Volume 1: National Treasure of China Chapter 48: Turmoil

  The dock of the port in Huaguo City, Su Rui is supporting Long Ji to walk down from the cruise ship. The room on the ship where Su Rui and Long Ji originally stayed has been cleaned up. When Su Rui took Long Ji for treatment, she asked to change rooms. Moreover, Su Rui only went to the captain's cabin once and settled everything because she had threatened the captain of this voyage to keep her secret, claiming that she was also an assassin who had left the organization and was being pursued. If the captain did not want to keep her secret, the next one to be pursued might be the captain himself. Su Rui also claimed that she absolutely had the ability to quietly take down the captain among many crew members.

  At that time, the captain thought there was a beauty coming to seduce him. After all, every time the cruise ship set sail, there would be young and beautiful women who came to entice him. But he didn't expect that this time it was a female killer who threatened him. However, the captain also understood that if something happened on his own ship and it wasn't kept secret, then perhaps no one would dare to ride his ship again in the future. So, for his own benefit, the captain helped Su Rui out of trouble.

  After returning to Haishi, Su Rui immediately found a hidden place to settle down Long Ji, and then went out to buy a new phone, finally dialing a number.

  The phone was quickly connected, but the other party was obviously cautious and asked several times before figuring it out. The caller turned out to be Su Rui. As soon as they heard that it was Su Rui's call, a burst of cheers erupted from the other end of the phone. It wasn't for anything else, but because Su Rui's call was actually from afar, and when he left Japan earlier, he had asked for Yuan Hang and Xiao Wu's numbers in case he couldn't contact them when he returned.

  It wasn't until after the phone call that Su Rui found out that Xiao Wu and others had already returned to their home country. As for why they hadn't changed their phone number, it was because they were waiting for Su Rui and Long Xing to return. After asking for the address, Su Rui quickly pulled out a taxi and headed straight to where Xiao Wu and others lived.

  The distance between the two places is not far, it's just from one district to another. This was also where Long Xing opened his supermarket at first. The place where people live is a large warehouse, but fortunately, it has been renovated and divided into small rooms, with some areas already having three floors.

  As soon as she arrived here, Su Rui was shocked by the residence of Xiao Wu and others. It was her first time to see so many people living together in a large warehouse.

  Only Xiao Wu and Yuan Hang were delighted to see Su Rui, but as soon as they saw the man she was leaning on, a sense of hostility rose up. After all, Su Rui was Dragon's woman, and this was something that Xiao Wu and Yuan Hang understood best. Now, she was actually with another man, who didn't look young either, and was even being supported by her. The crowd's hearts weren't feeling right, and instinctively they closed in on Dragon. Hundreds of people surrounded Su Rui and Dragon in the middle, and the scene looked quite grand.

  Su Rui saw Xiao Wu and the group of people surrounding him, immediately shouting: "What are you doing... He is Fifth Brother's big brother, helped Fifth Brother a lot in New York, and even sacrificed himself to save me when we returned to China. Are you trying to rebel?" Looking at Xiao Wu and the others, Su Rui was somewhat furious, yelling, her expression biting her teeth, guessing that if things didn't go well, she would dare to rush up and give them a good beating.

  Xiao Wu and the others looked at Long Ji in disbelief after Su Rui said that, but they quickly dispersed. Xiao Wu and Yuan Hang apologized repeatedly, which finally settled the matter. Otherwise, things would have gotten out of hand.

  After seeing everyone disperse, Su Rui finally laid Long Xing on the large sofa in front of the warehouse and asked Xiao Wu and Yuan Hang about their recent situation.

  Xiao Wu and Yuan Hang, of course, did not dare to hide anything, and poured out everything that had happened recently like dumping beans from a bamboo tube. In the end, Xiao Wu was a bit wronged and scratched his head, carefully looking at Su Rui and asking what to do next.

  As expected, Su Rui was not covering up, she quickly analyzed the reason. The three major gangs in Haishi were far more powerful than Xiao Wu and others in terms of local time, and the financial resources, material resources, and human resources accumulated by the three major gangs over a long period of time were also many times more than those under Xiao Wu's command. According to Su Rui's judgment, her fifth brother should be able to return soon, so she could only let Xiao Wu and others take care of their business first, temporarily hold back and wait for Long Hang's return.

  Things were discussed up to this point, but Su Rui had a question. Before he left Japan, Long Xing had told him that he had unintentionally obtained two secret manuals. He said that if they practiced them until the end, they would be able to handle ordinary ability users and magic users with ease. He also said that he wanted to teach Xiao Wu and Yan Hao, training them into experts who could win against ability users and magic users relying solely on their martial arts skills. At the time, Su Rui hadn't paid much attention to it, after all, with Long Xing around, he knew about his methods, which included a physical defense that even bullets couldn't penetrate.

  Just now she heard Xiaowu and others say that they were forced back by an ability user on the opposite side. This made her suspect, why the kung fu said by Long Xing was so powerful, but it didn't work out, there is only one reason, that is to say, Xiaowu and Yanhao have stopped practicing this martial art.

  After Su Rui's scolding and explanation, Xiao Wu and Yan Hao finally understood the benefits of the kung fu that their Fifth Brother had taught them. So, they very generously called over the other four people again.

  Now, of the six big brothers at the beginning, two have already died, that is, Mu Gan and Jia Jing are dead, leaving only Wu Shi brothers, Man Xiao Bei and Ruan Xiao Huo these four people. Xiao Wu and Yan Hao will teach these four people the kung fu left by Long Xing, while Yuan Hang is more suitable for being a scholar, so he manages the subordinates and takes care of business.

  As for Xiao Wu and Yan Hao's kung fu, the two of them decided after discussion that among the remaining 500 brothers, they would select 100 with some foundation to practice this set of kung fu together with the other four big brothers, ensuring that they had the most elite brothers in their hands, guaranteeing the strength of the Huálóng gang, and at the very least training out good men who could take on ten enemies alone. Thus, the initial elite brothers of the Huálóng gang were finally determined by Xiao Wu and Yan Hao, and then thrown into training.

  However, the training of Xiao Wu and Yan Hao was more than ten times that of others. Often after teaching everyone a set of movements, they would sneak into their respective rooms for secret training. After all, the two could be considered the temporary backbone of the Huálóng gang.

  Later on, Xiao Wu and Yan Hao simply taught a complete set of kung fu to the other four bosses, letting them lead the Hu Long gang to train, while the two of them themselves day and night retreated into their own small houses to start solo training.

  In the midst of everyone's training, people often heard the sound of Xiao Wu and Yan Hao fighting, with the ping-pong sounds mixed with the sound of walls being smashed.

  Su Rui stood at the railing on the third floor, watching as everyone threw themselves into training. The enthusiastic scene slightly improved Su Rui's mood, after all, Long Xing's subordinates were becoming stronger, which would bring great benefits to Long Xing himself. She had indeed paid out everything she should have for Long Xing.

  "I just can't figure out who this 'Fifth Brother' you're talking about is..." Long Ji walked out of the room, dragging his almost fully recovered injuries, and grabbed onto the railing on the third floor, staring blankly at the crowd training below.

  Su Rui turned her head and looked at Long Ji with a complex gaze, seemingly not understanding why he didn't know who the fifth brother was: "Besides your brothers, how many more fifth brothers can there be?" Su Rui leaned to one side, looking at Long Ji in confusion.

  "Haha, this kid, actually has secrets from his own woman, to be honest with you, his real name is Long Xing, it seems that the 'Fifth Brother' you mentioned is just an alias he uses. You've found a good man." Long Ji smiled as he looked at Su Rui and continued: "You've found a good man." After finishing speaking, Long Ji slightly smiled and turned to head downstairs, not paying attention to Su Rui's angry appearance, he also wanted to exercise his body, it had been several days since he last moved, feeling a bit rusty.

  At the same time, Japan.

  The two big shots from the Ministry of Defense and National Security Agency of Japan are having a heated argument. The reason for the dispute is simple: the security personnel at the Tokyo Museum lost two steel plates, which were only discovered missing now, more than two months later, with no one reporting it earlier. It wasn't until a big shot from the National Security Agency saw the record of the two steel plates during an inspection that they realized they couldn't find them. This caused both departments to panic, and in order to avoid responsibility, the two big shots started blaming each other.

  After all, it's not good to push the responsibility onto anyone's head, so in the end, the police headquarters and the Self-Defense Force officials made a statement, requesting each unit to use their strongest forces to send all the top agents around the world to search for these two steel plates. If they can also find the other steel plate, that would be even better.

  So, inside Japan, all the forces that could be mobilized by the state were used at once. Among those sent to investigate the steel plate and the people who went with it were some old guys who were super masters, as well as Japan's most advanced invention, the White Gold Clone People. In the end, there were only some hidden Shadow-level Ninjas leading some high-ranking ninjas, while the military dispatched its most famous army of warrior monks.

  The total number of people who have been organized exceeds five hundred before, and they were sent to various countries around the world, especially those major powers that are being focused on, because only major powers will have the ability to decipher the treasure on the steel plate.

  It seems that a turmoil is about to erupt all over the world, but the high-ranking officials of Japan still don't know that the root cause of these events is just one person, Ryūgō. The question now is where is Ryūgō at this moment?

  A secluded little harbor in New York.

  Yi Shui finally managed to find a boat that agreed to take him and Long Xing out of New York, smuggling them into China. It wasn't until Yi Shui brought Long Xing to the port that he discovered someone had been waiting for them all along.

  Only to see the man in black sitting on the ship at the harbor, with a sinister smile on his face, staring at the two of them. The person who had agreed to smuggle him out was already lying unconscious on their own ship. Seeing all this, Izu didn't even need to think about it and knew that the Dark Temple's efficiency was indeed swift, able to accurately find him in such a short time, and even take the lead and wait for him here.

  "It seems like another big battle is coming." Long Xing sighed and pulled out his dagger, turning to look at Yi Shui with a gaze that clearly indicated he wanted her to leave first. After all, someone who dared to find him alone wasn't a soft persimmon. Judging from his appearance, it was likely the guy Yi Shui mentioned, the one with the devouring ability.

  The first update is online, and the second update is expected at 5:55 pm. The small seal needs to be collected. Please collect it, everyone!
