Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

Clap, clap.

The sound of camera shutters clicking continuously echoed throughout the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

Flashbulbs were constantly going off in the banquet hall.

More than a dozen uniformed police officers cordoned off the area to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.

However, the reporters had received the news early and rushed in to take photos.

These people, whose newspapers were all located in the foreign concessions, were either high-ranking officials or had foreigners backing them. They couldn't be driven away; they could only be allowed to take pictures.

"Boss, the higher-ups said we have to suppress the news and not let it get out."

At the entrance, a young police officer spoke to the middle-aged police officer beside him.

This middle-aged police officer is the squad leader of this team.

Right now, he's smoking one cigarette after another.

Upon hearing his subordinates' words, he cursed, "None of these guys are ones we can afford to offend. If you dare to go up against us today, you'll be kicked out of the police station tomorrow. Any of you who don't want to work here can try."

After these words were spoken, the police officers fell silent.

Many of these people have no connections or background.

Only by having connections with the police can one live a decent life in Tianhai.

Without this skin, you'd fall to the dock and have to compete with the laborers on the ship for work.

Nobody wants this.

"Moreover, things here are very complicated. Did you see who those dead people were? They were foreigners."

Normally, when you see foreigners, you all bow and scrape, but now you're dying such a miserable death.

"Just watch from the sidelines. If you dare get involved, I guarantee you'll die without even knowing how."

The middle-aged captain lit another cigarette and took a deep drag.

Only through the smoke could he suppress the panic within him.

Upon receiving the case and arriving at the scene, he witnessed the scene inside the banquet hall.

A foreigner torn in two.

Blood was splattered everywhere, on the ground and on the walls.

The dried, blackened bloodstains, combined with the power of the foreigners, created an eerie scene.

The moment he saw that scene, a sense of panic filled his heart.

It was as if some unseen ghost was watching him intently.

This is something no human being could do.

"These guys dare to film anything, aren't they afraid of getting harassed later?"

The middle-aged squad leader looked at the reporters in the banquet hall and thought to himself.

This was something that terrified him more than the deaths of foreigners.

The middle-aged squad leader's experience is quite impressive, even by ordinary standards.

He wasn't a local from Tianhai, but came from the mainland. He was an outsider with no connections who worked his way up to where he is now, joining the police force and becoming a squad leader with more than ten men under his command.

Because he came from the mainland, he had seen scenes left behind by demons and monsters.

That was a village.

Located near the county seat, it can be considered a wealthy village with a population of over ten thousand.

But when he passed through the village, all he saw was deathly silence.

Severed limbs and dried, blackened blood—even livestock were not spared, ending up as mangled corpses.

The scene was exactly the same as that in the banquet hall.

Even now, more than twenty years later, that incident can still wake the middle-aged squad leader from his dream.

This was also one of the reasons he came to Tianhai, as he had heard that there were no monsters or evil spirits in coastal areas.

"Now it's happened again. Is it man-made, or...?" The middle-aged squad leader threw another cigarette butt on the ground and sighed deeply.

But soon, disciples from the Iron Body Martial Arts School appeared and told part of what had happened there, and the panic dissipated.

"It was done by a man. He was a young man with great strength. Several of us couldn't stop him. After we went inside, I heard Master Luo shouting something like 'Chen Yi,' which should be his name."

"That's what the disciple from the Iron Body Martial Arts School said."

He was one of the disciples who tried to stop the fight inside, and he fled immediately after the fight broke out.

Just now, he cautiously peeked back and saw that the martial arts school was surrounded by police officers, which gave him the courage to come out.

"So it was made by a human."

The middle-aged squad leader breathed a sigh of relief.

A weight has been lifted from my heart.

But why does this name sound so familiar?

He thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened.

Chen Yi, isn't he the big boss of the dock gang?

The things the other party did during this period have caused quite a stir.

Some unlucky officers in the police department participated in the firefight at the docks and died there.

It's fair to say that when Chen Yi is mentioned, the police officers in the patrol department all avoid him like the plague.

Fearing they would be conscripted, they went to the docks to fight the other side.

In the past few days, the dock gang has not made any moves, and it was assumed that they were satisfied with occupying the dock.

Unexpectedly, so little time has passed, and yet another shocking case has been committed.

"The foreigners are all dead. That Chen Yi, there's practically nothing he wouldn't dare to do."

The middle-aged squad leader suppressed his shock, suddenly drew his gun from his waist, found a spot that wasn't a vital organ, and fired a shot directly at himself.

bang.

The gunshot startled everyone around, and the police officers instinctively drew their weapons on alert: "What happened? Where did the gunshot come from?"

Then, looking in the direction from which the sound came, I saw the middle-aged squad leader lying on the ground, with a pool of blood on the ground.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"They were gunmen from the dock gang."

The middle-aged squad leader, pale-faced, said, "The other side was hiding here, probably to silence us. They just didn't expect us to outnumber them, so they just fired a random shot and hit me."

"Damn it, the dock gang is completely lawless. Do they think they own Tianhai?" The police officers were indignant.

The middle-aged squad leader also looked angry.

But he thought to himself, "If the dock gang boss does something like this, there's probably going to be another fight. I'd better stay home and recover from my injuries."

Shoot yourself, and you can control it.

But when it comes to firefighting, bullets don't have eyes.

He had worked so hard to get the position of squad leader in the police station, and he didn't want to lose his life like this.

At this time, it was also time for the Iron Body Martial Arts School's formal banquet.

Elites from Tianhai, businessmen, and even some popular dancers came here one after another.

I'm wondering why there's a group of police officers outside the Iron Body Martial Arts School today, and reporters inside as well.

As they approached and learned the news from the police officers, they were all astonished.

Some of the bolder ones even went into the banquet hall for a look, and then came out pale-faced, shocked by what they saw inside.

These people left quickly, contacting acquaintances and informing them of what had happened.

That night, many respectable people and elites in Tianhai learned about what had happened at the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

My heart sank; I felt a great thing was about to happen.

Those who are not "respectable" or "elite" enough are unaware of this news.

However, the Iron Body Martial Arts School incident did not prevent reporters from entering.

Many reporters took photos.

Upon returning to the newspaper office, the staff realized the gravity of the matter and printed the newspaper overnight, preparing to publish it the following day.
