RPAGF Chapter 153 Xiahou Wu
Chapter 153 Xiahou Wu
After attending classes for just over a week, Li Jian obtained Teacher Bai's contact information.
Whenever Li Jian felt troubled, he would seek out Teacher Bai for an open and in-depth conversation.
Relieve some of the stress in your heart.
This evening.
Li Jian left Teacher Bai's dormitory.
When I passed by the grassland, I saw someone smoking on the fence of the grassland.
I went over to take a look.
It turned out to be Teacher Liu-Chen-Jianming.
Li Jian had long wanted to talk to Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen), but had not found a suitable opportunity.
"You smoke alone?"
Li Jian, trying to make conversation, said, "Give me one."
Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) was startled and quickly hid his cigarette. Only after recognizing the person did he nervously salute: "Li sir!"
Li Jian told Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) not to be so nervous, saying, "We're all classmates here. You can call me by my name, Li Jian, or you can call me Brother Jian. Anyway, I'm older than you, so you won't be at a disadvantage."
Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) respectfully said, "Brother Jian!"
Li Jian beckoned with his finger, took out a cigarette, and Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) quickly lit it for him.
Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) is from the underworld.
But he always wanted to be a good person.
As a result, Han Chen got him into the police station and promoted him all the way to the position of senior inspector.
Unfortunately, Han Chen didn't just support him; there were several other people with him.
In order to avoid being exposed, Liu Jianming had no choice but to keep searching for other undercover agents and then killing them.
However, Liu Jianming only killed one good person from beginning to end – Yang Jinrong (Li Tianwang).
Li Jian asked, "Can't you sleep?"
Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) said, "Yes, it's too stuffy in the dormitory, so we came out to get some fresh air."
Why?
“Brother Jian, I have a friend who’s a gangster. His boss is a woman, and he respects her a lot. But one day, the boss fell in love with another man, and he felt really uncomfortable. He wanted to confess to the boss, but he was afraid that if he did, they wouldn’t even be able to stay as brothers.”
At that time, Lau Kin-ming (Teacher Chan) was very handsome. In terms of looks, the only person in Hong Kong Island who could surpass him was probably Lee Kin.
Handsome men are usually attracted to other handsome men.
For some reason, Liu Jianming was willing to confide in Li Jian.
Li Jian put his hands behind his back and blew a smoke ring into the sky: "If you like someone, just confess! What's the use of having a crush? Whether it works out or not, you should get a result as soon as possible, otherwise you're just wasting your time."
And besides, is that man more handsome than you?
Liu Jianming pictured Han Chen (Eric Tsang) in his mind and quickly shook his head: "It's not about whether he's handsome or not. That man wouldn't even need makeup to play Wu Dalang."
Mary (Leung Chiu-wai's wife) is not a woman who judges people by their appearance. She can see into a man's heart and discover his strengths.
Mary once said that she would do anything for her man.
Li Jian suddenly laughed and said, "Is this Mary your boss?"
Liu Jianming covered his face: "Brother Jian, don't laugh at me, he's a friend of mine."
Li Jian patted Liu Jianming on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, he's your friend. But do you want to help your friend?"
"Yes, of course I want to! I dream about it!"
Liu Jianming grasped Li Jian's hand as if it were a lifeline.
Li Jian shrugged: "Actually, pursuing a woman is like catching a thief. It's all about being steady, accurate, and ruthless. Being steady means you have to be calm and composed. Don't easily reveal your feelings. Even if you like her, don't let her find out."
Liu Jianming said with a long face, "We're doomed. Mary is so smart, she must have found out."
Li Jian laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if she finds out. Women's intuition is very accurate. No matter how well a man hides it, a woman will still know that he likes her. As long as this woman doesn't dislike you, you still have a chance."
Liu Jianming was overjoyed: "Sister Mary doesn't dislike me, she even gave me some DVDs."
Li Jian said calmly, "Not disliking you is only the first step. Since your thoughts have been seen through, don't hide them. Just be open and honest. Remember, never become timid or hesitant because you care about a woman's feelings."
Not only will women not like you, they will also think you are useless and unreliable.
The stronger a woman is, the more she admires strength. If I'm not mistaken, the man she likes, though ugly, is incredibly brave—the kind of man who wouldn't flinch even if ten Mount Tai collapsed before him.
Liu Jianming was so excited he almost knelt down before Li Jian, his voice filled with reverence: "Yes, yes, Brother Jian, you're absolutely right."
Li Jian continued, "As the saying goes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. It's impossible for you to win in terms of personality."
Liu Jianming knelt down and hugged Li Jian's knees, saying, "Brother Jian, as long as I can get Sister Mary, I'll do anything for you."
Li Jian said, "It's actually very simple. Of the three words, you can only achieve the last one: 'steady, accurate, and ruthless'!"
"Brother Jian, what do you mean?"
Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) is a former assassin, and what he fears least is ruthlessness.
Li Jian patted Liu Jianming on the shoulder and said, "What do you want? I didn't ask you to kill Han Chen. I'm saying, what's in your head? All you think about is killing people?"
You are a police officer here, and police officers are not allowed to do illegal or criminal things.
Liu Jianming (Teacher Chen) said with a face full of shame, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"You misspoke!"
Li Jian slapped Liu Jianming on the head in an annoyed tone: "You should have said, 'Sorry, I'm a policeman!'"
Lau Kin-ming quickly changed his tune: "Sorry, I'm a policeman."
"louder please!"
"Excuse me, I'm a police officer!"
"Louder!"
"Excuse me, I'm a police officer!"
"Add a touch of emotion!"
"..." Liu Jianming's voice was hoarse from shouting, "Brother Jian, will saying this make Sister Mary like me?"
Li Jian said, "No."
Liu Jianming was speechless for a moment: "Brother Jian, don't mess with me."
Li Jian stood up and waved his hand: "Want to learn? I can teach you, but not now. You should graduate from the police academy first."
After saying that, Li Jian got up and left.
Liu Jianming was left alone, lost in thought.
the next day.
Li Jian saw the news report.
The headline is horrifying: "The Ni family of three died tragically on Tsz Wan Shan, the whole family wiped out!"
The photo is blurry, probably taken with a landline phone, but you can vaguely see three people, two men and one woman.
The case has been taken over by the Wong Tai Sin District Police Station.
It is said that the team leader was named Chen Guorong (Double Dragon), who was also a police hero.
Li Jian did not pay particular attention to this.
Ni Kun is dead, Ni Yongxiao has kicked the bucket, and Gandhi, Black Ghost, and Guohua fought to a standstill, leaving the Ni family with no one left capable of fighting.
Taking advantage of the situation, "Brother Kun" broke into Tsim Sha Tsui.
However, it won't be so easy for Liang Kun to take over the Ni family's business.
Gangs like 14K, Wo Luen Shing, and Tung Sing are also eyeing this area, making another bloody battle inevitable.
Two days passed.
Li Jian met the trainee inspectors who were in the same training session as him, many of whom were people he knew.
Trainee Inspectors Chung Kin (Yam Tai-wah) from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau's C Team, Yeung Kam-wing (Lee Ming) from the Security Bureau, Ma Kwan (Chocolate Dan) from the East Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, Luk Yuen-sum (Yeung Choi-nei) from the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit's 3 Team, Ma Ho-tin (Lau Sing-man) from the Narcotics Bureau, and Cheung Chung-pong (Chocolate Dan) from the East Kowloon Regional Crime Unit.
When Li Jian saw Ma Jun and Zhang Chongbang, he thought he was seeing things.
The instructor was a Hong Kong Island native with a rugged appearance. "Hello everyone, my name is Xiahou Wu, and I am your martial arts instructor. Over the next few months, I will teach you some self-defense techniques and grappling. You are all elites of the police force. Now, please introduce yourselves."
Li Jian was speechless because Xiahou Wu and Ma Jun looked like complete strangers.
An older-looking man stood up: "My name is Chung Kin, from the C Team of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. Please take care of me."
After Zhong Jian sat down, a man who looked like the senior disciple of the Broken Water Flow Sect stood up and said, "My name is Yang Jinrong, from the security department."
Yang Jinrong finished speaking briefly and then sat down without uttering a single unnecessary word.
To be fair, Yang Jinrong's looks are outstanding among all the trainees.
It poses a subtle threat to Li Jian.
Next, Ma Jun, Lu Xuanxin, Zhang Chongbang, and others stood up one by one to introduce themselves.
It was Li Jian's turn.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Jian, from the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit. It's fate that we meet here, and I'm very happy to meet you all."
Lu Xuanxin stretched out her hand and said, "Wow, Li Sir! I've met you in person, you're so handsome!"
"Handsome guy, I heard you're pretty good at fighting, is that right? Let's have a match sometime," Zhang Chongbang said with a smile.
Ma Jun nodded knowingly.
As for the others, Li Jian waved his hand.
Li Jian has experienced the benefits of fame, namely that he is recognized wherever he goes.
After everyone has finished introducing themselves.
Xiahou Wu (Yu Zhou Dan) then quieted everyone down: "As your martial arts instructor, I would like to ask you a question: What is martial arts?"
Ma Jun (Yu Zhou Dan) was the first to raise his hand: "Martial arts is kung fu, it's the technique to knock people down! Of course, I personally don't believe in traditional martial arts, I prefer modern combat sports."
Zhang Chongbang (Yu Zhoudan) also raised his hand: "Coach, what kind of martial art do you practice?"
Xiahou Wu (Yu Zhou Dan) looked at the two people who looked very much like him and laughed: "What Ma Jun said is biased. Martial arts is not just for fighting people. It can strengthen the body, protect the country, and even promote exchanges between major countries."
In the 70s, Bruce Lee introduced kung fu to the world through his films.
He himself is a master of kung fu, admired by foreigners. If he couldn't fight with traditional martial arts, foreigners wouldn't recognize him.
Ma Jun, you like modern combat sports. There are many categories of modern combat sports, such as wrestling, Sanda, boxing, and Jiu-Jitsu. I wonder which one you are proficient in?
Ma Jun (Yu Zhou Dan) said, "I have dabbled in all of them, but Coach, after you've said so much, let's have a fight and see if traditional martial arts can actually be used in combat."
Xiahou Wu (Yu Zhou Dan) waved his hand: "Don't rush this. Are there any other students who want to answer the questions?"
Lu Xuanxin (Yang Caini) stood up and said, "Coach Xiahou, we are police officers, and we use guns to catch bad guys. Nowadays, bad guys have better guns and weapons than we police officers. Isn't it a bit of putting the cart before the horse for us to practice martial arts?"
"A gun is fast from seven paces away, and accurate and fast within seven paces!" Even Yang Jinrong, who was not talkative, spoke up.
Xiahou Wu sighed and said, "What you said is all correct. In the modern era with the advent of firearms, martial arts have indeed declined and have even been reduced to a dance that can only be performed. However, martial arts are not entirely useless."
Imagine you're in a cramped room with criminals. Using a gun might injure you. Wouldn't it be better if you knew grappling, wrestling, or jiu-jitsu?
"Besides being used in actual combat, martial arts also serves to train the body. Shoulders and hips should work together, elbows and knees should work together, and hands and feet should work together. Grabbing is static, while seizing is dynamic. Only after mastering grappling can one use weapons, which are an extension of the hands and feet."
Xiahou Wu (Yu Zhou Dan) stretched out his hands, one moving and one still, "The mind and intention are in harmony, the intention and qi are in harmony, the qi and strength are in harmony, the inner yin and the outer yang are in harmony, the inner and outer are connected into one qi, if one form is not in harmony, it is difficult to practice another form."
Lu Xuanxin stood up and interrupted Xiahou Wu: "I don't understand what you're talking about. I don't know kung fu, but I've still solved a lot of murder cases. Knowing kung fu doesn't mean you have a criminal mind. Give me another reason to learn kung fu."
Xiahou Wu shrugged and said, "It seems this madam has a problem with kung fu. If you encountered a criminal who knew kung fu and you met him on a narrow path, and you didn't have a chance to use your gun, would you still think the same way?"
Furthermore, officers don't usually have many opportunities to use guns. After all, criminals are human beings too, and they can't be shot dead just because they make a mistake.
I remember a police officer saying that a policeman's job is to catch criminals and bring them to court; how they are tried is left to the judge.
Ma Jun stood up: "Instructor Xiahou, what's the point of saying all this? I'm also a martial arts enthusiast, let's have a match first!"
Oh!
The trainees at the scene all joined in the commotion.
It's human nature to enjoy watching a spectacle, especially for Chinese people, whose tendency to enjoy watching a spectacle is at its peak.
Those who participated in the training with Li Jian were all top performers in their respective teams.
Xiahou Wu's teaching had long made many people unhappy.
Especially combat sports enthusiasts like Ma Jun and Zhang Chongbang.
They have never encountered anyone more capable than themselves.
Xiahou Wu (Yu Zhou Dan) smirked and held out a hand: "Alright, let's take this as a demonstration. Ma Jun, do you need protective gear?"
Ma Jun (Yu Zhou Dan) took off his jacket, revealing a muscular physique: "No need!"
Ma Jun walked to within a meter of Xiahou Wu and assumed a fighting stance: "Instructor Xiahou, excuse me!"
Snapped!
After Ma Jun finished speaking, he threw a punch straight at Xiahou Wu's head.
Xiahou Wu tilted his head to the side, dodging Ma Jun's punch.
Ma Jun moved nimbly, following up with a left-handed hook punch aimed at Xiahou Wu's temple.
Li Jian kept his eyes fixed on the two sides engaged in battle.
The free fighting style used by Ma Jun also has its unique aspects.
As a fighting style that has survived in actual combat, its practicality is beyond doubt; it can be said that every move is an effective strike.
