The person who arrived was none other than Officer Li.
Officer Li seemed to have just finished his shift and rushed back without even having time to change his clothes.
As soon as she entered, she knelt down before her grandfather, Li Zhengguo, offered her blessings, and then took out a beautifully packaged calligraphy and painting.
"Grandpa, this is a token of my affection, please don't refuse!"
"Alright, Grandpa accepts it. Now sit down and eat!"
"Grandpa, why don't you open it and see what gift I gave you? Oh! Wang Bin, what are you doing here?"
As Officer Li was speaking, she quickly noticed Wang Bin sitting next to her and was immediately startled. If she hadn't forgotten to bring her service weapon, she probably would have pulled it out and pointed it at Wang Bin.
Wang Bin gave a wry smile, stood up, and said awkwardly, "Officer Li, we meet again!"
"You two know each other?" Li Zhengguo asked curiously.
"Hmph! Grandpa, you don't know how wicked Wang Bin is! I finally managed to find a painting by Zheng Banqiao through some connections, but he took advantage of being richer than me and stole the gift I was going to buy for you!" At this moment, Officer Li had lost all his police authority and was just like a wronged little girl complaining to an adult.
"Um, Officer Li, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were buying that painting as a gift for your master. I also wanted to buy a gift for my master, but I know nothing about calligraphy and painting, so I had to ask you to help me appraise it. Otherwise, if I were to appraise it myself, I probably wouldn't be able to buy a genuine piece even if I spent hundreds of millions! I'm really sorry for offending you, Officer Li!"
"Ruman, what exactly is going on?"
When Officer Li heard his grandfather's question, he had no choice but to explain the matter in detail. After listening, everyone praised Wang Bin for his intelligence. Just as he said, someone like him who knew nothing about calligraphy and painting would not necessarily be able to buy genuine antiques even if he spent hundreds of millions of dollars dealing with those unscrupulous antique dealers.
"Haha, alright, alright, Ruman, don't be angry with Wang Bin anymore. He'll be your fourth brother from now on, so you have to take good care of him and don't bully him!"
"Grandpa, he's the one who bullied me!"
"Wang Bin, where are your Zheng Banqiao calligraphy and paintings?"
"Oh, I gave it to Third Brother!"
"Mingren, quickly bring Wang Bin's gift here so I can see it!"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
"Grandpa, you're so biased! You haven't even looked at my calligraphy and paintings yet!"
"Okay, okay, let's watch it together!"
Soon Li Mingyang brought over Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting, and Li Zhengguo and Yuan Qingzi were full of praise when they saw it.
Seeing that Yuan Qingzi seemed to also like calligraphy and painting, Wang Bin thought that he would buy a piece for his second master when he had the chance.
After looking at the calligraphy and paintings, everyone continued eating.
With Officer Li's arrival, the atmosphere at the dinner party improved considerably. Officer Li frequently sought opportunities to humiliate Wang Bin, leaving Wang Bin feeling utterly defeated.
Yuan Qingzi ate very little, drank a little wine, and then went back to her room to rest.
"Wang Bin, my older brother told me you're really good at Tai Chi. How about we have a spar after dinner?"
"Let's do this another day?"
"What do you mean another day? Grandpa's here too, so we can have a friendly spar and he can give us some pointers."
"Second sister, let me give you some advice: you are no match for fourth brother!"
"Brother, I'm not much worse than you, so how could he be more capable than you?"
"Yes, my fourth brother is indeed a bit more capable than me!"
"Hmph! I don't believe it!"
"Ruman, Wang Bin is now part of our family. Stop calling him Wang Bin all the time. You should call him Fourth Brother!"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Finally, Wang Bin couldn't resist Officer Li's nagging and agreed. When everyone heard that Wang Bin and Li Ruman were going to have a martial arts competition, they lost interest in the dinner. However, it was not advisable to have a martial arts competition right after dinner, so the old man told them to rest for half an hour before sparring.
Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the backyard, leaving an open space for Wang Bin and Li Ruman to have their duel.
After the two stood still, the duel officially began. Wang Bin was unwilling to make the first move, so he let Li Ruman make the first move.
Without any hesitation, Li Ruman launched an attack on Wang Bin using Tai Chi.
Li Ruman's Tai Chi was very good, and her martial arts level had reached the middle level of a second-rate master. However, she encountered Wang Bin, whose martial arts level had already entered the ranks of near-first-rate masters. No matter how Li Ruman attacked or set traps, Wang Bin was able to resolve them one by one. In the end, Li Ruman directly threw a tantrum and said that Wang Bin was bullying her and refused to fight anymore.
Seeing Li Ruman's sullen face after being angered by Wang Bin, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Big brother, I'm no match for fourth brother, please avenge me!"
"I'll let it go, but I don't think I'm a match for Fourth Brother. Please, Fourth Brother, show mercy!"
As he spoke, Li Mingyang also walked into the arena, ready to have a match with Wang Bin.
Actually, after hearing that his grandfather had taken on a disciple, he really wanted to spar with Wang Bin. And after discovering today in the backyard that Wang Bin's aptitude was better than his own, he wanted to spar with Wang Bin even more. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to find an opportunity. Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?
Li Mingyang didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Bin and made the first move.
Wang Bin felt that Li Mingyang was much better than Li Ruman, not only because of his deeper understanding of Tai Chi, but also because of his better physical condition.
If it weren't for his abnormal personality traits, he probably wouldn't be a match for Li Mingyang.
Even so, it was difficult for Wang Bin to win. After the two exchanged thirty or forty moves, Wang Bin gradually gained the upper hand.
The reason why Li Mingyang was able to fight Wang Bin to a standstill is that Li Mingyang has been practicing Tai Chi since childhood, while Wang Bin has only recently started learning it and is far less proficient in Tai Chi than Li Mingyang.
