Chapter 245 Do you dare to break the taboo?
Hearing Lin Zehao's words, Zhang Shaozu did not hesitate at all. He immediately stood up, poured a cup of tea himself, walked slowly to Lin Zehao, knelt on one knee, offered the tea with both hands, and said seriously: "Boss, please have some tea."
Since his debut, the person Tornado admires the most is Lin Zehao, no doubt about it!
As a low-level gangster who rose to become the boss of the Longcheng Gang, he deeply realized how difficult it is to climb up the ladder.
Therefore, Zhang Shaozu sincerely admires Lin Zehao and worships him from the bottom of his heart!
Lin Zehao took a deep look at Zhang Shaozu, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Today I will accept you into Shenghe's sect, and we will be brothers of the Hong family from now on."
"When the ordination ceremony is held in a few days, you can go through the formal etiquette again."
Zhang Shaozu nodded, with an excited look on his face, and said, "Everything will be arranged by Brother Hao."
As he said that, he took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it, he was stopped by Lin Zehao, who said meaningfully: "I will not allow you to smoke again in the future. Do you listen to the boss's orders?"
Hearing this, Zhang Shaozu was obviously stunned for a moment, looking at the cigarette in his hand with a reluctant expression, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will naturally obey the boss's words unconditionally."
After saying that, he crumpled the cigarette in his hand into a ball and threw it into the trash can beside him.
Although Zhang Shaozu was not clear about Brother Hao's intentions, he firmly believed that his boss was definitely doing it for his own good.
Lin Zehao nodded with satisfaction, took out a bag of candy from his pocket, pushed it in front of Zhang Shaozu, and said, "If you want to smoke in the future, just eat a piece of candy."
"Also, take some time to go to the hospital for a physical check-up, especially check your lungs. If you find any problem, seek treatment as soon as possible."
"I don't want my capable subordinates to be troubled by illness in the future."
Zhang Shaozu nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Hao. I will go there tomorrow."
He also understood that smoking was not a good habit, but he just couldn't make up his mind to quit.
Moreover, it is indeed difficult to quit smoking in the environment of Kowloon Walled City.
Taking advantage of this opportunity given by Brother Hao, I can completely quit nicotine.
At this time, Chen Guoqiang couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hao, you smoke so many cigarettes every day, why don't you go to the hospital for a physical examination?"
"Or, you should smoke less in the future. The brothers below are still counting on you."
Chen Guoqiang always puts the safety of his boss first, even more than his own life.
Lin Zehao explained with a smile: "I have three personal doctors, why should I go to the hospital for a physical examination?"
"Besides, people's physiques are different."
I don’t know if it’s because of his rebirth, but Lin Zehao’s physical fitness has always been far beyond that of ordinary people.
When he was a forty-nine man, even if he got injured accidentally, a wound that would take others a week to heal would only take him three days.
Therefore, even if he smokes frequently, it will not cause any harm to his lungs.
While they were chatting, various dishes that were beautifully shaped and looked very tempting were brought to the table.
One dish after another is dazzling and pleasing to the eye.
Lin Zehao picked up a piece of steamed grouper and put it in his mouth, chewing it gently.
The snow-white fish meat is elastic, has no fishy smell, and has a light sweet taste.
There is also a dish of duck stewed with salted lemon, which is also very special. The flavors of salted lemon and duck are very well combined and the combination complements each other, which is enough to show the chef's good intentions.
Only after seeing their boss picking up his chopsticks did the others pick up their chopsticks and start picking up food.
After eating for a while, Lin Zehao nodded slightly, obviously quite satisfied with the dishes.
He picked up the teacup, rinsed his mouth, and said seriously: "A-Zu, you should develop in Kowloon Walled City for the time being, and move out of the walled city after the inauguration ceremony."
"Also, during this period of time, you should find a way to get rid of the Wang brothers. I really don't like their style of doing things."
Lin Zehao always remembered the incident of instigating Zha Touhui and Taishan to change jobs.
Since the Wang brothers were determined to die, he had no choice but to help them.
Zhang Shaozu kept these words in mind and nodded without hesitation, "Brother Hao, don't worry. I will definitely not let you down."
He was already very happy to be able to take over He Shenghe out of the blue, and now he has the opportunity to work for Brother Hao, he is even more excited!
In Zhang Shaozu's opinion, if he could accomplish this, he would be able to become famous in the future without having to worry about what others say about him.
At this time, Chen Guoqiang put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said, "I have heard of Tornado's name for a long time. I heard that your self-created whirlwind fist is invincible in the city?"
"It just so happens that I have some experience in boxing and kicking. Since we will all be working under Brother Hao in the future, why don't we have some sparring with each other?"
Today, one of Chen Guoqiang's goals in coming here is to test Tornado's skills and see if he is as powerful as the rumors say.
Hearing this, Zhang Shaozu put down the teacup in his hand and nodded, saying, "I have admired the name of Daliqiang for a long time. I heard that you and Axe Jun had a fight before, and it was a draw."
"Unfortunately, I will never have the chance to spar with Axe Jun in this life, but it is definitely a blessing to be able to compete with Da Liqiang, who is as famous as him."
"However, the space in this box is a bit insufficient. Why don't we move to the lobby?"
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Faced with Chen Guoqiang's invitation, Zhang Shaozu naturally would not back down.
Otherwise, after today's events were spread, people in the martial arts world would definitely say that Tornado was absolutely a name in name only and that he didn't even dare to agree to Daliqiang's challenge.
Moreover, everyone worked under Brother Hao, and Zhang Shaozu had just arrived, so he had to make a name for himself and must not let other people in Shenghe look down on him. Chen Guoqiang did not speak, but instead focused his eyes on his boss, with a hint of desire in his eyes.
Zhang Shaozu also looked at him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Lin Zehao also knew that this competition was unavoidable, otherwise both sides would be dissatisfied, which would be unpleasant.
Thinking of this, he stood up, straightened his suit, and said, "Let's go. I also want to see who is better."
"But I have made it clear in advance that no matter what the result is, both sides must not harbor rifts over it, and no one is allowed to spread the news."
"After all, a temporary win or loss doesn't mean anything. You are all my indispensable capable men."
Hearing this, Zhang Shaozu and Chen Guoqiang looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "It's all up to Brother Hao."
Soon, everyone arrived at the hall. With the efforts of the younger brothers, they moved the chairs and benches to the side in a short while, clearing a large space.
Chen Guoqiang and Zhang Shaozu first stood back to back, then took a few steps forward at the same time. When they were ten meters apart, they stopped and turned around at the same time.
Lin Zehao sat in a chair with his arms and legs spread out, smoking a cigar, his eyes constantly moving between the two of them.
He knew Chen Guoqiang's skills, but he had never seen Zhang Shaozu's methods.
Especially the whirlwind fist that was said to be so miraculous, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
The other younger brothers formed a circle, with curiosity in their eyes.
Flip-flops poked the bald guy next to him and asked in a low voice: "Who do you think will win?"
The bald guy said without hesitation, "Of course, the final winner is Zu Ge."
Flip Flops shook his head and said, "I think Brother Qiang has a chance to win. Look at those two waves on his chest. If he were to get hit with a punch, most people would probably fall asleep on the spot."
"Look at Brother Zu again. He is so thin and weak. He doesn't look like a power-type player. If we fight head-on, he will definitely be at a disadvantage."
Regarding Flip-flops' seemingly well-reasoned analysis, the bald guy curled his lips and said, "What do you know? Brother Zu and Brother Qiang both practice Chinese martial arts, not bodybuilding. What's the point of comparing who is bigger?"
"I'm not exaggerating. Don't be fooled by the size of those Mr. Olympia guys. But if Zu Ge punches them, I guarantee that they won't even recognize their own mothers."
"Even if I tell you the secrets of Chinese martial arts, you won't understand."
Flip-flops was not to be outdone and retorted, "I really don't know Chinese martial arts, but Brother Qiang has been through thick and thin with Brother Hao, and he earned the nickname of Daliqiang in the martial arts world, which is definitely not in vain!"
"Do you know what the nickname of the Bull Demon King in Journey to the West is?"
The bald guy asked subconsciously: "What is it?"
"It's the Bull Demon King!" Flip-flops said, and then said, "Since we both have different opinions, why don't we make a bet?"
The bald guy subconsciously looked towards Lin Zehao, shrank his neck, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Brother Hao does not allow his men to gamble, I dare not break the taboo."
Flip Flops waved his hands and said, "Nonsense, of course I wouldn't dare."
"But we don't gamble with paper money, so it's not considered taboo."
"If Brother Qiang wins in the end, you can treat me to a full-service massage."
"On the other hand, if the winner is Brother Zu, I will treat you to a dragon as well. How about that?"
Brothers in the society are not allowed to gamble with real money, but since it is a rule expressly prohibited by Brother Hao, they certainly dare not go against the law.
If it's just a treat, there's no need to make a big deal about it.
"No problem, let's bet."
The bald guy was very confident in Zhang Shaozu, and he nodded in agreement without even hesitation.
At this time, Chen Guoqiang and Zhang Shaozu also began to take their positions.
Chen Guoqiang first showed a starting posture, with hard bridges and hard horses, opening and closing vigorously, looking quite imposing.
Zhang Shaozu held his left fist in front and his right fist behind, with his arms slightly bent and his feet slightly apart. It looked quite strange and was completely different from the common starting positions.
Flip-flops looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell what moves Brother Qiang is using?"
The bald guy has been following Zhang Shaozu for such a long time, so he naturally has some insight. He immediately said, "Brother Qiang practices Hong Quan, which is the most famous Hong Quan, the starting move of the Gongzi Fuhu Quan."
"As for Zu Ge's Whirlwind Fist, it was created by himself. Even if you ask me, I don't understand it."
Hearing this, Flip Flops nodded as if he understood, and asked another very amateurish question: "Which martial art do you think is more powerful, Hong Quan or Tornado Quan?"
The bald guy glanced at him and said, "Do you think this is a Kung Fu movie? There are also Six Meridians Divine Sword and Nine Yang Manual?"
"In traditional Chinese martial arts, there is no such thing as how powerful a martial art is. Just because a boxing style is famous doesn't mean it is invincible. It all depends on who is performing the martial arts. To put it bluntly, it all depends on the person."
"Hung Gar is a large style of boxing, and there are many different schools within it. For someone like me who is not very good at learning the art, I can't understand exactly what school or sect of Hung Gar Brother Qiang is practicing."
Just as the bald guy was about to continue talking, Flip-Flops quickly said, "Look, they're doing it!"
