Chapter 46: Brilliant Victory

  After thinking for more than a day, Jinhu still couldn't come up with a perfect solution. He could only think of occupying an uninhabited small island in the Pacific Ocean and hiring cargo ships to transport goods directly to the island, but this idea still couldn't get around the problem of docks and cranes.

  "Ding ding dong!" A tune played, Jin Hu closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to feel around on his bedside table, grabbed it, and put the phone to his ear: "Who is it?"

  "Brother Tiger! It's me, An Ke! Master Ning has woken up and wants to see you." An Ke said happily.

  Jin Hu listened and opened his eyes, sat up from the bed: "Woke up? How's your condition?" He said, moving towards the bedside.

  "Feeling great! Said he wanted to see you." An Pei said from that side.

  "Alright, I'll go right away." Jin Hu heard this and said a couple of words to An Wei as he prepared to get dressed. He hastily put on his clothes, jumped into the car, and drove off in the direction of An Wei's place.

  He parked the car in front of the house, and Jin Hu opened the door and walked straight into the house. He went upstairs to Ning Guoquan's bedroom, which was open, and An Wei was feeding Ning Guoquan a bowl of white rice porridge.

  Jin Hu walked in with a smile, and Ning Guo put down his bowl and smiled: "Thank you for saving me. Where is the doctor who treated me? Take me to thank him!"

  Jin Hu smiled and said, "I can't take you there! Even if I took you there, others wouldn't see you." After finishing speaking, Jin Hu leaned against the wall, reached out to touch his cigarette, thought for a moment that Ning Guoquan was a sick man, and pulled his hand out of his pocket.

  "That's a personal favor I'll remember you for." Ning Guoquan looked at Jin Hu and said, "I promised to help you with one thing. If I flinch in the face of danger, I wouldn't be considered a man." He then looked at Jin Hu seriously.

  Jin Hu smiled and said, "Forget it, I'm just lending a hand." Although he was smiling on the surface, Jin Hu's heart was actually filled with bitterness. He had traveled far and wide, but still couldn't compare to an old man like Ning Guoquan. Since Ning Guoquan had spoken so frankly, how could Jin Hu possibly say that he wanted him to follow him? After thinking for a moment, Jin Hu said to Ning Guoquan, "Don't think about anything else for now, just focus on recovering from your injuries. Although you look well, don't take it lightly."

  "The doctor's medical skills are great! I'm now fully recovered, and once I've healed, I'll go back to the country to settle scores with Xu Mao. At the same time, I'll also avenge this grudge." Ning Guoquan said to Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu listened to the advice: "You'd better wait, in my opinion, Xu Mao will be back soon. He can't bear to give up that position, and it's even more humiliating to let others take advantage of him for free, becoming a joke in the underworld. If he can't find his way back to this place, he won't be able to mix anymore. It won't take long before he finds someone and kills his way back."

  "He's gathering strength, others won't stop either, it's hard to say in the end" Ning Guoquan said, looking at Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu shook his head, he often thought about some things when he had nothing to do. Suddenly, an idea struck him: "I don't believe it, those two in New York will definitely end up dead with no bodies left!" What strength can they gather? Relying on these little bananas in New York's Chinatown? Jin Hu wasn't underestimating them, but even if you found them, what could you do? Can Xu Mao find these people? This was simply a matter of course. It seemed that Xu Mao would slink away with his tail between his legs this time, and next time he came back, it might be with a thunderous attack.

  "Just wait patiently for a few more months, and watch the good show first. Now if you go back to China, it's also unfamiliar territory, and the danger of being killed is much higher than here." Jin Hu said to Ning Guoquan.

  Ning Guo listened and thought for a moment before nodding at Jin Hu: "Then I'll wait three months. If Xu Mao still doesn't come after three months, I'll go to the mainland to find him."

  Jin Hu listened and said, "Suit yourself, take good care of your injury, I'll go back first." After saying that, he turned to An Pei and said, "Take good care of Master Ning." Looking at An Pei, he nodded slightly as if wanting him to follow himself downstairs. Jin Hu stopped him, "No need to see me off, it's not like I'm a stranger." Only then did he lift his foot and head downstairs.

  As the sound of Jin Hu's car faded away, An Wei turned to Ning Guoquan and asked: "Master Ning! Why didn't you stay? Brother Hu came so quickly, he must have wanted you to stay!"

  Ning Guoquan looked at An Wei and said, "I don't want to mix anymore. After things are settled, I'll find a place to buy a small farm and live out my old age. I appreciate Jin Hu's kindness."

  Looking at An Wei, Ning Guoquan smiled and said: "You want to follow him, I'll give you a suggestion."

  "What's on your mind?" An Wei looked at Ning Guoquan and asked.

  Ning Guoquan said to An Wei, "From now on, when you do things, think about what is beneficial for your brother Hu. Even if it's wrong, he won't blame you. So, don't worry about right or wrong, just have a loyal heart and that's enough."

  An Wei didn't understand and grabbed his head, looking at Ning Guoquan. Ning Guoquan asked An Wei, "What do you think of your Tiger Brother's kung fu?"

  "It's really awesome, no need to say!" An Qi replied without thinking.

  Ning Guoquan looked at An Wei and smiled: "It's not just that he's formidable! I think there are very few people in this world who can retreat unscathed from his hands."

  "Isn't that invincible?" An Pei said with a smile. His own half-master was invincible, and An Pei couldn't help but be delighted. Moreover, it was said by Ning Guoquan himself, which made it even more credible.

  "After thinking about it repeatedly, until I fought with him and exchanged a punch, I finally understood why Xu Mao couldn't recruit him, and Lu Qiye also couldn't recruit him. With the skills in his hands, there's hardly anyone in this world who can see through to his eyes, and it's unknown how he trained."

  Looking at An Wei's happy face, Ning Guoquan sighed inwardly. Not only did he want to live a quiet life, but also, he didn't know what Jin Hu wanted to do. In the past, when following Lu Qi, he knew that the old man wouldn't do anything bad, but now looking at Jin Hu, Ning Guoquan had no idea what he was thinking. From his perspective, just getting to this level of martial arts required a lot of hard work and sweat, and he couldn't help but think that it would take even more perseverance and determination to reach Jin Hu's level. Moreover, Ning Guoquan believed in his master's words: those who can practice martial arts to the highest level are all exceptionally intelligent and talented individuals, requiring great perseverance. This kind of person, if they were to do bad things, wouldn't be comparable to Xu Mao or Lu Qi; what they would do would be something that both heaven and man would condemn. Following him wasn't a good choice.

  Ning Guoquan also knew that he had a good understanding of this kind of person's character. To put it nicely, it's called confidence; to put it badly, it's called arrogance taken to the extreme. Without this confidence or arrogance, one can't reach this level of skill. Another point is stubbornness or bias - to put it nicely, it's called perseverance. This kind of person who combines these two traits cannot tolerate even a hint of betrayal from others. When dealing with traitors, this kind of person's methods are also the most severe. Therefore, Ning Guoquan told An Wei the above words, hoping that An Wei could remember them, and considered it as his return for taking care of An Wei.

  No matter how Ning Guoquan thought, he couldn't guess that Jin Hu's kung fu was obtained effortlessly. He didn't spend much time practicing, and perseverance and determination were not something Jin Hu lacked, but rather, it wasn't necessary for him to experience the dullness and hardship of practicing kung fu. So, Jin Hu's personality was far from being as terrifying as he thought. However, Jin Hu's progress was real, from "you come with a knife, I go with a knife", he slowly learned to think about problems. There was also one thing that Ning Guoquan didn't guess wrong, when dealing with traitors, Jin Hu had never been lenient before, and wouldn't be in the future either.

  Jin Hu couldn't have imagined that Ning Guo didn't want to work for himself, thinking he was too clever and dark. If he knew, Jin Hu would be so angry that he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now Jin Hu is driving a car with a sullen face, and only when he arrived at the factory gate did he suppress his anger.

  Returned to the room, took out the double knives and practiced crazily in the living room of his own room until he was exhausted and put down the knife, then went back to the bathroom to take a bath.

  For the next few days, there were no new tasks for the Knights. Every day, everyone would gather in front of the TV in the activity room, watching special news reports: The bribery and sex scandal of the FBI Deputy Director. This incident caused great enthusiasm among the American people, countless groups and experts jumped out to discuss how to restrict this kind of money-power transaction, and how to better supervise the power not being abused, everyone had a face of justice but didn't know that the person they despised had tried to protect them.

  Numerous reporters on the scene were waiting at the courthouse entrance for the arrival of the former FBI deputy director. Before long, a black Lincoln emerged from afar and the reporters swarmed around it like flies smelling something foul.

  "May I ask if you have anything to say about your wife? Does she know about your private affair with the female inspector?" As soon as the old man got out of the car, countless microphones were thrust in front of him.

  "How long have you been keeping your illicit relationship, and where did the money and goods you gave her come from? Was it from bribes from the underworld? Some people say that you secretly support the mafia, is this true?"

  The old man walked silently into the courtroom, accompanied by two men who fended off a swarm of relentless reporters. Once inside, Jin Hu and several other TV anchors summarized: "Today in court, the former FBI deputy director will pay for his actions." This was followed by several minutes of lively discussion.

  "Did this guy really confess?" Joey asked Evan.

  "Haven't you seen it? I'll show it to you later," Kim said to Joey. Then he turned his head and said to the teammate beside him, "This is our glorious victory!"

  Ivan nodded and said, "It's true! The message from over there is that this time it's not just this person being tried, but also those agents who accepted the mission are permanently kicked out of the FBI. However, on the condition that we do not threaten their personal safety, all files about the Knights Templar are permanently sealed."

  "Wow! That's too awesome, but we've given those FBI guys a show. Bernie let out a strange cry and said: "We're going to have a good drink, a good celebration".

  "Pitiful!" Jin Hu looked at the righteous reporter on TV with a wine glass in hand, and then downed the wine in one gulp. Then he thought to himself, now he had a big tree backing him up.
