I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 219: Getting into the thief’s car
Li Ang originally just wanted to express that his deadlift level was on par with his, but he didn't expect that the bar slipped out of his hands just after he lifted it a little. It might be because he had consumed too much of his hand strength to unscrew the screws earlier.

Therefore, in the eyes of the audience, it has become Leon's absolute strength in this aspect again, surpassing Pius Ulysse. The original narrow victory has become a complete victory. In fact, there is no big problem, it will only make Pius Ulysse a little embarrassed.

Leon looked towards Pius Yuli and shook his head slightly. It was useless to give him the chance!

What he didn't expect was that his slight shake of the head was captured by the camera, and eventually became a famous scene of the show and also his own emoticon package.

This famous scene was called "The King's Shake His Head/The King's Disdain" and other names by netizens, and it left a brief mark in the Internet craze.

Li Ang also gained considerable traffic because of this. As his opponent, Pius Uly obviously did not lose out either, as he got a lot of profits from it. Later, he also started live streaming by taking advantage of this popularity.

At the end of the game, Li Ang secured a ticket to the annual finals.

Compared to the duel between these two, the PKs between other groups of contestants seemed much duller. At least in this episode, there was no second contestant who could lift the same weight.

However, Dwayne Johnson still reminded Li Ang after the game, telling him not to be careless, as the opponent he would encounter in the annual finals might be stronger than ever before.

Obviously, from the expression on Leon's face, Dwayne Johnson knew that he didn't listen at all.

Today's show also allowed all those who paid attention to Li Ang to get to know him again.

Everyone can recognize that Li Ang has strong leg strength. After all, as a professional cyclist, his legs are the part he exercises the most every day.

But his core strength and hip muscular prowess are something that many people never imagined.

Regarding the program in which Li Ang participated, many professional fitness bloggers analyzed and commented on the competition between the two people in the video.

"Many people believe that Li Ang's main talent lies in lower body strength, including leg strength and hip strength. I think this view is correct, but not entirely normal. In fact, in my opinion, what surprises me most is his grip strength."

This fitness blogger can only be considered above average in terms of his fitness level, but what makes him most attractive is actually his professional knowledge and analytical ability.

For this reason, he is often described by his fans as the most educated among fitness enthusiasts and the strongest among the highly educated talents.

"Regarding the importance of grip strength in fitness, it has actually been overlooked by everyone, because for most of us fitness enthusiasts, the weights used are actually not enough to require your grip strength."

"But when your strength progresses further and you start to try more heavy weights, you will find that oftentimes it is your grip strength that limits you, not the muscles you want to focus on."

"Take the squat as an example. You may feel that your body can still try more weight, but your hands can't lift the barbell. This is a very common problem among many powerlifters, so most of them choose to use assistance belts."

"This is mainly because grip strength training is difficult, takes a long time to show results, and has limited muscle shaping. That's why I admire those with strong grip strength even more. In this competition, Pius Uly actually lost because he didn't pay attention to grip strength training and relied too much on the power belt, which caused him to drop his grip halfway through the pull."

"This also highlights the strength of Li Ang's grip. In fact, I think he can definitely try to enter the arm wrestling circle, and maybe he can also achieve certain results in the field of arm fighting."

Among the many videos that are trying to gain popularity, this one is considered to be of the highest quality, and therefore has gained quite a lot of popularity. Even Dwayne Johnson himself left a message below using his account to express his approval.

Many of Li Ang's fans followed him. At the same time, because of his videos, many viewers in the fitness circle also followed Li Ang's account. To some extent, the two of them achieved a win-win result.

Go back to two days ago.

Holka Geller's mood at this moment was a mixture of good and bad.

The good news is that they finally have some clues about the whereabouts of the psychic crystal. The bad news is that they failed in the process of capturing the suspect and even lost six fighters.

"Have the situations of the on-site personnel been thoroughly investigated?"

Holka Geller took a long puff of his cigar. The pungent smell almost blew off the top of his head, forcing him to close his eyes.

However, those who are familiar with him know that the more he immerses himself in his own world, the more active his thinking is.

“This is what the boss does.”

The head of the investigation team started to speak cautiously, but was quickly interrupted by Holka Geller:
"You should call me professor! This is a title I spent a lot of money to get. Anyone can be a boss. The guy selling hot dogs on the street is a boss, and the guy who runs a financial fraud company is also a boss. But not everyone can be a professor, don't you understand?"

"Okay, professor, the information we have so far about the people who failed to perform their missions is not very comprehensive. The general situation is that two people died, three were seriously injured, and one was slightly injured. As for the situation at the scene, we know two things. One is that their casualties were all caused by the suspect alone. The other is that no gunshots were heard at the scene. In other words, the two people who died may have been killed by cold weapons or by bare hands."

The leader of the investigation team kept his head down the whole time, even though this incident, according to normal people's logic, could not be considered a mistake in his command. After learning about Li Ang's identity as an athlete, he had overestimated his opponent as much as possible.

After all, with such a configuration, even if the target is a special forces soldier, the success rate is over 90%. But who would have known that it would fail with a young man who is not yet eighteen years old.

However, he also understood that according to the results, the mission had failed, and it had failed at the most critical juncture. It would be reasonable for the boss to punish him.

Holkar Geller blew out a smoke ring and sat up straighter.

"Interesting young man, no wonder. It's really impossible for ordinary people to take away the psychic crystal so easily. Failure is not terrible, Reis. What's terrible is failing twice in the same place for the same reason. Now that you have a clear goal, the rest will be easy. I will give you another chance. I hope you won't let me down."

The head of the investigation team, Reis, raised his head in fear and nodded, then seemed to find it difficult to speak:
"But in Hillsborough, we may not have enough manpower, and the police patrol frequency has increased recently. Even the FBI has stepped up its investigation of us." Holka Geller nodded softly, "I know all this. Logically, they shouldn't have such a big reaction. After all, this operation is not of such a large scale, or has caused such serious consequences. I may need to learn more about this."

"In addition, this operation will certainly not be carried out in Hillsborough. With the lesson learned from the last time, we should do our best in all aspects, for example, appearing in places where he is not aware of it."

Holka Geller put down the cigar in his hand, and the image on the computer screen was reflected on his deep blue eyes. It was a promotional poster for "Titan Game".

During the two days of recording the program, Li Ang did not wander around. The incident that happened some time ago made him feel a great sense of crisis, so he spent most of his time exercising or practicing martial arts in the hotel.

A few days ago, he was a little slack mentally, including in his daily exercise time, because he did not have too much pressure. But since the attack in the parking lot, even if he had other things to do every day, the time he spent on physical exercise would not be less than twelve hours.

For ordinary people, working twelve hours a day is quite tiring, not to mention twelve hours, or sometimes even fifteen or sixteen hours of high-intensity exercise. It is only because of his strong physique and strong recovery ability that he could not have endured it every day.

This is of course also the reason why his various physical data, including skill proficiency, can improve so quickly.

Li Ang packed his luggage and started walking out of the hotel. This was the first time he had come out of the hotel since entering the hotel after the recording of the show. His destination was the airport.

At the hotel entrance, the shuttle bus provided by the hotel he booked was already waiting. Not far away on the road, two policemen were arguing with two road commuters next to a car.

Li Ang walked to the hotel's business car. He had to say that the model of this car was somewhat similar to the business car driven by the group of people who attacked him in the parking lot that day, except that this car had the logo of this hotel on it. Maybe this model was really popular.

The uniformed waiter smiled and gestured, indicating that Li Ang should get on the bus. Another waiter took Li Ang's luggage.

It’s true that this hotel, which costs more than a thousand dollars a night, is quite worth it and the service is quite good.

Even the hotel waiters were carefully selected, with good figures. Some of their smaller uniforms even highlighted their obviously gym-trained bodies. It seemed that they were selected for the wealthy female guests.

Li Ang looked at these people with interest, then slowly walked into the carriage.

In addition to the driver, there was actually a waiter in the car. After Li Ang got on the car, the two people who had originally served him also got on the car and were very considerate to fasten his seat belts for him.

Li Ang said with some amusement:
"You only sent me one person, but there are four of you. Looks like I have to pay a pretty hefty tip!"

"Sir, you are joking. After we send you to the airport, we still have the task of welcoming other guests."

The waiter who was already in the car explained.

The car started and slowly drove towards the road from the hotel entrance area, but was suddenly stopped by two policemen in front.

Li Ang looked out the window, and coincidentally, these were the two policemen he saw when he just came out. However, it seemed that they had not yet finished handling the previous case. The two men who had just argued with them were still standing nearby, and they came to check their car again. They were really dedicated.

At the request of the police, they stopped the car and prepared to get out for inspection.

When Li Ang reached out to unlock his seat belt, he suddenly found that after pressing the unlock button, the seat belt buckle did not pop out as expected. At the moment when he was stunned, the wrist of his hand that reached out to unlock the seat belt was suddenly half handcuffed.

It was obvious that this pair of handcuffs had been specially modified. The connecting chain in the middle had been lengthened and the other end had been locked under the car seat in advance.

"Oh, it seems like you're well prepared this time, and you even know how to play double insurance."

Li Ang grinned, without any expression of panic on his face.

At this time, the two policemen outside the car door had already pulled out their guns and pointed them at him. In an instant, Li Ang was trapped in a dead end, eight people against one person, and his body was restrained.

"Please give me your other hand as well."

The waiter who had just bent down and stretched out his hand to signal him to get in the car was now holding another handcuff in his hand, intending to lock both of his hands completely.

After all, before setting out on the mission, they had already heard that the target had killed two people and knocked out three others simply by relying on his own hands.

"What if I don't extend my hand? Will you shoot?"

Even facing the black muzzles of the guns of two policemen outside the car, Li Ang did not feel nervous.

There were several people around the car who noticed this scene, but they just watched from a distance because there were two policemen there with guns drawn, and no one called the police again.

From this point of view, their plan was quite successful. They achieved the goal of taking people hostage in a downtown area without attracting panic from the police or the public.

Li Ang's words actually silenced the two "policemen" outside, because the death order they received before setting out was that they must leave any person alive, and even if the target eventually escaped, they were not allowed to shoot at his vital parts.

After all, their ultimate goal is not to kill people, but to obtain the whereabouts of the psychic crystal from Leon.

Li Ang happened to grasp their psychology, but the slight difference was that Li Ang didn't know that they came for the crystal, but thought they came for his body.
