<strong>Capítulo 1764: Chapter 1765: Can’t Help Being Handsome</strong>


    When Xiang Yu and his twopanions returned to the district, someone came to report they had captured a person, a soldier.


    “Bring him to the vi,” Xiang Yu said.


    “He’s already outside the vi now,” the person replied.


    Xiang Yu and the others said nothing more and got out of the car, heading towards the vi.


    At that moment, a guard was standing there upright, with two people behind him holding guns.


    Since thest incident, Wu Jing had tightened the security of Tianlong District.


    The guard recognized Xiang Yu and took a few steps forward when he saw himing over.


    “Don’t move.” The two behind him pressed their guns to his back, indicating he shouldn’t move.


    The guard stopped, looking at Xiang Yu. He noticed Xiang Yu and hispanions walked with a light gait, different from before.


    Xiang Yu nced at the guard and gestured for his men to step away.


    The guard followed Xiang Yu into the vi, standing straight in the hall.


    “Why are you standing? Sit,” Xiang Yu said.


    The guard hesitated, knowing Xiang Yu, but doubting Xiang Yu knew him.


    “Do you know me?” The guard asked, looking at Xiang Yu in confusion.


    “I don’t, but I can guess. Is Rumus in trouble?” Xiang Yu said.


    The guard was surprised and quickly nodded, “That’s right, themander sent me to find you.”


    The guard paused and continued, “Themander has been ced under soft detention.”


    “What, detained? By whom?” Tie Zhuzi asked immediately.


    Though not fond of Rumus initially, over time, Tie Zhuzi saw Rumus as part of their team.


    He also knew Rumus held a high rank, being a deputymander, which implied the detainer had an even higher rank.


    “I don’t know the specifics. Themander specifically instructed me to find you,” the guard said, looking expectantly at Xiang Yu.


    He knew Xiang Yu was just the leader of a mercenary group, but the fact he knew about themander’s troubles indicated connections higher up.


    “Is there a way to get me in to see yourmander?” Xiang Yu asked the guard.


    The guard confidently nodded, “No problem.”


    “Brother, I’ll go with you,” Xiao Xuan said.


    With Rumus detained, rashly heading there would indeed be dangerous for Xiang Yu.


    “I’ll go too,” Tie Zhuzi insisted.


    The guard frowned seeing the two’s insistence; he was confident with just Xiang Yu but unsure with the other two.


    Tie Zhuzi’srge build instantly didn’t fit the military look.


    “You two stay here, nothing will happen to me,” Xiang Yu reassured them.


    Xiao Xuan still wanted to say something, but Xiang Yu waved him off, “Rx, since this brother is so confident, it’ll be fine.”


    The guard felt a bit embarrassed by Xiang Yu’s trust.


    His earlier boast felt less certain upon reflection.


    “I’ll do my best,” the guard nodded.


    “Do I need to prepare anything?” Xiang Yu asked the guard.


    The guard thought for a moment, then left and returned with a military uniform.


    “Put this on,” the guard said.


    Xiang Yu nodded without hesitation, took the clothes, and went into a room. When he emerged, he was fully dressed.


    The outfit seemed tailored for him, with Xiang Yu’s demeanor transformed.


    Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi didn’t think much; they knew Xiang Yu was handsome, just not fond of dressing up.


    The guard was momentarily stunned by how standard it was when Xiang Yu appeared.


    “Pretty handsome, but don’t fall for me. I’m only interested in women,” Xiang Yu casually remarked.


    The guard, regainingposure, coughed, “You used to be in the army, right?”


    Xiang Yu just smiled without borating. Though different from Chinese uniforms, it equally suited him.


    “Wait a moment,” said the guard, bringing backbat boots.


    Xiang Yu put them on without fuss, stood before a mirror, and nodded in satisfaction.


    “Let’s go find Rumus now,” Xiang Yu said decisively.


    The guard briskly led the way out.


    “Be careful, call if anything happens,” Xiao Xuan called after them.


    Xiang Yu nodded, following the guard out.


    Instead of driving, they caught a taxi heading for the main military district.


    The taxi driver, a woman, kept sneaking nces at Xiang Yu through the rearview mirror.


    Xiang Yu noticed her looks, acknowledging she had some charm.


    “You military folks have it good. My husband was in the army once,” the woman said.


    Xiang Yu smiled faintly, not engaging further, preupied with his thoughts.


    “Sadly, he passed too soon, leaving me alone,” the woman sighed, ncing at Xiang Yu again.


    Seeing no reaction, she continued, “Soldier, how old are you?”


    She was clearly addressing Xiang Yu.


    “Why ask?” Xiang Yu smiled,cking interest in her.


    The driver, charmed by his candor, offered a card, “Call me if you ever need anything. We click well, don’t we?”


    “Sure.” Xiang Yu took the card.


    The driver grazed his hand, clearly indicating her interest.


    The guard beside Xiang Yu felt a twinge of envy at his charm attracting women.


    Reaching their destination, the guard and Xiang Yu realized they had forgotten cash.


    The guard never carried any, and Xiang Yu had changed clothes.


    “It’s okay; just call me when you have the money,” the driver smiled at Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu hurriedly nodded, “Alright, I’ll find you.”


    His words gave the driver a rush, and she blew him a kiss before driving off, nearly hitting a tree in excitement.


    “Being handsome is tough,” Xiang Yu sighed as the guard looked on jealously, heading forward.


    The guard chuckled, shaking his head, and followed Xiang Yu onward…
