A panicked woman’s voice reverberated throughout the entire hall. “Oops, I didn’t know you were so weak…”
Xu Wei hastily ran forward to help Chen Mei up from the ground. However, Mr. Zhou rushed up to the stage and pushed Xu Wei aside. He stared at her warily and hissed, “Stay away from Ms. Chen!”
Everything had happened too fast. Everyone just saw Chen Mei charge toward Xu Wei. Then, just as everyone thought Chen Mei was going to end the fight, something happened. A second before Chen Mei’s hand touched Xu Wei, Xu Wei dodged with feline grace and lifted her arm. Seizing the opportunity while Chen Mei was stunned, she grabbed her wrist and delivered a kick on her stomach.
Her movement was so fluid and smooth that it was apparent that she had practiced martial arts before.
Chen Mei was genuinely dumbfounded. She thought Xu Wei was just a woman who took advantage of her cute face to get her way. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she would be a wolf in sheep’s skin!
The trainees all rushed up to the stage. Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu went on the stage as well.
The atmosphere was tense.
Mr. Zhou was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. He did not know why it had all ended up this way. Had Xu Wei not told him that she did not know how to fight? When he thought about the things that Xu Wei had told him just now, he jerked his head around and snarled, “Liar! Didn’t you say that you’d never practiced taekwondo before? How could you lie to me?”
Xu Wei replied, “I’ve never practiced taekwondo before, but I’ve been practicing kickboxing for more than 10 years. I’m not a liar.”
Mr. Zhou was stumped. He did not know what to say at all.
The rest of the trainees glared at Xu Wei and growled, “This is just a friendly match, so why are you so serious? How can you hit her so hard?”
“But…” Xu Wei scratched her head. “She’s the one who asked me to go all out. Besides, since she’s the owner of this taekwondo gym, I thought she’d be pretty good. I didn’t expect her to be so weak…”
‘Holy…’
Ye Jiu exclaimed inwardly. He knew what Chen Mei was planning. She wanted to humiliate Xu Wei in front of everyone, but none of them had expected Xu Wei to be practicing kickboxing for more than 10 years.
Not only the trainees but even the spectators in the audience seats had not expected that Xu Wei could defeat Chen Mei.
“It seems like this taekwondo gym is not that good. Initially, I wanted to send my boy here to practice taekwondo because she said that she’s a sixth-degree black belt holder, but who knew she couldn’t even defeat a kickboxer.”
“Yeah. I think I have to reconsider as well. This taekwondo gym seems suspicious to me.”
Chen Mei heard the entire conversation. Her face turned livid with rage, as she had never been humiliated like this before.
After a long while, just as her trainees were about to say something again, she stopped them and said, “Mrs. Lu is right. I was worried that I might injure her, so I didn’t go all out on her. Anyway, since Mrs. Lu won the match, we should give her the prize.”
After her trainees helped her up from the ground, she handed the voucher to her. “Please visit our taekwondo gym when you’re free, Mrs. Lu. Maybe we can spar again next time.”
“I think I will pass.” Xu Wei waved her hand. “You’re a good person, Ms. Chen, so I don’t want to hurt you.”
After all, if something really happened to Chen Mei during their match, then she’d have to compensate her with money.
It was already hard enough to raise three kids, and if they also had to compensate Chen Mei with money, Xu Wei was worried that Lu Jingqing would not be able to handle it.
Xu Wei’s face flushed when she thought of her husband.
Chen Mei did not know what to say.
On the other hand, the masked man who had defeated ten professional coaches in a row looked coldly at the coach writhing in pain on the ground with a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
Since there were surveillance cameras around, he could not kill anyone openly.
A round of applause erupted from the audience seats.
Matthew smiled coldly.
‘What a bunch of babbling fools.’
He swore in his heart that he would cut all of them into pieces and add them to his collection if he had the chance.
Then, he took the voucher and went downstairs.

Meanwhile, at the airport in Myanmar…
The captains of the 6th and 7th divisions got off the plane with their teams.
All of them were wearing silver masks on their faces as they walked down the special passage. The moment they walked out of the special passage, the 4th and 5th divisions, as well as the local Myanmar police officers, were already waiting for them outside the airport.
Jiang Ningbei, who was also the captain of the 6th division, sent a message to Fu Zhi, but she did not reply to him.
In the meantime, one of the police officers received a phone call. He walked to the corner to answer the phone, and his face was stern when he came back.
“Captains, we just received a report that the owner of the lodge on Evergreen Street was murdered. The murderer dismembered and ground his body with a meat grinder before burying it in the garden to use it as fertilizer…”
The police officer frowned. Even though he had worked on many murder cases before, this was by far the most gruesome murder case he had come across. “After the initial investigation and fingerprint matching, it’s been confirmed that the person who killed the owner and lived in the lodge is Matthew. According to the surveillance footage, Matthew left the lodge this morning. He has avoided all surveillance cameras, but it seems that he’s heading to the street where the Lucky Cloud Pavilion is located.”
They had to admit that Matthew was indeed a highly intelligent criminal. His anti-reconnaissance ability was top notch, and he was very good at covering his tracks.
“Anmisu will be transferred the day after tomorrow, but Matthew showed up today. If possible, we hope you guys can cooperate with us to capture him.”
The captains of the 4th and 5th divisions nodded. “There might be new casualties if he really shows up. We will now go back to get our cars. In the meantime, we need you guys to help us do something. First, we need a map. Second, we need you guys to keep an eye on the milk tea shops on Evergreen Street and near the Lucky Cloud Pavilion.
“Oh yeah, if possible, contact the owners of the milk tea shops and tell them about the situation. Send Matthew’s photo to them and ask them to keep their guard up. If they spot any suspicious individuals, they should call us immediately.”

At the same time, outside the dressing room on the third floor…
When Xu Wei came out of the dressing room after changing back into her own clothes, she saw Fu Zhi and Ye Jiu waiting for her outside.
Both of them were leaning against the wall, and the sunlight that was filtered through the window cast a golden halo around them.
Squinting her eyes, Fu Zhi studied Xu Wei incredulously.
