Urban Super Soldier King

By now, Xiang Yu had already become Zhong Huashan's bodyguard, and he had to be diligent and responsible on the surface. Otherwise, Ding Yongwei would start gossiping again.

Although Tie Zhuzi and the others were worried about Xiang Yu's injuries, seeing Xiang Yu insist, they had no choice but to follow him.

Xiang Yu had become the captain of the bodyguard team, and naturally, the two of them had joined the bodyguard brigade.

Tie Zhuzi was driving, and by the time they returned to the headquarters, it was already ten o'clock at night. When they arrived at the gate, someone suddenly stood out to block them.

"What's going on?" Tie Zhuzi shouted irritably.

The person naturally knew it was Xiang Yu's car; however, at this time of the night, everyone had to undergo checks, and they were helpless.

"Big brother, sorry," the person said with an apologetic smile; of course, he was addressing Xiang Yu.

At that moment, Xiang Yu had already stepped out of the car and then waved his hand to indicate it was no issue. He stepped down from the vehicle and then surveyed the security arrangement on both sides of the gate.

Although the setup appeared very tight on the surface, it was too obvious. It might work against average people, but it was poor for dealing with experts.

"Who arranged this?" Xiang Yu asked the person.

By now, everyone here had already recognized Xiang Yu, and he hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "The security arrangement was orchestrated by Captain Zhao."

"Captain Zhao? Which Captain Zhao?" Xiang Yu sneered and asked the man.

The man seemed to suddenly remember something and then said, "It's Zhao Wen."

"Call over everyone on duty today; I want to rearrange things," Xiang Yu said, then headed towards the duty room.

Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan also got out of the car and followed Xiang Yu into the duty room.

At that time, two people were sitting in the duty room chatting; when they saw Xiang Yu suddenly enter, they were initially stunned and then excitedly stood up and called him big brother.

Xiang Yu nodded at them, signaling them not to be nervous. By then, people outside had gradually walked in, and most of them felt somewhat excited upon seeing Xiang Yu.

During the day, they had witnessed Xiang Yu's performance and admired him from the bottom of their hearts. Now that Xiang Yu was their captain and their big brother, they were all very happy.

There were a total of fifteen people on the night duty; Xiang Yu looked at them, and each one seemed very spirited, their eyes full of admiration.

"Brothers, you've all worked hard," Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Most of the brothers on duty here were from the grassroots level; they rarely got the chance to face big figures, let alone talk to them.

In front of them, Xiang Yu was like a mountain they could only look up to.

"Big brother, it's not hard," the crowd said excitedly, seeing how approachable Xiang Yu was.

Sometimes, those at the lower levels don't need much material reward; they just need a word of recognition or a greeting from above.

"Starting today, every brother on duty will get double the salary at night. Tell the chef in the cafeteria that there are extra meals for night shifts and that these meals should be well-prepared," Xiang Yu decisively ordered.

Those who heard felt as though they were dreaming. The very first day Xiang Yu arrived, he was ready to make significant changes, which excited and surprised them.

"Bring over the blueprints of the manor," Xiang Yu said.

The men looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Xiang Yu meant, then started rummaging through boxes and cabinets until they finally found the entire estate's plan in a corner.

Xiang Yu dusted off the top and then spread it out, carefully examining it.

"You fifteen will now be divided into three groups, one of which will hide in the shadows, acting as a secret guard..." Xiang Yu explained the positions of everyone as he studied the map.

After hearing the plan, all fifteen men nodded in agreement. It had to be said that Xiang Yu's arrangement was much better than before.

Previously, it seemed strict, but it was not very effective. Now, it appeared loose but was full of hidden dangers. If someone dared to break in, they definitely would not return.

Just as they were preparing to head to their positions, someone outside came in cursing loudly.

"You fools, how do you stand guard, all slacking off here. Forget about your bonuses this month." The person, of medium height and slightly overweight with a sleazy look, started cursing before he even entered.

In his eyes, these night guards were just minor characters, whom he could manipulate and bully at will. Moreover, these people had to regularly give him half of their salaries as tribute, otherwise, Zhao Wen would make things difficult for them, or even beat them up outright.

Thus, they were quite afraid of Zhao Wen. Seeing Zhao Wen arrive, they looked nervously at Xiang Yu, hoping he would support them.

But Xiang Yu was the head of the entire bodyguard squadron, a big brother figure in their eyes. Would Xiang Yu really care about them?

"You little bitches, why aren't you on duty?" Zhao Wen, flanked by two men, burst in and then stood in the middle and shouted.

None of the people around spoke. They all lowered their heads, intimidated by Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen initially intended to grab someone and beat them up well to show off his authority and vent his frustrations.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that something was off with the atmosphere; these men did not seem afraid of him today.

"Zhao Wen, you're quite imposing today," Xiang Yu suddenly said while sitting there.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Wen shivered all over, and then looked forward, only to see Xiang Yu sitting squarely in the middle, flanked by Tie Zhuzi and Xiao Xuan.

Zhao Wen was confused as to why Xiang Yu was there, momentarily stunned.

"You, you were injured, how are you now..." Zhao Wen's voice began to tremble as he spoke.

"What can those minor injuries do to me? Oh right, those thirteen stabs were your work, weren't they?" Xiang Yu then stood up, walked to the front, and sat on the desk with his arms folded, watching him.

Zhao Wen started to panic. He kept telling himself not to be afraid. After all, Ding Yongwei had ordered it; he was just following orders.

Moreover, he had met Xiang Yu before. Back then, Xiang Yu was as submissive as a lamb; his present demeanor must be an act. As long as he stood firm, Xiang Yu would surely reveal his true colors. A weakling would always be a weakling, no matter how well he pretended.

"Xiang Yu, why did you call them here? It's their duty time now. What if outsiders break in? What if the boss gets hurt? Will you take responsibility?" Zhao Wen abruptly demanded, glaring defiantly at Xiang Yu.

"What did you just call me? I didn't hear you," Xiang Yu said, leaning his ear towards Zhao Wen.

The fear inside Zhao Wen grew, but he knew he had to steel himself; otherwise, he would never be able to stand tall before Xiang Yu.

"Xiang Yu, I'm talking to you. Don't dodge the question. What exactly do you want by pulling the brothers back now? Who will be responsible for the boss's safety?" Zhao Wen stared at Xiang Yu with a forced bravado...
