Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 772

He suddenly swung the knife forward, shouting, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Before he finished speaking, he charged towards Du Guanghe like an arrow released from a bow, his long sword drawing a sharp arc in the air, aiming straight for the opponent's vitals.

Faced with Huang Tielin's swift attack, Du Guanghe remained completely calm. With a swift movement, he effortlessly evaded the attack, like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly threw an object out of his hand. A sharp "whoosh" sounded as it cut through the air, and a flash of cold light appeared.

In an instant, the cold light pierced the windshield of the van with lightning speed and struck Huang Tielin's apprentice in the forehead with unerring accuracy.

In an instant, a tiny hole appeared on the disciple's forehead, and bright red blood gushed out like a burst dam.

Before he could even react, the gun he was holding slipped from his hand and fell onto the car seat.

Du Guanghe realized the moment he made his move that the driver was carrying a concealed firearm.

Therefore, for him, the most urgent task is naturally to eliminate this biggest threat first.

Huang Tielin watched helplessly as his beloved apprentice died tragically before his eyes. His anger flared up instantly. He glared and roared, as if to vent his pent-up rage through his shout.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his knife and slashed fiercely at Du Guanghe like a whirlwind.

However, Du Guanghe was not carrying any weapons at this time, and faced with Huang Tielin's fierce offensive, he could only choose to temporarily avoid his attack.

Du Guanghe moved nimbly left and right, skillfully employing guerrilla tactics to maneuver against Huang Tielin.

Huang Tielin was furious at this moment, and each move was more fierce and ruthless than the last. But surprisingly, despite his frequent moves, he was unable to touch Du Guanghe even a single piece of his clothes.

Just then, He Yuzhu, who had been lagging behind, quickly caught up.

Hearing hurried footsteps approaching from behind, Huang Tielin knew something was wrong. Suddenly, he unleashed a deadly attack, aiming straight for Du Guanghe's face.

Upon seeing this, Du Guanghe dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly leaped back a great distance to avoid it.

Taking advantage of the opening, Huang Tielin leaped out of the battle circle and stared at He Yuzhu with a solemn expression, inwardly groaning.

Just moments ago, I clearly heard the footsteps dozens of meters away, but in the blink of an eye, He Yuzhu appeared before me like a ghost!

He Yuzhu sized up the thin old man in front of him, his eyes as cold as water in a frozen pool, and said coldly:

"Put down the knife in your hand, and I can let you die a quick death."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tielin shouted fearlessly, "Stop dreaming! If you have the guts, come at me! I'm not afraid of you!"

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly and sighed softly:

"Sigh, they really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot like a ghostly phantom.

The speed was so fast that it was astonishing, and even Huang Tielin, who was standing to the side, did not have time to react at all.

When Huang Tielin came to his senses, he was shocked to find that the ring-pommel sword he was holding tightly had disappeared without him noticing.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a slight touch on my chest, as if someone had gently patted me.

However, this seemingly insignificant tap contains boundless power.

The next moment, Huang Tielin was horrified to find that He Yuzhu in front of him was gradually shrinking, and the distance between him and the ground was getting farther and farther.

It wasn't until He Yuzhu flew into the air that Huang Tielin suddenly realized—he had actually been sent flying into the sky by a single palm strike from the other party!

But at that moment, the last trace of consciousness in Huang Tielin's mind completely vanished, and he fell into a coma.

He Yuzhu coldly surveyed the scene below, and expressionlessly gave the order:

"Lock him in the basement, interrogate him thoroughly, make sure to find out if there are any other accomplices, and then clean up the mess."

Du Guang, standing to the side, was so stunned that he couldn't close his mouth. Although he knew that He Yuzhu was powerful, he never expected that he would be so powerful.

You must know that Huang Tielin was a master of the Transcendent Realm! But in front of He Yuzhu, he was like an innocent child in kindergarten. Not only was it difficult to catch a glimpse of him, but he was also completely powerless to fight back.

"Yes." Upon hearing this answer, the last shred of hope in Du Guanghe's heart vanished completely.

He had originally thought that if both of his granddaughters married He Yuzhu, he would have some standing in the He family and wouldn't be in such an awkward position.

But now he clearly realizes that the gap between himself and He Yuzhu is as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm.

He Yuzhu was very satisfied with his performance. When he passed the van, he slowly reached out and picked up the bag, then turned and left without looking back.

Meanwhile, Du Guanghe laboriously dragged Huang Tielin to the back seat of the van and put him down. Then he moved the already lifeless body of the driver to the back of the van as well.

After doing all this, he hastily wiped the blood off his hands with his sleeve, started the car, and drove away from the scene quickly.

He Yuzhu first opened his bag, took out stacks of brand-new US dollars, and put them into his mysterious space.

Chapter 547 Revenge

"Hmm, not bad. This $50 as compensation is reasonable."

Although he didn't know why the Jimmy family kept such a huge amount of cash, it was obviously not something he needed to worry about.

Before long, He Yuzhu returned home.

As soon as she entered, Xu Huizhen eagerly stepped forward and asked:

"Why are you back so soon? How did things go?"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, everything has been resolved, there's nothing to worry about."

Xu Huizhen asked suspiciously, "Really? You said it was all settled so quickly? How exactly was it resolved?"

He Yuzhu gently comforted her, saying:

"Honey, you can rest assured that I'll handle things! But after this incident, you'll have to be extra careful when you go out in the future."

Xu Huizhen nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, I know."

After this harrowing experience, Xu Huizhen gained a deeper understanding of the crucial importance of practicing martial arts to strengthen her body.

However, at the same time, she couldn't help but feel worried about the security situation in Hong Kong, so she asked:

"New Year's Day is just around the corner, when exactly are we going to set off back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year with our family?"

After thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu responded:

"Don't worry, my darling. Once I've settled things properly in Tuen Mun, I'll accompany you on your journey home so we can happily celebrate the holidays together."

Upon hearing these words, Xu Huizhen's previously slightly worried face finally broke into a joyful smile. After all, no matter how prosperous and bustling this place was, it could never compare to the warm and familiar courtyard of her own home.

For her, the lively and harmonious atmosphere of living in a courtyard house made her feel more comfortable and at ease.

At this moment, He Yuzhu suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:

"Hey, where is Huang Zhirou?"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and replied coquettishly:

"She's looking around upstairs right now. Hey, Zhu Zi, do you think we should reserve a guest room just for her?"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face, and slowly said, "Well... as for the room, let's just forget about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and went to the study, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed Selby Morrison's number.

After a long while, the phone was finally picked up slowly, and then a sob came from the receiver.

He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, secretly pleased with himself, but on the surface he feigned extreme surprise and asked with concern:

"What happened? Who made you cry?"

Sally Morrison's voice trembled as she spoke over the phone:

"Ah! It's Mr. He..."

Her heart was in turmoil, but she forced back her grief, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and, after regaining her composure, asked:

"I wonder what urgent matter Mr. He has to call about?"

He Yuzhu feigned anxiety and pressed on with the question:

“I heard you crying, so I was worried that something serious had happened. Please tell me what happened?”

After a moment of silence, Selena Morrison took a deep breath and said in a tearful voice:

"Our place was suddenly attacked by thugs. They were really ruthless. They beat Jimmy so badly that he was unconscious. Now those despicable guys have disappeared without a trace."

"Oh my goodness! This is so unexpected!" He Yuzhu exclaimed. "How is Mr. Jimmy now? Is he in any danger?"

Sally Morrison answered, her voice choked with emotion:

"Jimmy... he still hasn't woken up and remains unconscious. And what's worse, the ambulance hasn't arrived yet."

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't immediately kill Jimmy on the spot. That would have been too lenient for him.

Previously, He Yuzhu had secretly injected a powerful surge of vital energy into Jimmy's body. This energy wouldn't kill Jimmy immediately, but it would slowly erode and damage his bodily functions like a slow-acting poison.

Ultimately, this vital energy will reside in Jimmy's heart, bringing him endless torment and pain.

If things continue this way, Jimmy will probably have about 10 more days to live before he dies.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on He Yuzhu's face.

Of course, in this unpredictable and dangerous process, if Jimmy suffers extremely severe mental or physical trauma, he is very likely to die prematurely.

He Yuzhu deliberately made the call, ostensibly to inquire about the situation with concern, but actually to probe whether Jimmy had met with misfortune and died.

He Yuzhu said with a look of astonishment:
