Wu Shouhan and the others were shocked.
An eighth-grade martial artist?
Su Jingxing is an eighth-grade martial artist!?
“Re… repeat yourself.”
Wu Shouhan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He said in a deep voice, “You said that Little Su, Su Jingxing is an eighth-grade martial artist? Are you sure? Are you sure?”
“Well…”
Kong Dabao opened his mouth and came to his senses. With a bitter smile, he said, “I don’t know.”
“What do you mean you don’t know?” Wu Shouhan glared at him.
“I really don’t know.” Kong Dabao took a deep breath as he pointed at Su Jingxing, Feng Tiejian, and the young man who was lying on the ground. He quickly narrated the entire incident.
In the end, he sighed and said, “Regardless of whether he’s in the ninth grade or the eighth grade, Little Su was amazing just now. With just a few punches and kicks, he defeated that guy. Everyone present can be a witness.”
“Yes, I can bear witness.”
“Me too!”
“Old Wu, your crematorium is filled with hidden talents. There’s such a young eighth-grade martial artist, I heard that this little brother isn’t even 16 years old yet?”
“I don’t think he’s in the eighth-grade…”
“Even if he’s not in the eighth-grade, he’s still at the peak of ninth-grade!”
“That’s right!”
…
The surrounding crowd started discussing excitedly.
Wu Shouhan took a few deep breaths as he took them in.
So many people have seen it, which means that this isn’t a prank.
Su Jingxing is really a martial artist!
At this thought, Wu Shouhan calmed himself down and hurried forward on quick steps.
Seeing this, the others hastily followed behind.
“Director, you’re here.”
Su Jingxing, who had just helped Feng Tiejian up, scratched his head in “embarrassment” when he saw Wu Shouhan.
“Mm.”
Wu Shouhan nodded his head and looked at Feng Tiejian who still looked spaced-out. He then glanced at the young man who was being helped up by his family and said seriously, “I have already learned what happened. You don’t need to worry. The crematorium will handle the subsequent matters, so you don’t need to stay here. How about this, come with me to the office first.”
“Okay.” Su Jingxing nodded cooperatively.
Wu Shouhan then pointed at two managers and said coolly, “The two of you stay behind to handle the rest of the matter. Compensate and fine them accordingly. Although we won’t cause trouble, we’re not afraid of trouble!”
“Yes, don’t worry, Director. We know what to do.”
The two managers nodded and walked towards the young man’s group.
Wu Shouhan turned around and led Su Jingxing and Feng Tiejian to his office.
Seeing this, Kong Dabao followed along with the others.
On the way, they bumped into the security team that was rushing over.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We’re late. We overslept with our afternoon nap. We didn’t expect this to happen. By the way, how’s Little Feng?”
The captain of the security team, Old Song, looked at Feng Tiejian with concern.
“I… I’m fine.” Feng Tiejian replied absent-mindedly with his swollen face.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Old Song heaved a sigh of relief. “Since you’re fine, we…”
“All your bonuses for this month are gone.”
Wu Shouhan interrupted expressionlessly.
“Huh?” Old Song was stunned.
“Why, do you have a problem with that?” Wu Shouhan arched an eyebrow.
“No, no.” The corners of Old Song’s eyes twitched. He quickly waved his hand and said, “This was indeed our mistake. We deserve the punishment, we deserve it.”
“Hmph!”
Wu Shouhan sneered coldly. Then he ignored him and left on large strides.
Su Jingxing followed.
Kong Dabao pulled Feng Tiejian behind him.
They left quickly, leaving the security team behind with grim expressions.
Among all crematorium staff, the security team was the most comfortable.
Although most of them were ordinary people, the remaining half were not talented and relied on hard work to reach the ninth-grade.
However, the work they were responsible for was also easy. Daily patrols, and stopping relatives of the deceased from causing trouble.
Because corpses had to be incinerated as soon as possible, in many circumstances, the corpse would have been incinerated into ashes before their loved ones arrived. Some relatives would cause trouble because of this.
These people were basically ordinary people so it was easy for the security team to deal with them.
If it was a martial artist causing trouble, the security team would immediately dissuade them from the side.
After a long time, the security team gradually became lazy. Almost all of them were wily old foxes, and their patrolling figures were rarely seen.
As the director of the crematorium, Wu Shouhan knew the state of the security team. However, he had been enduring and was waiting for an opportunity to tidy the team up.
Today, Feng Tiejian was beaten up. His opportunity was finally here.
Of course, compared to dealing with the security team, Wu Shouhan was more concerned about Su Jingxing’s ability.
In the director’s office.
“Come, Little Su, strike with all your might.”
Wu Shouhan stood beside a measuring machine and gestured for Su Jingxing to punch.
Kong Dabao and the rest stood around waiting anxiously.
Even Feng Tiejian who was applying ointment recovered from his trance.
It was already confirmed that Su Jingxing was a martial artist.
But whether he was in the eighth or ninth-grade was to be deliberated.
For martial artists in the lower ranks the amount of power that one could burst out with without making a move was the key to doing so.
Although Su Jingxing had told him on the way that his internal force still “could not” be exuded externally,
Wu Shouhan insisted on testing it.
Sure, let’s have that.
Su Jingxing controlled himself and started “performing”.
Bang!
He clenched his left hand into a fist and punched the machine.
A string of numbers flashed on the dial.
When the numbers stopped jumping——
2815
Bang!
He clenched his right hand into a fist and landed another punch on the measuring machine.
When the numbers stopped jumping——
2736
“Haha!”
Wu Shouhan, who had been holding it back the whole time, finally couldn’t hold it in any longer when he saw the two statistics. He burst into laughter. “Good, good, very good!”
“That’s right, Little Su, well done!”
“Impressive, almost in the eighth-grade. Little Su, impressive!”
“…”
The others around echoed in agreement.
Kong Dabao and Feng Tiejian were also wide-eyed in disbelief and joy.
This was especially true for Kong Dabao. After recovering from his shock, he came to a sudden realization. “I understand now! I understand now!”
“Did Little Su move out to make it more convenient to practice martial arts?”
“…Yes.” Su Jingxing was grateful for his imagination, even though it was the truth.
But for it to come from Su Jingxing himself and for others to say it, they were two different matters.
Pa!
Upon receiving confirmation, Kong Dabao clapped his hands and became even more excited. “I knew it! Little Su, why would you move out because you’re obsessed with a woman? So it’s because you want to practice martial arts!”
“By the way, Little Su, does your little girlfriend “Wan Rong” have any complaints when you practice martial arts everyday?”
Su Jingxing was speechless.
…
“Alright, everyone calm down.”
Wu Shouhan took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He gestured for everyone to quieten down and said happily, “Everyone has seen Little Su’s strength. I’ve decided to change his position and promote him to the vice-captain of the security team. How is that?”
“Sure.”
“Yes, that’s a good thing.”
“I support this too!”
“…”
Everyone, including Kong Dabao, raised their hands in agreement.
The captain of the security team, Old Song, was not as strong as Su Jingxing.
He was so close to 3,000 catties and the eighth-grade.
Su Jingxing was fully qualified to be the vice-captain.
However, Su Jingxing was a little “hesitant”.
“Well…”
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.” Wu Shouhan smiled encouragingly.
“Ahem, it’s like this.” Su Jingxing smiled in embarrassment. “I have no problem with being the vice-captain. Thank you, director. But, um, can I take on part-time duties with the Corpse Collection Team at the same time?”
“I prefer to head out to the scene and increase…”
“No problem!”
Before Su Jingxing finished his explanation, Wu Shouhan agreed.
“Since you like to go out, why don’t we do this? You can be the vice-captain of all three teams, the Corpse Collection Team, the security team and the transport team at the same time!”
