Let Li Guohui contact the arms dealer; Hai Long is preparing to purchase a million worth of weapons. This week, instead of having his subordinates learn martial arts, Hai Long has them focus on catching crabs. The hotels always want as many crabs as Hai Long can provide, and during this season, crabs from other places have little meat left. However, the crabs in the Devil Sea have plenty of food and a warm seabed, so they remain plump. Seeing Hai Long suddenly increase production, the hotels welcomed it with open arms. Since they will soon learn how to use guns, why bother with close combat? Just a little bit would be enough. Hai Long never thought of sending any of his subordinates to engage in close combat. When they act, they all go together. Acting alone and getting caught is something Hai Long would never do. When encountering enemies, all 24 of them would attack together, 24 submachine guns firing simultaneously, forming a wall of fire that would kill anyone who came.
When he heard they could learn gun skills, Hai Long noticed that his subordinates' minds were already wandering, no longer interested in the tedious physical training. They were probably all fantasizing about firing guns. Since a lot of money was needed, he had them catch crabs. The sooner they got the money, the sooner they could buy the weapons.
Hai Long was a novice in buying weapons, so he entrusted the task entirely to Li Guohui. After briefing Li Guohui and arranging for Liu Yong'an to sell the crabs, Hai Long prepared to go home. It was already late, and Hu Jing was probably waiting for him at home.
However, when he got home, just as he reached the door, Hai Long suddenly felt something was wrong. Two thugs were standing at the entrance, and two more were approaching from behind. Hai Long knew he had been ambushed.
He thought, "Could it be people sent by Guan Daqiu? Why would they target me first? Could there be a mole among the 24 of us?" Seeing that the four men had no weapons and no guns, Hai Long felt relieved. After being electrocuted by the Dragon King for two months and learning combat techniques from Li Guohui for a month, this was the moment he had been waiting for. His punching power, measured by a force gauge, was 200 kilograms. Hai Long was confident that with his current physical condition, he could take down anyone who came at him without weapons.
He calmly walked forward. The two men at the entrance saw Hai Long approaching and showed cruel smiles, quickly walking toward him. Seeing their clenched fists and the 20-meter distance, Hai Long noticed the other two were still 40 meters away. He had a sudden idea and quickly ran toward the two men. The effect of his muscle training showed as Hai Long's explosive power brought him to the two men before they could react. He smiled at the two men, who were startled by his speed, and before they could punch, he kicked one in the stomach. The powerful kick sent the man flying four to five meters away, and he couldn't get up. The second man then tried to punch Hai Long. Dodging the punch aimed at his left face, Hai Long crouched and used the upward force of his knee to deliver an uppercut with over 200 kilograms of force to the other man's chin. There were two "bang" sounds, and the man was knocked unconscious, spitting out two broken teeth. It was clear that most of his teeth were shattered by Hai Long's punch.
The other two men finally reached Hai Long. Taking a hit to his back from both of them, Hai Long turned around and used the power of his waist to deliver a hook punch to one man's face, breaking his nose. The man staggered back, blood gushing from his nose and mouth, and couldn't get up.
Now only one man was left. Hai Long turned to him, eyes fierce, and said, "Tell me, who sent you?"
The last man was trembling from fear, never having imagined such vicious and powerful techniques. His three companions had been knocked out with one punch each, and he was now terrified.
However, he was a tough guy. Cornered by Hai Long, he shouted and charged at him. This reckless attack left him vulnerable, and Hai Long punched him in the neck. The man spat blood and passed out. In just two minutes, Hai Long had taken down four men, three unconscious and one bleeding profusely. Standing over the bleeding man, Hai Long's eyes glinted with menace as he stepped on the man's chest and said, "Tell me, who sent you? If you don't, I'll crush your chest and kill you."
The thug was actually a third-year student at Donghai University, a professional enforcer for Sun Bo, who handled those who disobeyed him and his romantic rivals. Although they didn't interact much, Sun Bo had promised him a job in his father's company after graduation. In today's society, even graduates from top universities struggle to find jobs, let alone those from second or third-tier universities. These thugs, knowing that attending classes was useless and that graduation meant unemployment, were willing to follow Sun Bo after he extended an olive branch.
This time, Sun Bo told them that a freshman was competing for his girlfriend and asked them to teach him a lesson. The four men, hearing that someone dared to compete with Sun Bo for a woman, promised to give him a taste of their power. They found out where Hai Long lived and waited for him at the entrance.
Hai Long was somewhat frustrated to learn that it wasn't Guan Daqiu's men but Sun Bo's. "You're really asking for it, Sun Bo. You dare to send people to attack me? I could easily kill you and your entire family with these 24 brothers. How dare you provoke me like this?" He kicked the thug in the stomach, knocking him unconscious, and then quickly went upstairs to his home.
Hu Jing was already home, lying on the sofa waiting for him. When she saw him, she ran to his side, taking off his coat. It was the first time she had been so considerate; usually, she just lay on the sofa like a dead crayfish. Smiling, he said, "Little girl, why are you being so filial today?"
Ignoring his joke, Hu Jing gave him a big hug, burying her face in his chest and saying, "Brother, you've worked hard."
Hai Long was puzzled. "Where have I been working hard?"
Hu Jing said shyly, "To earn money to support me, you've been working as a driver. I'm sorry, brother. I didn't realize you were working so hard for me every day."
Hai Long was surprised. He had never been a driver. With his current abilities, he could easily earn a few million a month if he wanted to. The managers of the major hotels in Donghai City were offering him money to take the job. He had just made up an excuse to keep Hu Jing out of the situation. He said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with being a driver? The boss is very rich. He said I could work for his company after graduation, and I could bring my girlfriend along."
Hu Jing's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great. I can go too?" She then seemed to think of something and lowered her head, her forehead turning red.
Hai Long laughed, holding the little girl in his arms. "Of course you can go. As my wife, why can't you go? Right, wife?"
Hu Jing pushed against Hai Long's chest with her head, making him laugh. Seizing the opportunity, he suddenly picked her up, making her scream. He looked at her blushing face but didn't dare to kiss her, just holding her on the sofa.
Hu Jing had been worried that Hai Long would take advantage of the situation, but he just held her, his eyes full of love. She was a smart girl and knew that Hai Long cared so much about her feelings that he would never force her if she didn't want it.
Looking into Hai Long's loving eyes, Hu Jing said slyly, "Brother, can you close your eyes?"
Hai Long asked, "Why?"
Hu Jing pouted, "Brother, brother, close your eyes." Unable to resist her pouting, Hai Long closed his eyes.
Seeing Hai Long close his eyes, Hu Jing sighed in relief, steadied her nerves, and whispered in his ear, "Bad brother, I won't call you husband, just brother, humph." She then kissed his cheek and ran to her room, locking the door behind her.
When Hai Long opened his eyes, he saw Hu Jing's blushing, seductive face, a look he would never forget.
Thinking about what Hu Jing had said, Hai Long was confused. Did it mean she was willing to be his girlfriend but was just not used to calling him husband? It was such a simple matter, but Hai Long's mind was too excited to think clearly.
Standing at Hu Jing's door, he asked, "Little girl, what did you mean by that? Are you willing to be my wife?"
Hu Jing was speechless. She had said it so clearly, and he still didn't understand. Leaning against the door, she said shyly and happily, "Think about it yourself. I won't tell you."
Hai Long was speechless. His mind was blank, and he couldn't think of anything. He asked anxiously, "I can't think of anything. My mind is blank."
Hearing this, Hu Jing laughed. "I won't tell you. I'm going to sleep. Good night, brother."
Hai Long was frustrated. He lay in bed, tossing and turning, trying to understand what Hu Jing had said. He thought, "Hu Jing said she wouldn't call me husband, just brother, and huffed. Does that mean she's willing to be my girlfriend but isn't used to calling me husband?" It was such a simple matter, but Hai Long's mind was too excited to think clearly.
