All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Thinking of this, Mr. Huang's mind was buzzing, and he felt his nerves were on edge. He asked cautiously.

"What...what message do you want to send?"

A slight smile appeared on Bai Jiaxuan's lips as he slowly pondered.

"The news is simple: Chen Zhen will set up a martial arts arena in Shanghai to challenge various Western masters in a life-or-death battle. I will fight a hundred Westerners by myself, and the winner will be decided in one battle. In addition, I will say that no matter what kind of Western martial arts I speak of, they are all trash tricks in my eyes! If you are not convinced, come and fight me!"

As soon as Bai Jiaxuan finished speaking, Boss Huang across from him collapsed onto the sofa, his eyes filled with terror!

Seeing Boss Huang's panicked appearance, Bai Jiaxuan couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Huang! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Bai Jiaxuan adjusted his top hat, turned around and left the room!

Only Mr. Huang remained, slumped on the sofa, his face filled with panic, muttering to himself.

"He really is going to do something big! He really is going to do something big!"

Chapter 48: I bet you don't have a bullet in your gun!

As soon as Bai Jiaxuan stepped out of the room, Boss Huang, who was still in shock, realized his lapse in composure and quickly stood up and ran over to see him off.

The two had just reached the stairs when Bai Jiaxuan waved his hand, signaling the other to stop.

Boss Huang realized that if he continued to give gifts, it might make some of his men interested in the man in front of him, so he stopped in his tracks.

The two nodded to each other, and then Bai Jiaxuan lowered the brim of his hat, revealing only half of his face, and slowly went down the third floor.

Bai Jiaxuan really didn't want to expose Chen Zhen's identity at this time. After the arms deal was completed and Zhang Xiaopeng and the others withdrew from Shanghai, that would be the time for Chen Zhen to appear!

After seeing Bai Jiaxuan off, Boss Huang suddenly remembered that Chen Zhen had said that a martial arts arena would be set up in half a month, but he hadn't said where it would be set up!

Thinking of this, Boss Huang hurriedly ran downstairs to ask, but after leaving the dance hall, he found that there was no one there.

If Boss Huang could think of this, Bai Jiaxuan naturally had thought of it long ago as well.

Actually, when he said those words, Bai Jiaxuan hadn't decided where to set up the dueling platform.

Once he has decided on a location for the dueling arena, he will naturally come and inform Boss Huang!

From Boss Huang, he realized that his current situation was more difficult than he had imagined.

Half a month later, when Chen Zhen issues his challenge, everyone's attention will likely be focused on him.

Although Bai Jiaxuan was arrogant, he didn't want to die. If he were to challenge a hundred Westerners in a group fight, to be honest, his body might not be able to win.

Although my body is in a special state, it is still flesh and blood. I might be able to dodge some pistol bullets, but I definitely cannot withstand machine gun fire!

Therefore, he must choose a place where he can both attack and retreat as the arena, and once the competition is over, he can retreat at any time, just like in the competition last year!

He said he would challenge a hundred people, and he would do it. He would use ruthless and bloody methods to subdue the vast majority of them first.

Once he demonstrated his superhuman strength, he truly no longer believed that a hundred Westerners would simultaneously risk their lives to gang up on him!

All we need to do is eliminate some of the fanatics, and then we can intimidate everyone. That will achieve the purpose of this competition!

Chen Zhen's fame will spread throughout the entire land of China and resound throughout the world!

Bai Jiaxuan wanted to cultivate Chen Zhen's martial arts into a special spirit—a spirit that fears no power and dares to forge ahead.

In the coming years, countless places in China will fall to the enemy, but countless young people will also fight against the invaders with the spirit of Chen Zhen. Only if this spirit is passed down from generation to generation will it endure!

After leaving the stage, Bai Jiaxuan walked slowly through the streets of Shanghai. He did not immediately call a rickshaw, but strolled leisurely as if taking a leisurely walk.

The reason is simple: from the moment he left the stage, he was followed by two little tails.

Bai Jiaxuan knew, of course, that the two people behind him were not sent by Boss Huang, and he didn't have the guts to do so.

The dance hall owned by Boss Huang was frequented by all sorts of people, but those who could enter such a place were generally considered to have a certain status. Perhaps it was Bai Jiaxuan, this unfamiliar face, who had already attracted attention from the moment he entered the dance hall.

Moreover, he had been on the third floor for two hours, and such an unfamiliar face would naturally attract attention.

The person following Bai Jiaxuan may not even know who they are following, but spending some time tracking him can't hurt. All intelligence is information closely related to life.

Bai Jiaxuan walked along the streets on the banks of the Huangpu River, looking at the river in the distance. Countless ships were moored on both sides, and large merchant ships were slowly sailing on the river. The sounds of ship horns and shouts from the docks filled the air, a scene of all walks of life.

Along both sides of the river, there were various lights, and dockworkers came and went. The goods that could be moved at night were definitely not good stuff. It was a mixed bag of people. This was Shanghai!

Bai Jiaxuan gazed at the Huangpu River, which flowed day and night without ceasing, and fell into deep thought, gradually forming an idea in his mind.

Perhaps the Huangpu River is the best arena for a duel, where one can attack or retreat, and also has the best escape route!

"Not bad," Bai Jiaxuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked toward a couple who appeared to be taking a walk a dozen meters away.

As Bai Jiaxuan slowly approached, the couple tensed up, and the man even slowly put one hand into his chest.

The woman next to him nervously held the man's hand, her face full of anxiety.

Bai Jiaxuan smiled as he saw this scene. These two were obviously newbies in the intelligence world.

He had just been contemplating killing them. Wasn't the Huangpu River the perfect place for the two of them to die?

But seeing how nervous the two of them looked, he relaxed quite a bit.

At the very least, this indicates that the two men were unaware of his identity. If they knew Chen Zhen's true identity, they would never have sent such an inexperienced intelligence agent.

Bai Jiaxuan smiled and stepped forward, standing in front of the two. In the dim light of the night, with Bai Jiaxuan deliberately pulling his hat brim down, the other party certainly couldn't see his face clearly.

Bai Jiaxuan slowly suppressed his smile and spoke in a calm tone.

"I don't like being followed. You have ten seconds to disappear from my sight!"

Bai Jiaxuan spoke calmly, but his deep voice carried immense confidence, causing the two people opposite him to tense up even more.

The man could barely contain his impulse and instinctively tried to draw his gun!

Bai Jiaxuan seemed not to have seen this scene, and even yawned deliberately. He had just drunk quite a lot of wine and was indeed a little tired now!

The woman instinctively tugged at the man's arm, trying to calm him down.

But the man seemed to be enraged by Bai Jiaxuan's yawn. Without pausing, he drew his pistol, pointed it at Bai Jiaxuan's head a meter away, and shouted smugly.

"You little punk, why are you pretending to be a big shot? Since you've found out, we won't hide it anymore. We need the content of your conversation with Boss Huang. Tell us everything, or you'll never have another chance to speak!"

Bai Jiaxuan shook his head, yawned again, and said in a playful tone.

"I bet you, your gun is empty!"

This scene did indeed remind Bai Jiaxuan of Yuan Fang's pretentious remark, which was quite fitting!

The other party was stunned by Bai Jiaxuan's words for a moment, and glanced at the gun in his hand. But he quickly came to his senses and realized that the other party was playing a trick on him. Just as he was about to say something harsh, he heard the other party say a few words slowly.

"Alright, ten seconds are up, you can all die now!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Jiaxuan, a meter away, pounced on him like a shadow. The other man instinctively tried to pull the trigger in fear, but it was too late!

His hand stung, and before he could react, the pistol was already in the other man's hand. Then, the other man's other hand moved with lightning speed, grabbing the man's neck. In less than half a second, there was a snapping sound, and the man's body went limp. He didn't even utter a single last word!

The woman next to her screamed in fright, covered her head, squatted on the ground, trembling, and shouted repeatedly.

"I am the third young lady of the Qi family! Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"

Although Bai Jiaxuan did not want to be ruthless, he was by no means a soft-hearted person. However, he had never heard of such an amateur intelligence officer losing his composure like this.

In his mind, weren't intelligence agents the kind of people who would rather die than surrender, just like they were portrayed in TV dramas?

This left him at a loss, unsure whether to kill her or spare her life!

As for that so-called third young lady of the Qi family, Bai Jiaxuan had learned some information about her from the newspapers these past few days.

The Qi family is a powerful clan in Shanghai, with influence in both the legal and illegal worlds. They control more than 30% of the dock business in the city, and the eldest son, Qi Yunfeng, is the director of the Shanghai Police Department.

But why would an amateur intelligence agent from such a family risk his life to conduct a surveillance operation?

Bai Jiaxuan thought about it for a moment, but in the end he didn't make a move on the third young lady. He grabbed the man's body and said, "Let's go!"

Bai Jiaxuan threw the man's body forcefully, sending him flying over a hundred meters away like an arrow, before he crashed directly into the center of the Huangpu River.

This scene is beyond human power. If Miss Qi San were to look up and see this, she would probably be shocked!

After Bai Jiaxuan finished disposing of the body, he tucked his pistol into his waistband, glanced at Miss Qi, who was crouching on the ground crying with her head in her hands, and scolded her impatiently.

"Alright, get out of here. Stop crying like a woman!"

After saying that, Bai Jiaxuan turned and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness, leaving only the trembling Miss Qi behind!

Qi Jiawei was not an intelligence agent. Given her status, her family would never allow her to do such a dangerous job.

Her presence here is purely coincidental!

The young man Bai Jiaxuan had just killed was an intelligence officer from the Japanese consulate's police department.

Below the police station of the Japanese consulate, there was another institution that would later become very famous, called the Special Higher Police!

The man himself was no ordinary person; he was the son of a Japanese consul, a typical Japanese nobleman.

The other party's original mission was to cultivate a romantic relationship with this Miss Qi and, incidentally, win over the Qi family in order to lay the foundation for their future invasion of China.

The two had arranged to meet at Boss Huang's nightclub today, and it was supposed to be another wonderful day, but Bai Jiaxuan's sudden appearance immediately caught the man's attention.

Bai Jiaxuan mysteriously met with Boss Huang on the third floor for two hours, which immediately aroused the man's great interest.

Last year, when the Japanese army branch was attacked, the Japanese had actually traced the attack back to Mr. Huang, but they did not take action against him because of his background.

However, Boss Huang is already on the special list of the Japanese intelligence agency.

Bai Jiaxuan's appearance did indeed pique the man's curiosity.

Driven by curiosity, the man had a sudden urge to follow her, but since Miss Qi was with him, he couldn't just leave her behind to follow her alone.

Miss Qi is actually a very outgoing person. Encouraged by the other party, she excitedly expressed her willingness to follow the man and stalk him.

The man naturally didn't recognize Chen Zhen's identity, nor did he intend to make any in-depth contact with him. Instead, he planned to follow him from a distance, first determine Bai Jiaxuan's residence, and then notify the Japanese intelligence agents to investigate!

After all, his specialty was picking up girls, not professional intelligence tracking. His tracking skills were only mediocre to begin with, and with the addition of Miss Qi, a complete novice, the two of them were almost immediately discovered by Bai Jiaxuan.

The other party had also considered that even if they were discovered, what could they do to them?

But to their utter surprise, they encountered a killing machine today who didn't care who they were at all, which was incredibly embarrassing.

The man was killed in one blow before he could even reveal his identity. Perhaps Bai Jiaxuan didn't care about their identities at all!

Miss Qi's life was spared purely because Bai Jiaxuan was in a good mood. Killing a crying little girl was really going too far!

And that was the end of it!
