Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

The Iron Body Martial Arts School tragedy was not covered up at all; it was even printed in newspapers and spread throughout the streets and alleys of Tianhai.

In just one day, even the dockworkers who made a living by carrying goods could achieve this.

Everyone knows that a group of foreigners, along with the martial arts school owner who had sought refuge with the school, were taken down by Chen, the boss of the dock gang.

On the dock, a group of laborers had just finished unloading a ship's cargo and were taking a break.

They chatted casually with each other.

The laborers' conversations consisted mainly of telling dirty jokes and bragging.

However, because of the Iron Body Martial Arts School incident, their casual conversation today turned to that matter.

"You've all read the newspapers, haven't you? That was a martial arts school located in the foreign concession. I don't know how many silver dollars it would take to open it. Now it's been hung up on Warehouse Street by Boss Chen and is now a corpse."

"It's broad daylight now, who gave you the right to yell like that? If those dockworkers hear you, you'll be feeding the fish in the sea."

"Master Yi, it's Master Yi, I called you the wrong person."

"The dock gang isn't that fierce. I think they were quite nice. Don't project the Green Gang's problems onto others. Master Yi even gave us extra pay."

"No, I personally witnessed the dock gang drowning many people at sea last time. Many people have seen it."

"Those people seem to have connections with the Green Gang. They resisted when the dock gang took over their shops, so they deserved to be drowned. It's not as terrifying as you say."

"Alright, alright, let's be more respectful in our daily lives. Even if the sea sinks, it won't sink us. Weren't we talking about the things in the newspapers? Why are you bringing this up again?"

The laborers chatted idly, changing the subject before bringing it back to the main point.

"Master Yi actually killed all the foreigners, and even the spineless cowards who sided with the foreigners. He really did a great job."

"Master Yi is really different. Those Green Gang members are usually fierce and menacing towards us, but they bow and scrape like lapdogs when they see foreigners. They are nothing like Master Yi."

"Master Yi is the hope of our Great Xuan. Seeing this makes me want to join the dock gang too."

"Why didn't you do this sooner? It's really hard to join the dock gang now. If I could, I would have joined long ago."

"Master Yi is so impressive! When will I be able to be as impressive as Master Yi? I'd even be willing to give up ten years of my life."

The laborers were talking.

His words were filled with faith in, admiration for, awe of, and pride in Chen Yi.

After all, Master Yi was a laborer who came from the docks.

So when watching what Chen Yi did, there was a natural sense of identification, as if one could also be as powerful as Chen Yi.

However, besides the dock, there were also dock streets and alleys in the foreign concession.

The ordinary people also had great admiration for Chen Yi.

Because Chen Yi was the only person they had ever seen who dared to brazenly kill a foreigner.

In addition to what I did before.

It was as if there was nothing in this world that Chen Yi was afraid of, and nothing that Chen Yi dared not do.

Naturally, they both respected and feared him.

But whether they respected or feared him, in their hearts, Chen Yi's status had risen to a very high level.

Some people are worried.

If we fight with foreigners like this, what if they attack us?

In response, someone retorted, "Then let's fight. Master Yi has fought with the police before, so what's wrong with adding a foreigner?"

Such a person knows a little, but not much.

They knew about the merger, but they didn't know that the other side only sent a small team of about 100 people.

Some knowledgeable people, after seeing the content in the newspaper...

Those who had a good impression of Chen Yi were filled with worry.

I just felt that provoking such a powerful enemy was not a wise thing to do.

Those who disliked Chen Yi sneered.

He laughed loudly and said, "Chen Yi is finished."

A teahouse in the foreign concession.

The scholars and learned men from the surrounding academies often gathered here to chat and discuss current affairs.

The words "Chen Yi is doomed" came from a rather thin, middle-aged lecturer.

His surname is Zhang. He often comes to the teahouse to sit, order some wine and beans.

Moreover, he has experience studying abroad, which gives him credibility.

Therefore, many scholars call him Lecturer Zhang.

"He dares to kill even foreigners. Who does he think he is, the local tyrant of Tianhai?"

Just because you took down a Green Gang member and had a fight with a small squad from the police station, does that mean you think no one can beat you?

To destroy someone, you must first drive them mad. Chen Yi's actions are so mad that his demise is not far off.

When he eliminated the White Opium Den, he was ultimately killing people from the Great Xuan Dynasty. Fortunately, the consulate did not cause him any trouble.

This time, he really killed foreigners, even three at once, and his methods were so brutal and cruel that the foreigners could not tolerate him.

"My death is near."

Lecturer Zhang sneered repeatedly.

He slammed the newspaper he was holding onto the table.

His gaze drifted to a person not far away.

He was a young man.

At the same time, he also hated this guy so much he wanted to grind his teeth.

Lu Qingshan, a student at Tianhai Academy.

He has clashed with Lu Qingshan many times.

This time, he wanted to see what else Lu Qingshan had to say.

Lu Qingshan looked at the newspaper; the photos printed on it were indeed extremely horrific.

Looking at this photo alone, one would definitely think that the person who did this was a twisted and brutal individual.

But the dead were foreigners.

Foreigners who aren't in the sky or in the sea are the good foreigners.

Therefore, these foreigners are definitely not innocent.

"If we don't use ruthless methods, how can we make other foreigners afraid?"

"If we don't make them die a miserable death, how will the foreigners know that they have to pay the price for their tyranny in our Great Xuan?"

"In my opinion, killing three foreigners is not enough. Mr. Chen is too kind-hearted. Killing only three can only be considered a small warning to the foreigners in Tianhai now."

Lu Qingshan said.

His words revealed his conservative identity.

That is, they felt that Chen Yi was too conservative.

Lecturer Zhang's expression stiffened slightly.

When Lu Qingshan said those words, his expression was calm; he was genuinely serious and not joking.

It sent a chill down his spine, fearing that Lu Qingshan would pounce on him and tear him apart like the foreigners in the newspaper.

However, he quickly realized that this was a teahouse.

This is a place where scholars gather; how could Lu Qingshan dare to do such a thing?

"No matter what you say, the dock gang has seriously offended the foreigners this time, so just wait for their retaliation."

I foresee that it won't be long before we see the foreigners arrest Chen Yi, bring him to trial in the concession court, and execute him by firing squad.

Lecturer Zhang said.

He also displayed an attitude of extreme trust in the consulate and in foreigners.

Lu Qingshan calmly replied, "Then let's wait and see."

He had complete faith in Chen Yi.

He had kept track of every single thing that had happened since Chen Yi rose to power.

Eliminating opium dens and merging police stations—both were seen as suicidal acts by others.

Chen Yi is still living a good life, and the dock gang is doing better and better every day.

It was all of these things combined that made Lu Qingshan trust Chen Yi completely.

The other party did this at this time.

He must have had his reasons and his confidence.
