Chapter 925
“Oh?”
Ji Feng asked with a smile, “What’s that?”
Zhang Lei smiled and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, smiling, “Just now, I went to get the surveillance footage with that manager of Xingtai Hotel, I took advantage of the time he went to arrange for a taxi and copied some other surveillance footage by hand, it should be of some use.”
“Some other surveillance footage?” Ji Feng was stunned, “You mean to say that some of the footage of their crimes were copied down by you as well?”
Ji Feng thought it shouldn’t be that easy, to know that some of the hookups done in entertainment places like this, there would actually be very little video footage, and even if there was, it was probably to hold certain people’s hand, otherwise, if there was video footage of just about anything, then where would any guests dare to come?
Zhang Lei laughed: “You’ll know when you look at it ……”
Ji Feng was somewhat skeptical and took the phone over, casually opened one of the video files and played it, and at once, a scene that made him frown played out.
The video on the phone was indeed a surveillance video from the hotel, and it seemed to be a video video from a private room, in which several men were making out with several young girls.
The video was almost all similar, and one of the videos was a surveillance video from the corridor. Because the phone screen was small, some things on the screen could not be seen too clearly, but from that screen you could barely make out the names on the doors of a few compartments closer to the surveillance cameras ……
“How about this, with this video, is it possible to determine that there is some nasty behavior at Xingtai Hotel?” Zhang Lei smiled, “I think the city bureau did not take action, probably because there was no full evidence, but now with this surveillance video, it’s different, with this, at least a temporary inspection or clearance operation can be carried out, when the time comes to catch him in the act, it should not be a problem, right?”
Ji Feng faintly shook his head and said, “It’s not easy to say. You also know that if the municipal bureau really wants to investigate, they are still afraid that they won’t be able to find any excuse? There are many excuses such as receiving reports and temporary inspections, but isn’t the Xingtai Hotel still open for business now, and their people are living more than anyone else, so what can be said about that?”
“You mean ……” Zhang Lei’s brow furrowed slightly, “Xingtai Hotel is not a small background?”
“Mostly so!” Ji Feng nodded and said, “I’ll give this copy to my second uncle first and give it a try, maybe there’s something else in this that we don’t know about.”
Through the conversation with Zheng Yuanshan, Ji Feng had vaguely understood something, there must be something fishy in it, after all, if he could make even Zheng Yuanshan feel embarra*sed, then the other party must be of extraordinary origin. The most important thing now is not to plan how to deal with Xingtai Hotel, but to ask second uncle Ji Zhenguo what his opinion is!
In fact, Ji Feng had only accidentally come across the matter of Xingtai Hotel, which is why he decided to take care of it, otherwise, he actually did not want to meddle in it.
But now that the matter has come up, it is natural to find a way to solve it!
Ji Feng thought of Hu Xuehui, his former lover, but now she was a stranger.
Imagine if Hu Xuehui hadn’t been so desperate to kick Ji Feng away, so that once she knew Ji Feng’s identity, with that snobbish personality of hers, plus her greed, there was no telling what kind of trouble she would stir up.
And now, if she can recognize her identity, her ability, and find a man in the future to live in peace, she would be considered happy.
Her character is not suitable for great wealth and prosperity, or else she will be a troublemaker sooner or later. It is probably best for her to live a quiet and stable life.
Afterwards, the three of them took the car to the 4s shop for repairs, and afterwards, the 4s shop provided a van for Ji Feng and the others to take their place.
“Lei Zi, where are you going next, straight back to school?” Driving out of the 4s shop, Ji Feng asked.
“Aren’t you going back?” Zhang Lei was stunned.
Ji Feng shook his head, “I’m going to give something to second uncle, if you guys go back, then I’ll send you back first.”
Although he wasn’t desperate to eradicate Xingtai Hotel, at least, he had to send a copy of the surveillance video to Second Uncle first.
“That’s fine.” Zhang Lei nodded and smiled. the 4s shop was in the suburbs and it wasn’t that easy to get a taxi, so they had to let Ji Feng drive them back.
“I say madman, that Hu Xuehui should have been taught a lesson this time, right?” Zhang Lei was quite gloating, “At first she was so high and mighty, but now she’s even worse than a beggar, I just wonder, she actually has the face to come and beg you?”
Ji Feng shook his head slightly and laughed, “For her own sister’s sake.”
“Hey!”
Zhang Lei skimmed his mouth and said disdainfully, “When she dumped you, it was for her own sake, and now she’s coming to beg you, it’s for her sister …… I’d like to know, when has she ever thought about you? If I may say so, such a woman deserves what she has fallen into, and you actually help her!”
“Even if it is replaced by a stranger who knows nothing about each other, it is always necessary to help.” Ji Feng laughed.
“That’s you, if it were me, not to mention helping her, I’d be lucky if I didn’t step on her toes.” Zhang Lei said in an unkind tone, “This woman has never treated you sincerely at all, there is no need to talk to her about any affection at all, if you are good to her, it is only feeding your conscience to the dogs, there is no need for that at all!”
“I think Ji Feng did the right thing!” Shen Jingyi gave Zhang Lei a white look, “When a former girlfriend breaks up, you must look at each other in anger, huh? Zhang Lei, if we break up in the future, will you treat me like this too? And step on me too?”
“Then of course not!” Zhang Lei immediately said, “But the madman’s situation is different, and that woman Hu Xuehui is different from other women.”
“What’s different?” Shen Jingyi glared at him, “They were all in love before and then broke up, at most Hu Xuehui had done something excessive, could she still see death and not save it?”
“Some excessive things?”
Zhang Lei couldn’t help but snicker and said disdainfully, “More than excessive things? What Hu Xuehui did in the first place was simply desperate and insane ……”
Ji Feng waved his hand and laughed, “It’s all in the past.”
“In your opinion things are in the past, but I can’t get past it!”
Zhang Lei coldly snorted, “Jingyi, let me tell you this, in the past, because of certain reasons, crazy people were discriminated against, what did that woman Hu Xuehui do, after she realized that Ji Feng would be looked down upon if he had no money, not only did she break up with Ji Feng, but she also said something that shamed Ji Feng, that’s not all, she also talked nonsense to others about Ji Feng’s life, making Ji Feng almost unable to lift his head in school! What do you think a woman like that has to be pitied?”
“This ……” Shen Jingyi couldn’t help but be silent, she didn’t know about these things, and now that she heard Zhang Lei say it, she didn’t know what to say.
In fact, in her heart, she also acquiesced to Zhang Lei’s statement.
It was common for a woman to break up with her boyfriend for the sake of money, and besides, this was at most a bit snobbish, but it wasn’t a big unforgivable mistake.
But the problem is, if that woman called Hu Xuehui really did those things later on, that would be really unforgivable.
No matter what, that’s always a man you’ve had an affair with, and even if you like money, you don’t have to insult him like that, right?
“This Hu Xuehui is really stupid!” Hu Xuehui couldn’t help but shake her head and say, “To talk about her ex-boyfriend so badly, how can she look good herself? There’s glory on her face, huh?”
“So, this is a stupid woman, and the stupid things done are definitely not this one or two, I can’t tell you clearly for a while ……” Zhang Lei shook his head, “Such a woman, now fallen, that is the punishment for her! ”
“However, Ji Feng doing this, on the contrary, just shows that he is broad-minded!” Shen Jingyi said.
She asked herself, among all these people she knew, there was really no one like Ji Feng who could help out a person who had once insulted her in every way, regardless of her past grudges.
Such a person was absolutely admirable!
“Let’s not talk about that, it’s been almost three years, what’s the point of mentioning ……” Ji Feng shook his head, “It’s not like it’s a glorious deed, it’s very dignified to be dumped by a woman, huh?”
“Hey, it’s not talking to my wife, if it was an outsider, I wouldn’t have such a big tongue!” Zhang Lei laughed.
“Who’s your wife!” Shen Jingyi gave him a blank look, “I can tell you, just pa*sing my test won’t help, there’s also my family, you have to pa*s their test too!”
“Your family?” Zhang Lei was stunned, “What test do they have? I have good features, good conduct and no bad habits, I’m just the kind of man that all girls dream of, what’s not to like about your family?”
“Look at you!” Shen Jingyi gave him a blank look, “Martial arts, do you know it?”
“Just now at the entrance of Xingtai Hotel, you didn’t see it ah?” Zhang Lei gave a heated smile, “Those little thieves seven or eight of them couldn’t even get close to me, do you think I know kung fu?”
“But my family’s test is not that simple!” Looking at his smug look, Shen Jingyi could not help but sigh lightly in her heart, but her mouth said, “You, when will you be able to defeat me with one hand, then maybe you can pa*s my family’s test.”
“One, defeat you with one hand?” Zhang Lei almost didn’t bite his tongue, “I can’t beat you even with two hands combined now!”
“So yeah, you’d better think about how to improve your kung fu!” Shen Jingyi shook her head, “Try to reach the middle Houtian stage as soon as possible!”
She sighed lightly in her heart, the middle Houtian stage, coupled with Zhang Lei’s family background, might be able to win her parents’ approval, it was also fortunate that Zhang Lei was not a small person, otherwise, it would not be that easy to pa*s her family’s test.
But if Zhang Lei does not reach a certain level, when the time comes, even if his family history is good, his own family will not agree, because, they have long given themselves a marriage contract ……
Ji Feng, however, was moved in his heart and asked at once: “Middle Houtian? Shen Jingyi, what do these four words mean?”
Chapter 926
Mid-Hind Heaven?
Ji Feng vaguely recalled something.
At first, he had dealt with Tian Guodong and others from the Xuan Yin Sect, and although the two sides were hostile, for Ji Feng, he had learned some information from them.
In particular, when he fought with one of Tian Guodong’s senior brothers, he said that Ji Feng was an innate martial artist and called his biological current innate true qi. Was there any connection between the innate mentioned in this and the mid-successional stage Shen Jingyi had mentioned?
“Jingyi, Ji Feng is asking you something, why aren’t you talking?” Zhang Lei glanced at Shen Jingyi and asked with a frown.
“I was thinking …… how I should answer this question from Ji Feng!” Shen Jingyi shook her head and said, “The four words Mid-Hind Heaven are actually very easy to explain, it’s a level of martial artist, but how to explain it clearly to you guys is a bit troublesome.”
“A level of martial artist?” Zhang Lei was stunned, “Isn’t it just some kind of martial arts master, martial arts grandmaster or something like that? What’s the name of the middle Houtian stage again?”
Ji Feng likewise paid attention to listen, although his own kung fu was superb, but he had never really understood much about this martial arts, before he did not put his own energy into this area, he was just busy developing the pharmaceutical factory, now that he had this opportunity, he naturally had to learn about it properly.
At the same time, he could also take this opportunity to probe into the exact origins of Shen Jingyi.
“In fact, although modern society has entered the high-tech era and hot weapons have dominated, the martial arts world has not actually become extinct.” Shen Jingyi said.
“So that means there are really martial arts masters?” Zhang Lei asked in amazement.
“That’s right!”
Shen Jingyi nodded slightly, “Not only were there really martial arts masters, but those martial artists were all very strong.”
“Then how come we don’t usually see these masters?” Zhang Lei asked curiously, “Are they all like the ones shown on TV, they are all hiding and training?”
“Some of them are.”
Shen Jingyi nodded and said, “However, there are also a large portion of martial artists who have entered the world, they have extraordinary skills, no matter if they are doing business or other things, they have an advantage over ordinary people, so now many martial artists have a not low status in the society!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but ask, “And then?”
“And then?”
Shen Jingyi couldn’t help but be stunned, “What then?”
“It’s not like people who know kung fu can’t do business, as long as they don’t break the law, can’t anyone do anything?”
Ji Feng laughed, “What I want to know is, what is the situation in your martial world now, for example, is it still like the old days when there were various sects and families and so on? Also, what about that level of martial artists you mentioned?”
“There aren’t many sects anymore, in fact, even if there really are sects, they are still very much in decline.”
Shen Jingyi said, “More of them exist in the form of clans, for example, our family is like that. The family members know kung fu, so it’s much easier to do things.”
“So that’s how it is!” Ji Feng faintly nodded his head.
“Apart from that, there are also some martial artists who have entered the army, because they have a good kung fu, and they are all doing well.” Shen Jingyi said, “There are also martial artists who will send their sons and daughters who have great skills to be guards and protect the leaders.”
“And what about the rank of martial artists?” Ji Feng asked.
Shen Jingyi said, “In the martial arts world, martial artists are divided into two big levels, which are Houtian and Xiantian, and both of these levels have three stages, which are the early, middle and late stages.”
“So that’s how it is …… Then what’s the difference between Pre-Ten and Post-Ten?” Ji Feng asked.
Shen Jingyi knew that Ji Feng was strong, so she was not surprised to see him interested in martial arts matters.
“It’s like this, the biggest difference between Houtian and Innate lies in being able to cultivate …… on your own,” before Shen Jingyi could finish her words, Zhang Lei interrupted her.
“True Qi?”
Zhang Lei asked in surprise, “Could it be the legendary internal force?”
“Yes, one could refer to it as internal force!”
Shen Jingyi nodded slightly, “From the time one starts even Kung Fu, until they are able to cultivate it on their own, martial artists in this process are known as Houtian martial artists, once a martial artist can cultivate it on their own, then they are Innate martial artists.”
“What do you mean by being able to cultivate on your own?” Ji Feng asked.
He came to be interested, this was really interesting in the martial world, there were actually gradations, this was just like what was shown on TV.
“Generally as long as one has the correct recipe and heart method, cultivating true qi is not too difficult, however, once one does not practice for a period of time in between, the acquired true qi will slowly and automatically dissipate and one’s strength will go down!”
Shen Jingyi said, “However, once one breaks through the innate realm, the true qi in the martial artist’s body will become extremely pure, and more importantly, at this time, even if the martial artist does not practice for several months and years, the strength will not drop downwards, and it will also progress, just by a small margin!”
“That means that …… Houtian true qi will dissipate on its own, while innate true qi can absorb energy from the outside world on its own, that’s why there is a difference between being able to cultivate on its own or not, am I right?” Ji Feng asked.
Thinking about what Tian Guodong’s senior brother said, at that time, when he first heard about innate true qi, he heard about it from him, and he also said that even a hundred martial artists might not be able to produce one innate true qi, as if it was very precious.
Now, it seemed that the difference between Innate and Acquired Qi was really big.
“Right on the money!” Shen Jingyi nodded her head.
“Innate True Qi is so awesome?” Zhang Lei also became interested, “Then if one becomes an innate martial artist and then keeps cultivating, wouldn’t one end up becoming a god?”
“You think the innate realm is that easy to break through, huh?” Shen Jingyi gave him a funny and good-natured white glance, “The vast majority of martial artists may not be able to break through the Innate Realm in their lifetime, and some will be blocked at the early stage even if they do.”
“That harsh?” Zhang Lei was stunned, “Then what level are you?”
“Middle Houtian!” Shen Jingyi said.
“What about me?” Zhang Lei asked again, “I should be considered Pre-Hind Heaven, right?”
“Not really!”
Shen Jingyi said, “You don’t even have True Qi, so you can only be considered an external martial artist, and the level cla*sifications I’m talking about are all for internal martial artists.”
“Are you kidding?” Zhang Lei was immediately a bit dissatisfied, “Why should one be an external martial artist without true qi, could it be that those masters who practice Powerful Vajra Finger, Iron Sand Palm, Golden Bell Shroud and so on, come to the level without it?”
“Those kung fu you are talking about, also need true qi to motivate, without true qi, they can only be ordinary external kung fu!” Shen Jingyi said.
Zhang Lei’s face instantly fell: “…… Then what level is the most powerful person in your family?”
“My grandfather, late Houtian peak, one step short of crossing into the Xiantian realm!”
Shen Jingyi said, “Now you know why I want you to work hard to improve your strength, right? With your current kung fu, I’m afraid you can’t even catch a single finger from my father, how can you still pa*s the test?”
“……” Zhang Lei’s mouth opened, but he didn’t know what to say.
He had thought that he was already very good, but now he realized that he couldn’t even catch a finger from someone, which was too devastating.
Seeing that look on his face, Ji Feng couldn’t help but laugh, “Lei Zi, practice that fitness exercise I gave you properly, you can’t guarantee that you can also become an innate expert!”
“Sh*t! Is it that easy?”
Zhang Lei grunted, “Didn’t you hear what Jing Yi said, the vast majority of martial artists are blocked from reaching below Xiantian, am I that talented?”
Ji Feng laughed, “Keep practicing, maybe a miracle will really happen?”
“Forget it, you don’t have to comfort me either.”
Zhang Lei waved his hand and said, “I may not have that kind of talent, nor have I ever thought about reaching innate and becoming a super expert or something like that. However, I won’t give up either, at least I have to pa*s the test of Jing Yi’s family to do so!”
Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, and didn’t explain too much. In fact, he was aware that if what Shen Jingyi said was true and the gap between martial artists was so wide, then the two sets of body-building exercises imparted by the intelligent brain were simply a straight shot to innate talent.
He clearly remembered that he was actually able to practise on his own when he completed the first set of body-building exercises, only that, as Shen Jingyi had said, if he didn’t keep practising, progress would be very slow, but no matter what, complete mastery of the first set of body-building exercises would enable him to enter the Ascended Realm!
As long as Zhang Lei kept practising, it would be a breeze to reach the middle Houtian stage.
But what interested Ji Feng even more was those martial arts guards that Shen Jingyi had mentioned.
He was naturally very clear about some of the upper echelons, and it was said that quite a few of the guards were martial arts masters themselves, it was just that at the time he hadn’t thought that there were really martial arts, so he hadn’t paid much attention to them.
However, now that Shen Jingyi said so, Ji Feng suddenly became aware of it.
It turned out that many of those guards with high martial arts skills came from these martial arts families or some sects.
In fact, when you think about it, you can understand that if these sects or families want to do business, naturally, the bigger the network, the better.
If they want to do business, the bigger their network, the better. If they send their family members as guards, they will most likely follow some big names.
And so the network of connections was slowly built up.
Of course, according to Ji Feng’s knowledge, in fact, instead, many of the fops and those private bosses had more guards around them instead.
“Shen Jingyi, have you ever heard of a sect called Xuan Yin Sect?” Ji Feng suddenly asked.
Shen Jingyi was stunned, “Xuan Yin Sect? That’s not something I’ve heard of. In fact, since the war of resistance, many sects have fallen away, and they have much less interaction with each other, some of them simply stopped interacting with other sects and switched to other things, they just didn’t leave their kung fu behind.”
Ji Feng then understood, it seemed that this Xuan Yin Sect, should be a sect that did not interact with the outside world, but how did they hook up with the Qiao family?
“Ding ……” Suddenly, Ji Feng’s phone rang sharply, and he casually picked up the phone, “Hello.”
“Ji Feng, my father is hospitalized, at the First People’s Hospital, I am on my way there now, but it will take about an hour, you are closer, can you go there first?” Xiao Yuxuan’s voice was very anxious.
