Chapter 24 You're in Trouble (Part 1)

"You said you were defeated by a young man?" Ren Donglai looked at Zhao Ge in surprise.

His residence was very close to the boxing club, and he rushed over shortly after receiving the call.

Zhao Ge lowered his head guiltily, "The opponent seems to be practicing traditional martial arts, indeed very impressive, elder brother, you need to be careful."

"Traditional martial arts?" Ren Donglai furrowed his brows, a name surfaced in his mind.

"Wu Li?!" When he entered the boxing club and saw Wu Li on the ring, he instantly recognized him.

"Elder brother, do you know him?" Zhao Ge asked.

Ren Donglai shook his head, "Wasn't there a college student on 'Mo Yin' who was bragging about challenging me? That's him."

Zhao Ge suddenly realized, "The one who fought six people by himself?"

"Right."

"No wonder, he does have some skills."

Although Wu Li was the trending topic on 'Mo Yin' and hot search few days ago, to many people, it was just something they watched and forgot, they could hardly remember what he looked like. Therefore, people in the boxing club didn't recognize him before, nor did they think in that direction, after all, there were many who talked big online. How many dare to really come and challenge in person?

"Master."

"Brother Ren."

"Coach Ren."

As Ren Donglai arrived, people in the club greeted him and made way for him to go to the edge of the ring.

"Master Ren, finally here." Wu Li had a smile on his face when he saw Ren Donglai.

Ren Donglai's face turned sour, "You really have the guts to come here."

Wu Li smiled, "Master Ren is a busy man, I had to visit personally. How about we schedule a time to have a match?"

"What match!"

Before Ren Donglai could speak, five more people entered the boxing club, led by Jia Li, who pointed at Wu Li without any courtesy, "Get down from there!"

Wu Li raised an eyebrow, ignoring the woman, and looked towards Ren Donglai, "What's the matter, Ren Donglai, afraid to fight?"

Seeing this, Jia Li became even more infuriated and shouted, "If you don't come down, I'll call the police and report you for provoking trouble and intentionally injuring someone!"

"Ha?" Wu Li scornfully looked at Jia Li, "I came to your boxing club to exchange martial arts skills. Before going on stage, that Mr. Zhao had me sign a waiver, and I also asked him, if I accidentally injured someone, would I also not be responsible, he said no need; now that I've won, you want to call the police, does Eastward Boxing Club still have any shame?"

With these words, the expressions of everyone present became somewhat embarrassed, especially Zhao Ge standing next to Ren Donglai, who wished he could disappear on the spot.

"Jia Li, this matter…" Ren Donglai frowned towards Jia Li, trying to stop her.

But Zhang, who came with Jia Li, shook his head at Ren Donglai, saying solemnly, "No matter what, you cannot fight him today!"

"I…" Ren Donglai still wanted to say something, but seeing Zhang's stern look, he eventually swallowed his words.

Now that he had embarked on this path, he was even more dependent on the company behind him. He could no longer act as he pleased.

Jia Li stepped past Ren Donglai and spoke to Wu Li, "Exchange? The status of Dong Lai is not something anyone can challenge just because they wish to. If you want to officially challenge him, fine, apply for an official match. As long as it is officially recognized and judged by professionals, then we can fight you."

Wu Li furrowed his brows; he had thought that Ren Donglai wouldn't easily fight with him, but did not expect such a demand from the other side.

Wu Li's behavior of challenging directly was technically illegal, usually, both sides wouldn't call the police, after all, those running boxing clubs also have their pride. Being unable to fight and still calling the police to catch people would sound disgraceful if it got out.

And if one wanted to challenge legally and within rules, they must, as Jia Li had said, apply for an official match, with official recognition, professional judges, and medical staff.

"You really have no shame, when you fought with others before, how come you never mentioned applying for an official match? Now that you encounter someone you can't beat, you want an official match?" Li Ruqi, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly spoke up.

She had witnessed Wu Li's impressive performance from start to finish and had unconsciously begun to lean towards him, and she indeed despised the behavior of Ren Donglai and others.

The Tai Chi 'Master' that Ren Donglai challenged before, including the one practicing Yong Chun from yesterday, both matches weren't official in any strict sense and technically were also illegal brawls, but as the saying goes, 'no plaintiff, no judge.' Plus, since no one got hurt seriously, naturally no police care about such matters. Now that Wu Li wanted to challenge Ren Donglai, Jia Li demanded that he apply for an official match, which Li Ruqi couldn't stand.

"Who are you?" Jia Li frowned at Li Ruqi.

Li Ruqi lifted her chin, "Who I am doesn't concern you, but the way you handle things is disgraceful!"

Jia Li scoffed, not bothered at all; when compared to real money and silver, what did pride count for?

Earlier, when Wu Li beat Zhao Ge, someone had notified Ren Donglai as well as Jia Li. Knowing that Wu Li had easily defeated Zhao Ge, she was determined not to let Ren Donglai fight Wu Li! Thus, on the way here, she had already thought of what to say.

"Enough with the talk, either you leave now and apply for an official match, or I call the police saying someone's causing trouble and injuring people here, letting the police take you away!" Jia Li said sharply.

Wu Li took off his gloves, threw them on the ground, jumped off the ring, and gestured to Li Ruqi not far away, "Let's go."

After all, his goal for the day had been achieved, the video of the challenge had been captured, and he could post it on 'Mo Yin' after some editing; and later, he'd have Li Ruqi report today's events, doubting that Ren Donglai could indefinitely avoid fighting him.

However, just when Wu Li was dressed and ready to leave with Li Ruqi, someone suddenly whispered something to Jia Li and Ren Donglai, and their expressions changed immediately.

"Wait!" Ren Donglai called out to Wu Li and Li Ruqi.

Wu Li turned around, "What now, have you thought it over and decided to fight me?"

Ren Donglai pointed at Li Ruqi, "Did she just take a video?"

Wu Li frowned, "None of your business."

Before Ren Donglai could speak, Jia Li stepped forward, "Our boxing club has rules, no photos or videos allowed, make her delete the video!"

"What did you say?" Li Ruqi became furious, "What right do you have to make me delete the video?!"

Jia Li's voice turned sharp, "This is my boxing club, I say no videos means no videos!"

Li Ruqi's face turned red with anger, about to confront Jia Li, but was held back by Wu Li, who turned to Ren Donglai, "So, you're really throwing all shame to the wind?"

Ren Donglai remained unmoved and waved his hand, the twenty or so people in the boxing club immediately surrounded Wu Li and Li Ruqi.

"Kid, you are definitely not leaving today unless that video is deleted."
