Caoji comforted him, "Don't worry, the company will take care of you about K. I'm just about to report to the boss and find a chance to kill them. Although Killer 26 is powerful, the company is not afraid of them."
"The problem is, I was the one who killed V," Zheng Yubai said helplessly, "This is purely my personal matter, the company doesn't need to worry about it."
Caoji was stunned. "You are so cruel. You dare to kill people on a gambling boat... V's disappearance has caused a lot of trouble in the city. It is said that E from the 26th assassin has been tracking him. This time, it is the XYZ trio. You better be careful."
"I'll be careful." Zheng Yubai felt a little depressed. Why did bad things happen one after another? He just had a few days of peace and quiet, and then something like this happened again.
"By the way, the people from the Sanjiang Society have shown up again these days." Cao Ji said, "Fang Hongjin showed up on Lan Kwai Street yesterday. Should we deal with him?"
"Has he appeared again..." Zheng Yubai suddenly realized that he had made a large number of enemies without realizing it. The number of people he had offended in just over a month was several times more than in the previous twenty years.
"Do you want me to find a few people to kill him?" Cao Ji looked fierce.
"He is not easy to deal with, so leave him to me." Zheng Yubai knew Fang Hongjin's strength. His Baguazhang skills were by no means ordinary, and he was also very cunning. Ordinary means could not deal with him.
"Then you must be careful and tell me if anything happens." Cao Ji said very loyally.
Zheng Yubai thanked Caoji for his kindness, and the two of them handed over their shifts. Caoji went out to have a night out, while Zheng Yubai chatted with Qiao Weilun and Xue Bingyang at the bar. As the three of them were chatting, Xie Chunlai came over, greeted Zheng Yubai with a smile, poured a glass of wine and sat beside him.
"Is there something wrong?" Zheng Yubai asked when he saw Xie Chunlai drinking absent-mindedly, his eyes always looking at his fingers.
Xie Chunlai smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, maybe I'm just too nervous."
"What's wrong?" Zheng Yubai saw the flicker in his eyes and knew that he must be hiding something from him.
Seeing that Xie Chunlai seemed to be hesitant to talk, Qiao and Xue tactfully said goodbye and left, leaving only Xie Chunlai and Zheng Yubai at the bar.
"You can say whatever you want." Zheng Yubai said.
Xie Chunlai stared at Zheng Yubai's fingers and said with a hint of doubt: "I smell a very special smell on your body. That smell can only be emitted by the ointment of our Daomen."
Zheng Yubai smelled his fingers and found a faint scent, but he didn't find anything special. Xie Chunlai said hurriedly, "We thieves must not only train our eyes and ears to be alert, but also have a sensitive nose. Even a top thief can smell how much money a passerby is carrying even if he covers his eyes and ears."
Zheng Yubai was greatly surprised and thought, isn't that just like a dog
Xie Chunlai added: "The smell of the ointment on your body is not something that ordinary people can smell. But I have been exposed to it since I was a child, so I can't be mistaken. Could it be that you have any connection with the people in our Thief Sect?"
Zheng Yubai did ask Xu Jin about Xie Chunlai. He knew that Xie Chunlai and Xu Ruoyu had a master-disciple relationship like father and son. They kept in touch and often sent money to Xu Ruoyu to help him. But he suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and he was hiding in a safe apartment.
Zheng Yubai had not told Xie Chunlai about Xu Jin before, but now there was no need to hide the matter of Xu Ruoyu from him, so he simply explained the whole thing to Xie Chunlai.
Xie Chunlai was shocked: "You actually know my master and my junior sister..."
After Zheng Yubai explained the whole story, Xie Chunlai suddenly realized what was going on. He slapped his forehead hard and said, "I am a bad disciple, and it is the master and his sister who have suffered. Brother Zheng, you took such a risk to help my master get revenge. I... I feel guilty."
"You're too kind. This is what I should do. In fact, I have also learned a lot of skills from your master." Zheng Yubai said with a smile.
Xie Chunlai said solemnly: "My master is a rare talent among thieves. If it weren't for the two villains Gao Fei and Yao Qian's conspiracy, his achievements would be limitless. If you can learn a few tricks from him, Gao Fei can be the God of Gamblers."
"I have made some progress in practicing sorting iron beans these past two days. I just hope I can master it within three months so I can deal with Gao Fei." Zheng Yubai said.
Xie Chunlai sighed when he heard this: "It's a pity that my kung fu is not good enough, otherwise I should practice with you.
Zheng Yubai had heard from Xu Jin that Xie Chunlai mainly learned light-body kung fu from Xu Ruoyu, and he had already surpassed his master in flying over eaves and walls, and had made considerable achievements. He was known as "Cao Shang Zao" among thieves, and was compared with Shi Qian, the top thief king in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, his kung fu was relatively ordinary, and it was precisely because of this that he frequently lost to Zheng Yubai at the poker table.
Thinking of this, he said, "Brother Xie, I heard that your light body skills are very powerful. I wonder if you can teach me a few moves."
Although there were masters of Xingyiquan in history, such as "Living Monkey" Sun Lutang and "Iron-footed Buddha" Shang Yunxiang, who were very good at leg and foot skills, their main skills were still in boxing and internal skills. In terms of footwork flexibility, they were still inferior to Baguazhang. Although Zheng Yubai had a set of self-created footwork, it was not guaranteed to be able to deal with top masters. Now facing Xie Chunlai, who was an expert in light body kung fu, he could not help but ask for advice.
Xie Chunlai readily agreed and said, "Speaking of this light-weight Kung Fu, you should have learned it from Master. But Master is old, and his legs and feet are inevitably a little unsteady. I have no other strengths, but I can only climb walls and fly over rooftops. It's rare that you like me, brother, so I will teach you everything I know."
At midnight, the shadows were silent and most people were asleep. Two figures appeared on the dark rooftop of Hailong Community. They were Xie Chunlai and Zheng Yubai.
Xie Chunlai was wearing a black nightgown with a tool bag around his waist containing the Flying Tiger Claw and other tools. Zheng Yubai was only wearing casual clothes, but he also tied up his sleeves and trouser legs to avoid delaying the action.
"My special move is called Flying Eaves Technique. It's called light body kung fu, but it's actually quite different from the light body kung fu you practice." Xie Chunlai explained to Zheng Yubai while standing on the edge of the roof. "But when you compete, you rely on the strength of your waist and legs to move quickly. We thieves also rely on our waist and legs. If you learn these skills from me, you will also improve your waist and leg kung fu, which will only benefit your boxing practice."
As Xie Chunlai spoke, he stretched his arms and legs. His body joints seemed to disappear, like a piece of noodle, and he could twist to very strange angles. Zheng Yubai knew that this was an extremely advanced bone shrinking technique, and combined with the flying eaves technique, Xie Chunlai gained the reputation of being a flea on the grass.
