Chapter 434: Stunned and Dumbfounded

No, no, this can't go on! Xu Mo being outstanding is a good thing, but in outsiders' eyes he can't be too outstanding, otherwise someone might have ulterior motives to poach him… Seeing the police officers' gazes, Han Fei thought.

Han Fei also noticed Chief Gao's look, a scorching gaze of jealous longing for talent.

He absolutely cannot stand seeing Xu Mo being poached; if Xu Mo were really poached, it would be a huge loss to their Police Station.

Thinking that, Han Fei couldn't help but speak up.

"Actually, Xu Mo doesn't know everything; he also has shortcomings, such as…," at this moment Han Fei's mind raced.

He racked his brain and finally thought of something Xu Mo doesn't know: Qinna Technique!

Hand‑to‑hand combat and Qinna are among the required courses for police officers at the Police Academy; almost every officer knows them, even female officers.

Han Fei knows Xu Mo's skills are good, but also knows Xu Mo is Wild Method; his prowess comes purely from speed and strength, and Xu Mo doesn't know Qinna Technique.

After thinking, Han Fei immediately said, "For example, Qinna Technique! Xu Mo didn't graduate from the Police Academy, he never learned this."

"Who says I don't know it? I just learned Qinna Technique…" Xu Mo silently muttered to himself.

"Team Leader Xu doesn't know Qinna Technique?" a police officer's previously dull eyes suddenly brightened.

He felt a bit relieved inside.

Finally there was something he could do that Xu Mo couldn't.

The other police officers felt the same; everyone's mood instantly balanced.

Turns out even a genius like Xu Mo has things he doesn't know, but thinking about it, there's no such thing as an all‑round genius.

Otherwise, would we even let anyone else live?

"As a police officer, how can you get by without knowing Qinna Technique?" another officer suddenly said.

"Combat and Qinna are required courses; if you don't know this, how can you instantly subdue a criminal? Without it, wouldn't it be dangerous when responding to arrests?"

"Exactly, without Qinna Technique you get easily injured when apprehending criminals… Team Leader Xu, if you don't mind, I can teach you some basic Qinna techniques for self‑defense,"

The speaker was Lao Deng, also an old police officer, the best‑handed officer of the Qinghewan Branch.

He suddenly stepped forward, wanting to teach Xu Mo some basic Qinna techniques, first because he didn't want this newly rising star in the police world to get injured or even sacrificed during a capture, which would undoubtedly be a loss to the entire police community.

Second, because Xu Mo is an undisputed genius, teaching a genius is certainly an honor.

Later he would have bragging rights; he could proudly tell others, "Team Leader Xu, you know? His Qinna Technique, I taught it!"

"Teach Xu Mo?" Han Fei's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

He only said half the story; he said Xu Mo doesn't know Qinna Technique, but didn't say Xu Mo is a weakling!

You should know that Xu Mo's skills are not even weaker than Chen Ke's; self‑protection is certainly no problem—what criminal could hurt Xu Mo?

"Actually, Xu Mo's skills are quite…," Han Fei was about to speak when Xu Mo nodded at that moment: "Fine, I've actually wanted to learn Qinna Technique for a while; if you're willing to teach, I'd be eager to learn."

Xu Mo thought this was an opportunity.

Although the system had just rewarded him with Qinna Technique, the others didn't know he could.

Qinna Technique will inevitably be needed later; instead of later struggling to explain when he mastered it, it's better to seize this chance to 'learn' now.

That way, when he uses it later it won't seem abrupt, since everyone saw his 'learning' process.

Seeing Xu Mo agree, Lao Deng instantly beamed: "Come, come, let's go to the open space here; I'll first demonstrate a few most basic moves for you to see."

Speaking, he pulled a nearby police officer and began demonstrating to Xu Mo the most basic Qinna moves.

Xu Mo watched from the side, even half‑heartedly 'learning' the basic moves.

In the room, the other officers also set down their chopsticks, watching Lao Deng's on‑site teaching.

Of course, they weren't watching to learn Qinna; they had already studied these at the Police Academy.

What they mainly watched was whether Xu Mo could pick it up.

He probably won't learn it; no matter how extraordinary the talent, there's a limit—being able to become a God Gunman without a teacher is already… a police officer thought.

If Xu Mo can't learn it in a short time, they can feel a bit better.

At least it balances things a lot, since finally there's a skill they have that Xu Mo hasn't learned.

Soon, Lao Deng, together with a police officer, finished a simple demonstration of some basic Qinna moves.

"These are roughly the simple moves; if you master them, normal self‑defense is enough. Team Leader Xu, did you note the moves I just demonstrated?"

Xu Mo nodded: "Got it."

The moves Lao Deng just demonstrated were very simple; an ordinary person can remember them after one look, so Xu Mo remembering them was expected.

"Then… how about a real‑combat test? Come at me, strike boldly, it's fine," Lao Deng patted his chest, looking confident.

His skill is the best in the Qinghewan Branch, without equal.

Even six or seven ordinary big men can't get close to him; he's very confident in his own skill and doesn't think that Xu Mo, who only learned basic moves, could hurt him.

Xu Mo was eager to try; at first glance he looked like a 'little wimp' who just learned a bit of Three‑legged Cat Kung Fu and is daring to challenge a martial‑arts master.

"Alright, here I go," Xu Mo assumed his stance.

Lao Deng also took a ready stance: "Come!"

Before the two even started, Chief Gao preemptively reminded Lao Deng: "Lao Deng, take it easy, don't go full‑force; if you get on Team Leader Xu, be careful, when we get back I'll deal with you!"

He wasn't belittling Xu Mo with that.

On the contrary, it was somewhat protective of Xu Mo, the benefactor who had just helped their station solve a case.

"Don't worry, Chief Gao, I've got it covered," Lao Deng patted his chest in assurance.

Then he refocused on Xu Mo, "Come."

The next second, Xu Mo moved.

He deliberately slowed his speed, also holding back some force, and threw a punch.

"That's not it; you still haven't grasped the essence… watch me," Lao Deng, seeing this, swiftly reached out, grasped Xu Mo's wrist, intending to use his force against him and knock him down, to demonstrate what real Qinna Technique is.

But Lao Deng didn't expect that the punch Xu Mo threw was deliberately leaving an opening.

When Lao Deng's hand reached to grab the punch Xu Mo had thrown, Xu Mo lowered his body, using his elbow like a blade to strike Lao Deng's neck, while his other hand attacked Lao Deng's left hand, complemented by a Sweeping Hall Kick. Lao Deng instantly lost his balance; Xu Mo pressed the advantage, one hand gripping Lao Deng's neck, the other his left hand, pinning him down…

The crowd stared dumbfounded.

Even the private room fell instantly into dead silence…
