CHAPTER 251: CHAPTER 251: AN ACCIDENTAL ENCOUNTER WITH LI CHANGYANG

"The Return of the Condor Heroes! Making Waves in the Martial World!"

When Lu Zheng and Lin Wan finished giving their statements and came out of the Su City Bureau, the video had already climbed to Local TOP1 and National TOP20, and it was still rising.

"This trend, this speed, it’s insane!"

Actually, from the time they entered the bureau to when they left, it was only about two hours.

Verifying Lu Zheng and Lin Wan’s identities was quite easy; not to mention they both had their IDs with them, a call to the Hai City Bureau would clear everything up.

As for their skills...

Is there another explanation? Geniuses are just naturally like this; there’s no helping it.

During their statement session, people from Su City Zoo also came. After checking the wild boars, they took them away and insisted on meeting with Lu Zheng and Lin Wan.

Upon learning that Lu Zheng was temporarily unemployed, they enthusiastically invited him to work at the Su City Wildlife Park and the accompanying dean even patted his chest, promising Lu Zheng a permanent position.

...

"So why didn’t you accept?" Lin Wan chuckled, "With your strength, you’d be great at manual labor too."

Lu Zheng pouted. Before he could even respond, the police at Su City Bureau had already convinced the zoo director to leave.

It’s a joke that if Lu Zheng really wanted to make money, with his skills, he could just take a spin in the UFC and gain both fame and fortune.

He’s a rich kid! Not short on money!

"What a pity, those wild boars really are wild, you can’t slaughter them for meat."

Lu Zheng shook his head, reminiscing about last year’s Pig Demon.

That pork lasted him a long time, the meat was chewy and savory, Aunt Liu made various dishes out of it for quite a while before it was all gone.

Hmm, the wolf meat afterward was also nice, but that was soon finished too. Only the already made wolf skin coat was left, stuffed at the bottom of the chest, ready to be worn come winter.

"Gulp!" Lu Zheng swallowed his saliva.

"Hungry?" Lin Wan couldn’t help but ask, "Don’t tell me you’re craving wild boar meat and it’s making you hungry. Didn’t they say wild boar meat isn’t good?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "It depends on the kind of wild boar meat, but this kind might really not taste good."

"Let’s go, get some barbecue!"

There were barbecue stands around the scenic area, and they found a nearby one, ordering grilled fish, beef, and pork trotters, enjoying the lakeside night view while leisurely beginning their late dinner... or was it supper?

Sure enough, the surrounding diners were all chatting about the wild boar incident.

"Awesome! Really awesome! Those two are definitely Martial Arts Masters!"

"Have you read too many novels? I heard from an insider friend that they are active special forces soldiers, they just happened to handle it smoothly."

"No, no, they’re secret agents, you see they didn’t show their faces, always wearing hats and sunglasses, just afraid of exposing their identity."

"Exactly, otherwise they’d definitely reveal their faces, what prestige that would be!"

Then the topic shifted to Chinese Martial Arts, saying masters are found among common people, and with Lu Zheng’s skills, no one could stop him, things like that.

Lu Zheng and Lin Wan exchanged smiles, Lu Zheng checked his phone and found that the video with the best shooting angle, later edited with music, had already climbed to the National TOP10.

Then Lin Wan’s phone rang.

"You and Lu Zheng went to Su City?" Huang Xiumin’s voice sounded, "And by the way, you took down a herd of wild boars?"

Lin Wan huffed angrily, "Comrade Huang Xiumin, please watch your language!"

"Tsk!" Huang Xiumin expressed disdain, "Who knows whose mind is unhealthy and only knows how to put on a front!"

"Hmph!"

While Lin Wan and Huang Xiumin were bickering over the phone, Lu Zheng looked up and saw four or five men walk in together.

"Li Changyang?"

Lu Zheng recognized one of them, it was the boxer Li Changyang who he had met twice in Hai City, the one who strongly recommended Lu Zheng to compete in the ring.

"Land God! It’s really you!"

Li Changyang’s eyes lit up, and he hurried over to greet them, "I thought the person in the video looked like you, but I wasn’t sure, and it wasn’t convenient to disturb you."

Lu Zheng nodded and waved his hand.

Li Changyang quickly got the hint and immediately stopped talking, but enthusiastically came over, reached out his hands, and shook Lu Zheng’s hand, then greeted Lin Wan.

"What a coincidence, you guys came to Su City too?" Lu Zheng asked.

"We have a gym in Su City, we’re undergoing closed training recently," Li Changyang said.

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but ask, "You’re able to come out during closed training?"

Li Changyang coughed twice, "We can still take a break over the weekend."

"Brother Yang, are these your friends?" The few men who came with Li Changyang also came over, "Join us?"

"Um..." Li Changyang looked at Lu Zheng.

"Sure, why not." Lin Wan said with a smile from the side.

So Lu Zheng nodded as well, said a word to the server, and the group moved to a round table, Li Changyang ordered some more items.

After introducing themselves, Lu Zheng learned that they were all, like Li Changyang, athletes practicing mixed martial arts, signed under the same club, making them fellow martial brothers of sorts.

"By the way, have you signed with the UFC?" Lu Zheng suddenly asked.

"No!" Li Changyang replied with an awkward smile and didn’t hide, "I didn’t make it to the finals in the last Kunlun Technique."

"Sorry about that." Lu Zheng said.

"It’s okay, really." Li Changyang waved his hand repeatedly, "I wasn’t skilled enough, nothing more to say."

"Alright." Lu Zheng nodded, clinking glasses with Li Changyang, "Keep it up for the next round."

At this point, a man named Liu Jingbo kept feeling that Lu Zheng and Lin Wan looked familiar, then suddenly pulled out his phone and opened that Local TOP1 short video.

"What the...?" Liu Jingbo abruptly looked up, "Are you guys...."

"Ahem!" Li Changyang immediately coughed, interrupting him.

Liu Jingbo swallowed hard, looking incredulously at Lu Zheng, then at Lin Wan.

"Xiaobo, what’s up with you?" The other two guys were puzzled as to why Liu Jingbo was so surprised.

Then Liu Jingbo handed his phone over to them.

They took a look at it, "Didn’t we watch this in the afternoon? The comments said the most logical explanation was that the wild boars were pre-sedated, just a staged act for clicks and... and..."

Then they blankly looked up at Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, having no choice—they hadn’t changed clothes and were right there in front of them, so they were recognized.

Lu Zheng gave a slight smile, placing a finger in front of his lips.

The group nodded, hearing the surrounding people still discussing about the video affair, they knew Lu Zheng didn’t want to be exposed.

However, seeing Lu Zheng and Lin Wan’s fair hands, there was an unintentional look of disdain in their eyes, and they just laughed without saying more.

"What kind of look is that?" Li Changyang scolded in a low voice, "Land God could knock you down with just one hand!"

"Brother Yang, I know this guy is your friend, we won’t say anything, but you don’t have to cover up for him," the guy named Tian Liyuan said, "We’re not fools."
