181 The Banque (2/2)

After the interview, a political appraisal would be conducted to vet the candidate's family background and examined if the person had taken part in any anti-social, disruptive activities in the past. Xiao Luo would then be called up for the auxiliary police officer training once he passed this political appraisal. This would take at least five days, and would then be followed the final physical test.

Wouldn't it indeed be a form of justice for him to crack down on illegal groups like the Dragon Gang after putting on his police uniform?!

...

...

Maple Leaf Hotel, at night.

It was already eight 0'clock at night when Xiao Luo arrived. He couldn't refuse Chu Yunxiong's kindness and good intentions. Besides, he had five more days to go before he could confirm if he'd been accepted for the auxiliary police officer training. It was not too bad of an idea to call a truce with the Dragon Gang during this time.

”Welcome!”

Wearing scarlet qipaos, several stunning women were in the lobby of the hotel waiting to usher arriving guests; they were a picture of charm and grace. Their gestures, posture, and even how they walked were exquisite and, along with the posh interior, provided the hotel with a more sophisticated and classy ambiance.

”Are you Mr. Xiao Luo?”

Shortly after Xiao Luo walked in and looked around, a slender woman welcomed him with a warm smile as if she was expecting him.

Xiao Luo nodded and answered, ”I am.”

”Mr. Chu has been waiting for you. Please follow me.” The slender woman extended her left hand and led him forward.

Xiao Luo took the elevator and arrived on the third floor, where the slender woman brought him to the front of a wing-room. She opened the door, bowed slightly to Xiao Luo, then turned around and made her way back to the lobby.

”Here comes Luo. Sit!”

Chu Yunxiong was seated comfortably, having a conversation, and drinking tea. He looked a modest and unassuming man. The person he was talking to was none other than Long Sankui, head of the Dragon Gang.

Leng Zuo and Leng You stood respectfully on either side of Chu Yunxiong, while Da Yuan and Leng Bao stationed themselves just behind Long Sankui. The two camps, black and white, were strikingly different yet were drinking tea in harmony. It was quite a rare scene.

”Hello, Mr. Chu!”

Xiao Luo greeted Chu Yunxiong, walked in, and closed the door behind him.

Long Sankui pointed his chubby finger at Xiao Luo and looked over to Chu Yunxiong, said, ”Mr. Chu, this is the rascal you want to protect? Such an effeminate boy would have the guts and ability to chop off my 53 people's hands?

I don't believe it.”

Da Yuan standing behind Long Sankui stared at Xiao Luo with cruel, vicious eyes. He suddenly rushed out like a ferocious beast, striking without warning. Da Yuan moved with incredible speed and dexterity, flowing into his attack with graceful, yet deceptive movements. As he opened up Xiao Luo's defense, his exceedingly flexible body bent into an uncanny arc and delivered a swift kick towards Xiao Luo's face, with deadly force.

Xiao Luo kept his eyes fixed on his opponent and quickly shifted his body to his right, leaning back he shot his hand and struck at Da Yuan's ankle. The seemingly light tap transferred a penetrating force that and made Da Yuan lose balance. Xiao Luo immediately pivoted on his left leg, then snapped his right leg across striking Da Yuan on his arm like an iron whip.

Staggering back several steps, Da Yuan steadied himself against the wall.

The quick exchange left several marks on the wooden floor. A testament to the inner power both opponents had called upon.

”Mr. Long, please control your subordinates. I don't want to leave the floor bloody and disturb Mr. Chu's tranquil mood.” Xiao Luo spoke coldly.

His words passed on a hidden warning to Da Yuan and kept him at bay.

”D*mn rascal, you really know your stuff!”

Long Sankui waved his hand and motioned Da Yuan to step back. He then rolled up his left sleeve and grunted irritably, ”Making Mr. Chu and me wait. Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the stature to be so unrestrained and arrogant in front of me? You were still sucking on your mom's t*ts when I started to make my living!”
