nothing seriously wrong with you."

"Impossible, you’re just comforting me. If there’s nothing wrong, why am I bandaged like this? Is my privates okay?" Gao Zhitao said, then tried to touch, but the thick bandages thwarted him.

Seeing his grandfather’s amused laughter, Gao Zhitao finally felt at ease. Although his grandfather could be quite stern, he knew the old man cared deeply for him.

At this moment, four people rushed in, all dressed in military uniforms. freēnovelkiss.com

There were two middle-aged men and two young men. These four individuals were none other than Gao Zhitao’s two uncles and his two cousins.

"Zhitao, did you cause trouble again?" his uncle said.

"Exactly, look at you, can’t you let anyone worry less? All you do every day is stir up trouble. Why don’t you learn from your cousins?" his second uncle said.

The four came in without asking about Gao Zhitao’s situation and started scolding him.

Gao Zhitao couldn’t be bothered with them. Usually, they pretended to be successful people and often lectured him.

Those present represented almost the entire Gao Family, with the exception of Gao Zhitao’s father.

Gao Mantang was initially pleased to see them, but his face turned grim upon hearing their words.

"All of you be quiet! Do you even know what happened to talk nonsense here? Zhitao alone saved the lives of more than a thousand people, and based on that alone, he deserves a first-class merit!" Gao Mantang angrily declared.

Usually, Gao Zhitao was lackadaisical, but today he had finally made the family proud.

The four stood there with their mouths agape, unable to believe what they heard from Gao Mantang. They knew he was protective of Gao Zhitao, but today he seemed to have exaggerated.

After a brief shock, they all managed a smile and said nothing further. Gao Mantang held a high position within the family, so even if they knew it wasn’t true, they wouldn’t argue.

Gao Mantang seemed to have remembered something and looked at Gao Zhitao, "What were you saying just now? What’s with Xiang Yu? How is he involved?"

Gao Zhitao suddenly recalled and slapped his thigh, which caused his body to ache and he gasped, "I have a friend named Xiang Yu. He’s been arrested by the police. Grandpa, you must go get him out, or he’ll definitely be beaten inside."

Though often skipping work, Gao Zhitao was familiar with the police station’s workings.

"Isn’t he the one who came to our house last night?" Gao Mantang asked.

Gao Zhitao quickly nodded, "That’s right, he was the one who found the bomb."

Gao Mantang had met Xiang Yu before and felt that the young man had served in the military—and not just any standard unit.

"I’ll head over now," Gao Mantang said.

"Dad, why do you have to go personally? Just say the word, I’ll handle it," Gao Zhitao’s uncle stated.

"I’ll go myself." Gao Mantang wanted to ask Xiang Yu about the entire incident, then turned and left.

Five people sat in silence. Gao Zhitao didn’t acknowledge them and wrapped himself in the covers, seeking sleep.

"Zhitao, how did you get hurt like this? Aren’t you old enough to take care of yourself? Look at your grandfather, at his age he still worries about you. How can you be so heartless?" his uncle chided.

His uncle was a senior officer in the army, and well-versed in delivering reprimands.

After his uncle spoke, his second uncle was about to continue when his eldest cousin suddenly said, "Look, today’s news."

The group turned to the TV, where the reported events of the noon played out.

Initially watching out of curiosity, they couldn’t help but feel it was quite the close call.

"Look, that’s grandpa!"

The four stared intently at the screen, someone shouted to rewind, but the show continued without pause. Gao Mantang appeared several more times. Then, they turned to Gao Zhitao, "Did you do this?"

"Did you set the bomb in the building?"

"You’re really a troublemaker! You can’t let anyone rest easy. I’m telling you, if the bomb had really gone off, not even your grandfather could save you."

They bombarded him with accusations in turns. Gao Zhitao couldn’t be bothered to listen, but his body was wrapped tightly, making it difficult to get out of bed.

"I need to pee, help me up," Gao Zhitao finally shouted...
