Chapter 79: Killing Technique

    He had attended a friend’s gathering yesterday. While driving home, he sensed that someone was following him, so he went back to the office to rest instead. Today, he sent someone to follow the follower and found out that they were from Si Cheng.


    Tan Ming frowned slightly. “What do they want to do to you?! Photograph your scandal?”


    Tan Ming was worried that Si Cheng wanted to ruin Jiang Huai. Jiang Huai shrugged and replied, “I’ve been in this industry for so many years. What haven’t I seen? He probably mainly wants to investigate our rtionship. Don’t worry.”


    Seeing that Jiang Huai was prepared, Tan Ming was relieved.


    Tan Ming’s martial arts ss started the next day. As she had to attend performance sses during the day, she could only learn martial arts at night. Her entire day was packed.


    Zhu Cheng borrowed a martial arts school studio from his peer. Tan Ming pumped some milk and brought it home after ss in the afternoon, stopping to eat a little before rushing to the martial arts ss.


    Zhu Cheng only stayed in Sea City with Wang Jian for slightly over a week. It was a very short time, so he could only teach some basic but practical self-defense moves first. The in-depth teaching had to wait until Tan Ming and Li Mei returned to the capital.


    Tan Ming was dressed in loose casual clothes and stood upright in front of Zhu Cheng. “Master, don’t I need to change into martial arts robes?”


    When Zhu Cheng heard Tan Ming’s question, he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “Didn’t your mother and brother tell you about the characteristics of our sect’s martial arts?”


    Tan Ming shook her head in a daze. “No.”


    Zhu Cheng looked at Tan Ming’s obedient and cute appearance and thought of the contrast in her behavior that would happen after her practice. An indescribable expression appeared on his face. Then, he waved his hand casually. “You can wear whatever you want when you practice martial arts. After all, idents won’t wait for you to change your clothes.”


    “Alright, let’s start the ss now. In ancient times, martial arts was a killing technique. It was a battle of life and death. However, we are now a society ruled byw. We don’t advocate fighting, but it’s inevitable that we will encounter danger. In this day and age, what we have to do is to protect ourselves. Remember not to over-defend ourselves. Otherwise, even as victims, we also won’t be able to escape the responsibility of thew.”


    Tan Ming asked curiously, “Master, thew has always been a little vague about the recognition of excessive self-defense. But if my life is threatened and I show mercy to the enemy, it’s very likely that I’ll still end up leaving a hidden danger to myself. How should I deal with such a situation?”


    Zhu Cheng didn’t expect Tan Ming to be so fierce even though she looked gentle and obedient. He looked at her in admiration. “You have the demeanor of your mother. This question is very good! Let me ask you a question first. Do you think you’re a weak woman?”


    Tan Ming scratched her forehead in embarrassment. “I don’t think so. I’m quite strong.”


    Zhu Cheng shook his head. “No, you’re a weak woman! When people are on the verge of death, it’s inevitable that they will be stronger and their minds won’t be so clear sometimes.”


    “So the first lesson I’ll teach you tonight is how to go to the police station and give a statement after fighting criminals.”


    Tan Ming’s big eyes widened slightly. “Arc our sses soprehensive?”


    Zhu Cheng smiled casually. “That’s because our after-sales service is good. Do you think the police will conclude that one death and 13 injuries are excessive self-defense?”


    Tan Ming nodded vigorously, but then she thought of Zhu Cheng’s question. It definitely did not seem to match up with thew. She thought of the so-called after-sales service and asked in confusion, “Master, is there someone in ourw enforcement system? Does he help us through the back door?”


    Zhu Cheng adjusted his sses and a trace of smugness shed across his eyes. However, he said with a serious expression, “Nonsense. We are good citizens who abide by thew! We will never bribe officials and corrupt the country’s public servants!”


    “We’re the only sect with a kill record yet can retreat unscathed. What I’m going to say next is the essence of it. You have to listen carefully. If you want to be judged as self-defense in court, first, you have to know an important point. When can you attack?”


    Tan Ming thought for a moment. “When he reached out to grab me!”


    Zhu Cheng waved his hand. “Big mistake! It’s when he shows his weapon and wants to attack you. What do you think ‘weapons’ should include?”


    Tan Ming thought for a moment and replied seriously, “Regted knives and tools, things made of hard materials, and industrial instruments.”


    Zhu Cheng adjusted his sses again, and a glint shed across his eyes. “What you said is very mainstream andmon. Many things that people carry with them can be counted as weapons. Keys, phones. As long as the criminal shows any ill intentions, highlight these ‘weapons’ that you considered could cause you harm..”
