Chapter 147 - 147 147 Disdain Us as a Burden

147: Chapter 147: Disdain Us as a Burden 147: Chapter 147: Disdain Us as a Burden Long Wu’s demeanor was quite cold, perhaps due to the environment she was in.

Being a girl and mixing with Long Zaitian and others in society every day, it was easy to be bullied if she didn’t learn some skills.

She also didn’t want to show weakness in front of others, only masking her inner sense of loss with an icy exterior.

Over time, she had become known as an icy beauty, having forgotten what it felt like to smile genuinely.

Although she had only followed Xiang Yu for a short while, she felt very relaxed and comfortable with him, as if she had known him for a long time, and was very familiar with him.

The feeling was quite wonderful.

Seeing them like this this morning, for the first time in a long while, Long Wu smiled happily.

When Long Wu was fully prepared and returned to the hall, Xiang Yu and the others had already left, and she didn’t know where they had gone.

She had just sat down when suddenly a car arrived outside, a car that she recognized well—it was Long Zaitian, without the others accompanying him.

“Where are they?” Long Zaitian came in and saw Long Wu sitting there alone and asked.

“I don’t know where they went,” Long Wu replied.

“Are you alright staying here?” Long Zaitian had come over in such a hurry today, actually quite worried about Long Wu.

After all, she was his sister, and since she was so beautiful and Xiang Yu was somewhat lecherous, he was really worried that Xiang Yu might harbor improper thoughts toward his sister.

Seeing the worried look on Long Zaitian’s face, Long Wu suddenly smiled again.

Seeing Long Wu like this, Long Zaitian completely relaxed.

He knew his sister best, and since she was smiling now, it meant everything was fine.

“Why didn’t you go with them?” Long Zaitian asked.

“They got scared,” Long Wu replied, her face returning to its indifferent expression.

Long Zaitian: “…”

Xiang Yu and his two companions arrived at the logistics center, where Zhang Hongbo and the others hurried over upon hearing the news.

Lan Tingting also came along.

“Yu Bro…” Zhang Hongbo said, obviously very excited to see Xiang Yu.

Xiao Xuan stood silently at the side, but his expression was brighter than before.

“You’re here,” Lan Tingting said tenderly to Xiang Yu, her eyelids had been twitching all night, and she was very worried about him, thinking about calling him several times, but she ultimately held back.

“Let’s talk inside,” Xiang Yu finished speaking and led everyone to the logistics conference room, with Shi Jian and the other two following.

After some pleasantries, Xiang Yu said to Zhang Hongbo and Xiao Xuan, “I have a task for the two of you.”

Lan Tingting was somewhat anxious when she heard this.

She knew what Xiang Yu and his group were involved in and quickly said, “Xiang Yu, I don’t care what you do, but you can’t involve them.

They’re still kids.”

Although she hadn’t been in contact with Zhang Hongbo and the others for long, Lan Tingting had already come to think of them as her younger brothers.

“Yu Bro, just tell us the task.

As long as Xiao Xuan and I can do it, we will definitely brave any danger,” Zhang Hongbo finished speaking and looked at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan didn’t speak, but his resolute eyes said it all; he was waiting for Xiang Yu to speak.

“The task is complex and requires you to be very careful.

It will also require you to leave the city for a while.

The specifics of the task will be explained to you two by Wu Jing,” Xiang Yu finished and then introduced Wu Jing to them.

Hongbo looked at Wu Jing, then at Xiang Yu, skepticism in his eyes as he asked, “How long will it take?”

“That depends on you.

If you perform well, you can return soon; if not, it might take longer,” Xiang Yu said.

Hongbo’s eyes held a trace of loss, then he nodded.

The group sat and discussed recent developments for a while before they all left, leaving only Xiang Yu and Lan Tingting behind.

As the two sat there, they suddenly found themselves at a loss for words, creating an awkward silence.

Eventually, Lan Tingting broke the silence, “They are still kids.

How could you bear to send them away?”

“It’s safer there,” Xiang Yu replied briefly, not wanting to elaborate on this topic or involve Lan Tingting too much, “How have you been?” Xiang Yu asked.

“Not so great.” Lan Tingting wanted to say how much she missed him, but her words changed as she looked at Xiang Yu, “Your clothes look nice.”

She knew Xiang Yu wouldn’t shop for clothes, and the outfit he was wearing, which fit well and looked good, definitely wasn’t chosen by him or by the likes of Tie Zhuzi and the others.

“Really?

A friend gave it to me,” Xiang Yu chuckled.

He knew exactly what Lan Tingting was thinking.

If he told her it was a gift from a beautiful woman, she would be upset all day.

“By the way, I still need to talk to Hongbo about some things.” Xiang Yu feigned a sudden realization, then stood up and walked outside.

“Xiang Yu!” Just then, Lan Tingting suddenly called out to him, lowered her head, bit her lip, and gathered up her courage to say, “Come back to visit more often.”

Xiang Yu smiled, then nodded and walked out.

Downstairs, he saw Hongbo and Xiao Xuan sitting on a box, both wearing gloomy expressions as if they were upset.

Xiang Yu smiled as he approached and also sat on the box, “What’s wrong, unhappy?”

“Brother Yu!” At that moment, Hongbo looked at Xiang Yu, “Do you think we are a burden and you no longer want us here?”

Xiao Xuan also looked up at Xiang Yu, his eyes filled with confusion.

Xiang Yu shook his head, smiled, and took a handful of peanuts from his pocket and handed them to the two, “Don’t overthink it.

This time I want you two to go out to get some practice.

Wu Jing is a good man.

Follow him, learn well, help him.

What you do there is very important to me.”

“You don’t think we are a burden?” Hongbo asked.

Xiang Yu grimaced, patting his head, “You two are my good brothers, how could I think that?

Besides, you might very well be my right-hand men in the future.”

Reassured by Xiang Yu’s answer, Hongbo cheered up and stood up, laughing heartily, “Brother Yu, don’t worry, I will definitely learn my skills well.

When Xiao Xuan and I return, we’ll surely impress you.

Then, it’ll be my turn to protect you, and we’ll see who dares to bully us.”

Xiang Yu only smiled, saying nothing more as Hongbo was known to boast endearingly.

The three of them chatted away, and then Hongbo and Xiao Xuan stood up to get ready.

Just then, Xiang Yu also stood and stopped them, “You are men, and there are things you need to know.

Your master, Hong Jinshuai, was killed by someone yesterday.

But don’t worry, I took care of the murderer last night.

His name was Ba Song.

“Remember, many times, your strength is meant to protect the people around you.” Xiang Yu knew it was somewhat cruel to say this, but he understood that as men, they must bear responsibility.

If they couldn’t handle this pain, they wouldn’t achieve much later…
