Upon hearing Jin Guozhong's words, Xiang Yu turned his head towards him, smiled, and said, "I don't believe you." After speaking, he left, leaving Jin Guozhong in confusion there.
By this time, Jin Zhengming had already left with his people. Jin Guozhong surely knew that this was done by someone internal, so he didn't pursue it further, essentially giving them another chance.
They thought they had acted discreetly, but unexpectedly they were exposed. This gave Jin Zhengming quite a fright.
The reason Jin Zhengming stopped Xiang Yu from being a candidate was mainly because he didn't think Xiang Yu had the ability to take on such a responsibility.
But looking at today's events, Xiang Yu doesn't seem to be as simple a person.
If that's the case, he might as well follow the Sect Leader's arrangements. Regarding the position of candidate for leader, he definitely would not interfere anymore.
