The next morning, Li Jie woke up.
Upon seeing Lok Hye-jung lying naked beside him, Lee Jie's expression changed drastically.
Yue Huizhen seemed to sense Li Jie's gaze, opened her dazed eyes, and said, "You're awake?"
Li Jie asked, "What...what's going on here?"
Yue Huizhen said, "Isn't it obvious? I'm already your woman."
Li Jie, recalling how he had been plied with alcohol the previous night, frowned and said, "You guys set me up."
Le Huizhen said directly, "It was Mr. Shen's idea, and I agreed. Li Jie, I am now your woman. If you want me, we will get married. If you don't want me, you don't need to take any responsibility. Blame me for being wishful thinking."
Looking at Yue Huizhen, whose eyes were red, Li Jie sighed and said, "I'm just a bodyguard, how could you like me?"
Yue Huizhen said, "If there's a reason for liking someone, then it's not liking them. Li Jie, just tell me straight, are you willing to marry me or not?"
Li Jie said, "Let's get married after the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament is over."
"good."
Overjoyed, Yue Huizhen burst into tears and buried her face in Li Jie's arms.
The bed started shaking again.
At 3 p.m., Li Jie arrived at Shen Dong's home.
Shen Dong was playing with the child when he saw Li Jie and asked with a smile, "When are you getting married?"
Li Jie said, "Brother Dong, I really don't know whether to thank you or blame you?"
Shen Dong patted Li Jie on the shoulder and said, "Whether you thank me or blame me, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you treat Miss Le well. She's such a beautiful woman, she put aside her pride and took the initiative to pursue you. Why? Isn't it because she genuinely likes you?"
Li Jie nodded and said, "I understand."
Shen Dong said, "It's good that you understand. Starting tomorrow, I'll give you a month's leave. Take Miss Le back to the mainland for a trip and cultivate your relationship. When you come back, I'll promote Miss Le."
Li Jie said, "Thank you, Brother Dong."
Having resolved Li Jie's personal issues, Shen Dong was finally relieved of a worry.
A week later, the baby turned one month old, and Shen Dong held a grand one-month celebration at the Tengfei Hotel.
The major tycoons of Hong Kong Island came to offer their congratulations, and even the Chief Executive Angela sent a gift.
The Shen family of Shen Dong has been hailed by major media outlets as "Hong Kong Island's No. 1 wealthy family".
On July 22nd, the World Martial Arts Tournament began.
Two weeks ago, Hong Kong Island had already become lively as top experts from dozens of forces around the world arrived one after another.
The largest group came from Japan, which wanted to avenge its previous defeat.
They dispatched a total of 24 experts, half of whom came from the military and half from the Karate Association.
The superpower, the United States, was not to be outdone, sending eight military experts and ten civilian experts.
The most attention-grabbing figures are undoubtedly the martial arts masters of the Xia Kingdom.
Twenty-five martial arts masters from the mainland, thirteen masters from various overseas organizations, two martial arts masters from Taiwan, and twelve martial arts masters from Hong Kong Island.
There are 284 participants in the entire World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament.
To ensure absolute fairness in the competition, Shen Dong assembled a referee team composed entirely of renowned figures from the martial arts world around the globe. The head of the referee team was Cheng Yutian, the leader of the Hong Gang.
At the same time, Shen Dong also hired 22 top medical experts to form the medical team for the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, with the aim of doing everything possible to reduce casualties during the competition.
Without exception, all of these medical experts accepted the invitations without hesitation.
No one would want to miss a martial arts tournament like this, where they compete to be the world's best.
"Mr. Cheng, it's a pleasure to meet you."
In the conference room of a super-luxury cruise ship docked in the port, Shen Dong smiled and extended his hand to Cheng Yutian.
Cheng Yutian shook hands with Shen Dong and said, "Mr. Shen, you've truly put in a grand gesture by hosting the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament!"
Shen Dong said, "I don't deserve such praise. I just want to make a contribution to Chinese martial arts. After all, I am also a martial artist. Seeing Chinese martial arts declining day by day, while other martial arts such as boxing, karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Sanda are rising, I am a little anxious."
Cheng Yutian raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Shen, is your purpose in holding this martial arts tournament to promote Chinese Kung Fu?"
Shen Dong said, "Of course. The reputation of Xia Kingdom Kung Fu as the best in the world has been around for decades. Not only foreigners, but many people in China no longer believe it. I organized this martial arts tournament to vindicate Xia Kingdom Kung Fu. I want the whole world to know that the eight characters on this signboard are absolutely well-deserved."
Cheng Yutian bowed respectfully to Shen Dong and said, "Mr. Shen, your righteousness is admirable. But have you considered what if you lose?"
Shen Dong said confidently, "With me here, we won't lose."
Cheng Yutian asked in surprise, "Are you going to take action personally too?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Of course. I don't want a foreign contestant to suddenly appear and win the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament."
Cheng Yutian laughed and said, "It seems Mr. Shen is very confident in his skills."
Shen Dong said, "If a martial artist lacks confidence, then he is a complete failure. Mr. Cheng, this is the list of participants for this martial arts tournament. According to the plan, the participants must publicly test their strength tomorrow morning."
“We have prepared a force measuring device. If they fail to reach 300 kilograms three times in a row, they will not be qualified to participate in this competition.”
"The competition procedure needs to be agreed upon by you and the other eleven referees by tomorrow afternoon, in order to ensure fairness and impartiality as much as possible."
"Mr. Cheng, I'm entrusting this year's World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament to you."
Cheng Yutian said, "No problem. Mr. Shen, what would happen if you encountered a competitor from the Tengfei Martial Arts Academy?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Then they can only blame their bad luck."
Cheng Yutian said, "Understood. Rest assured, I guarantee that this conference will be fair and just."
After chatting for a while, Shen Dong left.
He was also a contestant in this martial arts tournament, and it was somewhat inappropriate for him to spend too much time with the referees.
Besides the contestants and bigwigs from various forces, countless wealthy people also came to Hong Kong Island, wanting to witness this most grand martial arts tournament in history.
The luxury cruise ship, Soaring, can carry up to 2,800 people, but the number of participants in the martial arts tournament alone, including boxers, crew members, staff, service personnel, and journalists from major media outlets around the world, exceeded 1,500.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the vehicles are not overloaded, Shen Dong imposed restrictions on the wealthy.
First, they must bring three hundred million US dollars for gambling; second, they can only bring a maximum of two accompanying persons.
Even so, the number of wealthy individuals who signed up still reached 526.
There are more than a hundred wealthy people from Arab countries alone.
