Li Zetian spread his hands, “Do I look like a rich person to you?”

“You don’t have money and you still ask this and that, what a damn waste of my breath!

Get out of here quickly!” The guy handing out flyers didn’t have very good eyesight.Full novel: Giant of the Era — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

He only knew the other party had no money after Li Zetian said so.

If it were some female sales assistants in shopping malls, they would simply be walking brand scanners.

Whether the other party had money or not, they could recognize it at a glance.

Li Zetian didn’t argue with this kind of muscle man.

He shook his head and left Mo’s Martial Arts School.

Actually, this society was just this realistic.

If you don’t have money, you will be looked down upon and driven away.

For Li Zetian, he was already accustomed to it.

Who asked him to be a helpless orphan in his previous life?

However, Li Zetian liked a quote once said by American oil tycoon Rockefeller very much: “Our destiny is determined by our actions, and absolutely not entirely by our birth.”

Besides, China also had the famous saying, “A hero should not be asked about his origins.”

Therefore, Li Zetian never felt inferior because of his identity, but instead became more determined to forge ahead, striving to become a dragon among men!!!

…

Li Zetian strolled around Yau Ma Tei in Hong Kong for more than two hours.

Around 6:45 in the evening, he came to the door of Betty Ting Pei’s house again.

He estimated that the time was about right, so he walked to a nearby telephone booth and began to dial the emergency call.

However, just after finishing dialing the 999 emergency number, Li Zetian suddenly hung up the phone.

“No, this method won’t work!

If the operator is more alert, they will ask why I am dialing the emergency number from a telephone booth instead of using the phone at home directly.

How do I answer this?

Say the phone is broken?

If I say so, the other party can find out the phone number of her house based on Betty Ting Pei’s home address, and then call to confirm.

The person who answers the phone will most likely be Betty Ting Pei.

Betty Ting Pei thinks Bruce Lee only has a very ordinary headache and should be fine after taking some medicine, otherwise she would have called an ambulance long ago.

When the operator asks her if Bruce Lee is at her house, Betty Ting Pei will definitely deny it flatly.

If she says yes, wouldn’t that be admitting that Bruce Lee is alone in the same room with her?

Isn’t she afraid of scandals flying everywhere?!

You know, Bruce Lee is a married man…”

Li Zetian frowned, thinking to himself that there must be a foolproof plan!

He paced back and forth on the spot until a minute passed before he stopped.

Yes, he had already thought of a plan.

Next, Li Zetian went to a pharmacy to buy a mask, then put it on.

Next, he went to a nearby restaurant to buy a box of barbecue pork rice, packed it to go.

Subsequently, Li Zetian took the barbecue pork rice, pretended to be a delivery employee, and rang the doorbell of Betty Ting Pei’s house.

Ding-ling-ling!!!

The person who came out to open the door was Raymond Chow.

He hadn’t left yet.

“Hello, sir, the barbecue pork rice has arrived!” Li Zetian spoke.

Raymond Chow frowned and said: “We don’t seem to have ordered takeout!”

“But the address is clearly here.

I have a very good memory and have never made a mistake.

Sir, you may not have ordered takeout, but it doesn’t mean other people in the house haven’t.

How about you go ask?”

Raymond Chow thought to himself, Bruce Lee was a martial artist and had a big appetite.

Maybe he was the one who ordered the takeout.

“Okay, wait a moment, I’ll go ask.”

Bang!

The main door closed again.

Li Zetian wasn’t in a hurry and waited patiently, a trace of a smug smile showing on his face.

As long as Raymond Chow went into the room to ask Bruce Lee if he ordered the takeout?

If after asking for a while, Bruce Lee still had no response, with Raymond Chow’s shrewdness, he would definitely notice the problem.

After more than ten minutes, Raymond Chow appeared in front of Li Zetian again, but at this moment, his face was written with tension and worry.

“Give me the barbecue pork rice.

Here is 100 Hong Kong dollars.

Keep the change as a tip.

You can leave now!”

“Thank you, sir!”

Li Zetian felt happy in his heart.

A 5 HKD barbecue pork rice box not only recouped the cost but also earned him 95 HKD!

However, he didn’t walk far, but waited nearby.

After a short while, an ambulance drove over and stopped at the door of Betty Ting Pei’s house.

Hearing the siren of the ambulance, Raymond Chow hurriedly opened the main door and then ushered the doctors and nurses into the house!

Watching the main door slowly close, Li Zetian’s suspended heart immediately felt grounded.

He murmured: “Do one’s best and leave the rest to God!

I can only help up to here.

Whether he can be saved or not all depends on the doctors’ ability!

After the matter is done, brush the clothes and leave, hiding one’s merit and fame…

The matter is completed, I should go home too!”

After saying that, Li Zetian took off his mask and threw it into the trash can.

Li Zetian’s figure gradually disappeared into the night sky of the street.

And his little action tonight was like a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest flapping its wings, not only changing Bruce Lee’s destiny but also changing the destiny of Hong Kong kung fu movies, and even Hong Kong cinema!

…

…

By the time Li Zetian returned home, it was almost 9 o’clock in the evening.

There was a black and white television set at home.

Li Zetian’s parents sat on an old long sofa watching a TV drama.

“Dad, Mom, I’m back!” Li Zetian walked into the house and greeted the two.

His mother Xiao Zhixuan, Li Zetian had seen in the morning.

His father Li Chengzhi was tall and thin, wearing a pair of glasses, looking exactly like a scholar.

“Are you having dinner?” Xiao Zhixuan asked.

“I ate a little bit, but now I seem to be hungry again!” Li Zetian rubbed his belly and laughed.

In fact, he hadn’t eaten at all and his stomach was completely flat.

“You go sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while.

Mom will go heat up the food for you!” As Xiao Zhixuan spoke, she stood up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.

“No need, Mom, I can do it myself!”

“Sit down when I tell you to sit!” While saying this, Xiao Zhixuan started busying herself in the kitchen.

Looking at his mother Xiao Zhixuan’s busy figure bustling about in the kitchen, for a moment, a certain string in Li Zetian’s heart was deeply touched.

That was the family affection deeply buried and incomparably yearned for!!!

Li Zetian was inexplicably moved.

He blinked his eyes and tried hard not to let his tears fall!

After a while, Xiao Zhixuan brought piping hot meals to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian ate it in big mouthfuls, feeling that this meal was simply the best food in the world, even though it was just some green vegetables and radishes plus a fried egg…

After eating, Li Zetian very consciously washed the dishes and chopsticks.

“Dad, Mom, I’m going back to my room,” Li Zetian said.

He didn’t have any mood to watch TV dramas right now.

He had just transmigrated last night and was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night.

Today he wandered around Hong Kong for a whole day.

His body was exhausted and he was sleepy to death.

Of course, this body itself was also a bit frail, otherwise his life wouldn’t have been taken away by a high fever!

“Mhm…” Li Chengzhi and Xiao Zhixuan both nodded.

“Remember to rest early!” Mother Xiao Zhixuan added another sentence.

Although this sounded like nagging, it actually contained deep affection.

Perhaps some people often complain that their mothers are always nagging non-stop, but isn’t she doing it because she cares about you and loves you?

Don’t wait until you lose some things to know how to cherish them!

The current Li Zetian very much enjoyed this kind of nagging and also cherished it very much!

“Okay, I know!” Li Zetian nodded in response.

Returning to his room, Li Zetian took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of white underpants.

The summer breeze blew in through the window, blowing away the mugginess in the room and the exhaustion on Li Zetian’s body.

He lay flat on the bed in a spread-eagle shape, a pair of deep and bright eyes looking up at the vast and boundless starry sky, while muttering softly in his mouth: “Tonight is only my second night since coming to this world, yet I have already changed many people and things!

I believe that in the future, I will change even more things, and I firmly believe that this world will become more wonderful because of me!!!” Gradually, light breathing sounds started to echo in the room.

Unknowingly, Li Zetian had entered a dreamland.

In the dream, he seemed to see himself transform into the brightest star in the night sky…
