Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

"Uncle, I heard you were looking for me?"

Chen Yi walked to the front of the restaurant and said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ruian turned his head and saw that it was Chen Yi, so he couldn't help but smile.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Tianqi and the others behind Chen Yi.

"Who are these people?"

"Oh, they're my men. I joined a gang here and became a leader," Chen Yi said.

Chen Ruian's expression became complicated.

He originally wanted Chen Yi to come to the concession with him, but Chen Yi had joined a gang and obviously couldn't just quit.

Running away directly would be considered betraying the gang, which would cause a lot of trouble.

"Sigh, why did you join a gang before? I had someone send you a hundred silver dollars. It's not about getting rich, but it's enough to find a stable place to live in the foreign concession. It's safer than joining a gang," Chen Ruian said.

"Uncle, I don't want to rely on others. Besides, I've become a leader, not just an ordinary henchman. It's not that dangerous," Chen Yi said.

Joining a gang was now a fait accompli, and Chen Ruian could do nothing but sigh twice.

All I can do is sigh and say, "Our Chen family is indeed full of drive. Your father was the same. When soldiers came to the village to recruit men, everyone else avoided them, but he went straight up and begged to join."

Now we don't even know if they're alive or dead.

Chen Yi thought about it and agreed.

Although he was a time traveler, looking at the two generations of the Chen family, one was a soldier whose whereabouts are unknown, one was involved in gangs outside the concession, and the other was a respectable person inside the concession.

Who would have thought that these three people all came from the same village and were even family?

"Now that you've decided on your career path, I won't say much more. I'll just tell you that you must do your best to follow the path you've chosen."

"If you're going to join a gang, you should aim to become like Huang Jinrong or Boss Sheng," Chen Ruian said.

He also had some understanding of the gangs in Tianhai, and knew that the largest one was the Green Gang.

"Never associate with gangs that have offended foreigners; they're just asking for trouble. Take that martial arts master with the same name as you, for example," Chen Ruian warned.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I know what I'm doing," Chen Yi said.

Chen Ruian nodded, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a paper package.

He handed it to Chen Yi: "Although you've joined a gang, fighting and killing are the most useless things. Use this money to bribe your way up and down the ranks, and you'll be safer that way."

Chen Yi opened the paper package and took a look. Inside were deposit slips, each worth one hundred silver dollars, and there were ten in total.

That's a thousand silver dollars.

Although Chen Ruian was a manager at a bank in the concession, earning a generous salary.

But a thousand dollars was definitely his savings accumulated over many years.

Although a thousand silver dollars meant nothing to Chen Yi now, he appreciated the sentiment it represented.

"Uncle, you've given me so much, what about Auntie's..." Chen Yi hadn't forgotten that his uncle's wife was quite a handful.

"Don't worry, I hid all this money; she doesn't know," Chen Ruian said confidently.

Chen Yi's lips twitched slightly. He spoke as if he were the head of the household. This was just his private stash of money.

"I'm relieved to see you're safe. I'll head back to the concession now."

After a pause, Chen Ruian said, "Joining gangs can easily get you into trouble with the police. If you get arrested, just mention my name. I still have some influence with you."

Bank managers in the concessions still held considerable social standing.

"Of course, I'll definitely report it immediately. How could I not use my uncle's connections?" Chen Yi joked.

This playful banter lightened the atmosphere of the conversation. Chen Ruian then spoke a few words of concern to Chen Yi before getting up to leave.

"Uncle, let me ask you something. You mentioned earlier that you asked someone to deliver the money. I wonder who it was?" Chen Yi asked.

"The Rong Society member I found, named Zheng Yi, has a lot of influence in the dock market area. He can easily find you. What's wrong? Did you receive less money?" Chen Ruian asked.

"No, I was just asking. Uncle, you can go now," Chen Yi said with a smile.

Chen Ruian nodded and advised, "It doesn't matter if it's less, it's just a few dozen silver dollars. The Green Gang has a lot of influence, you don't want to make enemies for nothing."

"Don't worry, Uncle, I was just asking casually," Chen Yi said.

Chen Ruian glanced at Chen Yi's expression, and only left after confirming that he really had no intention of making a move.

Once Chen Ruian was out of sight, Chen Yi turned to Qin Tianqi and the others and said:

"Let the men get familiar with the situation for another day. Tomorrow night, we'll take action against the Green Gang at the dock market. That Zheng Yi guy, we must catch him, alive or dead."

Chen Ruian talked about a lot of money, but he didn't see a single copper coin.

It's one thing to be greedy, but to embezzle everything would be a unique occurrence.

However, even if only one copper coin is moved, one is still destined to die.

No one can steal his money.

This was the first time Qin Tianqi and the others had ever seen Chen Yi harbor such murderous intent towards someone.

He immediately replied sternly, "Yes, Master Yi."

Chen Yi was discussing taking action against the Green Gang.

In the foreign concession, the leaders of the three major martial arts schools also gathered at the Xingyi Martial Arts School.

"Old Liu, what brings you all here?"

"Amitabha! Benefactor Liu sent word that there's an urgent matter. Could it be that Master Huo's side is about to start the battle ahead of schedule?"

The two people speaking were an old man dressed only in coarse linen clothes.

The other one was bald on top, wearing a yellowish-brown monk's robe, looking exactly like a monk.

These two men were the training instructors in charge of the Hung Family Martial Arts School and the Buddha Fist Martial Arts School.

Hong Zhengwu, a martial arts instructor.

Master Wuxin.

Martial artists at higher levels are all in seclusion, attempting to break through the watershed of martial arts realms, and do not venture out.

Of course, if Master Huo and the Fighting Association were to make a move, they would definitely come out to watch.

Liu Hong smiled and said, "I've discovered a promising talent, an absolute martial arts genius."

Hong Zheng shook his head and said, "So what if he's a genius? Even Master Huo, who was already famous in the martial arts world, took more than ten years to reach the level of a master."

"The situation is changing rapidly. Even with Master Huo's talent, there are no more than ten years left."

"You don't need to say more. We already have a boy with that kind of talent. His progress in martial arts is amazing, but it's a real thing that more than ten years is a period that can't be shortened."

Master Wuxin clasped his hands together and sighed, "Benefactor Liu, there's no need to discuss the matter of genius anymore. Unless another martial arts expert emerges, it won't help the situation."

Liu Hong said, "What I mean is that another martial arts expert will emerge."

Their eyes lit up immediately.

He asked, "Could you perhaps be a martial arts master who has been cultivating deep in the mountains?"

Liu Hong shook his head: "No."

"Could it be one of those old buddies who recently broke through to a higher realm?"

"no."

"What exactly is going on? This martial arts expert couldn't have just popped out of a rock, could he?"

Liu Hong said, "I recently met a young man."

Hearing the words "young people".

Hong Zheng and Master Wuxin's interest immediately waned.

How can a martial arts master be associated with youth?
