Leng Tie's special medicine really worked. Y and Z quickly revealed all their secrets. They confessed to breaking into Zheng Yubai's villa, accidentally killing two FBI agents, and later murdering Kenny Anderson. With these confessions and the two criminals, Leng Tie was finally able to report to the United States.
Zheng Yubai also got rid of a big worry, because Murong Ping fell to his death, and the police found Yao Qian dead in the building. The once famous richest man died in a very tragic way. Although he was an enemy, Zheng Yubai also felt a little sad.
Yao Qian's downfall and death left Gao Fei without financial support. Twenty days later it would be the March bet, and Zheng Yubai's confidence was higher than ever.
Before the gambling, the semi-finals and finals of the martial arts competition were about to take place. In order to help his son win the championship, Zheng Jingzhe changed his plan for a short stay and decided to stay.
And before the semi-finals, there is one important thing, which is Christmas.
Zheng Yubai was not interested in this kind of foreign show, but he knew a group of beautiful women who really liked this kind of festival. Zheng Yubai didn't know whether they liked the tradition of this festival or the opportunity to have a delicious meal. Anyway, everyone decided to have a meal at a famous western restaurant. Of course, Zheng Yubai would pay the bill.
Today's young people have been living with Hollywood movies, McDonald's fast food, Coca-Cola ads, Nike and Adidas sneakers since childhood. In their minds, they have been quite accepting of Christmas, an imported product. Although some young people are atheists and some believe in Buddhism, it does not prevent them from finding excuses to call friends to party during Christmas.
In this age where entertainment is paramount, Zheng Yubai seems a little out of place. When he was in college, he was just a spectator at such Christmas parties. Now, sitting in a high-end Western restaurant, looking at the knife and fork on the table, he can't remember whether it is the knife in the left hand and the fork in the right hand, or the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.
"What are you looking at? A medium-rare steak, very delicious." Although Yang Feiyan is young, she is a glutton and has never missed any delicious restaurant in Jinghai. Seeing the medium-rare steak with blood on her plate, Zheng Yubai sweated a little.
Eating raw meat and drinking blood, this was the only thought in Zheng Yubai's mind. The food of our ancestors was still delicious, at least it was cooked. Following Yang Feiyan's instructions, Zheng Yubai picked up the knife and fork, clumsily cut the steak, dipped it in some gravy, and put it in his mouth. The taste was okay, but it was no different from barbecue.
The largest table in the western restaurant was full of Zheng Yubai's friends. Zheng Jingzhe sat in the middle, his aunt's family was on the left, Xu Jin, Yu Luo, Yang Feiyan, Su Su, Ding Beibei and other female friends were on the right, Zheng Yubai and Cao Ji sat together, everyone was talking and laughing, the atmosphere was unusually warm. Yu Luo and Su Su, the two little girls, were wearing Christmas hats on their heads, looking innocent and cute. Several girls drank some red wine and looked tipsy, which made Cao Ji drool, thinking to himself that Zheng Yubai was a silly boy, why was his luck with women so good, is it that the honest type is popular now
"Such a big restaurant, but they don't even have Shaodaozi. At least they should have a bottle of Erguotou." Zheng Jingzhe quite likes eating steak, but he is a little dissatisfied with the alcohol supply in the western restaurant.
Tang Yun was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, so he hurriedly said, "This is a Western restaurant, and we only serve foreign wine. Otherwise, I'll order you a bottle of strong wine."
"You should have told me earlier. This red wine tastes weird, like juice." Zheng Jingzhe's eyes lit up.
Tang Yunsheng waved his hand, and the waiter came over and handed over the wine list. Tang Yunsheng thought of Zheng Jingzhe's drinking capacity and preferences, and did not care about the rules of drinking and pairing dishes in Western cuisine, and ordered a bottle of the strongest vodka for him.
"This stuff tastes delicious." Zheng Jingzhe took a sip of vodka and said happily.
"Russians all drink this." Tang Yunsheng also poured a small cup and drank it with Zheng Jingzhe.
A few girls secretly glanced at Zheng Jingzhe, who was addicted to alcohol, and were a little glad that Zheng Yubai did not learn these bad habits.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Zheng Jingzhe started talking.
"Son, have you figured out how to deal with Huang Shiyu?"
This day is December 25th. Three days later, on December 28th, the semi-finals of the martial arts competition will begin. Zheng Yubai will face Huang Shiyu, and Sun Haitong will face Yang Feiyun's senior brother Du Tao.
"I haven't thought about it yet..." Zheng Yubai scratched his head. The strength of Xingyiquan lies in its hard-hitting style and its indestructible iron fist. Although there have been Sun Lutang and Xue Dian, who were famous for their body movements, and Shang Yunxiang, who was known as the "Iron-footed Buddha", in history, they are not famous for their leg movements. Zheng Yubai was really troubled when he met Huang Shiyu, who had amazing leg movements, strong resistance to blows and strong attacking ability.
"The Shadowless Kick was passed down from Huang Feihong, a martial arts master from Foshan. It is a unique skill in southern martial arts." Zheng Jingzhe said, "Before Huang Feihong, there was a saying that there was a southern fist and a northern leg. Do you know why?"
Zheng Yubai had heard his father tell these origin stories, so he said: "In the past, most of the boxing styles in the south focused on the hands and waist, and did not pay much attention to the skills of the legs. That's why this saying came about."
Zheng Jingzhe nodded and said, "You are right. However, starting from Huang Qiying and Huang Feihong, the southern martial arts community also began to notice the subtleties of leg techniques. They modified and innovated some of the northern leg and foot techniques and created this shadowless kick technique."
"So everything in the movie is true?" Most of the girls present had seen the famous Wong Fei Hung series of movies, and they couldn't help but be surprised to hear this.
"It's not as magical as in the movies. In fact, the key to the Shadowless Kick is to defeat the enemy with speed while keeping your feet steady. Every master of the Shadowless Kick has excellent lower body techniques. It can be said that the Southern School of Shadowless Kick's horse-standing skills are unparalleled in the world. This is why Huang Shiyu was able to withstand Ma Zonglu's attacks and remain standing." Zheng Jingzhe analyzed.
Zheng Yubai listened to his father's story and gradually understood: "Why did Huang Shiyu abandon the key to defeating the enemy with speed and insist on fighting head-on with Ma Zonglu?"
Zheng Jingzhe rolled his eyes: "Figure it out yourself. If I tell you everything, is this championship yours or mine?"
After the dinner, Zheng Jingzhe went home drunk. Zheng Yubai asked Cao Ji to send Xu Jin and Yu Luo back to the safe apartment, while he went to send Yang Feiyan, Ding Beibei and Susu back.
"Brother Yubai, I want to ask you something." Yang Feiyan suddenly pulled Zheng Yubai's sleeve mysteriously, "Please give me the last one."
Zheng Yubai was a little confused, but he still nodded. Just as he agreed, Su Su pulled Zheng Yubai's collar and said with a red face, "Brother, can you send me off last? I have something to tell you."
"Ah..." Zheng Yubai was a little embarrassed. He saw Ding Beibei looking at him quietly, as if she had something to say.
Zheng Yubai was in a state of confusion. He didn't want to hurt any girl, but he made a mess of things. Fate really likes to play tricks on honest people.
"Susu, this..." Thinking of the day she met Susu, the little girl took off her clothes boldly. Although she was forced by life at that time, Zheng Yubai felt embarrassed every time he thought of this incident, and was afraid to stay alone with her. So he had to make up a reason, and she agreed to it. He sent Ding Beibei away first, and then sent Susu away. Seeing that only Yang Feiyan was left by his side, Zheng Yubai was relieved.
"What do you want to ask me?" Zheng Yubai saw Yang Feiyan dozing off in a daze, so he woke her up and asked.
Yang Feiyan rubbed his eyes and muttered, "It's still about the time your father and aunt went to see my grandfather after the quarterfinals."
"Did they go to see your grandfather?" Zheng Yubai then remembered that his father and aunt had indeed disappeared after the game that day. When he asked about it, they hesitated as if they were hiding something.
"They are old acquaintances of your father, so it's normal for them to know your grandfather. It's nothing." Zheng Yubai didn't know what Yang Feiyan wanted to ask.
"Humph, don't tell me you don't know." The little girl glared, and all the sleepiness just now disappeared, "They went to propose marriage to my grandfather!"
"Propose marriage... Who and who?" Zheng Yubai was a little confused. Was it for his cousin? If he thought about it this way, Yang Feiyun was extraordinary in appearance. Although he was a little arrogant, he was also quite capable. He would not treat his cousin badly.
"So, we are going to be relatives? My cousin is a very nice person." Zheng Yubai laughed, feeling very proud when he thought that Yang Feiyun wanted to call him brother-in-law.
Yang Feiyan stared at Zheng Yubai fiercely: "Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?"
"What's wrong?" Zheng Yubai saw that Yang Feiyan's nose was not a nose and her mouth was not a mouth, but he didn't know what was wrong.
"How could a girl go to a boy's house to propose marriage? Your father and aunt went to my grandfather to propose marriage to me for you!" the little girl said angrily.
"I... and you..." Zheng Yubai was dumbfounded. Yang Feiyan shouldn't lie about such a thing, but what were his father and aunt doing
"What's with that expression on your face?" Yang Feiyan said unhappily, "Does marrying me mean you any harm?"
Yang Feiyan was still a little girl who had not graduated from high school, but at this moment she called herself "old lady". The taxi driver couldn't help laughing, but he held it back and drove while eavesdropping on the show in the back seat.
"Uh... that's not what I meant." Zheng Yubai had no way to deal with this little girl. Thinking of Yang Feiyan's terrifying immobilization technique, he was still frightened.
"Hmph, don't think I want to marry you." Yang Feiyan said, "You are so silly. I don't know why those sisters like you so much."
Zheng Yubai scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, so he simply shut up and listened to Yang Feiyan's nagging.
In fact, Yang Feiyan was not particularly clear about what happened. It was Yang Feiyun who secretly revealed this to her. It is said that when Yang Tianrui was still alive, he and Zheng Jingzhe were best friends. When Zheng Yubai was born, Yang Tianrui liked him very much, so he made an agreement with Zheng Jingzhe that if he had a daughter in the future, he would marry Zheng Yubai.
"In this day and age, there are still things like arranged marriages. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Yang Feiyan said indignantly.
"Ridiculous!" Zheng Yubai answered firmly. He could see that the little girl was very angry, so of course he agreed with her.
Later, Yang Tianrui and his wife died in a car accident, and the matter was left unresolved. However, this time when Zheng Jingzhe came to Jinghai, he met Yang Feiyan. After knowing that she was Yang Tianrui's daughter, he remembered the past again. So this time when he went to visit Yang Huting, he brought up this old matter.
"What did your grandfather say?" Zheng Yubai was a little nervous. If his father really forced him to marry Yang Feiyan, he didn't know what to do. If he agreed, wouldn't it be an apology to Xu Jin and Ding Beibei's deep love? But if he didn't agree... Thinking of the serious consequences, Zheng Yubai shuddered.
“Grandpa… I agreed…” Yang Feiyan pouted, “I haven’t even graduated from high school yet, I don’t want to get married!” The little girl’s tone was already tearful when she said the last half sentence.
The driver in the front row finally couldn't help but interrupt, "We live in a society ruled by law now, we have to be free to fall in love, and arranged marriages are outdated."
Zheng Yubai and Yang Feiyan looked at each other and said together: "Uncle driver, it's hard to put it into words..."
Standing at the entrance of Yang's Tai Chi Martial Arts School, Zheng Yubai hesitated. Yang Feiyan pouted and looked down at her fingers, looking like she had been wronged. Zheng Yubai was also very annoyed. According to Yang Feiyun, Yang Huting agreed to the marriage, but they could only get married after Yang Feiyan graduated from university. After all, there was still four years of buffer time, so it was not impossible to come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
"What should we do?" Seeing Zheng Yubai walking around, Yang Feiyan asked impatiently.
"There are still four years left, don't worry." Zheng Yubai comforted Yang Feiyan. In fact, he himself was unsure. "A lot of things can happen in four years. If you go to college and meet a boy you like, and bring him home and your grandfather likes him too, then things will be easy."
"Why don't you bring a girl to see your father and aunt?" Yang Feiyan said dissatisfiedly.
"That's fine..." Zheng Yubai said reluctantly, "Anyway, we can fight back if the enemy comes, and we can block the water with earth. As long as you and I are of one mind, they can't force us."
"Who knows..." Yang Feiyan pouted. "I'm going back to sleep. You better think of a solution. I don't want to be stuck in your cow dung."
Zheng Yubai scratched his head, watched Yang Feiyan return to the martial arts gym, and then sighed.
A firework exploded in the sky above the distant city, so bright that it illuminated the entire sky. Zheng Yubai's mood was just like the firework, and it suddenly became bright. In fact, these emotional problems were not a bad thing. There is always a way out when you reach the mountain. There is always a way out when you are in trouble. Why bother him
On December 28th, 50 million viewers across Asia were waiting in front of their televisions for the opening of the semi-finals of the martial arts conference.
Zheng Yubai, who usually did not have any assistants, brought two assistants that day. One was the talkative Zheng Jingzhe, and the other was Cao Ji.
Zheng Jingzhe was carrying a bucket, while Caoji was wearing two towels, like waiters in a restaurant. But they both had smiles on their faces, because it felt really good to accept cheers with Zheng Yubai.
Sun Yunqing, who was sitting on the judges' bench, had been resting his eyes, waiting to watch his son's competition carefully, but Zheng Jingzhe's appearance attracted his attention. His slightly closed eyes immediately opened wide, staring at Zheng Jingzhe's figure.
"Is he here too..." Thinking of the grudges from many years ago, a fierce light flashed in Sun Yunqing's eyes, "Is he looking to avenge us?" As a villain, Sun Yunqing naturally linked the appearance of Zheng Yubai with the bad things he had done in the past, and determined that it was Zheng Jingzhe who instigated his son to participate in the martial arts conference, and the target was himself.
I was able to defeat you back then, and now my son can definitely defeat your son. Sun Yunqing firmly believes in Sun Haitong's abilities.
Yang Huting had different thoughts when he saw Zheng Yubai and Zheng Jingzhe. He had always liked Zheng Yubai, and ever since Zheng Jingzhe brought up the marriage proposal between the Zheng and Yang families, the more the old man looked at Zheng Yubai, the more he liked him. He liked his future grandson-in-law.
"Brat, if you win the championship, I won't make things difficult for you in the future. Otherwise, if you want to marry my granddaughter, you have to pass my three tests." Yang Huting thought with a smile.
Another judge, Luo Hengyang, had a completely different thought. When he saw Zheng Jingzhe's familiar face, he realized that Zheng Yubai was actually the child of an old friend. Back then, he and Zheng Shuangjiang were once known as the golden boy and jade girl of the Jinghai martial arts world. Unfortunately, Zheng Shuangjiang later fell in love with Tang Yunsheng and missed a chance to marry.
Now seeing Zheng Shuangjiang's nephew, Luo Hengyang felt a different feeling in his heart. The past events came to his mind vividly, and he had all kinds of feelings.
As soon as Zheng Yubai appeared on the stage, booing broke out, which made the three people a little confused, wondering if he had offended someone.
Before he could figure it out, Huang Shiyu also appeared. Compared with Zheng Yubai, Huang Shiyu's lineup was much stronger, with four or five assistants alone, all of whom were his fellow apprentices. Not only was his lineup stronger than Zheng Yubai's, but even his cheers were much louder, as if Huang Shiyu was more popular than Zheng Yubai.
Ever since Feng Bahan lost to Zheng Yubai, his unprofessional followers have all turned to support Huang Shiyu. This is not to say that Huang Shiyu is very attractive, but most people blame Zheng Yubai for Feng Bahan's failure and hope that Huang Shiyu can defeat him.
Zheng Yubai didn't mind being booed, he stepped onto the stage and jumped a few times as a warm-up. Huang Shiyu kicked a few times from the stage, his kicks were as fast as lightning, and extremely sharp, which was even more impressive than the last fight with Ma Zonglu, and he immediately won rounds of cheers.
The two sides took to the ring, and the host began to talk about every fierce battle between the two men at length, talking about it with great excitement, as if both of them were Super Saiyans. The big screen also kept flashing highlights of both sides, but unfortunately when the scene of Zheng Yubai knocking out Feng Bahan in three seconds was broadcast, it was only greeted with boos.
"Do these guys know what real kung fu is? Believe it or not, I will find someone to kill you." Cao Ji cursed. He has been in the underworld for so long that he naturally has a bad temper. Although Zheng Yubai kept reminding him, he still couldn't hide it.
Fortunately, Zheng Jingzhe also had the same temper. Caoji's words were very much to his liking, and he also said: "That's right. Without this bunch of half-witted people who only know how to show off their skills, Chinese martial arts would not have fallen to this point."
No matter how angry the old man and the young man were, the audience still supported Zheng Yubai. Only Xu Jin and others in the box and a small number of audience members cheered for Zheng Yubai.
"I always seem to be unpopular..." Zheng Yubai thought to himself as he looked helplessly at Huang Shiyu's smug look opposite him.
After waiting for the host to finish speaking, the referee on the scene explained the rules again. This match set a record for viewership, so it was held in a very formal and grand manner. Yang Feiyun wanted to promote martial arts competitions of a combat nature through this successful competition, gradually expand the group of martial arts enthusiasts, and promote martial arts.
After the tedious ceremony, the competition is finally about to begin.
After Zheng Yubai and Huang Shiyu bowed face to face, the referee waved his hand. When his hand fell, the two men each took a step back, and the situation became tense.
The characteristic of the shadowless kick is the word "fast". Although it was not shown in the last battle against Ma Zonglu, Huang Shiyu seemed to be planning to win by speed when dealing with Zheng Yubai. He did not delay. Seeing that Zheng Yubai was not in a hurry to attack, he stepped forward and punched him.
Although he is famous for his shadowless kick, Wong Shiyu's fist skills are also quite strong. This punch is obviously a move of the Tiger and Crane Double Forms popularized by Wong Fei-hung's disciple Lam Sai-wing. It has the usual heavy momentum of Southern Fist and is quite powerful.
Zheng Yubai dodged to the side and Huang Shiyu's fist missed, but his feet did not stop. He touched the ground with his left foot and swept out with his right leg, like a sharp knife, slashing at Zheng Yubai's waist.
Zheng Yubai lowered his shoulders and twisted his waist, making a cross with his fists, and took the kick. Huang Shiyu felt as if he had kicked a hard rock, knowing that the opponent's ability to withstand blows was not weaker than Ma Zonglu.
However, despite his strong bones, Ma Zonglu still fell under Huang Shiyu's shadowless feet. His first kick failed, so he kicked out the second kick. The connection between the two kicks was very smooth, and the movements were very hidden, which was very deceptive. It was easy to fall into the trap if you were not careful. Seeing Huang Shiyu's beautiful continuous kicks, even if they were psychologically inclined to Zheng Yubai, Yang Huting and Luo Hengyang still cheered secretly.
Zheng Yubai dodged the second kick, and Huang Shiyu's third kick followed. His body was like a spring, and his two kicks kept attacking, making Zheng Yubai overwhelmed.
"What's going on? I remember he wasn't this powerful when he was fighting that Thai guy." The girls couldn't help but worry when they saw Zheng Yubai retreating step by step.
Zheng Shuangjiang heard the women's concerns and smiled, "Don't worry, everything is under Yu Bai's control. He has discovered Huang Shiyu's weakness." (To be continued)
