Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 57 Theoretical Opportunities
What era is this? You still have to make a starting stance before taking action. It's simply embarrassing for a martial artist.

But when Old Man Chen pulled out the gun in starting position, Gao Yi just wanted to say 666.

Raise your hands, stand up, step back, be frank, and say what you need to say.

"Master, it's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding!"

Gao Yi took two steps back, without raising his hands above his head, but with his palms facing outwards towards Old Man Chen, he said sincerely: "We all practice Xingyi, I am a boxer by training, not a killer, so I was sent here to learn a few moves from you, I'm not looking for trouble, let alone challenging you."

After retreating five steps, Gao Yi stopped and said, "How about I practice a few moves on you?"

Old man Chen said gloomily: "You are playing this in front of me, and you still..."

Gao Yi slowly and at an extremely slow speed made a starting posture, then he turned extremely slowly, smashed down with his right hand in slow motion, and punched out with his left fist.

In just one move, he started with the armor and then the black cannon hammer, but there was no stepping step. This set of combos should be done by moving forward with footwork, but Gao Yi was afraid that he would be hit by a bullet as soon as he moved forward, so he didn't dare to move.

It is the next move that Old Man Chen should have done just now but didn't. It is the stance used in practicing boxing, commonly known as a routine, but it is not used when really fighting.

But Old Man Chen knew what was going on as soon as he saw it.

As expected, Old Man Chen's eyes widened. He then stared at Gao Yi in a daze and said, "The fist is like a cannon-shaped dragon wrapped around the body..."

Gao Yi immediately responded: "Meeting the enemy is like being on fire!"

Old man Chen put away his gun and said with a look of doubt: "Hit the hips and hit the yin and yang left and right!"

"Let nature take its course when exchanging feet."

"Left and right, advance with sword power!"

"When you are at ease, the enemy will overthrow you."

Old man Chen flipped his right hand and hid the pistol back to his waist without leaving a trace. Then he stared at Gao Yi and asked, "Where did you learn this boxing song?"

"It's a family heirloom!"

"Family heirloom? What's your last name?"

"High! High and low."

"hiss……"

Old Man Chen took a deep breath, and then he said in extreme astonishment: "You, you, your family passed it down? Then what's your father's name? No, what's your grandfather's name?"

"Gao Yingshan."

Old man Chen stared at Gao Yi blankly with his eyes wide open, and suddenly said, "Oh my God, this, this, what is your great grandfather's name?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment, and after recalling a little, he said, "Gao Shunquan."

Old man Chen slammed his hands together and shouted, "Oh, for the sake of ancestors, you are my nephew."

I knew they were related, but I didn't expect them to be so close. Gao Yi couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "Ah?"

Old man Chen said excitedly: "Wait a minute, don't leave!"

Gao Yi stood there, and Old Man Chen hurriedly ran past him, but soon, Old Man Chen came in again with a thin booklet.

"Look, look!"

Old man Chen opened the notebook and pulled it open, revealing a long piece of rice paper. The color of the paper had turned slightly yellow, and on it was written with a brush a genealogical chart that looked like a family tree.

Old man Chen pointed at a name and said excitedly: "Look, your great grandfather Gao Shunquan, your grandfather Gao Yingshan, this way, this way."

Old man Chen pointed to a name called Kang Yun and said excitedly: "My master is Kang Yun, my master is Liu Jitang, my name is here, my name is Chen Guangxin, we are from the same lineage but two branches!"

Gao Yi was a little surprised, but actually not too surprised.

There are only a few people who practice Xingyiquan, and those who come from famous families and have received the true teachings are even fewer. If you follow the lineage of your master, you will all become fellow disciples in the end.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you are a true successor. If you watch a video on the Internet and practice by yourself, you will definitely not be able to get to the root of the art.

There is no inheritance under Gao Yingshan's name, and there is no inheritance under Chen Guangxin's name.

Gao Yi's great-grandfather and Chen Guangxin's master had the same master. Although they were thousands of miles apart, if you really talk about their background, they were indeed brothers.

According to the generation sequence, Chen Guangxin and Gao Yi's father are from the same generation.

Gao Yi immediately said: "Uncle Master!"

Chen Guangxin sighed deeply, and said with great emotion: "I never thought that I would meet a nephew here. We are actually from the same school. You..."

After discussing the friendship, Chen Guangxin looked at Gao Yi and asked in confusion, "Why did you become a killer?"

"I... uh, coincidence."

Chen Guangxin's face turned serious, and he said, "If it were someone else, I would definitely not mention it, but since you are really my nephew, then I have to say something. What's the matter? Did you encounter any difficulties that forced you to do this job?"

Gao Yi looked embarrassed and whispered, "I don't know how to put it, but I did encounter a great adversity and finally had no choice but to enter this industry."

Although it was their first meeting, Chen Guangxin was indeed concerned about Gao Yi at the moment. He looked at Gao Yi, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "My nephew, let's not talk about the relationship first, I just want to ask you... can you get away?" Gao Yi thought about it and said: "Yes, I think I can."

Chen Guangxin whispered, "My master was a member of the Military Control Commission, but he was defeated and retreated to the island. He retired in 60. He has no children, and my parents are both dead. Seeing that I was helpless, he took me in as his apprentice. I was thirteen years old that year."

Looking at Gao Yi, Chen Guangxin continued, "My master has been a special agent for twenty years and trained under the Americans for several years. He has been doing assassinations all the time, so these are what he taught me. In 1970, I went to Southeast Asia and worked hard for more than ten years. In the end, I had nothing and smuggled to the UK. I really had no choice but to rely on my fists to make a living, but..."

Chen Guangxin took out his pistol again and whispered, "But in this day and age, we still have to rely on this! Who would fight you with fists or knives now?"

Gao Yi felt the same way. He nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

Chen Guangxin sighed, put away his gun, and said, "We are from the same sect. I am a generation older than you, so I can only say something based on my seniority. You...don't let others sell you out without knowing it!"

Now Gao Yi is truly grateful to Chen Guangxin.

Chen Guangxin continued, "I'm a killer. I don't know what else I can do. But it's a different era now. If you can find a job, you won't be a killer!"

Gao Yi whispered: "Thank you, Uncle Master, I..."

Chen Guangxin interrupted Gao Yi and whispered, "Especially the foreigner, you can't trust him easily! It's true that he likes your skills, but think about it, even if you can succeed, can you run away? I have suffered too much from foreigners. The foreigner who sent you here is just a middleman. These people are just using you as consumables. Do you know what consumables mean? Do you know how many students they sent me? How many of them are still alive now?"

Chen Guangxin meant well, and Gao Yi could feel it.

But what can Gao Yi say now? He says he quits, but that's impossible.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi whispered: "Uncle Master, I know what consumables mean, and I also know that foreigners cannot be trusted easily, but don't worry, I am not a consumable."

Chen Guangxin sighed in a low voice: "Let me say one more thing. Anyone who needs to be sent here for me to teach fighting has encountered a problem that cannot be solved with a gun. If they are really one of us, they will not send them to an outsider like me to teach. This is all I can say. You can figure out the rest yourself."

It is difficult to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. Chen Guangxin has done his best and he cannot persuade Gao Yi anymore.

"Thank you, Master. I know what to do now. If I can do this deal, I will do it. If I can't, I will just withdraw."

Seeing Gao Yi's serious tone, Chen Guangxin nodded. Anyway, that was enough to say this. If he said more, it would be troublesome in case Gao Yi sold him out.

It is a taboo to talk about deep things with someone you just met. Chen Guangxin said these things because he really saw that Gao Yi was a skilled martial artist and they were indeed his fellow apprentice. Otherwise, he would have nothing better to do than to meddle in other people's affairs.

Gao Yi looked at Chen Guangxin and said, "Uncle Master, why don't you teach me how to use a gun?"

Chen Guangxin raised his eyebrows and said, "Playing with guns? Okay, you have no chance to practice your boxing skills with me. You are better than me, much better. Then I will teach you my best Kung Fu. This gun, especially the killer's gun, is different from others."

Gao Yi asked excitedly: "What's the difference?"

"Hiding, going out, fighting, they are all different. The two major groups that use guns are one open and one hidden. The open guns are the military and the police. You can understand this, right?"

"I understand. Just carry it on your body and show it outside."

Chen Guangxin patted his waist and said, "As for this hidden gun, first, it's for spies, and second, it's for bandits. Anyway, shooting a hidden gun is definitely not an upright way, so the first thing is to hide, and then shoot as soon as you draw the gun. You can't aim, and if you don't have time to aim, you don't need to aim. The key is to shoot as soon as the gun is out, and you must hit the target, and hit the target must be fatal. These look simple, but you have to practice."

"I will practice. I will practice well. Uncle Master, how do I practice this..."

Chen Guangxin was talking with great interest and Gao Yi was listening with excitement, but hurried footsteps were heard outside.

Gao Yi was interrupted, and he and Chen Guangxin looked outside the door together.

Xiao En came over. He saw Gao Yi noticed him, and waved, "Come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Xiao En's voice was somewhat anxious. Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he said to Chen Guangxin: "Uncle Master, I'll go over for a moment."

Chen Guangxin was slightly startled and whispered, "Go ahead, be careful."

Gao Yi didn't think that Sean was going to harm him, so he hurried out the door and walked in front of Sean.

"Why are you back again?"

Sean looked helpless and whispered, "There's something wrong with the target. The mission is cancelled. You can study hard now."

"What do you mean?"

Sean spread his hands and whispered, "Just forty minutes ago, someone offered a bounty for Henry Labelle on the dark web."

"Who is Henry?"

"Henry Labelle is Diso's top henchman. After Diso cleansed himself up, he handed over the underworld business to Henry. Henry also wants to clean himself up now, so he wants to hold a charity dinner, but someone offers a reward for killing Henry, and Henry can of course access the dark web, so after Henry got the news, he decided to cancel the charity dinner in Paris."

He put his hand on his forehead and pressed it for a while, then Sean put his hand down and whispered, "So, the chance is gone."

This is to alert the snake by stirring up trouble.

Gao Yi was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Is there no chance at all?"

Sean spread his hands and said, "The charity dinner will still be held, but the time has been moved forward to tomorrow. The venue has been changed to Henry's castle, and it is not certain whether Diso will attend. So, theoretically there is a chance, but in reality, there is no chance at all."

After finishing speaking, Sean smiled helplessly and said, "We can either change our target or find another opportunity, but this is it, there is nothing we can do."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Isn't a theoretical opportunity still an opportunity? At least, we have to go and take a look, right?"
