Urban Super Soldier King
Chapter 167 - 167 167 They Did This

167: Chapter 167: They Did This 167: Chapter 167: They Did This Xiang Yu had actively invited Ouyang Xiu, not only as a sign of trust but also wanting to broaden Ouyang Xiu’s horizons.

The matters of the underworld were not as simple as he had imagined.

Since Ouyang Xiu had chosen to seek justice for his father, he was bound to go through such stages.

Now, by bringing him along, Xiang Yu considered it a form of training for him.

When they arrived at the logistics center, Tie Zhuzi had an anxious look on his face, and then he reported the situation of the investigation.

Tie Zhuzi had come to logistics by Xiang Yu’s arrangement, and he had not told anyone.

Now, with Ning Xiaolu missing, no one else had noticed.

When Lan Tingting saw Xiang Yu arrive, she ran over excitedly.

But when she saw Long Wu by Xiang Yu’s side, her heart ached, and after Xiang Yu arrived, he didn’t speak to her but went directly to Ning Xiaolu’s dormitory.

Lan Tingting also sensed something was wrong, then pulled Tie Zhuzi aside and asked, “What happened?”

Before anything had been confirmed, Tie Zhuzi did not want to spread rumors and cause panic, so he just shook his head, gave a bitter smile, and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Lan Tingting didn’t ask further, and then approached Xiang Yu, asking, “Has something happened to Xiaolu?”

Seeing Lan Tingting looking worried, Xiang Yu replied with a light smile, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing.” Just then, Xiang Yu suddenly noticed a yellow object at the foot of Ning Xiaolu’s bed.

He stepped forward to take a closer look and realized it was paper money.

He turned to Lan Tingting and asked, “Has Ning Xiaolu been acting unusual lately?”

Lan Tingting suddenly froze, unusual?

What kind of unusual?

Unusual in health?

Or…

Lan Tingting had previously suspected that there was something between Xiang Yu and Ning Xiaolu, though Ning Xiaolu denied it.

Now, Xiang Yu’s hurried questioning about any unusual signs puzzled her.

Seeing Lan Tingting frozen there, Xiang Yu did not question further, then turned around and prepared to leave.

“Yesterday, it seemed like she cried.

She was crying alone in her room last night, and I just happened to hear it as I passed by,” Lan Tingting suddenly remembered the occurrence from the night before, unsure if it counted as unusual.

Xiang Yu nodded, then hurried off with them.

Tie Zhuzi drove for Xiang Yu, while Ouyang Xiu followed in another car.

When Tie Zhuzi saw Ouyang Xiu coming together with Xiang Yu, he knew that Xiang Yu had agreed to help him.

“Go to the cemetery,” Xiang Yu said simply.

He did not know Ning Xiaolu well, but he knew her father had been killed by Ding Yongzhi.

Thinking of Ning Xiaolu’s father’s death, and seeing the paper money by her bed, Xiang Yu guessed that today must be the anniversary of her father’s death.

But it seemed Ding Yongzhi also remembered this day, and it seemed he had already discovered Ning Xiaolu hiding in logistics.

Xiang Yu had instructed Tie Zhuzi to go and protect Ning Xiaolu because he worried that Ding Yongzhi would harm her.

Xiang Yu had promised to avenge Ning Xiaolu, but a suitable opportunity had not presented itself for a long time.

Although Ding Yongzhi had done many bad deeds and was still engaged in shady activities, he was still of some use to Xiang Yu because Xiang Yu wanted to make contact with the secret organization through him.

However, now it seemed that Ding Yongzhi’s usefulness was diminishing, as Xiang Yu had gradually established direct contact with the secret organization.

Several people hurried to the cemetery where Xiang Yu found the Tomb Guardian.

The Tomb Guardian was an old man who was somewhat hard of hearing, and it took him quite some time to locate the gravestone of Ning Xiaolu’s father.

Upon reaching the gravestone, they saw two bunches of fresh flowers neatly placed as though they had just been put there, clearly indicating that Ning Xiaolu had already been there.

Xiang Yu took out his mobile phone intending to call Ning Xiaolu, wondering if perhaps she had already gone back, but he heard the sound of the call going to voicemail.

He then called Lan Tingting, only to learn that Ning Xiaolu hadn’t returned.

“Brother Yu, Ning Xiaolu has been here, but there are other scents in the air as well,” Tie Zhuzi said with a frown.

He smelled a familiar scent but couldn’t recall where he had encountered it before.

“It was Ding Yongzhi’s doing,” Xiang Yu suddenly stated, standing there very calmly.

“That’s right, it was them,” Tie Zhuzi affirmed decisively.

“That day, when we were discussing a partnership in his hotel, he had hidden two people in his cabinet.

It’s that same scent.”

With Xiang Yu’s reminder, Tie Zhuzi suddenly remembered.

When the three of them were discussing the partnership at Ding Yongzhi’s place, Ding Yongzhi, not trusting them, had hidden two people in the cabinet.

Although he thought it was kept secret, Xiang Yu and his group had already seen through the deception.

Long Wu and Ouyang Xiu, standing to the side, looked at Tie Zhuzi with faces full of surprise.

Normally, it was hard to see any special abilities in this big man, but unexpectedly, his nose was incredibly sensitive.

Standing there, they could only smell a fragrance from the flowers nearby, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly where it was coming from.

“Let’s go to Xinglong Hotel,” Xiang Yu said, and then they followed him.

Xinglong Hotel, owned by Ding Yongzhi, was a star-rated hotel.

It was due to this project that he fell out with Ning Xiaolu’s father, who then died under mysterious circumstances.

Others might not know what happened, but Ning Xiaolu did—these were Ding Yongzhi’s doing.

Although she knew, as a frail woman, she couldn’t avenge her father.

Last time, Xiang Yu had mentioned cooperating with Ding Yongzhi, which almost led to Ning Xiaolu attempting to assassinate him.

It was then, in Ning Xiaolu’s eyes, that Xiang Yu and his group were not really on the same side.

Ouyang Xiu was following Xiang Yu for the first time.

Although it had been a short time, he had already sensed the energy in Xiang Yu.

That type of calm composure in the face of complex situations had deeply embedded itself in his mind.

He swore he would also become a strong person like that.

If he were faced with such a situation, his first action would be to call the police, then he would search the streets shouting his name.

Yet, with just one visit, Xiang Yu already knew who the perpetrator was.

Arriving in front of Xinglong Hotel, Xiang Yu got out of the car, his demeanor nonchalant, and then he swaggered toward the hotel.

Xiang Yu was now considered a regular here; whether it was the staff or the security, everyone knew him.

At that moment, a server hurried over and stood beside Tie Zhuzi, a shy expression on her face, “It’s been a long time since you’ve been here.” Ever since the last time Tie Zhuzi had left an impression on her, she had been shocked by his robustness, always fantasizing that Tie Zhuzi would once again grace her with his presence.

Today, seeing Tie Zhuzi, she felt as if spring had finally arrived for her.

She was often favored by both Ding Yongzhi and his son, but the two were perverted in nature, and also impotent, so she never felt much.

But Tie Zhuzi was different; after one time with him, she was completely enamored and didn’t want to be with anyone else…
