Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 668: Zhang Dongxu is a Jinx

Liu Lianyu’s third issue was to list eliminating Xiang Yu as an A-level task within the sect. Moreover, he emphasized that the leaders of the four districts could go without needing Liu Lianyu’s approval; they could go directly.

After stating this, Liu Lianyu specifically looked at Feng Lan, who was sitting there, and then said, "Any questions?"

Feng Lan immediately replied, "Because I have just taken over the affairs of the fourth district, there are many issues I have not yet clarified, so I’d like to abstain from the task of killing Xiang Yu for now and leave it to the three of them."

The other leaders didn’t have a good impression of Feng Lan and all snorted coldly in secret without speaking.

Theoretically, since Feng Lan had taken Wang Yingying’s place, she should have been the one seeking revenge. But Feng Lan’s point also made sense. Liu Lianyu thought for a moment and then nodded his head.

Without saying much more, he stood up with Murong Xue in his arms. He didn’t even announce the adjournment of the meeting before walking towards the door.

Murong Xue followed Liu Lianyu’s steps out and couldn’t help but look back at Feng Lan before leaving. Her eyes carried a hint of silent resentment.

Li Xiaohuan also quickly stood up and then said with a smile to Feng Lan, "I’ll come to visit you when I have time." After speaking, she hurriedly left.

Now, only the leaders of the four districts remained in the room.

"Let’s talk, how should we handle this matter?" Wu Chenghui was the first to speak.

Wu Chenghui had had the best relationship with Wang Yingying, and obviously, he now felt compelled to take down Xiang Yu. Moreover, Liu Lianyu had just said that they could act without his consent. This was an implicit signal that Xiang Yu had to be taken out.

The leaders of the second district, Zheng Tianming, and the third district, Lin Huitao, simultaneously turned their gaze towards Feng Lan. Clearly, they felt somewhat uncomfortable with Feng Lan sitting there.

They had started off by mocking her, but now she had abruptly become their equal, which caused some psychological imbalance. Moreover, they had always believed that Feng Lan had climbed her way up through her looks, which made them despise her even more.

Feng Lan knew what they were thinking and simply stood up and left. Now that she was the leader of the fourth district, she wasn’t far from her goal.

"What trash, little temptress," Zheng Tianming said as he watched Feng Lan leave.

"Are you just sour because you can’t have the grapes?" Lin Huitao said with a lecherous smile.

"Let’s not talk about that now. Let’s discuss avenging Wang Yingying," Wu Chenghui urged quickly.

...

Feng Lan, even upon returning to her residence, found it difficult to calm her heart. It felt like a dream, a journey from hope to disappointment, and then from disappointment to surprise.

And Xiang Yu was the architect of this entire process. She took out her phone and immediately called Xiang Yu.

"You guessed right, Wang Yingying is dead, and I’ve become the leader of the fourth district," Feng Lan said directly.

Xiang Yu just hummed in response and didn’t say much, as if all this had been within his expectations. Feng Lan had wanted to share her excitement with Xiang Yu, but his indifferent response instantly chilled her heart.

"Goodbye." Annoyed, Feng Lan hung up directly.

Then she threw the phone fiercely onto the bed, feeling a tinge of disappointment. She shook her head and laughed at herself afterward. Why should she feel disappointed? Maybe she had just placed too much importance on Xiang Yu.

At this moment, Xiang Yu and several people were discussing matters in his office.

Wang Ze, sitting across from Xiang Yu, spoke seriously, "We’ve thoroughly investigated Zhang Dongxu’s situation. His parents divorced when he was eight, and he lived with his grandfather. At the age of ten, both his grandparents passed away. A family took him in, but two years later, everyone in that family died. When he was fifteen, he started making his way in society, getting involved with the underworld. He followed many gang leaders, but they all died within a year. Now twenty-one, he has been with his current boss for two years, and people in the underworld call him ’The Jinx.’ I’ve compiled all the specifics here."

After finishing, Wang Ze handed a file box to Xiang Yu.

"What? So this guy is that unlucky? No wonder I keep having nightmares. Turns out this guy is so cursed," Tie Zhuzi immediately stood up and said.

Xiang Yu simply smiled. He didn’t believe in jinxes. Affairs of the underworld were inherently unpredictable and subject to change. These were merely coincidences.

As Xiang Yu looked over Zhang Dongxu’s file, he made a basic judgment about the man. On the surface, he seemed optimistic and eloquent, but who knew how much pain he carried inside him.

Zhang Dongxu’s background was complicated, and his survival to this day could be considered nothing short of miraculous.

"There’s another thing..." Wang Ze hesitated, not wanting to speak but also not wanting to conceal anything from Xiang Yu.

"Is it that he’s now facing some difficulty?" Xiang Yu put down Zhang Dongxu’s file and confidently smiled.

Zhang Dongxu quickly nodded and said, "He has written us an IOU. I didn’t expect this kid to take it so seriously. After going back last night, he started preparing. But his superior found out about it and issued a kill order against him."

Tie Zhuzi was sitting aside, not paying attention to the other details, just fixating on the IOU matter, and hastily said, "Of course it should be taken seriously—it’s a debt of hundreds of millions."

Xiang Yu just laughed it off; all this was within his expectations. He had judged Zhang Dongxu to be a man of his word, which is why he had signed a high-priced IOU with him, to force him to leave his former place.

All of this was clear to Wang Ze and the others. The reason he hesitated to speak was precisely because of these issues. Zhang Dongxu was known as a jinx, which was not some baseless rumor but a fact with everything laid out here.

They worried that bringing him into their fold might bring them misfortune.

People in the underworld typically worshiped Lord Guan, believing he protected them and brought them good fortune. They most feared associating with so-called jinxes.

But Xiang Yu was an exception; he worshiped no one. To him, all these were worthless. He had no faith, unbound by conventional culture.

"How is his situation now?" Xiang Yu asked.

"From what we understand, it’s not good. He’s on the run with two of his brothers," Wang Ze said.

Only then did Tie Zhuzi grasp the situation and quickly said, "We can’t let him die; if he dies, who will pay off our account?"

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads and chuckled. Tie Zhuzi seemed almost obsessed. He had so much money he couldn’t spend it all, yet he was still so keen on it.

"Keep a close watch on his movements; we can’t let him die easily. Just like Zhuzi said, he still owes us," Xiang Yu spoke with a smile.

Feeling uneasy, Xiang Yu looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "I’m entrusting this task to you. Secretly protect him and, if necessary, bring more brothers."

"Understood," Xiao Xuan nodded in response.

While they were discussing the issue, Sun Bo hurriedly walked in. Seeing everyone there, his expression relaxed, and then he sat across from Xiang Yu and said, "Brother Yu, there’s something I need to report to you..."
