Chapter 224: Stirring Up Trouble

Chen Mo returned a salute to Gao Gang, assumed a stance, and fixed his sharp gaze on Gao Gang.

Gao Gang likewise assumed a stance.

After two seconds of silence, Gao Gang saw that Chen Mo was still motionless, so he struck first, throwing a punch at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo carefully controlled his force, parrying and countering Gao Gang's moves.

After several rounds, Chen Mo said coldly, "Don't hold back, use full force!"

Gao Gang's successive attacks were all blocked by Chen Mo.

Hearing that, knowing Chen Mo was a master, he stopped holding back, went all out, and his attack speed increased by a third.

Chen Mo felt the strength of Gao Gang's attacks and adjusted his own force.

"Too slow, faster! Use all your strength!"

Under Chen Mo's urging, Gao Gang's attacks grew faster.

The onlooking crew members watched Chen Mo and Gao Gang spar, each with a surprised expression.

Including Long Wei and his father, who also watched nearby with solemn faces.

Neither of them expected that this pale, tender‑looking big kid could fight so well, and that Chen Mo could fight so well too.

Long Wei, watching the two fighting, couldn't help asking, "Dad, what style are they using? Who do you think will win?"

"Mr. Chen is using Xingyi Fist, that kid is now using Tongbei Fist, plus some Tai Chi Fist moves.

Both of their kung fu is good, but Mr. Chen should have the edge."

"Why can't I tell? Aren't they exchanging blows back and forth?" Long Wei asked, puzzled.

Long Bo hammered a cigarette holder hard on Long Wei's head.

"I let you spend all day only knowing how to pick up girls, not training properly, you have no eye power.

If you keep this up, you'll sooner or later be surpassed by others!"

After scolding his son, Long Bo began explaining to Long Wei.

"Mr. Chen is clearly testing that kid's level. Several times, when Mr. Chen could have dodged a punch, he chose to meet it with his arm and elbow.

There were also a few punches where Mr. Chen deliberately slowed his speed. Otherwise, that kid's face would already be bruised.

The two were about to determine a winner."

Long Bo has practiced martial arts for years and has been a coach for many years, so his eyesight naturally far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Soon after he finished speaking, Chen Mo and Gao Gang's duel reached its final moment.

Gao Gang used the Wild Horse Splitting the Mane technique, trying to elbow Chen Mo under the armpit, but Chen Mo blocked with his hand, seized Gao Gang's arm, and flung him away.

Fortunately Gao Gang's body was still agile; he twisted his waist mid‑air and landed smoothly.

After landing, Gao Gang breathed heavily, gasping.

The bout lasted only two minutes, but the stamina drain was huge; he was already exhausted.

Unlike Gao Gang, Chen Mo's complexion remained normal, not a drop of sweat on his face, and his breathing showed no abnormality.

"I lost."

Gao Gang calmly accepted his defeat.

"Your kung fu is decent. I concede!"

In the two‑minute bout, Chen Mo had already gauged Gao Gang's strength.

He could only say, "Not bad!"

Although Gao Gang is the national champion of martial arts, that is mostly routine forms, of a performance nature.

As for real combat, Gao Gang's skill can be said to be fairly good, stronger than many ring fighters.

But that's all.

Compared with the same template of Tian Yang Sheng, A Ji, and Luo Tianhong, he's more than one tier below.

Now Chen Mo's ranks are not lacking experts of his level.

Not to mention Gao Jin, Li Jie, Shen Guodong, the Tian Yang Sheng brothers, even among the veterans there are many whose skills surpass Gao Gang.

Having gauged Gao Gang's level, Chen Mo dismissed the idea of taking Gao Gang as a subordinate.

Gao Gang's kung fu is more suited for filming movies.

Anyway, Gao Gang has already, by accident, become an actor under him, so let him continue.

Liu Piaopiao ran to Chen Mo with his coat in hand.

"Mo Ge, you're amazing! Absolutely handsome!"

Chen Mo smiled, took the jacket and put it on, and said to Liu Piaopiao, "I think this person looks good; later I'll have Xian Shihui prepare a long‑term contract for him to sign, and we'll train him well; he'll definitely become famous."

Not far away, Li Yaofu heard this and hurried over to the still panting Gao Gang.

"What are you still standing here doing? Didn't you hear the boss say he wants to sign a long contract with you!

Hurry up and thank the boss!"

Only then did Gao Gang react, walked to Chen Mo and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, Sister Piao!"

Chen Mo reached out and helped him up.

"You have great kung fu and look good; keep it up. But you're a bit too pale, so get more sun in the future."

Actually Chen Mo had another suggestion he hadn't voiced, hoping you would stop bragging nonsense, like saying black guys' language is incomprehensible, or that tanks have no rear‑view mirrors!

After staying with the crew for a while, Chen Mo returned to the bar.

That evening, Chen Mo was studying a financial newspaper in the bar when Shen Guodong walked in.

"Mo Ge, A Hu says someone has been causing trouble on the Jianshazui territory lately."

Chen Mo set down the newspaper, looked up and asked, "What's going on?"

It's normal for someone to cause trouble in the venue; otherwise there wouldn't be venue lookouts.

But such minor matters are usually handled directly by the venue staff, never escalating to Shen Guodong.

Now that Shen Guodong has told Chen Mo about this, it shows it's not just a simple disturbance.

"Recently, in the venues around Jianshazui, there have been quite a few customers taking drugs; over at the KTV, there are also people chasing the dragon in private rooms."

Chen Mo's brows furrowed even deeper.

"What's going on? We didn't make our rules clear to them."

"It's been made clear long ago; before, not many people broke the rules."

These people have only recently appeared, and they're all ordinary customers; the little brothers aren't comfortable laying hands on them.

Even if our people spot them and chase them away, next time they'll just go to another venue, and our people won't recognize them.

"Many venues in Jianshazui have discovered such customers."

"A Hu suspects that members of another Triad Society are up to something, but after checking for several days, he found no one dealing drugs in the venues."

"After tailing several waves of customers, nothing was found; they are indeed just ordinary customers, and after leaving our venues they go straight home, with no sign of any connection to the Triad Society."

After hearing this, Chen Mo's brows locked tightly.

In all of Chen Mo's territories, no venue is allowed to have drug use; this rule has been in place for more than just a day or two.

Those who frequently come here to play basically all know it.

Although occasionally someone will still use drugs and chase the dragon in Chen Mo's venues, it's not many, and they are likewise driven out.

Even in venues that used to be Jingkun's territory, since Chen Mo took over, the number of people using drugs in the venues has been dwindling.

Like the situation in Jianshazui, where suddenly many drug-using customers have appeared, this is definitely someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

"Let A Hu send more people to tail those using drugs in the venues, around-the-clock, continuous surveillance."

"I just don't believe they won't show any trace!"
