Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 493: Xiang Yu Becomes a Bodyguard

Xiang Yu stood beneath Zhong Huashan’s villa, vaguely able to make out the silhouettes of two people above through the glass.

At first, Xiang Yu thought it was Zhong Qin in his room, but something seemed off as soon after, a woman’s discordant screams emanated from within.

Since it wasn’t Zhong Qin, Xiang Yu didn’t give it much thought and then instructed Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan to go rest in a room upstairs, while he entered Zhong Huashan’s villa.

Xiang Yu was Zhong Huashan’s personal bodyguard, and he alone had the privilege to move freely in and out of Zhong Huashan’s villa.

Xiang Yu sat on the sofa on the first floor, casually watching the news on TV. The door upstairs must have been left open, as the sounds were quite clear.

Xiang Yu felt that the woman’s voice was somewhat familiar, but he didn’t think much of it.

The screams lasted for about ten minutes before stopping, and after waiting another ten minutes, a figure appeared at the railing on the second floor.

The person was clad in a loose-fitting garment, somewhat resembling a bathrobe. With a voluptuous figure, ample curves, and long hair, she was quite enchanting.

Xiang Yu looked up at her, and she looked down at him. Their gazes met, both filled with complexity.

It seemed Xiang Yu had realized something and quickly lowered his head, pretending he knew nothing. The person was none other than Mo Lan, the team leader under Zhong Huashan.

At that moment, Xiang Yu felt that the relationship between the two might be complicated, but he hadn’t expected it to be this kind of relationship. He wondered if Zhong Qin knew about it.

Mo Lan, around thirty years old and ten years younger than Zhong Huashan, was in a society where age was no obstacle; money and power were what mattered. Whether it was ten years or even a hundred, it wasn’t a problem—as long as one could live to a hundred and still be interested in "that", they’d be truly immortal.

Xiang Yu didn’t look at her, yet she stood in front of him.

With no other choice, Xiang Yu looked up at her. Mo Lan had beautiful skin, fair with a hint of rosiness, and her bright, expressive eyes were captivating.

Xiang Yu admitted to himself that he would be unable to resist if Mo Lan were to try to seduce him.

"It’s not what you think," Mo Lan suddenly said.

Xiang Yu was somewhat baffled; he hadn’t spoken yet, and she’d come out with this unexpected remark. Xiang Yu merely smiled and said nothing, unsure of what to say.

There was no change in Mo Lan’s expression, and then she turned and walked away.

Watching her back, Xiang Yu suddenly felt that this woman’s story was no simple tale. For a woman to climb to this position solely based on her abilities spoke volumes about her distinction.

Not long after Mo Lan left, Zhong Huashan appeared at the second-floor railing in a silk robe, a cigarette between his fingers.

When he saw Xiang Yu, he was momentarily stunned before smiling, "When did you arrive?"

"Just now," Xiang Yu responded.

Zhong Huashan nodded and continued leisurely smoking up above without speaking further. By now, he had fully accepted Xiang Yu as his own bodyguard, and Xiang Yu’s presence in the villa was taken for granted.

Around midnight, Zhong Huashan finally left to rest elsewhere. Throughout, he had exchanged only a single sentence with Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu casually washed up and then found a room on the first floor to rest.

The next morning, Xiang Yu got up early and exercised. Now as the captain of Zhong Huashan’s bodyguard team, he could no longer afford to sleep in.

Xiang Yu ran two laps around the manor, greeting many people along the way. When he returned from his workout, Zhong Huashan was sitting there talking to Ding Yongwei.

After entering, Xiang Yu didn’t pay attention to the two men and sat on a sofa at a distance. Ding Yongwei only glanced at Xiang Yu, not saying anything.

Ding Yongwei talked for a while then stood up and left after finishing breakfast. At this time, Zhong Huashan called Xiang Yu over and said, "Last night, two of our brothers were detained by someone. You take some men and bring them back."

"Who’s so bold?" Xiang Yu hastily asked.

In the vicinity, aside from Bage and Tie Sanjiang, Xiang Yu had never heard of any other forces daring to contend with Zhong Huashan.

"Ding Yongwei will tell you what happened. You are representing me, Zhong Huashan, when you go out there. Don’t disgrace me," Zhong Huashan said.

Xiang Yu nodded and said rest assured, then prepared to find Ding Yongwei. Just then, Zhong Huashan suddenly stopped Xiang Yu, "You and Yongwei are both my good brothers. Don’t be at odds."

Xiang Yu acknowledged and then walked out. He and Ding Yongwei were now sworn enemies; there was no way they could get along.

As for Zhong Huashan, he was the boss; his words were just a formality. In reality, he actually hoped for Xiang Yu and Ding Yongwei to have a falling out. If the two were too close, that’s what would truly unsettle him.

Since it was a task assigned by Zhong Huashan, Xiang Yu naturally intended to do it well. He arrived in front of Ding Yongwei’s villa, where he was stopped by two people.

"My big brother is resting; please come back later," one of them stopped Xiang Yu and said.

"Call him out; I have something to discuss with him," Xiang Yu stated firmly to the man.

"I’m sorry, big brother has given orders," the man replied impartially.

"Ding Yongwei, come out," Xiang Yu knew the man had no choice, so he took two steps back and shouted towards the second floor.

He knew Ding Yongwei had just returned and was definitely hiding inside the house waiting for him.

Xiang Yu had shouted, but Ding Yongwei did not appear. Meanwhile, the underlings around all looked over. They all knew about the discord between Xiang Yu and Ding Yongwei, and Xiang Yu’s posture seemed like he was about to create a scene.

"If you don’t come out, I’m going to barge in," Xiang Yu shouted.

The two standing by the door heard Xiang Yu threaten to rush in and grew a bit tense, on guard. Just then, Ding Yongwei appeared by a second-floor window, looking down at Xiang Yu with a taunting expression.

"Captain Xiang, what’s all this commotion about so early in the morning? Is the wound on your back healed?" Ding Yongwei taunted.

Xiang Yu, not bothering to listen to his nonsense, simply said, "Hurry up and come down, otherwise, I’m coming up."

After Xiang Yu spoke, he walked straight inside; Ding Yongwei also coldly chuckled and signaled his men to let Xiang Yu in.

Xiang Yu walked into the first-floor hall, then unceremoniously sat on the sofa with his feet propped up on the coffee table in front. He turned to one of the men standing by the door and said, "Kid, pour me a cup of tea."

Although the man was Ding Yongwei’s subordinate, he didn’t dare offend Xiang Yu. After all, Xiang Yu was the captain of the boss’s bodyguard team. Ding Yongwei might face off against him, but they could only obey.

At this time, Ding Yongwei came down leisurely from upstairs. Seeing Xiang Yu’s domineering posture, he was immediately irritated.

"Put your feet down," Ding Yongwei shouted; he often ate at that table, after all.

"Why be so petty," Xiang Yu said indifferently, then took the tea poured by the man.

"Who allowed you to make tea for him? Go stand over there," Ding Yongwei angrily said to the man.

The underling, scared, quickly ran off, while Ding Yongwei looked at Xiang Yu with a fierce expression, "Get to the point if you have something to say."

"I should be the one asking that question; what do you want?" Xiang Yu, sitting there brazenly, replied...
