Chapter 723 Kidnapping
In the ring, the probability of having one's eyes blinded by the opponent is too low, but such a low probability thing happened just like that.
Chang Dongsheng's shrill wailing lasted for a long time before it gradually disappeared as the event staff carried him away. Su Yi on the ring had also left long ago -
Why not stay for the New Year?
It can be foreseen that this game will definitely be controversial. The contestants in the ring will actually be blinded. Is such a cruel game really acceptable to the public?
This incident will definitely bring some negative effects to Su Yi, but fortunately, whether it is the event organizer or the media reporters, there are many people who speak for him and resolve the negative impact of public opinion to the greatest extent.
"Too cruel, too cruel, this Geng Liangchen is simply a butcher and a demon! Such a person must be disqualified from the competition, and he must be held accountable and put in jail!"
Of course, these words were said by Ma Liang.
Ma Liang roared, looking very angry, but the other masters were not moved at all.
"Ma Liang, stop making such a fuss." Ma Yingtu was getting more and more fed up with his fellow "fellow villager". "Don't tell me you don't know what Chang Dongsheng was going to do on the stage. He was going to kill people. He deserved this fate! I think blinding his eyes is the least of his problems. He got himself into trouble. Who can he blame?"
"If Geng Liangchen hadn't responded in time, the mess we are facing now would not be the problem of the contestants being blinded, but the fact that the contestants were beaten to death on the stage!" Li Shuwen snorted coldly, "I don't think Geng Liangchen should be blamed for this. He is also a victim!"
"Geng Liangchen blinding Chang Dongsheng's eyes should be an accident," Yang Chengpu also said, "We can all see this, so Old Ma, your apprentice is not right in this matter. If you continue to make trouble and expose the fact that he tried to kill people on the stage, I'm afraid you will get into trouble. Geng Liangchen, the hero of Tianjin, is very popular."
Ma Liang's pupils shrank slightly, and he heard the implicit warning in Yang Chengpu's words.
"What a great hero from Tianjin, haha, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, I, Ma Liang, have nothing to say!" Ma Liang turned around and left after saying a polite remark.
Zhang Ce looked at his back with disgust and said, "This matter is definitely related to him!"
"Don't talk about things without evidence." Gong Baosen said, "Let's stop here. No one should say anything to the outside world after leaving this door."
Gong Baosen's meaning, as well as Zhang Zimin and the Tianjin authorities' meaning, is to minimize the adverse impact of this matter and suppress it.
The first day of the third round is over.
In Group B where Su Yi is located, Su Yi and Ota Tokusaburo both won two games, accumulated two points, and temporarily tied for first place.
Zhu Guofu won one game and lost one game and accumulated one point, and Chang Dongsheng won one game and lost one point, and the two temporarily tied for second place.
Tong Zhongyi and Benny Leonard lost two games and accumulated zero points, ranking last.
Among them, Tong Zhongyi and Chang Dongsheng are unlikely to continue to participate. They can basically announce their withdrawal from the competition. However, because the schedule has been determined long ago, even if they do not go on stage, their matches will still exist, but they will be directly judged as losers.
Benny Leonard lost two games on the first day, which also doomed him to be eliminated, even though two of his remaining three games were against Tong Zhongyi and Chang Dongsheng, and he was destined to score.
Benny Leonard still has a game against Su Yi. Even if he beats Su Yi in this game, he will only score three points and is destined to be eliminated.
Because no matter Su Yi or Ota Tokusaburo, there will be a game in the next three games where the opponent will be directly judged as loser and then score. These two people are destined to have three points in their pockets.
Then the last match between these two people is also destined to produce a winner, who will get at least four points. Benny Leonard only got three points at best after defeating Su Yi, and he has obviously completely lost the hope of winning and qualifying.
As for Zhu Guofu, because he lost a game today, his chances of qualifying are very small, and there is only a theoretical possibility.
If Zhu Guofu wants to qualify, he must win all the next three games, so that he can get four points.
Fortunately, two of his next three games are against Tong Zhongyi and Chang Dongsheng, and he can get two points by winning.
So in fact, he only needs to defeat Ota Tokusaburo in the game tomorrow morning to get four points.
But getting four points is just the beginning, and then Zhu Guofu has to hope that Su Yi loses to Benny Leonard, and then defeats Ota Tokusaburo, and also accumulates four points, so that he can get the qualification to play another play-off with Su Yi to compete for the final winning spot.
In other words, Zhu Guofu's fate is no longer in his own hands. No matter how well he plays next, it depends on the situation of Su Yi.
And will Su Yi lose to Benny Leonard?
The possibility of this kind of capsizing in the gutter is very small, so Zhu Guofu is basically eliminated.
In this way, just after the first day of the game, the qualifying situation of Group B where Su Yi is located has become much clearer than the other two groups.
Among the six players, four have fallen behind, and the winner will be Ota Tokusaburo and Su Yi.
Compared with Group B, the qualifying situation of other groups is still unclear, and everyone has hope.
Because Su Yi is in Group B, the qualifying situation of Group B is also very concerned by the media reporters, and various analyses have been made early, and the results of the analysis are as above.
Now there is such a newspaper analyzing the situation of Group B in front of Tokusaburo Ota, but this newspaper is in Japanese, so the reporter's position is on the side of Tokusaburo Ota, thinking that the result is that Tokusaburo Ota wins all the games and surpasses the hero from Tianjin to qualify.
The reporter of this newspaper is more optimistic than Tokusaburo Ota.
In fact, Tokusaburo Ota thinks that his match against Zhu Guofu tomorrow is a hurdle.
Because if Zhu Guofu wants to keep the last hope, he must defeat Tokusaburo Ota, there is no other choice.
It can be predicted that Zhu Guofu will choose to fight with his back to the wall tomorrow morning.
Tokusaburo Ota watched the two matches between Zhu Guofu and Su Yi and Benny Leonard. To be honest, he felt that his strength was 50-50 with Zhu Guofu.
Who can win depends on who has better luck and who performs better.
Tokusaburo Ota cannot accept this ambiguous future.
Fortunately, he prepared for this situation as soon as the grouping ended yesterday.
"Mr. Ota, Zhu Guofu has three younger brothers, namely Zhu Guolu, Zhu Guoxiang and Zhu Guozhen. These three people are now running a "Martial Arts Society" in Shanghai, teaching Xingyiquan and accepting many students. Zhu Guofu's parents were also taken to Shanghai by the four brothers, and now they live in the public concession in Shanghai."
"Yoshi!" Ota Tokusaburo became excited, "Then please tell Okamoto Ichisuke of the Black Dragon Society to invite his family to visit Hongkou!"
"Hey! Mr. Ota, in this way, Zhu Guofu will definitely compromise, and he will no longer be a threat to you. Your real opponent is only Geng Liangchen."
Ota Tokusaburo's excitement and excitement disappeared immediately.
He frowned and sighed, "Geng Liangchen... This is really a very difficult guy. The method I mentioned before..."
"Mr. Ota, we can't find a chance to poison Geng Liangchen. He doesn't eat anything from the outside world. Moreover, all the food and water entering Geng Mansion are checked by special people every day to prevent others from poisoning. Geng Liangchen is too cautious. We have no way at all."
"Then his family..." Ota Tokusaburo frowned even more.
"We only know that his parents took his sister to Manchuria a few years ago, and then lost contact. I suspect that his family is dead."
"So who does he care about most besides his family?" Ota Tokusaburo asked.
"According to our investigation, there are three people. The first one is Zheng Shanao, who is Geng Liangchen's adoptive father; the second one is Chen Shi, who is Geng Liangchen's senior brother; and the other one is Gong Ruomei, who is the daughter of Gong Baosen. In the past month or so, the people we sent to monitor Geng Mansion saw this woman climbing over the wall to enter Geng Mansion several times, and each time she came out after an hour or two."
"Therefore, we suspect that this woman went to Geng Mansion to have a tryst with Geng Liangchen..."
"Affair?" Ota Tokusaburo interrupted him, "Is this Gong Ruomei a married woman?"
"As far as we know, this woman is engaged."
"Sugaga, she is really a slutty woman..." Ota Tokusaburo smiled obscenely.
But he quickly restrained himself, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "The match between Geng Liangchen and I will start the day after tomorrow! This match must not be lost. I need you to find a way to tie these three people back to me tonight!"
"Mr. Ota, is it too early?"
"No, the sooner the better! This person is well-informed and cautious. I am afraid that if we touch Zhu Guofu's family, he will also be cautious, so the sooner the better!" Ota Tokusaburo looked fierce.
That day.
The alarm in Chen Shi's mansion suddenly sounded, and then there was a mess of gunfire, which frightened Zhao Guohui to tremble.
Chen Shi took out the pistol and grenade given to him by Su Yi, and came to the entrance of the secret passage with Zhao Guohui, ready to evacuate at any time.
But fortunately, the members of the pistol team responsible for protecting him came to report soon.
"Master Chen, two gunmen climbed over the wall, but triggered the alarm, and were surrounded and killed by us. Now they are fine."
"Do you recognize who they are?" Chen Shi asked in a deep voice.
"My subordinate Ah Hu recognized one of them, he is a Zhepeng wanderer from the Japanese concession..."
"It's the Zhepeng people again!" Zhao Guohui was so angry that her teeth itched, "Why are they so lingering?"
Chen Shi's eyes lit up and he sneered: "In the eyes of the Zhepeng people, I am nothing. They deal with me in order to deal with my junior brother. They really treat me as a soft persimmon, again and again..."
"Master Chen, do you want to call Geng Ye to come?"
Chen Shi shook his head: "Junior brother is injured and is still at a critical moment. He can't be distracted. Don't tell him about this. Tell the brothers to work hard these days and be more careful. After this period of time, I will go to discuss with my junior brother."
"Yes, Master Chen!"
Gong Er also encountered what Chen Shi experienced.
It's just that she was not at home at the time, but on the street.
These days, Gong Er has been reading books at home, not paying attention to what is happening outside the window, which makes Lao Jiang very worried. After repeated persuasion, Gong Er agreed to go out for a walk.
Who would have thought that this walk would lead to something bad?
When the two were crossing an alley, they were blocked by a group of people.
There were about ten people in front and behind, and the leaders had guns. As soon as they appeared, they pointed their guns at Gong Er and Lao Jiang.
"Two of you, someone wants to see you. Come with us, okay?" the leader said in half-baked Mandarin.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lao Jiang and Gong Er understood the identity of this person - a Zhe Peng person.
In the Northeast, this kind of Zhe Peng wanderer is too common.
"Who wants to see us? Tell us clearly!" Lao Jiang snorted.
"You will know when you see us!"
The two gunmen took out handcuffs and approached carefully. Gong Er and Lao Jiang did not move rashly. They quickly scanned the surroundings, and then their eyes met and separated.
At the moment when the two Zhe Peng people came up and handcuffed one of their hands respectively, Lao Jiang and Gong Er moved together.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, attacked together to injure people and seize guns, and then used the two Zhe Peng people as human shields to shoot at the remaining people.
Bang bang bang...
Amid the loud gunfire, the Zhe Peng people fought back in panic and fled, but they were no match for Lao Jiang and Gong Er at all. In the end, they left four or five bodies and ran away.
Gong Er was about to chase but was stopped by Lao Jiang.
"Don't chase, girl. Go back to the master immediately. This is strange!" Lao Jiang's face was solemn. "Why did the Zhe Peng people attack us? Are they coming for the master?"
Gong Er said: "What should we do here?"
"Don't worry about it. Someone will take care of it!"
Soon, the two left the place and returned to Zheng's house.
Gong Baosen was not at home, but was dealing with today's disturbance in the Tianjin Martial Arts Museum.
The two could not contact Gong Baosen, so they asked the housekeeper to contact Zheng Shan'ao, hoping that Zheng Shan'ao could find Gong Baosen and tell them about their previous experience.
Gong Baosen did not get along well with the Zhe Peng people in the Northeast. He had intended to move his sect to the Magic City. He was in the Magic City before to investigate the address.
Gong Er and Lao Jiang knew all these things, so when they encountered the attack of the Zhe Peng people, they subconsciously thought that the Zhe Peng people came for this matter and thought that they should tell Gong Baosen about it as soon as possible.
Zheng Shan'ao had been working on the construction site of the martial arts school for a while, so the housekeeper found him right away.
Zheng Shan'ao was shocked to hear that Gong Er had been attacked.
Although Zheng Shan'ao was very busy, he immediately dropped everything he was doing and went to the National Martial Arts Museum with the housekeeper to find Gong Baosen.
The two drove there in a car, but when they passed through a forest, someone suddenly jumped out in front of them and the car hit the person.
The housekeeper who was driving the car braked in a hurry, was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly got out of the car to check.
"Don't get off the car!" Zheng Shan'ao realized that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped the housekeeper.
But it was too late at this moment. More than a dozen gunmen rushed out of the forest, and the black muzzles of their guns were all aimed at the two people in the car.
