fatal blow

"That's fine." Hu Gu beamed with joy, "I'll tell Brother Wei when I get back."

Yuan Jing picked up the glass and took a sip of wine: "...um."

"JING," Hu Bone said to Yuan Jing again: "The dumplings in this restaurant are good, right? Brother Wei checked on purpose, and said that this restaurant in Shandong is the most authentic, and the proprietress is very skilled."

"..."

"Come, come," Hu Gu said again, "You are far away from home, you should eat more authentic food."

"Tiger bones," Yuan Jing said, "I didn't eat two at all. . . . You kept throwing the ones that Wei Cheng brought into my bowl."

"Oh," Hu Bone looked a little embarrassed: "Haha..."

At this time, Yuan Jing was sure that Hu Gu had noticed the things between him and Wei Cheng.But Tiger Bone probably didn't know much, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to match up.

"JING," Hu Bone seemed to suddenly recall something: "You have a lot of supporters now."

Yuan Jing was taken aback: "...It's okay."

Hu Gu pretended to sip his wine and shook his head: "Then you are wrong."

"...?"

Yuan Jing turned his head and thought for a while: "My record is not good, and I am on the verge of being expelled. Why do they support me?"

"Hey..." Hu Gu glanced at Yuan Jing: "You underestimate yourself. The Chinese have always supported you. Besides, your skills and personality are very attractive. And ah..."

"And what? Keep your secrets."

"And you're pretty..."

"...Huh?" The answer was beyond Yuan Jing's expectation.

"Face, figure, all good."

"...Okay." Yuan Jing naturally knew that his appearance was not considered shabby.

"I also saw a set of pornographic photos of you weighing yourself yesterday...haha..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Yuan Jing picked up chopsticks and roasted the meat: "Weighing is not just standing there. How can there be any difference between different people."

"That's not the same..." Tiger Bone said again: "Your muscles... tsk tsk..."

"..."

"Hey." Tiger Bone smiled strangely: "Not bad."

"..."

"There is one, you still have wounds on your body. The bright red streaks make people think about it."

"Come on." Yuan Jing said, "You still like SM? I'm not afraid that Miss Ou will hack you to death."

"Then you can't compare with her, haha."

"Look at your virtue."

Xiaobai and Hugu stayed at Yuan Jing's house until midnight before leaving.The two lay on the sofa playing games, and then lifted Yuan Jing's dumbbells for a long time, and tried other fitness equipment, until an old man downstairs angrily knocked on the door, Xiaobai and Hugu finally gave up .

Early the next morning, as soon as Yuan Jing woke up, Xiaobai and Hugu looked for Yuan Jing again.

"Get up." Tiger Bone said, "Go to the temple."

"..."

"I heard that there is an event."

Yuan Jing said: "You Thais don't celebrate Chinese New Year, so why join in the fun?"

"Why are you so lazy?"

"Okay, okay." Yuan Jing really convinced the tiger bone: "Which temple do you want to go to?"

"I found a Japanese one and it looks good."

"Okay," Yuan Jing said, "I'll check the address later."

——Before meeting Wei Cheng, Yuan Jing had already expected that he would definitely meet Wei Cheng, after all, he had asked Hu Gu to tell him that yesterday.

As soon as Wei Cheng saw Yuan Jing, he stared at Yuan Jing with naked eyes.

In the end, he even shifted his gaze to Yuan Jing's chest.

For some reason, Yuan Jing immediately thought of the "pornographic photos from the weighing" mentioned by Tiger Bone yesterday.

——It’s been a while, Wei Cheng seems to have lost weight.

I don't know if it's because making money is too hard.

Before, Yuan Jing had read in the newspaper that Wei Cheng bought another hotel.

Wei Cheng has long taken a fancy to a luxury hotel owned by a company.Due to the ambitions of its former owner, the hotel's construction has been delayed for a long time, and the hotel has become the most famous unfinished project in California.This is a listed company with A and B shares. Although the B shares account for less than 10% of the company, they have the right to vote against the company.Wei Cheng knew that a man named Kari was also coveting this company. The difference was that Kari was more interested in some old restaurants.So Wei Cheng rushed ahead of Kari and bought 90% of the B shares.But if you want to become the largest shareholder, you must also compete for A shares.However, the B shares already in Wei Cheng's hands are an absolute advantage.Even if the other party wins the battle for A shares and becomes the largest shareholder, the rights are not as expected because they do not have B shares.Wei Cheng initially bought A shares at a price of US$55 per share, while his opponent offered 60.Just when everyone thought it would be a fierce battle, Wei Cheng suddenly found Kari and proposed a new plan: Wei Cheng sold B shares, Kari took all A shares and B shares, and then Wei Cheng paid 3.5 million U.S. dollars , Buy the luxury hotel he fancy. Kari had no choice but to agree, but in order to get the company, she agreed to Wei Cheng's overlord clause and assumed all the previous debts of the hotel.The 3.5 million yuan that Wei Cheng gave was so low that it couldn't be lower, and he easily dumped the arrears to others.Since taking over the company, Kari has invested nearly 9 million, and the decline has already begun. The outside world commented that Wei Cheng was good at calculating and spent all of Kari's money. Declared bankrupt.

Yuan Jing looked at Wei Cheng, and once again felt that the person in front of him was really cold-hearted, making it completely untrustworthy.

At this moment, this cold-hearted person was looking at Yuan Jing happily: "Yuan Jing, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Hmm..." Yuan Jing said, "I heard that you made another windfall recently."

"It's nothing." Wei Cheng said, "It's just a hotel."

Yuan Jing stopped talking.

Wei Cheng looked at Yuan Jing, and suddenly said: "...Yuan Jing, you are still so soft-hearted."

"……I do not have."

Yuan Jing also knew that in business matters, you come and go, just like on the battlefield.

Although Yuan Jing couldn't do it by himself, he couldn't comment on it either.

At least, Wei Cheng seldom does those illegal business anymore, although it's not because of his conscience.

Tiger Bone and Xiaobai brought Yuan Jing here. This is a Japanese temple, which seems to belong to the Pure Land sect.

Yuan Jing didn't recognize the various gods, so naturally he didn't believe in them, so he didn't pay homage to them.

Wei Cheng didn't care.

Even though he didn't know who was being enshrined at all, he walked forward, without even raising his head to take a closer look, he folded his hands seemingly devoutly.

Looking at Wei Cheng, who obviously has no kindness at all, and can directly go to the gods and Buddhas to make wishes for benefits, Yuan Jing really admires his selfishness.

After a while, Wei Cheng came back again.

"Brother Wei," Hu Bone asked without understanding anything, "What did you ask for?"

"Hmm..." Wei Cheng said, "Seeking marriage."

"..."

He said and looked at Yuan Jing: "...you should understand, right?"

Yuan Jing felt the need to reiterate his attitude. Although he hesitated for a moment, he still said, "Wei Cheng, if it is related to me, then your wish may not come true."

Wei Cheng smiled and said, "I know you won't help me, so it's not you I'm begging for."

Yuan Jing wanted to say, you haven't done anything good, of course it won't come true, it's better to give up as soon as possible.

But when he finally said it, Yuan Jing's tone softened: "Wei Cheng...forget it, it's really not possible at all."

Wei Cheng looked at Yuan Jing and said only one word: "No."

Yuan Jing turned his head and stopped looking at Wei Cheng, but heard Wei Cheng say again: "I'm serious this time. No, it's the first time I've been so serious."

Yuan Jing stood and didn't answer.

At this time, Xiaobai stupidly interjected: "There are so many people..."

Yuan Jing smiled and said: "When it comes to the New Year, according to the traditional custom, you have to go to the temple. Thank you for the past year, and pray that everything goes well in the new year, peace and happiness."

Xiaobai looked at Wei Cheng: "Brother Wei, did you do the same?"

"No." Wei Cheng said with a smile: "There is nothing to be grateful for in the past year."

"..."

"I made the worst decision in 30 years."

"...Hey?" Xiaobai asked, "What kind of wrong decision?"

Wei Cheng smiled and said nothing.

……

After returning from the temple, Yuan Jing heard a shocking news.

A player named Owen fell and was seriously injured.

During the competition, in order to arouse the emotions of the audience and create a fanatical atmosphere, the organizer arranged for Owen to descend from the sky like a rock star in the opening ceremony.Unexpectedly, Owen suddenly lost control at an altitude of 15 meters, and fell headlong into the field like a crashed plane, with serious head and neck injuries.The audience immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and the audience was silent.The doctors present gave first aid to Owen, who was then taken to the hospital by ambulance.According to reports, Owen persisted to the operating room and was still breathing before entering. It is certain that he is still alive at the moment, but his life may be taken away at any time.

People were furious, and came out to accuse the current fighting competitions that they had been reduced to "playing around" to satisfy the tastes of low-level audiences. The officials wanted to gain attention and eyeballs, regardless of the safety of the players.For a while, the sport became the target of public criticism again.

Owen's younger brother, Hurt, is also one of the best players. Although he was interviewed, he has been in a trance.

Yuan Jing has always known before that there is an inexplicable kindness and resentment between the two brothers Owen and Hurt, and the fetters and hatred have accompanied them for 15 years.

Originally, Owen and Hurt had a very good relationship, and the two shared a coach and an agent.But there was a rift between the two in a youth team competition 15 years ago.At that time, Owen got a chance to compete with top players, but his younger brother Hurt strongly opposed it, thinking that Owen’s injury had not healed. In the end, the coach gave up the plan and arranged for Hurt to fight. After the game, Owen complained loudly to his younger brother and left angrily. .

Although Hurt is a little younger in age, he has come from behind and is at the height of his power. He is known as the most dazzling new star.Shortly after the two sides broke up, Hurt launched a brother's war against his brother, proposing that whoever wins or loses, the hatred will be wiped out.At this time, Hurt, who was already stronger, lost the game on purpose, but when he was covering his face in pain after being KO, he removed his finger and peeked at his brother.This was caught by the camera, Owen relied on others to give way, and the win was not worthy of the name, and the media reported it, which made Owen feel humiliated and the estrangement between the two sides deepened.

Later, Owen suffered a serious injury and took almost a full year of recuperation before returning to the game.Both of them became the top players at this time, and they met again in a championship match. Hurt told reporters before the game that his brother Owen is a player who has the word "fairness" in his bone marrow, and he will definitely go all out this time.During the game, Owen was locked firmly by Hurt, struggling in great pain. Hurt burst into tears, motioning for his mother who was watching the game from the sidelines to throw out a white towel.The mother, who also couldn't bear to see her child suffer, gave up for Owen.This time, after Owen was "surrendered", he completely turned against his brother.

In the next few years, Owen has been ups and downs.During this period, the reporter took a video of arguing loudly with his younger brother Hurt in the parking lot. Hurt asked Owen to give up fighting, thinking that his brother had been injured several times and should not participate in any competitions at all. After Owen kicked Hurt hard, he turned and left.In the same year, Owen, who was in excellent condition and extremely brave, encountered what was recognized as the "blackest penalty". The championship was stolen, and he quit UFC in a rage and left the United States. Hurt was furious and bombarded UFC. Just when everyone thought he would leave too, Hurt chose to stay. He said that he wanted to get the championship back for his brother.

Owen spent a period of time in Japan that was not successful. He couldn't adapt to the K-1 rules and accidentally injured someone. Owen said that he didn't want to do this, and felt very painful inside.But no one believed him, and Owen became a villain overnight. K-1 couldn't stay any longer, and Owen joined UFC again after the main person in charge of the shady left.

At this time, the younger brother Hurt was already the king here, fulfilling the promise of the year and winning countless championships for his brother. After Owen returned, he quickly stated that he must become the strongest player this time.So he was arranged to appear as a superhero, but unexpectedly, it turned into a tragedy.

Yuan Jing soon went to the hospital to visit Owen.Even though he was not familiar with these two brothers, Yuan Jing also felt the need to do so.

When pushing open the door of the room, Yuan Jing saw Hurt was holding his brother's hand, his eyes were lost, and he murmured.

It's amazing that Yuan Jing understood Hurt's feelings for his brother almost immediately.

Hurt looked up at Yuan Jing who was standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do, and forced a smile: "I know you can see it."

Yuan Jing nodded stiffly.

"It was all my fault, I thought. The more I wanted Owen out, the more I didn't want to see him bleeding, passed out, badly injured, suffocated, or otherwise in terrible pain, the more Owen bounced back."

Yuan Jing didn't know what to say, so he chose to remain silent.

"Why do you care so much about him, but you don't know this person at all?"

"..."

"It seems like once you fall in love, there is no communication. In the end, you don't know where the problem is. You always think that we should be the most compatible, so why don't you understand my thoughts?"

"..."

"If you have such a person by your side, don't take it for granted that you understand her very well. The more you like her, the easier it is for your impression to be wrong. Then there will be cracks, which gradually get out of hand, and we can never get together again."

"..."

At this moment, Yuan Jing couldn't help but wonder if he shouldn't be so eager to push Wei Cheng away.

When we were together before, I didn't know Wei Cheng well, thinking that the other party had the same feelings as me.But it is clear that this idea is very wrong.

Then this time, I am convinced that Wei Cheng's seriousness is still limited, is he wrong again...?

If so, then you are on the old path of Owen and Hurt, who obviously don't know anything, but consciously see clearly, and then pass by like this.

This was the first time Yuan Jing had doubts about her lack of hesitation.

"I've been wondering why Owen and I are not together." Hurt added, "We should be very happy, but we have hurt each other for more than ten years. Now I finally understand this person and know that I was wrong. If one Let Owen do what he wants to do from the beginning, maybe what happened today will not happen at all, and the two of us will not be lost for so long."

Yuan Jing didn't know what to say, so she nodded silently.

A few days later, Yuan Jing saw on the news that Owen had passed the critical period and his life was fine, but he would never be able to step into that octagonal iron cage again.

Hurt posted a letter on his blog one night:

"Dear brother,

As your younger brother, I know that although you are still unconscious, you can hear me.A few days ago, I experienced a mental wandering, and I was terrified all day long, for fear that you would leave me.

We have so many great memories, I don't even know where to start.It is you who make my world beautiful.We have been to many places, and together we have experienced the elegance of distant lands and local residents.We have experienced the sunset in Guam, the grasslands of South Africa, the beautiful Taj Mahal, the tranquil night sky of Hong Kong, and the barrenness of Auschwitz.

Later, there was a gap between us.This is the most painful thing for me.How I wish I could be your protector, watch over you carefully.Why didn't I go to the gym in Las Vegas last Sunday?I have told myself countless times that you did not protect your most important brother, and this will be your eternal shame.

We all work in martial arts, and the most painful part of this profession is the loneliness that cannot be avoided all the time.But luckily we still have each other.You and I both know what a sad song we hummed at some point.

I will not leave this octagonal iron cage, I will continue with your dream and give you countless belts as gifts.

At the same time, I will always accompany you and take care of you until the end of my life.

your dear brother. ,"

——Yuan Jing looked at it and felt very uncomfortable.

He could feel that kind of regret—the regret of being in love but missing it, and the regret of hurting the other party because of himself.

This made Yuan Jing a little at a loss.

I don't know why, but Yuan Jing goes to Hurt's blog every day to have a look.

Then, a month later, under that blog post, a new message appeared.

It's more than three weeks away from the previous review, which seems a bit out of place.

It's a guy named "FightOn": "The estrangement is because he doesn't want to wait for you at home every day. He wants to be as dazzling as you."

……

——This incident brought a big shock to Yuan Jing.

To Wei Cheng, it seems that he is not as resistant as before.

In this way, it immediately became a lot easier.

……

After a period of time, Yuan Jing played a few more games, his record gradually increased, and his winning percentage was finally no longer so embarrassing.

The other contestants also got to know this foreign contestant who is only 178 centimeters again, and they dare not underestimate Yuan Jing any more.

However, this calm day was finally broken before a game.

That night, Yuan Jing came out of the house and saw two black men robbing an Asian girl.The girl looks very small, she should be studying at a school a few streets away.

Seeing that the girl couldn't bring out anything, the black man became furious and wanted to punch her. Yuan Jing strode over without thinking.

The law and order in this area is indeed not good. Almost no one goes out after dark. This is a lone girl who probably just came here not long ago.

Some black people need money to buy drugs, and if they don't get it, they will often hurt each other to vent their anger.

Yuan Jing walked over and pulled the girl behind her: "She is just a poor student, and her pockets may be even more empty than yours."

One of the black men stared at Yuan Jing and said very fast, "Get out, mind your own business."

Yuan Jing stood there without moving.

In the next second, another black man moved his hand.

But Yuan Jing still has absolute confidence in this level of street fighting.

With an enziguiri kick, he accurately hit the back of the opponent's head, and the opponent fell to his knees immediately.

After that, Yuan Jing slammed another person's right cheek in a circle, and then made several consecutive uppercuts, hitting that person staggeringly as well.

Just when Yuan Jing thought this was just a small episode tonight, she heard the sound of a police car clearly in her ears.

Knowing that such a coincidence was unlikely, Yuan Jing looked at the girl who had been standing behind him before.

Sure enough, she called the police.

Just call the police, and teach those two a lesson.

However, what he didn't expect at all was that after the two policemen got out of the car, the girl said clearly: "That Asian man over there wants me to go home with him. If I don't agree, he will force you , and wounded two black men who passed by to save them.”

At that time Yuan Jing couldn't believe his ears.

"Mr. Police." The black man also said, "When we passed by, we saw him pulling the lady's wrist, and we tried to stop him. But he obviously didn't give up because he was capable."

"...They turned black and white," Yuan Jing tried to keep calm: "I came to rescue because I saw someone robbing, and I wasn't the one who did it first!"

The two policemen obviously didn't quite believe Yuan Jing: "Save the argument for later, let's go to the police station now."

At this point, no matter how stupid people are, they will understand that they have been calculated.

But who it is, Yuan Jing has no idea.

His intuition told him that it might be related to tomorrow's game.

The opponent in tomorrow's game had lost two games in a row before. If he loses again this time, he will almost be terminated from the contract.

The way the UFC operates is basically a patriarchal system, with one person in charge having the final say.Overlord has a lot of clauses, restricting players to develop in other leagues.The salaries vary enormously. Unknown people like Yuan Jing can barely make ends meet.Which two people the audience wants to watch can be arranged immediately. I don’t want boxing to have a strict operating system, and it is often impossible to form the matchup that the audience wants to watch. When such a pairing finally appears, one of them is usually past the peak Expect.

In this case, people who are considered undeveloped can easily be kicked out.It is precisely because of this mechanism that there are many people who think of crooked ways in order to win.

If Yuan Jing was arrested today and could not compete tomorrow, the opponent would automatically win without any further contests.

On the surface, this possibility is extremely high.

But Yuan Jing was not sure.

He doesn't seem to have any enemies, but if he is involved with Wei Cheng, it will be unclear.

Seeing that the police were waiting for him, Yuan Jing sighed and stood obediently. He was handcuffed and escorted into the police car.
