Chapter 104 The Vice President of the Provincial Association Came to Cause Trouble!
Three days later, in the afternoon, Lu Jingchen was in the training hall on the third floor of the gymnasium, instructing new members of the martial arts association on basic skills.
In the huge training hall, hundreds of students, dressed in uniform training clothes, followed Lu Jingchen's movements, practicing the horse stance move by move.
Although their movements were still quite clumsy, everyone practiced with exceptional seriousness, their eyes filled with longing for traditional martial arts.
Ma Xiaodong stood at the front of the line, pretending to shout slogans:
"Chest out! Head up! Get into a firm stance!"
"To master martial arts, you must first master the horse stance! Hold on! Ten minutes left!"
Shi Lei and Li Mo walked back and forth in the group, correcting everyone's movements.
The entire training hall was filled with a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
Just then, the training hall door was suddenly kicked open.
Several men dressed in black suits with gloomy faces walked in, led by a middle-aged man in his fifties.
He had a beer belly, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and had a sinister look in his eyes, exuding an air of officialdom.
It was Liu Jianguo, the vice president of the provincial martial arts association and Zhang Feng's senior martial brother.
Liu Jianguo led his men into the training hall with an air of nonchalance, glanced around, and a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
He cleared his throat and said loudly in a commanding tone:
"Stop right there! Who gave you permission to practice this nonsense here?"
The students who were practicing their skills stopped abruptly, looking at Liu Jianguo and his group with puzzled expressions.
Ma Xiaodong frowned and walked over:
"Who are you? This is our martial arts association's training hall. What are you doing barging in?"
Liu Jianguo snorted coldly, not taking Ma Xiaodong seriously at all.
He pulled an ID card from his pocket and waved it in front of Ma Xiaodong:
"I am Liu Jianguo, the vice president of the Provincial Wushu Association."
"We received a report that your so-called martial arts association was established without approval and is suspected of illegal teaching and misleading students."
"I now order you to immediately disband the association and cease all teaching activities!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the room.
The students were all talking about it, their faces full of anger.
"What? On what grounds are you disbanding our association?"
"We were approved by the school! How is that illegal?"
"So what if it's the Provincial Wushu Association? What right do they have to interfere in our school's affairs?"
Lu Jingchen slowly turned around, looking at Liu Jianguo with indifferent eyes:
"Provincial Wushu Association? How come I didn't know that? Does the provincial association have the authority to regulate school clubs?"
When Liu Jianguo saw Lu Jingchen, his eyes narrowed instantly, filled with hostility.
He looked Lu Jingchen up and down, and said coldly:
"You're Lu Jingchen?"
"You're the one who injured Zhang Feng, a director of our provincial association, and openly slandered Sanda and Taekwondo?"
Lu Jingchen chuckled and said:
"I hit Zhang Feng, but I didn't slander anyone."
"I'm just stating the facts. Useless things are useless no matter where they are."
Liu Jianguo's face instantly darkened. He pointed at Lu Jingchen and said sternly:
"What a sharp-tongued brat!"
"Let me tell you, Zhang Feng is a key player that our provincial association is focusing on developing. You injured him, which has seriously affected our provincial team's preparations."
"Furthermore, your martial arts association is not registered with the provincial association, making it an illegal organization."
"I am now formally informing you that you are to immediately disband the association and return with me to the provincial association for investigation!"
"Otherwise, I will contact the school and expel you!"
Su Muyue's face turned red with anger, and she couldn't help but speak:
"You're being completely unreasonable!"
"Our association was established with the approval of the school, and all the necessary permits are in order. How can it be illegal?"
"Zhang Feng was the one who came to provoke us first; Lu Jingchen was merely acting in self-defense!"
Liu Jianguo glanced at Su Muyue, a sinister smile appearing on his face:
"Young lady, this is none of your business, so you'd better not interrupt."
"Otherwise, I'll deal with you too."
Lu Jingchen shielded Su Muyue behind him, his eyes coldly fixed on Liu Jianguo:
"How do you want to handle this?"
"I'd like to see what you're capable of, to expel me from school."
Liu Jianguo snorted coldly and waved his hand behind him:
"Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Arrest him and take him back to the provincial association for proper interrogation!"
Before he finished speaking, three tall men walked out from behind Liu Jianguo.
They all had fierce eyes and exuded a tough aura; they were clearly trained fighters.
These three individuals are all top-tier athletes in the provincial team and Liu Jianguo's prized students.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, come with us obediently to avoid suffering."
The man in the lead sneered and reached out to grab Lu Jingchen's arm.
Lu Jingchen dodged to the side, saying indifferently:
"You want to arrest me? The three of you aren't qualified."
The man's expression changed, and he roared:
"court death!"
As he spoke, he threw a punch at Lu Jingchen's face.
His punches were fierce and carried a powerful aura, clearly the result of over a decade of rigorous training.
Lu Jingchen stood still, motionless.
Just as the fist was about to hit him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the other man's wrist.
Then twist it gently.
With a "crack," the other person's arm was instantly twisted into a pretzel.
"ah--!"
The man let out a piercing scream, collapsing to his knees in pain, cold sweat pouring down his face.
Seeing this, the other two men exchanged a glance and rushed forward at the same time.
One kicked at Lu Jingchen's lower body, while the other punched at Lu Jingchen's chest; their coordination was impeccable.
Lu Jingchen sneered and dodged their attacks with ease.
Then he raised his hand and slapped the man on the left across the face.
With a sharp "smack," the man was spun around three times before crashing heavily to the ground, instantly losing consciousness.
Immediately afterwards, he kicked the man on the right in the stomach.
The man flew backward like a tattered sack, crashed into the wall, slid down, and coughed up blood.
In less than ten seconds, all three top experts from the provincial teams were knocked to the ground by Lu Jingchen.
The entire training hall fell silent instantly; everyone was stunned.
Liu Jianguo's face also turned pale. He couldn't believe that his three prized students couldn't even withstand a single move from Lu Jingchen.
Lu Jingchen dusted off his hands and walked step by step toward Liu Jianguo.
His eyes were icy, and his tone was devoid of any warmth:
"Now, do you still want to arrest me?"
Liu Jianguo was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, his legs trembling:
"You...you stay away!"
"I'm the vice president of the provincial martial arts association! If you dare hit me, you're going against the entire provincial association!"
Lu Jingchen chuckled and said:
"So what if we go against the entire provincial association?"
"A useless association like yours that only knows how to fight amongst yourselves and suppress traditional martial arts should be disbanded as soon as possible."
He walked up to Liu Jianguo and looked down at him:
"Let me tell you, Zhang Feng deserved to be beaten."
"And you, don't think I don't know about the shady dealings of your provincial association."
"They embezzled public funds, accepted bribes to manipulate competition rankings, suppressed truly talented traditional martial arts athletes, and promoted their own people."
"Should I recount these things, one by one, in front of everyone?"
Liu Jianguo's face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
He hadn't expected that Lu Jingchen knew about these things.
These are all shady dealings within the provincial association. Once exposed, his tenure as vice president will be over.
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
Liu Jianguo shouted, trying to hide his panic.
Lu Jingchen sneered and said:
"Am I talking nonsense?"
"Should I produce the evidence that you accepted 500,000 yuan from someone and predetermined the championship to Zhang Feng in last year's national competition?"
"And what about the year before last, when you suppressed a traditional martial arts athlete, preventing him from participating in competitions and ultimately forcing him to give up martial arts? Should I mention that too?"
Liu Jianguo's body began to tremble; he knew that what Lu Jingchen said was true.
If these things are exposed, he will not only lose his official position, but may even go to jail.
"What... what exactly do you want?"
Liu Jianguo's voice began to tremble, and his previous arrogance was gone.
Lu Jingchen looked at him and said, word by word:
"First, immediately rescind the decision to dissolve our martial arts association."
"Secondly, publicly apologize to me and all traditional martial arts enthusiasts."
"Third, in the national competition three months from now, no underhanded tactics are allowed. The competition must be fair and just."
"If you agree to these three conditions, I'll pretend today's events never happened."
"If you don't agree, I'll expose all these shady dealings and ruin your reputation."
Liu Jianguo gritted his teeth, staring intently at Lu Jingchen, his eyes filled with resentment.
He knew he had no other choice.
If he doesn't agree, Lu Jingchen will really expose the truth, and then he'll be finished.
"Okay... I promise you."
Liu Jianguo squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, his face filled with resentment.
Lu Jingchen nodded and said:
"very good."
"Remember your promise. If you dare to play any tricks, I'll make you regret ever being born."
After saying that, he didn't look at Liu Jianguo again, but turned to the students and said:
"Alright, that's all. Everyone, continue practicing."
The students erupted in deafening cheers, each one incredibly excited.
"Brother Lu is awesome! So cool!"
"Even the vice president of the provincial association got taken care of by Brother Lu!"
"Following Brother Lu makes me feel so safe!"
Liu Jianguo looked at the cheering students, then at his three apprentices lying on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment.
He gritted his teeth, thinking viciously to himself:
"Lu Jingchen, you just wait!"
"My master is the chief referee of the national tournament. We'll see how you die then!"
"I will make sure you are utterly disgraced in front of the entire nation!"
Liu Jianguo and his men slunk away from the training hall.
Su Muyue walked to Lu Jingchen's side and said with some concern:
"Lu Jingchen, you offended him so badly just now, won't he try anything funny during the national competition?"
Lu Jingchen smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"No matter what tricks he tries, I can handle them."
"Perfect timing, I also want to see just how shady their so-called national tournament really is."
"I will use my strength to crush all their conspiracies and schemes."
Seeing his confident demeanor, Su Muyue's worries instantly lessened considerably.
