363: Chapter 363: Xiao Xuan Was Actually Beaten Up 363: Chapter 363: Xiao Xuan Was Actually Beaten Up Xiang Yu’s approach was so deeply appealing that it even instilled a sense of crisis in Miao Honglei.
As a result, he had to restrain Xiang Yu’s developnt, were it not for the constant flow of money Xiang Yu could provide, Miao Honglei would have considered relegating him to a minor position.
When Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi returned to the hotel, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
Xiao Xuan and the others hadn’t co back, and Xiang Yu, confident in them, didn’t inquire further.
Just as the two sat down on the sofa, Zhong Qin and Long Wu returned, both wearing excited expressions.
Long Wu, with Zhong Qin’s company, had gradually started to smile more, an enchanting transformation for those who laid eyes on her.
Long Wu’s change didn’t surprise Xiang Yu, after all, it wasn’t good for a girl to be cold-faced every day.
What did surprise him, however, was that Xiao Xuan was hesitating to co in from behind them.
Finally summoned by Xiang Yu, they could see that Xiao Xuan’s face was bruised, clearly the work of a beating.
Whoever had hurt Xiao Xuan must’ve been skilled.
“What happened?” Xiang Yu quickly asked because the recent mission involving the rescue of the big boss couldn’t afford any sloppiness; he had to ensure absolute security.
Xiao Xuan was hurt, yet Zhong Qin and Long Wu seed cheerful—what was going on?
Tie Zhuzi couldn’t help but jump to his feet from the sofa and said, “Who hit you?
Were you ambushed?
Damn it, daring to bully my brother, co on, I’ll back you up in teaching them a lesson.”
Although Tie Zhuzi had so issues with Xiao Xuan recently, brotherhood prevailed.
He might be dissatisfied with Xiao Xuan, but he wouldn’t allow outsiders to bully him.
“Soone has taken a fancy to Sister Long Wu,” Zhong Qin suddenly chuckled and said.
Xiang Yu didn’t respond imdiately, failing to see the connection between Xiao Xuan getting beaten up and soone liking Long Wu.
“Hmph!
Anyway, soone likes Sister Long Wu.
Co on, let’s ignore them,” Zhong Qin said, taking Long Wu by the arm and heading back to their room.
Long Wu took the opportunity to give Xiang Yu a challenging glance, only to see that he still appeared utterly oblivious.
Xiao Xuan, seeing the befuddled expressions on Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi, said sowhat embarrassedly, “Brother Yu, don’t ask.”
“Be careful,” Xiang Yu, realizing Xiao Xuan hadn’t encountered an enemy, finally relaxed.
The land of Huaxia was full of capable people; it was normal for Xiang Yu and his group to occasionally run into a few masters.
As long as there was no danger to them, everything was up for discussion.
Xiao Xuan, still embarrassed, quickly retired to his room.
Tie Zhuzi, puzzled, looked at Xiang Yu and said, “Brother Yu, what’s with Xiao Xuan acting so strange, getting beaten and not talking about it?”
Xiang Yu just smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Xiao Xuan has grown up, and if he doesn’t want to talk about it, he must have his reasons.”
With that, Tie Zhuzi nodded in confusion, and they chatted about other matters until Xiang Yu’s phone suddenly rang—it was Shi Jian calling.
“Everything is ready; we start out tomorrow,” Shi Jian said.
“Be careful.
It’s more complicated here than back ho.
Don’t all co together; spread out,” Xiang Yu advised cautiously.
“Don’t worry, I understand,” Shi Jian replied.
They discussed more details and where to et the following evening before ending the call.
Hearing that Shi Jian and his crew were arriving tomorrow, Tie Zhuzi felt a touch of excitent.
It had been a long ti since he had seen them, and he missed them a bit.
When they arrived and saw him living day-to-day in a three-star hotel with attendants at his service, he wondered if they would be envious.
The next morning, Xiang Yu was awoken by Long Wu as usual.
Ever since Long Wu arrived, Xiang Yu hadn’t had a single lazy morning and was forced to get up early for morning run exercises.
Xiang Yu was already an expert runner, and by the ti he finished two laps, Long Wu and the others had only managed half a lap, with Xiao Xuan doing slightly better, while Tie Zhuzi was exhausted like a dog.
After Xiang Yu returned from his run, he wanted to quickly lie back in bed for a bit more sleep.
But Long Wu, after running only one lap, ca back and once again roused Xiang Yu.
Zhong Qin was delighted to see Long Wu handling Xiang Yu with such ease and laughed rrily.
Xiang Yu’s status in her heart plumted, going from a great hero to a timorous wimp who was afraid of won.
Xiang Yu didn’t bother to defend himself against these claims and just let them be.
That morning, Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi didn’t have much to do, so Zhong Qin excitedly dragged them out to play.
Zhong Qin took Xiang Yu and the others to a nearby bar.
The place was chaotic, not Xiang Yu’s preferred environnt; he didn’t understand why Zhong Qin liked such settings.
Perhaps it was because no one had accompanied Zhong Qin here before, and now that she had Long Wu by her side, everything felt new and thrilling to her.
They found a corner to sit down and ordered drinks.
It was then that Zhong Qin suddenly beca joyful and, grabbing Long Wu’s arm, said, “Look, Long Wu, that silly boy is here too.”
Following Zhong Qin’s pointing finger, Xiang Yu and the others saw a relatively well-dressed young man looking around cluelessly, as if searching for sothing.
When he caught sight of Long Wu, his eyes lit up, and he headed their way.
Xiao Xuan’s expression chilled upon seeing him, and then he stood there, blocking the young man’s path.
Yet the young man ignored Xiao Xuan, his gaze fixed on Long Wu, and with a smile said, “What a coincidence.”
Xiang Yu looked at the man closely and saw a youngster with short hair, dium build, a handso and valiant face—and so bruising on one side that matched Xiao Xuan’s location.
He wore a new set of casual clothes, the tags of which he’d apparently forgotten to remove, suggesting they were just bought.
On his feet was a pair of shiny new sneakers paired with sowhat worn military socks, making it obvious that he had been a sloppy dresser in the past.
Though he had made an effort today, it failed to conceal his true nature.
Xiang Yu could sll a strong scent of alcohol on the man; the young guy must’ve been a frequent drinker.
“Stay away from our miss,” Xiao Xuan stated icily.
Long Wu didn’t look at the man, instead, she lowered her head and drank a glass of beer to herself.
“It was him yesterday.
The two of you should fight again,” Zhong Qin said excitedly from the sidelines, clapping her hands as if she’d found a very entertaining activity.
“So if I win, can I sit here?” the man asked, never taking his eyes off Long Wu since he saw her, yet his gaze was innocent and without any disrespect; otherwise, Xiang Yu would have slapped him away long ago.
“Yes, yes, if you beat Xiao Xuan, you can sit beside Long Wu,” Zhong Qin replied with glee.
Long Wu scowled and tugged at Zhong Qin forcefully, telling her to stop fooling around.
She took the opportunity to glance at Xiang Yu and saw him looking at the man in front of them with a smile, curious about his thoughts.
“Alright then, I’ll fight him once more,” the man declared.
He then took a couple of steps back, getting ready for the fight…
