Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 603: Grabbing Shi Jian’s Weak Spot

A very important issue facing Shi Jian was how to get Gao Leiming to come here. They lived in the city, and the usual gang clashes mostly took place in the mountains.

No one foolish would venture into the city unless they wished to die.

This was an unwritten rule on the streets of this city, and everyone was quite conscious of it. Any grievances would be settled by arranging a fight in the mountainous area, ensuring a satisfying battle.

It was because of this that Shi Jian had come here early. Then he planned to lure the opposition over. Given Gao Leiming’s proud and arrogant nature, he was certain to come.

Moreover, Gao Leiming didn’t take Shi Jian and his gang seriously at all, so Shi Jian concluded that as long as he notified Gao Leiming, he would definitely come.

Seeing that it was about time, Shi Jian finally called Gao Leiming directly.

"Eastern mountain area, come over with your guys if you dare," Shi Jian said briefly.

Gao Leiming burst into crazy laughter on the phone, his laugh filled with disdain. In his eyes, Xiang Yu and others were just a bunch of small-time thugs. To think they’d dare to challenge him outright was to court death.

"You better have Xiang Yu ready. I’m heading over now to take his head. I’ll make him regret ever hurting my brother," Gao Leiming spoke and was about to hang up, but then suddenly added, "I’ll give you a surprise when I arrive."

Shi Jian was taken aback, letting out a cold snort in his mind but didn’t think too much of it. He had set up an ambush here; if the other group dared to come, they had the firepower for a fight.

The brothers around him grew tense when they heard the other group was coming soon. They spread out quietly, not daring to utter a word, afraid to disturb Shi Jian’s preparations.

Some of them even had to relieve themselves then and there.

Shi Jian felt uneasy, unable to pinpoint what might have been overlooked. Gao Leiming’s words had agitated him. But now the arrow was on the bowstring, he had no choice but to shoot.

No matter what, they had to withstand this first.

It was nearing four o’clock. In just two hours, it would be daylight. Even if Gao Leiming was formidable, they would have to retreat then.

During the day, their target would be too obvious. Although they were powerful, they were nothing compared to the military.

"Big brother, there’s a convoy coming from afar," someone suddenly whispered.

Though the voice was soft, it struck like thunder in the mountainous silence, shocking everyone present. They all prepared for attack, ready to show their strength should the opponents dare to enter the mountains.

Sure enough, the distant convoy was heading straight here. Judging by the number of vehicles, there were more than twice as many as Shi Jian’s group.

"Get ready," Shi Jian commanded from a higher vantage point.

The vehicles drew closer, forming a line that looked quite spectacular from above. But Shi Jian was in no mood to appreciate the view; his concern was whether the vehicles were within firing range.

Most of his brothers were armed with pistols, and only a very few had submachine guns. Pistols were advantageous under normal circumstances, but now, due to range and power issues, they were no match for assault rifles.

The vehicles stopped just outside their firing range, as if the opponents knew exactly where Shi Jian and his men were hiding.

Now, Shi Jian and his group watched the distant convoy cautiously, their pistols off safety and ready to fire at any moment.

"What’s going on?" Xiang Yu couldn’t help but wonder silently as the other party stopped there without any movement.

Just as Shi Jian was puzzled, suddenly there came a burst of loud laughter from the distance, and Gao Leiming laughed from inside the vehicle, "Xiang Yu, I know you are hiding in the mountains waiting for us to enter. I’ve seen through your little scheme a long time ago. You want us to go inside, don’t you? Well, we simply won’t. Take a look, who are these people?"

As soon as Gao Leiming finished speaking, a few people were suddenly pushed forward from behind the convoy in the distance. Because of the great distance and it being four o’clock in the morning, the faces of these people were indiscernible.

It wasn’t until these people drew closer and were illuminated by the headlights that Shi Jian’s heart completely sank.

Leading the group was distinctly Lan Tingting, followed by Ouyang Xiu and Zhang Hongbo.

"You must recognize all three of them, don’t you? Quite familiar, right?" Gao Leiming’s mocking voice reached Shi Jian, sending shivers down his spine.

When he had left with his brothers, he always felt like he had forgotten something. Now it seemed that he had overlooked them.

These people rarely got involved in underworld dealings, and Shi Jian had always subconsciously thought that such matters did not concern them. Thus, he had become careless, and his opponents had taken advantage of this oversight to strike at his vulnerability.

"Xiang Yu, don’t worry about us, just go. Stop getting involved in these matters," Lan Tingting, standing at the forefront, thought Xiang Yu was really in the mountains.

Worried about dragging Xiang Yu down, she shouted loudly.

Zhang Hongbo behind her couldn’t stand it, and although he couldn’t see Shi Jian’s location, he still shouted, "You can’t be so heartless, I’m still in this beast’s hands! If you don’t care about us, aren’t we as good as dead?"

"..."

"Stop talking," Ouyang Xiu whispered to Zhang Hongbo, standing by his side.

He was clearly embarrassed by Zhang Hongbo’s shameless remarks.

"Why shouldn’t I speak, if Brother Yu is here, what’s there to fear? Once I get out, I’ll make sure the guy in the car is seeking teeth all over the place, crying for his parents," Zhang Hongbo boldly declared.

At that moment, someone suddenly slapped him loudly on the back of his head and said fiercely, "If you keep spouting nonsense here, I’ll cut out your tongue right now."

Seeing this, Zhang Hongbo quickly coughed and grinned at the man, saying, "I was just kidding, don’t take it seriously."

"..."

Everyone was baffled by Zhang Hongbo, who truly had a bit of Xiang Yu’s flair; even in such a situation, he could crack jokes. But it wasn’t surprising, as it was exactly his gift of gab that had made him successful in the business world.

If he were to keep quiet, then he wouldn’t be Zhang Hongbo anymore.

If Sun Bo were also here, then the two of them could really have a competition. Both quite young, they were prominent figures in the business world.

Zhang Hongbo turned and grinned at the man, saying, "Let me tell you the truth, brother, I have plenty of money. Just let me go now, and I’ll transfer a billion to your account immediately, how about that?"

No sooner had Zhang Hongbo spoken than everyone around was stunned. If there really was a billion, who would still be here risking their lives on such things? They would have long gone to live quietly in some secluded place.

Seeing the young man truly tempted, Zhang Hongbo quickly smiled again, "Actually, a billion is just a small amount for me; it’s just pocket change."
