Chapter Sixteen: Misunderstanding

  At this time, in a sports car not far away, a beautiful woman was holding powder and seemed to be making up against the rearview mirror inside the car. However, her gaze was also fixed on the front, seeing that the man did not take a taxi to leave, her eyebrows were also slightly frowned.

  "Don't be in a hurry, observe first, assign someone to get ready, if they disperse later, have this person keep an eye on them."

  "Yes."

  …………………

  He took out a painting by Zheng Banqiao, opened it for Zhao Long to take a look, and then immediately put it away, saying: "One piece is 3,000 yuan, five pieces in total are 15,000 yuan."

  "Dummy, not this one, not that one, take another one..." At this time, Lao Shi had already reminded Zhao Long in his mind.

  "Alright, you think everyone is like you who knows without looking? Take it easy, if you're too anxious, it'll arouse his suspicion." Zhao Long said to Lao Shi with a smile: "The painting isn't bad, but three thousand is a bit too expensive. Moreover, I need to inspect it first. If it's cheaper, I'd buy them all without hesitation."

  If it can be pressed to 1,500 or 1,300 yuan per piece, that would also cost more than 6,000 yuan. If not for the five pieces together, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicion, this person is very vigilant and tense all over.

  Moreover, his body seemed to have a sense of power, which was the first time Zhao Long had felt this way about someone he met. This self-proclaimed surname Bai guy was more dangerous than those five thugs who blocked him that one time.

  "Two thousand one piece, a total of ten thousand yuan. If you want to buy it, take a look; if not, then forget it." The man put the painting back into his travel bag and carelessly flicked his cigarette onto the ground, extinguishing it with his foot.

  He smoked very fiercely and finished the cigarette in just a few puffs.

  "You can't just name a price when doing business. How about this, I'll give you 6,000 yuan for five of them? This is a counterfeit product, and it's already not bad if one piece costs over 1,000 yuan. Actually, even if it's a fake, some are made by contemporary or modern artists with some reputation, so they're still worth some money, it just depends on how you say it."

  "At least eight thousand."

  "Don't be so absolute, okay? Six thousand five hundred yuan, you sell me the whole thing." Zhao Long was negotiating the price very seriously.

  He frowned and his eyes flashed with a hint of pain before he readily agreed: "Alright."

  From his expression, Zhao Long knew he would agree, the problem was where to get this money now. The fat man's money had already been returned to him. There were more than 8,000 yuan in his pocket before, and now with the money on the card, it didn't even add up to 1,000 yuan.

  It's not possible to go to the game hall now. But this opportunity can't be missed, it's not like rent that can wait for some time to gather money. Thinking of the better friends around who are in frequent contact, there aren't many who can immediately come up with this amount of money. First ask if Huanzi has spent that money or not, if not, borrow a bit from other classmates or Xiao Yang, must get this painting.

  "Let's go get the money, I didn't bring that much cash either." Zhao Long said as he took out his phone and quickly sent a message to Fatso with his right thumb.

  Zhao Long had a free text messaging service back then, and he exchanged hundreds of texts with Xue Er every day. While talking to him on this side, his right hand would take out the phone from his pocket on that side, without even looking at the screen, and his thumb would quickly move to type out a sentence. As a texting enthusiast back in the day, sending texts was something he could do with his eyes closed as long as he remembered the other person's phone number.

  "Damn it, dare to call the police..." But Zhao Long's very casual action was like a spark falling onto a pile of explosives, immediately igniting this person's anger.

  He raised his right hand, and a palm knife with a whistling sound had already chopped towards Zhao Long's neck. This move was powerful and heavy, weighing around 500-600 catties, and it was aimed at the vital part.

  Although Zhao Long said he had the strength of a thousand pounds, his left arm even had two thousand pounds of power close to that of an ordinary martial artist. However, his body was only several times stronger than that of an ordinary person. Two or three hundred pounds hitting the muscles might not be a problem, but five or six hundred pounds hitting a vital spot would be very dangerous.

  "Damn it..." Zhao Long cursed loudly, what's going on here? He just wanted to check for leaks.

  His body suddenly arched back, fortunately his physical reaction, speed and strength were now far superior to before. Coupled with his previous training and adaptation, it was a completely instinctive bowing motion that allowed him to dodge the white-haired man's knife hand.

  Even if he had just regrown his left arm, Zhao Long would still have been unable to dodge.

  Zhao Long unexpectedly dodged his own knife, which was also unexpected by the other person. Even an ordinary police officer wouldn't be able to dodge it. His body slightly paused, and he directly swept his leg, with his body already gathering momentum for a strike.

  Zhao Long didn't even have a chance to explain, and directly turned into a backflip from the iron plate bridge, his body quickly flipping backwards. In these days, he also grasped some of the doorways, although he still couldn't do any set routes, but the movements that he couldn't do before, now he could complete with ease. However, this person had already thrown down his pocket, both palms like two knives, chopping, hacking, slicing, stabbing, changing rapidly.

  Zhao Long had never met anyone who could use kung fu like this before. The person's strength was not great, and even when attacking, the explosive force was only around 600 catties. However, their movements were extremely fast, and once they started fighting, their killing intent was clear and every move was a ruthless and deadly blow that aimed to take down their opponent.

  Luckily, Zhao Long's physical reaction, speed and strength were all stronger than his, otherwise being suddenly attacked by him would have been really dangerous. Even so, just now under his consecutive knife hands, his chest was also swept once, it was scorching hot, and the clothes were directly torn open a slit.

  In a series of over ten moves, it was only two or three seconds. Zhao Long retreated more than ten steps in a row, and with a loud crash, he directly crashed into the wall.

  As soon as he saw Zhao Long had no way out, a ruthless murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the white surname man.

  In his mind, this kid must also be a practitioner's son, but he has too little experience, otherwise it would really not be easy to deal with. His palms are now fully powered and the force of this blow is already around 700 pounds. With a double palm strike, Double Swallows Return to Nest, directly hitting Zhao Long's two ribs from both sides. And his feet have also accumulated strength, if Zhao Long crouches down or jumps up, he can immediately intercept him.

  "Damn it, you think I'm Hello Kitty just because the tiger isn't showing its might!" Zhao Long exerted force with both arms, directly without dodging or evading. In an instant, his strength was fully utilized, and his muscles bulged.

  "Bang......" Both palms chopped onto Zhao Long's arms, and a hint of complacency flashed in the man's eyes. This blow could have snapped a small tree trunk as thick as an arm.

  However, he didn't hear the sound of Zhao Long's arm breaking, but felt a huge rebound force, and then his hands tightened. After Zhao Long blocked his palms with both arms, he directly grabbed his hands backhand. The pain in his arms was forgotten, and he grasped his hands with all his might.

  So fast, that person was shocked, this kid's speed was actually faster than his own, he didn't even have time to dodge. Must have been discovered early, fell into the trap, run quickly. Thinking of this, his legs suddenly jumped up and kicked directly at Zhao Long's head.

  "Get out!" Zhao Long roared, his arms thrusting forward in a single motion. His body, which had just taken to the air, was directly pushed out by Zhao Long's forceful gesture.

  "Thud......" He heavily fell to the ground, rolling twice in a row. His body suddenly jumped up, and with a burst of force from his feet, he was about to charge forward.

  "Ahh...!" A miserable cry, Zhao Long directly pulled up a bluestone slab from the roadside in front of him and hit the man's leg with super accuracy. The guy who had just jumped up to escape fell to the ground in pain.

  "Action... action, something's happened... action..." The woman tossed down her makeup box and, wearing a super short skirt, had already rushed out of the sports car.

  While four police officers around also quickly ran towards Zhao Long and his group.

  "Ah……" Zhao Long directly stepped forward and pressed the man's body and face to the ground with one foot, also pinning down his hand that was trying to grab a knife from his calf. However, at this moment, Zhao Long's heart was also filled with fear, and both of his arms were in severe pain.

  Just then, a piece of music sounded, and it was Fatso who had returned.

  "Boss, why didn't you say so earlier? I've almost spent all my money on picking up girls. Are you in a hurry or not? If so, I'll think of another way..." Fatso's voice came from the phone.

  "It's nothing, I was going to buy something and resell it for a profit earlier, but the deal fell through. Something came up, I'll contact you later." Zhao Long had already hung up the phone and opened his text messages.

  "You're brain-damaged! I sent a text message asking friends for money, damn it!" Zhao Long was furious.

  "Don't move, don't move..." Those police officers rushed over from afar, Zhao Long had already discovered them, so he was angrily letting this guy see the text message. From this guy's reaction earlier, and him shouting to call the police, plus now a group of police officers rushing up with guns drawn, no need to use your brain to guess what's going on.

  "Huh......" I didn't expect there was a beautiful woman, dressed so hot and spicy. The quality of the police nowadays is actually this high.

  "What are you looking at? Get down immediately and raise your hands." Zhang Siyu saw Zhao Long sizing her up, and immediately raised her gun at him.

  "Be careful not to get burned, I'm a good citizen, he's a wanted criminal, right? Now I'm catching a wanted criminal." Zhao Long pointed at the guy under his feet: "The gun is aimed here."

  "You..." Zhang Siyu suddenly froze, her finger pointing at Zhao Long's gun still slightly trembling. She had been setting this up for several days, squatting in wait. Her eyes were dark from lack of sleep, and just when she finally saw the suspect appear, thinking she could catch a big fish with this, she didn't expect to be messed up by this guy.
