Late at night, a man in a long white gown slowly emerged from the luxurious villa of the Wu family.
The man in the white gown was imposing and tall, but a hooked nose marred his otherwise fine features.
"Uncle Ying, I didn't expect the family to send you this time."
Sun Mu said respectfully, sitting on the sofa.
It was worth noting that Sun Mu possessed the strength of a fourth-level martial artist, and more importantly, Uncle Ying had extensive combat experience. Any opponent he set his sights on never survived.
"Young Master, let's dispense with pleasantries. It's best to resolve this matter as quickly as possible,"
The white-shirted man named Uncle Ying said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ying. I've already made plans. This time, we'll take down all the merchant associations in Jiangnan Province in one fell swoop."
Sun Mu said with confidence. After all, with Uncle Ying supporting him, he no longer feared Qin Hui.
It was important to understand that the gap between martial artists could be quite significant. With Uncle Ying's strength and his own, they would surely crush Qin Hui!
"Young Master Wu, our plan can proceed. In five days, I want all the major figures of Jiangnan Province present at the underground boxing ring!"
Sun Mu commanded.
"Rest assured, Young Master Sun. Leave everything to me."
Wu Zhiwei said excitedly. If this plan went smoothly, the Wu family would become the foremost family in Jiangnan Province.
After all, once they reached the boxing ring, it would no longer be up to the influential figures. It would be a matter of who had the stronger fist.
...
After Qin Hui returned home, he first meticulously cared for his potted Hundred Leaf Grass.
In reality, the Hundred Leaf Grass did not require watering every day. The nutrients it needed were carefully prepared by Qin Hui. After all, potted plants were different from those nurtured in nature.
Jiang Yanxi was somewhat surprised by Qin Hui's actions. A grown man being interested in potted plants.
However, Jiang Yanxi would not inquire about such trivial matters. The villa was so large that even if Qin Hui raised a towering tree, it would be fine.
On the living room sofa, Jiang Yanxi had her legs crossed, perusing a fashion magazine.
Qin Hui, on the other hand, sat in a corner of the sofa, peeling an apple, his gaze occasionally drifting to her fair legs.
"Qin Hui, I've cut off all cooperation with the Wu family during this period, but they seem unfazed. Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Yanxi put down her magazine and asked with a worried expression.
After all, the Wu family's behavior was too abnormal, so much so that it was concerning.
Having been involved in the business world for so many years, Jiang Yanxi still trusted her intuition.
"They are preparing a killing blow, and from what I see, their killing blow is aimed at the entire Jiangnan Province."
Qin Hui said calmly while peeling the apple. How could Qin Hui not see through Sun Mu's petty schemes?
If it were before, Qin Hui might have panicked a little, but now that he was a fourth-level martial artist, he was not afraid.
"The entire Jiangnan Province? Are they going to deploy martial artists?"
Jiang Yanxi was also shocked.
In the past few days, Jiang Yanxi had come to understand the existence of martial artists. Indeed, once they made a move, ordinary people would be powerless against them.
Commercial competition was a conventional means, but the intervention of martial artists was a decisive one. If someone held a knife to your throat and demanded you hand over your conglomerate, how could you refuse?
Most importantly, the police had no way to deal with these martial artists, as the police were no match for them. Moreover, the matter had not escalated to the point where the higher authorities would deploy official martial artists to prevent it.
"Leave this matter to me. When you go out, bring more bodyguards. At least that will be safer,"
Qin Hui handed the apple to Jiang Yanxi and advised her.
The Sun family would resort to any means to acquire Jiangnan Province's assets, and Qin Hui had to guard against this.
"Alright, I understand."
Jiang Yanxi was also very astute.
For Jiang Yanxi, these martial artists were akin to assassins. Since she had been targeted by assassins, Jiang Yanxi naturally had to be cautious.
In the following two days, Qin Hui lived a very ordinary life, and the Wu family remained silent.
But Qin Hui knew that behind the calm, there would be great danger. Therefore, during these days, Qin Hui accompanied Jiang Yanxi to work.
After all, if Sun Mu wanted to seize Jiangnan Province's assets, he would first have to deal with Jiang Yanxi. The Jiang family's conglomerate held absolute control over Jiangnan Province's commerce, which would undoubtedly arouse envy in anyone.
One day, as Qin Hui was leaving work, he received an invitation from the Wu family.
The content of the invitation was simple: in three days, the underground boxing ring would decide the ultimate fate of Jiangnan Province's merchant associations.
On the same day, other influential figures in Jiangnan Province also received this invitation.
At first, some dismissed it, believing that the Wu family alone could not decide the future direction of Jiangnan Province. However, that very night, these influential figures mysteriously disappeared, and from then on, no one dared to underestimate this boxing match.
With the threat to their lives, these influential figures were soon surrounded by numerous bodyguards and assassins, and even some boxing champions, all with the intention of curbing the Wu family's arrogance on the day of the match.
After all, the Wu family was merely a second-rate family. Since when could they trample over others and act so arrogantly?
Qin Hui and Jiang Yanxi naturally had to attend this underground boxing match. After all, the Jiang family's conglomerate was of great importance in Jiangnan Province, and Jiang Yanxi's actions would represent the attitude of Jiangnan Province's merchant associations.
It was understood that this event was filled with danger, but also with opportunity. Who wouldn't want to seize this chance to gain fame?
Of course, during these few days, Qin Hui also provided guidance to Li Dazhuang.
Qin Hui initially thought Li Dazhuang would not last a few days, but to his surprise, he persevered, and the results were somewhat astonishing to Qin Hui.
Perhaps due to having consumed the Five-Colored Flower before, Li Dazhuang's strength in breaking steel plates was increasing.
Time flew by, and five days passed.
That morning, Qin Hui, holding a scallion pancake, arrived at the abandoned amusement park.
As soon as he arrived, Qin Hui heard the sounds of Li Dazhuang training. The training ground was piled high with discarded steel plates, all stained with Li Dazhuang's blood.
Bang!
After smashing a steel plate, Li Dazhuang let out a long sigh, his hands wrapped in white bandages.
"Brother Hui, you're here."
Upon seeing Qin Hui, Li Dazhuang's face lit up with excitement, as he knew it was time to test the results of his training over the past few days.
"Yes, smash it and let me see the effect of your training. You have two chances."
Qin Hui placed a new steel plate in front of Li Dazhuang. In fact, Qin Hui was also curious whether Li Dazhuang had the potential to become a martial artist.
Li Dazhuang looked at the steel plate and nodded seriously. The training over the past few days was precisely to prove himself at this moment.
Bang!
Without hesitation, Li Dazhuang threw a punch at the steel plate. He poured all his strength into this punch. Although he had two chances, for him, once an opportunity was missed, it was difficult to grasp it again.
