Chapter 522: Chapter 486: Fire in the Heart

"Besides this, there are two more things I need to mention," Qian Kun said to Wu Li.

Wu Li: "What?"

Qian Kun looked at him. "Regarding your application to become a special appointment combat instructor, it has been approved. Here is your certification."

As he spoke, Qian Kun handed a blue booklet to Wu Li.

Wu Li took the booklet, which displayed his one-inch photo on it, followed by the words "Special Appointment Instructor" and a string of digital numbers and a steel seal in the bottom right corner.

"This is it? I thought there would be some sort of assessment," Wu Li said with a laugh.

Once Qian Kun realized the value of Wu Li’s "National Martial Arts Practical Combat Record," which Wu Li had composed, he became interested and approached Wu Li, asking if he would like to become the military’s special appointment combat instructor.

Wu Li was naturally willing; in his public duty, he could contribute to his homeland, increasing the soldiers’ chances of survival in close combat, which he considered an honor. Privately, this status could bring many conveniences for Wu Li. Once Hua Jian Security became large, it would undoubtedly lead to some competitive disputes, and this special appointment might just play a role.

"Originally, according to the process, there would be a comprehensive assessment, but Xing Jun voluntarily vouched for you, telling the superior that there is absolutely no problem with your strength. So, we skipped the strength assessment," Qian Kun said to Wu Li.

Wu Li was stunned, then thanked Xing Jun, "Thanks."

Xing Jun waved it off, unconcerned, "It’s nothing."

Actually, with his character, had Qian Kun not mentioned it today, he would never have taken the initiative to tell Wu Li these things as he felt it unnecessary.

Qian Kun continued, "As for the teaching assessment, your ’National Martial Arts Practical Combat Record’ is the best proof. There’s no need for any other tests. And your past deeds, we’ve all seen them, the leadership appreciates your character, so that assessment is also passed, and thus the instructor certificate is issued directly."

Wu Li put away his instructor certificate and smiled, "Thanks to the organization’s trust. So when do I start teaching?"

Qian Kun also smiled, "No rush; for now, focus on the matter with Le Yuan. I will arrange things when there’s time. Since the certificate is issued, you definitely will have classes to teach."

Wu Li: "Okay, any other matters?"

Qian Kun: "The last issue actually relates to the first one. If you are going to Southern F, do you want to bring the ’Seeking Martial Arts’ program team, and do you want to broadcast the whole process of resolving this security event live?"

"Uh," Wu Li was taken aback, "You want me to broadcast it live?"

Qian Kun nodded, "Broadcasting has several advantages. First, the whole nation has been paying attention to this incident, and the higher-ups have spoken up. We need a follow-up to show everyone we are not just talking."

"Second, exposing this event to public eyes can pressure the forces behind Le Yuan, making them more cautious and less likely to support Le Yuan fully, as those are influential figures who will fear public opinion."

"Third, privately resolving an issue and publicly resolving it, the effects and impact are definitely different."

Wu Li nodded, "That makes sense."

Qian Kun continued, "However, broadcasting also has disadvantages. One is the issue of appropriateness, as some things really shouldn’t be seen by everyone. Another, more important, is that if it fails, the embarrassment isn’t just yours."

Wu Li: "I understand."

Qian Kun: "Broadcasting has its benefits but also puts more pressure on you and involves more risks. So, I leave the decision to you."

Wu Li fell into deep thought, while Qian Kun watched with some emotion.

Actually, Qian Kun was surprised that the organization would give Wu Li the decision-making power. Although ’Seeking Martial Arts’ was Wu Li’s program and Hua Jian Security his establishment, the matter involved too significant aspects. Even if the organization directly ordered Wu Li, Qian Kun would have found it reasonable.

But this time, the organization didn’t impose a decision on Wu Li but chose to fully respect him. This made Qian Kun quite emotional, even a bit envious.

He knew this indicated that the organization placed great importance on Wu Li, also appreciating him, which is why they gave him the decision-making power.

"I choose to broadcast."

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Wu Li made his decision.

Since the first encounter with Le Yuan could only result in victory and not defeat, why not add a live broadcast?

Qian Kun looked at Wu Li with admiration. "Good, then communicate with the ’Seeking Martial Arts’ program team. When the actual action starts, we definitely won’t let them follow and film, just let them shoot the overall process, safety is still assured."

Wu Li nodded, "Yeah."

...

On May 28, Qian Kun received intelligence that the ship hijacking was conducted by the Mandela family of Southern F, and the Mandela family had intricate connections with ’Le Yuan.’

On May 29, Wu Li, Xing Jun, Qian Kun, Luo Bin, and five other Master Level Martial Artists, plus twenty outstanding graduates from the first cycle of the training base, flew to Southern F, accompanied by the ’Seeking Martial Arts’ program team.

On June 1, Wu Li and his team arrived at East Cape.

The East Cape Chinese Chamber of Commerce welcomed Wu Li and the others at their local office building.

In the spacious reception room, Wu Li, Xing Jun, Qian Kun, and the high-level executives of the Chamber met, while Chen Gang was live broadcasting with a cameraman beside him.

After some pleasantries, Qian Kun brought up the ship-robbing incident, prompting Liu Jiande, president of the East Cape Chinese Chamber of Commerce, to express with a grieved face, "It’s too frustrating! Ever since our Chamber was established, we have never suffered such an insult!"

"The cargo is lost, and we could simply pay for it, but the key thing is the people on the ship. When our ship was found the second time, it was full of corpses!"

"Those beasts!"

Liu Jiande said through gritted teeth, his eyes red, and the rest of the Chamber’s members also looked indignant.

"What the hell, there’s such a thing?"

"How many people died?"

"Was it a pirate attack?"

"Who’s bold enough to do this?"

...

When the live stream audience heard Liu Jiande say this, they were all shocked.

Qian Kun: "President Liu and everyone else, please accept my condolences. We are here to address this matter. May I ask for more details?"

Liu Jiande nodded: "Go ahead and ask."

Qian Kun: "You just mentioned that the second time your ship was discovered, it was full of corpses. What about the first time?"

Liu Jiande: "The first time, the other party did not kill anyone, they just robbed our cargo."

Qian Kun: "Then why did they choose to kill the second time?"

Liu Jiande: "The first time, we only had a few security personnel on board, and the attackers outnumbered us, so our security staff chose not to resist. The second time, we proactively placed more security personnel on the ship to be prepared and also to see if someone was specifically targeting us."

Qian Kun nodded: "So the second time, there was a firefight, and they chose to wipe out your men."

Dare to resist, and they all die! That was the message the attackers wanted to send.

Liu Jiande nodded heavily: "Yes, so we notified Hua Jian Security. This time, someone is definitely targeting us deliberately, and we need Hua Jian’s help."

Wu Li quietly observed the conversation between Qian Kun and Liu Jiande. Qian Kun already knew the details beforehand. The reason he was asking again was that it was being broadcast live, to let the audience in Hua Country know what was happening and that someone was targeting the East Cape Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"F*ck! This is definitely targeted!"

"So arrogant, they dare to kill everyone if you resist?"

"What era are we in that this still happens?"

"Don’t be too naive, this kind of thing happens all over the world, it’s just not always reported."

"Is maritime shipping really this dangerous?"

...

With Qian Kun’s step-by-step questioning, the audience in the live room gradually understood what was going on.

"President Liu." Xing Jun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Liu Jiande looked towards him.

Xing Jun: "Could I see the photos of the scene?"

"This..."

Liu Jiande’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and someone beside him glared angrily at Xing Jun.

You are here to help, not to investigate a case, why do you need to see the photos? Isn’t this reopening wounds in front of everyone?

"Xing Jun, you..." Qian Kun frowned, about to speak to stop him.

Xing Jun paid him no mind and continued, looking at Liu Jiande with a serious tone: "I don’t mean anything by it, I just want to have a look, may I?"

After a few seconds of silence, Liu Jiande nodded: "Alright."

Then he turned and asked someone to bring the photos.

Soon, a stack of photos was brought over. Liu Jiande averted his gaze, deliberately not looking at the photos in his hands, and handed them over to Xing Jun beside him.

Xing Jun took the photos, lowered his head, and began looking through them one by one.

Wu Li was sitting beside Xing Jun and ended up looking at them together.

However, the images that met his eyes made Wu Li furrow his brow instantly—blood, limbs, eyes filled with fear, various grotesque bodies...

A surge of anger rose within him; even the chair he sat on creaked under him.

Previously, the information Wu Li had seen had been textual, and about the number of deaths in the hijacking, it was just a number he glanced at without much feeling.

But now, seeing his fellow countrymen with the same skin color, the same black hair and eyes, in such a horrific state—even though he didn’t recognize any of them—ignited a fire in Wu Li’s heart!

In the room, Wu Li sat silently looking at the photos, not saying a word, but a suffocating aura emanated from him, enveloping the room and causing everyone else to hold their breath and subconsciously want to stay away from him.

Compared to him, Xing Jun, who usually seemed like an unsheathed knife, appeared remarkably calm now, showing no emotional fluctuation or change in demeanor.

He methodically finished looking at all the photos and then calmly handed them back to Liu Jiande: "Thank you."

Then he turned his head towards Wu Li, their eyes meeting. "You had asked me how I managed to break through the most crucial barrier back then. I didn’t say at the time, not because I wanted to keep it to myself, but because even if I had told you then, you wouldn’t have understood."

"Now I can tell you, because only when strong enough can I personally take on certain tasks, and personally kill certain people!"

Wu Li stared deeply at Xing Jun, "Understood. I’ll kill with you."
