Li Yang didn't care about any of that. There were no cameras or bastards around. Even if I beat you to death, no one would see it.
With a low growl, he stomped his feet, twisted his waist, and was about to slam him to the ground, rendering him completely powerless to resist.
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: "Stop! That's enough..."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed out of the residential area. He was dressed in casual clothes, with a dignified and imposing expression. His eyes were bright and piercing. He was accompanied by a beautiful and charming young woman. Who else could it be but Zhao Lihua?
Even a fool could tell that this man was none other than his father-in-law, Zhao Yunlong.
"Oh." Li Yang let go of the gatekeeper, who landed in mid-air. He was already seriously injured and staggered a few times before he regained his balance.
Zhao Yunlong rushed over to help him up and asked with concern, "Xiao Lin, are you alright?"
"It's alright, Director Zhao! He'll be fine after a few days of rest. But this young man has some impressive skills. If I'm not mistaken, he's practicing Bagua Willow Leaf Cotton Silk Palm! This is a very profound skill, and along with Tai Chi and Xingyi, it's one of the three major internal martial arts in my country. Mastering it is extremely impressive."
These skills are passed down very secretly, and what's popular now is mostly just the basics. To have such skill at such a young age is truly remarkable! Young man, have you received the true teachings?
The man Zhao Yunlong called Xiao Lin stared intently at Li Yang and asked.
Zhao Yunlong was also shocked when he heard about the Bagua Willow Leaf Cotton Silk Palm. After all, he was a former special forces soldier and a martial arts practitioner. He had learned some internal martial arts in the army, but he only scratched the surface and did not receive the true teachings. He never expected that this kid in front of him had actually received the true teachings? And he was even in a relationship with his daughter?
Li Yang looked at the gatekeeper and feigned surprise, saying, "You, you know each other? Is this on purpose?"
"Hehe, I'm Lin Feng, the captain of the city's criminal investigation team. Your name is Li Yang, right? We're all on the same side from now on. I'll call you 'brother,' and you can call me 'Brother Lin,' okay?" Lin Feng was just that straightforward and generous, or perhaps he was too good at navigating the social dynamics of officialdom. He immediately tried to get close to Li Yang. Clearly, with Li Yang's abilities, background, and strength, Zhao Yunlong was definitely going to be his father-in-law!
"Ah, Brother Lin, you're too kind. I was truly blind to your greatness just now, I'm so sorry!" Li Yang hurriedly came forward to apologize and make amends.
"Hehe... You really don't know Mount Tai. I'm not your Mount Tai! Haha..." Lin Feng was very presumptuous in front of Zhao Yunlong. Obviously, his relationship with Zhao Yunlong was extremely close, as could be seen from the fact that Zhao Yunlong asked him to come and test him.
"Brother Lin, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhao Lihua blushed and complained to Lin Feng, but her eyes were full of joy.
"Am I talking nonsense? Then just pretend I didn't say anything!" Lin Feng chuckled, not taking it to heart.
"Alright, everyone go inside. Don't stand here anymore." Zhao Yunlong spoke up, glanced at Li Yang, and stopped pursuing the question about his evasive answer to the question about the Eight Trigrams Willow Leaf Cotton Silk Palm.
As long as he knows what's going on, that's fine.
The group arrived at Zhao Yunlong's home, a three-bedroom, one-living-room house of over 100 square meters. The decoration was not luxurious, but it was extremely charming, with a classical cultural flavor everywhere.
Could it be that Director Zhao's future father-in-law is a lover of traditional Chinese culture?
"Come on, sit down and have a cup of tea. Lin Feng, if you're not feeling well, go back and rest," Zhao Yunlong said, glancing at Lin Feng. This kid's injuries were quite severe.
Li Yang admires those who can still chat and laugh so easily.
Lin Feng's face paled slightly, and he forced a smile, saying, "Brother Li Yang's palm technique is truly powerful. I, the number one Sanda fighter in the police force, have been defeated! I really need to go back and recuperate properly! Then I'll take my leave!"
"I'm so sorry, I'll visit Brother Lin another day!" Li Yang said apologetically.
"Hehe, okay! I'll be waiting. Goodbye, Director Zhao!" Lin Feng took a deep breath, got up, and walked out.
"Lihua, see Xiaolin off!" Zhao Yunlong said, sitting upright.
"Okay." Zhao Lihua got up to see them off, and Li Yang followed her out.
When the two returned, there was three cups of tea on the table, which the nanny had prepared.
"Li Yang, try this authentic Lion Peak Longjing tea, it tastes great!" Zhao Yunlong offered the tea, then picked up the cup and took a sip himself.
"Yes, try some. My dad's tea-making skills are top-notch, especially his gongfu tea!" Zhao Lihua cheerfully urged Li Yang, then picked up the teacup, parted her lips slightly, took a sip, and winked contentedly, looking incredibly tempting.
Although Li Yang is very powerful and capable now, he comes from an ordinary poor family. While he has a vast amount of knowledge, he has very little experience of the pleasures of life.
Chapter 243: Bandit's Name
This was the first time I'd ever tried Lion Peak Longjing tea like this, and I couldn't really taste anything special. But I still smiled and agreed that it tasted good.
Zhao Yunlong smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Li Yang, do you know anything about tea ceremony?" Zhao Yunlong asked casually.
Damn, the interrogation is starting already? Lin Feng's statement just now only told Zhao Yunlong that he had passed that test. Damn it, how many more tests are there for Zhao Yunlong? Am I supposed to pass five tests and defeat six generals?
The only veteran here is Zhao Yunlong. If I were to kill him, wouldn't Zhao Lihua sever ties with Hongyan? It seems we'll have to settle things through a battle of wits.
Although I'm a little nervous and guilty, damn it, I'm not afraid of anyone now!
"I know a little bit. The book says that the best water for brewing tea is spring water, followed by river water, and the worst is well water!" Li Yang said, quoting Lu Yu's "The Classic of Tea".
"Oh, this is a saying from the 'Classic of Tea,' but it's somewhat outdated and inaccurate." Zhao Yunlong really knows a lot about classical culture. No wonder this guy likes brewing tea so much; brewing tea is the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
"Oh. But it seems that the scene in 'Dream of the Red Chamber' where Miaoyu brews tea is a classic passage about tea brewing. I think she used collected snow water to brew the tea!" Li Yang added. He could recite "Dream of the Red Chamber" by heart, so it was normal for him to remember such a scene. Besides, Miaoyu brewing tea is indeed a classic passage in Redology studies.
Zhao Yunlong's expression shifted, his brows relaxed, and he seemed about to say something. Zhao Lihua, however, spoke first, saying, "My father is a member of the Redology Society in this city; he has a deep understanding of 'Dream of the Red Chamber.'"
"Damn, I actually guessed right!" Li Yang felt a surge of satisfaction. Damn, his grandson who loves traditional Chinese culture really does love studying the Four Great Classical Novels like Dream of the Red Chamber!
Although Zhao Yunlong didn't beam with excitement upon hearing this, he was in high spirits and suddenly stood up, saying, "Let's not talk about this here, let's go to the study!"
Zhao Lihua turned around and made a face at Li Yang, but it was a teasing and encouraging gesture. She stuck out her tongue, licked her lips, and wiggled her tongue, which made Li Yang feel a surge of heat. If such a tender tongue were to lick the little monk, would it feel amazing?
Zhao Yunlong's study is very large, almost occupying half of the entire apartment building. The furniture, the vase in the corner, and the landscape and bird paintings on the wall all display a harmonious and antique style.
A window faces outwards, offering a view of the neighborhood's landscape, with its artificial hills, flowing water, and lush trees. The rustling bamboo leaves add a unique charm, creating a picturesque scene within the window.
Li Yang sighed inwardly. He never imagined that Zhao Yunlong, the ruthless figure who specialized in arresting people, would be such a refined person.
It's so cold outside that even pee can freeze solid, but indoors it's warm and cozy. Air conditioning is truly a wonderful thing. It makes you feel so comfortable.
