Chapter 500: One scholar, one warrior; you should all learn from them.
“Uncle Min is a big shot in the underworld,” Chief Huang cleared his throat, his tone serious, and patted the arm of the man beside him. “He’s been in the gang for thirty years, he’s been through thick and thin, what storms hasn’t he weathered? From now on, he’ll teach you all the rules and tricks of the gang, as well as the skills of reading people and speaking to people in different ways during negotiations—these are your life-saving assets for going undercover, do you hear me?”
Uncle Min nodded slightly to the four people, including Rhino Skin, with a faint smile that seemed to be playing on his lips. He didn't say a word, but the sense of age in his eyes, coupled with his calm aura, instantly quieted the noisy ward.
Director Huang changed the subject, pointing to the young man standing beside him, his tone now carrying a hint of warning: "The second one is Ding Ge, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department. Don't let his young age fool you, he's the gang's undisputed number one fighter, with unparalleled freestyle fighting skills. From now on, all your 'martial arts' will be under his control—he's your discipline director. If you dare to disobey, you'll have to consider the consequences."
Ding Ge is at least 1.9 meters tall, with a burly build like a small mountain. His black tight vest accentuates his well-defined muscles, and the tattoo on his biceps is faintly visible.
His face was sharply defined, with high brow bones and a fierce look in his eyes. A shallow scar on his forehead, extending from his eyebrow to his temple, added to his menacing aura.
Upon hearing Director Huang's introduction, he merely twitched the corners of his mouth and let out a disdainful sneer, his voice rough and hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against wood:
"What kind of fighting techniques are these? They're all just empty talk. In the underworld, there's no such thing as being polite. You either knock someone down or get beaten so badly you can't get up. Killing is killing, and living is living. What's with all the pretense of being civilized?"
Upon hearing this, the air in the ward seemed to freeze instantly, becoming so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Rhino Skin rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself: Isn't that obvious? Everyone knows how dangerous it is to be in the underworld. If it weren't for the undercover mission, no one would bother with this kind of suffering.
Director Huang seemed to have anticipated Ding Ge's response, and he clapped his hands, breaking the tense atmosphere:
"Alright, both instructors have been introduced. From today onwards, Uncle Min will be in charge of 'literary skills,' teaching you to understand the rules and be adaptable; Brother Ding will be in charge of 'martial skills,' teaching you to fight and survive. Study hard, and only when you've mastered these skills can you truly infiltrate the gang and complete your undercover mission. Now, training officially begins!"
The rhinoceros hide, monk fruit, rehmannia root, and flower tower cake exchanged glances, each seeing helplessness in the other's eyes.
Now that things have come to this, they really have no other choice.
Fortunately, Director Huang had made proper arrangements in advance. Although they looked disheveled, they only had minor injuries that did not affect their activities.
However, they still felt lingering fear when they thought about how many prisoners had beaten them before.
They slowly got off the bed, patted the wrinkles on their hospital gowns, and stood in a neat row.
About ten minutes later, the hospital bed was pushed to a corner, and a makeshift blackboard was placed in the center of the room. Uncle Min picked up a pointer and cleared his throat:
"Alright, let's begin the first lesson." He pointed to the three large characters "Triads" written in white chalk on the blackboard and began in a calm tone, "What are Triads? Remember this: Don't get involved in Triads if you're not poor."
