Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 605: Xiang Yu is Just a Wimp

Gao Leiming walked step by step toward Lan Tingting, but even before he reached her, he caught a whiff of a subtle fragrance that refreshed the heart and soul, giving a very comfortable feeling.

Being a man of much experience with women, Gao Leiming did not hold much expectation for Lan Tingting’s appearance. He merely wanted to come over to see just how deep Lan Tingting’s feelings for Xiang Yu were and what she looked like at this moment.

At this time, Zhang Hongbo, who was standing to the side, also saw Gao Leiming approaching. He stepped forward first to block Gao Leiming, his face not wearing the usual playful smile but rather a stern expression.

He did not know what Gao Leiming was here for but had a feeling it was not anything good.

Zhang Hongbo’s actions immediately triggered a reaction from the people around them; they promptly walked over and pushed him aside.

Now that Gao Leiming had stepped out of the car, it was natural that the others would not just sit in the car; they too got out. The entire mountain path was crowded with people, making for a spectacular sight.

Seeing Gao Leiming walking in front, they all gathered around, eager to make a good impression in front of him.

Gao Leiming did not pay them any attention and went straight to Lan Tingting. However, when he stood before her, he was stunned.

He saw Lan Tingting’s face, tear-streaked like pear blossoms bathed in rain, her tearful eyes filled with boundless affection for the person ahead of her, the slightly plump cheeks making her look exceptionally charming.

Although Gao Leiming considered himself a seasoned connoisseur of both women and medicine, he swore he had never seen such a beautiful woman.

The beauty of a girl, after all, is not absolute; it’s about the effect produced by a certain environment, a certain atmosphere. Just like now, Lan Tingting’s worried expression, paired with the surroundings, stirred up a feeling of compassion in anyone who saw her.

Gao Leiming was no exception. Upon seeing Lan Tingting in her current state, he was completely astonished by her appearance. He could not help but feel an immense envy, jealousy, and even hatred towards Xiang Yu.

Fortunately, after a short while, Xiang Yu would lie dead in the streets, and then the beautiful woman in front of him would be his for the taking.

Looking at Lan Tingting’s pitiful state, Gao Leiming couldn’t help but reach out his hand to touch her cheek.

Lan Tingting’s reaction was fierce; she quickly jumped away, her eyes consistently fixed on the silhouette on the small hill ahead, not giving Gao Leiming a single glance.

Seeing Lan Tingting’s reaction, Gao Leiming’s heart tightened. He then turned his head and called up to the hill, "Xiang Yu, come down quickly, are you just going to watch your woman be humiliated by me like this?"

Having said that, Gao Leiming attempted once more to touch Lan Tingting’s cheek, but just then, Shi Jian finally made it to the forefront of the crowd on the hill.

"Let her go." Shi Jian swaggered down the hill.

Lan Tingting heard Shi Jian’s words clearly; that was certainly not Xiang Yu’s voice. She felt somewhat stunned. Why wasn’t it Xiang Yu? Could it be that he wasn’t here at all?

Upon thinking this, Lan Tingting felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, but then, realizing the person coming down the hill was Shi Jian, she began to feel anxious again.

"Shi Jian, you and I have nothing to do with each other; you don’t have to do this for me, please go back," Lan Tingting called out.

The Shi Jian coming down the hill felt very helpless. Lan Tingting’s words, claiming they had nothing to do with each other, made him feel completely uncomfortable. After all, he had known Lan Tingting even before Xiang Yu did; they first met in a bar, but it was after Xiang Yu arrived that he won Lan Tingting’s heart.

Gao Leiming, on the other hand, clapped his hands with a wicked smile and said, "That’s truly touching. I like a woman like this." After finishing his sentence, he turned his head to look at Shi Jian, who was walking down the mountain, and said, "You’re not Xiang Yu. Where is he? What does it mean for you to come out instead of him?"

"Could it be that Xiang Yu is a coward who dares not show himself and sends you to die in his place?" Gao Leiming taunted.

"Xiang Yu isn’t here," Shi Jian said, striding down with an air of composure, as if he had no fear of death.

"You must be joking. He’s not here at this time? Could it be that he heard I was coming over to find you guys and already ran away on his own?" Gao Leiming laughed loudly after speaking, then turned his head to look at Lan Tingting and said, "See, that’s the real face of Xiang Yu. And you still care so much about him."

Lan Tingting looked at Gao Leiming with disdain and huffed, "Xiang Yu is not the person you think he is; he is a real man through and through."

Just then, Shi Jian had already walked down from above. Gao Leiming’s men quickly went over to him, frisked him to make sure he had no weapons, and then they pressed him to the ground.

Gao Leiming stepped forward and kicked Shi Jian to the ground.

"Thinking of fighting me? You’re still too green. Back when I started mixing it up, you guys probably didn’t even know where to find mud to play with," Gao Leiming said, laughing.

The people around also laughed out loud, a reckless laugh filled with mockery.

Today, as long as Gao Leiming took down Shi Jian, the entire city would be his. There would be no other power to contend with him, and he basked in the feeling that he could do as he pleased.

The aura of having everything under control fully emanated from him.

"Shi Jian!" Lan Tingting once again couldn’t control her emotions, tears streaming down as she sobbed, filled with deep guilt.

Last time, because of her, Xiang Yu almost got killed by Yan Bin, and now it was Shi Jian. She felt so useless, always holding them back.

Blood trickled from the corner of Shi Jian’s mouth as he looked up at Lan Tingting and said, "Don’t cry, these are just trifles."

"Trifles?" Gao Leiming laughed as if he heard a huge joke, then kicked Shi Jian in the face again.

One of Shi Jian’s teeth was kicked out, but he did not scream. On the mountain behind him were his brothers, over a hundred strong, and he didn’t want them to worry.

But just then, someone on the mountain suddenly fired a shot. In this silent moment, the unexpected sound of a gunshot was frightening.

Gao Leiming was so scared that he hastily looked up at the mountain; he had been too smug and forgotten that there were people up there. What if Xiang Yu was among them?

"Speak, where exactly is Xiang Yu?" Gao Leiming demanded, grabbing Shi Jian’s face.

At this moment, Shi Jian simply smiled miserably and said, "Xiang Yu? Do you really think Xiang Yu is our boss? He’s just a name. After injuring your brother, he’s been long gone and nobody knows where he is, not even I."

Shi Jian’s words left everyone around stunned; they couldn’t immediately grasp the meaning. In their minds, Xiang Yu was their gang leader, the frontrunner. Now Shi Jian was saying that Xiang Yu had run away on his own.

Especially Lan Tingting, who stared with wide eyes, unable to believe what Shi Jian was saying...
