Martial Arts Across the Heavens: Becoming a Martial God Starting from the Big Boss in Tangshan

"Who?" Xiahou Wu thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head. "Chen Wen? Never heard of him. Is he connected to the case?"

Lu Xuanxin glanced at Xiahou Wu in surprise:

"Chen Wen, a Jeet Kune Do disciple, was very skilled even though he didn't defeat Feng Yuxiu."

Xiahou Wu was even more bewildered and shook his head repeatedly:

"Impossible! I know several people who have Jeet Kune Do lineages in Hong Kong, both older and younger generations, and there are definitely no ones named 'Chen Wen' among them!"

"And you said he knows Feng Yuxiu, and even fought with him... I couldn't possibly not have heard of a master of that level!"

He frowned, feeling that things were becoming increasingly strange:

"Officer Lu, why are you bringing this up? Is he also a murderer?"

Lu Xuanxin shook her head:

"Didn't I just say? Tan Jingyao was saved by him."

"And it was also he who told us where Feng Yuxiu was hiding."

At this moment, the car stopped.

Lu Xuanxin picked up a tablet computer from beside the passenger seat, quickly operated it a few times, pulled up a video, and handed it to Xiahou Wu:

"Look, this is the CCTV footage from the Kowloon Art Museum that day. The first part shows Feng Yuxiu attacking Tan Jingyao. But look at the rest..."

Xiahou Wu took the tablet and stared at it intently.

In the scene, Feng Yuxiu uses his sharp leg techniques to corner Tan Jingyao, and it looks like he's about to kill him.

Just then, a figure burst in and started fighting with Feng Yuxiu, eventually forcing him back.

Xiahou Wu's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

The person in the video is too young!

But that skill and temperament are simply the work of a genius, one in a million!

Are there still people with such extraordinary talent in modern society?

Lu Xuanxin had been carefully observing Xiahou Wu and found that the other party seemed genuinely surprised.

In other words, Xiahou Wu really didn't know Chen Wen.

However, Chen Wen knew Xiahou Wu and also knew a great deal about Feng Yuxiu.

Chen Wen's identity and background are probably even more unusual than they had previously thought.

Just then.

Xiahou Wu was watching the video intently when he suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis.

He quickly turned his head and immediately saw a hooded man in black standing on the street corner!

They were staring intently at them!

"Feng Yuxiu!"

Xiahou Wu cried out in alarm, yanked open the car door, and leaped out, rushing towards Feng Yuxiu.

"Xiahou Wu! Stop right there!"

Lu Xuanxin's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly pushed open the car door and shouted.

Ah Jie and several other police officers also got out of the car.

But in those few seconds of delay, by the time they rushed over, the narrow alley was already deserted.

Not only has Feng Yuxiu disappeared without a trace, but Xiahou Wu has also vanished!

Lu Xuanxin stood at the alley entrance, her face turning from white to green, and finally to ashen.

It's over! It's all over!

Feng Yuxiu failed to catch him, and he even lost Xiahou Wu, a serious criminal who had just been paroled!

This responsibility...

Ah Jie and several police officers also panicked:

"Boss, what do we do?"

Lu Xuanxin's chest heaved violently, filled with panic and anger, but her remaining rationality told her that now was not the time to break down.

She gritted her teeth and said fiercely:

"Immediately notify headquarters to issue an arrest warrant! Issue an arrest warrant for Xiahou Wu!"

Ah Jie's face paled, and he leaned closer and whispered:

"Boss, think it over!"

"This is a huge responsibility; we might all have to take our clothes off and leave! Why don't we secretly do our best to search and bring Xiahou Wu back first?"

"As long as the person is found, there's still a chance to salvage the situation!"

Lu Xuanxin was of course aware of the serious consequences.

Concealing the truth might allow him to keep his job temporarily.

But Xiahou Wu is a murderer who went to prison, and he is also highly skilled in martial arts. Now he is involved with Feng Yuxiu, an even more dangerous madman.

If innocent people are harmed during this process, her sin will be even greater!

"No! Xiahou Wu is a serious criminal and extremely dangerous."

"We cannot conceal risks and put citizens in potential danger just to protect our own positions."

"I'll take responsibility for whatever it may be! Report it immediately and issue a city-wide warrant!"

Seeing that she was determined, Ah-Jie and several police officers knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and do as she said.

Lu Xuanxin felt a surge of powerlessness and overwhelming anger.

She hated Feng Yuxiu, hated Xiahou Wu, and hated herself even more! She couldn't help but grit her teeth and mutter:

"Xiahou Wu... was enfeoffed in Xiu..."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered someone!

"Chen Wen!"

Chen Wen's identity is mysterious, and no reliable background can be found. Even Xiahou Wu does not know him.

But he seemed to know a lot of things, and he knew Feng Yuxiu very well. Now Xiahou Wu had run away.

Perhaps there is still hope on Chen Wen's side?

Lu Xuanxin didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately took out her phone.

"Feed?" Chen Wen's voice came through the receiver.

Lu Xuanxin had already spoken impatiently:

"Chen Wen! Where are you? I have urgent business with you and must see you immediately!"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Wen seemed to pause for a moment, his tone clearly showing surprise:

"Officer Lu? I just bought this phone a few days ago, how did you know?"

Lu Xuan interrupted him urgently:

"I'm an inspector in the Major Crimes Unit, don't underestimate me!"

"There's no time to explain now, this is extremely urgent!"

Chen Wen paused for two seconds before speaking:

"Okay, I'm over here at the reservoir, come over here."

Lu Xuanxin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly hung up the phone, saying to A-Jie:

"Ah Jie, go back and issue a warrant for Xiahou Wu's arrest!"

Before she could finish speaking, and without waiting for her subordinates to react, she floored the accelerator and drove straight toward the reservoir.

The reservoir is quite remote and there are hardly any people around.

There were only two men and one woman with a child fishing on the shore, which looked like a family outing or a gathering of friends.

But she was too anxious to look closely.

After searching for a long time, Lu Xuanxin finally found Chen Wen in a small grove of trees.

"Chen Wen! What are you doing fishing here? Where's your fishing gear?"

Chen Wen shook his head and pointed to a grove of trees not far away, where several monkeys were playing and frolicking.

"I'm not fishing, I'm here to see the monkeys."

Inspired by others, he spent his days practicing martial arts with Shao Henian, Chen Boguang, and others.

It's about going to the zoo to see tigers and bears, but those are all captive animals.

So I came here today specifically to see the wild monkeys.

Try to deepen your understanding of Xingyiquan.

Lu Xuanxin looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw several monkeys moving around at the edge of the woods.

She was taken aback at first, then speechless.

He was in a terrible panic, unable to catch Feng Yuxiu and having lost Xiahou Wu, and was completely overwhelmed. And this guy went all the way to the reservoir just to see monkeys?!

"You really have plenty of free time! What about Feng Yuxiu? Don't you want to arrest him anymore?"

Chen Wen looked at her with some surprise:

"Officer Lu, isn't arresting Feng Yuxiu... your job? I remember telling you where he was hiding."

Lu Xuanxin's face froze instantly, turning red and white in turns, extremely embarrassed.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Chen Wen raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of disbelief:

"You guys didn't catch him? Seriously? I specifically warned you to be careful, how could he get away?"

Lu Xuanxin was already extremely aggrieved, and hearing these words made her feel even more guilty.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her turbulent emotions, and sincerely apologized to Chen Wen:

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I underestimated Feng Yuxiu."

Chen Wen looked at Lu Xuanxin's sincere apology and shook his head slightly with a sigh:

"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now."

"Feng Yuxiu's strength is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is understandable that you underestimate him because you do not understand kung fu."

"You rushed to see me because you want me to help you capture Feng Yuxiu?"

"I'm busy! Besides, I already told you on the phone last time that you can go find Xiahou Wu."

Mentioning Xiahou Wu, Lu Xuanxin's expression darkened further, and she said with a bitter smile:

"Don't mention Xiahou Wu... he ran away too."

"Oh," Chen Wen replied, his face expressionless. He didn't even turn around, his gaze returning to the monkey troop in the distance.

Lu Xuanxin waited, but instead of the expected surprise or questions, she was puzzled by Chen Wen's calm reaction.

"Why aren't you reacting at all? Xiahou Wu is a murderer! He escaped during his parole period; this is a serious matter!"

Chen Wen then glanced at her again, his tone calm:

"I knew it."

"Is this what's making you anxious? There's no need for that."

"Unnecessary?" Lu Xuanxin was almost amused by his nonchalant attitude. "An extremely dangerous murderer has escaped from prison, and you're telling me it's unnecessary?"

Chen Wen turned around and looked directly at her.

"Officer Lu, you were too hasty and overlooked some things."

"Feng Yuxiu is Feng Yuxiu, and Xiahou Wu is Xiahou Wu. There is a fundamental difference between the two of them."

"Feng Yuxiu is a complete madman. He would even strangle his own wife with his own hands for his so-called 'proving the Dao'."

"He had no more attachments or scruples, which is why he acted so recklessly and ruthlessly."

"But Xiahou Wu is different."

"He has family and friends, and he finally saw an opportunity to redeem himself through good deeds."

"He doesn't want to, and won't, be a fugitive for the rest of his life."

Lu Xuanxin was stunned, pondering Chen Wen's words carefully.

Yes, Xiahou Wu proactively provided clues while in prison, and after his release, he actively sought to assist in the arrest. His goal has always been very clear.

Meritorious service will result in a reduced sentence.

"So, I don't need to rush to find him?" Lu Xuanxin asked to confirm.

"Just wait." Chen Wen nodded. "Besides, it's easy to guess where Xiahou Wu went. He has a childhood sweetheart junior sister in his hometown."

Lu Xuanxin's eyes lit up!

Yes! Xiahou Wu's place of origin and main social connections are all in the archives!

If he wanted to hide temporarily or seek help, going back to his hometown to find that junior sister would be the most reasonable explanation!

"I see!" Lu Xuanxin suddenly understood, and then looked at Chen Wen with curiosity.

"But how can you be so sure?"

"Furthermore, how do you know so much about Xiahou Wu, Feng Yuxiu, and even their interpersonal relationships?"

Chen Wen met Lu Xuanxin's gaze and helplessly shrugged.

This is all from the movie; he has no way of explaining it.

"I just happen to know this much. I'm not so good at other things. For example…"

He deliberately dragged out his words, and his gaze swept over Lu Xuanxin openly.

"For example, Officer Lu, I don't know your measurements."

"You!" Lu Xuanxin's face flushed, and she spat, "At such a young age, what are you learning! If you want to flirt, go find a girl your own age!"

Chen Wen wasn't annoyed. He laughed and was about to say something to ease the tension.

Just then, it seemed that something was wrong with the group of people fishing on the reservoir bank.

Did that woman leave with the child sometime ago?

Only two middle-aged men remained.

However, one of them was holding a large rock and standing behind the other!

This scene... seems a little familiar?

Upon seeing this, Chen Wen's expression instantly became extremely strange.

Lu Xuanxin didn't hear Chen Wen's response, so she gave him a strange look and also looked towards the shore.

His expression immediately changed drastically.

"Watch out! Stop!"
