Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 794: The Inner Struggle
Chapter 794: Chapter 794: The Inner Struggle
Xiang Yu and his two companions lay there resting for quite a while, exhausted as if they had just been through a mortal combat.
Although the three of them were merely spectators, it was enough to deplete their energy.
"She’s truly a seductress. No way Xiang Yu, after this is over, I’ve got to come back here," Tie Zhuzi fantasized as he lay there.
"That depends on your own abilities," Xiang Yu replied, then got up.
It was now approaching nine in the evening, and Zhou Zhengming was due to return soon. The three of them carefully made their way to the second floor and hid themselves.
Around nine-thirty, the sound of screeching brakes suddenly came from outside, and by the sound of it, not just from one vehicle.
"What’s going on?" Xiang Yu got serious, since theoretically, it should have been only Zhou Zhengming arriving.
Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan also sensed something was off and looked towards Xiang Yu, waiting for his orders.
"Adapt accordingly," Xiang Yu whispered.
It was only now that Tie Zhuzi remembered what Xiang Yu had said earlier when he wanted to know the plan for tonight. Xiang Yu had casually mentioned adapting accordingly, and it seemed that was indeed the case.
The three hid in a child’s room, only hearing numerous footsteps below.
"You all wait here; I’ll be down in a moment," Zhou Zhengming said, then hastened upstairs.
Arriving upstairs, he went straight into the young woman’s room.
"Baby, did you miss me?" Zhou Zhengming pounced on her.
"Don’t rush; go take a shower first; you’re all sweaty," the young woman pushed Zhengming away.
Only then did Zhengming get up and run to the bathroom.
The young woman cast a mournful glance towards the bathroom, evidently not pleased, but all she did was sigh and then collapsed onto the bed. Yet, she was consoled by the thought that after tonight and a few more days, her lover would whisk her away to freedom, forever escaping all this.
"Bro Xiang Yu, should we just rush in now and finish him off?" Tie Zhuzi, barely able to restrain himself, said in another room.
Xiang Yu didn’t overthink it. Although there were six or seven people below, it didn’t affect their actions at all.
"Let’s go," Xiang Yu said and was the first to head out.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zhengming was in the bathroom cheerfully humming a tune. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Baby, I’m taking you away today. Just wait a bit, and I’ll get you out of here. You’ve been wronged, staying here alone for the past two years," Zhou Zhengming called out from inside.
Initially, the young woman thought today would be the last, and she would be able to leave this place forever after tonight, but now here he was, saying he would take her away, which to her was nothing but a nightmare.
"I’m fine here, I don’t want to leave," the young woman hurriedly said.
"What’s so good about staying here? I only visit once a week, you must be terribly lonely. Once I take you away tonight, we can be together every day," Zhou Zhengming said with excitement.
Just as the young woman was about to speak, the door to the room suddenly opened. Xiang Yu walked in softly and quietly.
"Ah..." the young woman exclaimed but quickly covered her mouth.
Xiang Yu was all smiles and made a shushing gesture by his lips.
"I’m a police officer; keep quiet," Xiang Yu silently mouthed.
The young woman could tell what Xiang Yu was articulating. Despite being nervous, she kept quiet, feeling a surge of relief. She hoped Zhou Zhengming would forever leave her world, not wanting to live under his tyranny anymore.
She knew Zhou Zhengming was up to no good outside and had definitely been involved in many illegal activities. Now that the police were here to capture him made sense; she was leaving in a few days anyway.
"What’s wrong, baby? Why did you scream?" Zhou Zhengming, naked, opened the bathroom door and asked.
"Hello," Xiang Yu stood aside and smiled politely.
Zhou Zhengming stood frozen, unable to comprehend the situation. Could he have walked into the wrong place, or had he somehow been teleported?
He looked around his room from all angles. No mistake, this was his villa, and his beauty was still lying on the bed.
A second of nothingness in Zhengming’s mind was followed by sudden realization. He had seen Xiang Yu and the other two the night before last when his brother had fought with them.
Just as he began to shout, Tie Zhuzi stepped forward swiftly and hit Zhengming on the head with a stick.
Zhengming didn’t get a word out before collapsing unconscious to the floor. The young woman, sitting in shock on the bed and covering her mouth, clearly looked terrified.
"Don’t be afraid; we are not good people," Xiang Yu said with all the decorum of a gentleman, though his eyes had scanned her body several times, undeniably admiring her beauty.
"Bro, you misspoke, we aren’t bad people," Xiao Xuan quickly corrected from the side.
Xiang Yu just smiled nonchalantly, then sat down on the bed without paying any heed to Zhengming lying on the ground. The young woman, terrified, immediately curled up on the bed and covered herself with a blanket.
"You’re a good woman; I don’t want to hurt you. Just look at this for yourself," Xiang Yu concluded, pulling out his mobile phone and showing her a video from last night’s vehicular incident.
The young woman watched with her mouth agape in disbelief.
"Impossible, he’s not that kind of person. You must be lying to me. We were supposed to leave here in three days... it can’t be..." the young woman began shouting uncontrollably, shaking her head.
Xiang Yu had done what he felt necessary; whether she believed it or not was out of his hands. He was involved in this matter out of mere curiosity.
Seeing the young woman break down in tears, Tie Zhuzi said empathetically, "I caught him myself last night. He even said you were second-hand and that he’s just playing with you."
After Tie Zhuzi finished speaking, the young woman collapsed into tears on the bed. The hopes she had built were now shattered.
"What should I do?" she said in despair.
Tie Zhuzi felt sorry for her and reassured her by thumping his chest, "Don’t be sad, you’re so beautiful that my brother Xiang Yu will definitely take you in."
Xiang Yu, Xiao Xuan: "..."
Realizing he might have misspoken, Tie Zhuzi scratched his head and added, "I mean, you’re beautiful. No, I mean my brother Xiang Yu is a great guy.
The more anxious Tie Zhuzi got, the less he was able to express himself clearly, and the young woman just sat on the bed staring seriously at Tie Zhuzi.
Finally, Tie Zhuzi stopped talking and looked towards Xiang Yu, "Brother Xiang Yu, it’s your call. What should we do?"
