The same routine was performed again, but when the martial artist was about to resolve his attack, Zhou Qi suddenly changed his steps, turned his body, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and then quickly hit upwards with a hook punch.

This change came very suddenly. The martial artist realized that the previous straight punch was just a feint, and hurriedly blocked it with his arm, trying to stop Zhou Qi's uppercut.

Although he blocked the attack, he didn't feel much force. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qi lunged forward and thrust his elbow forward.

With a bang, the martial artist tried to resist but was forced to take three steps back.

"This is an elbow to the heart!" The martial artist looked at Zhou Qi in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, have you learned Bajiquan?"

"No, I just learned a few moves by chance." Zhou Qi replied, and asked the master to teach him the origins of these moves.

These moves were taught to him by Jiang Jun through simple demonstrations.

The martial artist frowned and looked at Zhou Qi and said, "Mr. Zhou, what you demonstrated is not traditional martial arts, but a technique that emphasizes defeating the enemy with one move. For example, if the force of the move just now was a little too strong, it would result in a dislocation at best, or a fracture at worst."

“It looks like military technology, but it’s different.”

The martial artist added: "For example, this move of controlling the opponent with one hand and grabbing the neck can be fatal if used properly."

The implication was obvious, these were all skills for killing people. The martial artist looked at Zhou Qi with a complicated look. Such skills were not something that ordinary people could master.

Zhou Qi smiled calmly: "It seems that the few moves I learned are enough for self-defense."

The martial artist nodded in agreement: "Mr. Zhou is too modest. I can see that you are not proficient in these skills yet, and I believe you don't have many opportunities to use them. But for self-defense, it is indeed sufficient."

Mr. Li, who was watching from the side, applauded and praised: "Xiao Zhou, you are really good at both literature and martial arts!"

"Let's stop here for today. Xiao Zhou, come and sit down." Grandpa Li called.

The martial artist nodded to Mr. Li and Zhou Qi and left.

Zhou Qi put on his coat and sat opposite Mr. Li. Someone brought him hot tea.

Zhou Qi took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Mr. Li.

Mr. Li blew the hot air gently, took a sip, and said to Zhou Qi with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, Guangyu mentioned to me the purpose of your visit to Hong Kong City this time. If you need any help, just let me know."

The Huo family has deep roots in Hong Kong and a complex network of relationships.

As far as Zhou Qi knew, his plan was to take advantage of the Huo family by surprise.

After a brief silence, Zhou Qi said, "Master, my method may not be fair enough, but I think it is the most effective strategy."

Seeing that Mr. Li looked worried, he added: "If this affects the reputation of the Li family, I will handle this matter alone."

Mr. Li interrupted with a wave of his hand: “In this matter, there is no so-called reputation, only right and wrong.

The Huo family was the first to commit an unjust act, threatening the economy of Hong Kong City, which was wrong. After the previous turmoil, they did not repent and instead secretly attacked you, which was even more wrong.

Therefore, whatever means you use to fight back against the Huo family are legitimate and reasonable."

Mentioning the past, Mr. Li's tone became heavy: "Back then, I had some friendship with the Huo family, and Huo Yongnian's father was kind to me.

If possible, I really don't want to be an enemy of the Huo family. But now is not the time to indulge Huo Yongnian to make a bigger mistake.

I didn’t pursue the matter after the last incident because of his father’s kindness. However, Huo Yongnian has shown no remorse, which is really disappointing.”

When he got excited, Mr. Li shook his head and sighed: "Huo Yongnian is hopeless. If he does something wrong, he must bear the consequences.

You can do whatever you want with him, I'll take care of any problems. My old bones still have some weight."

Zhou Qi smiled when he heard this, feeling that although the old man was old, he was still full of blood.

Then, he asked whether the Hong Kong government had conducted any investigation into the previous incident. Mr. Li nodded, then frowned and shook his head:

"There were indeed some moves, but there were almost no substantive discoveries. The other party acted extremely cautiously and left almost no trace. As for the Huo family, there were very few fund transfers before and after the turmoil, which clearly showed that they were well prepared."

After hearing this, Zhou Qi was not surprised.

Many years had passed since this incident, but the outside world still had no idea. This showed the Huo family's foresight. At this moment, he already had an idea of ​​what the Huo family would do next.

From Mr. Li’s words, Zhou Qi could feel the official attitude towards the Huo family.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Old man, based on your understanding of the Huo family, if they are in urgent need of funds, how much can they raise in a short time?"

Mr. Li looked at Zhou Qi, smiled and said, "Xiao Zhou, just go ahead and do it."

Although the words were brief, the two of them understood each other tacitly.

The main purpose of Zhou Qi's visit was to inquire about Mr. Li's position and support in fighting against the Huo family.

After all, the Huo family has deep roots in Hong Kong and may have many secret funding channels.

As far as Zhou Qi knew, the Huo family could quickly obtain a huge loan from the bank without any collateral.

Once the business war breaks out, the more money the Huo family has, the greater his pressure will be.

Li Zihong alone could not suppress the Huo family, but Mr. Li's prestige in Hong Kong could turn the situation around. With Mr. Li's support, Zhou Qi felt more at ease.

Later, Li Zihong returned home early because of Zhou Qi's arrival.

After some pleasantries, the two sat at the tea table, sipping tea and playing chess, chatting about projects, development and future plans. At this time, Li Jiaxin and Liang Ranran also joined in.

Seeing Zhou Qi, the so-called "big bad guy", chatting and laughing with Uncle Li, Liang Ranran's eyes flashed with curiosity. She seemed to want to intervene, but was stopped by Li Jiaxin.

She didn't want her sister to disturb her father and Zhou Qi from discussing business, so she pulled her sister to sit aside and chatted while peeling dried fruits.

Liang Ranran still focused most of her attention on Zhou Qi, her mind full of questions: What was so special about this man that made her sister so infatuated with him?

After careful observation, she found that Zhou Qi not only had outstanding appearance, but also extraordinary temperament, as if he had the aura of a successful person.

However, she reminded herself that one cannot judge a person's value based on appearance alone, as the inner qualities are equally important.

She just couldn't believe that the almost perfect man Li Jiaxin described really existed.

There is no such outstanding man in the world. Most likely, Zhou Qi made up a lie to deceive Li Jiaxin.

As a good sister, she felt it was her responsibility to expose the scam and save her friend from possible harm.

At this time, Li Jianan also returned home.

It was almost time for dinner, and today was Zhou Qi's first day as a guest, so naturally we had to prepare a sumptuous family dinner to welcome him.

If he didn't show up, he would probably not be able to escape the blame, especially since he couldn't get past his younger sister, so he came back early.
