Having Talent is Annoying

Linjiang Pavilion, Youfeng Laiyi private room.

Outside the window was the night view of the river, brightly lit, with throngs of tourists.

"Team Li, you're really splurging today, actually booking a private room at Linjiang Pavilion."

"Thanks to Mr. Lu, we might just get a Collective Third-Class Merit, what's a meal worth?" Li Jinglin stood up and shook hands with Lu Zheng.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Lu Zheng had met Li Jinglin; the two had never met before.

"You're too kind, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time, it was actually quite a coincidence."

Li Jinglin's eyes were bright, he looked like a ruthless character at first glance.

"Please, sit."

Li Jinglin invited Lu Zheng to sit down, "Civil servants can't drink Maotai at public or private banquets, so let's drink Wuliangye."

"Anything is fine with me!"

The waiter filled the glasses for everyone, and they all raised their glasses together.

They ate and chatted.

Li Jinglin clinked glasses with Lu Zheng and asked with a smile, "To be honest, what I'm most curious about is your martial arts skills, Mr. Lu. You're too amazing. How did you learn them?"

Lin Wan also looked over with her beautiful eyes.

Lu Zheng also smiled. He had already gone over the explanation in his mind dozens of times. Although it wasn't flawless, it couldn't be refuted because there was no evidence...

When you eliminate all the impossibilities, you can only believe that Lu Zheng is telling the truth.

"I've loved reading martial arts novels and watching martial arts TV series since I was a child. I had a hero's dream."

Li Jinglin nodded, "Who doesn't? Every man has a martial arts dream."

"I didn't think about learning martial arts at that time, I just practiced randomly and fantasized about all sorts of things." Lu Zheng explained with a smile, "Imagining opponents attacking from all sorts of angles, and then imagining myself countering in all sorts of ways."

"Oh?"

"Later, as I grew up, I also saw various routines and even taught myself swordsmanship online, but I never lost this habit. Gradually, I learned the techniques of applying force."

Lu Zheng ate a mouthful of food, "Fortunately, my reaction seems to be relatively fast, plus I'm young and strong, and I know how to apply force, so my punches might be heavier.

It can also be considered practice makes perfect. I think if others continue this kind of practice for more than ten years, they can probably be this powerful too."

The three of them: _? Is that it?

Randomly fantasizing and practicing, practice makes perfect, and then you become invincible?

Li Jinglin chuckled, "I've also practiced for more than ten years, but I'm not as good as you."

Lu Zheng smiled shyly. How should he put it? He had already mentioned his innate reaction speed. That was talent, there was no reasoning to be had.

Li Jinglin had seen the surveillance footage of Lu Zheng subduing Li Yanjie with one move at the crossroads and knocking down the international wanted criminal with one punch in the hotel lobby.

His movements were fast and ruthless, decisive and sharp, no different from the top special forces soldiers. How could an ordinary college graduate possess such skills? The old detective's instinct made him investigate Lu Zheng, but looking at his growth, there was no experience of him disappearing for a long time at all.

And seeing him today, Lu Zheng's skin was fair and his fingers were delicate, he really didn't look like he had undergone systematic training, so Li Jinglin could only helplessly admit that perhaps there were geniuses in this world.

"You shouldn't have studied computer science. With your skills, you should have joined the army. With your talent and the army's training, you would definitely be a first-class special forces soldier."

"I wouldn't dare, I know my own limitations, how could I have that ability?"

"I came from the army, do you think I wouldn't know?" Li Jinglin glared.

Lu Zheng was helpless, the feeling of being praised was really weird.

On the other side, Huang Xiumin chuckled, and Lin Wan couldn't help but ask, "Lu Zheng, do you usually train on your own?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "I practice on my own. Actually, if this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have known I was so powerful. After all, constantly fantasizing about fighting with martial arts masters doesn't seem like something an adult should do, it feels a bit embarrassing."

Li Jinglin took a deep breath, clutching his chest, feeling a little stabbed.

Lin Wan and Huang Xiumin were criminal police officers who also exercised and practiced Sanda, so after hearing Lu Zheng's Versailles-like remarks, they also felt a little like vomiting blood.

"Now that you know you're so powerful, what are your plans for the future?"

"Uh, no plans." Lu Zheng blinked, unsure of Lin Wan's meaning. "In modern society, fighting is against the law."

"Pu haha!"

"Lu Zheng, you're so funny!"

Lin Wan also laughed, "Actually, you're still young and so talented. You could make a career out of it, like a boxing coach."

Lu Zheng shook his head, "Not interested."

Huang Xiumin added, "But aren't you currently unemployed?"

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes, "Go to a boxing gym and hit on old aunties?"

"That's a fitness gym; boxing gyms don't have old aunties," Huang Xiumin said with a smile, "but they do have a lot of young ladies."

Lin Wan changed the subject, "So, you've been practicing for over a decade. Do you have any experience, insights, or unique routines?"

"I do have some, but I haven't specifically summarized them. After all, it's all been self-taught."

Lin Wan immediately said, "Then how about this? Why don't you teach me first?"

"Uh, okay."

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to a boxing gym I frequent. It integrates exercise, boxing, and training. You can see my skills and then teach me how to box."

"Uh, okay."

Li Jinglin blinked, glanced at Lin Wan, then at Lu Zheng, and then saw Huang Xiumin give him a wink.

Enlightenment!

Well, it seems the young men in the team are going to be heartbroken for a while.

"Okay, then it's settled. You teach me how to box, and I'll get you a membership!"

"Hey? No, no." Lu Zheng quickly waved his hand. "I have money."

"Then I'll pay for your tuition?" Lin Wan brushed her long hair aside, a smile in her eyes.

"Then forget it; you should still get me a membership. Let's just consider it friendly sparring. I'm afraid I'll mislead students as a teacher."

Huang Xiumin coughed lightly, "Actually, the teacher-student relationship can be quite interesting..."

Lin Wan's eyes turned cold, sweeping across, and Huang Xiumin gave a sheepish smile, saying nothing more.

Next, the atmosphere warmed up, and the conversation became more casual. Li Jinglin, fueled by alcohol, even sparred with Lu Zheng a bit.

Without getting up, just hand movements.

But both times, Lu Zheng grabbed his wrist, rendering him unable to move.

"Impressive. It's a pity you're not in the system; otherwise, I would definitely transfer you over."

Lu Zheng laughed, "What era is this? Solving cases relies on high technology and veteran detectives, and when it comes to action, there are guns and plenty of people. Where's the need for boxing experts?"

Li Jinglin shook his head, "That's because you don't know the inside information. Accidents are everywhere. Having one more means of self-defense is one more chance to save your life."

Hearing this, Lin Wan and Huang Xiumin also fell silent.

Seeing Lu Zheng looking somewhat bewildered, Lin Wan mentioned, "Last year, an older brother in the team was accidentally isolated during an arrest operation and was killed by the suspect."

"Uh, I'm sorry..."

Lin Wan chuckled, "What does it have to do with you? Why are you saying sorry?"

"Wasn't I the one who brought up the topic?"

"It was clearly Team Leader Li, okay?"

"So..."

Lin Wan, having had some wine, had a rosy complexion, her eyes like water, and her breath fragrant.

"For the sake of friendship, if you don't want me to have an accident, will you teach me properly?"

"Okay!"
