Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

The outer concession was a place separated from the concession by only a thin line.

Because it was close to the concession, the security was much better than at the docks and shantytowns.

Therefore, many high-end shops have opened here.

For example, suit shops, photo studios, Western-style restaurants, and dance halls.

Although the people living in the outer concession were not as gentlemanly as those in the concession, they were all well-dressed and far better dressed than the people at the docks.

The Chamber of Commerce was located in the foreign concession, in a Western-style building, where people dressed in well-tailored suits could be seen coming and going from time to time.

"Master Yi, this is a branch of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. They manage all businesses outside the concession, including the dockside unloading business," Qin Tianqi said.

The two stood outside the Chamber of Commerce, their laborer-like appearance drawing glances from respectable passersby.

He wondered what those two dirty laborers were doing in this place.

"Let's go in and talk to their president."

Chen Yi held a box in his hand, and the head of the middle-aged martial arts master was inside the box.

After all, it was a respectable place like the foreign concession, and beheading someone in the street would easily attract the attention of the police.

After confirming the location of the Chamber of Commerce, Chen Yi strode forward and walked into the Chamber.

Qin Tianqi quickly followed behind.

Within the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, there are hired thugs to guard against any troublemakers.

Normally, these people don't have much to do because no one dares to cause trouble at the Chamber of Commerce.

But when Chen Yi and Qin Tianqi came in, they immediately perked up, finally able to stretch their muscles.

"Get out of here! Do you even know where this is? How dare you just wander in like that?"

The thugs, wielding sticks, came up and drove the two away.

Chen Yi casually slapped someone to the side.

The thug immediately felt dizzy and his ears ring, and he fell to the ground, unable to tell left from right.

Confused, she asked, "What happened? What's wrong with me?"

The other thugs were immediately intimidated and dared not step forward.

The Chamber of Commerce doesn't offer much money, so why risk your life?

"Is your guild leader here? I need to talk to him," Chen Yi said, looking around.

Ordinary laborers would feel inferior and lower their heads when they saw well-dressed people, and hurry past them.

However, the confidence Chen Yi exuded silenced the other members of the chamber of commerce.

"Please wait a moment." Someone ran to inform the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce.

A short while later, a man in a suit and tie came out: "My name is Zhao Jin. The branch president is usually in the concession. I'm the one in charge here. May I ask what business this friend has with you?"

Qin Tianqi whispered from the side, "Zhao Jin is the vice president of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce branch, and he is indeed in charge of the affairs on a regular basis."

Chen Yi nodded, looked at Zhao Jin, and said, "I'm in charge of the southern dock area now, and from now on, I'll be cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce."

"President Zhao, please transfer the Iron Body Martial Arts School business to me."

Zhao Jin had not yet responded to these words.

The others scoffed.

Iron Body Martial Arts School has been making a lot of advertisements in the newspaper lately. Since the people in the Chamber of Commerce read the newspaper every day, they naturally learned about Iron Body Martial Arts School.

Although he was defeated by the foreigners and joined the fighting association, only his reputation was damaged.

With the support of foreigners, its actual strength is probably even greater than before.

Although the dock business is only part of the Iron Body Martial Arts School business, it's still quite amusing that someone suddenly came along wanting to take it over.

Zhao Jin chuckled and said, "Friend, are you here just to joke with me?"

Chen Yi smiled in response to the laughter around him.

It was as if he was forcing a smile.

He weighed the box in his hand, then suddenly slammed it forward.

The impact carried the force of a mountain retreat, shattering the box into pieces on the ground.

The contents inside splattered out with blood, rolling forward several meters before stopping.

This action immediately caught the attention of everyone in the chamber of commerce, who looked toward the object that had rolled out.

It was a dark, reddish, round thing.

Upon closer inspection, and recognizing the item, the members of the Chamber of Commerce turned deathly pale.

It was a human head with disheveled hair.

Zhao Jin was also startled, but as the vice president, he had a strong mentality and quickly regained his composure.

His face showed a mixture of anger and sternness as he said, "Are you here to cause trouble? Do you think you can scare people like this?"

"President Zhao, why don't you take another look?"

Chen Yi said with a smile.

Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes, sensing something unusual in Chen Yi's words.

Could it be.

A thought popped into his head, causing a light sweat to break out on his forehead.

To confirm his guess, he looked at the head more carefully again.

Finally, they recognized the disheveled head.

Shocked and furious, he couldn't help but shout out, "Martial Arts Master Li!"

After he said that, the others also took another look at the head.

At this point, everyone recognized who had taken the head.

It was Li Wushi, the martial arts instructor who was originally sent by the Iron Body Martial Arts School to be in charge of the southern section of the dock.

The entire chamber of commerce fell into a deathly silence.

Those who had laughed earlier couldn't help but want to hide themselves further inside.

They were afraid the other party would hold a grudge and thus become their target.

After all, the head of a martial arts master from the prestigious Iron Body Martial Arts School has been taken and brought here.

Upon seeing the members of the Chamber of Commerce, they all showed expressions of fear.

Chen Yi was very satisfied and felt at ease.

They brought the severed heads here just to witness this scene.

I've had enough of those fearful faces.

Chen Yi began to speak.

After providing enough deterrence, it's time to offer some incentives.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing that the Chamber of Commerce transferred the dock business to me. After all, Iron Body Martial Arts School has become the foreigners' lackey. If the Chamber of Commerce continues to do business with them, it will probably affect its reputation."

"Furthermore, since the Iron Body Martial Arts School has become the foreigners' lackeys, the Martial Arts Association will no longer care about them. In fact, some martial arts masters may even come to cause trouble for them. There is no need to worry about the Martial Arts Association."

"In the end, killing one person is the same as killing two people. I am not afraid of Iron Body Martial Arts School seeking revenge. If they come to the Chamber of Commerce to demand an explanation, let them come to me. This matter will not affect the Chamber of Commerce."

"What does Chairman Zhao think?"

Chen Yi's words outlined all the possible consequences and provided concrete solutions.

Zhao Jin shifted his gaze from the martial arts master's head to Chen Yi.

His expression was quite complex.

I thought Chen Yi was just some clueless hothead who came from nowhere and only had martial arts skills.

Therefore, even if he saw the head of the Iron Body Martial Arts School master, he still didn't want to cooperate with Chen Yi.

He only wanted to play along for now, send Chen Yi back, and then deal with him slowly.

A hothead with only martial arts skills can't go to the police station, the inspection office, or directly to the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

They could all mess with him to death.

However, after listening to Chen Yi's analysis, Zhao Jinfa realized that Chen Yi was not only not reckless, but also extremely insightful and definitely a smart person.

The wisest course of action is to cooperate with intelligent people, especially intelligent people who possess military power.

Of course, there is another reason: since they are smart people, if they try to be perfunctory, they will probably be seen through immediately.

The other party is a ruthless killer who can even kill martial arts masters. If he is recognized, he will probably die here.

After careful consideration, Zhao Jin finally made a decision.

He said, "I can transfer the business at the southern dock to you."
