Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

"We hope you can bring these materials back safely, so that we will not have let down those patriotic people in Hong Kong who sacrificed their lives!"

Hearing Tan Chengjia's words, Xiao Shan felt quite conflicted.

It could even be said that he was deeply moved by Tan Chengjia's spirit of being ready to sacrifice himself for his country at any time!

Xiao Shan asked himself, and realized that he really didn't have Tan Chengjia's spirit of dedication!

Seeing Tan Chengjia looking at him expectantly, Xiao Shan nodded heavily: "Brother Tan, don't worry, I will definitely bring these things back intact!"

After hearing Xiao Shan's assurance, Tan Chengjia finally smiled: "I'm relieved!"

At this moment, Yang Tai looked at Tan Chengjia and said, "Brother Tan, you should run away quickly! We'll take the things back."

After hearing Yang Tai's words, Tan Chengjia smiled and shook his head: "If I run away and they can't catch me, then you won't be able to escape!"

"Moreover, I'm not confident that I can safely leave Hong Kong with these documents!"

“Only you two can do this! You came here to participate in the no-holds-barred fighting competition. Without solid evidence and considering the international repercussions, they wouldn’t dare to do this to you!” Tan Chengjia looked at Xiao Shan and Yang Tai solemnly and said, “After I’m arrested, I will take all the blame and sever all ties with you.”

"The rest is up to you!"

Hearing Tan Chengjia's words of self-sacrifice, Xiao Shan and Yang Tai were both moved to tears.

Seeing Yang Tai's expression in Xiaoshan, Tan Chengjia smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. As long as they can't find the information, they won't have any clear evidence to convict me! So, Xiaoshan, whether I live or die depends entirely on whether you can hide the information well!"

"You must persevere. I know you've never experienced anything like this before, but times make heroes, and I believe you can handle it well!"

"Alright, it's getting late. You all have a match tomorrow, so get some rest!"

After saying that, Tan Chengjia pushed Xiao Shan and Yang Tai out of his room.

He has explained everything that needed to be explained. It's getting late, so let Xiao Shan and the others get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's match.

Only if Xiaoshan and his team achieve outstanding results in the competition and attract many people to place bets on them can they be safer.

After all, arresting an international champion without any evidence would put John Bull under a lot of pressure.

If Xiaoshan and his team can make it to the semifinals and finals, then many people will place bets on them.

If Xiao Shan and his team are unable to participate in the competition, those who placed bets will likely cause a huge uproar.

Under such circumstances, even if John Bull's men suspected Xiao Shan and his group, they wouldn't dare to easily take action against Xiao Shan.

The next morning, everyone sat in the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

Because the expressions on Xiao Shan and the other two's faces were very serious, almost no one spoke during the meal.

Zhang He sensed the strange atmosphere, frowned, and looked at Xiao Shan and the other two with some concern.

However, since there were five support staff members present, Zhang He couldn't ask any questions.

After breakfast, Tan Chengjia escorted the Xiaoshan group, who were preparing to participate in the competition, to the hotel entrance.

Tan Chengjia smiled and said to Xiao Shan, "I won't go watch your game. I've been in Hong Kong for so many days, and I haven't had a proper chance to see it yet! I'll just wander around today!"

Hearing Tan Chengjia's words, Xiao Shan nodded slightly.

After arriving at the competition venue, Xiao Shan and Yang Tai each went to their respective fighting rings.

Xiao Shan was in a bad mood because of Tan Chengjia's situation, so he acted somewhat recklessly.

So his first opponent today was kicked off the stage by Xiao Shan and lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

Seeing that Xiaoshan performed even better today than yesterday, some onlookers who came specifically to watch Xiaoshan's game were stunned!

Did this guy hide his strength yesterday?

Reporters pointed their flashes at Xiaoshan, ready to take some nice photos to brag about it in the newspapers tomorrow.

Because today's matches consist of one game in the morning and one game in the afternoon.

So after Xiao Shan won his match, he went to watch Yang Tai's match.

Upon arriving at Yang Tai's side, Xiao Shan discovered that Yang Tai was engaged in a fierce battle with his opponent.

More importantly, Xiao Shan also discovered that the referee on the field seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally favoring Yang Tai's opponent.

"It seems that the people from John Bull don't want us to go any further up, so as not to cause any trouble when they arrest us!" Xiao Shan thought to himself.

After all, the impact of arresting a top 16 player is completely different from that of arresting a top 4 player or even the champion!

As for why the referee on Xiaoshan's side didn't favor Xiaoshan's opponent, it's because Xiaoshan was too fast and directly defeated his opponent, leaving the referee with no way to show favoritism.

After all, he couldn't very well declare the contestant who was kicked off the ring by Xiao Shan and knocked unconscious as the winner, could he?

This is seriously underestimating the intelligence of the audience!

However, even with the referee's bias, Yang Tai's opponent still fell on the stage due to the difference in strength.

Despite his displeasure, the referee had no choice but to declare Yang Tai the winner, seeing the unconscious fighter on the ring.

As soon as Yang Tai came down from the ring, Xiao Shan went to greet him and helped him up.

As Xiao Shan helped Yang Tai toward the rest room, Allen, who had been watching the game, followed.

"Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so amazing! It seems that advancing to the top four is a piece of cake for you!" Allen said excitedly to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan smiled slightly: "It was just good luck; I encountered a relatively weak opponent!"

"Xiao, if your opponent heard what you just said, he'd probably want to fight you to the death!" Allen teased with a smile.

Allen followed Xiao Shan into the lounge, chatted for a while, and then got up and left.

After Allen left, Xiao Shan let the five people in charge of logistics go out to rest for a while before saying to Yang Tai, "Tai, it seems that John Bull's people don't want us to continue to advance. You have to be careful in the competition this afternoon! I think they will send the strongest player in this competition to compete against us and then eliminate us smoothly!"

"So if you're no match for them this afternoon, don't push yourself. Safety first!"

Yang Tai nodded and said with a wry smile, "Brother Xiaoshan, I know! In my current state, it's probably a bit risky for me to advance to the semifinals. I'll have to rely on you then!"

"Don't worry, I've got it covered!" Xiao Shan said confidently to Yang Tai.

Chapter 442, Chen Fengshou, Da Men Dalang! (Please subscribe!)

Seeing Xiao Shan's confident expression, Yang Tai nodded slightly.

In the afternoon, the second match was held as scheduled.

Xiao Shan discovered that his guess was indeed correct; John Bull had indeed arranged for his strongest player to fight against him.

In this match, Xiaoshan's opponent was a Taiwanese man named Chen Fengshou.

In the Hong Kong Daily's publicity, Chen Fengshou and another Japanese contestant named Daimon Taro were the most popular contenders for the championship.

Now that Chen Fengshou has been assigned to fight against him, it's highly likely that the one fighting against Yang Tai will be that Da Men Da Lang!

Although Chen Fengshou is the player with the highest chance of winning the championship, he himself remains very cautious.

After watching Xiaoshan's match that morning, he realized that Xiaoshan's strength was extraordinary!

So after the referee announced the start of the match, Chen Fengshou immediately launched an attack on Xiaoshan.

Unfortunately, in Xiao Shan's eyes, Chen Fengshou's speed was still too slow!

Xiao Shan reached out and grabbed Chen Fengshou's attacking fist, then slammed Chen Fengshou off the ring.

The scene erupted in uproar when Xiao Shan threw Chen Fengshou away!

However, according to the rules of the no-holds-barred fighting tournament, Chen Fengshou could have jumped back into the ring and continued the match.

However, Chen Fengshou, who got up from the ground, knew very well that he was no match for Xiao Shan.

This gap in strength cannot be bridged by so-called willpower.

So after giving Xiao Shan a deep look, Chen Fengshou decisively chose to concede defeat and then turned and left the competition venue!

The onlookers initially thought Chen Fengshou would continue fighting, but unexpectedly he conceded defeat just like that.

This drew a barrage of criticism from gamblers who had bet on Chen Fengshou's advancement.

If they hadn't considered that they were no match for Chen Fengshou, these people probably would have thrown beverage bottles at him.

After Xiao Shan successfully advanced to the top four, he avoided the reporters who wanted to interview him and went to the ring where Yang Tai was competing.

Seeing that Xiao Shan was avoiding them, the reporters naturally followed him relentlessly.

As expected, Yang Tai's opponent was the same as Xiao Shan's prediction: Daimon Taro from Japan.

At this moment, Yang Tai was already at a disadvantage on the stage, and defeat was only a matter of time.

Seeing Yang Tai still struggling, Xiao Shan didn't say anything, but was prepared to rescue Yang Tai at any time.

In Xiao Shan's view, it didn't matter that Yang Tai lost, as long as he didn't encounter any mortal danger.

After all, with Yang Tai's current strength, this is the best he can do!

Under Daimon Taro's relentless attacks, Yang Tai finally couldn't hold on any longer!

Using his last bit of strength, Yang Tai widened the distance between himself and Daimon Taro, and decisively chose to concede defeat.

When Da Lang saw Yang Tai admit defeat, he did not continue his attack.

Seeing the referee announce that Da Lang had won, Xiao Shan quickly had the support staff help Yang Tai off the ring.

"Brother Xiaoshan, I'm sorry, I still lost!" Yang Tai said somewhat embarrassedly as he approached Xiaoshan. "The matter of winning the championship still depends on you!"

Hearing Yang Tai's words, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Ah Tai, you've done very well. Leave the rest to me!"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the reporters around him immediately lit up with gossip.

They eagerly crowded around Xiao Shan, asking him questions.

"Mr. Xiao, judging from your words, you're determined to win the championship?"

"Mr. Xiao, from the preliminary rounds until now, you have basically defeated your opponents in the shortest amount of time. Can you maintain this efficiency in the next semi-final?"

"Mr. Xiao, can you represent the true level of unrestricted combat in China today? Or are you the strongest fighter in China?"

……

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Xiao Shan actually didn't want to answer.

However, considering that if he wanted to make John Bull hesitate to act rashly, he would have to rely on the influence of these journalists in the public opinion field!

Just as Xiao Shan was preparing to answer the reporters' questions one by one, a group of foreign police officers in uniforms walked over to Xiao Shan and his group.

These reporters pushed past the journalists surrounding Xiaoshan and came to stand in front of him.

The head inspector looked at Xiao Shan with a serious expression and asked, "Are you Xiao Shan?"

Looking at these foreign notes, Xiao Shan knew that Tan Chengjia was probably already in their hands!

Although he knew exactly what was going on, Xiao Shan still looked puzzled: "That's right, I am Xiao Shan. May I ask what's the matter?"

Because of the presence of so many reporters, the inspector did not immediately come up to arrest Xiao Shan, but instead said very politely, "Please come with us."

Upon hearing what the inspector said, before Xiao Shan could say anything, the reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.

"What crime has Mr. Xiao committed that warrants his arrest within the arena of a no-holds-barred fighting tournament?"

"What are your reasons for arresting Mr. Xiao? Will this affect his participation in the semi-finals?"

"Is Mr. Xiao the only one to be arrested this time, or will everyone else be arrested as well?"

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, the inspector was somewhat at a loss. "This matter is confidential and cannot be disclosed to the public, but Mr. Xiao is probably out of contention for the upcoming competitions!"

The reporters were immediately in an uproar upon hearing the inspector's words.

"Has the police prepared for the public pressure that Mr. Xiao Shan will face if he is prevented from participating in the upcoming matches?"

"As far as we know, there are a lot of chips being bet on Xiao Shan right now. If you don't let Xiao Shan participate in the subsequent competitions, who will bear these losses?"

……

Many of the reporters at the scene also placed their bets on Xiaoshan.

After all, Xiaoshan's strength in the semi-finals was as formidable as ever.

Moreover, he just defeated Chen Fengshou, the favorite to win the championship.

As journalists, they naturally possess a sensitivity that most people lack, so they immediately instructed their relatives and friends to place large bets at the casino.

As journalists, they naturally have better access to information than others.
