Chapter 132: Kung Fu Frenzy

  After discovering that someone was following him, Tang Xiaosheng quickened his pace. When he reached a fork in the alleyway, he turned into the small lane on the left and then stopped moving, waiting for the person tailing him to appear.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a moment later, a hurried footsteps sound came, followed by a strange man appearing in sight. The man was twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing a blue casual suit, with slightly dark skin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and holding a camera in his hand.

  At this point, Tang Xiaosheng understood the identity of the man - paparazzi.

  "Hey big brother, don't follow us, there's nothing worth taking pictures of." Tang Xiaosheng stepped forward and said to the man.

  The man didn't say anything, he just turned his face aside.

  He didn't speak, and Tang Xiaosheng didn't bother him anymore. He continued to hold little Huang Rong and walk towards the alleyway. As a result, before they had taken a few steps, he found that this paparazzo was following them again.

  Tang Xiaosheng had originally planned to stop and chat with the paparazzi, but after careful consideration, he thought that they were also trying to make a living, and it was just taking a few photos, so he decided not to bother with them and quickly walked towards the alley entrance.

  "Dad, I know why he's following us." Just then, Little Huang Rong pointed at the paparazzi behind them with her small hand in her father's bosom.

  Tang Xiaosheng was somewhat curious: "Why?"

  "Because Daddy is very handsome and I am very cute, he wants to see."

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled, this little girl learns things quickly, and she can apply what she has learned immediately.

  "Dad, I'm thirsty and want some milk."

  "Okay, I'll buy it for you in a moment."

  A moment later, Tang Xiaosheng left the alleyway. At this time, he unexpectedly found that the paparazzi who had been following him from behind seemed to have disappeared. However, he didn't think much about it and walked a few steps to the right, coming to a small grocery store to buy a bottle of yogurt for Little Huang Rong.

  As soon as I entered the small shop, I saw a 21-inch color TV set in the corner of the wall, playing the Tang Xiaosheng version of "The Legend of the Condor Hero", and it was just showing the scene where Guo Jing was practicing martial arts.

  The owner of the small restaurant was a middle-aged man, who was lying on a rocking chair, staring intently at the TV, his hands mimicking Guo Jing's movements on screen.

  Tang Xiaosheng had previously learned from media reports that many citizens, after watching "The Legend of the Condor Hero", began to imitate the martial arts moves in the play. He originally thought this was an exaggeration by the media, but now seeing the actions of this miscellaneous food store owner, he realized it was true.

  "Boss, I want a bottle of milk." Tang Xiaosheng called out.

  Unexpectedly, the boss seemed to be too engrossed in watching TV, as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued to mimic the actions on TV with his hands, constantly gesturing in front of his chest.

  "Boss, I want a bottle of milk!!" Tang Xiaosheng raised his voice.

  "Oh, here it comes." At this time, the owner of the small shop finally came to his senses, got up from the rocking chair, walked to the shelf to help pick up milk, but he was still gesturing non-stop with the moves he learned from TV dramas, a bit possessed.

  A moment later, the owner of the small shop walked over with milk, just about to hand it over, but inadvertently saw Tang Xiaosheng. He was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Guo Jing on the TV, and then looked back at Tang Xiaosheng in front of him, stunned for a while, with an extremely surprised expression: "You... aren't you the actor who played Guo Jing? What's your name again, Tang... Tang Xiaosheng! Is that you?"

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I am Tang Xiaosheng."

  "It's really you!" The boss of the small shop said excitedly, "Many people say that you have real kung fu skills! These past few days, I've been watching your performance in 'The Legend of Heroic Archer' and learning from it!"

  The boss of the small shop waved his hands "swish swish brush", and scribbled a few strokes.

  After watching his moves, Tang Xiaosheng knew that the old boss of the small shop should have really learned kung fu from the TV series "The Legend of Arching Hero". Because he just showed these few moves, although the movements were a bit uncoordinated, they were indeed based on the martial arts principles of "Nine Yin Scripture" compiled.

  Tang Xiaosheng originally arranged these martial arts moves in the TV series just to find the traverser, but unexpectedly, it inadvertently triggered a wave of kung fu fever. With the broadcast of "The Legend of Arching Hero", the popularity of "Nine Yin Scripture" seems to be still quite high.

  After paying for the milk, Tang Xiaosheng carried Little Huang Rong out of the small shop and was about to head to kindergarten. Just then, a man suddenly ran out from the alleyway next to the shop with a greyish complexion.

  Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the man was actually a paparazzo who had been tailing him earlier. What's strange is that this paparazzo was covered in mud all over his body, as if he had taken a tumble. Even stranger is that at this moment, his nose and face were swollen, and the lenses of his black-framed glasses were shattered, as if he had just been beaten up badly.

  "Wait!"

  Tang Xiaosheng felt that something was wrong, so he stopped him and asked, "How did you become like this? Weren't you fine just now? Were you beaten by someone?"

  As soon as he saw Tang Xiaosheng, the paparazzo's face turned pale with fright and showed a timid expression. He apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang. I won't follow you again in the future.

  After finishing speaking, she slightly bowed and then turned around and ran away, seemingly very afraid.

  Tang Xiaosheng was also confused at this point. This paparazzo reporter had obviously been beaten, and the reason for being beaten should be because he followed Tang Xiaosheng.

  "Who beat up this reporter?"

  Tang Xiaosheng's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, unable to think of a reason. To get to the bottom of it, he quickly walked into the alleyway. The paparazzi reporter was beaten probably just two or three minutes ago, and the person who beat him should not have gone far yet.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after walking more than 300 meters into the alley, I found that there were five young men slowly leaving ahead.

  "Halt!"

  Tang Xiaosheng shouted, and the five young men immediately stopped in their tracks and slowly turned around. The five men were not very old, all around twenty years old. Among them, the man standing in the center of the five was the most eye-catching, because his figure was a big circle fatter than the other four.

  When he saw the fat man, Tang Xiaosheng felt that he was a bit familiar. After careful consideration, he finally recognized him. It turned out that this man was one of the five kidnappers in the Nanfeng Mountain kidnapping case - Big Face Cat.

  Last year, Guo Xiang was kidnapped by five kidnappers to Nanfeng Mountain. At that time, the five kidnappers wore a cartoon mask on their faces to avoid exposing their true identities, which were: Laughing Tiger, Grey Wolf, Happy Sheep, Mickey Mouse and Big Face Cat.

  And the fat man in front of him was none other than Dà Liǎo Māo, one of the five kidnappers.

  The Nanfeng Mountain kidnapping case was tried six months ago, Hu Dajiang was sentenced to six years in prison as the principal offender, Huitailang, Xiyangyang and Miao Laoshu were sentenced to one to three years in prison as accomplices. The lightest sentence was given to Dalian Mao, who was only sentenced to six months.

  Because in the Nan Feng Shan kidnapping case, Big Face Cat was knocked unconscious by Tang Xiao Sheng using "Lan Hua Fu Xue Shou" and remained in a coma throughout the entire process, not participating in the kidnapping of Guo Xiang. The crime was therefore the lightest. Just three months ago, Big Face Cat was released from prison.

  Tang Xiaosheng walked up quickly and looked at Dalian Mao, saying: "I didn't expect you to get out of prison so soon."

  The big-faced cat nodded silently.

  Tang Xiaosheng didn't chat much either and directly asked: "Just now, did you guys beat up a reporter?"

  The big-faced cat seemed to be the leader of the five people and replied: "Yes."

  Tang Xiaosheng calmly asked: "Why beat him?"

  Fat Cat hesitated for a moment and said: "He followed you, so we beat him."

  Tang Xiaosheng continued to ask: "Who made you guys do this?"

  The big-faced cat fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice: "I can't say."

  Although Tang Xiaosheng knew that Da Lian Mao was helping him this time, he still had to figure out the whole story, so he threatened: "If you don't say anything, I'll report it to the police immediately."

  As soon as the alarm sounded, Da Lian's face changed slightly in surprise. He had just been released from prison not long ago and didn't want to go back so quickly. After a moment of thought, he finally said, "It was Qiang Ge who told me to do this."

  "Qiang Ge? Hu Da Qiang?"

  "Right."

  Last year, when in detention, Hu Dajiang had thought of escaping to raise medical expenses for his father, but was stopped by Tang Xiaosheng. Later, after Tang Xiaosheng was released from prison, he helped Hu Dajiang's father raise nearly 200,000 yuan through a fan signing event, solving the problem of medical expenses.

  Hu Dajiang learned about all this in prison, so he instructed the first to be released, Da Lian Mao, that if Tang Xiaosheng encountered any difficulties, they should try their best to help.

  Just then, Big Face Cat discovered a paparazzo had been following Tang Xiaosheng and dragged the reporter to a corner of the alleyway, where he gave him a good beating.

  Having heard this, Tang Xiaosheng seemed to have understood the situation. He hadn't expected Hu Dajiang to be so righteous. After a pause, he said: "I appreciate your kind intentions and thank you very much. However, I can handle my own affairs myself, so there's no need for you all to trouble yourselves."

  "Got it, Brother Tang!" At this time, Big Face Cat responded. As soon as he finished speaking, the other four men also responded: "Got it, Brother Tang!"

  "You can just call me Tang Xiaosheng or Little Tang." Tang Xiaosheng hastily explained. He knew that the people in front of him were all small-time hooligans, and calling them brothers would make it seem like he was involved with the underworld, which wouldn't be good for his image. After all, he was now a public figure, so he had to be careful about his relationships.

  "Now that everything is clear, Tang Xiaosheng said: 'Alright, it's nothing. You can go now!'"

  Five little rascals left together. When they walked out of the alley, one of them asked Big Face Cat with envy: "Brother Cat, do you know Tang Xiaosheng?"

  "Of course I know him! Last year, I even had a fight with Tang Xiaosheng on Nanfeng Mountain!"

  "Did you win or lose?"

  "Isn't this a joke? Even Gang Brother can't beat him, how can I?"

  "I saw in the news reports that Tong Xiaosheng's kung fu is real kung fu, I've been studying his martial arts scenes in 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' for several days and learned a few moves."

  "What a coincidence! I've been studying it for the past few days too. I especially love the fist techniques at the beginning of "The Legend of Condor Hero" episode 18, so cool!"

  "Oh, I have some impression. However, I still think that flying kick in episode 27 is more practical!"

  "Really? Let's have a try then."
