“Jianfei, that should be it. This morning, my people observed a black Mercedes-Benz sedan with a license plate from the provincial capital, D city, driving into the underground garage at Hongchang. According to my analysis, Sister Hong must have invited a gambling expert from the provincial capital.” Chen Yaohui said quickly on the other end of the phone, “Xiao Gao, before calling you, I had already consulted with various parties and obtained some information.”
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei hurriedly asked, "What information?"
Chen Yaohui said calmly, “Jianfei, listen to me. You caused trouble at Sister Hong’s casino last night, and she immediately brought in outside help today. This means that the people who came to help her must be gambling experts from within the province, not from other provinces. Considering the Mercedes with the D city license plate, we can conclude that the people Sister Hong brought must be gambling experts from the underground casinos in D city. I checked with Huang Bojun on the official website of the World Gambling Association. In D city, there is only one underground force, and this provincial capital underground force is the most powerful underground force in the entire province! Its strength is far greater than any underground force in our G province! The leader of this underground force is called ‘Uncle Yao,’ and there are a total of 5 gambling experts in the casinos he operates!”
Hearing Chen Yaohui say this, Gao Jianfei also perked up his ears and listened carefully.
Now, things are clear... The gambling expert hired by Sister Hong must be one of the five gambling experts kept by Uncle Yao, or several of them.
“Jianfei, Uncle Yao has five gambling experts under his command. Listen carefully. Their world rankings are... 61, 69, 72, 81, and 108,” Chen Yaohui said slowly.
“Hmm. 61, 69, 72, 81, 108…” Gao Jianfei repeated to himself, “Okay, I understand.”
“These gambling experts, judging from their world rankings, pose no threat to you, Jianfei. Since Sister Hong has already hired external gambling experts, it means she has tacitly accepted the rules of the gambling world and is ready to compete with us at the gambling table! Therefore… Jianfei, let’s go there tonight! I’ve brought all the contracts and agreements from the Dongxing Casino. Tonight, we’ll have a big game with Sister Hong! We’ll gamble directly on both casinos!” Chen Yaohui said emphatically.
At Dongxing Casino, gamble at Sister Hong's casino!
For the underground forces, this is clearly a high-stakes gamble!
"Heh, Yaohui, it seems you have a lot of confidence in me. That puts a lot of pressure on me," Gao Jianfei joked. "Alright, 8 pm tonight, wait for me at the entrance of Sister Hong's casino."
"K, Jianfei, see you tonight!" Chen Yaohui hung up the phone with a smile.
After ending his call with Chen Yaohui, Gao Jianfei began preparing for the betting match that evening.
Although Gao Jianfei knew that his gambling skills had probably surpassed Chen Yifeng's, making him the world's best, he dared not be careless. He told himself that he must take every match seriously.
Because losing any match could lead to complete disgrace!
Casinos are actually more terrifying than battlefields!
Gao Jianfei took a short nap before getting up to eat dinner. At 7 p.m., Gao Jianfei went out.
With a cigarette dangling from my lips, I relaxed and strolled around the neighborhood for a while, enjoying the beautiful sunset. Feeling quite pleased with myself, I then headed outside the neighborhood.
Unbeknownst to Gao Jianfei, outside the residential area, there was an SUV with five young monks inside, who were patiently waiting for him.
Inside the SUV, several monks were smoking, eating packaged beef jerky, and drinking canned beer, enjoying themselves immensely, while chatting amongst themselves.
"Fellow monks, the security in this Nanhu International Community is really good. We monks aren't allowed to enter the community..."
"Our master told us to keep watch, but we can't even get into the residential area. How are we supposed to find out where that kid lives? All we know is that his family lives in this neighborhood!"
"Quiet down! Aren't monks supposed to have a tranquil mind and be free from worldly desires? We'll be patient and wait patiently. I don't believe that family will stay in the neighborhood, go shopping, or not buy anything. Just wait! One word: wait!"
"Yes, in a few days it will be Master's sixtieth birthday. We grew up with Master since we were little, and we know his temperament and preferences very well. When Master saw that female benefactor today, hey, he seemed a little absent-minded. If we personally bring that female benefactor back, Master will definitely give us some kind of reward!"
Several monks were chatting loudly, drinking heavily, and smoking, filling the carriage with smoke and the stench of alcohol. Just then…
"Hey! That kid's leaving the complex! Look!" A sharp-eyed monk peered out through the crack in the car window and saw Gao Jianfei walking out of the complex with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Get out of the car! Block that kid! Quickly!"
The monks were a bit drunk, and the alcohol was making them lose their minds. In addition, they had been staking out this spot for a whole day, which was quite tiring. Now that they finally saw their target appear, they didn't care about anything and just opened the car door and rushed out!
Chapter 184 Monk, Internal Martial Arts
Chapter 184 Monk, Internal Martial Arts
There are no bus stops outside the Nanhu International Community; you have to walk a distance. In fact, this is already an affluent area; 70% of the people who can afford to buy homes here own a car. This area used to be rural and suburban. Those who buy homes here are financially well-off and seek tranquility, good air quality, and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
As Gao Jianfei strolled along, he wondered if he should buy a car too. He could then casually pick up a level 2 ghost who could drive, learn to drive, and spend some money to get a driver's license…
As he pondered this, Gao Jianfei's ears twitched slightly, and gusts of wind rushed in from all directions! Just as he looked up, he heard a Buddhist chant, which exploded in his ears…
"Amitabha! Please wait, benefactor!"
What follows is a faint smell of nicotine and alcohol!
This is truly bizarre and outrageous. To mix "Amitabha" with the smell of smoke and alcohol is an absurd thing, one that's rare indeed!
Then, five monks surrounded Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei glanced around... five young monks, all between 25 and 30 years old, wearing dark blue robes, with round, smooth bald heads covered with freckles like the nine of bamboo in mahjong.
"What?" Gao Jianfei said coldly. Seeing these monks, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but think of Qingyan Cave Temple. He felt both angry and curious… In this whole city, only Qingyan Cave Temple had monks, and these five monks were probably runaways from there. But why were they blocking my way?
"Amitabha! Today, our temple has uttered absurd words that have insulted the Buddha. We have come here specifically to invite you to come with us and personally repent before the Buddha for your sins!" One of the monks, with several large bumps on his forehead, looked at Gao Jianfei with a cold and disdainful gaze. Judging from his attitude, he seemed to have extreme contempt for Gao Jianfei.
The other four monks also looked at Gao Jianfei with the same unbridled gaze... "Please come over, benefactor!"
This is tantamount to kidnapping and robbing people!
"These monks are incredibly audacious!" Gao Jianfei thought to himself, immediately guessing what was going on... Today at Qingyan Cave Temple, an old monk kept saying he could avert some kind of bloodshed for Xiaoxian, and then led us to a forbidden area in the side room. Before that, I overheard those young monks spewing a lot of vulgarities. Could it be that they... they wanted to sexually assault Xiaoxian? Damn! I caught them red-handed then, and now... now they've actually come to my doorstep!
Is this still a monk?
These are pretty much the thugs of the underworld!
Gao Jianfei had a rough idea of what was going on, but he felt no anger yet, only immense confusion, astonishment, and disbelief!
The five monks grew even more ferocious. They approached Gao Jianfei directly and glared at him with a cruel look that was completely unlike that of monks!
If they grew hair right now, they'd look just like those thugs!
In fact, these monks are more troublesome and worse than local thugs!
The reason is simple: these monks have spent their lives in the monastery since childhood. To be honest, they're not very educated. They can recite a few Buddhist scriptures, but know very little about morality and etiquette. Furthermore, they've practiced martial arts since childhood, possessing some real skill, which makes them increasingly disdainful of ordinary people! These monks have previously fought with thugs outside the monastery, usually one monk taking down ten strong thugs, leaving them begging for mercy on the ground. Another factor is that the monks have powerful backers: Sister Hong, the big boss of the underworld in ZG city. The monks are also wealthy; Qingyan Cave Temple is constantly crowded with worshippers, and the monks there are already rolling in money.
In conclusion, a group of monks who don't know much about the law, are good at fighting, have connections, and are rich will naturally act in an extremely domineering and tyrannical manner!
At this moment, a monk let out a burp from drinking and then grabbed Gao Jianfei's wrist!
The move was incredibly fast; the monk's hand made an arc in the air and skillfully grabbed Gao Jianfei's right wrist!
"Don't move! If I use my strength, your hand will be ruined!" The monk, drunk, has started referring to himself as "I" now.
Gao Jianfei was in a state of shock from having his common sense overturned, so he was caught off guard and his wrist was suddenly grabbed!
Of course, Gao Jianfei had learned the "Dislocating Tendons and Bones Hand" from Zhu Cong, a martial art of grappling and counter-grappling. Now, Gao Jianfei could easily break free from the monks' grasp, even grabbing their wrists in return. However, Gao Jianfei's eyes lit up… these monks were utter thugs! They absolutely had to be taught a lesson!
However, there were a few passersby outside the residential area, so it wasn't safe to start a fight here. Therefore, Gao Jianfei decided to lead the monks to the back of a small hill on the left, where it was a relatively deserted and undeveloped area with few people around.
"What? Want to fight? Go over there! Come with me!" Gao Jianfei grabbed the monk who was holding him and dragged him to the left.
"Pfft..." The five monks burst out laughing. "Fight? You think you can fight us with your delicate skin?"
“This little benefactor is really asking for trouble. Alright, let us senior brothers give you some pointers.” The monk who had grabbed Gao Jianfei’s wrist followed Gao Jianfei’s steps and walked to the left.
The monk thought to himself, "I just caught Gao Jianfei so easily with one of my grappling techniques. Come to think of it, Gao Jianfei is really a novice! He's not even as good as an ordinary street thug!"
It's absolutely laughable that Gao Jianfei would volunteer to fight!
So, the five monks, with extremely lewd smiles, surrounded Gao Jianfei and walked to the left.
After walking more than a hundred meters, they bypassed a hill that had been half blown away by explosives, passed a dried-up pond, and finally arrived at several barren and dry farmlands.
All around was quiet, except for the chirping of crickets.
There were also some used condoms, used sanitary napkins, and some excrement scattered haphazardly on the farmland.
The monk who had been holding Gao Jianfei released his hand and grinned at him, "Little benefactor, want to fight? Do you want to fight one-on-one, or one-on-five? Ha! How ridiculous!"
The other four monks also joined in the jeering and laughter.
"By the way, before you open it, I want to ask, what kind of monks are you? Your arrogance is making me wonder if I've traveled through time!" Gao Jianfei said. "Also, what's the meaning of you blocking my way and trying to kidnap me?"
"Gurgle..." The monk who had grabbed Gao Jianfei's wrist earlier let out a burp. "Kid, stop talking nonsense! Just remember, we monks are high-ranking monks of Qingyan Cave! In our eyes, mortals like you are nothing but ants! Also, we monks aren't interested in you. As for your beautiful wife, tsk, our master has taken a liking to her, so he wants to take her home for a nap. Alright, we monks aren't kidnapping you. Now that we've made things clear, call your wife right now and tell her to come out so we can take her away. As for you, forget it, you can go home and have some fun!"
nausea!
When Gao Jianfei heard the monks openly declare that they wanted to sexually assault his wife, Chen Xian, he felt nauseous! At the same time, a surge of immense anger welled up within him!
Just now, Gao Jianfei only intended to teach these monks a lesson, but now he's decided to go all out! He won't kill them, he'll cripple them!
"Alright, alright, I've learned something new today!" Gao Jianfei nodded, and suddenly, he moved his feet and darted to within half a meter of the monk who had just grabbed his wrist!
Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit!
In a flash, Gao Jianfei leaned his shoulder against the monk, directly pressing against the monk's chest, tripped, and silently cried out... "Fall!"
This is exactly the empty-body fist technique I learned from Zhu Cong!
It is a set of boxing techniques that Zhu Cong comprehended from the Eighteen Falling Techniques. It emphasizes using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, using skill to overcome force, and throwing the enemy away in one go. This is equivalent to applying several times the force of one's own body weight to the enemy. The enemy will inevitably be thrown around, knocking out teeth and breaking bones!
However, this sneak attack did not produce the result Gao Jianfei had expected!
The monk was thrown back five or six steps, his body swaying like a roly-poly toy, seemingly about to fall, but he managed to steady himself at the last moment!
What a solid base!
Gao Jianfei was startled, but his thoughts and actions were not slow. Taking advantage of the monk's hasty retreat, Gao Jianfei rushed up and unleashed the Foshan Shadowless Kick!
"Smack!"
He kicked the monk in the left ribs!
However, Gao Jianfei felt that although his kick landed solidly, it felt like he had kicked a sponge! It was weak; his full strength seemed to be absorbed by a strange suction force, leaving only 50% to hit the monk!
"ah!"
The monk screamed and was finally sent flying sideways, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air!
"...He's a trained martial artist!" The other four monks immediately surrounded him, their eyes wide and fierce, using their aura to lock onto Gao Jianfei!
The monk who had been kicked away by Gao Jianfei crashed to the ground with a thud, several bones broken. He screamed in pain and roared angrily, "Brothers, kill him! Kill this brat! Kill him!"
In this move, Gao Jianfei went all out. He had put in a lot of effort to knock down that monk! Before, whether dealing with the folk martial artists in G province or Song Zhui's bodyguards, Gao Jianfei had never launched such a continuous attack, using both empty fist and shadowless kick in succession to defeat them!
This indirectly proves that these monks are at least more skilled than the folk martial artists in G province!
However, having already defeated one, we must defeat the next four!
Suddenly, the remaining four monks began to walk in strange steps, circling around Gao Jianfei's body as if they were satellites!
Their steps followed a special pattern, moving with fluid grace and exceptional ease, as if... there were no flaws to be found!
"Hmph! You've only learned a little external martial arts, and you dare to act wildly in front of the Buddha! Today, I'll show you what internal martial arts are all about!" A monk grinned maliciously at Gao Jianfei, then suddenly stepped forward, closing in on him!
Chapter 185 Murder to Silence!
Chapter 185 Murder to Silence!
Four monks were circling around Gao Jianfei. One of them suddenly darted towards Gao Jianfei! His footwork was not particularly large or fast. It seemed that he just took a light step and suddenly appeared in front of Gao Jianfei!
At this moment, Gao Jianfei no longer had time to ponder what the monks had just said about "internal martial arts" and "external martial arts"!
Now, the goal is to defeat all these monks!
