In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

"What? You don't want to?"

Chen Biao moved closer, craning his neck to get close to Su Hao's face and asked.

The henchmen behind him also had their hands on the short sticks at their waists, their eyes filled with hostility.

"I can provide the physical labor, but I don't have the money to buy the materials..."

"You'll have to figure that out. All I know is that if I don't see the goods by then, do you know what will happen?"

Chen Biao raised his hand to interrupt Su Hao, his voice turning cold.

"Ah Hao, you're a smart man, unlike that old Sun, who's old, forgetful, and senile. So I should be able to see the goods by then, right?"

Seeing that Su Hao remained silent, Chen Biao was not in a hurry, but continued to stare at him, waiting for a reply.

He knew that Su Hao was present when Old Sun was involved that day, and he didn't believe that Su Hao would dare to say no.

Previously, because Old Sun pretended to be stupid and failed to deliver the goods, he was severely reprimanded by the gang leader when he returned, and lost face.

After all, the gang had given him a lot of money to buy equipment, but he gambled it all away and ended up with a huge debt.

So when he saw that Old Sun refused to help no matter what, he found an excuse to beat Old Sun severely.

Recently, their feud with the Black Tiger Gang has completely erupted, and the two sides will inevitably have a bloody battle sooner or later. If he can't bring the guy back to report this time, then he can forget about working here.

So no matter what, Su Hao has to agree today.

Su Hao remained silent, pondering a solution, his eyes growing increasingly cold.

After a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "Okay... I'll deliver the goods to you next month, but I'd appreciate it if you'd settle the payment by then, Brother Biao..."

"Haha! You're the one who knows what's good for you. Don't worry, you'll get your money's worth!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Biao burst into laughter and patted his chest to assure him.

Su Hao nodded, said nothing more, and did not believe the promises the other party made.

"You guys should also come and keep an eye on Ah Hao's shop more often these days, so he doesn't get too many people bothering him. He has important matters to attend to right now, understand?"

Chen Biao then looked at his henchmen behind him and said seriously.

"Yes, Brother Biao!"

The group nodded repeatedly, their gazes toward Su Hao becoming somewhat mocking.

"Alright! We won't disturb Brother Hao any longer, let's go!"

Chen Biao smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left the shop.

Su Hao watched them leave. He walked to the door and watched them disappear at the end of the street before turning back to the shop with a blank expression.

Su Hao moved a stool over and took the money hidden under the tiles. He then poured a basin of water to extinguish the fire in the furnace, quickly packed all the forging tools into a cloth bag, slung the bag over his shoulder, locked the door, and left the shop.

If you can't afford to offend them, then stay away. He can no longer stay in Blackwater Street.

He won't return here until this matter is completely resolved and the Ferocious Tiger Gang is destroyed.

Su Hao turned into the alleys on both sides of Blackwater Street. To avoid running into Chen Biao and his men again, he took a roundabout route and returned to his residence half an hour later.

After putting away all the forging tools, Su Hao headed towards the boxing gym.

Upon arriving at the boxing gym, Su Hao went to his usual training spot, glanced around the arena, and searched for Zhou Zhengtang's figure.

But they found that under the shade of the willow tree, Master Liu was standing there, practicing the moves of Yueshan Boxing, while explaining something to him.

Standing beside him were three men and two women, among whom was Zhou Zhengtang.

Su Hao's eyes flickered, but he didn't go over to disturb him. He simply looked away and began to practice his stance, continuing his daily training.

The people under the shade of the tree were all senior students from the boxing gym.

Moreover, they are among the most outstanding disciples in the gym, and each of them comes from a well-off family, so it's natural that they would form their own little clique.

Although Su Hao had some cooperative employment relationship with Zhou Zhengtang, he was not familiar with the others, and in addition, it was not the right time to go there as Master Liu was currently teaching.

Anyway, Zhou Zhengtang will come to him for the homework today, so the other party will naturally come over then.

After practicing the stance training twice, Zhou Zhengtang also came over.

"Junior Brother Su, you're a little late today?"

Zhou Zhengtang came to Su Hao's side and, seeing that the other was covered in sweat, smiled and said.

"Something came up and took a while." Su Hao nodded, picked up the towel on his shoulder to wipe away the sweat, and then took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his clothes and handed it to Zhou Zhengtang.

"What's wrong? Do you need help?" Zhou Zhengtang took the paper and frowned.

"No need, it's resolved for now."

Su Hao shook his head and refused.

Although his relationship with Zhou Zhengtang is currently quite good, he doesn't want to trouble him too much.

Zhou Zhengtang nodded slightly, asked no further questions, and then opened the paper to check its contents.

"The sun sets beyond the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea..."

As he read the poem on the paper, his eyes couldn't help but shine.

"Junior Brother Su's literary talent is truly remarkable. It's just a pity that the court is corrupt and the path to officialdom is difficult. Otherwise, with your talent, you would surely achieve great things by passing the imperial examinations!"

Zhou Zhengtang put away the papers and couldn't help but sigh.

He has said these words countless times in the past two weeks.

Every time Su Hao helped him with his homework, especially writing poems, almost every one of them left a deep impression on him.

He was also completely impressed by Su Hao's talent. In addition, Su Hao's usual hard work, self-discipline and composure made him feel that Su Hao was a person worth befriending.

He believed that with the other person's character, he would eventually be able to make a name for himself.

He originally wanted to develop Su Hao into his client, but now he has changed his mind. It is more appropriate for them to get along as equals as friends. Now his relationship with Su Hao is quite good.

"I'm just a porter, Senior Brother Zhou, you flatter me!"

Su Hao shook his head.

He was telling the truth; when it came to writing, he basically copied classical poems and lyrics verbatim.

Moreover, there is no such thing as copyright infringement in this world, let alone plagiarism. You can copy whatever you want, as long as you can make money.

"You're still too modest!" Zhou Zhengtang smiled, then suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way... I heard you mention last time that Blackwater Street, where you are, is controlled by the Ferocious Tiger Gang, right?"

"Hmm! Senior Brother Zhou, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Su Hao was somewhat puzzled.

This week, my senior brother has a wide circle of friends, ranging from the legitimate to the illegitimate, with a vast network of contacts and excellent access to all sorts of gossip.

The fact that they brought up the Fierce Tiger Gang at this time suggests they have some information to share.

"Here's the thing, recently a group of Black Tiger Gang members in Hongqiao Town clashed with the Fierce Tiger Gang. Several high-ranking members from both sides have already lost their lives, and a bloody battle is imminent. So be careful lately, and try to avoid the territories they control!"

Zhou Zhengtang reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Su Hao's heart stirred. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. However, may I trouble Senior Brother Zhou with a matter?"

"Oh? Junior Brother Su, why don't you tell me what it is?"

Seeing Su Hao's serious expression, Zhou Zhengtang also spoke solemnly.

"Could you help me check on the current situation of the Ferocious Tiger Gang, and investigate someone..."
