Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 729: Suspecting Feng Lan

Usually, Li Xiaohuan would not need to express his own opinion at such gatherings, as he could always speak directly to Liu Lianyu about any matter, but the fact that Liu Lianyu had let him speak first now indicated a problem. Liu Lianyu was beginning to lose his composure.

They had followed Liu Lianyu for so many years, yet this was the first time they had seen him like this.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiaohuan said, "The fact that Xiang Yu and his men were able to infiltrate without us noticing is a dereliction of duty. Thankfully, they do not know the location of our headquarters; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. As the saying goes, it’s never too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost. I believe our primary task is to find out where Xiang Yu came from and why none of our brothers here noticed anything."

"Where were you last night?" Liu Lianyu asked indifferently as he glanced at Li Xiaohuan.

It was this indifferent glance that caused Li Xiaohuan’s heart to sink. It was more than enough to make clear Liu Lianyu’s suspicion of him. He was Liu Lianyu’s bodyguard, the person Liu Lianyu trusted the most.

And it was for this reason that Liu Lianyu had not arranged for anyone to tail Li Xiaohuan.

Li Xiaohuan recounted his activities from the previous night. After returning from Feng Lan’s place, he had gone to a bar to drink.

Several people expressed their opinions, and Feng Lan said, "The reason the Heavenly Dragon Gang took such action this time is probably that they already knew about our plans. If I lead the brothers over there again, I fear they might have an ambush waiting."

Liu Lianyu sat quietly, watching as everyone finished speaking, then he said, "Killing Xiang Yu is secondary; he’s just a jester. Right now, there’s chaos within the sect. In the coming days, you all must handle the sect’s affairs properly and ensure that no further problems arise."

The others nodded hastily; this event had a massive impact on the sect’s internal affairs. The idea of eliminating this impact seemed impossible.

Just as they were contemplating how to deal with the situation after returning, Liu Lianyu added, "Another issue is what Li Xiaohuan just raised: where did Xiang Yu come from, and why did the brothers not notice?"

Liu Lianyu’s gaze swept over everyone and finally rested on Feng Lan.

Seizing the opportunity, Wu Chenghui spoke up, "I think Xiang Yu and his men came from zone four, taking advantage of last night’s meeting to sneak in, lying in wait for the whole night before they began to move today. On this matter, I believe the boss of zone four bears an inescapable responsibility."

Zheng Tianming and Lin Huitao both nodded in agreement, supporting Wu Chenghui’s view.

Typically, it was Li Xiaohuan who would stand up and speak for Feng Lan, but this time he sat there silent. Feng Lan had made him lose face last night, and he swore to pay her back.

All eyes in the room were now focused on Feng Lan.

Yet Feng Lan calmly looked at Liu Lianyu and explained, "Last night, I was hosting a mobilization meeting; I am not clear on the other matters."

Feng Lan knew it was difficult to clear such matters, and it was better to say less; the more one spoke, the more likely they were to slip up and ruin everything.

Wu Chenghui couldn’t help but snort sarcastically, "The entire responsibility for this incident is yours, yet you claim to be unclear now. How ludicrous."

"How do you know it was caused by me? Could it not have been possible that they came from your zone one?" Feng Lan retorted unabashedly.

"Improbable. Our zone one is as secure as a fortress; not just Xiang Yu’s group, but not even a fly could get in," Wu Chenghui proudly declared.

"Then why didn’t you know when Xiang Yu got in?" Feng Lan asked with disdain.

"Because they did not come in from our side," Wu Chenghui defended.

"Stop the noise," Liu Lianyu suddenly frowned and called out, "I want Xiang Yu’s head within two weeks. Otherwise, don’t come back to see me."

After finishing speaking, Liu Lianyu then glanced at Li Xiaohuan before standing up, turning around, and walking away.

They had never seen Liu Lianyu angry before; it seemed that she was truly furious. Wu Chenghui and the others didn’t linger and quickly left. They had a lot of things to do now and had to return to their own territory to appease the disciples.

Li Xiaohuan knew that Liu Lianyu was looking for him, so he followed her to her room.

"Sect Hierarch, is there something you need me for?" Li Xiaohuan said first as he stood there.

"From today onwards, go and assist Feng Lan," Liu Lianyu said, looking at Li Xiaohuan.

Li Xiaohuan was startled. What did this mean? Could it be that Liu Lianyu no longer trusted him and was pushing him towards Feng Lan? Or did she suspect Feng Lan, and wanted him to go and monitor her?

Li Xiaohuan looked at Liu Lianyu with some doubt, hoping she would clarify.

"I know you like her, but I hope you can see the reality. Don’t disappoint me. Now leave," Liu Lianyu said without paying any more attention to Li Xiaohuan.

Li Xiaohuan nodded his head and walked out of the room. From Liu Lianyu’s last sentence, he gathered that she seemed to have some distrust for Feng Lan.

She had sent him to Feng Lan’s side to supervise her, and also to test him.

Having understood this, Li Xiaohuan felt enlightened, then drove toward District Four. He felt no burden in his heart now. Although he liked Feng Lan, her repeated betrayals had filled him with resentment.

This time he was ordered to go to Feng Lan’s side, which was the perfect opportunity to take her down. Then, on a day when all eyes were on him, he would publicly announce that he had had Feng Lan more than a hundred times.

He was excited just thinking about it as he drove.

When Li Xiaohuan arrived at Feng Lan’s room, he pushed the door open without knocking. Feng Lan was on the phone, and her expression changed instantly when she saw someone enter, then she promptly hung up.

"Who allowed you to come in? Get out," Feng Lan said coldly.

Li Xiaohuan merely smiled lightly and ignored Feng Lan. Instead, he sat down on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, then leaned back and addressed Feng Lan, "The Sect Hierarch said I’m to assist you. Now, District Four isn’t just yours alone."

After hearing this, Feng Lan was startled. This clearly meant Liu Lianyu had begun to distrust her. But Liu Lianyu still couldn’t be certain if these events were related to Feng Lan, which was why she had sent Li Xiaohuan to watch over her first.

"Nonsense. Why would the Sect Hierarch send you to me? What about his safety?" Feng Lan shot back, sitting opposite Li Xiaohuan with a frosty demeanor.

"You don’t need to worry about the Sect Hierarch’s safety. Even if I’m not by his side, no one can touch him," Li Xiaohuan said confidently, "Who were you calling just now? Why so secretive?"

Feng Lan just snorted and ignored him, instead standing up and heading towards an inner room. She really didn’t want to sit with Li Xiaohuan, especially now when she was eager to inform Xiang Yu about this matter.

Now that Liu Lianyu had started to doubt her, she would have to be even more careful. Just as she reached the room and was about to close the door, Li Xiaohuan followed and held the door open, then looked at her with a malicious grin....
