The surrounding people saw the burly British vagrants surround Chen Feng and Wang Ziwei, and they all wisely fled to protect themselves, fearing they would get into trouble.
If it were Chinese people fighting Chinese people, the onlookers would apprehend the assailant, and the problem wouldn't be significant. Perhaps the police would even award them medals for courageous deeds.
However, the issue was that right now, it was British people beating Chinese people. If they casually intervened and happened to beat up a British person, the consequences would be unusually severe. They could very well end up in prison and have to pay fines.
The reason: for beating up a British person.
This was a significant drawback in China.
Beating up Chinese people was not a big problem; with some mediation, it could generally be resolved.
But beating up British people, well, that was a serious matter and had to be dealt with strictly.
The distinction between inside and outside, or between locals and foreigners, has always existed in China, from the past to the present, and it's truly unfortunate.
Perhaps, once China truly becomes powerful, this kind of differential treatment will disappear.
A great nation should have the demeanor of a great nation!
"Teacher Wang, you should go back to your hotel room first. These people are here for me," Chen Feng said calmly.
"I'm not leaving. I'm going to deal with these bad British people with you," Wang Ziwei said earnestly and excitedly.
"Teacher Wang, I understand your feelings. You can't stand the arrogance of the British and you don't want to see me get hurt. But if you stay, you won't be able to help and will only hinder me," Chen Feng advised Wang Ziwei.
"How would I be hindering you?" Wang Ziwei asked, confused.
In Wang Ziwei's opinion, although she was a woman and not very strong, if she desperately bit one of the British people, she could at least help Chen Feng a little.
"Teacher Wang, you should know that I not only know Chinese traditional medicine but also Chinese traditional martial arts. If you weren't nearby, I wouldn't have to worry about you and could focus all my attention on dealing with these five British vagrants. But if you were by my side, I would have to divide my attention to take care of you. If my attention is divided, fighting five on one would inevitably lead to defeat," Chen Feng explained calmly.
"That's the logic, but the problem is, can you win against five burly British men alone using Chinese traditional martial arts?" Wang Ziwei asked with concern.
"Teacher Wang, to be honest, I started learning Chinese traditional martial arts in my freshman year. I've been learning until now. Although I can't reach the level of fighting a hundred people with one, fighting five is not a problem. Chinese traditional martial arts, like Chinese traditional medicine, are profound and unfathomable," Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Alright, Chen Feng, I believe you." After speaking, Wang Ziwei turned and walked towards the hotel.
The five vagrants did not stop Wang Ziwei. Their main target today was Chen Feng, and they did not want to be distracted by others.
The boss had said that if Chen Feng was beaten so badly he couldn't get up, he would give each of them one hundred thousand British pounds.
One hundred thousand Chinese yuan isn't worth much, but one hundred thousand British pounds is definitely valuable.
Therefore, they had to take down Chen Feng today!
"Kid, if you obediently let us beat you, we promise to just have you lying in bed for a month. If you resist, you'll be lying in bed for a lifetime," the five British vagrants threatened Chen Feng.
"Do you know where this is, to dare to be so arrogant?" Chen Feng asked calmly.
"This is Hong Kong, a paradise for foreigners. What's the problem?" the five British vagrants asked with arrogant laughter.
Chen Feng didn't want to say a word.
On one hand, there was immense sorrow.
On the other hand, there was immense indignation.
The sorrow was that, to this day, on Chinese soil, there still existed the phenomenon of foreigners being arrogant and overbearing.
In the past, because China was poor and weak, it was normal to be bullied by foreigners.
However, China has now developed into the second-largest economy in the world. To still be bullied by foreigners is truly sad. Deep down, a sense of weakness still exists in China.
This situation must change!
On Chinese soil, if foreigners dare to be arrogant and overbearing, regardless of anything else, beat them into submission.
Don't be afraid of harming international relations or damaging China's international image.
If foreigners dare to be arrogant and boastful, Chinese people dare to fight back.
The indignation was that the five British vagrants were actually so audacious, in broad daylight, ganging up on one person.
Looking at the expressions of the five British vagrants, it seemed like this wasn't the first time they had ganged up on Chinese people.
Since he encountered them today, he would take down these five scumbags at once.
They must be made to understand that China is no longer the China of the past.
Chinese people are not so easy to bully.
"You all come at me together. I'm in a hurry," Chen Feng said calmly.
"Kid, aren't you too arrogant? Open your dog eyes and see how many of us there are? How strong is our physical fitness?" the five British vagrants roared.
"Stop yapping and come at me," Chen Feng said calmly.
"Good, very good. If we don't beat you into a vegetative state today, you won't think that the British in Hong Kong are just sitting around doing nothing," the five people shouted, their eyes bloodshot and filled with murderous intent as they charged at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng wasn't panicking at all.
He calmly took out five silver needles from his pocket.
It was time to combine Chinese traditional medicine with Chinese traditional martial arts.
Of course, using Chinese acupuncture needles in reality is very different from how it's described in novels.
In novels, a single silver needle can kill someone invisibly.
He couldn't do that.
His combination of Chinese traditional martial arts and Chinese traditional medicine could, at best, only slow down the movements of the five people due to the acupuncture.
Once the five people's movements were slowed down, things would become easier.
Chinese traditional martial arts, using minimal force to overcome great force, would make these five British vagrants fall to the ground one by one.
To be fair, the difference between real-life traditional Chinese medicine and the traditional Chinese medicine depicted in novels is quite significant!
The reality was exactly as Chen Feng had predicted. In less than ten minutes, all five were on the ground, unable to get up.
To prevent these five British vagrants from harming others in the future, Chen Feng took out five more silver needles and poked one into the temple of each British vagrant.
With this poke, the five British vagrants would be vegetative patients for the rest of their lives.
After dealing with the five British vagrants, Chen Feng went to find the British boss.
He originally planned not to make trouble with him, but unexpectedly, the guy was ungrateful and hired five British vagrants to beat him.
This debt must be repaid, otherwise, the British would truly think that China is easy to bully.
"Shouldn't you be in the hospital?" the British boss asked, looking at Chen Feng in disbelief.
All five British vagrants were strongmen. Shouldn't they have crushed Chen Feng with overwhelming force?
How was Chen Feng unharmed?
"Avril, I'll tell you one thing: China today is no longer the China of the past that could be bullied at will. Whether it's the economy or technology, it crushes your Britain. That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that Chinese traditional martial arts and Chinese traditional medicine also crush your Britain. How could five mere scumbags think they could defeat Chinese traditional martial arts? You're overthinking it," Chen Feng retorted with a cold laugh.
"Are you saying you took down five British strongmen by yourself?" Avril cautiously probed.
"The rest of their lives, the five of them can only spend in bed. This is the result of provoking Chinese men. Now, I'll give you two options: First, kowtow and admit your mistake, and donate some money for charity in China. Second, I'll let you experience the miraculousness of Chinese traditional medicine. This dual-natured Chinese medicine will surely make your life worse than death!" Chen Feng said coldly.
"Chen Feng, don't be arrogant. I'm British. I have diplomatic immunity and special protection. If you pressure me too much, the Hong Kong political arena will definitely come after you..." Avril threatened Chen Feng.
