chapter-146
Aunt Li’s husband rushed back. He was wearing quite a bit of clothes, so he was sweaty all over.
"Hon…Honey, I… I called the police and… the ambulance. They will be here shortly. I already told them it was important!" he said as he wiped off the sweat.
"Honey?" He was surprised that Aunt Li didn’t respond.
"I don’t think that will be necessary…" Aunt Li murmured, "We might have put our fingers in his pie…"
"What? What are you talking about?" The husband was confused. He thought Aunt Li might be too scared and didn’t know what she was talking about.Following Aunt Li’s eyes, he saw that the Amazing Fate Pet Shop was dark. They could not see anything in there, but there was a man standing at the door…
"Is that… the owner? He didn’t get hurt?" He rubbed his eyes.
And then he saw that there were several men lying outside the store.
"What…What is going on?" He was even more confused.
Aunt Li forced a smile, "Honey, I think we are over thinking… He had to know Kung Fu…"
"What? What Kung Fu? What do you mean?" The husband was astonished, "What is it? I only left for a few minutes, what happened? Tell me!"
Aunt Li sighed and said, "Those guys went in and were going to rob the store. I thought the owner was going to be in big trouble… then, the lights went out and those guys were thrown out one by one…"The husband pointed at Zhang Zian and couldn’t believe it. "You mean… That young kid is a great fighter?"
Aunt Li nodded, "I am sure. No wonder he didn’t listen to our warning. I guess he might have be a soldier or a policeman before. It was so dark in the store. All I heard were the screams of the guys…"
A few young men who were hiding to film the situation all came out at this point.
They discussed the situation excitedly as they walked.
"Holy sh*t! That guy was good!"
"Best fighter ever!"
"I know! He beat up seven guys that had weapons!"
"The point is that he was very quick. All those guys were kicked out within minutes…"
Aunt Li was shocked. She walked up to the young men.
"Hey guys, could you show me what you recorded?"
"Sure!" Holding smartphones with large screens in hand, more than one of them had recorded what happened. They were thrilled to share.
In the video, it was the same as Aunt Li’s description. Seven men went in and were thrown out. Before the lights went out, there was only Zhang Zian in the store.
Since the store was completely dark, the recorders were standing across from the street, and their phones weren’t professional devices,no one was able to capture what really happened in the store once the lights went out. What a pity!
"Oh…there was music!" Aunt Li’s husband listened again carefully."
"That’s right!" The young men started discussing again, "You missed it. After those people went in, the owner didn’t panic. He didn’t run nor did he start fighting right away. Instead, he turned off the lights and picked a song for background music before initiating the fight."
"It was "The Ocean’s Roar"! What a song!"
"What a hidden hero!"
"That’s what Kung Fu is about!"
"Oh… If I was gay I would definitely marry him…"
Aunt Li was speechless.
From the beginning to the end of the song, it was about 2 minutes. Within those 2 minutes, everything had been handled.
Zhang Zian turned the lights back on as if he wanted to prove something.
Everyone clearly saw that the store was a mess. The door was broken and there was blood on the floor. However, Zhang Zian was completely in one piece and it looked like nothing had happened to him. The most important point – he was the only one in the store.
Everyone was amazed!
This was not the end of the story yet.
Two young men that looked like college kids ran over to him.
"Master! Master! How come you didn’t show us how you beat up those devil men?"
"Yeah, Master! That’s not fair! We have been longing to see your Kung Fu and you kicked us back to school early!"
The crowd heard and understood. Although young, the owner already had two followers. He had to be great at Kung Fu.
One of the guys that had recorded the fight started praising him. "Before, I thought Chinese Kung Fu was only a performance, and that Western-style boxing was better. That was because I have never met someone who knew Kung Fu…"
Another person agreed, "That’s true. Not to mention it isn’t easy to meet someone who really knows Kungfu. The guys on TV are there for a show. Real Kung Fu masters wouldn’t even consider going on TV…"
"Do you guys think this master will recruit more students?"
"Oh no. Great minds think alike!"
"If I could learn real Kungfu from him, I would be willing to spend some money."
"Of course! Money is nothing. If we can learn real Kung Fu, we could use it to get girls!"
"Let’s go ask him!"
Looking at the group of excited young men running towards the pet store, Aunt Li and her husband was astonished.
Aunt Li’s husband wanted to follow, but Aunt Li dragged him back.
Aunt Li was mad. "What the heck, old man? Do you want to learn Kung Fu and get girls, too?"
The husband was anxious, "Of course not! I wanted to follow. If he really is a Kung Fu master, our family will be safe here."
Aunt Li agreed, so she let him go.
The husband looked around and whispered, "When we have enough in our savings, we could start a small restaurant here. It is quite close to the school and the rent is much cheaper here. Look, the traffic is quite good here as well. We would do well having a small restaurant here…"
Aunt Li’s eyes brightened up.
Having their own restaurant was something Aunt Li had been dreaming about after all these years of being a street vendor.
However, the nightmare from their previous experience still scared them. They didn’t know when trouble would come back. But if this kid could keep them safe, it would be another story.
"Hurry up and see what’s going on. Go!" She pushed her husband.
The husband was speechless. It was her who had dragged him back and it was also her who rushed him to go forward…
Seeing that no cars were coming down the road, he ran up and followed the young kids into the pet store.
