Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 789: All Men Are Big Liars

Wu Yue’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, a disdain for Xiang Yu and his team. The audacity of the other side to claim they could eliminate Zhou Zhengming within ten days was simply laughable.

Let alone three people, even thirty people couldn’t possibly achieve that.

"No problem, as long as they take out Zhou Zhengming within ten days, not only will I believe in them, I’ll even follow them," Wu Yue said, then flicked his cigarette butt onto the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

Feng Lan then cheered up and wrapped her arms around Wu Yue’s arm, saying, "It’s a deal, and you better not regret it later."

Wu Yue shook his head with a smile, "How do I feel like you’re siding with outsiders? Aren’t we sisters anymore?"

"Of course we are, you are my best sister," cooed Feng Lan.

Watching the two of them so affectionate, it was hard to imagine that Feng Lan once had been the boss of the Evil God in The Dark Department. Indeed, people are driven by circumstances, and without being forced, who would want to stay in such a dark place?

Xiang Yu was sitting in Wu Yue’s office and made a call to Shi Jian.

Shi Jian was surprised to hear that Xiang Yu was at Wu Yue’s place and was at a loss for words. He hadn’t been in contact with Xiang Yu for a while, and this news was explosive.

"What are you doing there? Have you been caught?" Shi Jian asked quietly.

Currently, on the surface, Shi Jian, Wu Yue, and Zhou Zhengming were the three heavyweights of the city. Shi Jian, not being involved in the city’s mining affairs, had little to do with the other two.

Suddenly hearing that Xiang Yu was with Wu Yue was indeed surprising.

"Almost, I’m basically captured, hurry up and come save us," Xiang Yu said offhandedly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian tensed up, but immediately responded with irritation, "Xiang Yu, now is not the time for jokes. What is really going on with you all?"

Seeing that Shi Jian was genuinely worried, Xiang Yu chuckled and said, "I have something that needs your investigation. Find out Zhou Zhengming’s daily routine."

"Why does it always come back to Zhou Zhengming? What exactly are you doing?" Shi Jian asked, noticeably concerned.

"Some things have come up," replied Xiang Yu simply.

The two chatted randomly for a while, and eventually, Shi Jian was reassured about one thing: Xiang Yu was not in any danger and seemed to be a guest at Wu Yue’s place.

Having learned this information, he felt reassured. However, he did not know whether he should share this news with Lan Tingting, who often called him to inquire about Xiang Yu.

He sat there for a long time thinking, but ultimately decided not to tell her. Shi Jian delegated the task assigned by Xiang Yu and now he had to start paying attention to Wu Yue and Zhou Zhengming, as Xiang Yu was there.

Shi Jian was an intelligence expert; no matter how secretive the task, it could be unearthed if given to him. This was why Xiang Yu was so confident in saying that they could solve the problem within ten days.

After arranging all these, Xiang Yu began walking around the mountain with Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan. Since there wasn’t much else to do, they simply enjoyed the scenery around them.

"Brother, that guy has been following us the whole time, should we take him out?" Xiao Xuan whispered. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Xiang Yu was standing on a rock, looking into the distance with a beaming smile, "It’s fine, let them follow. There seems to be a small waterfall over there, come on, let’s go take a look."

As Xiang Yu spoke, he walked towards the distance, surrounded by a beautiful environment. If it weren’t for the noise in the distance, this place would have been a feng shui treasure.

"Building a villa here would be nice," Xiang Yu remarked.

He was just making a casual comment; such a thing was practically impossible. The area was rich in minerals. It was manageable now, but Xiang Yu knew that these minerals would eventually be taken over by the state sooner or later.

The three of them stayed with Wu Yue for five days, going out early and coming back late every day, which seemed very busy. Feng Lan had tried to find Xiang Yu several times, but his room was always empty.

Although Feng Lan was somewhat worried, she felt relieved remembering the ten days Xiang Yu had mentioned. She walked into Wu Yue’s office and poured herself a glass of water uninvited.

"Do you know what your prince charming has been up to these days?" Wu Yue said from his chair, sounding annoyed.

"He is probably investigating Zhou Zhengming’s affairs. I know Xiang Yu, he wouldn’t start something he wasn’t sure of. Since he said he could complete it within ten days, he definitely can," Feng Lan confidently said.

"Hmph, see for yourself. Lan Lan, I told you that you can’t trust men’s words, they are all liars, and they only know how to deceive women," Wu Yue said, then threw a thick stack of photos on the table.

Feng Lan picked them up and looked at them, each marked with a time. There was a photo every ten minutes, clearly recording everything Xiang Yu and his companions had done over the past five days.

As Feng Lan looked through the photos, curiosity overwhelmed her other emotions. When she saw the photos of Xiang Yu and the others completely undressed and cooling off under the waterfall, her face involuntarily turned red.

Wu Yue saw this small gesture and felt a mix of frustration and disappointment. Finally, she sighed and began to tell her own story.

"Eight years ago, I met a man; he was outstanding..."

As Feng Lan heard Wu Yue start to speak about her past, she put down the photos to listen. Wu Yue was her former captain, she knew Wu Yue had always looked after them like a big sister, but she had never discussed her past before.

It turned out that eight years ago, Wu Yue had met a young man and started dating him. Wu Yue was deeply invested, giving him her all and even swearing vows of living and dying together.

They had a happy year together until the man suddenly declared he didn’t love her anymore. Wu Yue first thought it was a joke, but eventually, the man really did leave her, disappearing completely as if vanishing into thin air.

He left Wu Yue just a short message, saying he had fallen in love with someone else and no longer wanted to see her.

Wu Yue began searching for him frantically and used various channels to try to get any information, but all efforts were in vain. This life persisted for two years, and finally, Wu Yue gave up. At the same time, she started to hate men.

She wanted to become stronger and not rely on others, so she joined the military two years later. She had never shared this experience with anyone; seeing how infatuated Feng Lan was, Wu Yue felt she had to disclose her own story, hoping Feng Lan wouldn’t fall too deeply.

Feng Lan listened with tearful eyes, nearly crying.

"Where did he go?" Feng Lan asked sadly.

Wu Yue sighed, shook her head in disappointment, and said, "I’ve given up. If one day I see him, I will kill him myself."

Seeing Wu Yue’s demeanor, Feng Lan also felt uneasy. She knew that despite her words, Wu Yue still loved the man. If what Wu Yue said was true, Feng Lan couldn’t believe that he just left; there must have been something that happened back then...
