Chapter 90 Simulation: Acting Bravely for a Just Cause
After school, Sun Shisheng and Wang Chao planned to practice in the park near Tianxing Lake Community, and then they would go to Tang Zichen's house to train their minds together.
But as soon as they stepped out of the school gate, they were stopped by Cao Jingjing.
"Wait, you two wait a moment."
Wang Chao turned around and saw it was class monitor Cao Jingjing, and asked in surprise, "Monitor, do you need something from us?"
Cao Jingjing stuck out her tongue at Wang Chao and turned to Sun Shisheng, saying, "My dad wants to invite you over to our place, seems like he wants to talk to you guys."
"What does your dad want with us?" Wang Chao asked, puzzled.
"Her father is Cao Yi, the Captain Cao from the police station," Sun Shisheng reminded him. "He probably wants to talk to us about those hooligans."
"I see," Wang Chao realized. Captain Cao practiced Horizontal Training, so if he wanted to meet with them, it likely wasn't about Li Liang or Wang Guang, since that incident was already over.
Cao Jingjing, on the other hand, covered her mouth and widened her eyes in surprise.
"Those gangsters, did they really repent after being taught a lesson by the two of you?"
She had always been skeptical that those hooligans turned a new leaf because of these two, thinking it was just a rumor, a case of misinformation, since she had heard even more outrageous stories.
Moreover, related reports in the news and newspapers accredited the merit to the progress in urban public security, with no trace of Sun Shisheng or Wang Chao.
But from the tone of Sun Shisheng's words, she sensed something amiss.
This was a bit far-fetched.
Two guys, how could they beat so many gangsters?
Cao Jingjing couldn't help but recall what Sun Shisheng had told her about physical and mental training, and how reaching higher levels could lead to transcendence... If these two were really that strong, they wouldn't be far off from the heroes in TV dramas.
"Of course!" Wang Chao wiped his nose. "They were just small fries, not worth mentioning. Tomorrow I'm even going to spar with the nine-stage Muay Thai expert Chan Yinsha!"
"Chan Yinsha?" Cao Jingjing paused, incredulous. "I've heard my dad talk about him. He's a Muay Thai master who can fight ten people at once and is incredibly formidable. Even ordinary special forces soldiers are no match for him."
"Really? I'm getting excited," Wang Chao said impatiently.
"You're going to be beaten badly," Cao Jingjing said with concern. "Now I know why my dad asked me to bring you home, probably to persuade you to give up, so you don't get seriously injured."
Wang Chao just shrugged and didn't say anything else.
Who is stronger and who is weaker will be revealed tomorrow!
Sun Shisheng said, "Wang Chao won't lose. On the contrary, he can gain a wealth of experience in actual combat."
Cao Jingjing found it hard to believe.
Is Wang Chao really that strong?
The three of them walked leisurely past several streets, with the sun nearing its descent. As they passed an alley, a van suddenly burst out from the side of the road.
The van stopped in front of them, the doors opened swiftly, and three masked Great Hans stepped out.
"Why are there three of them?"
"Who cares, just take them all, after all, Cao Yi is a policeman."
The three were about to make their move, but Wang Chao grasped a man's wrist with his left hand and punched out with his right, hitting the man's abdomen.
Bang!
Crack!
A streak of red seeped through the black cloth on the Great Han's face.
This punch, Wang Chao didn't hold back.
No matter the reason, daring to kidnap in broad daylight (it wasn't even dark yet), they were definitely not good people.
"Fuck! You little bastard!"
The other two Great Hans were about to swing their fists, to overpower Wang Chao first.
Then, they truly underestimated Wang Chao's strength; a casual kick sent one Great Han flying, then turning around with another punch, he not only deflected the other man's fist but also hit him hard on the left cheek.
In an instant, all three Great Hans were incapacitated.
"Is this a kidnapping attempt?" As Wang Chao was about to pull the driver out of the van, the Wuling Bread Van immediately started up and drove away. Content presented by MV|LEMP|YR.
"Dare to run?" Wang Chao took a deep breath, held it in his belly, took a large step, and chased after the van, soon vanishing from sight.
Cao Jingjing was dumbfounded.
She hadn't even reacted before Wang Chao had taken down the three Great Hans who had tried to kidnap them.
And what did she see in the end?
Wang Chao was chasing after the van!
His speed was not slower than the van's!
"Is he still human?" Cao Jingjing murmured.
"Of course, he is. It's just that Wang Chao's physical strength and stamina have reached a level incomparable to ordinary people. In the last few days, he's accumulated a lot of combat experience, allowing him to use his strength appropriately to chase after cars, which is not that surprising," Sun Shisheng explained. "In the future, chasing planes won't be a problem."
Cao Jingjing was speechless, but then looked at Sun Shisheng earnestly, "Can you do it too?"
Sun Wukong replied calmly, "Piece of cake. Alright, I'll escort you home. Wang Chao should be able to handle it, after all, with his current physical condition, even if the other side has guns, they can't penetrate his skin."
"Can martial arts really make one Superman?"
Cao Jingjing felt that her worldview might need some adjustment.
Perhaps, she should also train in martial arts.
"Are we not going to do anything about these three men?" Cao Jingjing suddenly looked back at the three Great Hans knocked out by Wang Chao, a bit worried.
"Don't worry, with so many people passing by on the road, someone will call the police," Sun Shisheng said.
"Oh."
Cao Jingjing nodded obediently, but with a sense of incredulity.
Because her father seemed to be the boss of the policemen...
...
Upon arriving at Cao Jingjing's home, the moment Cao Yi opened the door, Jingjing threw herself into his arms, crying like a downpour of pear blossoms and recounted everything that had happened.
"Alright, don't cry, Daddy knows now."
Cao Yi comforted Jingjing a few words, asked her to go to her room to calm down, and then stayed in the living room to keep Sun Shisheng company.
"Thank you, young man, for bringing Jingjing back. Otherwise..."
He could already imagine, had it not been for Sun Shisheng's help, his daughter might have been kidnapped, or even worse, those crazy people might have taken her from him forever.
Those bastards!
It's just that in this position, he was bound to offend people, though he was unclear as to who exactly.
"No need to thank me, as classmates, it's the right thing to do, and besides, Wang Chao has already gone after those bandits, so he must have finished the job by now," Sun Shisheng said with a smile.
"Wang Chao?"
Cao Yi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Where is he? It's too dangerous to go alone. If they have guns..."
He didn't dare to imagine!
Even though firearms were forbidden here, those people might have them, and if Wang Chao were to get hurt or even die because of this, he might be guilt-ridden for a long time.
"Don't worry, nothing happened to Wang Chao."
Sun Shisheng waved his hand casually, "Although he hasn't mastered martial arts to the core, his physique isn't bad, and even if there are guns, they wouldn't be a match for him."
Moreover, Sun Shisheng had a feeling, that gang of bandits didn't have any guns.
Wang Chao had gone to gain some experience.
"Isn't this foolhardy?"
Cao Yi was about to make a call to arrange for his department's people to handle it, but just then, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
He opened the door.
It was Wang Chao!
"You!"
Cao Yi couldn't believe his eyes; the suburbs were more than ten miles away from here. How could this kid have returned so quickly?
Maybe he lost them.
He thought of a more likely reason
. After all, how could he keep up with a car on foot?
"Uncle Cao, hello," Wang Chao gasped for breath and smiled, "Your home is quite hard to find, I had to ask several people along the way before I found out where you and Jingjing live..."
"Right, I've found out where the kidnappers' den is, but I've already taken them down, just send someone to arrest them," Chao said.
Really found it?
Cao Yi asked skeptically about the location, then called his department to send people over, while he stayed at home to entertain Sun Shisheng, Wang Chao, and the others.
"Wang Chao, are you alright?" At this moment, Cao Jingjing walked out of the bedroom, saw Wang Chao, and heaved a sigh of relief while also asking with concern.
"I'm fine!"
Wang Chao flexed his muscles, "I'm in good shape."
"Alright, Jingjing, go to the kitchen and bring out the food I've cooked and also get some juice," Cao Yi instructed.
"Oh."
As Jingjing went into the kitchen, Cao Yi looked seriously at Wang Chao: "The business with you chasing after the kidnappers, that was very dangerous, but since you're alright, I won't harp on it. Just one question I'd like to ask you guys—"
At this point, Cao's expression turned complex, "I heard that you've been challenging various martial arts gyms?"
Wang Chao gave an embarrassed smile and glanced at Sun Shisheng, who was sipping tea and nodded, then said, "Captain Cao, you make it sound so serious, we were... practicing martial arts and making friends."
"Cut the crap," Cao scolded with a smile, "And there's Li Liang and his hooligans, you are asking them to find a place, to open a gym? For you guys, shouldn't studying be the top priority? The college entrance exam is next year."
Sun Shisheng chuckled, "Captain Cao, you know me, a prodigy. The college entrance exam is a piece of cake, and the only reason I stay in school is that my parents want me to make friends and understand some social niceties."
Cao Yi was at a loss for words.
With your martial arts skills, you hardly need to understand social niceties—it's the social niceties that need to understand you.
Wang Chao chimed in: "Captain Cao, as you know, my grades are above average, getting into a university won't be a problem for me, and the purpose of going to university is to get a good job, but I prefer martial arts."
A dedicated kid!
Cao Yi sighed, "Alright then, I won't persuade you anymore. I just heard that tomorrow you're going to compete with Chan Yinsha, is that true?"
Chan Yinsha, not an easy woman to deal with.
Muay Thai expert with grandiose and intricate moves, slim but sturdy as iron, formidable indeed, showing neither restraint nor mercy in her strikes.
If Wang Chao were to compete with her, he might end up bedridden for a while.
"Of course, it's true!"
Wang Chao nodded, but with a bit of confusion, "Captain Cao, how did you know? Is the news really spreading that fast?"
Cao Yi said, "Chan Yinsha and Zhang Tong have some connection..."
