Urban Super Soldier King
Chapter 451 - 451 451 Who is the Ultimate Winner

451: Chapter 451: Who is the Ultimate Winner 451: Chapter 451: Who is the Ultimate Winner Zhong Huashan sat there, stunned, for quite a while after taking a phone call.

He couldn’t shake a feeling of disbelief.

He then called the men who were keeping tabs on Xiang Yu, but the feedback he got was that Xiang Yu hadn’t used anyone else; he’d done everything on his own.

Finally, he had no choice but to accept the truth and he sighed.

Xiang Yu had completed the task—did that mean Luo Lin had as well?

With that thought, Zhong Huashan hastily picked up the phone to inquire.

The conclusion was that Luo Lin had involved Ding Yongwei’s forces, yet still failed to complete the task, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted off his chest.

With Tie Sanjiang truly dead, there were many things he needed to do; he couldn’t wait any longer.

He then instructed his subordinates to call Ding Yongwei and Miao Honglei and have them come over in the afternoon.

When Xiang Yu received the call from Miao Honglei, it was already nine in the morning, and he had returned to his room, lying there while Long Wu sat beside him, having prepared many delicious dishes for Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu ate, feeling somewhat awkward, because Long Wu was completely ignoring him.

She must have noticed the scent of perfume on Xiang Yu.

“Has anything happened these last couple of days?” Xiang Yu asked with a smile.

Long Wu glanced at him and said, “Don’t make small talk if there’s nothing to say.

I don’t want to deal with you.”

Seeing this, Xiang Yu quickly shut his mouth and then ate his meal with big bites.

Although Long Wu said this, the food she made was still delicious.

In the afternoon, the squad leaders under Xiang Yu all came to see him.

This included Wang Ze and Jiang Chao, who also took the opportunity to report on the recent situation.

Their enterprises were gradually expanding and all the brothers were busily and joyfully engaged in their work.

Now that they had money, everything was developing for the better.

All of this was brought to them by Xiang Yu, and so, his men held him in high esteem.

Their admiration wasn’t rooted in fear, but in genuine respect from the depths of their hearts.

Xiang Yu was like their own brother, and if an outsider spoke ill of Xiang Yu, they would rush over without hesitation and deliver a couple of slaps to the offender’s face.

Jiang Chao and the others spent the whole afternoon with Xiang Yu and finally left when they saw that he was tired.

In Xiang Yu’s room, only Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan remained.

“How did things go with Luo Lin and his lot?” Xiang Yu asked.

“Heard the mission failed,” Tie Zhuzi said.

Xiang Yu simply nodded, his face showing little change.

In his view, Brother Ba was not that easy to deal with, and he actually liked the man; if he really had been taken out by Luo Lin, it would have been a shame.

The next morning, after they had eaten breakfast, it was already eight thirty.

“Brother Yu, we should get going.

They’re definitely going to be surprised today,” Tie Zhuzi said with a grin.

Xiang Yu grunted in acknowledgment but didn’t immediately move.

He lay there for a bit longer, then finally stood up, called Tie Zhuzi, and the two of them set off.

In the headquarters’ large meeting room, Ding Yongwei, Miao Honglei, their bodyguards, and the squad leaders had already gathered.

Luo Lin also stood behind Ding Yongwei.

Despite the mission’s failure, he didn’t feel disgraced; after all, the task was too difficult, impossible for anyone to complete.

Xiang Yu would surely be the same, and his task was even more challenging; he couldn’t possibly have completed it.

“Why hasn’t Xiang Yu come, is it because he didn’t complete the task and was too scared to show up?” At this time, Ding Yongwei looked at Miao Honglei and said with a smile.

The competition between Luo Lin and Xiang Yu was actually a competition between Ding Yongwei and Miao Honglei.

Ever since Shen San died, their conflict had gradually come to the surface.

“If Xiang Yu hasn’t completed the task, could it be that Luo Lin has?

Xiang Yu doesn’t dare to show up, which shows he still has some sense of shame, unlike some people who are shameless and brazen,” Miao Honglei mocked.

Ding Yongwei didn’t get angry after hearing this, but let out a cold laugh and said, “It’s a matter of attitude, unrelated to the success or failure of the task.”

The two of them were there, neither willing to back down, speaking their minds until Zhong Huashan finally came in, and then it quieted down.

“Now that everyone is here, let’s get started,” Zhong Huashan swept a glance around and suddenly furrowed his brows.

At that moment, Miao Honglei suddenly said, “Boss, Xiang Yu hasn’t arrived yet, he probably got held up.”

Zhong Huashan had already noticed the absence of Xiang Yu.

He sat there with a stern face, not saying a word.

Since he didn’t speak, naturally, no one else would say anything either.

In a moment, the spacious conference hall, with so many people standing there, became eerily quiet.

This atmosphere lasted for a full twenty minutes until Zhong Huashan suddenly realized a problem—could Xiang Yu have learned something and fled?

If he knew too much, then he must not be allowed to live.

Just as Zhong Huashan was filled with doubts, at that moment, Xiang Yu came in with Tie Zhuzi, both looking travel-worn.

Seeing Xiang Yu come in, Ding Yongwei gave a snort of derision and said, “So you actually remember to come, Xiang Yu.

Do you even know what time it is?

The boss has been waiting for a long time.

You’re being disrespectful to the boss, you know?”

Xiang Yu didn’t even bother with him and went straight to Zhong Huashan, saying apologetically, “I’m sorry, boss, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I’m late.”

Originally, Zhong Huashan wanted to get angry, but in the end, he just nodded and smiled, signaling Xiang Yu to join the others.

Seeing that Zhong Huashan didn’t say anything, Xiang Yu quickly went to stand behind Miao Honglei.

Miao Honglei glanced at him irritably.

It was well-known that Xiang Yu liked to be late, and every time he had the same excuse: traffic jam.

For some reason, it seemed to be only him who got stuck in traffic, while others could travel unimpeded.

Seeing that everyone had finally arrived, Zhong Huashan then said in a loud voice, “As everyone knows, I’m currently selecting a bodyguard team leader.

This position is between Xiang Yu and Luo Lin.

Both of them have done well…”

Zhong Huashan rambled on for quite a bit, simply stating that the performances of both had been recognized by their brothers, and he could only choose one as the bodyguard team leader, and such.

These pleasantries might have been pointless, but they still had to be said.

After all, he was the big boss and a man who cared about his face.

After saying these things, Zhong Huashan finally turned to Luo Lin and Xiang Yu and said, “Now, the two of you, report on your respective tasks.

Although there’s still one day left, I feel there’s no need to wait anymore.”

Even though today was the sixth day, Luo Lin knew it would be impossible to eliminate Brother Eight.

As soon as Zhong Huashan finished speaking, Luo Lin quickly said, “Due to some minor mistakes, my task was not completed.”

Luo Lin spoke frankly, as if the failure to complete the task did not greatly affect him.

After all, Xiang Yu wouldn’t complete it either.

At worst, they would end up on equal footing.

The people around didn’t show any surprise after hearing this.

After all, Brother Eight and Tie Sanjiang were not ordinary people, not ones who could be killed just by saying so.

If dying were so easy, they probably would have died a thousand or even ten thousand times by now, not waiting for these two to do the job.

At that point, everyone’s gaze focused on Xiang Yu.

In their subconscious, they had already determined that Xiang Yu definitely hadn’t completed the task either…
