The martial arts industry is about being aboveboard. In fact, the leader didn't want to do such a thing. After all, for those who practice martial arts, this is not a glorious thing.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Our family is barely making ends meet, and the strange thing is that both my old mother and my wife have contracted strange diseases that cannot be cured.
Now, his family no longer has the money to buy them medicine. At that time, when the deputy manager came to him and said that he would give him a large sum of money as a reward, he was naturally happy.
Thinking that there is finally hope for the recovery of his mother and wife's illness, his seven-year-old son does all the housework every day. He has been unable to take care of the family in order to make money.
The saying "a penny can make a hero fall" may be just like this.
Faced with the reality of life, he had no choice but to bow his head and now, he could only play the role of a bad guy. His most urgent wish was to get the money as soon as possible, but he really hated doing such things.
"Issue a challenge?" Chen Lei asked the leader.
I remember my master once saying that back in the ancient times, when martial artists were roaming the martial arts world, they were always aboveboard. If you wanted to compete, you couldn't attack by surprise; you could only challenge them openly and then compete.
But I didn't expect that in this day and age, there would be people who would do this.
But it can also be seen that since the leader knows these rules, he is naturally a real martial artist.
The leader nodded and said to Chen Lei, "Yes, I'm issuing a challenge! If you win, I won't come to cause trouble again!"
"Zhao Hu!" The deputy manager was furious. He had witnessed Chen Lei's abilities firsthand. Several people approached him. What on earth was wrong with this Zhao Hu? He was actually challenging him to a fight! That would have been fine, but he even made such a promise.
"Deputy Manager, I haven't finished speaking." Zhao Hu said.
"What about the other scenario?" Chen Lei asked calmly. Even though he was a martial artist, for Liu Ruonan's future safety, Chen Lei had to show his true abilities and compete with Zhao Hu.
"If you lose, take your goods and your family and pack up and leave!" Zhao Hu leaned the wooden stick on the ground, put his hands on the top of the stick, and looked at Chen Lei with an incomprehensible light in his eyes.
Perhaps this is a kind of expectation for competition among martial artists?
"Okay!" Chen Lei nodded, agreeing.
"Great!" Zhao Hu clapped his hands and said, "Then let's sign the life and death agreement now."
"A death warrant?" Liu Ruonan exclaimed. What era is this? Why would anyone need to sign a death warrant? You know, no matter what the circumstances, if someone dies, you will be held legally responsible.
Looking at Zhao Hu's expression, he seems to be fighting to the death!
"Little girl, are you scared? It doesn't matter, just pack up and leave now. I will never make things difficult for you." Zhao Hu looked at Liu Ruonan and teased.
Chen Lei blocked Liu Ruonan behind him and said to Zhao Hu, "Okay, tell me how to sign!"
"Girl, find some paper and a pen." Zhao Hu turned and looked at Liu Ruonan and said. Liu Ruonan hesitated, but after seeing Chen Lei's determined gaze, she went to find some paper and a pen.
Zhao Hu sat down at a nearby table, wrote a death agreement, and finally signed his own name. His handwriting was ugly and crooked, but just barely recognizable.
Chen Lei took a look at the general content, which was nothing more than that someone was killed and it had nothing to do with the law, and then he signed his name.
Even though the farce ended like this, the deputy manager was still very dissatisfied before leaving. He had never thought that Zhao Hu would solve the problem in this way and not destroy Liu Ruonan's shop. He was very disgusted by this.
Zhao Hu had no choice but to comfort him: "Deputy Manager, you have to think about it this way. Even if we solve this matter behind closed doors, even if the case is a little more complicated to handle, the police will eventually solve it. By then, we will not be able to escape the punishment of the law. This solution is the safest. They pack up and leave on their own, leaving the shop for you. Isn't that a good idea?"
"Are you sure?" The deputy manager was still a little hesitant.
"In these years, I have never met an opponent." He said, bending his arms and patting his strong muscles.
This gave the deputy manager confidence again.
After the deputy manager and his group left, the mayor said angrily, "Girl, who are they?"
"The deputy manager of this old cinema." Liu Ruonan responded truthfully.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen in the provincial capital. It's time to clean things up!" The mayor sighed deeply and turned to Li Zhao, saying, "Go back and investigate thoroughly. You know what to do."
"Yes." Li Zhao responded.
Then, the mayor said to Liu Ruonan with a heavy heart, "This martial arts competition is truly ridiculous. I hope you can properly resolve this matter. It must never happen again."
Liu Ruonan nodded and agreed to temporarily suppress the matter. However, it seemed that there was no way to end this matter, so she could only hide it from the mayor for the time being.
How can I not be angry when such bad habits appear in the place I am in charge of?
The mayor is a clean and impartial man. He will not allow such bad habits to appear in the city he leads.
After everyone left, Liu Ruonan walked up to Chen Lei and asked with concern: "Brother, is it okay?"
"Ruonan, don't worry." Chen Lei patted his chest, his expression full of confidence. Honestly, Chen Lei had always practiced at home, but had never sparred with a true martial artist. He didn't know Zhao Hu's background, and he didn't know if he could match him.
Let’s put it this way! Even Chen Lei himself was unsure.
However, he knew that for Liu Ruonan, he had to give it his all.
The challenge is scheduled for nine o'clock tomorrow morning, in the open space not far from the store.
In the evening, Zhuang Sheng came and Liu Ruonan told him everything that had happened today. This matter could not be concealed. It had already involved lives and it was impossible to continue hiding it.
Zhuang Sheng was furious and wanted to go to the commander to resolve the matter. However, Chen Lei refused, saying it was just a contest between martial artists and there was no need to mobilize the military. The peace that this duel could bring to Liu Ruonan was worth it.
Zhuang Sheng was deeply touched. He had never expected Chen Lei to be so loyal to him and his wife. To be honest, Zhuang Sheng didn't understand Chen Lei's true intentions and was still a little worried about him.
However, he was very familiar with the kind of competition among martial artists. Just like him, when competing with his comrades, he always had a desire to unleash his full strength and defeat the opponent.
