Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 909: This Stop is Imminent
Chapter 909: Chapter 909: This Stop is Imminent
Since it was decided to confront Wolf Eye directly, Xiang Yu immediately took action. He and Xiao Xuan went to Wolong Villa to find Zhang Dongxu.
By this time, Zhang Dongxu had fully recovered. He was outside flirting with a young nurse. When they saw Xiang Yu approaching, they quickly separated.
Zhang Dongxu led Xiang Yu into the room, and the young nurse poured some water.
"Brother Yu, is something up?" Zhang Dongxu asked.
"Just came to see if you’ve leveled up to being a dad yet," Xiang Yu said casually.
Zhang Dongxu gave an awkward smile. Recently, he had been idling around here, carefree, and had even gained some weight.
While the two were chatting, Wu Jing also walked in.
"Brother Yu, the crew has been ready and waiting. They’ve been so bored from not getting any field exercises that they’re practically dying of frustration," Wu Jing said with a grin.
Hearing Wu Jing’s words, Zhang Dongxu had an inkling of what was coming. He looked at Xiang Yu and asked, "You’re planning to move against Lin Chong, aren’t you?"
Xiang Yu nodded. "Exactly. As long as Lin Chong remains, he poses a huge threat to us. Instead of dragging this out day by day, it’s better to make the first move."
Zhang Dongxu nodded, a guilty look appearing on his face—after all, this whole matter started because of him.
If it weren’t for him, Xiang Yu wouldn’t have gotten on Wolf Eye’s bad side.
"Brother Yu, just tell me what to do," Zhang Dongxu said.
"With your knowledge of them, where do you think Lin Chong might be right now?" Xiang Yu asked, looking at Zhang Dongxu.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Dongxu replied, "I only know that Wolf Eye’s headquarters are in City No. 4, and they have many branches in the southern region of China. But as for where he might be right now, I can’t say for sure."
After all, Zhang Dongxu had previously only been in charge of a branch and wasn’t privy to the higher-ups’ affairs.
Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Wu Jing, let’s split our men into two teams. Dongxu and I will lead one team openly, while you and Xiao Xuan operate covertly. We’ll adjust our actions based on my further instructions. Now, let’s head to City No. 4."
Xiang Yu was the kind of person who acted immediately. After assigning tasks to everyone, he began to execute the plan.
The Tianlong Squad consisted of 100 people, but Xiang Yu only took 20 with him. Zhang Dongxu stayed by Xiang Yu’s side, silent the entire time.
Noticing Zhang Dongxu’s unease, Xiang Yu finally turned to him and asked, "Got something on your mind?"
It looked as though Zhang Dongxu wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, however, he admitted, "Brother Yu, this is all because of me. You didn’t have to go this far for me. You could’ve just handed me over."
Xiang Yu smirked and gave Zhang Dongxu a playful punch. "This is me handing you over."
He didn’t say anything more, then boarded the vehicle and set off without any delay.
On the way, Xiang Yu directly called Lin Chong.
"Have you finally figured it out?" Lin Chong chuckled arrogantly.
"I’m bringing Zhang Dongxu to City No. 4 today. I hope to see you there," Xiang Yu said bluntly.
"Alright, straightforward as always. I’ll be waiting for you there," Lin Chong replied boldly with a laugh.
"Brother Yu, Wolf Eye made its fortune smuggling arms. Even though there was a major crackdown recently and much of their weapon stock was destroyed, we can’t rule out the possibility that they still have hidden supplies," Zhang Dongxu said anxiously.
Having been a member of Wolf Eye, Zhang Dongxu was well aware of their inner workings. Although most firearms were supposedly destroyed during the crackdown, he couldn’t rule out the possibility of hidden caches.
Xiang Yu nodded. "Don’t worry; if they have weapons, so do we."
Zhang Dongxu: "..."
The crackdown a while ago had been stringent, forcing all factions to keep a low profile. Wolf Eye, once prominent in the arms trade, had faded into obscurity.
Since then, firearms had rarely been seen in public. Any gunfire would invariably trigger police investigations.
Because of this, even gang conflicts rarely involved firearms. If one side used guns, the other side would undoubtedly reciprocate, leading to both parties’ mutual destruction.
This actually worked to Xiang Yu’s advantage, as the Tianlong Squad members had undergone rigorous training.
Now, they were hardened warriors. Individually, each member might not be able to take down ten foes, but handling five shouldn’t be an issue.
Meanwhile, Lin Chong was idling in another city. When he received Xiang Yu’s call, he silently scoffed.
Just a moment ago, Xiang Yu had been arrogantly dismissive on the phone. Now he claimed to have delivered the person. Something was fishy.
Having spent so many years in the underworld, Lin Chong was well-versed in its dark underbelly. He wasn’t about to take Xiang Yu’s words at face value.
Since Xiang Yu claimed to have delivered the person, he was probably bringing reinforcements instead.
Lin Chong sneered inwardly, thinking, "Xiang Yu, you’re still too green if you think you can play me."
After hanging up, Lin Chong swiftly called several nearby branches, ordering them to send reinforcements to the headquarters immediately.
Lin Chong was no amateur, but he had a healthy respect for Xiang Yu. Facing a rival like him, he planned to go all out.
To Lin Chong, Xiang Yu might just be a Local Tyrant of one city. But after investigating Xiang Yu’s rise in City No. 2, Lin Chong found his rapid ascent to be near-legendary. Someone like that couldn’t be underestimated. novelbuddy.cσ๓
Beside Lin Chong stood a strategist named Zhuge Xiaoming, a man of exceptional intelligence and cunning.
Much of Lin Chong’s progress could be credited to Zhuge Xiaoming’s strategies.
Upon hearing that Lin Chong planned to return to headquarters to deal with Xiang Yu, Zhuge Xiaoming quickly advised, "Xiang Yu is a clever and capable opponent, difficult to handle. His offer to surrender the man must harbor some hidden agenda."
Lin Chong respected Zhuge Xiaoming’s expertise and nodded. "I’ve already considered that. I won’t underestimate him—I’ll give it my all."
Zhuge Xiaoming was thin and tall, with eyes that narrowed into slits. His distinctive appearance made quite an impression.
"It seems the opponent is well-prepared. My suggestion is for you to stay out of sight initially. Send the brothers to test their capabilities and assess their strength before making any decisions," Zhuge Xiaoming said.
Lin Chong already regarded Xiang Yu as a significant threat, which was why he had summoned reinforcements. However, hearing Zhuge Xiaoming urge such caution, he felt it might be unnecessary.
"I don’t think that’s necessary. If word got out that I was hesitating and afraid to face Xiang Yu, how could I maintain my reputation in the underworld?" Lin Chong protested.
But Zhuge Xiaoming wasn’t offended. He shook his head and said, "Reputation is worthless if you lose your life. When your life is at stake, reputation is nothing but a joke. As long as we can take down Xiang Yu and his men, no matter what tactics we employ, it’s justified. Victory justifies everything—that’s the eternal rule."
Lin Chong mulled over that for a long time before finally nodding. "Alright, I’ll follow the strategist’s advice..."
