“It is all thanks to this man this time!”
After experiencing this mission, the team’s impression of w.a.n.g Yao greatly increased. Some soldiers were even secretly wors.h.i.+pping w.a.n.g Yao. In their eyes, this was a great and mysterious man with amazing skills. Although they had not encountered any armed forces during the mission, they had encountered more than a dozen traps. If those traps had not been discovered and handled by w.a.n.g Yao, they certainly would have had casualties instead of only one soldier with light injuries. Moreover, he had personally taken down and brought back a prisoner, who had been fully armed.
The helicopter took them back to the base in southern Yunnan. The comatose man was placed into custody.
“Welcome back. I’m glad all of you have returned safely,” Mu Chengzhou said with a smile.
“It is all thanks to Dr. w.a.n.g,” Su Zhixing said.
After listening to his full report, Mu Chengzhou said, “This brother-in-law of yours is impressive!”
“To be honest, I was surprised as well. I had not expected him to be that strong,” Su Zhixing said. He had left out some details because it would have sounded too strange and mysterious. “By the way, we need to focus on following up with the other force. We did not find traces of their presence.”
That afternoon, three people arrived at the base. They were from a special state department and had come to learn the details of the mission.
“Did you guys bring along a non-staff member to carry out the mission?” a middle-aged-man in charge asked.
“That is right. He is a doctor,” Mu Chengzhou replied. “He saved several of our wounded soldiers. I was the one who had allowed it. If something were to have gone wrong, I would have been responsible for it.”
“I did not mean that, Captain Mu,” the middle-aged man said. He knew that these soldiers had shed blood and tears to make outstanding contributions to protect the country and their families. He had the utmost respect for these people. “Can I meet him?”
“Yes, but I want to be by the side,” Mu Chengzhou said.
“No problem,” the middle-aged man said.
After meeting w.a.n.g Yao, he thought, He is so young! Can such a young man possibly possess extraordinary medical skills?
“You do not have to be too nervous,” the middle-aged man said. “This is just routine questioning.”
“No problem,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
The middle-aged man thought, This young man has a very special temperament, which makes people feel very comfortable and at ease.
He asked a few simple questions about the mission. Not long after, it was over.
“Thank you so much for your cooperation,” the middle-aged man said.
“No problem, this was something I needed to do,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
After the questioning and investigation ended, the three men did not stay long before leaving. The middle-aged man pulled Mu Chengzhou aside.
“Captain, something is not quite right with that young man,” the middle-aged man said.
“What is not quite right about him?” Mu Chengzhou asked.
“Well, how should I put it?” The middle-aged man was silent a moment before saying, “There is a sense of familiarity as if I had already known him.”
“As if you knew him from before?” Mu Chengzhou asked.
“That’s right,” the middle-aged man said. “I remember it now. It’s the same feeling found with a few Taoist priests.”
“Do you mean to say that he is a man of practice?” Mu Chengzhou asked.
“That is right. He had that other-worldly temperament about him,” the middle-aged man said. “No matter what, he made contributions to this mission. I was just questioning him due to routine protocols. There is nothing else besides that.”
“Who was involved in this incident?” Mu Chengzhou asked.
“Southern Yunnan is a border area, so quite a lot of people have special skills in the deep mountains and wild forests,” the middle-aged man said. “I wonder what they have found and discovered in the deep forest.”
“That is the most important point,” Mu Chengzhou said. “Why did so many people rush in as if they did not want their lives?”
“Perhaps there is treasure in there,” the middle-aged man said.
“Our people have already gone into the forest,” Mu Chengzhou said. “Hopefully, that they can get something from there.”
That night, Mu Chengzhou had prepared a table of wine and dishes to reward the soldiers who had returned safely from the mission. It was also to thank w.a.n.g Yao. All the soldiers who had carried out the mission attended. These soldiers were all straightforward. They did not have much ingenuity.
w.a.n.g Yao was very happy while eating the meal. He drank quite a lot of wine.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, will you teach us kung fu tomorrow?” Mu Chengzhou asked.
“OK, I will give it a try,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“That is settled then,” Mu Chengzhou said. “Here, I will give you a toast.”
After the banquet, Su Zhixing put his arms across w.a.n.g Yao’s shoulder and said, “Brother… Brother-in-law, I think that… you have ability… This kung fu you have got to… teach me first… Give me a personal cla.s.s and a faster starting point!”
“You want to learn it too?” Looking at Su Zhixing, who had obviously drunk too much, w.a.n.g Yao smiled.
“Of course, that is a given,” Su Zhixing said. “I have to learn and be better than them. Otherwise, how can I continue to be their team leader?”
“So, is it just because of that?” w.a.n.g Yao asked. “No problem. As long as you want to learn it, I will teach you.”
“Ah, that is the way,” Su Zhixing said. “We are a family after all. Ah, there is another thing. You can never let Xiaoxue know about the fact that you followed us to carry out a mission. If she were to know about it, she would come over and scratch me!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell Xiaoxue about it,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Mmm, good, very good,” Su Zhixing said.
The next day, w.a.n.g Yao awoke early. He was thinking about what kung fu to teach the soldiers. It was a difficult choice. The method of self-renewing to induce Qi was not suitable for them. It was an intermediate kung fu that required calm, peace, and effort. The ancient boxing method was not suitable for them either because it would take a long time to practice. Only people with a good foundation in kung fu could practice it, and they still had to practice it for a certain amount of time before they could see the effect. After thinking about it, w.a.n.g Yao felt that he could teach them the skill of acupoints.
Hitting acupoints?
Upon hearing what w.a.n.g Yao was going to teach them, Su Zhixing was stunned. He asked, “Is it just like in the movies where people will not be able to move if their acupoints have been hit?”
“It is not that amazing,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “The amount of time I have is too short, so what I can teach is limited. There are many important acupoints in the human body. After these acupoints have been hit, the human body will have a strong response. If you can master it well, it will be easy to defeat the enemy with one hit.”
“Is it so amazing?” Su Zhixing asked.
“Give it a try and you will know,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Let me try,” Su Zhixing said.
“Are you sure? w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Completely and absolutely sure! Come on!” Su Zhixing was prepared and ready.
w.a.n.g Yao gently hit the acupoints in his ribs. Su Zhixing felt a sense of numbness in his abdomen. He bent down unconsciously as he covered his stomach with his hands.
“How do you feel?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Hiss, ah, impressive!” Su Zhixing raised his thumb. He stood up, took a deep breath, and said. “However, in the process of actual combat, almost all soldiers will be wearing bulletproof vests and helmets. Important parts will be protected as well. Your method of attacking may not be practical.”
“That is indeed a problem.” w.a.n.g Yao thought about it carefully for a moment. “What if I teach them how to capture the enemy?”
“Capture the enemy? Are you sure?” Su Zhixing asked. “The essence of capturing the enemy is already incorporated in our army’s fighting skill.”
“It hasn’t changed much, has it?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“It hasn’t changed much indeed,” Su Zhixing replied.
“That’s good. I’ll teach you something different,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Tell me about it first,” Su Zhixing said.
w.a.n.g Yao briefly told him about it. The technique had more skills and power. It could even break bones with bare hands.
“Hmm, it’s indeed quite different,” Su Zhixing said. “This kung fu is powerful!”
“Kung fu is very powerful when it is practiced deeply,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“How far are you in practicing it?” Su Zhixing asked.
“Well, in short, I haven’t practiced it before,” w.a.n.g Yao bluntly said.
“What?” Su Zhixing was stunned. “Are you kidding me?”
“No, I’m telling the truth,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
“You’re teaching us before you’ve practiced and mastered it?” Su Zhixing asked.
“Kung fu, in principle, is the same,” w.a.n.g Yao replied. “I have practiced more difficult boxing techniques, and these technique ones should be easier to master.”
“Well, this shall be it then,” Su Zhixing said. “According to your direction, I have selected a few people who have just carried out a mission together. Do you think they’re suitable?”
“Yes, they’re suitable,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Let’s start.”
During his lesson, he explained a small part of the capture skills recorded in the Quan Jing to the soldiers and demonstrated it once. The movements seemed simple, but they required high levels of skill. w.a.n.g Yao didn’t teach them everything. He just started with the simplest movements.
