Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 68 - I am willing to follow you to the death

68: Chapter 68 I am willing to follow you to the death

68 -68 I am willing to follow you to the death

At noon, Xiang Yu had Fang Rong treat him to a meal without much grace.

Fang Rong did not want Xiang Yu to leave, but knowing that he had his own matters to deal with, she let him go.

By the time Xiang Yu returned to logistics, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

Sitting in his own office and listening to the rumbling noise of trucks outside, he felt a wave of irritability.

At this moment, Shi Jian and Tie Zhuzi appeared, knocking on the door before walking in, followed by a man.

This man was of average height, slim, but with particularly bright eyes.

He was the thin man Xiang Yu had seen at the Underground Boxing Ring.

“Xiang Yu, guess who’s here?” Shi Jian said as he took a seat on the couch.

The thin man stepped in front of Xiang Yu, his eyes full of gratitude.

The day before yesterday, when Xiang Yu and the others left suddenly, he hadn’t had the chance to say thank you.

That night, he had taken the money to the hospital, but the doctors had already told him that his mother was beyond saving, and no amount of money could bring her back.

He had spent the night in agony, hating himself, his inability, hating society for its cruelty.

He wanted to exact revenge, to kill the doctors at the hospital.

But in the end, reason triumphed over madness.

He knew that the doctors there were innocent and were just doing their job according to hospital regulations.

Nobody had it easy.

With the money in hand, he began to feel lost.

He didn’t know Xiang Yu, yet he had so casually given him so much money.

Though it had not saved his mother, this kindness was something he felt compelled to repay.

Thinking of this, he felt that his life still had purpose.

Whilst he did not understand Xiang Yu, his resolve was set; he had to follow him.

He had met Xiang Yu at the Underground Boxing Ring and believed that Xiang Yu would return there, so he had waited.

After a whole day, when he finally saw Shi Jian and another pass by, he approached them.

“What’s your name?” Xiang Yu asked with a smile.

His impression of the man was not bad; how bad could someone who was willing to fight in illegal boxing matches for his mother be?

“I’m called Wu Jing.” The thin man had a blank expression.

“I want to follow you,” he said directly.

“Why do you want to follow me?” asked Xiang Yu.

“No reason, I just want to follow you,” Wu Jing replied.

He didn’t understand Xiang Yu and didn’t intend to.

No matter who Xiang Yu was or what he did, Wu Jing was set on following him, even if it meant murder or arson.

“How is your mother?” Xiang Yu suddenly asked.

Caught off guard by the question, Wu Jing was surprised that Xiang Yu still remembered.

His face saddened, but he did not speak.

“You can follow me, but I must know about you,” Xiang Yu said.

Although he believed Wu Jing was not there to harm him, it was still better to be safe.

He preferred straightforward dealings rather than having to investigate someone’s background, which would be troublesome; he’d rather not bother.

After a moment of consideration, Wu Jing nodded and recounted his family’s situation.

Upon hearing that his mother had passed away, Xiang Yu and the others did not probe further on that topic.

“You were a soldier, a sniper?” Xiang Yu suddenly asked.

Xiang Yu’s words surprised everyone present, especially Wu Jing, who wondered if Xiang Yu had met him during his time in the military.

Shi Jian and the other thought Xiang Yu must have known this man from before; otherwise, why would he have so casually given away hundreds of thousands of yuan?

“Have you also been a soldier, have you seen me before?” asked Wu Jing, confused.

“No, I guessed,” Xiang Yu said, sure of his conclusion upon seeing Wu Jing’s expression.

It’s easy to identify a former soldier, but to discern that someone was a sniper at first glance is not something ordinary people could do.

Xiang Yu, during his time with the “Wild Wolf” squad, had undergone various specialized training and knew the characteristics of certain individuals.

“Definitely lying, he must have seen him before,” Shi Jian muttered to Tie Zhuzi, who just chuckled and did not reply.

Xiang Yu stood up and stretched, “You can join us, but before that, you need to understand something.

Our line of work is dangerous, and one careless move can cost you your life.”

Wu Jing, upon hearing that Xiang Yu had agreed, nodded fervently.

By choosing to follow Xiang Yu unconditionally, he had prepared for all possibilities.

Observing Wu Jing’s resolute gaze, Xiang Yu knew he had gained another reliable brother.

“Come, take a seat.

Shi Jian, let’s hear what you’ve investigated.”

Shi Jian glanced at Xiang Yu and then at Wu Jing.

“Now that Wu Jing is one of our brothers, just say what you have to say,” Xiang Yu said, aware of his hesitation.

Wu Jing felt touched, not expecting such rapid acceptance from Xiang Yu.

His choice felt all the more right.

Shi Jian nodded and began, “I’ve looked into the people preparing to fight today.

There is one who deserves special attention.

His name is Zhang Xin, nicknamed ‘Cobra,’ a crafty and vicious man known for his ruthlessness.

He’s an insider at the boxing gym, with skills second only to the owner, Luo Li.

He rarely shows up ordinarily, and even less so recently has been out of the boxing scene, so it’s unexpected for him to turn up today,” Shi Jian explained.

“Cobra?” Wu Jing interjected abruptly.

“Could it be the same person who had a skirmish with our troops at the border a few years ago?”

“Do you know him?” Xiang Yu asked.

Wu Jing nodded, “Cobra used to be a small-time drug trafficker.

When I was on a mission at the border, I heard of him.

He’s extremely vicious, a cold-blooded killer.

Interpol issued a warrant for him, but he was never caught.

To think he would show up here.”

Xiang Yu nodded, already formulating a plan in his head.

It seemed Yan Bin had gone to great lengths to deal with him.

“Do we have any video footage of him?” Xiang Yu asked.

“There should be photos of him online, but no videos,” Wu Jing replied.

Xiang Yu nodded, his mind made up.

For such a ruthless character, he would not allow him to live past the next day.

Now, he felt grateful to Yan Bin for providing such an excellent stage, attracting these dangerous characters, allowing him to eliminate them easily.

“By the way, Shi Jian, didn’t we take over Qian Duoduo’s properties?

This place is too noisy, let’s find somewhere quieter,” said Xiang Yu.

“What?

Are you talking about Qian Meiduo?” Wu Jing was again taken aback.

When he had been penniless, he had also sought out Qian Meiduo.

Unable to offer anything valuable as collateral, Qian Meiduo had tried to recruit him, but he had refused.

Wu Jing knew all too well what kind of person she was.

He hadn’t heard from her recently, so the news was a surprise.

“Qian Duoduo has been dealt with by us, this information is highly confidential, and you must not divulge it,” Xiang Yu said, patting his shoulder.

He spoke indifferently, as if eliminating Qian Meiduo was nothing noteworthy, just like having a meal was absolutely no different…
