From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 1300: Martial Arts Contest (1)

But he hadn’t encountered nor crossed with the Dingwen Group in his past life.

Therefore, everything was new and unpredictable to him.

He wouldn’t be able to deal with the Dingwen Group as he did with the Zhai family business.

Then, Qin Chuan added: “Not to mention, he has strong support.”

Jian Yiling was now Zhai Yunsheng’s support and backing.

With Jian Yiling’s network and contacts, isolating Zhai Yunsheng was a pipe dream.

When Sheng Yingying and Qu Zhen heard Qin Chuan’s words, their thoughts to isolate Zhai Yunsheng immediately got dispelled.

All that they could do was to place their hopes on Elder Chen.

After all, if Elder Chen won, his words would still have an impact in Beijing. And this would subsequently somewhat prevent Zhai Yunsheng from getting a foothold in Beijing.

Three days passed in a flash.

Jingxin Court was Chen Lin’s territory.

After retiring on his 60th birthday, Chen Lin spent most of his time here.

Chen Lin ordered people to build a martial arts training ground here.

The building appeared to look like a Japanese-style martial arts hall.

The flooring was entirely wooden and water-proof.

In addition, there were some seats placed inside. These seats were reserved for the people who were coming to watch the fight today.

Even after Chen Lin’s retirement, he still practiced martial arts every day to keep in shape.

There were quite a few people present today. They were all invited by Chen Lin to watch the competition.

Chen Lin did not like the competition without an audience. Furthermore, this competition had to be witnessed so Jian Yiheng couldn’t deny losing.

Several members from the Loyalty Alliance came to watch this competition. They could only rest assured when they saw Jian Yiheng and Zhai Yunsheng lose with their own eyes.

Before the competition officially began, Chen Lin suddenly announced: “Today, there will be two matches. The first is the same as before. I will compete against Jian Yiheng. In the second match, I will compete against Zhai Yunsheng.”

Upon hearing this, surprise appeared on the faces of the spectators.

The members of the Loyalty Alliance were particularly surprised and worried.

Sheng Yingying and Qu Zhen hurriedly ran to ask Chen Lin:

“Elder Chen, what is this all about? Weren’t you only going to compete against Jian Yiheng? Why do you plan to suddenly fight against Zhai Yunsheng now?”

“Is there a problem with that? Shouldn’t I get to decide who I want to fight?”

“No, no, I didn’t mean anything with that comment. I’m just a little surprised.”

“There is no need to be surprised. Zhai Yunsheng approached me and said he wanted to add an additional match. This time, the bet was the plot of land in the western suburbs worth thirty billion dollars. If he loses, he will give me that plot of land.”

Even though Chen Lin was old, this did not mean he was not interested in money.

After all, this was thirty billion dollars. Why would he not take it if Zhai Yunsheng wanted to gift it to him?

“And… What if Zhai Yunsheng wins?” Sheng Yingying asked quietly.

“What? You think I will lose?” Chen Lin asked.

“No no, that’s not what I meant. I just wanted to know what Zhai Yunsheng wants from you,” Sheng Yingying hurriedly explained.

“If he wins, I will promise him three things,” Chen Lin replied. Zhai Yunsheng did not specify what three things.

However, Chen Lin did not think that this was a problem. After all, he did not believe Zhai Yunsheng could win against him.

Qu Zhen whispered to remind Chen Lin: “Elder Chen, it’s better to be safe than sorry. With your skills, even if Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiheng won’t win against you normally, they might have some dirty tricks up their sleeves.”

Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying were rather worried.

If Chen Lin actually ended up losing, Zhai Yunsheng might request Chen Lin to make a move against them.
