Chapter 58

"What are you doing?!" Faced with Ye Wen's stern rebuke, Ma Jingsheng and the others could not help but tremble in their hearts, instinctively feeling a sense of awe. At this moment, the principal, with a bruised face, held his injured hand and replied with a hint of grievance: "They forced me to sell the school to them!"

"Do you think I don't know kung fu?" Although they felt awe, Ma Jingsheng was used to acting recklessly. Seeing his good fortune ruined, after the initial awe, he was overwhelmed by uncontrollable anger. He immediately roared in anger and charged at Ye Wen, swinging his fists.

"Ridiculous." Although Ye Wen was usually good-tempered, it didn't mean he had no temper. Especially after he had healed his internal injuries and advanced to the Danjin stage, he let out a cold snort and slightly raised his hand, firmly grabbing Ma Jingsheng's fist. Then, he kicked out with his foot.

"Bang!" A dull sound echoed. Although Ma Jingsheng had a few bruises, he was no match for the current Ye Wen. He was kicked back and crashed into the wall, feeling as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

Ye Wen took a step forward, and in an instant, he had crossed several meters, directly approaching Ma Jingsheng. He pressed him against the wall with one hand and started dialing the police with the other: "Hello, police station? Please send a few people over. This is Zhiren Primary School, and someone is causing trouble here."

Getting up from the ground, the two thugs saw their leader restrained by Ye Wen. They exchanged glances and immediately rushed toward a female teacher, intending to take a hostage to threaten Ye Wen. The female teacher, being a weak woman, was quickly cornered. Just as she was about to be grabbed, she let out a frightened scream. Ye Zheng, seeing this, also shouted in alarm: "Master, quickly save Miss Huang!"

"Don't shout." Jiang Chen patted Ye Zheng's little head and smiled. Then, he took a step forward, directly passing the two thugs and appearing in front of Miss Huang. He pushed Ye Zheng into her arms and said with a smile: "Please take care of the child for me."

"Okay." In her panic, Miss Huang instinctively took Ye Zheng into her arms. She saw Jiang Chen casually throw two punches, and with two dull sounds, the two thugs were knocked to the ground, unconscious.

"They are really too weak." Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head. "With such skills, they dare to come out and cause trouble. Fortunately, it's a peaceful era now; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died." As he spoke, he took Ye Zheng back from Miss Huang, placed him to the side, and smiled at her: "Thank you!"

"I should be the one to thank you." Miss Huang calmed her turbulent heart and recovered from her panic. She quickly said, "Thank you for saving me. May I ask your name?"

"He is my master!" Before Jiang Chen could answer, Ye Zheng couldn't help but speak up, his words filled with pride and boasting: "His name is 'Jiang Chen.' Miss Huang, let me tell you, my master is the greatest martial arts expert in the world!"

"Jiang Chen? The greatest martial arts expert in the world!" Miss Huang was slightly stunned, but then she seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "I remember you. A few years ago, you defeated the foreign boxing champion Tornado at the Sino-Western Boxing Match, bringing great honor to us Chinese!"

"Hehe, fame, fame, it's all just fame." Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh modestly. "Fame is just an external thing; being carefree is also a kind of freedom."

"A Chen." Beside him, Ye Wen couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Miss Huang is a lady, don't talk too much or go too far."

"Understood." Jiang Chen responded indifferently, then pulled Ye Zheng to sit on a chair nearby. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, also pouring a cup for Ye Wen. However, Ye Wen didn't seem as relaxed and just placed the cup in front of him.

Bored waiting, nearly half an hour passed before a few plainclothes officers finally arrived. The leader was none other than Ye Wen's acquaintance, Fat Bo. As soon as he entered the principal's office, he loudly asked, "Who called the police?"

"Bo sir, it was me who called the police." Seeing Fat Bo, Ye Wen quickly responded and then pointed to the three men lying in the corner, saying, "These guys came to the school to cause trouble, trying to force the school to sell its land. They also injured the principal and intimidated the teachers."

"Turns out it's you three scoundrels. Men, take these three scoundrels away." As the local police chief, how could Fat Bo not recognize the local gang leader Ma Jingsheng? However, Ye Wen was his old friend, and with Ye Wen now being a leading figure in the martial arts community of Hong Kong, Fat Bo naturally had to give him face. He immediately ordered his men to arrest them.

"Arrest me? Fatso, are you crazy? Do you know who my boss is? See how you explain this to your superiors!" Hearing Fat Bo's words, Ma Jingsheng looked at him fearlessly, his words filled with threats and no hint of politeness.

"What are you saying? Do you know who you are? I'll tell you, even if you were the emperor, I'm still going to arrest you today!" Seeing Ma Jingsheng dare to threaten him, Fat Bo was also angry. He immediately took out handcuffs and snapped them onto Ma Jingsheng's wrists.

"You... fine, we'll see!" Never expecting Fat Bo to actually handcuff him, Ma Jingsheng was both shocked and angry. He glared at Fat Bo and left a menacing threat.

"Hmph, you brat, what do you think the police are? Threatening me? Take these three scoundrels away!" Fat Bo naturally wasn't afraid of Ma Jingsheng. He coldly snorted and waved his hand to have them taken away.

Ma Jingsheng glared at Fat Bo, then turned to look at Ye Wen and Jiang Chen. In the end, he didn't resist and was taken away by Fat Bo's men along with the two thugs.

"Alright, Master Ye, the matter is handled." Fat Bo patted his chest and promised, "Rest assured, I will handle this matter properly."

"Thank you, Bo sir!" Ye Wen expressed his gratitude.

"Not at all, not at all!" Fat Bo quickly shook his head and said, "I'll be going now. There are many things to handle at the police station. If you need anything, just call me."

"Alright, Bo sir, take care!" Ye Wen smiled and saw Fat Bo off.

Regarding this person, it was hard to say if he was a good person, as he had done many questionable things. But it was also hard to call him a bad person, as he wasn't a major villain. He was more of a shrewd politician and businessman. Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't want to deal with him much and didn't say a word throughout the entire process.

After Ma Jingsheng and the others were taken away by Fat Bo, Ye Wen and Jiang Chen left the school. Amidst the thanks from the principal and the teachers, the two chatted as they walked toward Ye Wen's home.

Ye Wen explained that the original Wing Chun Martial Arts Hall was bought with the money he and Jiang Chen, along with many disciples, had pooled together. Therefore, it could only be used for Wing Chun disciples to practice. He had found a house nearby to rent, and fortunately, his current income was substantial, so he didn't worry about the rent.

The distance wasn't far, and even with Ye Zheng, they didn't take long to reach Ye Wen's home, a two-story detached house.

"Yongcheng, guess who I brought?" As soon as they entered, Ye Wen smiled and asked Zhang Yongcheng.

"Who?" Zhang Yongcheng was cooking in the kitchen and quickly came out. Seeing Jiang Chen, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaim in surprise, "A Chen, you're back?!"

"Master, it's been a long time!" Jiang Chen smiled and greeted her.

"Indeed, it has been a long time. Come in, A Chen!" Zhang Yongcheng, regaining her composure, warmly welcomed Jiang Chen. Despite her usual cold and gentle demeanor, she had a deep sense of gratitude toward Jiang Chen, Ye Wen's eldest disciple.

She remembered that when they first came to Hong Kong, life was hard, and they couldn't even afford rent or their child's tuition. It was thanks to the extra tuition Jiang Chen provided that they managed to get through those tough times. Later, he helped her husband open the Wing Chun Martial Arts Hall and set up factories, teahouses, and restaurants to provide a living for the Wing Chun disciples. They owed Jiang Chen a great deal.

"Alright, Master." Jiang Chen, not one to be formal, smiled and entered. Ye Wen and Zhang Yongcheng warmly welcomed him. After dinner, they tried to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Chen ultimately didn't stay and went to a nearby hotel for the night...
