Urban Super Soldier King
Chapter 1969 - 2070: The Pressure in Xiang Yu’s Heart
Sun City is developing rapidly, and at this peak of development, Xiang Yu called a halt to many ongoing projects.
The work crews that had stopped were then reassigned to the construction of the base.
Long Wu was puzzled and specifically sought out Xiang Yu regarding this matter.
"Why stop? If this phase is completed, Sun City’s economy will take another step forward." Long Wu said anxiously.
Now is the golden period for development, and time is the most precious asset.
"The base construction needs manpower, so they’re sent over to get the base up and running first." Xiang Yu said with a smile.
"No, without economic development, what’s the point of building a base? Hurry and get the people back." Long Wu said.
"Two months, I’ll definitely return everyone to you after two months." Xiang Yu said.
Long Wu knew Xiang Yu was definitely hiding something from her, but she didn’t press further.
"Two months at most, and then I need to pull the people back." Long Wu said.
"Of course, in two months I’ll have all the construction crews focused on development again." Xiang Yu assured.
Long Wu sighed and said, "Taking a break might be good; after all, rapid development isn’t necessarily a good thing, there are still many things that aren’t perfect."
"Let’s quickly lay the foundation during this time and stabilize the current market, then speed up in two months." Xiang Yu said.
Long Wu nodded, just about to say something when Xi’er hurriedly ran over.
"Chief, why has the construction of the agricultural paddy fields stopped? They’re about to be needed!" Xi’er said as she walked in.
Seeing Long Wu there too, Xi’er quickly greeted her with a smile.
"He’s got all the work crews on base construction, being all secretive about it, don’t know what he’s doing." Long Wu said.
Xi’er wanted to say something more, but Long Wu pulled her out. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"What’s really going on?" Xi’er asked, puzzled, looking at Long Wu.
Long Wu looked ahead and sighed, "Sun City is definitely facing danger, otherwise he wouldn’t act this way; let’s just pause for now."
"What kind of danger?" Xi’er quickly asked.
Long Wu shook her head, "I don’t know either, since he didn’t say, surely he doesn’t want us to worry. I suspect this is a hurdle for Sun City; if we can get through it, the future is bright, if not, Sun City will revert to its original state."
Upon hearing this, Xi’er’s expression changed; Sun City used to be a slum, living in darkness every day.
Recalling the past, she felt a little scared and quickly nodded, "What can I do?"
"What we need to do is not disrupt his thinking, not become an obstacle to him, just silently support him." Long Wu said.
Xi’er quickly nodded, looking at Long Wu with some envy; perhaps only she could understand Xiang Yu so well.
Xiang Yu indeed was under a lot of pressure, his task was no longer as simple as what Number One had given him.
He was carrying the destiny of all Sun City’s people.
"Brother Yu, the City Guard Army and the brothers of the Self-Defense Force are all prepared." Tie Zhuzi stood beside Xiang Yu and said.
Xiang Yu sat on the sofa, looking a bit tired, and nodded; now every step he took had to be cautious, it involved the lives of thousands.
"You take them to the base for a look around, familiarize them with the environment, and arrange the surrounding defenses." Xiang Yu said.
Tie Zhuzi nodded, turned to leave but stopped and said, "Brother Yu, don’t stress too much, we’ve come from being small-time gangsters, haven’t we overcome every difficulty along the way? This time won’t stop us either, we can go to our haven in Little Pakistan."
Tie Zhuzi rarely saw Xiang Yu in this state, if not for great pressure, Xiang Yu wouldn’t show it in front of him.
Xiang Yu patted Tie Zhuzi’s leg, signaling him to go quickly, while he sat quietly on the sofa.
Before, Xiang Yu had nothing, just needed to take care of Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi, but now it’s different, he has to be responsible for the entire city.
People often said those without shoes feared nothing, but now Xiang Yu had put on shoes, he had more concerns.
This life continued for a month, Xiang Yu’s daily work revolving around Sun City.
He had to ensure there were no oversights.
Although Sun City had almost developed, the internal structures remained dated, lacking defensive facilities, if a large force truly attacked, Xiang Yu didn’t have confidence to hold out, only retreat to Lieyun City.
Now he was glad to have brought Jackson over, with the base he built perhaps they’d hold.
Time was slipping by, getting closer to the military parade in China.
That noon, while driving around Sun City, Xiang Yu’s phone rang, it was Wang Qian calling.
"What’s up?" Xiang Yu asked directly.
"Come to my base, Wolf King wants to see you." Wang Qian said seriously.
"Wolf King? He’s here?" Xiang Yu asked.
"Yes, come over now." Wang Qian finished speaking and directly hung up the phone.
Xiang Yu didn’t think much, driving straight to Wolf Fang’s base. It was a smooth drive, Xiang Yu drove directly into Wolf Fang’s internal base.
At the time, inside a closed monitoring room, a man stared at the video with his hands behind his back, this man was Wolf King Ye Qian.
"How can he enter so openly? Why didn’t the guards check him?" Ye Qian said indifferently.
Wang Qian stood behind him, very respectfully and said, "Because contacting has been quite frequent recently, he comes here often, so these procedures were omitted."
"Coming every day omits it? Did he agree to join Wolf Fang?" Ye Qian turned to glance at Wang Qian.
"It’s my oversight." Wang Qian said.
Ye Qian didn’t speak further, directly exited the monitoring room.
Wang Qian took a deep breath and followed out; standing by Wolf King, she always felt an inexplicable pressure.
Ye Qian strode into Wang Qian’s office, just in time to see Xiang Yu pouring water for himself with a kettle.
Seeing Ye Qian come in, Xiang Yu cheerfully smiled, "Wolf Fang’s Wolf King Ye Qian indeed has extraordinary bearing."
"Xiang Yu, long time no see." Ye Qian smiled and said.
At this moment, Ye Qian was very calm, completely devoid of the previous imposing manner, just like an ordinary person.
The two exchanged pleasantries, sitting across from each other, while Wang Qian respectfully stood behind Ye Qian.
"Why are you standing there, you’re not a waiter, come sit." Xiang Yu patted the seat beside him and said.
"I’d rather stand, it’s more comfortable this way." Wang Qian quickly said.
Although Wang Qian was mid-level in Wolf Fang, she was still very restrained in front of Wolf King.
"Sit." Wolf King smiled faintly.
With Wolf King’s command, Wang Qian respectfully took a seat on the couch, but didn’t speak, just quietly sat there.
"So, what do you want me here for today?" Xiang Yu said, smiling.
Wang Qian gave Xiang Yu a casual glance, signaling him to watch his manner, not to be so nonchalant...
