Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 532 Xiang Yu is the Commander-in-Chief

"If I want you dead, go die," Xiang Yu said directly without any pretense.

"You..." Yang Ming glared fiercely at Xiang Yu but stopped talking. Although Miao Honglei was his older brother, the current Commander was Xiang Yu.

Offending Xiang Yu at this moment would be unwise; if Xiang Yu assigned him a death mission, he would have no one to complain to.

The other squad leaders also secretly rejoiced that they had not provoked Xiang Yu in the past. Xiang Yu was a man without a shred of gentlemanliness. It was better to avoid such a person in the future.

Now, Xiang Yu was acting like a thug, and expecting any gentlemanly demeanor from him would be absurd.

Seeing that Yang Ming had lowered his head in submission, Xiang Yu said no more. After all, their statuses were different now, and Yang Ming posed no threat in Xiang Yu’s eyes.

At best, he was just a minor character.

Xiang Yu was very familiar with the personnel distribution at the headquarters, so he briefed them on the situation and assigned tasks to the squad leaders.

Although Xiang Yu was the Commander on the surface, the final decision was always made by Miao Honglei, their "big brother."

"They all have their tasks. Where shall the two of us go?" Miao Honglei asked with some confusion, looking at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu confidently smiled and said, "The two of us will go straight to the boss’s villa and rescue him."

Miao Honglei nodded, then pondered the entire process. Today’s operation would determine his future. If it failed, it could be a disaster, but success would rocket him to the top.

At that moment, everyone looked at Miao Honglei, waiting for his decision. Suddenly, Miao Honglei sneered and looked at Xiang Yu with suspicion, "You wouldn’t set a trap for me, would you?"

Ever since taking on this position, Miao Honglei had never encountered factional strife like this. Now faced with a great opportunity, he wanted to seize it yet felt apprehensive.

In his eyes, Xiang Yu was talented but also full of tricks, and he was genuinely worried about being played by Xiang Yu. Moreover, Xiang Yu had come alone today; his two brothers were unaccounted for.

Hearing Miao Honglei’s words, Xiang Yu snapped a twig in his hand, looking annoyed at Miao Honglei, "Don’t you trust me?"

Miao Honglei, smiling, looked at Xiang Yu and said, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but this matter is too important. I must be cautious."

After speaking, Miao Honglei stepped back a few steps and leaned on a car, "Ding Yongwei has many people and guns. If we take out the boss, he will undoubtedly become the local tyrant. Why didn’t you join him and instead came to cooperate with me?"

Xiang Yu snorted coldly, "Ding Yongwei is cruel and despotic, and he’s an irreconcilable enemy to me. If I fall into his hands, death is certain. I killed his cousin, I killed Luo Lin; he’d want to eat me alive. How could he possibly allow me by his side?"

Xiang Yu spoke plainly and righteously—there was no appearance of deception.

Miao Honglei kept his gaze fixed on Xiang Yu’s eyes. It was apparent that Xiang Yu didn’t seem to be lying.

"After we rescue the boss, what do you plan to do?" Miao Honglei asked, looking at Xiang Yu.

"Naturally, I will stay by the boss’s side, and you will definitely be valued by him," Xiang Yu replied bluntly.

Miao Honglei chuckled, seemingly convinced that Xiang Yu was not lying, and then probed further, "Have you ever thought about taking the boss’s place for yourself?"

Xiang Yu knew what the other party was thinking. Although Miao Honglei had limited abilities, his ambitions were not small. He certainly wanted to use this opportunity to take down both Zhong Huashan and Ding Yongwei once and for all and dominate on his own.

Xiang Yu shook his head seriously, "I’d rather just stay by the boss’s side, and don’t have any other thoughts."

Miao Honglei nodded in satisfaction but cursed in his heart that Xiang Yu was shortsighted, lacking ambition. To have such talents but no aspirations was truly a waste.

"If this operation is successful, I will definitely thank you," Miao Honglei said with a smile.

By saying so, Miao Honglei was agreeing to Xiang Yu’s plan. Xiang Yu just smiled and said nothing more.

At nine-thirty in the evening, Miao Honglei divided his brothers into groups, each with their own tasks, which could not be confused with one another.

Miao Honglei, who came from a thuggish background, had a significant gap in strategic and tactical knowledge compared to Xiang Yu. He could handle ordinary fights, but when it came to large-scale battles or tactical confrontations, he was completely out of his depth.

In fact, this limitation had capped Miao Honglei’s development; he would only get this far in life. If he aspired for a higher position, he simply wouldn’t be able to handle it.

As he watched them group up, Xiang Yu suddenly looked at Miao Honglei with confusion, "How come I didn’t see Pan Wenjie today?"

From the beginning, Xiang Yu had his suspicions—such an operation, and Pan Wenjie wasn’t involved? Moreover, if he were here, he would definitely oppose Xiang Yu’s plan.

He had always been at odds with Xiang Yu, opposing him no matter whether Xiang Yu was right or wrong.

"He suddenly had some issues; his stomach started hurting, and now he’s lying in the hospital," Miao Honglei simply said without thinking too much of it.

Xiang Yu nodded as well; it was suspicious for Pan Wenjie to fall ill out of the blue at such a time. Seeing Miao Honglei’s current attitude, it seemed he trusted the situation completely, without any suspicion.

"Which hospital is he in? Are there any brothers with him?" Xiang Yu asked as if he were really concerned.

Hearing this, Miao Honglei looked at Xiang Yu with some surprise. He knew that Xiang Yu and Pan Wenjie didn’t get along at all, and it was strange for Xiang Yu to now show concern.

"What are you trying to do?" Miao Honglei asked, suspicious of Xiang Yu.

"Just wanted to pay him a visit," Xiang Yu said with a simple smile.

Miao Honglei sneered then took out his phone, clearly dissatisfied with Xiang Yu’s act.

"Xiao Wang, how’s Wenjie’s condition?" Miao Honglei asked.

"Boss, Brother Pan has acute gastroenteritis. He needs to be hospitalized for careful treatment and is currently on an IV," said a man’s voice from the other end.

Miao Honglei talked some more with the person, mainly instructing them to take good care of Pan Wenjie. After all, Pan Wenjie had been following him for many years, and they had some bond between them.

Miao Honglei, holding his phone, shrugged at Xiang Yu, then went off to discuss matters with his brothers.

Xiang Yu had overheard Miao Honglei’s phone conversation; he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this sudden illness. Pan Wenjie was fine just a few days ago but now was suddenly sick; it was suspicious.

But suspicion was of no use at the moment. It was already past ten in the evening, and in a couple of hours, they would need to leave.

Gazing at the sky filled with stars, Xiang Yu sighed; tonight was sure to be extraordinary. He had a feeling that this evening, a significant upheaval would impact the whole underground world...
