Chapter 083: I'm About to Hit Someone, Come Catch Me Quickly

After listening, Song Kai more or less understood. He thought for a moment and said, "If it's just a few days in prison, that's not a problem. But Officer Wu, I've sacrificed so much—going to jail, becoming an undercover, relying on my wit to uncover clues. If I crack this case, shouldn't you reward me?"

Wu Hongying considered it seriously. "Well, how about a five-thousand-yuan bonus?"

"Damn... I'm out! I'm going to sleep. I have classes and university entrance exams tomorrow," Song Kai replied, rising to leave.

Wu Hongying laughed, grabbed Song Kai’s arm, and said, "You little brat, five thousand and you think it's not enough? Besides, if I hadn't helped you last time, you wouldn’t even be sitting the exams—you would’ve been expelled! Fine, fine, tell me what you want."

Song Kai answered immediately, "First, teach me how to shoot—and do it wholeheartedly, for free, until I become an expert. Second, forget those two motorcycle incidents—no more using bikes to threaten me. Third, if I mess up in Tengyun City, you help clean up my mess. Fourth, once the Dragon Across the River case is resolved, you'll be free, so help me investigate my parents' deaths."

Wu Hongying nodded. "No problem, absolutely no problem! If you really catch Dragon Across the River, I promise all of that."

"Good, then let’s hug—it’ll be like swearing a blood oath," Song Kai said.

"Get lost!" Wu Hongying kicked Song Kai away with her long legs.

Song Kai grinned and returned to his room.

He understood perfectly well: with Wu Hongying’s help, his investigation into his parents' deaths and his fight against Tianyao Corporation would become much easier.

As for Dragon Across the River, Song Kai had seen his skills; indeed, he was far more formidable than most, but at the end of the day, he was just a martial arts-trained drug lord. In terms of skill, Dragon Across the River was no match for him.

Song Kai thought about it and went to sleep.

The next day, Song Kai had nothing to do but wait for Wu Hongying to come arrest him.

He headed to Black Horse Gym, not far from his neighborhood, and took advantage of the free time to work on his abs.

He was doing crunches when someone whispered, "She’s here!"

Suddenly, half the men in the gym stood up and marched toward the windows, as if on military parade.

Song Kai was startled. Who was coming with such influence?

He jumped up and peered at the window.

Just then, the sound of high heels echoed, and a woman in a floral dress entered. She was about twenty, hair tied in a ponytail, radiating purity and sunshine, her face strikingly beautiful, lips curled in a charming smile.

A gym like this was always short on women. The sudden appearance of such a delicate, lovely woman even made Song Kai feel drawn to her.

She smiled at the drooling men around her, then walked into a nearby yoga studio.

Immediately, all the “wolves” in the gym rushed to the yoga room’s door and windows, craning their necks to catch a glimpse.

Song Kai was speechless. He admitted the girl was beautiful, but was it really necessary? Had they never seen a woman before?

He continued his crunches.

Soon, the sound of men salivating echoed again.

Curious, Song Kai went over and jumped up to look inside.

Seven or eight women were practicing yoga, and the beautiful girl was the instructor.

Now, she wore a blue yoga outfit, performing a full lotus pose—stunningly attractive.

"Who is she?" Song Kai asked.

"Yingying," a nearby man replied, wiping his mouth. "Pretty, right? Tsk tsk, it's her third day here. I don’t know if the gym owner did this on purpose, but since Yingying arrived, male members have increased by over a hundred. Especially at this time, you can’t even get a treadmill anymore."

Song Kai chuckled.

Indeed, a goddess of this caliber could really boost membership.

If he ever opened his own gym and brought Xu Ling to work reception, the crowd would be even bigger.

Well, that idea was too unrealistic.

Song Kai returned to his workout.

A bunch of men glued themselves to the windows, watching yoga.

When the hour-long session ended and Yingying left, the men, burning with excitement, assaulted the gym equipment with renewed ferocity.

Some complained about not being allowed to join the yoga class.

At seven in the evening, Song Kai was about to leave for home when Yingying returned.

The men in the gym stared covertly, wiping their mouths.

Song Kai felt amused. He changed clothes and headed for the door.

Suddenly, a young man burst in, shoving Song Kai aside. "Move it, idiot!"

Song Kai staggered from the push.

"Damn," he cursed. Where did this jerk come from, so aggressive?

"Don't mess with him, man. You really don’t want to provoke that guy," a runner nearby grabbed Song Kai.

Song Kai spat. "Who is he, acting so tough, bumping into me and cursing?"

"Tang Fu, Young Master Tang, from the Tang family," the runner said. "You really don’t want to mess with him."

"Tang family—are they rich?"

"It’s not about money. The Tang family has both wealth and power, that’s what makes them formidable. Big shots on both sides of the law. Just let it go."

Song Kai nodded, not looking for trouble.

Tang Fu had reached the yoga room door, kicking aside a man who was peeking inside.

"Get lost! She's my woman. How dare you look at her? Get out of here!" Tang Fu shouted.

"Who the hell are you?" The kicked man was strong and retaliated.

Suddenly, a punch landed.

The guy who’d been kicked took a hit to the face, collapsing and struggling to get up.

Song Kai noticed two bodyguards behind Tang Fu.

They weren’t particularly muscular, but their punches were fast and their stances steady—clearly skilled in combat.

No wonder Tang Fu was so arrogant.

Tang Fu entered the yoga room, grabbed Yingying. "Let’s go, Yingzi, come home with me! Look at you, dressed so sexy, letting all those losers outside ogle you. You’re getting taken advantage of!"

"Let go of me! Tang Fu, I have nothing to do with you. Stay out of my business," Yingying struggled.

Tang Fu held her hand tight. "No, you're coming home with me. If you need money, just ask—I have plenty. Hundreds of thousands, millions, whatever you want! But you’re not doing this job, not letting those losers benefit from you!"

"I told you, my affairs are none of your concern! Help! I don’t know this man, someone save me!" Yingying cried out.

Everyone outside knew Tang Fu's ruthlessness and power; no one dared intervene.

Tang Fu reached to grab her waist, trying to force her out.

Song Kai frowned. Damn, this is shameless!

Without hesitation, Song Kai grabbed a nearby vase.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The runner was startled.

"Dealing with him. Hero saves the beauty," Song Kai replied.

"Don't be stupid. You’ll end up a beaten fool, and probably get locked up. Don’t get involved with rich kids’ business. With a woman that beautiful, she’s bound to attract these awful rich brats. Nothing to be done," the runner sighed.

Song Kai’s mind sparked. Damn, getting locked up—that’s the perfect opportunity!

He immediately texted Wu Hongying: "Outside our neighborhood, Black Horse Gym, I'm about to beat someone up. Come arrest me, don’t miss the chance."

Instantly, she replied, "Alright."

Song Kai was relieved. He grabbed the vase and in two steps reached a bodyguard, smashing it down.

The vase shattered. One bodyguard went down without a sound.

The other turned.

Song Kai delivered a ruthless kick straight to the groin.

The bodyguard dropped to his knees, unable to speak.

Song Kai grabbed a shard of the vase and struck the bodyguard’s head.

"Damn!"

"That’s fierce!"

"Nice one, man!"

The crowd applauded Song Kai.

He entered the yoga studio and slapped Tang Fu across the face. "Let go of her!"

Smack!

Tang Fu was stunned.

Yingying recoiled in fright.

Tang Fu paused, then pointed at Song Kai. "You... you dare hit me?"

Smack!

Song Kai backhanded him again, making Tang Fu’s nose bleed profusely.

"Idiot, still acting tough? Listen, Yingying can do whatever she wants! She’s the goddess of our gym. If you ever bother her again, I’ll kill you!" Song Kai kicked Tang Fu in the stomach.

Tang Fu collapsed.

He had never suffered such humiliation!

He pointed at Song Kai. "You bastard, you’re dead! I tell you, you’re dead!"

"Oh? Still have a tough mouth? I’ll teach you a lesson!" Song Kai kicked Tang Fu several times.

Tang Fu spat blood, never having been beaten like this before. He was used to holding others down, never the one suffering.

Unable to endure, Tang Fu wiped his bloody nose, pleading, "Spare me, spare me, don’t hit me anymore, you’ll kill me!"

"Then tell me, will you keep pestering Yingying?" Song Kai pressed his foot on Tang Fu’s face.

"No, no, I won’t bother Yingzi again," Tang Fu cried.

"Good!"

"So satisfying!"

"Man, you really are a hero!"

The men around shouted with excitement.

Just then, police sirens wailed outside...
