Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 788: Completely Disappointed in Men

Zhou Zhengming looked at Wu Yue with some puzzlement, and then at Xiang Yu, as if he had come to some realization, then he simply smiled and walked away.

"Let’s go, let’s head back as well," Tie Zhuzi said in a forthright manner.

After he spoke, he realized the atmosphere at the scene was a bit off; it was very quiet, and nobody was speaking.

Feng Lan felt unease and turned to Wu Yue, saying, "Sister Wu Yue, since they saved you, you should trust them, they really aren’t bad people."

At that moment, Xiang Yu stepped forward, then chuckled, "I saved your life today; you aren’t still planning to lock us up, are you?"

Wu Yue looked at Xiang Yu, then snorted coldly before turning to walk away. Seeing this, the others also dispersed.

Feng Lan looked at Xiang Yu happily, "Sister Wu Yue has already agreed to let you stay."

Clearly, Feng Lan was sincerely joyful.

"Let’s go," Xiang Yu said, then took the lead in walking ahead.

That night, Wu Yue did not appear again, but arranged for someone to guide Xiang Yu and the two others to their accommodations.

The next day, while they were still sleeping, they heard the loud sound of machinery outside and got up, no longer feeling sleepy.

Standing on the upper floor and looking into the distance, they could see the machines outside continuously operating. Even though this was the residential area, the annoying noise was still audible.

Standing by the window, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but reflect. Though the profits from the mining area were high, the site was accompanied by risks and a harsh environment. Subjecting a woman to live in such an environment over the long term was indeed torturous.

Just as Xiang Yu and the others had finished freshening up, someone knocked and then walked in.

"Our boss wants to meet you," the person said.

Xiang Yu followed the person to Wu Yue’s office and sat down boldly on the sofa.

"Tell me, how much money do you want?" Only the four of them were in the room, and Wu Yue asked directly.

"One hundred billion," Xiang Yu casually said.

Wu Yue’s expression turned cold upon hearing this; Xiang Yu was clearly joking around here.

"Don’t overstep; just because you saved my life doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want here. State your price, how much money will it take for you to leave Feng Lan alone?" Wu Yue asked Xiang Yu, knowing he was the leader of the group.

"I said one hundred billion; if you don’t have that much, let’s not talk about money. Not everyone is as fond of money as you are," Xiang Yu said.

"Brother Yu, I think that’s a bit much; I think one billion should be enough for us," Tie Zhuzi quickly said.

Xiang Yu immediately glared at Tie Zhuzi, who then hurriedly sat down and kept quiet.

"If you don’t want money, then why stay with Feng Lan? There are plenty of beautiful women out there; you can go find any of them. There’s no need to risk your lives here following her," Wu Yue said, frowning at Xiang Yu.

"Think what you like, I’ve told you I’m here to help. If you don’t trust me, I can leave right now. But don’t endanger Feng Lan. She gave up everything in City Three to come here, hoping for your support," Xiang Yu seriously told Wu Yue at that moment.

"Help us?" Wu Yue sneered, a hint of desolation in her eyes. Perhaps she had already resigned herself to fate.

Just then, the door to the room suddenly swung open, and a fleeting figure hurried in—it was Feng Lan. She had woken up early, worried about the danger Xiang Yu faced, and had rushed over, only to find that Xiang Yu and the others were not there, so she then hurried to ask Wu Yue.

Being somewhat anxious, she had neglected to knock on the door, and was surprised to find Xiang Yu and two others here; this reassured her. However, seeing their serious expressions made her tense again.

"Wu Yue, do you still not trust them?" Feng Lan said, somewhat disappointed.

Wu Yue gestured with her hand signaling Feng Lan to stop talking, then she stood up and walked towards the door, stopping at its edge before turning around and saying to Feng Lan, "Little Lan, give it up. We’re the abandoned ones."

After Wu Yue spoke, she then closed the door and left.

Upon hearing Wu Yue’s words, Feng Lan felt somewhat heartbroken. She also suspected that she was one of the abandoned, but she had never ceased pursuing the truth. Even during her time with the Evil God, what she thought of most was the day she would clear her name of the crime of desertion.

She had come to Wu Yue excitedly, hoping to uncover the truth together. But seeing Wu Yue’s dismissive attitude quenched the fiery passion in her heart.

Feng Lan sat there, feeling utterly lost and not knowing what to do.

"Don’t be sad. The reason Wu Yue is like this is that she’s very irritated right now and simply doesn’t have the energy to think about these things. Once we resolve the situation with Zhou Zhengming, she’ll naturally consider these matters," Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s radiant smile, Feng Lan nodded. She couldn’t help but thank Xiang Yu in her heart; he was the pillar of her heart. Without Xiang Yu, she really didn’t know what she would do.

"So, what do we do now?" Feng Lan asked Xiang Yu.

"Eliminate Zhou Zhengming," Xiang Yu responded decisively.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Feng Lan’s eyes. Wu Yue had told her before that Zhou Zhengming was extremely cautious. Wu Yue had tried many methods, none of which had succeeded in eliminating Zhou Zhengming. Instead, his power had only grown larger.

Xiang Yu now spoke of eliminating Zhou Zhengming, and who knew when that could happen. Although she had faith in Xiang Yu, his forces were not here at the moment.

If they could mobilize the brothers from the Sky Dragon Squad, they could flatten the opponent overnight. But there was still Wu Yue to consider.

"Don’t worry, I have my ways. Just convince Wu Yue, and within ten days, I promise I’ll eliminate Zhou Zhengming," Xiang Yu proclaimed confidently.

Feng Lan looked at Xiang Yu worriedly and said, "You three mustn’t take risks. Zhou Zhengming is not easy to deal with."

"You should go see Wu Yue. Once you have convinced her, everything else will be easier," Xiang Yu replied.

Feng Lan didn’t know where Xiang Yu’s confidence came from, but she chose to believe in him anyway. After all, if Xiang Yu could deal with Liu Lianyu of the Evil God, then Zhou Zhengming was naturally not a problem.

Feng Lan nodded, then walked out. She found Wu Yue outside, who was delicately smoking a thin cigarette, her eyes filled with complexity.

"Wu Yue, Xiang Yu just said that he will eliminate Zhou Zhengming within ten days. I hope you can trust him then," Feng Lan stated, standing beside Wu Yue.

Watching Wu Yue smoking, Feng Lan felt heartache. She knew Wu Yue wasn’t a smoker before; perhaps this was a way to alleviate the stress in her heart.

"Little Lan, remember what I told you before: never trust a man’s words. They only use sweet talk to deceive you. Does he really think he can eliminate Zhou Zhengming in ten days? Humph, I think he’s just boasting. I’ve dealt with Zhou Zhengming for a year and know what kind of person he is," Wu Yue said, inhaling deeply from her cigarette.

"If they really manage to eliminate Zhou Zhengming within ten days, will you believe him then?" Feng Lan asked hopefully...
