Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 688: Identifying the Kidnapper

"What do we do now?"

Several people unanimously looked at Wu Jing. Although Wu Jing hadn’t been with Xiang Yu for the longest time, he was the most reliable among them. At this moment, they all wanted to hear Wu Jing’s opinion.

"Wang Ze, you take a team to continue searching for news about Brother Yu, while Tie Zhuzi and I will take another team to find Dong Ze and his crew," Wu Jing instructed.

Wang Ze quickly nodded, pulled out his phone to give a few orders, and then hurried downstairs.

"I’ll go with you guys too," Long Wu said anxiously. She was genuinely worried that something might have happened to Xiang Yu, and she would never forgive herself if it had.

"You should stay at home and wait for news. Since Brother Yu didn’t want you to get involved in underworld matters, you should listen to him. Don’t worry, Brother Yu will be fine." Wu Jing said, forcing a smile before heading downstairs with Tie Zhuzi.

Long Wu was left alone in the empty room, feeling somewhat aggrieved and very dejected. She desperately needed someone to comfort her and thus dialed her brother’s number.

At that time, Long Zaitian was busy as can be in City No. 1. Ever since they took down Gao Leiming and became the theoretical Underground Evil Emperor of City No. 1, business had been booming like never before.

You could say they were literally getting hand cramps from counting money every day, and there were no more wars in the city, with crime rates having dropped significantly.

Seeing it was his sister calling made Long Zaitian very excited.

He knew that Long Wu was now the Chief Financial Officer of their corporation, a high-level white-collar professional, and he felt happy for his sister’s achievements.

"Bro, I caused some trouble," Long Wu started crying as soon as the call went through. She could be a strong woman in front of others, but in front of her family, she was just a big child.

Of course, this was only over the phone. If the two of them were face-to-face, she absolutely wouldn’t have been able to cry.

"Little Wu, don’t panic, tell me slowly," said Long Zaitian, somewhat flustered since his sister was all by herself in a different place, and he was understandably a bit worried.

Long Wu recounted the whole situation, and hearing that Xiang Yu was missing, Long Zaitian too became worried. Yet, he still reassured her, "Little Wu, this isn’t your fault. If the other party managed to take away Brother Yu, they must have been planning it for a while. Even if you hadn’t called him, he would have been taken away."

Long Wu talked a lot with her brother, including many recent events. Long Zaitian, learning that Xiang Yu did not want his sister involved in the gang affairs, also felt quite relieved.

Finally, hanging up the phone, Long Wu felt a bit better. But with the thought of Xiang Yu being kidnapped, her heart was still hanging by a thread.

Wu Jing and Tie Zhuzi led about twenty people straight to Dong Ze’s stronghold. As it had been night the last time, Tie Zhuzi only remembered the general location, and it took them a long while to eventually find that secluded corner.

However, as they approached the place, they saw that it was brightly lit, with many people standing outside.

Getting closer, Tie Zhuzi and his men realized that it was Dong Ze’s funeral.

Seeing this, Tie Zhuzi was taken aback. Dong Ze had been fine just the night before; how could he have died just like that?

Mu Bai, having heard that people were arriving, hurriedly came out with his men. As they were the hosts, they had more people around them than Tie Zhuzi’s group.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Bai asked bluntly.

Noticing the unfriendly look on the other’s face, Wu Jing stepped forward and said, "You’ve taken my big brother, and I’ve come to get him back."

Actually, Wu Jing and the others weren’t sure if it was these people who had kidnapped Xiang Yu, and they were just confronting them on a hunch.

Mu Bai replied with utter calmness, "I haven’t seen your big brother. As you can see, we are quite busy right now, so I hope you don’t make a mess here."

"You’re busy, and we are too. Xiang Yu must have been taken by you guys. Step aside and let me go look for him." Tie Zhuzi couldn’t care less about the situation and was ready to barge forward in a few steps.

The brothers behind Mu Bai gathered around at once upon seeing this. Their boss had died, leaving them somewhat grief-stricken. So now, they were extremely united and ready to charge at anyone causing trouble here, no matter the cost.

And right now, Tie Zhuzi was the one provoking them.

"We don’t want to cause trouble, but if you mess around here, don’t blame us for being impolite," Mu Bai tried to restrain his brothers as he shouted.

He genuinely didn’t want trouble; he just hoped that Dong Ze could leave this world quietly, paying his last respects to him.

Seeing someone daring to stop him, Tie Zhuzi’s eyes widened, ready to take action.

At this moment, Wu Jing quickly grabbed him, shook his head, and said, "If that’s the case, then let’s go back for now."

Tie Zhuzi wanted to say something but, seeing Wu Jing’s serious face, he reluctantly followed Wu Jing, fuming.

In a corner unnoticed by everyone, two men dressed in black suits were quietly conversing.

"Brother Han, it seems they’ve caught on about us capturing Xiang Yu," said the smaller, thinner man.

The one referred to as Brother Han nodded thoughtfully.

This man, Han Dong, was one of Dong Ze’s lieutenants. The thin man beside him, Wang Huisheng, was Han Dong’s sidekick.

"This could affect our plans," Han Dong frowned.

Wang Huisheng chuckled and said with his beady eyes shifting, "I have a plan, Brother Han might want to hear it."

"Speak."

"We secretly kill Xiang Yu and then inform his subordinates. When they come for revenge, we can take the opportunity to get rid of Mu Bai. By then, the position of big brother will be yours, Brother Han."

Han Dong nodded and then shook his head, "What if they wipe us out too?"

"Impossible. By telling them this, we’re showing a friendly gesture. After they eliminate Mu Bai, they will definitely spare us. Besides, with Xiang Yu dead, their camp will be in complete disarray, and who will have time to bother with us?" Wang Huisheng laughed wickedly, obviously very pleased with his own strategy.

After thinking it over, Han Dong then showed a satisfied smile and patted Wang Huisheng on the shoulder, "Clever boy, worthy of being my strategist. Once this is done, I’ll credit you for the achievement."

"Thank you, Brother Han." Wang Huisheng’s eyes narrowed into a joyful smile.

Wu Jing and the others got back into the car and drove away from the place.

Tie Zhuzi voiced his dissatisfaction, "Why leave? I just feel that Mu Bai is not a good guy. Xiang Yu must have been taken by them."

Wu Jing nodded, "You’re right, Xiang Yu is definitely with them."

Tie Zhuzi looked at Wu Jing skeptically.

Knowing Tie Zhuzi’s doubts, Wu Jing said, "If he hadn’t done it, he would have been shocked to hear about Xiang Yu’s disappearance. But he was very calm just now, obviously pretending..."
