Chapter 55 A Master? Inspecting the Printing Plant

When Xiao Li saw Cao Tai's clasped-fist salute turned towards him, he inwardly groaned, forced a smile, and was about to speak.

A fist rapidly expanded in front of him. With a lingering smile on his face, Xiao Li instinctively dodged to the side, his right arm sweeping out in a swift motion.

Instantly, it felt like hitting a hard iron bar; his forearm went numb. He shifted his body to the side, his hand gestures changed to a grappling motion, his movements were as nimble as floating clouds, and he lunged forward, intending to engage in close combat. However, Jiang Zichui's strike missed its mark.

Unexpectedly, Cao Tai was even faster. He also turned his horse to the side, but in the opposite direction from Xiao Li. The two brushed past each other, and in a flash, Cao Tai grabbed Xiao Li's wrist.

He continued to charge forward, grabbing Xiao Li's arm one last time, flipping over and kicking back, striking Feng Yuxiu's quickly raised crossed arms in a blocking motion. The kick sent Feng staggering back several steps before his back slammed against a pillar in the hall with a loud thud, and he managed to regain his footing with trembling hands as he raised his fists in a boxing stance.

At the same time, the right hand that was holding Xiao Li's arm suddenly twisted and threw him, because Xiao Li had already twisted his waist and turned around. His left hand swung his elbow to try to hit the forearm of the iron hand that was holding his wrist, but in the end he missed. Before Xiao Li could swing his elbow down, he was thrown several meters away by a huge force. He took two steps back until his back foot braced against the wall to stabilize his body.

As Cao Tai suddenly lunged forward with a straight punch at Xiao Li, Feng Yuxiu, with his extensive combat experience, pounced on Cao Tai. This is why Cao Tai didn't engage in a prolonged fight with Xiao Li, but instead dodged past him and then flipped over to kick him.

The sudden kick, delivered with maximum speed, left Feng Yuxiu unable to dodge or switch from defense to offense; he could only raise his arms and take Cao Tai's kick head-on.

At this moment, the three of them stood in a straight line, with Cao Tai in the middle. He stood sideways in a bow stance, with his front hand facing Feng Yuxiu and his back hand pointing towards Xiao Li. Although his calm gaze was fixed on Feng Yuxiu, his mental energy spread out, and the scene with a radius of more than 20 meters centered on Cao Tai was completely reflected in his mind.

Xiao Li and Feng Yuxiu looked on with shock and confusion, while Shen Xue, who had been sitting still, jumped up in surprise.

Cao Tai just said he wanted to spar with the two, and the other three didn't exactly look down on him! Well, everyone was indeed skeptical, thinking he was just joking. But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the two masters were sent flying several meters away.

At first, Xiao Li smiled shyly, Feng Yuxiu gave a forced smile, and Shen Xue couldn't help but laugh. Now, all the smiles have disappeared, replaced by expressions of disbelief.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Xiao Li exchanged a glance with Feng Yuxiu through Cao Tai's shadow, and then simultaneously exerted force with both legs. One leaped out of the forest like a tiger, while the other darted away like a swallow in the spring breeze...

A few minutes later, Cao Tai sat upright in his chair and savored the still-warm tea.

Xiao Li rubbed his sore and swollen left shoulder, his arm hanging limply, unable to exert any force for the time being.

Feng Yuxiu covered his swollen eye, his right eye was so swollen that he could barely see anything, and he looked very ridiculous.

Shen Xue sat in the chair, constantly rubbing her slender waist.

Yes, in the end, even Shen Xue joined in, and the three of them ganged up on Mr. Cao. The pressure was put on, but it was still not enough.

Feng Yuxiu's Xinyi Liuhequan incorporated the wrestling techniques of the former Tartar Shanpu Camp, Xiao Li was proficient in Cai Li Fo, and Shen Xue's wrestling and grappling skills had a foundation in Bagua. When she used the Golden Silk Eyebrows technique, it caught Cao Tai's eye.

Unfortunately, the woman was too weak. When she used the wrist-grabbing and pressing technique, she managed to grab Cao Tai's wrist, but she couldn't press it down with her strength. Instead, Cao Tai pushed her away with his hands on his hips. Although she wasn't sprained, the muscles in her waist were tense. She could only find a place to sit down and massage her waist muscles to relax.

The two top fighters fared a bit worse. Xiao Li still had to go to work and sign documents and write reports with his right hand, so he had a minor injury to his left shoulder and couldn't move his left hand for the next three to five days.

As for Feng Yuxiu, Cao Tai thought he looked down on people at the beginning, so he punched him in the right eye, so that he could only look at people through his slits for the time being.

......

A week has passed since the incident of one man fighting three in Cui Kui Li. Feng Yuxiu and his wife have agreed to come and work for Cao Tai, but they can only do so after they have finished dealing with some personal matters.

The two declined Cao Tai's offer to help them with their visas. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that Feng Yuxiu had been to Hong Kong Island when he was 16 years old and inherited an old house in Tai O Typhoon Shelter from his maternal grandmother. He had a Hong Kong Island identity card.

Lai Chi Kok, Sin Chau Printing Factory.

This was Cao Tai's first visit to inspect the printing factory, which he had purchased almost a month ago.

The entire printing factory consists of only one two-story building, with fewer than 30 employees. The factory manager's surname is Gu, given name Dazhi, and he is a middle-aged man of about 40 years old.

At this moment, Cao Tai was standing in front of a Speedmaster 72V printing press, looking coldly at Gu Dazhi in front of him, and pointed at the printing press: "About a month ago, I bought this factory. The most important assets, besides the factory building, are these two printing presses."

Before the transaction, I specifically hired an expert to carefully inspect both machines. After the inspection, the expert gave a thumbs up and said that the machines were well maintained!

You're telling me now that the machine broke down in less than a month? And what parts will cost over 4 yuan to replace? Are you an idiot, or are you trying to take advantage of me?

At this moment, Factory Director Gu was sweating profusely, his shirt was soaked with sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Boss, I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry! I don't know why the machine broke down." At this point, all Factory Manager Gu could do was keep bowing and admitting his mistake.

"Master Chen, right?" At this moment, Cao Tai ignored Factory Director Gu and instead looked at a lean man in his thirties wearing work clothes standing behind him.

The lazy "Yes" was answered with a nonchalant expression, which basically confirmed that he didn't take Mr. Cao seriously.

"I'd like to ask you, as a master technician who has used this machine, you must have printed at least hundreds of thousands of newspapers and magazines with it! It had never had any problems before, so why did it develop such a big problem so soon after I bought it?" Seeing the other person's expression, Cao Tai's tone became even calmer.

"How would I know? People get old and die, and machines will naturally break down when they get old."

"Okay, I understand." Cao Tai looked at the still reckless Master Chen and winked at the two security guards Wang Weiguo had sent to the prison. "Take him to the restroom to sober up."

"Hey, what are you doing? I know Brother Crab from Yi Sheng..." Although Master Chen struggled as hard as he could, he was unable to move because his arms were locked by the two elites. He was pushed towards the bathroom.

"Boss...boss..." Factory Manager Gu hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Speak your mind." Cao Tai, seeing his indecisive manner, held back his reprimand.

"That crab guy is from this area..."

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion arose downstairs.

"Xiao Fu, go down and take a look." This time, Cao Tai only brought Xiao Fu with him when he came to inspect the printing factory. In addition to the four security guards that Wang Weiguo left at the printing factory, there were only six of them who were truly his own people on site.
