Chapter 141 - What car?

"Do it like that!"

"Now kick higher."

"What did I just tell you? Punch to the center, gather power from your body, not only your arms. Don't roll your shoulders forwards!"

The master student duo had trained for over 5 hours already, Wang Ming's body's covered in sweat, he couldn't even count how many times he had punched and kicked the last hours. Even how much Wang Ming tried to correct on his technique, Jie just wasn't happy with it and always had something to correct. Most people would have complained already, but he knows that Jie just wants him to perfect his technique.

Wang Ming threw a punch again, but this time Jie walked in front of the punch, which scared the crap out of Wang Ming. Luckily, he stopped the punch a mere inch before it had hit his face. "Good! You're still attentive. It's enough for today you can go home, keep practicing, then come back in a month. You're a fast learner disciple you should have noticed yourself how much better your technique is already."

Wang Ming smiled. He couldn't believe how much he had learnt in the 5 hours he had been here. He didn't realize how many details there just to throw an efficient punch. A punch isn't just powered by your arms but your entire body, Jie had told him he needs to recruit power from every single muscle fiber in his body to power his punch. He had gotten better at it already. But to have a perfect connection with your muscles isn't a simple task. Many people practice their entire life and still can't do it.

"Shifu! Let disciple thank you!"

Wang Ming kneeled down to kowtow to Jie. This time he truly meant it. He didn't care earlier if Jie took him in or not, but after seeing how much effort Jie used to teach him, made Wang Ming feel touched. Through their conversations Wang Ming felt like Jie cared for him like how a father would to a son. It felt great. "You stupid disciple, what are you doing? Since I'm your Shifu, it's my responsibility to teach you to the best of my ability. Now stand up before I whip you."

Jie tried to pull Wang Ming up, but his hands trembled just grabbing Wang Ming's shoulders, even though he had accepted a long time ago the state of his body. He couldn't help but sigh at how weak his body truly is. Seeing Jie sigh, Wang Ming stood up. When Jie touched his body, Wang Ming felt once again like ice blocks were touching his arms. "Shifu, what happened to you? Why are your body like that? So cold, just like a corpse?"

"Poison." Wang Ming had never heard about a poison that had an effect like that, but then poison isn't really something he had studied either. Though of course when you learn to cook, especially with herbs, you need to learn about what herbs are edible and which aren't. "Who did it? I got connections with the Wang Gang and even the police, I could get revenge for you Shifu."

"You silly disciple, if I could get revenge so easy I would have done it already. But I didn't expect that you have connections with both the light and dark side of society. I will not tell you what to do, but remember disciple, even if you join the underworld, do nothing that goes against your principles and conscience. That's my only criterion for you, please promise me it."

Wang Ming nodded at Jie. This is one of the reasons he didn't want to join the underworld, he didn't want others to force him doing things he doesn't want to do. Especially when you're in the underworld 9 out of 10 times it ain't good things. He didn't want to kill or hurt good people just to gain money or power. "I promise you, Shifu." Jie slapped Wang Ming's shoulder as hard as he could, which didn't amount too much as Wang Ming barely felt it. "Now leave. Take this book with you, read it, and practice the contents. Follow the book, keep practicing every day I have big hopes for you, boy!"

He barely had time to wear his shirt before Jie had thrown him out of the house, Wang Ming hadn't even taken a shower. Luckily he didn't stink, but it felt uncomfortable walking around sweaty. But even though Jie threw him out, Wang Ming didn't feel bad about it. He truly likes his new master.

Taking out his phone, Wang Ming called Peng Tong, he hadn't talked with him since yesterday. Even though what happened yesterday had made him wary of the Wang Gang, Wang Ming didn't hold anything against his brother, but for Wang Lei. The man gave him sinister vibes.

"Hello, Big Brother do you need anything? How'd it go with sister-in-laws yesterday?" Wang Ming smiled but felt a bit guilty when he heard what Peng Tong said. It seems like he only calls whenever he needs something from him. "It went… fantastic, you won't believe this, but I slept with both of them in the same bed." Wang Ming just wanted to tell Peng Tong what had happened yesterday, but in his ears it just sounded like Wang Ming was bragging, which made Peng Tong jealous. "WHAT!? No way. Big Brother, you're my Big Brother, right?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" Wang Ming didn't know what Peng Tong wanted, but hearing him ask in a meek voice, he knew it wouldn't be something simple. "Please teach me how to woo girls! You've got three while I have none. You have to treat your younger brother better than this!"

"Only this? I'll teach you after we finish the business first."

"Fine, do you want me to finally deal with him? My body's been itching ever since you told me about it!"

"What deal? If you're itchy, then take a bath. I don't want to involve the Wang Gang, but I don't have any subordinates. So I need you to investigate what happened. Did he truly double cross me because of his greed, or is it something more behind it?"

"Boring… But I'll get it done for you. Remember, if you're going to deal with him then send me a message!" Wang Ming didn't know what to say at Peng Tong, suddenly acting like a teenager wanting to fight all the time. But then, he probably just wanted justice for him. "Yes, yes. We'll talk another time then goodbye."

"Wait, did you and sister-in-laws like the car I dropped at your house?" Wang Ming didn't recollect seeing any cars outside his house, did Peng Tong remember wrong?

"What car?"
