Chapter 427 - 427 427 The Confidence of Luo Lin Group

427: Chapter 427: The Confidence of Luo Lin Group 427: Chapter 427: The Confidence of Luo Lin Group Xiang Yu found himself drifting off into a restless slumber after a flurry of chaotic thoughts.

Meanwhile, in Ding Yongwei’s office, he was discussing matters with Luo Lin.

“Boss, Eighth Brother has been like a ghost recently, we have no idea where he actually is,” Luo Lin said anxiously.

He had secretly sent people to investigate for a day but had found no trace of Eighth Brother.

“Don’t panic yet, I’ve already sent someone to investigate, and if all goes well, we should have clarity by tonight,” Ding Yongwei said confidently.

“Boss, do we still have an undercover in Eighth Brother’s place?” Luo Lin asked cautiously, sensing Ding Yongwei’s confidence.

Ding Yongwei responded with an enigmatic smile but offered no explanation.

Luo Lin had worked with Ding Yongwei for five years and spent almost two years by his side, thinking he knew him well, but now he realized how far off he still was.

“I’ve notified the brothers in the shadows; they will back you up fully when you make your move,” Ding Yongwei said.

“But…” Luo Lin was worried.

After all, the rules of the mission dictated they had to complete it personally.

If others got involved during the action, it would mean he had lost.

“Stop being naive.

This is a tremendous opportunity for you.

You must win by any means necessary.

Besides, no one knows about those in the shadows, and even if they did, they wouldn’t know they’re our people,” Ding Yongwei said with a cold smile.

These hidden pieces had been placed by him many years ago and had covertly executed some operations.

They were his reliable aides, particularly pivotal in times of need, capable of achieving unexpected results.

Only Ding Yongwei knew of their existence, so even Luo Lin was in the dark about who these people were.

Although Luo Lin felt somewhat uncomfortable, he didn’t show it.

“Moreover, do you think we’re the only ones playing games?

Our brothers reported that some mysterious people have been investigating Tie Sanjiang’s whereabouts.

Those must be Miao Honglei’s men; he too hopes Xiang Yu will win,” Ding Yongwei said with a wry smile, clearly not convinced of Xiang Yu’s chances of victory.

“The brothers reported that Xiang Yu seems to have disappeared; he hasn’t returned to the hotel,” Luo Lin said with some concern.

He wasn’t worried about Xiang Yu’s safety but about the possibility of Xiang Yu playing some trick.

Luo Lin would feel at ease as long as Xiang Yu was within his surveillance range, but now that Xiang Yu had vanished, it made him uneasy.

“Relax.

Who do you think Tie Sanjiang is, a street vendor?” Ding Yongwei said with a laugh and continued, “Don’t even imagine it’s simple for Xiang Yu to act alone.

Even if our entire organization mobilized to take down Tie Sanjiang, it wouldn’t be an easy task.”

Reassured by Ding Yongwei’s words, Luo Lin felt much better.

Having grown up here, he had heard many legends about Tie Sanjiang, a living legend who was not someone Xiang Yu could handle.

At this moment, Luo Lin was already fantasizing about his life after becoming the chief bodyguard.

Only Zhong Huashan and Ding Yongwei would be above him, and they could not touch him.

The feeling of being second only to one person and above tens of thousands thrilled him.

Ding Yongwei seemed to read his mind and said with a smile, “What, can’t wait?”

Luo Lin didn’t hide his expression and chuckled, “Boss, no matter what happens, I’m always your soldier.” Luo Lin needed to keep Ding Yongwei’s trust until the final moment of victory before showing his true nature.

Working under Ding Yongwei, Luo Lin had long since grown tired of it.

Not only was Ding Yongwei stingy, but he was also overly suspicious.

Luo Lin did not doubt for a second that, should they truly encounter danger, Ding Yongwei would be the first to use him as a human shield.

Ding Yongwei nodded with a smile, “Luo Lin, remember what you’re saying now.

No matter what happens, you will always be my brother, and I will always be your elder brother.

If one day you dare to betray me…”

Ding Yongwei didn’t finish his sentence, Luo Lin glanced up at him and caught the coldness in his face, as if Luo Lin were his mortal enemy.

Luo Lin quickly gave an awkward smile, “Don’t worry, big brother.

No matter what, I will listen to you.”

Ding Yongwei then nodded; he had a crazy plan in his mind, and the first step was to place Luo Lin at the boss’s side.

If this first step were to fail, then the road ahead would be even more difficult.

Furthermore, if the first step succeeded but Luo Lin betrayed him later on, then his loss would be even greater.

At this moment, he needed to ensure that Luo Lin was truly committed to following him.

From the current standpoint, Luo Lin seemed to have no other ideas, but that was no guarantee for the future; he planned to have people keep an eye on him.

Although the two men were “brothers” now, there was a lot going through their minds.

Most thoughts were about what would happen after Luo Lin became the bodyguard captain.

They completely overlooked Xiang Yu, thinking his task was simply impossible to complete.

When Xiang Yu woke up from the pool, it was already late afternoon.

His skin had turned white from being soaked in water for so long.

He had just woken up when Zhang Han approached with a helpless expression, “You surely know how to enjoy yourself.

You’re a server here, not a customer.”

Xiang Yu could only give an apologetic chuckle, realizing that he had slept for a lengthy period, and during that time, Zhang Han had been busy.

Xiang Yu had a favorable impression of the young man.

He was someone responsible and courageous in facing challenges, only his luck had not been good, and he had yet to meet a benefactor to help him.

“I’ll be right there,” said Xiang Yu as he stood up and stretched.

Then he noticed Zhang Han looking at him in surprise, and realizing something was amiss, quickly sat back down into the water.

It was clear that Zhang Han had seen the scars on Xiang Yu’s body which were harrowing to behold.

Enough to make anyone scream upon seeing them.

“You’re not interested in men too, are you?

I’ll warn you, I’m not into messing around,” Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Zhang Han naturally understood that Xiang Yu was just covering his embarrassment.

He didn’t say much or ask further and simply walked away with a smile.

Xiang Yu quickly got dressed and jumped out of the pool, seeing Zhang Han busily working alone and wanting to offer help.

Zhang Han quickly stopped him, then said with a smile, “You better get ready, you have to meet with Boss Zheng later tonight.”

In Zhang Han’s eyes, Xiang Yu was not a good man, having heard the intense sounds of battle between Xiang Yu and a woman earlier in the afternoon.

Having just seen Xiang Yu’s scars, he was even more convinced that Xiang Yu was no saint.

Now that Boss Zheng was taking a fresh look at Xiang Yu, he didn’t believe Xiang Yu would resist the temptation and would surely end up being captivated, turning into someone like He Dong.

But no matter what Xiang Yu turned into, it didn’t much concern him; he was just there to work and earn money…
