Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 667 Wang Yingying Commits Suicide for Fear of Crime

"The Sect Hierarch has arrived." At this moment, someone announced, and everyone hastily stood up, looking toward the inner gate with faces full of reverence.

At that moment, a handsome young man entered, cradling a beautiful woman in his arms. He was none other than Liu Lianyu, and the beauty in his embrace was named Murong Xue.

Murong Xue’s face was expressionless, seemingly numb.

After entering, Liu Lianyu did not pay attention to the crowd and directly took a seat in the front. Once he had sat down, everyone else also took their seats.

Li Xiaohuan hurriedly said, "Big brother, everyone is here now."

Actually, their Evil God Cult was a gang organization, but they all had deep faith, displaying blind worship towards Liu Lianyu. Many referred to Liu Lianyu as the Sect Hierarch, while others called him big brother.

Liu Lianyu nodded, then turned his gaze to Feng Lan, who was standing in the distance, and said, "You come and sit as well."

Feng Lan hesitated for a moment, then took her seat. The other leaders exchanged glances, evidently a little surprised. Someone of Feng Lan’s status normally wouldn’t have the privilege to sit there.

A flicker of melancholy flashed in Murong Xue’s eyes next to Liu Lianyu. Feng Lan’s beauty was the envy of many women. Although Murong Xue was also a great beauty, she was slightly less so compared to Feng Lan.

"Today, I have several matters to announce," Liu Lianyu continued, expressionless as he scanned the crowd. "First, effective today, Feng Lan is appointed as the boss of the fourth district, taking over Wang Yingying’s position."

As soon as Liu Lianyu finished speaking, everyone present was dumbstruck. What was happening? Why would Feng Lan suddenly be appointed as a boss? Their first thought was, could it be that the Sect Hierarch was beguiled by Feng Lan?

Feng Lan was equally shocked; the news exploded in her heart like a bomb. She had thought there was no hope for her after Xiang Yu failed to kill Wang Yingying, but this sudden announcement left her struggling to cope.

She remembered what Xiang Yu had said and began to feel that he was becoming more and more mysterious, as if he had anticipated all of this. Recalling her own intention to assassinate Wang Yingying that evening gave her shivers.

Fortunately, Wang Yingying had been summoned by Liu Lianyu, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"If Feng Lan is to be the boss of the fourth district, what position will Wang Yingying hold?" Wu Chenghui, the boss of the first district, asked at this point.

Wu Chenghui wore glasses, giving him a somewhat refined appearance, yet everyone in the circle knew him to be ruthless and cold-blooded, which greatly contradicted his looks.

"That brings me to the second matter. Wang Yingying, because of her betrayal, took her own life out of fear of her crimes last night," Liu Lianyu spoke indifferently, as if such an event was hardly significant to him.

"What?" Everyone in the room, except for Li Xiaohuan, opened their mouths in disbelief.

This news was a tremendous shock to them. The bosses of the three districts all knew that Wang Yingying had personally led her followers in an attempt to eliminate Xiang Yu.

They had assumed that Wang Yingying would succeed in killing Xiang Yu and then return to be rewarded by the Sect Hierarch, flaunting her success among them. Instead, they were faced with this outcome.

After all, Wang Yingying had considerable influence within the Evil God Cult. Her abrupt death was something they couldn’t accept.

Feng Lan was even more shocked; this completely corroborated what Xiang Yu had said. At first, she hadn’t believed Xiang Yu at all, thinking he was talking nonsense or that he was simply concocting an excuse to save face.

But now, the events unfolded exactly as Xiang Yu had described. Wang Yingying had indeed not been killed by someone else; she had committed suicide. No, that wasn’t quite right—it wasn’t suicide.

With this thought, Feng Lan looked at Liu Lianyu incredulously, only to see Liu Lianyu’s face remain calm, showing no hint of emotion.

"It’s homicide." Suddenly, this thought occurred to Feng Lan.

And this idea lingered in her mind, growing more and more certain. Could it be that Liu Lianyu and Xiang Yu were in cahoots, already having agreed on a story? But that theory obviously didn’t stand.

There was only one explanation left: Xiang Yu had predicted all of this, which was why he had released Wang Yingying. This way, not only could he eliminate Wang Yingying, but he could also cause a certain impact within the Evil God Cult.

Realizing this, Feng Lan took an even deeper breath of cold air; Xiang Yu was truly terrifying. However, she soon felt relieved because she was on the same side as Xiang Yu. The more capable Xiang Yu was, the happier she became. Perhaps he could really clear her and her three sisters of their charges.

The leaders of the other three districts had yet to recover from the news.

Wu Wenhui, the leader of the first district, had been closest to Wang Yingying, and he was still reeling from the sudden news of her suicide. He then turned to Liu Lianyu and said, "Sect Hierarch, I know Wang Yingying best. She was mentally strong and had a strong will to live; it’s impossible for her to commit suicide. Could there be another reason?"

The other district leaders nodded, agreeing with Wu Wenhui’s perspective. The four district leaders met often and knew each other too well; they could never believe that Wang Yingying would commit suicide.

Liu Lianyu looked at Wu Wenhui indifferently and said, "What, do you doubt me?"

"I wouldn’t dare." Seeing Liu Lianyu’s cold gaze, Wu Wenhui quickly replied.

Though they were leaders in their own right, their gangs were rooted in religious beliefs. All their followers were disciples of Liu Lianyu.

At any time, as long as Liu Lianyu gave the signal, everyone would follow his orders unconditionally. That was why none of the four district leaders dared to defy him.

The other two district leaders quickly lowered their heads as well, fearful of angering Liu Lianyu.

Only then did Liu Lianyu snort coldly and say, "This time, Wang Yingying’s mission to eliminate Xiang Yu was supposed to be straightforward, but he underestimated the enemy and fell into Xiang Yu’s ambush. According to the brothers’ reports, to save his own life, Wang Yingying chose to sacrifice the lives of over a hundred brothers. Don’t you think he should feel ashamed?"

Hearing this, they came to understand the reason behind the events. They all knew Wang Yingying, and such actions were typical of him; to save his own life, he would pay any price.

"Wu Chenghui, tell me what the first rule of our creed is?" Liu Lianyu said calmly.

Wu Chenghui cautiously replied, "The first rule of our creed states that no follower within the cult may kill one another, nor betray each other. Violators will face the supreme penalty, death without mercy..."

It was then that everyone understood. It wasn’t that Wang Yingying had killed himself out of guilt; he had been executed by the Sect Hierarch for breaking the rules. For a person like Wang Yingying, only the Sect Hierarch held such authority.

Seeing that everyone had come to understand, Liu Lianyu then said, "The third issue I wanted to address is that Xiang Yu has been classified as an A-Level dangerous individual..."
