Chapter 198: Zhou Fuhai

Shangguan Zhuren said: "Okay, I'll tell Xiao Fang to have her meet Mine Director Chen when she has time and let him know a bit about your information."

By the way, if Xiao Feng can't handle Ye Jianming on her side, we still have Mine Director Chen's support.

Then Shangguan Zhuren went to arrange for Xiao Fang to handle this matter.

I continued studying Mandarin at home.

Two weeks passed quickly.

From when I had the incident until now, it's been about a month.

I was hiding in Lao Cheng Qu, Zaocheng; besides Shangguan Zhuren, Xiao Fang, Xiao Feng, and Ye Jianming, no one else knew my information.

I also rarely inquired about outside matters. Shangguan Zhuren also didn't tell me,

During this period, I just kept practicing speaking,

so that I could quickly master Mandarin.

Because our Lu'nan dialect belongs to the northern language family, learning Mandarin wasn't that difficult.

Now my tongue's flexibility is very good; placing a rain-flower stone in my mouth feels like nothing, and I can flip it up and down at any time.

That day, Shangguan Zhuren went out again.

I then continued reading books at home, studying Mandarin.

In the evening, Shangguan Zhuren returned.

After he returned, he summoned me,

and we went together to his study,

then he turned on the computer,

He took out a USB drive from his pocket and plugged it into the computer.

Soon, the computer played audiovisual material.

These footage were somewhat blurry and showed a panicked scene.

It seemed like someone was secretly filming while following a leader.

The audiovisual was very chaotic, like a reception.

Many people were talking, laughing, and clapping.

Shangguan Zhuren watched it very carefully, not wanting to miss anything.

I wondered what the point of watching these things was,

He didn't say, I didn't ask, and we just kept watching,

We watched for about the time it takes to smoke a cigarette,

Shangguan Zhuren suddenly pressed pause,

then pointed at a middle-aged man on the computer and shouted, "It's him, look quickly."

I then followed Shangguan Zhuren's finger and looked at that person on the computer,

I suddenly felt I had seen this person somewhere before.

I immediately realized this person was the portrait on my ID card,

meaning this person actually exists in reality.

Shangguan Zhuren said: "He is Zhou Fuhai; look at him carefully."

Zhou Fuhai, I am also called Zhou Fuhai,

Zhou Fuhai looking at Zhou Fuhai.

I then leaned over the computer to examine Zhou Fuhai closely,

The camera seemed to follow him all the time, secretly filming.

Zhou Fuhai's height is about the same as mine, but his build is more robust.

His face is relatively large, his eyes are very spirited, and he has short hair.

From the footage, it can be seen that Zhou Fuhai is not holding a wine glass, nor is he talking to anyone; his gaze constantly follows one person.

This person is older than Zhou Fuhai, with a full head of white hair, holding a wine cup,

and is speaking with a man in a suit.

I felt Zhou Fuhai's role was that of a bodyguard or similar,

He must constantly protect this white-haired elder. This elder, upon closer look, is someone often seen on TV; whenever he appears on television, he shows a stern, unsmiling face.

But here we see that this elder actually has another side.

Shangguan Zhuren told me: "Don't focus on that old man; look closely at Zhou Fuhai. Look at his eyes."

I nodded.

Soon this segment of footage ended, and the next segment began,

Zhou Fuhai was eating,

He was eating with several people. At this moment he spoke, and his voice was loud, standard Mandarin.

It was not the Beijing dialect; the Beijing dialect differs from Mandarin.

He seemed very happy, constantly clinking glasses and drinking with the three people at the table.

They were discussing a racing matter; he seemed to like racing,

constantly mentioning the name of a foreign race car driver, whom he greatly admired.

This segment ended quickly,

Next, the footage switched to Zhou Fuhai going out in a suit,

He carried a bag, walking with a slight out-toed gait.

This time there was no speech; it just showed him walking.

I understood; these shots were being broadcast all around Zhou Fuhai.

From Zhou Fuhai's gaze to his speech, and even the way he walks, everything was captured.

I and Shangguan Zhuren watched it from beginning to end.

After finishing, Shangguan Zhuren took out a cigarette,

threw one to me,

then said, "Zhou Fuhai."

Upon hearing that, I quickly replied, "Shangguan Zhuren."

Shangguan Zhuren said, "Not yet; you're still a bit dazed, which shows you're not familiar with the name Zhou Fuhai."

When outsiders shout at you outside,

you'll lose focus."

I said, "I mainly want people to call me less; this man is also called Zhou Fuhai. Shangguan Zhuren, are you wanting me to imitate him?"

Shangguan Zhuren laughed,

"Still, Jianqiang is smart; that's the meaning. Zhou Fuhai is not simple; he used to be a teacher, specializing in teaching people to speak Mandarin at school, so his Mandarin is very standard, which is one of his traits. Moreover, he likes martial arts and racing, and his walk is slightly out-toed.

You can see from his gaze that he is not ordinary.

To imitate him, you need not only similar appearance but also similar voice, gait, and gaze.

Only then will others believe you."

I nodded and asked Shangguan Zhuren, "Why must I imitate him?"

Shangguan Zhuren laughed,

"This is temporarily confidential, because knowing too much in some places will cause psychological pressure."

So the less you know, the better.

Your current task is to imitate him, to imitate Zhou Fuhai—not just in appearance but also in spirit.

In short, all this is preparation for our revenge.

You must know that we are not facing a bunch of ordinary people, but a group of very capable individuals; if we are slightly careless, we will lose everything."

I said to Shangguan Zhuren, "Don't worry, Shangguan Zhuren; from today onward, I will do nothing else but study Zhou Fuhai every day and completely conquer him."

"It's not about conquering him, but becoming him. Do you understand? We don't need to conquer him; we just need to be like him. All right, start learning now."

Moreover, your physique compared to his appears frail.

Starting tomorrow, you will begin exercising at home,

those fitness equipments, I have also prepared.

They can not only train your muscles but also your will.

"Make you a true hard-sweat." Shangguan Zhuren said.

"The fitness equipment is ready; why haven't I seen it?" I asked.

Shangguan Zhuren pointed to a pile of sand outside,

and said, "That's it; sandbags tied to the legs and arms, training this way is better than anything."

Starting tomorrow, you will begin training your body at home; I will also teach you some basic martial arts knowledge and commonly used reconnaissance methods.

"From now on, we will have no idle time." Shangguan Zhuren sighed.

I said, "Shangguan Zhuren, I just like this; these past days, I've been reading books every day and practicing pinyin every day, I'm almost going crazy."

Shangguan Zhuren laughed heartily,

"I've been treating you like an elementary school student, but it's all about laying foundations. Your accent now is obviously no longer Lanling accent. That's good."

"We cannot have any other thoughts now; currently it's just training and learning."

"I will teach you all the knowledge I have accumulated in the past."

"Hmph, only this way can we defeat our opponents."
