Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 790

Born into a martial arts family on Luzon Island, she had always been a part of the martial arts world, and had never encountered such verbal "difficulties".

But when her gaze met He Yuzhu's obviously malicious and slightly ambiguous smile, she was struck as if by lightning, instantly understanding the hidden meaning in his words.

She was startled at first, and then froze on the spot as if she had been frozen in place.

Immediately afterwards, a blush, like a fiery sunset, quickly spread across her fair cheeks, all the way to her ears.

She bit her lower lip lightly, a hint of coquettishness on her face, and couldn't help but scold:

"You scoundrel!" That coquettish scolding, in this slightly ambiguous atmosphere, seemed to carry a unique charm.

He Yuzhu, however, acted as if nothing had happened, shrugging nonchalantly and continuing to smile as he spoke:

"You were the one who seduced me tonight. Now that the show has started, we have to keep going."

As he spoke, he recalled Lin Wanting's feigned allure when they first met, and chuckled to himself.

"Let go of me right now! If my master comes back, he will definitely not let you off!"

Lin Wanting struggled desperately, trying to pry He Yuzhu's hands off her and break free from his strong grip, while urgently threatening him, her eyes filled with anxiety and anger.

Chapter 563: Promise to Each Other

She knew well the prestige of her master, Zhao Yunhai, on Luzon Island; he was a figure whose every stomp of his foot could shake the local martial arts world. She thought of using her master to intimidate He Yuzhu.

However, He Yuzhu seemed to completely disregard her warning, his face still bearing that confident smile as he leisurely replied:

"Don't worry, when your master arrives, I will openly and directly propose marriage to him."

Besides, if we take care of our wedding night first, he'll probably agree out of consideration for our relationship.”

After saying that, he used both hands forcefully and pulled Lin Wanting into the bathroom without saying another word.

Upon entering the bathroom, He Yuzhu acted like a hungry beast, eagerly reaching out his hands. His hands, filled with urgency, went straight for the buttons on Lin Wanting's clothes, trying to unbutton them.

"I finally managed to take this off after so much effort, why did you put it back on?"

He Yuzhu muttered a complaint, his voice filled with dissatisfaction and helplessness, as if he were describing an extremely troublesome matter.

He recalled the scene when Lin Wanting had gone to great lengths to undress and change clothes in order to carry out her mission, and he deliberately made this sarcastic remark.

At this moment, Lin Wanting was already blushing deeply, her face as red as a ripe apple.

She instinctively clutched her chest tightly, her hands like two loyal guards, desperately trying to stop He Yuzhu from making any further moves.

However, at this moment, her hands seemed to have lost all strength, becoming limp and powerless. The moves she made appeared dazzling and flashy, but in reality, they were like an embroidered pillow—all show and no substance.

These fancy but ineffective moves were like tickling He Yuzhu, who was strong and exuded power, and had no effect whatsoever.

After just a few rounds, her once neat and crisp waitress uniform was torn off, swayed helplessly in the air for a few moments, and then fell to the ground all alone.

Her delicate body was now barely covered by her underwear, hanging precariously.

Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile with a hint of smugness.

He quickly took off his clothes, his movements as swift as a well-trained soldier, and then strode to the faucet, reaching out to forcefully turn it on.

In an instant, the cool water gushed out like a wild horse, splashing up countless sparkling water droplets that shimmered with tiny sparkles under the light.

Lin Wanting, her face flushed with embarrassment, squatted in the corner like a frightened fawn, covering her eyes tightly and not daring to breathe.

She inwardly groaned, wanting to seize the opportunity to escape, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead, incredibly heavy, and she couldn't take a step, as if she were nailed to the ground.

Born into a prestigious family, she was given high hopes by her master from a young age and trained in martial arts. She thought she could travel the world without fear, but she never expected to fall into such a desperate situation today.

Not long after, He Yuzhu suddenly turned around and shouted at Lin Wanting:

"Come here and scrub my back!"

His tone was firm and left no room for argument, as if issuing an order that had to be carried out. In his view, now that he had the situation under control, he had to teach this assassin a lesson.

"I don't want it!"

Lin Wanting responded angrily, her chest heaving violently, her heart filled with rage and resentment, her eyes seeming to want to devour He Yuzhu alive.

She was proud of her status and refused to bow down easily even if she fell into enemy hands.

"Hmph, that's not up to you!" He Yuzhu sneered, a chill running through his voice, then threatened.

"If you don't serve me well today and make me comfortable, your senior brother Xu Changfeng might not see the sun rise tomorrow!"

He knew that Xu Changfeng was Lin Wanting's weakness, and he figured that by using him to coerce her, Lin Wanting would not dare to disobey.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanting trembled with anger, her body like a leaf in the wind.

Her eyes widened in anger as she glared at He Yuzhu, her gaze seemingly spitting fire, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "You...you shameless scoundrel!"

But she wasn't actually that afraid of He Yuzhu in front of her.

Although she didn't quite believe that He Yuzhu was really capable of defeating her highly skilled master, as the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. At this moment, she and her senior brother Xu Changfeng had both fallen into the hands of the other party, like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered, becoming objects to be cut down at will, and could only endure the humiliation for the time being.

Only then did she reluctantly and unwillingly pick up the bath towel, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in her hands.

She slowly lifted her feet, as if she had gone blind, her eyes vacant and helpless, and walked toward He Yuzhu, preparing to rub his back.

As she walked, she secretly plotted how to find an opportunity to escape and save her senior brother from danger.

Only two minutes had passed when He Yuzhu pulled her petite and delicate body into his arms without any warning.

Although she knew perfectly well that resistance at this moment might be futile, Lin Wanting still harbored a strong sense of resentment towards He Yuzhu's behavior.

"Don't do this!"

Lin Wanting's face was full of shame and indignation, and her voice trembled as she spoke, her voice carrying a hint of pleading, as if she were begging fate for a moment of mercy.

Countless images flashed through her mind. She, a disciple of a prestigious martial arts family, had ended up like this, and she was filled with resentment.

However, He Yuzhu remained unmoved and instead gave a cold laugh:

"Tell me, who did you have to mess with? Why did you have to come and provoke this jinx?"

Then, he threatened viciously:

"If you dare disobey me, believe me, I will immediately destroy your dantian and then sell you to a pleasure boat, making you live a life worse than death!"

His threats were merely an attempt to extract more information about the mastermind behind the scenes from Lin Wanting.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanting trembled violently, her body shaking like a leaf.

The terrifying scene flashed through her mind instantly. Images of people living a life of debauchery and suffering humiliation on the pleasure boats flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, and fear arose spontaneously, instantly enveloping her entire body.

Even so, being bullied by He Yuzhu like this, compared to being sold to a pleasure boat and at the mercy of others, doesn't seem much better.

Just as Lin Wanting was falling into despair, He Yuzhu did not rush to do anything indecent to her. Instead, he changed the subject and began to question Lin Wanting about her master.

Now that things have come to this, Lin Wanting knows she has nowhere to retreat, like a little bird trapped in a cage, unable to escape.

So she had no choice but to grit her teeth and, as if she had made a great decision, honestly tell him everything about her master, Zhao Yunhai.

It turns out that Lin Wanting's master, Zhao Yunhai, was a very famous figure on the remote island of Luzon.

Although he is not the most skilled in martial arts, he is at least among the top in terms of ranking.

His subordinates were numerous and talented, with many disciples and followers, forming a force to be reckoned with in the local area.

Moreover, the suburbs of the capital are home to vast sugarcane fields covering tens of thousands of acres.

The sugarcane groves rustled in the breeze, as if telling the story of their owner's wealth and status.

In the sugarcane fields, numerous workers toil daily, creating a continuous stream of wealth for Zhao Yunhai.

In addition, he also runs a large-scale sugarcane processing plant. The factory is bustling with activity and the business is thriving. He is quite influential in the local area and can be considered a local tycoon.

The factory's chimneys soar into the clouds, often belching out thick smoke, a testament to its vigorous development.

Speaking of Lin Wanting's senior brother, he was the one who had been captured by He Yuzhu earlier, named Xu Changfeng.

The sugar factory managed by his master recently received a shipment of goods, which are ready to be sold to Gao Laorong.

The two sides have maintained a close cooperative relationship for a long time, with frequent exchanges and transactions.

This time, Gao Laorong specifically entrusted the two of them, the senior and junior disciples, to carry out an important mission—to assassinate Huo Yingdong and He Yuzhu.

The reason was simple: all the other targets were surrounded by highly skilled guards, forming a tight, impenetrable defense. These two, however, were alone, without any attendants, making them relatively easier to target.

Gao Laorong intended to use this move to deliver a heavy blow to Ye Han and his group, to let them know his power, and to make them fear him and back down.

Gao Laorong is a powerful figure in the martial arts world, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He has been planning this for a long time and feels that this is a good opportunity to suppress his opponents.

However, things had come to this point, and seeing that her chastity was in danger, Lin Wanting was filled with fear and had no time to keep the secret. She had no choice but to tell He Yuzhu the whole story without reservation.

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face as she secretly regretted taking on this dangerous mission.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's face darkened instantly, his expression becoming extremely grave. His gaze sharpened, fixed intently on Lin Wanting, as if it could pierce through her soul. He coldly asked:

"You all wanted to take my life, but now you've fallen into my hands. Tell me, what should I do with you?"

He pondered to himself that there was considerable power behind this, and he needed to extract more useful information from Lin Wanting.

Lin Wanting was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her originally fair face became completely bloodless.

She trembled uncontrollably, her body like a flickering candle in the wind, and stammered in response:

"I...I...Our Lin family is very wealthy. If you are willing to show mercy and let me go, we will definitely offer a huge ransom!"

She planned to use her family's wealth to persuade He Yuzhu to help her escape.
