Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 526: You Can’t Escape Even If He Dies

Pan Wenjie knew about Zhong Huashan’s situation. He knew that Xiang Yu’s visit today was definitely to seek help from big brother. Now, Xiang Yu’s comment about not regretting it made him feel somewhat uneasy.

"Hold on, what exactly do you need from big brother?" Pan Wenjie quickly asked as he saw Xiang Yu trying to leave.

"A big matter," Xiang Yu turned his head and said to Pan Wenjie.

Pan Wenjie thought for a moment before stepping away to make a phone call. In less than a minute, he came back.

"Since it’s a big matter, then come inside with me," Pan Wenjie said. Then he turned and walked towards the villa.

Xiang Yu hurried to follow.

"Brother Yu, why would he regret it?" Tie Zhuzi whispered from behind.

"I’m fooling him," Xiang Yu said with a chuckle, even though his voice was very soft, Pan Wenjie heard him loud and clear.

Pan Wenjie was furious. He turned around and glared at Xiang Yu fiercely. He had never imagined that there would be such a shameless person in this world.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and lead the way," Xiang Yu said impatiently.

Pan Wenjie was almost driven mad by Xiang Yu’s attitude, but since Miao Honglei had agreed to meet with Xiang Yu, he couldn’t just send Xiang Yu away.

The three of them arrived at the villa’s ground floor hall where Miao Honglei was already sitting, waiting for them.

"Xiang Yu, it’s been a long time since you’ve come back," Miao Honglei, sitting there without getting up, just chuckled and said, with a somewhat stiff expression on his face.

Xiang Yu could clearly sense the change in treatment. If Zhong Huashan hadn’t run into trouble, then Miao Honglei would surely have stood up to welcome him with a smile.

But now, Miao Honglei’s demeanor was one of indifference.

Xiang Yu didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly sat down on the sofa across from him.

"What tea would you like to drink?" Miao Honglei asked politely first.

"Anything, as long as it’s the most expensive," Xiang Yu said while looking at Pan Wenjie behind Miao Honglei, indicating he wanted him to make the tea.

Even though the boss was under house arrest, his prestige remained. Xiang Yu was the head of his bodyguard team, and regardless of the circumstances, that was his status there.

That’s why he could sit across from Miao Honglei, while Pan Wenjie had to stand there.

Pan Wenjie just snorted coldly at Xiang Yu, with no intention of pouring the water. Of course, Xiang Yu was just teasing him.

"How have you been lately, when did you come back..." Miao Honglei, fully aware that Xiang Yu had come today with a matter to discuss, yet deliberately not mentioning it, began to talk to Xiang Yu about inconsequential things.

Xiang Yu didn’t want to beat around the bush, and said, "Do you know that the boss is in trouble?"

Miao Honglei then lit a cigarette, took a light puff and sighed, "I know about it, but there’s nothing I can do."

"You haven’t even thought about it, so how could you have a solution," Xiang Yu said bluntly.

Miao Honglei just looked at Xiang Yu with a gentle smile and said, "It seems you really care about the boss."

"He’s our boss, we should ensure his safety. Let me put it this way, now that the boss is controlled by Ding Yongwei, do you think you’re safe?" Xiang Yu looked at him and said.

"What do you mean?" Miao Honglei spat out a puff of smoke before he looked at Xiang Yu.

"You know Ding Yongwei better than I do; his ambition is massive. Now the boss is under his soft imprisonment, and once he swallows up all of the boss’s power, you’ll be next on his chopping block. You think you can escape then?" Xiang Yu threatened.

At this, Miao Honglei sat up straight and took a deep drag of his cigarette, mulling it over. He was well aware of Ding Yongwei’s character; Ding was someone who couldn’t stand anyone being better than him.

If he saw someone stronger than himself, he would definitely get rid of them by any means necessary.

"What are you suggesting?" Miao Honglei looked at Xiang Yu.

"You know exactly what I’m suggesting – we work together to take down Ding Yongwei. Once we do, the boss will surely value you highly, and you’ll become the boss’s right-hand man," Xiang Yu said, holding his gaze firmly.

Miao Honglei laughed out loud upon hearing this and then said to Xiang Yu, "You must be joking. Do you know who Ding Yongwei is? You think you can just cut him down whenever you like? With his current power, even two of me wouldn’t be a match for him."

"But if you don’t agree, once he’s done with the boss, he’ll certainly come after you. Given your relationship, it’ll be a dead end for you by then," Xiang Yu said calmly.

The relationship between Ding Yongwei and Miao Honglei was not good. Once Ding Yongwei grew stronger, he would certainly not spare Miao Honglei – a thought that Miao too harbored.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who knows how long it will take for him to swallow up all of the boss’s people," Pan Wenjie suddenly said from behind.

Xiang Yu ignored Pan Wenjie, not even sparing him a glance, and continued to Miao Honglei, "With Ding Yongwei’s methods, it won’t take long for him to completely control the boss’s men. By then, it will be too late."

Seeing Xiang Yu ignoring him completely, Pan Wenjie was furious internally. He used to be Xiang Yu’s immediate superior, and now Xiang Yu was paying him no mind, leaving him utterly helpless.

"Big brother, don’t fall for Xiang Yu’s sweet talk. I think this guy dreams of being the boss’s bodyguard; he must be going crazy now that he hasn’t achieved it," Pan Wenjie said from behind.

"Think it over yourself. If you save the boss, he will definitely be grateful. This is your chance to shine; miss it, and you’ll lose the opportunity," Xiang Yu kept persuading.

Miao Honglei hesitated. Although he knew that Xiang Yu was just a mouthpiece, the fact was right in front of him – if he didn’t make a move now, he might indeed be eliminated by Ding Yongwei later on.

Pan Wenjie was also anxious in the background. They were having a good time right now; if they provoked Ding Yongwei, they might get killed.

Additionally, he didn’t want to rescue Zhong Huashan; if Zhong were saved, Xiang Yu’s status would surely rise. He despised Xiang Yu and naturally did not wish to see him succeed.

"Ding Yongwei has too many men; we can’t compete with them alone; it would only provoke him," Miao Honglei said.

"If we work together, taking him down shouldn’t be a problem," Xiang Yu stated plainly.

Upon hearing this, Miao Honglei suddenly laughed. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes as he looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Work with you? How many men do you have under you?"

It was clear that Miao Honglei didn’t believe in Xiang Yu. He was just a figurehead; on the surface, he was the captain of the bodyguard team, but in reality, he was now powerless.

The whereabouts of Zhong Huashan’s bodyguards were unknown, and they might have already been recruited by Ding Yongwei.

Although Miao Honglei knew Xiang Yu was right, working with him was nothing but a joke.

"Yeah, what qualifies you to work with us now? No men, no guns, you think just with your words you can join forces with us? That’s just laughable," Pan Wenjie seized the opportunity to mock.

"Shut your mouth," Tie Zhuzi finally lost his patience from behind Xiang Yu, "You’ve been nothing but a nuisance, when will you ever stop?".

In the past, in the eyes of Pan Wenjie, Tie Zhuzi was just a nobody, a goon; and now he dared to scold him. This made him almost grind his teeth with hatred, and he vowed in the shadows that he would never stand with Xiang Yu...
