Chapter 001: Not Practicing Fist

  Jintiger went to see his old friend Neil, and the little black one had become irregular again after separating from himself. He invited him to dinner and then returned to the factory.

  He parked the car in the warehouse and as soon as he got out, he saw Bernie and Clyde boxing on stage. Duncan and Kim were also there, cheering along with Lautrec and Joey.

  "Oh! Pal! Think hard about my twenty bucks!" Joy, the computer gal, was shouting beside him, shaking her small fist, apparently rooting for underdog Bernie.

  A few people glanced at Jin Hu, raised their hands slightly as a greeting, and then turned back to watch the battle on the boxing ring.

  Jin Hu walked up to the edge of the crowd and asked a few people: "Is Aiven here?"

  "In his office!" Duncan turned around and said to Jinhu, then looked up at the boxing ring.

  Jin Hu patted Duncan's shoulder and turned to walk towards Evan's office. After a few steps, he heard Kim calling out behind him, "Brian! Wait up, I've got something to tell you."

  "There's nothing I can say now, and I'm not in a hurry to see Evan." Jin Hu stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Kim.

  Jin Mu waved his hand at Jin Hu: "You go ahead and take care of your business first, I'll watch over the betting money!"

  Jin Hu listened and smiled, then lifted his foot and continued walking towards the stairs on the second floor.

  "Knock knock!" Jin Hu stood in front of Evan's office door and knocked twice.

  "Who?"

  "Brian!"

  "Come in," Evan said, raising his head and looking at Jinhu as he entered the room: "Just in time, I wanted to find you to take a look."

  Jin Hu walked up to Evan's desk, looking at the map spread out on it with several small circles drawn in colored pencil: "What is this? Is there a new job?" Jin Hu asked excitedly as he looked at it.

  "It's not final yet, but the place we're going to put our stuff might be here. We have to wait for our friend to confirm before making a final decision!" Ivan pointed at the map: "There are two high points with houses now, each has at least two guards on top. I can take care of one building, can you handle the other?" He nodded towards the photo beside him.

  Jin Hu stretched out his hand and turned the photo on the table, taking a look. The two tall houses in the photo were not too far apart, and the area of the two rooftops didn't seem to be very large either. Climbing up onto the house wouldn't be difficult for him: "I'm fine, as long as there aren't more than four people up there, I can take them out before they make a sound."

  "Alright! Then there's no problem, just waiting for our friend's final notice." Evan looked at Jinhu and said with a smile: "What did you find me for?"

  "You know the first guy who came with me, that black kid Neil, we're short two people for tonight's fight, I want him to come over and help out, instead of just eating one meal a day and living in his car," Jin Hu said to Evan.

  "This is a small matter, have him come over this afternoon and I'll meet with him to see what he's suitable for, try to give him a slightly better position" Ivan said looking at Jinhu as he pulled out a cigar from under the table and gestured to him.

  Jin Hu waved his hand: "I'm not used to not playing, it's better to smoke Chinese cigarettes" and then took out a pack of Zhonghua from his pocket, pulled one out and lit it up, taking a puff.

  "You should buy a better car, the one you're driving now is only for showing off. Evan looked at Jinhu and joked: "Driving this kind of car won't get you any dates with girls!""

  Jin Hu casually flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray on the table: "I'm not planning to fall in love, can't find one then I'll just have to make do. I think Kim and Duncan won't be able to find someone who's not up to par, right? Last time someone gave me a Mercedes, when I was escaping I not only got beaten into a sieve but also drove it into the river, what a pity".

  "Hahaha!" Ivan burst out laughing, his hand holding the cigar shaking slightly: "A good car is indispensable when looking for fun at night, especially when you want to seduce those little girls".

  "I know, I'll get one when I have time." Jin Hu said to Ai: "That's it, I'm leaving? Kim still wants me to talk about something." Seeing Ai Wen nodding, Jin Hu turned around and left the room.

  He walked while holding a cigarette in his mouth and dialing the phone to inform Neil to come over in the afternoon to meet Evan, which was considered an interview. After hanging up the phone at the bottom of the stairs, he saw that two people had been replaced on the table, Kim looked at Lautrenso.

  Standing on the stage, Jinhu still saw Kim's boxing for the first time. The Latin boy's fist was quite strong and different from his usual cheerful appearance. His fists were wide open and closed, and he was slightly inferior to the tall Laotrenso.

  "Who opened this market, I want to place a bet," Jin Hu asked Bernie beside him.

  Bernie smiled and said: "Losing is not allowed! If you can hold on for a few minutes, five minutes will be 1 to 2, ten minutes will be 1 to 1.5, fifteen minutes will be 1 to 1."

  "Give me ten minutes." Jin Shang smiled and pulled out a twenty-dollar bill from his pocket, placing it in Bernie's hand.

  Bernie took the ticket and sniffed it in front of his nose, then put it in his pocket: "Brian, your boxing skills are not bad, but this gambling is really not good".

  Jin Hu smiled and said that neither of these two currencies is worth looking at, it's just for fun, twenty dollars is not much different from twenty yuan in China.

  After more than ten minutes, Kim jumped out of the fighting circle and admitted defeat. Bernie happily walked forward and gave Kim and Lautrenso twenty dollars each. At this time, everyone around laughed, and Joey shouted: "There's a black curtain, refund!"

  "How can a casino make money without cheating?" Bernie said to Joey, before Lauterbach snatched another ticket from his hand.

  "This is Joey's money, Joey is my girlfriend," Lautrenso said to a stunned Berni.

  After working hard for half a day, Bernie earned twenty dollars and grumbled with a bitter face: "Wasting so much of my time for just twenty dollars!"

  As Kim took off his boxing gloves and stepped down from the ring, Jinhu asked: "What was it that you wanted to tell me just now?"

  Kim looked at Jinhu and said: "Brian! Do you have a dentist?"

  Jin Hu was taken aback: "No! Why did you think of asking this?" Jin Hu was a bit bewildered by Jin Mu. His own teeth were fine, not painful or itchy, what did he need a dentist for?!

  "It's like this" Kim heard that Jin Hu didn't have a dentist and became happy, walked over wanting to give Jin Hu a hug, Jin Hu hurriedly pushed him away "What's with the sweat smell on you?"

  Kim smiled and said, "My dentist is great, I want to introduce you." Pointing at Jinhu's mouth, he said, "I see your teeth are a bit yellow, this won't impress the girls! You should go get them cleaned." After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth and snapped his fingers against his pearly whites.

  Jin Hu thought for a moment, this is not bad, I said why did I come to the old American place and everywhere was a mouthful of white teeth? Brother also went to get a mouth?

  Just as Jin Hu was about to nod in agreement, he heard Qiao Yi say next to him: "Don't fall for his trick, Bryan. He's taken a liking to the woman who answers phones at the clinic and wants you to go get your teeth washed so he can flirt with her."

  "You're really troublesome" Jin Hu looked at Jin Mu and said: "Alright, I've got nothing better to do, so I'll just follow you this once".

  "Okay! You wait here for me, I'll go take a bath." Jinmu heard Junhu's response and happily said as he walked towards the stairs.

  Looking at Kim's back, Jinhu said to Joy: "Is Kim in love?"

  Bernie smiled and said, "No way, that girl doesn't care about him, so he occasionally shows off in front of others." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to ask the people beside him, "Who's going to the bar for a drink tonight?"

  "That's me." Jin Hu was the first to raise his hand. Bernie looked at the rest of them and shook their heads: "That's just me, Brian, Kim, three people." He turned to ask Duncan and Clyde: "What are you two doing tonight?"

  "Duncan brought over a few girls to help, and also found two for me" Clyde said with his hands on his hips, "High-end goods, 2,000 per night!"

  "You guys don't have to go out either, I can help you book online, Joy found a website, all beauties" Duncan said to Jinhu and Berni, then glanced at Joy.

  "Thanks for nothing!" Joey said with a grin. "I just went in and helped Duncan fake an identity, now he's a small-time investor."

  "Never mind, you guys have fun, we'll just go to the bar and see what we can get." Bernie said, looking at Jinhu as he spoke to Duncan and Clyde.

  Clyde looked at Jinhu and asked: "Brian, I see you rarely come out to practice boxing. Aren't you afraid that your skills will decline?"

  Jin Hu has been living here for quite some time, and the number of times he practiced boxing can be counted on one hand. He doesn't even need to mention that he basically comes back to sleep until dawn every day. If the Storm Seven model is broken, his buddies will directly replace it with a new one on the warship.

  "My kung fu has reached this level, it's no longer something that can be solved by just practicing, I need to find a worthy opponent." Jin Hu said to the people beside him while smiling and pretending to be mysterious.

  "So that's how it is." Duncan said after hearing Jinhu's explanation, Jinhu looked at him and seemed like he still didn't quite believe it. He had never heard of a fist reaching a certain level where you shouldn't practice anymore. Thinking about it, even if Jinhu was telling the truth, with his skills being so much better than Matt and Evan's, there was no way to verify what Jinhu said, so he could only half-believe it.

  It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, Jin Hu just gave an explanation. He didn't expect others to believe him, as long as he himself didn't lose out, they would naturally believe later on.

  After chatting for a while, several people went to find their own places to practice. It has to be said that these people have good self-discipline, practicing for two or three hours every day, which is also the only way to maintain their skills.

  Jin Hu sat on the edge of the stage and looked for a while, then Jin Mu came down from upstairs with keys in hand and said to Jin Hu: "Let's go!"
