Chapter 44: Warrior's Courage
Zhang Nianzu did not show any panic or anxiety when he heard the news, as if he was already accustomed to this situation. He looked outside and saw someone looking inside stealthily.
Lao Jiang spun his wine glass and said, "Now you have one last choice."
Zhang Nianzu asked: "What choice?"
"Be a waiter here." Lao Jiang said, "After all, this is the 'Peace Hotel' that is well-known in the underworld. Lei Xiaohu also said that his people are not allowed to cause trouble here. Your father didn't say that you are not allowed to be a waiter, right?"
Zhang Nianzu stood up: "That's not the case, but I can't let you down."
"You want to implicate me?" Lao Jiang laughed, "You are quite considerate of others . So what are you going to do?"
Zhang Nianzu moved his hands and feet and said, "Get out!"
Lao Jiang sighed and said, "I don't know whether to say you are brave or stupid. Do you think you can fight better than me?"
"You fight a war of annihilation, I fight a war of breakout. I don't have to defeat 19 people at once."
Lao Jiang said: "You don't know Lei Xiaohu at all. If he wants to stop us, he will never send only 19 people." As he said that, Lao Jiang took off his vest.
Zhang Nianzu wondered, "What are you doing?"
"I'll take you on your way!" Lao Jiang said, "I called you here, so I can't just leave you alone."
Zhang Nianzu said, "Lei Xiaohu stopped provoking you to show his generosity, but he didn't say that he wouldn't punish you if you took the initiative to go against him! Even if you are not afraid, you have to think about Sister Xiaofeng and your seasoning."
"So they can't know it's me." Lao Jiang wrapped the vest he took off over his head, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed...
Zhang Nianzu was speechless: "You are too foolish! A fat guy who is very good at fighting came out of Dick's Bar, and if you cover your head, others will not know it is you?"
Lao Jiang laughed and said, "As long as there is no direct evidence, I will deny it completely !"
Zhang Nianzu wanted to say something, but Chiang Kai-shek patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stop talking nonsense, follow me, and run when you get a chance. Run as far as you can!" After that, he led Zhang Nianzu out of the back door and into a small alley.
In the alley, there were at least thirty or forty of Lei Xiaohu's henchmen sitting or squatting there, some of them holding sticks, some holding machetes, with cigarettes dangling from their mouths, and their expressions were still quite relaxed - because although they knew that the person they wanted to block was inside, no one expected that he would dare to come out so openly.
These people had not reacted when Chiang Kai-shek appeared, but they soon saw Zhang Nianzu behind Chiang Kai-shek - Chiang Kai-shek was too short, and Zhang Nianzu's presence behind him did not affect his face at all.
The thugs stood up together. They all looked at the young man in the middle of the team who was holding a special ebony stick with exquisite patterns on both ends. They seemed to be waiting for him to give the order to charge.
Before the man could say anything, Lao Jiang rushed into the alley like an angry wild boar. He didn't say anything either, but punched the nearest henchman against the wall.
Everyone was in an uproar and then rushed over together.
Lao Jiang dodged a stick coming towards him and knocked down a stick-wielding thug with one punch. He then dodged a knife coming from the side and knocked down a knife-wielding thug with one punch. He took five steps forward and knocked down five thugs. He was like an unreasonable armored vehicle charging on the position, and it was difficult for the enemy's infantry to cause any harm to him.
If they pushed forward further, they would reach the depth of the alley. Just now, Lao Jiang was fighting one-on-one, but now he was surrounded from all sides in an instant. However, he was not panicked at all. He still punched one after another with his fat fists, and dodged the machetes deftly with his small round belly. Occasionally, when he really couldn't avoid it, he would use his shoulders and arms to take a few hits with sticks. The fat man fought in an organized manner and did not play by the rules. Wherever he passed, there was suffering.
At this time, a henchman whose attacking vision was blocked by his accomplice suddenly found an opportunity! His accomplice was shocked and angry, and swung his stick wildly, blocking him and disrupting Chiang's sight and hearing. After Chiang knocked him down, he relaxed his vigilance in this direction for a moment. This henchman was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. At this moment, he knew that his chance to make a name for himself had come - Chiang's side and rear were exposed, and he was completely defenseless against him!
The henchman held the knife flat, pointed the tip of the knife at Chiang's lower back, and stabbed him hard!
Without waiting for Zhang Nianzu to warn him, Lao Jiang, as if he had foresight, lifted up his fat hips, and instead of retreating, he jumped towards the tip of the knife.
The knife did stab Chiang's buttocks, but Chiang's hip pushed the man with the knife away, hitting the wall and bouncing to the ground, instantly losing consciousness. Chiang laughed, pulled the knife off his buttocks, and rushed forward again...
Zhang Nianzu was completely dumbfounded!
Chiang Kai-shek used to say that he was a strong man, that he had warrior blood, and that he single-handedly defeated 19 members of the Black Panther Gang. These were all hearsay and I had never seen them with my own eyes.
Zhang Nianzu often wondered, what if those 19 people were really drunk?
What if they were already too exhausted when they challenged Chiang Kai-shek?
Witnessing Chiang Kai-shek's demeanor at this moment, Zhang Nianzu knew that those possibilities were not true. Chiang Kai-shek's courage was breathtaking!
Moreover, Zhang Nianzu could see that Chiang Kai-shek had never learned anything like kung fu or fighting, and that he relied entirely on his innate awareness when fighting others.
When you punch him, he can instantly determine the weight of your punch, your follow-up moves, and where your weakest point is in this state. If he punches you again in this situation, it will be catastrophic!
The sentence "The strong people are naturally good at fighting" has always lingered in Zhang Nianzu's mind. In the past, he did not believe in "talent". Even if , he certainly could not fight nineteen people at once. Now he realized that it was because his vision was too narrow before. Talent seemed to be something illusory and intangible, but in Chiang Kai-shek or the warriors of the strong people, it was a real hardware!
Mantises and grasshoppers are about the same size, but only mantises prey on grasshoppers because they have a pair of big swords. This is their racial talent!
Lions are not as big as buffaloes, but only lions can prey on buffaloes because lions have sharp teeth and claws. This is their racial talent!
Chiang Kai-shek looks like a little fat man, but he will be fine even if you hit him with a dozen sticks. If he hits you with one blow, you will have to lie on the ground, because his tactical concepts are more advanced than yours, his physical condition is better than yours, and his movements are faster than yours. This is racial talent!
Old Jiang continued to move forward. The young man holding the ebony patterned stick shouted angrily, "Are you deliberately going against Brother Tiger? Do you think I can't recognize you if you have a head wrapped? Jiang Zhicheng!"
Lao Jiang reached out and touched the vest on his head, and after confirming that it was still tightly wrapped, he replied: "I am not!"
Zhang Nianzu judged from the young man's weapon that he was the "Leopard Head Stick Flower" of the Black Panther Gang, meaning the most capable fighter in the gang. From his tone, he should have fought with Chiang Kai-shek before, which means that this man was one of the nineteen from last time.
Chiang himself admitted that the Black Panther Gang's Leopard Head Gang members were indeed very skilled. He was not pretending when he was sent to the hospital last time. He did pass out due to excessive blood loss. The biggest reason for this was that there were 5 Leopard Head Gang members among the 19 people.
It looks like today will be another fierce battle!
