Hong Kong Film: Starting Undercover from the Five Tigers!

“He likes to do things behind people’s backs,” Lin Xiaoyu said in a low voice. “The last disobedient transfer student was expelled for no reason.”

Liu Wenhao narrowed his eyes; this Li Hao was indeed quite interesting.

During the afternoon physical education class, Liu Wenhao showcased his athletic talent. Whether it was running or basketball, he easily surpassed his classmates.

"This guy is a real talent," a classmate whispered nearby.

Li Hao stood to one side, his face somewhat gloomy. He hated nothing more than someone stealing his thunder.

"Brother Li, should we teach him a lesson?" one of his henchmen asked in a low voice.

Li Hao waved his hand: "No rush, let's see what other skills he has first."

After school, Liu Wenhao was about to leave when he was surrounded by a group of people. The leader was Zhang Qiang, whom he had reprimanded that morning.

"Kid, it's time to settle the score from this morning," Zhang Qiang said through gritted teeth. "I brought some backup, let's see if you dare to act so cocky again!"

Liu Wenhao counted them; there were seven people in total, all looking like thugs. He sighed; it seemed a conflict was unavoidable today.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Liu Wenhao asked one last time.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Get them!"

Several people rushed at him, but Liu Wenhao did not back down. His body was like a perfectly calibrated machine, every movement precise and controlled.

Chapter 1170 Trouble!

In less than three minutes, all seven people were lying on the ground. Liu Wenhao clapped his hands, his expression remaining calm.

"Does anyone else want to try?" He looked around at the students watching.

No one answered; everyone was stunned by his performance.

Li Hao stood at the back of the crowd, his expression becoming complicated. He realized that this new transfer student might become his biggest threat.

Liu Wenhao packed his schoolbag and prepared to leave. As he reached the door, he turned back and his eyes met Li Hao's.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, both seeing a challenge in each other's eyes.

"Interesting," Liu Wenhao thought to himself. "This school is much more interesting than I imagined."

The next day, Liu Wenhao found himself a celebrity at school. Wherever he went, people pointed and whispered about what had happened the day before.

"I heard that freshman took down seven people all by himself?"

"Really? Isn't Zhang Qiang supposed to be a great fighter?"

"It looks like things are about to change at our school."

Liu Wenhao didn't care about these discussions; he was more concerned about Li Hao's reaction.

Sure enough, Li Hao came to find him after the second class.

“I heard about what happened yesterday,” Li Hao said, sitting down next to Liu Wenhao. “It was impressive.”

"Thank you for the compliment," Liu Wenhao replied with a smile.

“However, in this school, you can’t get far with just force,” Li Hao said meaningfully. “You need friends.”

"Friends?" Liu Wenhao looked at him. "You want to be friends with me?"

Li Hao nodded: "We can cooperate. You have military power, I have resources, let's join forces."

Liu Wenhao pondered for a moment: "Sounds good, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?"

“I don’t like being a subordinate.” Liu Wenhao looked directly into Li Hao’s eyes. “If we cooperate, we are equals.”

Li Hao's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his smile: "Of course, we are equal partners."

The two shook hands, but both knew that this was merely a facade of harmony. The real contest had only just begun.

During the first week of their collaboration, everything seemed harmonious on the surface. Li Hao showed Liu Wenhao around, familiarizing him with the school's various "businesses," from collecting protection money to organizing exam cheating—everything was there.

“This is our territory,” Li Hao said, pointing to the grove of trees behind the school. “Many students come here to relax every day.”

Liu Wenhao looked at the students smoking in the corner with a hint of disdain. This kind of petty trick was simply beneath him.

"How's your income?" Liu Wenhao asked casually.

"It's about 30,000 a month," Li Hao said proudly. "But I've been having some trouble lately."

"What trouble?"

Li Hao's face darkened: "Wang Lei from the next class wants a piece of the pie."

Liu Wenhao had heard of Wang Lei before. He was the top student in the second year of high school, and it was said that his family had some connections and that he had quite a few capable fighters under his command.

"How much does he want?" Liu Wenhao asked.

"Half," Li Hao said through gritted teeth. "That's outrageous!"

Liu Wenhao laughed: "So what do you plan to do?"

“Although my dad is the deputy director, Wang Lei’s uncle works in the Public Security Bureau.” Li Hao said helplessly, “We won’t gain any advantage in a head-on confrontation.”

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu walked over. She looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Liu Wenhao, do you have time to talk?"

Liu Wenhao nodded and followed her to the side.

"Are you really going to cooperate with Li Hao?" Lin Xiaoyu asked, frowning.

Chapter 1171 Attack!

"Is there a problem?" Liu Wenhao asked in return.

"He's not a good person," Lin Xiaoyu said. "Last semester, a girl refused to pay protection money, and he and a few others..."

She didn't finish speaking, but Liu Wenhao already understood.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Liu Wenhao asked, looking at her.

Lin Xiaoyu lowered her head: "I don't want to see you become like him."

Liu Wenhao was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you for reminding me."

Back beside Li Hao, Liu Wenhao noticed that the other man looked very unwell.

"What did she say to you?" Li Hao asked.

"Nothing much, just a normal chat," Liu Wenhao said casually.

Li Hao stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded: "What are your thoughts on Wang Lei's side?"

Liu Wenhao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see him."

"You?" Li Hao was somewhat surprised. "Going alone?"

“Sometimes, negotiation is more effective than fighting,” Liu Wenhao said.

The following afternoon, Liu Wenhao went alone to the senior high school building. Wang Lei's reputation was well-known there, and soon someone brought him to Wang Lei.

Wang Lei was taller than Liu Wenhao had imagined, standing at 1.8 meters tall with a muscular build, and he certainly looked very intimidating.

"You're the new transfer student?" Wang Lei sized up Liu Wenhao. "I heard you're pretty good at fighting?"

"It's alright," Liu Wenhao said casually.

"What did Li Hao send you here for? To beg for mercy?" Wang Lei laughed sarcastically.

“I’m here to talk business,” Liu Wenhao said. “You want half the share? That’s too greedy.”

Wang Lei's face darkened: "Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

“Of course I know,” Liu Wenhao said calmly. “But I think we can cooperate in a different way.”

"In what way?"

“We won’t interfere with your second-year students’ business. But don’t even think about getting your hands on the first-year students’ territory,” Liu Wenhao stated his conditions.

Wang Lei was stunned; he hadn't expected this freshman to make such a suggestion.

"What makes you think you can negotiate with me?" Wang Lei sneered. "Just because you're alone?"

"How about we make a bet?" Liu Wenhao suddenly said. "If I can last five minutes against you, you'll agree to my terms. If I can't, all of Gao Yi's business is yours."

Wang Lei became interested: "Interesting, but if you lose, it's not just a business issue. You'll have to kneel down and call me grandpa in front of the whole school."

"Deal." Liu Wenhao agreed without hesitation.

The news spread quickly, and the playground was packed with students after school. Li Hao rushed over, his face grim.

"Are you crazy?" Li Hao grabbed Liu Wenhao. "Wang Lei is trained, how could you possibly last five minutes?"

"Trust me." Liu Wenhao patted him on the shoulder.

Wang Lei had taken off his jacket, revealing his well-defined muscles. He stretched his limbs, making a cracking sound.

"Kid, I'll show you what a difference there is," Wang Lei said with a sinister grin.

Liu Wenhao did not reply, but simply stood there quietly, waiting for the match to begin.

"Start!" someone shouted.

Wang Lei immediately rushed over, his fist whistling as it aimed straight for Liu Wenhao's face. Liu Wenhao dodged to the side, easily avoiding the attack.

"Good speed, but not enough power," Wang Lei sneered, launching another attack.

Chapter 1172 Newcomer!

This time, his attack was even more ferocious, and the continuous heavy punches made the surrounding audience tense. But Liu Wenhao was like a slippery fish, always managing to avoid fatal attacks at crucial moments.

Three minutes passed, and Wang Lei began to breathe heavily, while Liu Wenhao remained calm and composed.

"This is impossible!" Wang Lei was getting anxious. He hadn't expected this seemingly frail freshman to be so difficult to deal with.

Another minute passed, and Wang Lei's movements noticeably slowed down. Liu Wenhao seized the opportunity and launched a sudden counterattack.

A simple straight punch landed squarely on Wang Lei's chest. Wang Lei grunted and staggered back a few steps.

"Time's up!" the student keeping time shouted.

The entire playground fell silent instantly; no one could believe their eyes. Wang Lei hadn't been able to defeat this freshman in five minutes.

Wang Lei's face turned ashen, but he was a man of his word: "You win."

Liu Wenhao nodded: "Then our agreement is in effect."

The crowd began to disperse, and Li Hao walked over, looking at Liu Wenhao with a complicated expression.

"Have you been hiding your strength all this time?" Li Hao asked.

"I just don't like bullying the weak," Liu Wenhao said.

Li Hao was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly: "It seems I underestimated you."

On his way home, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly appeared in front of Liu Wenhao.

"Why did you help Li Hao?" she asked.

Liu Wenhao thought for a moment: "Who said I was helping him?"

Lin Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant: "You're helping yourself build credibility."

"Smart." Liu Wenhao laughed. "Li Hao thought he was using me, but actually I was using him too."

"Then what is your purpose?" Lin Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Liu Wenhao said, "Of course, I want to become the king of this school."

Looking at his resolute expression, Lin Xiaoyu felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. This boy possessed an indescribable charm that made one want to trust him.

However, she also felt a vague sense of unease, because she knew that on this path, someone would inevitably become his stepping stone.

What she fears most is that she will unknowingly be drawn into this bloody struggle.

After signing the agreement with Wang Lei, Li Hao's status rose significantly. Other cliques from the first year of high school flocked to him, hoping to get a share of the profits.

“We now have more than fifty people,” Li Hao said, holding a meeting in the grove. “Our monthly income has also doubled.”

Liu Wenhao sat to the side, listening quietly. He noticed that Li Hao was increasingly enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by people, and was starting to feel a little smug.
