Chapter 29: The Gentle and Amiable Me, Persuading Others with Reason
"Officer, can we do this instead? We won't fight publicly, we'll just close the door and spar," Ren Donglai stepped forward and suggested.
The police officer glared at Ren Donglai upon hearing this, "Spar? Is this sparring? Is he a member of your boxing club?"
"He isn't from our boxing club, but..." Ren Donglai continued to 'argue' with the officer.
Wu Li watched Ren Donglai's performance coldly. Normally, the police wouldn't bother with such trivial matters if two people privately sparred, but Ren Donglai insisted on saying it in front of the police, making it seem like he really wanted to fight Wu Li.
As expected, Ren Donglai's words angered the officer, who exclaimed loudly, "In any case, I've got my eye on both of you. If you dare fight without official permission, I'll take you straight to the police station!"
After saying this, the two officers turned and left.
Once the police had left, a crowd of reporters swarmed around again, and Ren Donglai stepped forward and spoke loudly, "Everyone saw it— it's not that I refuse to fight Wu Li, but now the police won't allow us."
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards Wu Li, "Wu Li, if you want to challenge me, go apply for a formal match. As long as the match is set up, I'll accept your challenge at any time."
Ren Donglai spoke to Wu Li with a righteous air, but the smug look in his eyes was unmistakable, which infuriated Wu Li.
Ren Donglai stepped closer to Wu Li, smiled, and whispered something before patting Wu Li on the shoulder, seemingly meant as encouragement.
"Kid, the match will never be organized. You're still too green to fight me."
