Xiang Yu's behavior had completely conquered Zhong Huashan's heart. Before, he had suspected Xiang Yu, thinking that Xiang Yu only wanted to use Zhong Qin to form a relationship with him, or that Xiang Yu was an undercover agent sent by someone else.
He wanted to clearly see Xiang Yu's true colors and then identify who was pulling the strings behind him. In that way, he could counter the enemy's plans and eliminate them.
Of course, Xiang Yu had to die. As long as he assigned him a mission and then secretly killed him during it, not only would the enemy be unaware, but they would also expose themselves.
Just like Ding Yongwei who had sent people to infiltrate Zhong Huashan's side, thinking he could control his movements, he didn't realize that he had already been used by Zhong Huashan. Not only did he expose himself, but he also lost his brothers.
