Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 531 A Battle on the Verge

"Tie Zhuzi," Xiang Yu called Tie Zhuzi over and then made some arrangements.

"Brother Yu, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. You be careful," said Tie Zhuzi, his face filled with concern.

"I’m fine, don’t worry."

After discussing for a bit, Tie Zhuzi packed up his things and left.

The next morning, Xiang Yu made a call to Miao Honglei.

"The operation is tonight, any problems?" Xiang Yu asked directly.

"Tonight?" Miao Honglei sounded quite troubled, "Tonight, I’m afraid I might not be able to gather everyone."

"Boss Miao, you’re not going to tell me that you can’t even assemble forty men, are you? You must be joking with me," Xiang Yu chuckled.

"We’re a bit short on manpower right now, but alright, I’ll do my best. I’ll wait for your call tonight with my men," said Miao Honglei, somewhat reluctantly.

Xiang Yu then gave the time and place and hung up the phone. He had run with Miao Honglei before, and not just forty guys, but even a hundred was easy for him to muster.

Afterwards, Xiang Yu made a call to Xiao Xuan, then gave him some instructions.

What Xiang Yu was most worried about now was Ba Ge; he hadn’t had much contact with the man and didn’t know his character. But from his gut feeling, Ba Ge was definitely not the kind of person who appeared to be uninvolved with the world.

Moreover, Ba Ge had recently been in contact with him, which definitely meant some sort of plot was brewing. In the city, Zhong Huashan and Ba Ge’s forces were the largest, and although there seemed to be no visible conflicts of interest on the surface, one feared there might be some old grudges.

Lying there, Xiang Yu thought through the whole situation, all the forces were ready and waiting, just short of a fuse.

Tonight, Xiang Yu would act as that very fuse, then detonate this superficial calm.

Around twelve o’clock at noon, Xiao Xuan called to tell Xiang Yu that Long Wu and their men had already moved quietly and were safe.

Not long after, Tie Zhuzi also called, saying that everything was ready.

Around eight o’clock in the evening, Xiang Yu got a car and came to a desolate place in the suburbs. He drove off the highway into a small grove of trees and saw that it was already full of parked cars.

As Xiang Yu was approaching the grove, two men stepped out and signaled for Xiang Yu to get out of the car with their guns.

Xiang Yu got out of the car and then walked alone into the grove. By this time, Miao Honglei was already waiting for Xiang Yu.

"To not be late today is somewhat surprising," Miao Honglei said with a chuckle.

Xiang Yu didn’t bother with small talk and went straight to the point, "Are all the men here?"

Miao Honglei nodded and said, "When your captain gives an order, who dares not listen?" His tone was thick with sarcasm.

Xiang Yu looked around, only to see the grove filled with cars and people standing everywhere. He could tell that all these armed men, radiating a warrior’s spirit, were Miao Honglei’s elites.

But Xiang Yu had asked for forty men, and now there were not just forty here, but more like eighty.

"Why are there so many people?" Xiang Yu frowned.

"More hands make light work," Miao Honglei responded dismissively, without further explanation.

Xiang Yu just nodded and didn’t say much more, but he always felt that something was odd in his heart, as if something was missing.

Now that he had so many people under him, then taking advantage of the enemy’s unpreparedness to rush in and rescue Zhong Huashan, Ding Yongwei would certainly be thrown into chaos.

As long as Zhong Huashan got out, he would definitely contact the brothers outside, after all, Zhong Huashan had been mixed up in this place for so many years. As the saying goes, a camel starved to death is still bigger than a horse, as long as he came out, everything would be easy to talk about.

Xiang Yu shared his plan, and Miao Honglei did not object, but simply nodded and said, "Will Ding Yongwei also be there?"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "You know this man better than I do, he’s arrogant and overconfident, thinking no one can touch him. If he’s not busy with other matters, he’s definitely inside."

Miao Honglei just smiled and didn’t say much. Although he found Xiang Yu’s arrogance distasteful at this moment, he had to admit that Xiang Yu was indeed very capable.

Today, his intention was to take advantage of Xiang Yu’s judgment and commanding abilities. If this attempt really managed to catch Ding Yongwei, then everything would develop in a favorable direction.

Xiang Yu called over several of the squad leaders under Miao Honglei to discuss the plan for the action that night.

That’s when he suddenly noticed one of the squad leaders, hemming and hawing, unwilling to come over. Xiang Yu looked over and saw that it was Yang Ming. Previously, Yang Ming had been at odds with Xiang Yu and had posed many challenges to him.

But now, Xiang Yu was someone who could converse directly with Miao Honglei, while Yang Ming was still just a squad leader under Miao Honglei.

Feeling his pride had been wounded, Yang Ming didn’t want to meet Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu and Yang Ming were no longer on the same level, and if it weren’t for today’s encounter, Xiang Yu would have completely forgotten about his existence.

"Squad Leader Yang, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you coming over?" Xiang Yu was not exactly an honorable gentleman and could now take the opportunity to mock the other party.

Yang Ming snorted and continued to stand far away, utterly disinclined to follow Xiang Yu’s arrangement.

"Squad Leader Yang, if you don’t come over, your boss might get angry," Xiang Yu said with a hehe and a laugh.

As expected, as soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, Miao Honglei looked at Yang Ming and said, "Hurry up and come over to discuss. Are you planning to go by yourself, standing over there?"

Yang Ming may not listen to Xiang Yu, but he had to obey Miao Honglei. Miao Honglei knew about their past relationship, but to him, that was all trivial compared to the operation tonight, which he needed to focus on.

Yang Ming came over with a face like a bitter melon and stood there, very reluctantly. When Xiang Yu saw him coming over, he slapped his shoulder hard and chuckled, "You haven’t changed much recently, still the same old you."

Yang Ming only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, then hurriedly moved Xiang Yu’s hand away, standing opposite him.

"I see Squad Leader Yang is full of vigor today, why not let him lead the charge?" Xiang Yu said with a smile as he looked at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming hated this suggestion to his core; he wanted to devour Xiang Yu alive. Everyone knew leading the charge was incredibly dangerous, and now by assigning this task to Yang Ming, it was blatant that they were sending him to his death.

Yang Ming looked at Miao Honglei with a wronged expression, hoping Miao Honglei would reject the suggestion. However, Miao Honglei nodded in agreement without hesitation, as he was only concerned about the success of the operation and nothing else.

"You will have full command of tonight’s mission," Miao Honglei said very seriously.

On the surface, Miao Honglei had handed over the authority to Xiang Yu, but in reality, before Xiang Yu had arrived, he had already instructed his men to adapt to the situation as it unfolded.

"Squad Leader Yang, do you have any objections?" Xiang Yu asked, looking at him. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Seeing that Miao Honglei did not stand up to speak, Yang Ming finally said to Xiang Yu, "This is you venting personal spite. If you want me dead, just say it outright."

Originally, Yang Ming didn’t want to provoke Xiang Yu, as their statuses were no longer the same, and deep down, he had some aversion...
