“I definitely know about this, I even recorded a video!”
The cameraman said rather proudly.
He had witnessed the entire process, and out of professional habit, he had pressed the record button and captured everything that had just happened.
“May we see it?”
Upon hearing that the other party had recorded it, Chen Kaiyuan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
“This is it, take a look!”
The cameraman then opened the footage he had just recorded and turned the screen towards Chen Kaiyuan and Liu Yuanyuan.
“This, isn’t this Wang Shu?”
Liu Yuanyuan immediately recognized the man on the screen and said with surprise.
“It... seems like it is.”
Chen Kaiyuan also looked surprised. He hadn’t expected Wang Shu to dare to challenge Song Wang.
“He didn’t send Song Wang to the hospital, did he?”
Chen Kaiyuan then asked the cameraman.
Because he didn’t think Wang Shu had the strength to send Song Wang to the hospital, he guessed that someone else might have done it, and Wang Shu was merely there to be sacrificed.
The cameraman frowned and then looked at the screen.
“No, it was this person who did it. His martial arts are very powerful. Not only did he defeat this guy, but he also took down a Japanese man!”
The cameraman said directly.
“What? Wang Shu defeated Song Wang?”
Liu Yuanyuan, who was beside them, was once again shocked.
She only knew that Wang Shu’s martial arts were strong, but that was only when they were filming.
She hadn’t expected Wang Shu’s skills to be so powerful in reality.
He had actually managed to hospitalize a well-known Thai boxing master.
And then he had also defeated a Japanese man.
“A Japanese man? Did you record that?”
When Chen Kaiyuan heard that Wang Shu had also defeated a Japanese man, he became even more curious. After watching the video of Wang Shu fighting Song Wang, he asked the cameraman again.
“Yes, I recorded it. I heard that the Japanese man was named Gou Sheng or something.”
The cameraman said, recalling his memory.
“What? Gou Sheng? From the Gou Sheng family?”
When Chen Kaiyuan heard the name Gou Sheng, his body trembled.
This was because the name Gou Sheng was extremely sensitive to him.
His most admired grandfather had once been defeated by Gou Sheng Yiwo of Japan.
And his grandfather had also lost a leg at that time, becoming a cripple.
In the martial arts world of Longguo, he was humorously referred to as Chen the Cripple.
And this humiliating title was precisely because of that Gou Sheng Yiwo.
Therefore, when he heard the name Gou Sheng, a sense of innate fear arose in his heart.
After all, even someone as strong as his grandfather had lost to Gou Sheng Yiwo and had a leg crippled.
He didn’t know who this person from the Gou Sheng family that Wang Shu had challenged was.
However, based on his guess, it definitely wouldn’t be Gou Sheng Yiwo, because if that old man had made a move, Wang Shu would have no chance of survival.
Subsequently, the cameraman opened the second recording he had just made.
Chen Kaiyuan continued to watch attentively.
“Gou Sheng Yilang, it’s him!”
Chen Kaiyuan immediately recognized Gou Sheng Yilang.
This was because he was very familiar with this new representative of Japanese martial arts.
This Gou Sheng Yilang was the grandson of Gou Sheng Yiwo, who had defeated his grandfather, and he was also the current champion of the Japanese Youth Martial Arts Competition.
Just like his grandfather, he was traveling around the world challenging martial arts masters and building his reputation.
He hadn’t expected this fellow to be in Taiguo today.
“Is this guy very strong?”
Liu Yuanyuan couldn’t help but ask curiously upon seeing Chen Kaiyuan’s solemn expression.
“Among the young generation in the current world martial arts scene, he is considered top-tier!”
Chen Kaiyuan said with a somewhat unsteady voice.
“And Wang Shu managed to defeat him? Then Wang Shu is the most powerful one!”
Liu Yuanyuan’s eyes widened in amazement after listening to Chen Kaiyuan’s explanation.
Chen Kaiyuan, however, did not answer. He stared intently at the fight between the two on the screen.
Until the match ended and Gou Sheng Yilang fell to the ground,
He continued to stare at the screen, standing in silence.
“Let’s go back.”
At this moment, Chen Kaiyuan had lost any interest in continuing their outing. He turned to Liu Yuanyuan beside him and said.
“But we just came out, didn’t we?”
Liu Yuanyuan couldn’t help but frown and said to Chen Kaiyuan.
She didn’t understand what was wrong with Chen Kaiyuan. He was the one who had been so eager to ask her out.
How could he want to go back after less than twenty minutes of strolling? Was this guy crazy?
“If you’re not going back, I am.”
Chen Kaiyuan was in a bad mood. Seeing that Liu Yuanyuan was unwilling to go back, he dropped this sentence and turned to leave.
“Crazy!”
Looking at Chen Kaiyuan’s departing back, Liu Yuanyuan cursed directly.
She really couldn’t believe Chen Kaiyuan was this kind of person. He asked a girl out, and then abandoned her on the street and went back alone.
He was truly a scumbag, and she had been blind to come out shopping with him.
Then, filled with anger, she walked in the opposite direction of Chen Kaiyuan.
Back in the hotel room, Chen Kaiyuan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
“Why is he so strong!”
“He’s just an actor, why should his martial arts be stronger than mine?”
“I practiced martial arts since I was a child, trained hard for more than a decade, only to end up being trash!”
Chen Kaiyuan doubted himself repeatedly, his mind constantly replaying the scene from the filming set that morning.
Perhaps, Wang Shu had shown him enough respect that morning.
Recalling previous events, he felt increasingly petty.
He had offended a master-level figure in martial arts for a woman.
That was a martial arts prodigy rarely seen in a century. At his age, he might never reach such a level even if he trained his entire life.
Why had he been so foolish as to oppose such a person?
Chen Kaiyuan’s mind was filled with conflicting thoughts.
He was unwilling to be so easily crushed by Wang Shu.
But Wang Shu had so easily defeated Song Wang and Gou Sheng Yilang.
With such overwhelming strength, he had to admit that Wang Shu was a martial arts genius.
This was because Gou Sheng Yilang was once called a martial arts prodigy of Japan, and in his twenties, he could suppress many established masters.
Yet Wang Shu, a singer even younger than himself, had easily defeated Gou Sheng Yilang.
With such overwhelming strength, he would only be able to look up to it his entire life, and he probably wouldn’t be able to reach his level.
Even now, he felt that Wang Shu’s strength was essentially in the top tier in Longguo.
He just couldn’t understand, with such formidable strength, why was he content to be just a small actor.
If he had such strength, he would have already achieved great things and become a new martial arts star in Longguo and even the world.
…
“Ah, so comfortable, you’re really getting better and better!”
In the hotel room, Jiang Jianjia said to Wang Shu with a shy smile.
“Your condition has improved a lot. The recent treatment has been quite effective. I feel that in a few more months, you should be completely recovered.”
Wang Shu said to Jiang Jianjia after washing his hands.
“Then thank you so much. Without you, I really don’t know how long I would have lived.”
Jiang Jianjia said with a smile.
“Great kindness needs no thanks, but you should at least offer some practical reward!”
Wang Shu said directly to Jiang Jianjia.
“What other reward do you want? To pledge yourself to me?”
Jiang Jianjia asked Wang Shu with a smile.
“It’s not impossible. I’m quite curious to experience what a temperature below thirty degrees feels like.”
Wang Shu replied with a mischievous tone.
“Get lost!”
Jiang Jianjia immediately reacted and kicked Wang Shu with her small foot.
Wang Shu then grabbed her outstretched foot with his hand and began to tickle her sole.
…
“Good brother, spare me!”
“Call me Daddy!”
“Daddy, spare me!”
“Good daughter, let’s see if you dare to kick me again!”
Wang Shu then stopped his actions, looking at Jiang Jianjia with satisfaction.
Jiang Jianjia immediately retracted her foot, pouting and looking displeased at Wang Shu.
Just as they were playfully bickering, Wang Shu’s phone rang.
“Wang Shu, are you with Liu Yuanyuan?”
Director Chen Bo asked anxiously on the phone.
“No, when we came back, she was with Chen Kaiyuan.”
Wang Shu replied truthfully.
“Chen Kaiyuan returned long ago, but Liu Yuanyuan is nowhere to be found. She’s not answering her phone. I don’t know if something has happened.”
Chen Bo was very anxious, his voice filled with helplessness and urgency.
“No way? It’s broad daylight, it shouldn’t be that bad, right?”
Wang Shu found it strange after hearing this.
Because if Liu Yuanyuan went out shopping, she shouldn’t ignore Chen Bo’s calls.
Moreover, although Liu Yuanyuan wasn’t a beauty in Wang Shu’s eyes, she was still a well-known actress and had some appeal in a crowd.
So it wasn’t impossible for her to be targeted.
But wasn’t she with Chen Kaiyuan just now? Chen Kaiyuan, at any rate, was a successor of the Chen family’s Xingyiquan, and he would have some self-defense skills.
How could he have lost her in such a short time?
“Director, how about we wait a little longer? If we still can’t get through tonight, then we’ll go look for her!”
Wang Shu said directly on the phone.
Because it wasn’t too late yet, Liu Yuanyuan might just not have noticed Chen Bo’s call while she was out.
If she still hadn’t returned by evening, then it was highly likely that something had happened.
It wouldn’t be too late to look for her then.
“That’s what I’m thinking too. I hope nothing has happened.”
Chen Bo said on the phone.
Then he hung up.
…
As night fell, Wang Shu’s phone rang again.
