Chapter 1520: Chapter 730 Follow-up Self-reflection_2

Lin Haihu wearing those shoes is like carrying a bio-weapon with him. No kidding, when we encountered those robbers just now, if Lin Haihu had just taken off his shoes, there wouldn’t have been any life-threatening situations at all; those guys would have knelt down immediately...

Yan Fei was reminded by his wife and realized he had been a bit negligent. Keeping this jerk overnight at his Provincial City home was bearable because his house is big and ventilated. Despite this, he had planned to take the mats and blankets used by Lin Haihu and use them as bedding for the dog kennel.

From now on, while traveling outside, they’ll have to stay in hotels and guesthouses, where the rooms aren’t very large and the ventilation isn’t great. Allowing his brother to stay in the same room as him really seemed like a disservice to his brother.

"Tomorrow, I’ll buy him a pair of sandals. If he wears those shoes again, he’s not coming with us," Yan Fei quickly decided.

The next morning, Yan Fei and the others didn’t have to wait long before a police officer came to notify them: "Thank you for your cooperation. You can continue your travels now. If there are any follow-up issues, we will contact you by phone. After we close the case, a reward will be directly sent to your local police station, and you can collect it there."

Yan Fei quickly glared at Lin Haihu, who was about to speak, and declined: "Comrade, the reward thing was just this young man’s nonsense. Could you please report back that we don’t want this reward, is that possible? I run a small business back in our place and have a bit of a reputation. I often do righteous acts, and I really don’t want to get involved in such acts outside my area!"

What Boss Yan was most reluctant about now was others associating him with the term ’superhuman strength,’ because when this term is combined with ’just barely passing exams,’ it’s really annoying.

It took a long while, but the policeman finally said reluctantly: "I’ll mention it when I get back, is that okay? I’ll call you to follow up, how does that sound?"

"Thank you so much," Yan Fei said, shaking the officer’s hand vigorously to express his gratitude.

As soon as the police officer left, Lin Haihu was discontented: "Why reject a good reward? This was my first time engaging in a righteous act!"

This bastard didn’t know that for the sake of two hundred fifty yuan, he had already done something more meaningful than a mere righteous act. Speaking of this, he became especially indignant, fearful that others might notice the delight he actually felt inside, pondering over how to spend the ’deposit’ left by the spy.

Yan Fei gave him a glare: "What guarantee did you make before we left? ’Listen to everything I say,’ have you forgotten? Do you still want to hang out with us or not? Keep quiet now, and come with me to buy shoes."

After buying Lin Haihu a pair of sandals and letting him wash his feet well in the hotel before changing into the new shoes, they set off again.

...

"You shouldn’t have come."

"But we’re already here!"

"Since you’re here, don’t leave. And if you want to go, leave the money."

"No money left, but we’re still leaving."

"Then don’t blame us for being rude..."

Not long after hitting the road, Lin Haihu began to self-direct and narrate last night’s event, full of regret now. He had acted too hastily at that moment; it was his first time traveling far, the first time encountering such a staged robbery. Not knowing what he was thinking, he instinctively started fighting when he heard Yan Fei give the command.

After beating a few people and being shocked by Yan Fei’s throwing and smashing attack, they then witnessed a man being accidentally killed by his fellow bandit’s gun, which they really couldn’t react to at the moment.

"Cousin, do you think if we had spoken like this to those guys last night, it would have been particularly exhilarating?" After entertaining himself for a while and realizing Yan Chao, the small spectator, couldn’t cooperate with him, Lin Haihu turned his attention to Yan Fei.

"You say that to them, and all the metal pellets from those two guns will be sprayed all over you," Yan Fei unapologetically burst his bubble. "If you still want to ask me this question, then you’d better check if Yama’s Palace has a phone line first."

"Look at you talking..." Lin Haihu felt uneasy. "They wouldn’t start shooting right away, would they? Wouldn’t that be a big deal if someone got hurt?"

"You think we got out so quickly because those guys are seasoned criminals, already known by the police. With your reckless youth look, if they see something off, giving you a shot won’t be a big deal..."

"..." Lin Haihu fell silent.

After a while, he spoke again, "Is it because you often run into these kinds of things when you’re out and about?"

"You’re talking nonsense!" Yan Fei rolled his eyes. "If the public security was that bad, how could our economy have grown so fast? Didn’t you see on our way to the Provincial City, not even petty thieves were around. It’s just that this place happens to be at the border of two provinces, and these guys take advantage of the police’s difficulty in handling cases across provinces, otherwise they’d have been dealt with long ago."

"That’s true," Lin Haihu conceded sheepishly. Unbeknownst to him, his cousin’s relentless ’Street Cleaning Operation’ also played a role in the tranquility of the provincial road.

"Alright, stop overthinking, let me analyze this for you," Yan Fei changed the subject. "You made plenty of mistakes last night, even though these incidents aren’t common, you still need to learn from them. First off, that series of consecutive kicks you started with. Were you out of your mind? Facing a large group by yourself, then jumping up to kick, what if they swarmed you as soon as you landed, leaving you no chance to escape?"

"I just wanted to strike first to awe them!" Lin Haihu got distracted, trying to justify himself.

"You just wanted to show off, flaunting your Kung Fu," Yan Fei mercilessly pointed out his vanity.

Lin Haihu was left speechless; he usually sparred with people in the ring just for fun, freewheeling, looking cool as they liked, all just young guys having fun. But he had overplayed it, forgetting to shed this bad habit when facing real danger.

Even the toughest person, when jumping up to strike, will have a brief moment of rigidity to maintain balance upon landing. If it’s against one person, delaying a moment upon landing after kicking them away is fine. But against a group, continuing like that is foolish — as Yan Fei said, if they quickly react, they could rush him during his rigid moment and he’d be done.

"Also, after you knocked down a few people, you thought it was all good, right? Got carried away, right? Only focused on hitting without keeping your eyes and ears open, heard them grabbing weapons and still naively chased after them... At least you should have pulled someone in as a shield, in case they pulled out a gun, to have some protection, right?" Yan Fei continued analyzing.

"Mhm," Lin Haihu nodded honestly.

If it hadn’t been for Yan Fei using someone as a weapon and throwing it towards them, when that rabbit-gun fired and those pellets sprayed, he would have had nowhere to hide.

"And you talk about being a bodyguard, if I were a boss who couldn’t do Kung Fu and you were supposed to protect me, do you think you could handle it?" Yan Fei hit him where it hurt again.

Lin Haihu could only nod; if he couldn’t take care of himself, he figured the people he was supposed to protect would probably end up getting robbed, grateful if the robbers were merciful enough to just steal belongings. Should they encounter ruthless robbers, the consequences were unimaginable, who knows what they’d do to them!

"Especially that thing you mentioned earlier about needing to say a few words to set the scene, that’s the most absurd. Act first when necessary, preemptively strike, all that jabbering is for TV and movies. In real situations, too much talk and you’ll be pushing up daisies..."

When it comes to fighting experience, Yan Fei was much more seasoned than Lin Haihu. Quickly, he outlined three or four points, leaving the young man as wilted as frosted eggplant, no longer showing off like before.

"You should reflect on it yourself. Usually, when we play around, it’s all fun, but in real situations, being extra cautious never hurts. Look how many people have accidentally turned an ordinary fight into a fatal one..." Seeing he had made his point, Yan Fei then told him to ’reflect’ properly and pulled out his phone to call Director Pi to update on their itinerary.
