Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 536: The Tangle Between Brothers

As soon as Ding Yongwei finished speaking, Miao Honglei’s eyes blazed with rage as he stared at Xiang Yu. He had thought it was a misunderstanding with Xiang Yu just now, but now it seemed Xiang Yu had indeed betrayed him.

What rendered him and everyone else speechless was that Xiang Yu actually started dozing off there. Zhong Qin hurriedly pinched him, jolting him awake.

"Take this seriously. If you don’t, we might all get shot," Zhong Qin said with a pitiful look, clinging to Xiang Yu’s arm.

Only then did Xiang Yu quickly sit up straight and prepare to listen to them seriously.

Seeing Xiang Yu like this, Miao Honglei was so angry he nearly spat blood and he couldn’t utter a single word as he pointed at Xiang Yu.

It was then that Ding Yongwei laughed and said, "You’ve misunderstood, Xiang Yu. The one who betrayed you is not him, but someone else."

At that moment, Ding Yongwei clapped his hands. The sound of applause had just faded when two people walked in, dragging another person between them. As the dragged person walked in, Miao Honglei instantly looked as if he had lost his soul and just sat down on the spot.

"Aren’t you supposed to have gastroenteritis? How come you are here?" Miao Honglei asked the person in front of him, dumbfounded.

The person was none other than Pan Wenjie. Xiang Yu showed no surprise when he saw him because he had already guessed it.

"Why you, why is it you..." Miao Honglei suddenly stood up like a madman, then went to Pan Wenjie and shook his shoulders.

"Big brother, I’m sorry," Pan Wenjie apologized with his head hung low.

After all, the two had been like brothers, with Miao Honglei always treating him as his close confidant. Even before this, when Pan Wenjie complained of a stomachache, Miao Honglei had immediately made arrangements to send him to the hospital.

"’Sorry’ is useless! Tell me, why did you betray me?" Miao Honglei’s eyes were bloodshot with anger, his teeth clenched fiercely. He could admit his own defeat, but he couldn’t accept this fact.

"It’s all because of him, all his doing," Pan Wenjie became somewhat crazed and, after breaking free from the two men behind him, pointed at Xiang Yu and said, "Ever since he came along, you only had eyes for him, wanting to groom him to take my place.

Miao Honglei was devastated and shook his head in profound agony.

"Big brother, I have been with you for so many years and I never felt valued. You centralized all the power upon yourself. The brothers below might outwardly obey me, but in their hearts, they disdain me. Especially after Xiang Yu came, they’d rather follow him.

"Now that Xiang Yu has become the head of the boss’s personal bodyguard team, his status has been elevated. He can insult me, but big brother, you can’t just ignore it. I’m your brother; I’ve been by your side for all these years, and you value the missions more than me. I know you want to unify the organization, but you could at least ask for my opinion..."

Clearly, Pan Wenjie had a lot of grievances. A major reason for his betrayal of Miao Honglei was actually Xiang Yu. He didn’t want Xiang Yu to become the head of the bodyguard team.

If Zhong Huashan were to be rescued, then Xiang Yu’s position would surely be solidified, which was unacceptable. Therefore, he sided with Ding Yongwei. But after he tipped off Ding Yongwei, Ding almost immediately had him captured.

Clearly, he didn’t understand Ding Yongwei’s character well enough.

In Ding Yongwei’s view, since Pan Wenjie could betray Miao Honglei, he could just as easily betray Ding. Thus, Ding Yongwei would never keep such a person by his side.

Now, watching the two men in agony, Ding Yongwei was delighted; this was better than any movie.

"Wenjie, do you know the consequences of betraying me?" Miao Honglei’s eyes were blood-red, his demeanor that of a wild beast.

"Stop it, big brother. It’s all my fault. I am willing to bear the consequences." Just then, Pan Wenjie suddenly turned and charged at one of the men.

He quickly punched the man and then skillfully snatched the pistol from his embrace. He disengaged the safety and lifted his arm.

Xiang Yu used his left hand to shield Zhong Qin, his right hand already clutching the dagger. If Pan Wenjie dared to aim the gun at him, he would take the man’s life without hesitation.

However, to his surprise, Pan Wenjie didn’t raise the gun towards Xiang Yu, but instead, he aimed it at Ding Yongwei.

"You big liar..."

In truth, what Pan Wenjie hated most was Ding Yongwei. He had called Ding Yongwei, claiming to have a vital secret, and Ding Yongwei promised benefits, saying he would keep Pan Wenjie by his side.

But when Pan Wenjie actually came over, Ding Yongwei had him captured immediately. He regretted it, filled with resentment, but it was all too late.

If he hadn’t betrayed his boss, maybe Miao Honglei would have already taken the other side out by now. But now, not only had he harmed him, but he had also harmed himself.

He knew if he killed Ding Yongwei, he wouldn’t survive either, but in the end, he still chose this path. He couldn’t swallow his pride and wanted to kill Ding Yongwei before he died.

Just as he was about to raise his gun, suddenly a gunshot rang out beside Pan Wenjie. Then, Pan Wenjie’s head burst open, and his brain matter flowed out.

The mix of red and white had a certain artistic quality indeed.

Zhong Qin was so frightened that she closed her eyes and fell into Xiang Yu’s embrace, unwilling to look any longer. Meanwhile, Miao Honglei stood there, looking utterly dispirited.

Being the closest to Pan Wenjie, his body and face were splattered with blood.

"Brother," Miao Honglei called out, then let out a silent sigh and sank back down onto the couch.

Throughout the ordeal, Ding Yongwei didn’t look back. He simply gestured with his hand, signaling his men to clean up the mess.

"You all can rest assured, I will never keep traitors like him by my side," Ding Yongwei said sarcastically, looking at Miao Honglei.

Miao Honglei, who had moments before been as proud as a rooster, now slumped completely dejected. Then, he picked up a towel from the couch and began to wipe his face, smearing blood all over the couch.

After the men had removed Pan Wenjie’s dead body, Zhong Qin looked at Xiang Yu with teary eyes and asked, "If I died later, would I look as terrible as that?"

Xiang Yu pinched her nose and replied, "Don’t worry, I’m here. You won’t die so easily."

Although Zhong Qin had always trusted Xiang Yu, trust alone was useless now. She could see the situation clearly. At this moment, Zhong Qin didn’t want to think too much; she wasn’t afraid of death, she was just worried about dying unattractively.

"Now it’s your turn," Ding Yongwei finally turned his head to speak to Zhong Huashan.

In Ding Yongwei’s eyes, there was no longer any respect, just scorn.

Zhong Huashan lay there and then slowly opened his eyes. There were already several cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him, and at this moment, Zhong Huashan seemed to have aged greatly.

Zhong Huashan sat up straight, then extinguished a cigarette butt in the ashtray before looking at Ding Yongwei and asking, "What grievance do you have with me?"

Ding Yongwei stared at Zhong Huashan for a long while without speaking, then suddenly let out a cold laugh and took out his phone to make a call. Everyone was curious about what the young man was up to...
