Chapter 68: Keenly Perceptive
The next day, Chen Wujun glanced at the plaque above when getting out of the car—Prosperity Bank.
“Sister Sha Jiu, is the gambling pool in the bank?” Chen Wujun turned his head and asked. Although he had never heard of this bank, it still surprised him.
“This gambling pool has at least sixty or seventy million in funds entering. Putting it in a trading company would require forging documents. We can’t count cash, right?” Sha Jiu explained after getting out of the car.
“Moreover, large fund transfers definitely need to be reported to the Federation. But since the bank is our own people, there’s no need to report!” Sha Jiu explained.
Chen Wujun then understood that there were so many twists and turns here.
“So powerful? Is this Xin Ye’s industry?” Chen Wujun asked.
“If that old guy had such a high-end industry, he would have washed his hands clean long ago. The shareholders of this bank have some relationship with various gangs. Pools like this gambling pool or some large transactions all go through here.”
Chen Wujun nodded, looking at the grand bank lobby in front of him, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he should control a small bank himself, so that fund flows and transfers wouldn’t attract the Federation’s attention.
And it would also give him face when talking about it.
Two men wearing suits in the bank saw Sha Jiu and Chen Wujun come in and hurriedly came over to greet them.
“Sister Jiu, this way please.”
At the same time, he said into the walkie-talkie: “Sister Jiu has arrived.”
Then the two were led to the VIP room, where the bank manager immediately received them attentively.
Chen Wujun sat on the sofa in the VIP room, feeling much more comfortable than the broken sofa at home.
It was also more comfortable than the sofa in Sha Jiu’s office.
“What are the odds now?” Sha Jiu asked directly.
“He Tu is now at 1 to 2.8, Li Dong at 1 to 1.4.”
“Jun Zai bets 1.2 million, I bet 10 million, on ourselves!”
Chen Wujun placed the handbag on the table.
“That 10 million, I’ll transfer to your account within three days.” Sha Jiu said, crossing her legs.
When Chen Wujun left the bank, he had a deposit slip in hand, deposited into an account called Jiu Yun Trading.
After this money is deposited, it will be transferred to a fund pool called De Xing Investment, jointly controlled by the bankers of this gambling pool, in a very short time.
And the news that Sha Jiu bet 10 million and Chen Wujun himself bet 1.2 million immediately reached the ears of the bankers operating behind the scenes.
“Sha Jiu is so confident? I heard his new henchman practices the same kung fu as her, but I don’t know who their master is… So secretive.”
……
After depositing the money, Chen Wujun went back and immediately found someone to calculate: 1.2 million at 2.8 odds, how much he could get.
Learning it was 3.36 million, he continued to bury his head in martial arts practice. Now it was already April 1st, and the weather in East District 9 was starting to get hot.
Chen Wujun glanced across at the opposite rooftop, closed his eyes to compare, and after a moment opened them again, with a flash of sharpness in his eyes.
If someone looked him straight in the eye, they would definitely feel his eyes were so bright they didn’t seem human.
“364 tiles…”
Chen Wujun counted the tiles opposite again, and sure enough, it was 364.
“Now I can count the tiles clearly, next I should count the bricks on the wall…” Chen Wujun turned his gaze to the wall.
Until evening, when Chen Wujun went back, his eyes kept scanning the street.
“The man in a suit 10 meters ahead to the left has a wallet in his left pocket… His sleeve is worn… Average conditions, not much money…”
“The woman 3 meters behind him has half a strawberry mark on her neck, not sure which bed she just got off…”
“That youth in a jacket has flickering eyes, two fingers always curling as if clipping something, he’s a pickpocket… He’s targeting that old lady…”
“That youth ahead to the right… A slight bulge at his waist, carrying a knife, hand unconsciously wanting to touch it, he’s a novice, looking for someone… Out for revenge…”
With eye training, Chen Wujun’s eyes became sharper and sharper. One glance swept countless details into his brain, noisy enough to suffocate.
He had to capture truly useful signals in this flood of information.
Not just how many people nearby, what details on them, where wallets are, what valuables they carry…
‘This is the so-called observing the finest details, even the fine hairs on autumn birds and beasts can be seen clearly, one glance and the surrounding environment is known like the back of one’s hand.’
‘With this eye training kung fu, at least I’m not afraid of being ambushed and surrounded. Any irregularities around can be detected immediately.’ Chen Wujun was very satisfied with this eye training kung fu.
‘Moreover, these past two days while practicing punches with others, through his eyes he could detect their power generation. Eye training plus listening to strength increases the grasp on the gambling battle a bit more, unfortunately still can’t practice dragon strength…’
’20 days until the gambling battle, not sure how that Yu Wei is preparing.’
‘He’s a new technique master, unlike me with a teacher guiding. Even if others train him, it’ll just be new technique stuff, won’t change as much as mine. And he relies on cold steel combat technique, won’t change easily, at most practice one or two killing moves.’
Chen Wujun went home to eat dinner, then went to A Yue’s place for another meal.
Due to martial arts practice, daily consumption was huge. Besides eye training, he never skipped the four greats bear, crane, tiger, ape stances and punching practice every day. Now he could eat two large bowls of rice and a pound of beef per meal.
The food at home was far from enough for him.
After eating and resting a bit, he went to He Tu Martial Arts School.
“Brother Jun!”
“Brother Jun!”
The henchmen at the martial arts school greeted him warmly when they saw him.
Now everyone at the martial arts school knew him, and when facing him, they were increasingly cautious.
Before, Chen Wujun still had a youthful air, but now the fierce aura on him was increasingly obvious.
Chen Wujun walked to the punching power testing device, stomped his foot, and threw a punch.
This punch only used whole strength throughout his body, without any accumulation of power.
Bang!
The cold blue numbers on the device jumped rapidly, finally stopping at 1316 jin.
Then Chen Wujun took a deep breath, his body arched, all bones, muscles, and fascia began to compress, then suddenly exploded.
Bang!
This time the cold blue numbers stopped at 1522 jin.
“Over 1500, this level of compression is usable in combat!” Chen Wujun felt huge satisfaction and confidence rise in his heart.
Back when he just had the gambling battle, using this level of compression explosion, his power could barely exceed 1000 jin.
And now it was over 1500 jin.
Most importantly, after months of practice, the speed of this level of compression and explosion was extremely fast, fully usable in actual combat.
The gap in strength between the two was not big anymore.
What remained was to see their own kung fu levels.
“A Jun, here so early.” A Hao brought people up to the second floor and saw Chen Wujun standing in front of the device.
Chen Wujun raised his hand to press the button, resetting the numbers on the device to zero.
He turned, placed his left hand on A Hao’s shoulder, hooked arms with him, and entered the adjacent room with only one arena.
“Didn’t eat too much, right?”
“What? Afraid I’ll puke? Jun Zai, you’re underestimating me.” A Hao laughed heartily, patted Chen Wujun’s back twice, then took off his jacket, revealing a body of bulging muscles, distinctly defined.
One look, like forged from steel.
Chen Wujun also took off his shirt and threw it aside, revealing an upper body with equally defined lines. When he turned, chunks of muscles piled on his back like a huge ghost face.
Especially when exerting force, his shoulder blades protruded two huge meat balls, like horns on the ghost face.
Chen Wujun put on gloves, took quick steps, leaped up over a meter high, jumped over the arena and ropes, then turned to face A Hao.
Both were just wearing half-finger gloves.
“Careful!” As soon as A Hao spoke, his foot stomped.
But before A Hao stomped, Chen Wujun saw his thigh and calf muscles swelling, immediately turned his foot to the left, and twisted his body.
Bang!
As A Hao punched out, Chen Wujun had already changed position, reached out to grab A Hao’s arm, feeling like grabbing steel, and it slid right off.
At the same time, his eyes clearly saw A Hao’s waist and shoulder muscles twisting, and he immediately took another hooking step.
A Hao did a turning horizontal elbow, smashing over like a big hammer.
At the same time, Chen Wujun had slid one step away, appearing at A Hao’s right rear, and slapped a palm toward A Hao’s shoulder.
A Hao had already used the horizontal elbow’s force to spin instantly, his arm colliding with Chen Wujun’s arm, making a sound like steel striking steel.
