The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 44: I am Chen Tiansheng

Wang Yi stepped out of the study, put the secret book in his arms, and sent it into the void space.

He nodded to the yamen runners around him, and walked out of the government office holding the wooden box containing the short gun. The harvest of this trip made him feel very happy, and his steps became lighter.

As soon as I walked out of the government office gate, I saw Yan Zhendong coming with a dozen business guards, escorting five foreigners with bruised faces and noses.

He stopped in surprise, and when Yan Zhendong and his group approached, he frowned and asked, "What's going on? Did something happen at the dock again?"

"I've met my boss!"

The guards all bowed respectfully.

Yan Zhendong clasped his fists and explained, "Sir, these guys are the foreigners who shot and killed the three laborers. They were recovering from their injuries when we searched the merchant ship, so I brought people to capture them."

Wang Yi's expression softened upon hearing this and he waved his hand, saying, "Then hurry up and talk to the bailiffs and send them to the prison." After that, he handed the wooden box in his hand to Yan Zhendong and walked away.

Yan Zhendong took the wooden box, bowed in unison with the others, and escorted the five foreigners directly into the yamen.

……

"My little friend, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Wang Yi had just walked a short distance when he was stopped by an old man.

The old man was dressed in a simple and neat blue cloth gown. Under his melon-shaped hat, a few strands of white hair fluttered in the wind, setting off his wrinkled face. His eyes were bright as stars, sparkling with alertness and wisdom.

His hands were rough and powerful, with bulging veins, his body was straight and he stood like a pine tree. He was obviously a warrior with strong strength.

"When asking someone to talk about something, should he introduce himself?" Wang Yi lowered his eyes slightly, and his muscles tensed instantly. He felt a great threat from the other party. The man was definitely a master of dark energy.

"My name is Chen Tiansheng." Chen Tiansheng bowed with a faint smile on his face.

"It's you?" Wang Yi frowned suddenly. The other party's arrival was beyond his expectations.

Chen Tiansheng smiled peacefully, leaned over and gestured, "Young friend, may I have a word with you now?"

Wang Yi looked thoughtful and nodded, saying, "Okay, Mr. Chen, follow me." After that, he walked around the other party and slowly walked towards Limin Commercial Bank.

He was very curious about the other party's purpose, but no matter how curious he was, he couldn't put himself in danger. He could talk, but the location had to be chosen by him.

"Interesting..." Chen Tiansheng whispered, his lips slightly curved, revealing an amused smile. He waved to the guards in the crowd around him, put his hands behind his back, and followed with steady steps.

The two of them walked slowly, one in front and one behind, on the crowded street. No one spoke along the way. After turning a few corners, they arrived at the gate of Liming Commercial Bank.

"Hello, sir."

"I've met my boss."

"The boss is well."

……

When the guards at the door and all the people in the lobby saw Wang Yi coming, they immediately put down what they were doing, stood up, bowed respectfully and greeted him.

More than fifty young and strong women in ragged clothes gathered in the hall. These were the people rescued from the foreign ships. After hearing what the people around them said, they turned around and knelt on the ground, expressing their gratitude with tears in their voices:

"Thank you so much, my benefactor..."

"You are truly a living Bodhisattva. Thank you for saving us..."

"Your kindness is great, and we have no way to repay you. We wish..."

……

Wang Yi showed a gentle smile, and hurried into the hall, helping the people who were kneeling on the ground one by one. After everyone calmed down, he said loudly:

"My fellow villagers, I just happened to meet you. The word 'benefactor' is a bit heavy. I have guests to entertain. Let's talk again when we are free another day."

After saying this, he bowed with an apologetic look on his face, turned his head to look at Chang Wei and Afu in the distance and ordered: "Chang Wei, Afu, prepare a pot of good tea and send it to the inner room, and by the way, go to Yuelai Inn to get a table of wine and food." "Okay, boss." Chang Wei and Afu responded, and then went to work separately.

"Mr. Chen, please, let's talk in the inner room." Wang Yi turned around and looked at Chen Tiansheng behind him, gesturing with his hand.

Chen Tiansheng withdrew his gaze from the guards around him, smiled, followed Wang Yi and walked towards the inner room.

The two of them came to the table and sat down, looking at each other quietly, and no one spoke first.

After a while, Ah Fu came over with a wooden tray with a pot of steaming hot tea on it. He poured a cup for each of them, then bowed silently and left.

Chen Tiansheng picked up the teacup and blew on it, then said with a faint smile, "The person you are waiting for should be here soon."

Wang Yi picked up the teacup and nodded frankly, "It should be soon."

After the words fell, the room fell into silence again, with only the sound of two people sipping tea.

A quarter of an hour later, footsteps were heard at the door. Li Yuan walked into the room calmly, glanced at Chen Tiansheng at the table, and slowly walked over to sit beside him.

The dozen or so guards in black clothes behind him, as well as the guards brought by Chen Tiansheng, glanced inside the room at the door, and after seeing that there were only three people, they quietly left the lobby of Liming Commercial Bank.

Li Yuan picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. He put the teapot down and glanced at Chen Tiansheng. He asked bluntly, "What are you doing in Foshan, old man?"

Chen Tiansheng glanced at Li Yuan indifferently, and his tone was also not very polite: "What's the matter? Deputy Captain! Do I need to explain to you the reason why I am inspecting the branch hall?" The word "Deputy Captain" was pointed out by him with a specially emphasized tone.

Li Yuan's face trembled, and he responded bluntly: "Don't put on your airs as a helmsman. I won't fall for it. Just tell me the purpose of your coming to Foshan. I don't want to play tricks with you."

"Tsk... boring." Chen Tiansheng smiled faintly and shook his head, looking at Wang Yi and slowly said: "I heard that Foshan has a young hero, so I came here specially to meet him. Today's actions at the dock amazed me, so I wanted to pull you into the Hongmen. What do you think?"

Li Yuan refused without waiting for Wang Yi to reply: "No problem! I will arrange for you to join the sect. You can just go back to where you came from."

"What? You still want to force me to make a decision? You are worthy of being called Poison Monkey. Your domineering nature hasn't changed at all..."

"Hmph! Stop trying to sow discord. These little tricks are of little use."

……

Wang Yi's eyes searched between the two of them, listening quietly to their verbal exchange, without any intention of intervening.

Although he wanted to join the Hongmen, his desire was not very strong, especially after he got in touch with Admiral Nalan Yuande.

Rather than getting involved in meaningless power struggles, it is more practical to manage your own power.

If it weren't for the Hongmen's prominent status in the underworld, which helped him in his subsequent travels around the world, he really would have been indifferent to these gang forces.

"Old man, this is Foshan!"

"Old man, this is the Foshan branch of the Hongmen!"

"Old bastard, do you believe that I will make sure you can't leave Foshan?"

"Come on, come on, you old bastard, kill me if you have the guts!"

"Do you really think I dare not?"

"Come on, you cowardly monkey, show some courage and hit me in the heart with your monkey fist."

"I..."

……

Wang Yi looked at the two people who were originally exchanging witty remarks, but gradually turned into shrews and even showed signs of fighting. The corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

He had to cough and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, this small place of mine cannot stand the trouble from you two old men. Please give me some face and let us talk peacefully. How about that?"
